Professor Danny Sheehan on Felix Rodriguez's Role in The Paramilitary Team that Assassinated JFK

Professor Danny Sheehan on Felix Rodriguez's Role in The Paramilitary Team that Assassinated JFK - Summary:

- 0:00-1:42 - Sheehan explains Watergate burglary's true purpose: Nixon feared Larry O'Brien (Democratic National Committee head, former Howard Hughes lobbyist) might reveal that Nixon created assassination team that killed JFK; Nixon set up team to kill Castro/Che Guevara through Howard Hughes, but "that same unit killed the president in '63"

- 1:42-3:23 - Sheehan recounts investigator interviews with Santos Trafficante revealing details: May 1960, after Nelson Rockefeller withdrew from Republican primary, Nixon (certain to win nomination as VP under Eisenhower) contacted Howard Hughes to set up assassination team targeting Fidel Castro, Raul Castro, and five comandantes

- 3:23-5:30 - Howard Hughes was secret consultant to National Security Council, designed Glomar Explorer (submarine recovery ship) and C5A cargo plane; Nixon chaired 5412 Committee (NSC covert operations subcommittee); Nixon told Hughes to keep operation "completely away from White House" with promise of future favors when he became president

- 5:30-7:14 - Hughes assigned lawyer Bob Maheu who contacted Johnny Roselli (mob bagman at Sands Hotel in Las Vegas); Roselli had to clear with Sam Giancana in Chicago; Giancana said it was "Trafficante's territory" as former "don of Havana," requiring his approval

- 7:14-8:42 - Two meetings held at Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami with Giancana, Roselli, Maheu, and Trafficante; Trafficante said "I didn't fall off no melon wagon" and demanded verification it came directly from Nixon; third meeting sent Sheffield Edwards (CIA Chief of Security under Eisenhower/Nixon) using name "Mr. Ed" to give green light

- 8:42-10:00 - Trafficante selected 15 former shooters from Havana who had been recruited by CIA for "Operation 40" (guerrilla raids into Cuba - burning sugar fields, blowing up bridges); these were anti-Castro Cuban refugees in Tampa and Miami from the 2506 Brigade

- 10:00-10:59 - Danny Jones mentions interviewing Felix Rodriguez next day; Sheehan responds: "That's who he is" - Rodriguez was "one of the guys on the team that killed the president" along with Rafael "Chichi" Quintero; describes Rodriguez as "cold blooded fucking killer" who ran Contra weapons operations at Ilopango

- 12:34-14:42 - Trafficante took 15 guys (all shooters from Havana, all recruited for Operation 40) and spread them across five paramilitary bases: Swan Island, No Name Key, Everglades, and two at Lake Pontchartrain; northern Lake Pontchartrain base is where Lee Harvey Oswald was working with New Orleans group

- 14:42-16:30 - Team flown individually by private planes to Fort Huachuca Arizona, then taken to Clint Murchison Junior's ranch in Wahaca, Mexico for training by Carl Jenkins in "triangular fire team" tactics (three rifles in crossfire to hit moving target); code name was "S-Force"

- 16:30-18:44 - Funding mechanism: skimmed cash from Las Vegas casinos, put in new suitcases in trunks of new Cadillacs, driven through New Orleans (audited by Marcello's people) to Meyer Lansky's National Bank of Miami, then wired to Banco Internacional in Mexico City (lawyer Valgarrio's account) - same account where money found in Watergate burglar Bernard Barker's pocket originated

- 18:44-19:57 - Nixon didn't win 1960 election - Kennedy won but was never briefed on S-Force existence; when Watergate break-in happened, Mark Felt (FBI) was about to trace money to Mexico City bank; Pat Gray warned Nixon through John Dean, leading to Nixon's "smoking gun" conversation ordering CIA to stop FBI investigation

- 19:57-21:58 - Nixon's "smoking gun tape": told chief of staff to contact Dick Helms and Vernon Walters at CIA, tell FBI to "get the hell out of that part of investigation" or "all the Mexico stuff is going to come out about the Bay of Pigs guys"; Watergate burglars included Frank Sturgis and E. Howard Hunt who were CIA liaisons to Cuban groups and S-Force assassination team

- 21:58-24:54 - Real trigger wasn't Bay of Pigs but Cuban Missile Crisis (October 1962): Khrushchev and Kennedy "so traumatized" by near nuclear war they began secret communications exchanging 18 letters through Norman Cousins, discussing "disassembling nuclear warheads of entire nuclear arsenal of United States and Russia"

- 24:54-27:17 - After Bay of Pigs, Kennedy apologized and promised Khrushchev to shut down Operation 40 bases; instead transformed it into "Operation Mongoose/JM Wave" and continued raids; when Khrushchev discovered Kennedy lied, he sent missiles to Cuba; Kennedy later ordered bases shut down for real during missile crisis, but Frank Sturgis launched attack sinking Russian ship in Havana harbor

- 27:17-29:08 - Bobby and John Kennedy sent six helicopter gunships with US Marshals, burned out Swan Island base, arrested Frank Sturgis and others, charged with neutrality act violations, released after three days as "shot across the bow"; E. Howard Hunt in Everglades planned second attack in defiance - Kennedys burned out that base too and arrested everyone

- 29:08-31:56 - June 5, 1963: Walter Sullivan told Bobby Kennedy about assassination team; Kennedy ordered stand down; team made one last attempt June 13-19, 1963 to kill Castro - Dick Billings (Life magazine Miami bureau chief) was on boat to photograph assassination; same day Kennedy demanded all CIA UFO information to share with Khrushchev as "show of good faith" for joint US-Soviet space program

- 31:56-34:51 - References John Newman (JFK researcher): Daily Plaza is "water cooler distraction"; real story is Joint Chiefs (Lemnitzer, Maxwell Taylor, Curtis LeMay) who were "almost completely out from under control of Kennedy" and had plan for "total nuclear annihilation of Soviets and China" when US had most nukes and USSR had least

- 34:51-37:17 - June 13-15, 1963 weekend on William D. Pawley's boat "Flying Tiger 2": Johnny Martino raging about Kennedys breaking promises; William D. Pawley (owned Cuban sugar mills and bus lines) told Martino in presence of Dick Billings, RIP Robertson (S-Force field commander), and others: "Don't worry Johnny, we're going to kill that motherfucker"

- 37:17-40:51 - Allen Dulles was key figure not because fired as CIA head but because he was general counsel for Brown Brothers Harriman; explains Brown Brothers Harriman was investment group of 20 richest families (robber barons: Carnegies, Rockefellers, Harrimans) who owned rail lines, steel mills, agribusiness; CEO was George Herbert Walker (maternal grandfather of George H.W. Bush, great-grandfather of George W. Bush)

- 40:51-42:47 - Brown Brothers Harriman financed rise of Third Reich through Union Bank of New York and Bank of Shipping and Commerce in Netherlands to make Germany "bulwark against Bolshevism in Europe"; when Kennedy talked about disassembling nuclear warheads with Khrushchev, "totally freaked them out" because they needed nuclear weapons against China, not Russia - China could field "billion men in uniform"

- 42:47-44:21 - After JFK killed, CIA "rolled right into place" covering up, destroying evidence, lying because "terrified they'd be blamed"; Nixon terrified he'd be blamed; LBJ told Earl Warren to head commission but "do not reveal" assassination team existed to kill Castro or people would think "Castro found out and killed Kennedy" leading to "World War 3"; put Allen Dulles on Warren Commission to "keep it locked down"

- 44:21-44:99 - Jones asks if Felix Rodriguez was part of team that killed Kennedy; Sheehan: "Yes, he was... in the S-Force, there in Dealey Plaza" along with Ed Lansdale and RIP Robertson; evidence: Rafael "Chichi" Quintero told them; "David Morales, the Indian, was the guy that pulled the trigger that killed him from the Knoll"; when deposed, Felix Rodriguez "wouldn't talk about it" and took Fifth Amendment
