Did Cuba pay Lee Harvey Oswald to assasinate John F.
Kennedy? That's the driving theory behind a new documentary from award-winning German filmmaker Wilfried Huismann. Rendezvous with Death is the
result of a three-year investigation, through which Huismann interviewed
with former Cuban secret agents, U.S. officials and a Russian intelligence source, and also delved into Mexican
security archives. The film alleges that in 1963, Oswald made a journey
to Mexico City, where he was paid $6,500 by agents at the Cuban embassy.
The film apparently revolves around the damning testimony of a former Cuban secret agent, who claims that Oswald was a
"dissdent" who would do anything to harm the United States. "He was so full of hate, he had the idea. We used him ... He was a tool." The Cuban
government, the film postulates, wanted to get rid of Kennedy to clear the path for the assendancy of Castro and the
Communist Revolution. Whether the country had a hand in Kennedy's death or not, that goal was claerly met: in the
documentary, a former CIA official tells Huismann, "[Castro] beat us. He bested us. He came out on top, and we lost."The film was shown to reporters in Berlin yesterday; there's no word yet on when it'll be made more widely available, but as I'm total conspiracy theory nerd, I'll let you know the minute I hear anything.

Another one was Marvin Kittman's the TV critic. The telescope on the assassination rifle was cited in, according to his statements from the Marines who range-fired the weapon, was that it was focused on Jackie Kennedy, whom Marina Oswald (from Russia with love) was obsessed with (or someone else). He wrote it in "Newsday" formerly edited by Isaac Asimov's brother. Or someone else. Perhaps the scope was deliberately tampered with? I don't know another one of those theories.

All in all in 2006 I don't believe that we will ever know the full truth behind the Kennedy assassination. My personal viewpoint is the LBJ was in on it somehow. He never wanted to be VP and the Democratic Party convinced him to run with Kennedy so together they could beat Nixon. LBJ was a dirty player as records recently revealed have shown.

Hay people comeon no one is ever going to give up that info, thats like saying our own government did it and tryed to blame it on someone else, hummmmm could that happen. Is that why we have our hands in other countrys, why other countrys do there business with us. Money is the true power, fine out what was going on under the news wire. Fine out what really was going on in the world and you will know why K was killed. What was really going on to draw us away, from the truth, the same for 911....

My opion is that Oswall did NOT act alone. There were other shooters as has been conclusively proven from the angle of the shots, ie the "grassy knoll". I moved to Texas several months after the assination, and had the opportunity to talk with several people who knew Johnson and of his antics. He was more than capable of being involved in killing Kennedy. I also talked with a man who was involved with the Louisiana DA who had some information that he was processing. Unbelievably, he along with EVERYONE who had anything to do with the assination or investigation...died within a short time afterward. We may never know the truth...but Oswall definately did not act alone!

Quoted in Rule by Secrecy - the wife of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald in 1994 told author A.J. Weberman, "The answer to the Kennedy assassination is with the Federal Reserve Bank. Don't underestimate that. It's wrong to blame it on [CIA official James] Angleton and the CIA per se only. This is only one finger of the same hand. The people who supply the money are above the CIA." Remember that Wall Street and some some VERY powerful businessmen had a deep animosity toward Kennedy and his economic policies and proposals. "In June of 1963 Kennedy took the ultimate step against the Fed by authorizing the issuance of more than $4 billion in "United States Notes" through the U.S. Treasury, not the Federal Reserve." 'Kennedy apparently reasoned that by returning to the Constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest, " noted one conspiracy author. Also don't forget that Kennedy was about to reduce troops in Southeast Asia with the hope of complete withdrawal. LBJ and cronies did not like this!!
