of information on "right wing groups" and "right-wing subversives." The
ADL most assuredly would have been one of Hosty's primary contacts.
So not only do we have Guy Banister and David Ferrie, both closely
connected to the ADL, working with Oswald in New Orleans prior to the
assassination, but we also find an ADL-connected FBI agent in Dallas
(Hosty) engaged in some sort of intrigue with Oswald, the actual details of
which will probably never be known.
So in this sense, then, we can rightly say that in more ways than one
Lee Harvey Oswald did indeed have an "ADL connection" and thus, an
"Israeli connection."
The big question, then, is just what did the ADL know about Lee
Harvey Oswald and when did they know it? How much information gathered
by Oswald did the ADL get from Guy Banister? How much information
gathered by Oswald did they get from Hosty? Was Banister indeed using
Oswald as part of an ADL "fact-finding" operation?
Or—dare we say it—was Oswald really only on the ADL's payroll all
along? Was, in fact, the ADL financing Oswald's activities on behalf of
Banister and/or Hosty? Does this explain why no records exist which
"prove" that Oswald was on the FBI's payroll? Again—just some questions.
JACK RUBY AND THE ADL-FBI CONNECTION
It should be noted, additionally, that while many JFK assassination
researchers look in the direction of "right wing hate groups" as a possible
source of the JFK conspiracy, these same researchers fail to remember that
these same groups were heavily infiltrated by the FBI's COINTELPRO
operation. For example, William Sullivan, the FBI official who headed
COINTELPRO once estimated that for every 25 Ku Klux Klan members
there were 3 COINTELPRO operatives among them. Thus, taking
Sullivan's figures at face value, let's consider the case of Jack Ruby, the
Dallas nightclub keeper who killed Lee Harvey Oswald.
JFK researchers say Ruby knew about half of the 1200 members of the
Dallas Police Department and often entertained groups of more than 30 at a
time at his club. The researchers claim 50% of the Dallas cops were either
members of the KKK or the Minutemen or other extreme right wing
groups. Based on the figures put forth by both Sullivan and the researchers,
it is not an extraordinary assertion, then, that many of Ruby's "extreme
right" contacts in the Dallas Police Department were, in fact,
COINTELPRO operatives. And if they were COINTELPRO operatives,
then, they certainly had close connections to the ADL.
But to return to the subject of Guy Banister's infamous "right wing
extremist associates"—Kent and Phoebe Courtney—we can conclude, based
on Banister's close association with "Bee" Botnick of the New Orleans
office of the ADL, that it is not out of the realm of possibility that
Banister's good friends, Kent and Phoebe Courtney, were likewise receiving
covert support—maybe financing—from the ADL.
