All three could have but having read "The Devils Chessboard", Dulles with his long experience and expertise of assassinations for the C I A and it's predecessor organisations in Europe, is my pick of those three. However according to that research, he would not have acted unless he got the go ahead from higher up.I've always been interested in who gave the actual order (the 'go' order) to kill Kennedy
My Top 3 are:
1. James Angleton (head of CIA assassinations Unit)
2. Alan Dulles (Former head of CIA sacked by Kennedy, member of Warren Commission)
3. Richard Helmes (Assassin Planner CIA....later Director General CIA)
The guy that JFK was forced to offer VP to, on the day he was gong to announce another person, after FBI threatened photos of his marital cheating would be made public.
The guy that according to FOIA documents on his travel, retired to his ranch in Texas for 6 weeks before, except for a quick trip to Europe on Air force 2 and hosted a variety of visitors.
Famously reported by his mistress at the time after a meeting the night before at the home of Texas oil tycoon Clint Murchison to have told her, “Darling, after tomorrow those SOB Kennedy’s are never gonna embarrass me again. That’s not a threat, that’s a promise!” She claims he repeated a nearly identical statement to her in a phone call the next morning. A month after the assassination she confronted him about the murder. He told her the real people behind it were her fat cat Texas oil friends and “those spooks” in Washington.
There were more supporting players from the military that hated Kennedy for not supporting the Bay of Pigs invasion by running bombing missions into Cuba, negotiating with Khrushchev on mutual removal of missiles from Cuba (Russia) and Turkey (US) and having signed an Article to remove US "observer troops" in Vietnam, reversed within 48 hours by LBJ.
Mj. Gen. Edwin Walker was was relieved of his command in 1961 for vote influencing of his troops absentee ballots, previously claiming the Government was infiltrated by communists and who RFK committed to a mental asylum for 90 days for promoting riots against a university for enrolling a back student. Was released in 5 days after an outcry supporting him. Had many loyal expert marksman for his previous commands loyal to him and strangely was in Dallas at the time and claimed (backed up by Warren report), Oswald shot at him through his window.
Gen Curtis "Bombs away" LeMay, Chief of staff USAF. Clashed again with JFK when in 1961, he refused to support the Bay of Pigs invasion by bombing Cuba and again in 1962 arguing that he should be allowed to bomb nuclear missile sites in Cuba, even after missiles were removed.
LeMay advocated a sustained strategic bombing campaign against North Vietnamese cities, harbors, ports, shipping, and other strategic targets and quoted in his autobiography "they've got to draw in their horns and stop their aggression, or we're going to bomb them back into the Stone Age. And we would shove them back into the Stone Age with Air power or Naval power—not with ground forces"
