R. Morris, The Men Behind the Guns (1975)
Harry Dean, an ex-employee
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence
Agency, has marble-hard proof that Republican Congressman John Rousselot
from California's 26th Congressional District, and former Army General
Edwin A. Walker of Dallas, engineered the death of John F. Kennedy.
At the time, Rousselot was western director of the John Birch Society
and Walker was a member of the right wing organization.
The ex-agent has an avalanche
of evidence, including several tape recordings of Rousselot and Walker
making threats against President Kennedy's life...
The former agent infiltrated
the John Birch Society for several months and gathered first-hand
information about the group's activities including plans of certain
members to kill the 35th president of the United States.
He said Rousselot and Walker
convinced other members of the Birch Society that a "dirty communist"
tag should be placed on John Kennedy and that he should be marked
for death to save the United States from "falling into Red hands."
Dean said (General Walker
also was obsessed with hatred for both John and Robert Kennedy and
had a "personal grudge" to settle.
"When Robert Kennedy
was attorney general he ordered his aides to imprison Walker in a
Federal mental institution at Springfield, Missouri, following Walker's
involvement in the racial disorders in 1962 at Oxford,
Mississippi." Dean said.
"In fact, Walker's
clothing was torn off him and he was thrown naked into a military
airplane and flown to Missouri. Robert Kennedy then leaked stories
to the news media that Walker was a mental case," the ex-agent
said...
"I attended many meetings
of the John Birch Society prior to the assassination in 1963 and I
heard details of the Kennedy kill plan being discussed each time we
met," Dean said.
"I know that John
Rousselot organized the murder plot and with other right-wingers financed
it. General Walker ramrodded and trained the hired guns, Dean said.
"I was with a man
in September 1963 when he picked up $10,000 from Rousselot. The money
was taken to Mexico City to help finance the murder of Mr. Kennedy'.
The assassination planning team operated out of Mexico City for several
weeks before the president was shot in Dallas," Dean added
Dean said that he has been
staying behind the scenes for many years and that his family has lived
in constant fear.
"My wife and children
have gone through hell. The life of a government undercover agent
isn't the glorified one as depicted on television and in the movies.
"Now, however, I have
decided to bring out the truth regardless of the price. I can't keep
living with this horrible burden on my conscious. It haunts me day
and night," the former agent said.
Dean said many persons
will ask why he waited so long to reveal the facts about the Kennedy
assassination which occurred almost 12 years ago.
"The truth of the
matter is. I told my superiors about this plot when I first learned
of the details, but they ignored it," Dean added.
The former agent said all
the articles printed in recent weeks about the CIA and the Mafia masterminding
the Kennedy murder are like the "Mother Goose and Little Red
Riding Hood" stories . . entertaining, but not factual.
"The news media has
been playing right into the hands of the real Kennedy killers by creating
a smoke screen which continues to hide them from justice," Dean
said...
"If the assassins
had attempted to shoot Mr. Kennedy at the Trade Mart, they would either
have been killed or captured because the whole area was crawling with
federal officers who were heavily armed. Lee Harvey Oswald, working
as a federal security agent, had performed his job well," Dean
said.
