182 A Little Unpleasantness [121]
Despite all these more tenuous Buckley links, there is, however, firm
evidence of a link between the Buckleys and DeMohrenschildt. It turns out
that in DeMohrenschildt's address book is listed one "Buckley, W.F." 325
DeMOHRENSCHILDT AND HUNT
DeMohrenschildt's career also seems to have intersected on a regular
basis with that of William F. Buckley, Jr.'s friend and CIA mentor, E.
Howard Hunt. Both Hunt and DeMohrenschildt had worked for the Agency
for International Development (AID); Hunt for the Economic Cooperation
Administration (ECA), a subsidiary of AID and DeMohrenschildt in the late
1950's for the International Cooperation Administration, the AID subsidiary
which was the successor to the ECA.
Hunt and DeMohrenschildt also both popped up in Cuba in 1956 in the
stormy period before Fidel Castro pushed the Meyer Lansky Organized
Crime Syndicate off the island. While DeMohrenschildt said later that he
was there on oil business, Hunt was attending a meeting of CIA station
chiefs from the Caribbean and Central American regions.
In 1960 both Hunt and DeMohrenschildt also appeared in Guatemala
when troops were being trained there for what was ultimately to be the Bay
of Pigs debacle, initially intended for the purpose of toppling Castro.
DeMohrenschildt said that he and his wife were on a walking tour of Central
America. Hunt, however, was serving as the CIA's liaison with anti-Castro
Cuban groups. 326
By 1963, however, DeMohrenschildt had settled in Dallas and had
befriended Lee Harvey Oswald who by this time, was mixing easily with the
anti-Castro Cuban elements that were directly under the thumb of the CIA's
chief liaison with those forces—E. Howard Hunt.
The role of DeMohrenschildt in the JFK assassination conspiracy will
probably never be known. In the end, the globe-hopping nobleman died
(ostensibly by his own hand) on the morning of March 29, 1977 just
shortly before he was scheduled to meet with an investigator of the House
Select Committee on Assassinations. DeMohrenschildt's wife believed her
husband’s suicide had somehow been induced.
Whatever the case, there is yet another bizarre coincidence,
DeMohrenschildt had just met—before his death—with author Edward Jay
Epstein. In Chapter 8, as we saw, it was Epstein who was the primary
literary promoter of the theory that Lee Harvey Oswald was under Soviet
influence when he assassinated John F. Kennedy. The primary source for
Epstein's theory was Israel's CIA ally, James Jesus Angleton.
THE CIA AND THE OAS
It was during the same period of JFK' s war with the CIA that the CIA
was actively engaged in an effort to topple French President Charles
DeGaulle, lending aid and support to the Israeli-backed French Secret Army
