AMROD and the JFK assassination

 62 years ago today,  JFK was murdered.  I was only 5 years old that day.  I have some sketchy memories.  I was emotionally aware of the shock to everyone and I recall seeing a grainy newsreel of a man carrying the rifle that had been discovered in the Texas Schoolbook Depository out through a crowded room...holding it over his head so all could see.   I was too little to understand anything more than the feelings this caused.  The people I was around were shocked and saddened and confused.  

In the 1970s I became somewhat more politically aware. Vietnam had divided the nation.  It definitely pitted the feeling of being Pro anything America did...with one's moral sense.  I didn't know it then but it was an experience of what now is a common feeling,  "cognitive dissonance".  

For me,  the sequel to JFK being murdered was Richard Nixon resigning in shame due to Watergate.  The adults informed us that 'stuff like this did not happen' in the past. I know, now, that this wasn't true really. It's just the public was kept uninformed about all the shit that happens at the high power levels of society.

In 1978,  I attended a lecture by author Mark Lane.  He had written the first successful  'conspiracy theory' book on the JFK assassination , "Rush to Judgment".  He had another book out about the MLK assassination and was touring the nation promoting this book.  But, that night his comments sparked a lifelong interest in the details of the JFK case.  Now, in 2025,  I know one thing for sure...the JFK rabbi hole is one of the deepest, widest and most labyrinthian ones a person might hope to find. 

So,  here it is, 2025 and in the past few months we have been told that the "WHOLE" JFK government file has been released. This has been a big dud though. Best I can tell is that some government agent went out  a week or two before the killing and purposely bungled a bank robbery.  Why? He wanted to be put in jail and therefore incapable of being used as a scapegoat for when the asssassination happened. He makes sure he is in jail...doesn't post bond and goes through all that to avoid the rap on JFK.  It's proof , of a kind,  that people in espionage knew the killing was coming. 

Still, that is pretty weak tea compared to all the amazing stuff that we've learned over the years.  

In this case, I have looked at it through every angle that became known to me.  I have considered an awfully lot of curious facts.  But,  let me tell you the one fact that is most decisive to me.

If you look at every assassination we have had historically and even internationally,  it seems to me the JFK stands out on ONE curiousity that does not occur any any other case, before..or since.  In assassinations,  you have to have an assassin.  (at least one).  And,  the assassin in every case goes TO the target.  Think of  recent ones,  Charlie Kirk,  Maggione,  the attempts on Trump.  But this pattern is seen all the time.  Booth went to Lincoln. (he was not acting in the theater the night of the killing).  Mark Chapman stalked John Lennon.  Hinckley went to Ronald Reagan.  This seems almost universal.  But, in the JFK assassination,  Oswald worked at the Texas Book Depositiory building weeks or months before it was ever known that it would be along JFK's parade route on Nov. 22.  So...who made the decision to bring JFK  to...Oswald?  Who decided to DELIVER the president to the assassin? 

Here is what is interesting, Associate Deputy Director Lt. Gen. Charles P. Cabell

Served as Associate Deputy Director (a role assisting the DDCI) from 1962 until his resignation on January 31, 1963, following the Kennedy assassination (though his exit was not directly tied to it). He was a key figure in operations planning during the early 1960s but had left by November 1963.

Then there was the mayor of Dallas: Mayor of Dallas.  EARL Cabell.  

May 1961 – February 1964

Chief executive of the city; directly responsible for the Dallas Police Department, city administration, and the official arrangements for President Kennedy’s visit on November 22, 1963 (motorcade route, security coordination with Secret Service, etc.). He personally approved the final motorcade route that went through Dealey Plaza.

Consider this: 

• Earle Cabell had been a CIA asset (covert, not a full-time employee) since at least 1956, according
• to a declassified 1975 CIA memorandum (CIA document 1163-1023). His cryptonym was “AMROD”.
• He was the younger brother of Lt. Gen. Charles P. Cabell, who had been Deputy Director of the CIA
• (1953–1962) until he was fired by President Kennedy along with Allen Dulles and Richard Bissell
• after the Bay of Pigs failure.

So in November 1963, the man whose city government hosted Kennedy’s visit—and whose police department was in charge of local security along the motorcade route—was the brother of a recently dismissed very senior CIA officer and himself a long-time CIA asset.

Of course, these family links and historical motives may mean nothing at all. But, to my mind it has formedthe decisive fact cluster by which I interepret this case.
