The John F. Kennedy assassination did not occur so the U.S. military could take over Cuba or initiate a global war with the Soviet Union. On the contrary, the conspirators killed JFK to prevent that from happening. The intent was to protect Europe from a potential Soviet invasion and to transfer the focus of America's military from Cuba to Southeast Asia, where the Pentagon was anxious to engage Communists militarily.Last Resort Beyond Last Resort is the first book to make this claim. The facts support this thesis and provide answers to questions that have confounded researchers for decades. It is an essential read for anyone searching for the truth behind the greatest crime of the 20th Century. It presents a fresh and rational explanation for why the conspirators had no alternative but to assassinate President Kennedy.
For years, I believed that a domestic coup d'etat assassinated JFK to unleash a military that was chomping at the bit to flex its muscles against a Communist world that could not match America's firepower. Still, there was one thing I could never reconcile in my mind. Why, in the immediate aftermath of the assassination, didn't the United States say Lee Harvey Oswald was working on behalf of Castro and use that as justification to invade Cuba? Oswald had defected to the Soviet Union and was a vocal Castro supporter. A photograph taken of him in the spring of 1963 showed him dressed all in black, holding his rifle and copies of a Communist and Socialist newspaper. He was a member of the pro-Castro Fair Play for Cuba Committee, was arrested in New Orleans for a pro-Castro street demonstration, appeared in a radio debate supporting Castro, and allegedly tried to shoot right-wing General Edwin Walker. Two months before the assassination, he had tried to enter Cuba via Mexico City and, while there, met at the Soviet Embassy with Valery Kostikov, a KGB assassin. Two days after the JFK assassination, the CIA learned that Kostikov had also met with Rolando Cubela, a Cuban close to Castro. On the day of the assassination, Cubela was meeting with the CIA's Desmond Fitzgerald in Paris to discuss assassinating Castro.
Meanwhile, a letter written by Oswald after he returned to Dallas referred to his meeting with Kostikov and that he had used a false identity while in Mexico. This alarmed many after it was learned that the Oswald killed in Dallas was 5’-9", while the Oswald who had defected to the Soviet Union years before was 5’-11". It was a frightening scenario, especially since on September 7th, 1963, Castro said that "United States leaders would be in danger if they helped in any attempt to do away with the leaders of Cuba…they themselves will not be safe."
The U.S. military was primed and ready. All they needed was approval from the White House, and they would have responded with a shock and awe operation the world had not seen since the Korean War. Instead, nothing happened.
The motivation behind the assassination began early in 1963 when Robert Kennedy was placed in charge of the Omega Plan/ AMWORLD operation to mount a second invasion of Cuba in December of that year that included left-wing Cuban exiles and the U.S. military. It was irresponsible and reckless to give the Attorney General such responsibility, and was the last straw for many who opposed the Kennedy brothers. Bobby was not qualified to head such an operation, and the fact that politics was the motivating factor behind it made it that much worse. It would eventually lead to a collaboration of right-wing leaders at the CIA, including Allen Dulles, James Angleton, William Harvey, Henry Hecksher, and Frank Wisner, ex-Nazi Otto Skorzeny and his Fascist group headquartered in Madrid, French OSS officers, intelligence operatives such as Jean Pierre Laffite, and a host of others to assassinate JFK and prevent AMWORLD from happening.
At the center of it all was Lee Harvey Oswald, the designated patsy, whose right-wing political philosophy coincided with what these right-wing European Monarchists and their American supporters believed.
