John F. Kennedy assassination

Postby DrDebugDU » Wed Jul 13, 2005 12:56 pm

Maybe some people will remember me from DU. I've trying to sort somethings out and kept on returning to the JFK assassination. Since DU moves very fast, I thought that this would be a better place to put the story. (Seemslikeadream told me about this place).<br><br>Even the John F. Kennedy assassination is nothing more than an event in a long chain of terror attacks on people, buildings, presidents, but it is one of the most significant ones in history (1).<br><br>The reason why it stands out is, because it affected the American people most directly. It was the first time in recent history that a successful coup d'etat was being carried out as a means to divert the future into the future which some people preferred.<br><br>This story will be split in several subtopics in order to make it legible. It's a very long story... The story which I present here is different from most textbooks and contains information from declassified sources which are in generally ignored by the Corporate Media (the last chapter which deal will that subject)<br><br>This cartoon is still the greatest summary I could find and it can be used as a working model. The story will be split into some history and the events leading upto November 22nd and a little bit of the aftermath.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://xs33.xs.to/pics/05243/white2.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>The short story is that Lyndon B.

Operation 40

Postby DrDebugDU » Wed Jul 13, 2005 12:57 pm

On 11th December (1959), Colonel J. C. King, chief of CIA's Western Hemisphere Division, sent a confidential memorandum to Allen W. Dulles, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency. King argued that in Cuba there existed a "far-left dictatorship, which if allowed to remain will encourage similar actions against U.S. holdings in other Latin American countries."<br><br>As a result of this memorandum Dulles established Operation 40. It obtained this name because originally there were 40 agents involved in the operation. Later this was expanded to 70 agents. The group was presided over by Richard Nixon. Tracy Barnes became operating officer of what was also called the Cuban Task Force. The first meeting chaired by Barnes took place in his office on 18th January, 1960, and was attended by David Atlee Phillips, E. Howard Hunt, Jack Esterline, and Frank Bender.<br><br>On 4th March, 1960, ''La Coubre'', a ship flying a Belgian flag, exploded in Havana Bay. (See also: U.S.S. Maine (1) ) It was loaded with arms and ammunition that had been sent to help defend Cuba's revolution from its enemies. The explosion killed 75 people and over 200 were injured. Fabian Escalante, an officer of the Department of State Security (G-2), later claimed that this was the first successful act carried out by Operation 40.

Bay of Pigs

Postby DrDebugDU » Wed Jul 13, 2005 1:04 pm

On March 17, 1960, President Dwight Eisenhower agreed to start a program to overthrow the Cuban Government. Run by the CIA, this program would train, arm, and recruit Cuban exiles to participate in an invasion of Cuba. (1) The planning was performed under the direction of Allen W. Dulles, and his deputy, Richard Bissell, with the knowledge and approval of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. John F. Kennedy agreed, for security reasons, that the fewer new faces in the government brought into the discussions, the better kept the secret would be. (2)<br><br>The Cuban-exiles later known as Brigade 2506 were first training in JM WAVE, Florida. The CIA decided that it was important to get foreign bases out of sight of the US public opinion. Guatemala where a puppet regime was installed after the 1954 CIA organized coup (Operation PBSUCCESS (3a, 3b) ), popped up on the maps quickly. (4) , For several months the brigade of 1400 anti-Castro Cubans was trained in La Democracia, Huehuetenango, a plantation in Guatemala donated by Roberto Alejos (5). The base codenamed JM-TRAX was intended to train 20 radio operators. Later facilities for 1400 trainees were built and a $1,8 million airfield was established for the supplies send from Opa- Locka in Florida. The government of Guatemala however was getting worried about some many armed foreigners in its country and asked for the Cubans to be removed by the end of April.<br><br>The story also leaked to the New York Times which reported on April 7, 1961 that 5,000 to 6,000 men were recruited to liberate Cuba and that their training was done in Florida (JM WAVE), Louisiana (??) and Guatemala was almost complete.<br><br>CIA liaison officer L. Fletcher Prouty delivered three ships to a CIA agent named George H.W. Bush. (6a / 6b). The boats used in the invasion were named ''Río Escondido'', ''Houston'' and ''Barbara.'' (7). The operation was code- named "Operation Zapata". The brigade was moved to embarkation point at Puerto Cabeza, Nicaragua. ( 8 ) Some people have referred to the operation as Operation Pluto, however the Cubans and the CIA never used that name (11) and the operation was known as Zapata (9).<br><br>On April 17, 1961, the invasion was carried by 1500 Cuban exiles known as Brigade 2506. The intent of the attack was to take a beachhead at Bahia de Cochinos (Bay of Pigs), establish a government, and gain U.S. recognition. As the invaders began to leave their boats, the Cuban air force attacked. They sunk the ''Houston'' and the ''Río Escondido'', cutting off supplies for the invaders. Kennedy was asked for permission to use the U.S. Air Force to destroy the Cuban army's planes. Kennedy only permitted them to give cover to planes flown by exiles, which arrived before the U.S. navy planes, and were consequently shot down. Exact details on the number of dead and captured differ. According to the Museum of Playa Girón, 1,197 exiles were captured. (10)<br><br>Operation Zapata was a failure and became known as the "Bay of Pigs" invasion.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Sources and notes</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>(1) <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.cuba-junky.com/cuba/pigs-bay.html">www.cuba-junky.com/cuba/pigs-bay.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>(2) <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.orwelltoday.com/jfkcubabaypigs.shtml">www.orwelltoday.com/jfkcubabaypigs.shtml</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>(3a) <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Operation_PBSUCCESS">demopedia.democraticunder..._PBSUCCESS</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>(3b) <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/NSA112A.html">www.globalresearch.ca/art...A112A.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>(4) <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.urrib2000.narod.ru/ArticGiron2.html">www.urrib2000.narod.ru/ArticGiron2.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>(5) <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.american-buddha.com/invisiblegov.3.htm">www.american-buddha.com/i...egov.3.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>(6a) <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.sumeria.net/politics/kennedy.html">www.sumeria.net/politics/kennedy.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>(6b) George H.W.

After the Bay of Pigs failure

Postby DrDebugDU » Wed Jul 13, 2005 1:06 pm

Shortly after President John F. Kennedy established a commission to investigate the failure and to consider whether the United States should conduct similar covert operations in the future. The commission - chaired by General Maxwell Taylor, Robert Kennedy, Admiral Arleigh Burke and DCI Allen Dulles - produced a highly critical report one of the conclusions was that "the impossibility of running Zapata as a covert operation under CIA should have been recognized" as early as November 1960, five months before the invasion. (1)<br><br>After the Bay of Pigs Kennedy met with Douglas MacArthur. According to Theodore Sorenson, MacArthur told Kennedy, <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>"The chickens are coming home to roost, and you happen to have just moved into the chicken house."</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> (2). At the same meeting MacArthur "warned against the committment of American foot soldiers on the Asian mainland, and the President never forgot this advice." (3)<br><br>The Bays of Pigs also produced an entire new Cuban cadre of CIA operators like E. Howard Hunt, Bernard Barker, Luis Posada Carriles, Frank Sturgis, Rolando Martinez, Chi Chi Quintero and Felix Rodriguez whose names in the next decades would pop over and over again in the most dangerous American foreign policy crises. (4)<br><br>And they were not pleased. E. Howard Hunt (7) includes the following tirade about the Bay of Pigs:<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>No event since the communization of China in 1949 has had such a profound effect on the United States and its allies as the defeat of the US-trained Cuban invasion brigade at the Bay of Pigs in April 1961.<br><br>Out of that humiliation grew the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, guerrilla warfare throughout Latin American and Africa, and our Dominican Republic intervention. Castro's beachhead triumph opened a bottomless Pandora's box of difficulties that affected not only the United States, but most of its allies in the Free World. These bloody and subversive events would not have taken place had Castro been toppled. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Instead of standing firm, our government pyramided crucially wrong decisions and allowed Brigade 2506 to be destroyed.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> The Kennedy administration yielded Castro all the excuse he needed to gain a tighter grip on the island of Jose Marti, then moved shamefacedly into the shadows and hoped the Cuban issue would simply melt away.

Operation Mongoose

Postby DrDebugDU » Wed Jul 13, 2005 1:07 pm

The Cuban-exiles and the CIA were not pleased that Fidel Castro was still in power and wanted to relaunch the Operation 40.<br><br>Following the disastrous invasion at Cuba's Bay of Pigs, the Kennedy administration regrouped and initiated a massive new covert action program to trigger Fidel Castro's overthrow. Operation Mongoose, as the effort was called, was launched in late 1961 and placed under the command of Brig. Gen. Edward Lansdale, an Air Force officer. (1)<br><br>In September 1960, Allen W. Dulles, the director of the CIA, initiated talks with two leading figures of the Mafia, Johnny Roselli (9) and Sam Giancana. (2)<br><br>The headquarters was JM WAVE in Miami - truly a state within a city - over, above, and outside the laws of the United States, with a staff of several hundred Americans directing many more Cuban agents in just such types of actions, with a budget in excess of $50 million (3) a year, and an arrangement with the local press to keep operations in Florida secret except when the CIA wanted something publicized. (4) (See also: Operation Mockingbird)<br><br>In November 1961 William Harvey was ordered to activate an assassination plot against Fidel Castro. This became part of what became known as the ZR/RIFLE project. Harvey decided to transfer David Sanchez Morales from Mexico City to the JM WAVE station. Johnny Roselli was also recruited into the project.<br><br>Roselli persuaded Santos Trafficante, the senior Mafia figure in Cuba, to join the conspiracy. Meyer Lansky also became involved in this plot and was reportedly offering a million-dollar reward for the Cuban leader's murder. Richard Cain, a specialist in electronics and wire taps, was also recruited by Roselli. Cain took part in a failed attempt in March 1961 to poison Castro.<br><br>On 12th March, 1961, William Harvey arranged for Jim O'Connell, to meet Sam Giancana, Santo Trafficante, Johnny Roselli and Robert Maheu at the Fontainebleau Hotel. During the meeting O'Connell gave poison pills and $10,000 to Rosselli to be used against Fidel Castro. As Richard D. Mahoney points out: (5)<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>"Late one evening, probably March 13, Rosselli passed the poison pills and the money to a small, reddish- haired Afro-Cuban by the name of Rafael "Macho" Gener in the Boom Boom Room, a location Giancana thought "stupid." Rosselli's purpose, however, was not just to assassinate Castro but to set up the Mafia's partner in crime, the United States government. Accordingly, he was laying a long, bright trail of evidence that unmistakably implicated the CIA in the Castro plot. This evidence, whose purpose was blackmail, would prove critical in the CIA's cover-up of the Kennedy assassination." (6)<br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>In 1962 Theodore Shackley was appointed by William Harvey as deputy chief of JM WAVE. In April, 1962, Shackley was involved in delivering supplies to Johnny Roselli as part of the plan to assassinate Fidel Castro. Later that year he became head of the station that served as operational headquarters for Operation Mongoose. He was also responsible for gathering intelligence and recruiting spies in Cuba. (7)<br><br>The following plots were considered:<br>* Inject an untraceable poison, botulinum toxin, into selections of Castro's favorite brand of cigars and present the poisoned cigars to him<br>* Compress the poison into pill form and dissolve it into a drink for Castro<br>* Create a booby-trapped seashell that would explode if removed from the ocean floor by Castro, who was an avid diver<br>* Devise a wet suit with a breathing apparatus infected with deadly germs and present it to Castro as a gift<br>* Equip a fountain pen with a hidden needle capable of injecting a lethal toxin and persuade Castro to write with it<br>* Assassinate him with a high-powered rifle with telescopic sights ( 8 )<br><br>All plots of Operation Mongoose failed, but it implied that not only the CIA and the Cuban-exiles were frustrated, the Mafia had joined the ranks of displeased John F.

Operation Northwoods

Postby DrDebugDU » Wed Jul 13, 2005 1:09 pm

Operation Northwoods is declassified operation to justify the invasion of Cuba. As a method of justification it discusses the use of staging terror like hijacking airplanes and then blaming Cuba for the terrorist attacks. (3)<br><br>Possible scenarios included:<br>* Hijack planes<br>* Fake a Cuban airforce attack on a civilian jetliner<br>* Shoot people in sniper attacks<br>* Blow up a ship<br>* Blow up John Glenn's space capsule<br>* Attack military bases<br><br>Allen W.

Aftermath of the Cuba operations

Postby DrDebugDU » Wed Jul 13, 2005 1:10 pm

In order to run these operations from U.S. territory, flagrant and extensive violation of federal and state laws was the order of the day. Documents regarding the incorporation of businesses were falsified. Income tax returns were faked. FAA regulations were violated by planes taking off for Cuba or for forward bases in the Bahamas and elsewhere. Explosives moved across highways that were full of civilian traffic. The Munitions Act, the Neutrality Act, the customs and immigrations laws were routinely flaunted (1).<br><br>Above all, the drug laws were massively violated as the gallant anti-communist fighters filled their planes and boats with illegal narcotics to be smuggled back into the U.S. when they returned from their missions. By 1963, the drug- running activities of the covert operatives were beginning to attract attention. JM/WAVE, in sum, accelerated the slide of South Florida towards the status of drug and murder capital of the United States it achieved during the 1980's, when it became as notorious as Chicago during Prohibition. (2)<br><br>The failed Bay of Pigs Invasion and failed assassination plots utilizing CIA-recruited operatives from the Mafia and anti- Castro Cubans directly against Fidel Castro undermined the CIA's credibility, and pro-American, but unpopular regimes in Iran (See: Operation Ajax (3) ) and Guatemala (See: Operation PBSUCCESS (4)) were widely regarded as brutal and corrupt.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Sources and notes</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->:<br>(1) Warren Hinckle and William W.

<!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://xs33.xs.to/pics/05243/Cuban_missiles.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>In June of 1961 Kennedy attended a summit with Premier Khrushchev in Vienna to discuss cold war confrontations between the east and west, in particular the situation in Berlin. Khrushchev viewed Kennedy as a weak president. Later American missiles were based a mere 150 miles from the Soviet Union, in Turkey which had become a NATO allie. (1) Khrushchev applies pressure to Berlin and eventually builts the Berlin Wall.<br><br>A U-2 flight in late August photographed a new series of SAM sites being constructed, but on September 4 Kennedy told Congress that there were no offensive missiles in Cuba. On the night of September 8, the first consignment of SS- 4 MRBMs was unloaded in Havana, and a second shipload arrived on September 16. The Soviets were building nine sites — six for SS-4s and three for SS-5s with a range of 4,000 km (2,400 statute miles). The planned arsenal was forty launchers, an increase in Soviet first strike capacity of 70%.<br><br>On October 22, 1962, after reviewing newly acquired intelligence, President John F. Kennedy informed the world that the Soviet Union was building secret missile bases in Cuba, a mere 90 miles off the shores of Florida. (2) Kennedy asked for an assessment of damage incurred by a preemptive attack. (3) and decided on demanding that Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchev to remove all the missile bases and their deadly contents and ordered a naval quarantine (blockade) of Cuba in order to prevent Russian ships from bringing additional missiles and construction materials to the island. (4)<br><br>John F. Kennedy was afraid that Premier Khrushchev would authorize his Soviet field commanders in Cuba to launch their tactical nuclear weapons, if invaded by U.S. forces. In hindsight it turned out that Krushchev was bluffing and Trotsnik send an order to Pavlov prohibiting the usage of nuclear weapons without approval from Krushchev. (5) Also Kennedy met with Paul Nitze to make sure that noboby could fire nuclear weapons without approval from Kennedy. (6) During the tension of the next days the United States carried out 3 Nuclear Tests and the Soviet Union carried out 2 Nuclear Tests as well (7).<br><br>Kennedy and Khrushchev start to write letters back and forth in an attempt to settle the dispute by diplomatic means. ( 8 ). These negotiations are successful. Khrushchev concedes to Kennedy's demands by ordering all Soviet supply ships away from Cuban waters and agreeing to remove the missiles from Cuba's mainland.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>After several days of teetering on the brink of nuclear holocaust, the world breathed a sigh of relief.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>In exchange for Khrushchev's commitment to remove the missiles from Cuba, a ''Hot Line'' between Kruschchev and John F.

Galbraith wrote in his memoirs that it was not followed up. (9)<br><br>On March 4, 1963 John F. Kennedy began pursuing a secret dialogue toward an actual rapprochement with Fidel Castro. To a policy built upon "overt and covert nastiness," as Top Secret White House memoranda characterized U.S. operations against Cuba, was added "the sweet approach," meaning the possibility of "quietly enticing Castro over to us." National Security Council officials referred to this multitrack policy as "simil-opting"--the use of disparate methods toward the goal of moving Cuba out of the Soviet orbit. (10)<br><br>On August 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty (11a,b) was signed between the Soviet Union and the United States prohibiting the testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere.<br><br>A lot of people in the U.S. Military and the U.S. Government do not like the result.

Vietnam

Postby DrDebugDU » Wed Jul 13, 2005 1:19 pm

When Kennedy became President he was given conflicting advice on Vietnam. Some, like President Charles De Gaulle of France, warned him that if he was not careful, Vietnam would trap the United States in <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>"a bottomless military and political swamp."</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> However, most of his advisers argued that with a fairly small increase in military aid, the United States could prevent a NLF victory in South Vietnam.<br><br>Kennedy agreed and in 1961 he arranged for the South Vietnamese to receive the money necessary to increase the size of their army from 150,000 to 170,000. He also agreed to send another 100 military advisers to Vietnam to help train the South Vietnamese army. As this decision broke the terms of the Geneva Accords, it was kept from the American public. (1)<br><br>Gradually the number of advisers was increased to 16,700, however many in the military-industrial complex were unhappy with the developments in Cuba and feared that Kennedy would show the same "lack of resolve" with regard to Vietnam and considered the current number of advisors too little.<br><br>At this time, the group proposing escalation in Vietnam (as well as preparing the assassination of President Ngo Dinh Diem) had a heavy Brown Brothers, Harriman (2) / Skull and Bones (3 a-c) overtone: the hawks of 1961-63 were W. Averell Harriman, McGeorge Bundy, William Bundy, Henry Cabot Lodge, and some key London oligarchs and theoreticians of counterinsurgency wars. And of course, <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>George H.W. Bush during these years was calling for escalation in Vietnam and challenging John F.

Kennedy wanting to stop the escalating the Vietnam War and withdrawing troops soon came true. John F. Kennedy issued National Security Action Memorandum 263:<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>At a meeting on October 5, 1963, the President considered the recommendations contained in the report of Secretary Robert McNamara and General Maxwell Taylor on their mission to South Vietnam.<br><br>The President approved the military recommendations contained in Section I B (1-3) of the report, but directed that no formal announcement be made of the implementation of plans to withdraw 1,000 U.S. military personnel by the end of 1963.<br><br>After discussion of the remaining recommendations of the report, the President approved the instruction to Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. which is set forth in State Department telegram No. 534 to Saigon. (5)<br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Kennedy was also attempting some secret negotiations which were still unsuccessful at the time and not followed through, but the Cuban Missiles Crisis had started an era of diplomacy over military strength.<br><br>Kennedy, as shown by his American University speech of 1963, was also interested in seeking a more stable path of war avoidance with the Soviets, using the U.S. military superiority demonstrated to convince Moscow to accept a policy of world peace through economic development. Kennedy was interested in the possibilities of anti-missile strategic defense to put an end to that nightmare of "Mutually Assured Destruction" [MAD] which appealed to Henry Kissinger, a disgruntled former employee of the Kennedy administration whom the president had denounced as a madman.

Re: Texas Oil

Postby DrDebugDU » Wed Jul 13, 2005 1:26 pm

The most prolific oil reserves in the United States were not discovered until October, 1930. The first small company to find oil in East Texas was Deep Rock Oil Company. The first investor to take advantage of the discovery was Haroldson L. Hunt (1a/1b). He bought 5,000 acres of leases and an eighty-acre tract for $1,335,000. Hunt soon owned 500 wells in East Texas.<br><br>Texas oil millionaires fought hard to maintain its tax concessions. The most important of these was the oil depletion allowance. It was first introduced in 1913 and allowed producers to use the depletion allowed to deduct just 5 per cent of their income and the deduction was limited to the original cost of their property. However, in 1926 the depletion allowance was increased to 27.5 per cent.<br><br>In 1955 Lyndon Johnson became majority leader of the Senate. Lyndon Johnson and Richard Russell now had complete control over all the important Senate committees. This was proving to be an expensive business. The money used to bribe these politicians came from Russell’s network of businessmen. These were men usually involved in the oil and armaments industries.<br><br>As the historian, Robert A. Caro:<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>"<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>The Texans were elected on December 7, 1931, not only to the Speakership of the House but to the chairmanship of five of its most influential committees, Lyndon Johnson</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->'s first day in the Capitol was the day Texas came to power in it - a power that the state was to hold, with only the briefest interruptions, for more than thirty years." (2)<br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>In 1956 Senators called for an investigation into the lobbying of the oil industry by Thomas Hennings. Lyndon Johnson was unwilling to allow a senator not under his control to look into the matter. Instead he set up a select committee chaired by Walter F.

Hunt who used tax exemptions to spread right-wing propaganda. In 1963 Kennedy talked about plans to submit to Congress a tax reform plan designed to produce about $185,000,000 in additional revenues by changes in the favourable tax treatment until then accorded the gas-oil industry. (4)<br><br>In 1963 Kennedy was also talking about bringing an end to the oil depletion allowance (27.5 percent). The oil depleation allowance was highly profitable tax dodge for oil companies.

Re: November 1st, 1963 - Ngo Dinh Diem assassination

Postby DrDebugDU » Wed Jul 13, 2005 1:30 pm

United States came and started supporting a man called Ngo Dinh Diem, who turned out to be one of the most ruthless dictators in the history of the world. Who set out to silence all opposition. People were brutally murdered because they spoke out against the brutal policies of Diem. (1)<br><br>The U.S hoped that Diem could be the charismatic equivalent of Ho Chi Minh. but Diem showed to be unsuited to role the U.S. had written for him, the opinions of these strategists began to change in the 1960s. U.S. planners complained, claiming to be annoyed that Diem had not implemented land reforms to compete with the highly popular Communist program, and further claimed that the nepotism and corruption in his government was hurting the Southern cause. (2)<br><br>Having served as ambassador to Moscow and governor of New York, W. Averell Harriman was in the middle of a long public career. In 1960, President Kennedy appointed him ambassador-at-large. By 1963, according to William R. Corson, Harriman was running "Vietnam without consulting the president or the Attorney General." (3)<br><br>Shortly after Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. and Admiral Felt had called on Ngo Dinh Diem on November 1, the generals made their move, culminating a summer and fall of complex intrigue. The coup was led by General Minh, the most respected of the senior generals, together with Generals Don, Kim and Khiem. They convoked a meeting of all but a few senior officers at JGS headquarters at noon on the day of the coup, announced their plans and got the support of their compatriots.<br><br>The coup itself was executed with skill and swiftness. They had devoted special attention to ensuring that the major potentially loyal forces were isolated and their leaders neutralized at the outset of the operation. By the late afternoon of November 1, only the palace guard remained to defend the two brothers.<br><br>At 4:30 p.m., Diem called Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. to ask where the U.S. stood. Lodge was noncommital and confined himself to concern for Diem's physical safety. The conversation ended inconclusively. The generals made repeated calls to the palace offering the brothers safe conduct out of the country if they surrendered, but the two held out hope until the very end.<br><br>Sometime that evening they secretly slipped out of the palace through an underground escape passage and went to a hide-away in Cholon. There they were captured the following morning after their whereabouts was learned when the palace fell. Shortly the two brothers were murdered in the back of an armored personnel carrier en route to JGS headquarters.
