David Atlee
Phillips – excellent Spartacus bio: https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKphillips.htm
A dying David Atlee
Phillips admitted to his brother Jim that he had been in Dallas on 11/22/63
What he is really admitting to is involvement
in the JFK assassination.

Email from Shawn Phillips to Gary Buell in
January, 2003:
The
"Confession", you refer to was not in so many words as such. I cannot
remember the time frames involved, but this was what was told to me by my father, James
Atlee Phillips, who is deceased. He said that David had called him with
reference to his (Davids), invitation to a dinner, by a man who was purportedly
writing a book on the CIA. At this dinner, was also present a man who was identified
only as the "Driver". David told Jim that he knew the man was there to
identify him as Raul Salcedo, whose name you should be familiar with, if your
research is accurate in this matter. David then told Jim that he had written a
letter to the various media, as a "Preemptive Strike" , against any
and all allegations about his involvement in the JFK assassination. Jim knew that
David was the head of the "Retired Intelligence Officers of the CIA",
or some such organization, and that he was extremely critical of JFK, and his
policies. Jim knew at that point, that David was in some way, seriously involved
in this matter and he and David argued rather vehemently, resulting in a
silent hiatus between them that lasted almost six years according to Jim.
Finally, as David was dying of irreversible lung cancer, he called Jim and
there was apparently no reconciliation between them, as Jim asked David
pointedly, "Were
you in Dallas on that day"? David said, "Yes", and Jim hung the
phone up.

UNQUOTE
David Atlee Phillips on Lee Harvey Oswald and
his supposed Mexico City trip:
(My take: I believe Oswald was in Mexico
City, and I think Phillips is covering up his connection to Oswald)
CIA Mexico City David Atlee Phillips: "- when the record comes out, we will find that
there was never a photograph taken of Lee Harvey Oswald in Mexico City. We will
find out that Lee Harvey Oswald never visited, let me put it, that is a
categorical statement, there, there, we will find out there is no evidence,
first of all there was no proof of that. Second there is no evidence to show
that Lee Harvey Oswald visited the Soviet Embassy." [1987 CA debate,
quoted in Mark Lane’s Plausible Denial.]
CIA David Atlee
Phillips: "My final take on the assassination is there was a conspiracy,
likely including American intelligence officers."

his death, to Kevin Walsh, an investigator with the HSCA. Phillips died in

David Atlee Phillips: on 1954 Guatemala
Coup
From “The Night Watch; 25 Years of
Peculiar Service”, David Atlee Phillips :
"Tomorrow morning, gentlemen," Dulles said, "we will go to the
White House to brief the President. Let's run over your presentations." It
was a warm summer night. We drank iced tea as we sat around a garden table in
Dulles' back yard. The lighted shaft of the Washington Monument could be seen
through the trees. . . .
Finally Brad (Colonel Albert Haney) rehearsed his speech. When he finished
Alien Dulles said, "Brad, I've never heard such crap." It was the
nearest thing to an expletive I ever heard Dulles use. The Director turned to
me "They tell me you know how to write. Work out a new speech for Brad...
We went to the White House
in the morning. Gathered in the theater in the East Wing were more notables
than I had ever seen: the President, his Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secretary
of State - Alien Dulles's brother, Foster - the Attorney General, and perhaps
two dozen other members of the President's Cabinet and household staff....
The lights were turned off while Brad used slides during his report. A door
opened near me. In the darkness I could see only a silhouette of the person
entering the room; when the door closed it was dark again, and I could not make
out the features of the man standing next to me. He whispered a number of
questions: "Who is that? Who made that decision?"
I was vaguely uncomfortable. The questions from the unknown man next to me were
very insistent, furtive. Brad finished and the lights went up. The man moved
away. He was Richard Nixon, the Vice President.
Eisenhower's first question was to Hector (Rip Robertson): "How many men
did Castillo Armas lose?" Hector (Rip Robertson) said only one, a
courier... . Eisenhower shook his head, perhaps thinking of the thousands who
had died in France. "Incredible..."
Nixon asked a number of questions, concise and to the point, and demonstrated a
thorough knowledge of the Guatemalan political situation. He was impressive -
not at all the disturbing man he was in the shadows.
Eisenhower turned to his Chief of the Joint Chiefs. "What about the
Russians? Any reaction?"
General Ridgeway answered.
"They don't seem to be up to anything. But the navy is watching a Soviet
sub in the area; it could be there to evacuate some of Arbenz's friends, or to
supply arms to any resisters."
Eisenhower shook hands all around. "Great," he said to Brad,
"that was a good briefing." Hector and I smiled at each other as Brad
flushed with pleasure.
The President's final handshake was with Alien Dulles. "Thanks Allen, and
thanks to all of you.
You've averted a Soviet beachhead in our hemisphere." Eisenhower spoke to
his Chief of Naval Operations "Watch that sub. Admiral. If it gets near
the coast of Guatemala we'll sink the son-of-a-bitch. ' The President strode
from the room.
Our History
During the 1970s the Intelligence Community
was buffeted by a number of leaks and revelations, culminating in the Church
and Pike Congressional investigations. CIA officer David Atlee Phillips took early retirement in 1975 to respond
to the growing sentiment that the CIA was a “rogue elephant.” As part of this
effort, Phillips founded this organization, known then as the Association of Retired
Intelligence Officers (ARIO). Although much attacked at the time when
many people called for the dismantlement of the CIA, Phillips toured the world to
speak out in favor of the need for a strong intelligence community. He was subsequently personally
accused of being a participant in the Kennedy and Letelier assassinations.
He successfully sued several publications for libel, retractions were issued and
monetary damages awarded. Phillips donated some of these proceeds to ARIO for
the purpose of creating a legal defense fund for American intelligence officers
who felt they were the victims of libel. This defense focus was later moved to
a separate group called Charter, which disbanded in the early 1980s, and AFIO's
focus narrowed to public education within its 501(c)3 charter.
The first ARIO convention was held
in September 1975, and the organization defined its purpose to explain to the
nation the function of intelligence and what intelligence officers can and cannot
do. From the very beginning it sought to reach out to teachers and students
across the country as well as to the media, through publications, such as Periscope
and through periodic luncheons. These early efforts have grown into the robust
academic outreach and support programs present today, including scholarships,
civic outreach, a variety of print and online publications and media fora, an
annual symposium as well as the quarterly luncheons featuring senior officials
from the Intelligence and Policy Communities, authors and media representatives.
In 1978 the name of the
organization was changed to Association of Former Intelligence Officers to reflect
a pool of members who were not necessarily retired, which widened the pool of
eligible members and reflects the current dynamic membership. From its inception in Dave Phillips’
living room and a few hundred members in 1975, AFIO has grown to over 5000
members, with 24 active chapters across the United States.
AFIO is more than a professional or
fraternal organization. Its distinguishing mission is educational...to reach out
to the public and explain what intelligence organizations do, and to build a
nation-wide constituency for intelligence as a profession. In many ways, AFIO
is the public face of the Intelligence Community.
