Suspicious Deaths

In an attempt to obtain a more lenient sentence, Roselli provided information in court about his role in helping the CIA with ZR/RIFLE. The judge was not impressed and he was sent to McNeal Island prison. His good friend Fred Black intervened and used his powerful political connections to get transferred to a less harsh prison. Roselli was eventually released in 1973. In 1975 Frank Church and his Select Committee on Intelligence Activities interviewed Roselli about his relationship with the secret services. Roselli also claimed that a CIA hit team that had been dispatched to Cuba had been "turned" and used to kill Kennedy. The following year the SCIA decided to recall Roselli. Soon afterwards Fred Black called him and warned him that Santos Trafficante had taken out a contract on his life and that the "Cubans were after him". In July 1976, Roselli left home in Florida to play golf. He never arrived at the golf course and ten days later his body was found floating in an oil drum in Miami's Dumfoundling Bay. He had been garroted. Roselli's legs had been sawed off and squashed into the drum with the rest of his body.

Along the way, the three would stop at the silver slipper lounge, where after an altercation with the men, Rose would be roughed up and kickout out, where she stumbled onto the road, being struck by motorist Frank Odem, who would end up taking her to the hospital. Lt. Francis Fruge was called to to inspect the situation at the hospital where rose was being held. Rose would be temporally held in a ail cell due to her inebriated state, before being moved to the Jackson State hospital. This is the same hospital where Oswald's aunt Pearl Claverie was sent when the went crazy; the same hospital where Jack Martin had been hospitalized for extreme exposure to LSD; and the same hospital which ties into the Oswald-Clinton incident. During the trip to Jackson, Rose allegedly stated to Fuge, "we're gonna kill president Kennedy when we comes to Dallas in a few days" (Interview of Francis Fuge, HSCA Interview by Robert Buras, April 7, 1978, theblackvault.com) This was also repeated at the Jackson Hospital, which was heard by resident physician, Victor Weiss. HSCA, Volume X pgs. 199-204. According to Fuge, Rose was en route to to Houston, where a room had been reserved for her. There she would meat a seaman who would give her ten kilos of heroin to take to Dallas in exchange for the release of her kidnapped son.

Coincidentally, despite the presence of the notes, Ferrie's autopsy concluded that there was no evidence of suicide or murder and that Ferrie died of a massive cerebral hemorrhage due to a congenital intracranial berry aneurysm that had ruptured at the base of his brain. Garrison's aide, Lou Ivon, stated that Ferrie telephoned him the day after the story of Garrison's investigation broke and told him: "You know what this news story does to me, don't you.

Carr would survive two separate murder attempts wherein he would kill one of his attackers. He told the FBI he saw a man in a light had with a rifle on the 5th floor, then later saw him going down Houston St. to the corner of commerce. (testimony of Richard Randolph Carr, trial of Clay Shaw, February 19, 1969, history-matterss.com)

Jean Hill - Witness Jean Hill told police that the heard around six shots from the picket fence.
According to her autobiography, warren Commission assistant counsel Arlen Specter attempted to humiliate, discredit, and intimidate Hill into changing her story. Hill also testifies that she was abused by Secret Service agents, harassed by the FBI, and received death threats (The Last Dissenting Witness- Bill Sloan)
Joe Molina - Joe Molina was "intimidated by authorities and lost his job soon after the assassination", and that witness Ed Hoffman was warned by an FBI agent that he "might get killed" if he revealed what he observed in Dealey Plaza on the day of the assassination.

Narrative Control
Orville Nix film Cropped - The film presented by Orville Nix in 1972 was intentionally cropped, as to exclude the area of the pergola revealing a shooter.
Controlled Opposition - Journalist Joe Trento revealed in the Sunday news journal, that in the 70s Angleton leaked a secret memo he had written himself about the presence of CIA agent E Howard Hunt in Dallas on the day of the assassination. (𓃠) Although Hunt was involved, this steered thought away from Israel and further towards the CIA.
HSCA - Robert Tanenbaum, the original deputy chief counsel for the House Select Committee on Assassinations, who helped clarify what was told and not told to the public, quit the committee because he felt they weren't conducting a real search for truth.
Oliver Stone's JFK - Knol shooter, Jack Valenti would refer to Oliver Stone's JFK as a smear, despite the fact that he was one of its producers. The executive producer and chief financier of 1991's JFK was Arnon Milchan. In 2013 Arnon Milchan was revealed to be an Israeli spy and weapons smuggler, who illegally shipped US nuclear Krytron Triggers to Israel with the help of Benjamin Netanyahu. Consequently, the film centers on the CIA, but makes no mention of any Israeli involvement.
Trump's JFK Files Release - The documents released by Trump are only those brought before the review board of the HSCA in 1976. One of those documents states: "the CIA has no objection to declassification and/or release of information (EXCEPT BRACKETS)" In brackets are "[the Israeli intelligence Service]"
