As the explosive revelation
of E. Howard Hunt's deathbed confession, in which the former
CIA agent and Watergate conspirator admits that he was part
of a CIA conspiracy to assassinate JFK, continues to rage
across the Internet, the establishment media remains almost
mute on what is undoubtedly one of the biggest stories of
the decade.
Saint John Hunt, E. Howard Hunt's oldest son, joined Alex
Jones yesterday to drop new bombshells about his father's
story.
Hunt was first made aware of what his father knew about
the events of November 22nd 1963 when he came into receipt
of hand-written memos that outlined the birth of the plot
to kill JFK in Miami where it was discussed that a coup
needed to take place in order to topple Kennedy and save
the CIA from being splintered into a thousand pieces, as
JFK had promised.
Saint John then opened his mailbox one January morning in
2004 to discover an unlabeled cassette tape on which his
father details the identity of the individuals that were
involved in the actual assassination of JFK.
E. Howard Hunt names numerous individuals with both direct
and indirect CIA connections as having played a role in
the assassination of Kennedy, while describing himself as
a "bench warmer" in the plot. Saint John Hunt
agreed that the use of this term indicates that Hunt was
willing to play a larger role in the murder conspiracy had
he been required, but was primarily used in an oversight
role.
Hunt alleges on the tape that then Vice President Lyndon
B. Johnson was involved in the planning of the assassination
and in the cover-up, stating that LBJ, "Had an almost
maniacal urge to become president, he regarded JFK as an
obstacle to achieving that."
In the Alex Jones Show interview, Hunt reveals how Kevin
Costner, star of the JFK movie, had shared a mutual friend
with E. Howard Hunt and had subsequently visited Hunt in
Miami in the interests of producing a documentary film based
on Hunt's knowledge of the plot.
"Kevin Costner flies down and is introduced to my father
by this mutual friend and Kevin just blurted out, 'so who
killed JFK'? My father's jaw dropped and he turned around
and looked at his wife and said, 'what did he say'?"
"So the whole thing just kind of blew up in its face
and that was the end of that," said Hunt.
Hunt said that Costner had become "somewhat of a conspiracy
enthusiast" after having made the JFK movie and was
very interested in starting a project based on E. Howard
Hunt's revelations.
"What my father devised was a code and a key to give
Mr. Costner the relevant information without naming the
names," said Hunt, "He listed out a chain of command
and a timeline series of events and things that took place
along with the most important players in the plot."
Costner considered the information to be "dynamite
stuff," but elements of the "Miami mafia"
derailed the project and the documentary never got off the
ground.
Saint John Hunt also revealed for the first time that E.
Howard Hunt thought that the Chicago plane crash that killed
his wife in 1972 was not an accident. Investigators discovered
at least $10,000 dollars in Dorothy Hunt's luggage, money
that Saint John Hunt alleges was Nixon campaign funds used
to payoff the families of the Watergate burglars to keep
them quiet about the involvement of the Nixon White House
in the Watergate break-in and cover-up.
"Later on in his life at one of these bedside confessions....tears
started welling up in his eyes and he said, 'you know Saint
I was so deeply concerned that what they did to your mother
they could have done to you children' and that caused the
hair on my neck to stand up - that was the first disclosure
from my father that he thought there was something else
going on besides sheer pilot error," said Hunt.
Eyewitnesses reported that the plane exploded above treetop
level before it had even hit the runway.
Hunt said that "at least 20-25 FBI members," as
well as numerous DIA agents were at the scene of the crash
within minutes before rescue personnel had even arrived,
and that this fact was attested to in a letter sent by the
head of the Chicago FBI to investigator Sherman Skolnick
Hunt cited numerous
coincidences surrounding the aftermath of the crash, including
Nixon's appointment of his henchman, Egil Krough, to the
National Transportation Safety Board which investigates
plane crashes, the very day after the incident.
When asked about the photos of the "three tramps"
that were arrested on the scene of the JFK murder but were
later ordered released, Hunt agreed that they likely showed
his father and the two other key conspirators.
"As my father's son, every time I look at that comparison
photo between the tramps and my father - it looks like my
father to me," said Hunt.
Hunt also said that he was reasonably confident that one
of the other tramps was CIA operative Frank Sturgis, who
his father had also named as a key member of the murder
plot.
Hunt said that his
father was not one of the shooters but was more of a manager
of the plot on a command level, but was later "hung
out to dry" by the CIA and the government.
Asked why Hunt became a willing conspirator in the plot
to murder JFK, Hunt responded,"Within intelligence
circles, he felt that it was an imperative situation that
President Kennedy not be allowed to serve in that office
for any longer because there was a lot of crucial things
coming down, there was the Vietnam war, there was also the
anger and the threats Kennedy had made to splinter the CIA
into a thousand pieces."
Hunt also said that his father eventually desired to become
the director of the CIA and Kennedy was a direct obstacle
to that goal.
Hunt concluded by agreeing that his father's legacy was
that of a patriotic American who was manipulated and twisted
by people like LBJ and Nixon, later to be deserted and have
his family torn apart by these same criminals.
E. Howard Hunt finally redeemed himself shortly before his
death by blowing the whistle on the JFK murder plot, but
now there is a fresh attempt to bury this information on
behalf of the compromised and cowardly establishment media,
who have afforded this bombshell story almost no attention
at all while lavishly devoting coverage to the mindlessness
of Britney Spears' comeback and radio host Don Imus' off-hand
comments.
Once again the responsibility lies with alternative media
and the Internet to make sure E. Howard Hunt's story is
heard.
