established a public profile for himself as a "pro-Castro" agitator in the
streets of New Orleans. (See Chapter 15 and Appendix Three)
David Ferrie - An enigmatic CIA contract operative, Ferrie was closely
involved with Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans in the summer of 1963,
working alongside Oswald out of Guy Banister's office. The investigation
of Ferrie by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison ultimately led to
Garrison's discovery of Permindex board member Clay Shaw's ties to
Ferrie, Oswald and Banister. (See Chapter 15 and Appendix Three)
Marita Lorenz - A former CIA contract operative, she testified under oath
that one day prior to the JFK assassination she arrived in Dallas with her
CIA handler Frank Sturgis and an armed caravan of Cuban exiles who were
met there by not only Jack Ruby, who later killed Lee Harvey Oswald, but
also by CIA official E. Howard Hunt. (See Chapter 9 and Chapter 16)
Frank Sturgis - Best remembered as a key CIA player in the war against
Castro, Sturgis had worked for the Mossad even prior to his years with the
CIA and maintained his Mossad ties well into the 1970s. Sturgis was not
only involved in the training of Cuban exiles near New Orleans (the same
operation involving Guy Banister and David Ferrie) but he also led the
armed caravan (described by Marita Lorenz) that arrived in Dallas the day
before the JFK assassination. Sturgis later told Miss Lorenz that his team
had played a part in the events in Dealey Plaza. (See Chapter 16)
Guillermo & Ignacio Novo - Two brothers, veterans of the CIA-backed
Cuban exile wars against Fidel Castro, the Novos were part of the armed
caravan led by CIA and Mossad asset Frank Sturgis that arrived in Dallas
on November 21, 1963. Many years after Dallas, the Novos were convicted
of participating in the murder of a Chilean dissident in collaboration with
another Mossad-connected adventurer, Michael Townley, who in 1963 had
been working for high-level Mossad figures implicated in the JFK
conspiracy. (See Chapter 9 and Chapter 16)
Victor Marchetti - A high-ranking CIA official who left the agency in
disgust, Marchetti later made a career writing about the CIA. In a 1978
article in The Spotlight newspaper, Marchetti charged that the CIA was
about to frame its long-time operative, E. Howard Hunt, with involvement
in the JFK assassination. A libel suit filed by Hunt as a consequence of
Marchetti's article resulted in a climactic finding by a jury that the CIA had
been involved in the assassination of the president. (See Chapter 16)
Robin Moore - A journalist with long-standing close ties to the CIA,
Moore co-authored former CIA man Hugh McDonald's book, LBJ and the
JFK Conspiracy which promoted James Jesus Angleton's false claim that
the KGB was behind the president's murder—another of the disinformation
stories that emerged following the assassination. (See Chapter 17)
