Indian man charged with assassination plot aimed at Sikh activist in NYC

The Justice Department announced charges against an Indian man who’s accused of directing an assassination plot.

Nikhil “Nick” Gupta was charged on Wednesday after an Indian government employee who works on security and intelligence encouraged him to take out a Sikh activist who supports a sovereign state in northern India, the Department of Justice said.

The defendant conspired from India to assassinate, right here in New York City, a U.S. citizen of Indian origin who has publicly advocated for the establishment of a sovereign state for Sikhs,” said Manhattan prosecutor Damian Williams in a statement.

It’s the second such incident announced in the past week. According to President Joe Biden’s administration, investigators foiled another plot to kill a Sikh separatist in the United States.

Among the most startling details in the Justice Department’s statement is an alleged revelation from Gupta to an undercover DEA agent that another Sikh leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, “was also the target.”

In fact, he revealed, “We have so many targets.”

The Life And Public Assassination Of President John F. Kennedy By The CIA

Why President Kennedy was publicly murdered by the CIA sixty years ago has never been more important.  All pseudo-debates to the contrary – including the numerous and growing claims that it was not the U.S. national security state but the Israelis that assassinated the president, which exonerates the CIA – the truth about the assassination has long been evident.  There is nothing to debate unless one is some sort of intelligence operative, has an obsession, or is out to make a name or a buck.  I suggest that all those annual JFK conferences in Dallas should finally end, but my guess is that they will be rolling along for many more decades.  To make an industry out of a tragedy is wrong.  And these conferences are so often devoted to examining and debating minutiae that are a distraction from the essential truth. 

As for the corporate mainstream media, they will never admit the truth but will continue as long as necessary to titillate the public with lies, limited hangouts, and sensational non-sequiturs.  To do otherwise would require admitting that they have long been complicit in falsely reporting the crime and the endless coverup.  That they are arms of the CIA and NSA.

The Cold War, endless other wars, and the nuclear threat John Kennedy worked so hard to end have today been inflamed to a fever pitch by U.S. leaders in thrall to the forces that killed the president. President Joseph Biden, like all the presidents that followed Kennedy, is JFK’s opposite, an unrepentant war-monger, not only in Ukraine with the U.S. war against Russia and the U.S. nuclear first-strike policy, but throughout the world – the Middle-East, Africa, Syria, Iran, and on and on, including the push for war with China.

Why Kennedy Was Doomed

The JFK assassination cannot be properly understood without taking into account the environment in which it occurred. 

At the time, America and the world were roiled by explosive events and controversies, perhaps even beyond the often-terrifying norm. As a dynamic, active leader of the most powerful country, Kennedy responded to these crises and opportunities, but not everyone liked his mindset and actions. 

As I have found while working on a decade-plus book on the Kennedy assassination, the signs were everywhere that special interests were aggrieved by Kennedy. 

Our media and history books have been derelict in bringing to public attention the mortal combat in which large American companies were locked with Kennedy. 

In this installment of a series, I’ve chosen to highlight a single topic that has received inadequate public scrutiny — Western interests operating in poor, underdeveloped countries, and corollaries in US domestic affairs — as examples of the foreboding climate that preceded Kennedy’s fateful visit to Dallas on November 22, 1963.

JFK assassination at 60: Oswald ‘doubles’ show CIA hand in plot

Few things unite Americans like the certainty that John F. Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy. This November 22, on the 60th anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination, polls show the overwhelming majority of US citizens do not believe accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted without accomplices. Many contend the Communist “lone nut” shooter was in fact merely an innocent “patsy”, as he himself proclaimed not long before being snuffed out by mafioso Jack Ruby.

That such skepticism overflowed in the aftermath of Kennedy’s assassination, and has endured ever since, is highly unusual. Almost without exception, mainstream politicians, pundits, and journalists have enforced the official narrative of a single bullet taking Kennedy down. Along the way, Western audiences have been deluged with articles, books, “documentaries” and more reinforcing the findings of the Warren Commission, a politicized whitewash set up by Kennedy’s successor Lyndon B. Johnson, specifically to convict Oswald, and Oswald alone.

This is despite the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluding Kennedy was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.” The CIA aggressively stonewalled that probe, and has since engaged in extensive information warfare efforts to publicly defend the Commission and its conclusions, while discrediting what it calls “conspiracy theories.” 

In 1967, the Agency circulated an internal brief calling upon its operatives “[to] discuss the publicity problem with liaison and friendly elite contacts, especially politicians and editors [and] employ propaganda assets to answer and refute the attacks of the critics… Book reviews and feature articles are particularly appropriate for this purpose.”

The CIA’s concerns were well-founded, and remain so. The Warren Commission and HSCA each unearthed enormous amounts of primary source material and eyewitnesses pointing away from Oswald’s guilt, and towards the Agency and its assets. Both struggled to provide any satisfactory resolution to the innumerable discrepancies, anomalies, oddities and suspicions its own investigators uncovered, which have perplexed and bedeviled independent researchers ever since. Chief among them, incontrovertible indications Oswald was being impersonated at numerous junctures prior to Kennedy’s assassination.

Strikingly too, Oswald “doubles” were often found in close quarters with US intelligence operatives, and assets. The existence of these impersonators is evidenced by ample documentation. In its totality, the paper trail documenting Oswald’s doppelgangers may provide the best proof of a JFK assassination plot orchestrated by elements of the CIA.

Revisiting Camelot: JFK 60 Years On

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the assassination of the 35th president of the United States, Jonathan Fitzgerald Kennedy. Known colloquially as JFK, or affectionately as Jack to his peers.

As the official narrative goes, on November 22nd, 1963 John F Kennedy sat in the back of a top down Lincoln Continental limousine, adjacent from his wife Jackie and Texas governor John Connolly and his wife Nellie, as his motorcade drove through Dallas, Texas’ Dealey Plaza. At approximately 12:30pm Central standard time ex-Marine Corps veteran and defector Lee Harvey Oswald took aim from his position in the Dallas school book depository and opened fire on the motorcade. Firing three times, hitting Kennedy in the head at least once, mortally wounding him. As the motorcade sped to safety Kennedy was eventually rushed to the nearby Parkland hospital where he would later succumb to his injuries. 

Just two days later the suspected assassin Oswald would be gunned down whilst in Dallas police custody by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. The aftermath of the killing prompting the incumbent president Lyndon B Johnson to appoint a committee to investigate the assassination of President Kennedy, headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren. After nearly a year the Warren Commission, as it was known, concluded their investigation. Presenting their findings to President Johnson on September 24th 1964, concluding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in his assassination of President Kennedy.

Thus begins one of the most intriguing sagas in American history. For all it’s worth the Kennedy assassination and those key events and figures tied to it have since been encapsulated in American mythos for over half a century, fueled by speculation and unanswered questions that have given rise to just as many conspiracy theories as it has pop culture references.

In the six decades since Kennedy’s death, after numerous investigations and a plethora of declassified documents being released, what have we actually learned about the death of the president?

Even in the early days of his administration, Kennedys Camelot was steeped in controversy.

Notwithstanding the romanticization of the Kennedy administration painted primarily by his wife Jackie following his tragic demise it doesn’t take away from the fact that in 1960s America Jack Kennedy was just another political figure vying for power during this tumultuous time, not unlike Nixon or the rest, and while popular not overly so as his later mythos would portray. Evidenced by the fact that he won the 1960 presidential election by the slimmest of margins, winning 34,227,096 popular votes compared to Richard Nixon’s 34,107,646.

A feat which in and of itself is questionable. According to legendary award-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, Kennedys election could not have been assured without the help of organized crime guaranteeing his victory in key swing states, primarily relying on the help of infamous Chicago mafioso Sam Giancana.

He was a man not without his faults, known for being a serial womanizer who’s conga line of concubines were as numerable as the conspiracies surrounding him. From Hollywood starlets including Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Marlena Dietrich, to strippers, call girls, and prostitutes, JFK was not the wholesome family man many have been led to believe. 

Still, contrary to the official version of events, for its numerous glaring irregularities the Kennedy assassination has been marred in mystery. Prompting many to wonder what truly happened on that fateful day. 

As the years have turned to decades many a theory have been concocted as a possible explainer to that burning question. With some speculating that rather than the crazed actions of a lone gunman the murder of Kennedy was actually the result of a carefully organized and orchestrated conspiracy within our own government to remove him from power.

But what does the evidence actually show?

Dr. Cyril Wecht continues to rejet Warren Commission’s findings on JFK’s assassination

Sixty years ago today, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.

The Warren Commission was created to determine what happened and concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin. It’s a conclusion that Dr. Cyril Wecht continues to reject, as Wecht told KDKA-TV political editor Jon Delano.

At age 92, Wecht, a noted forensic pathologist, doctor and lawyer, is convinced that Oswald — if involved at all — did not act alone to kill the president.

“There were two shooters,” he said. “One from the rear and one from the right front behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll. I don’t believe Oswald was the shooter, but I’m not uptight about that. If they wanted Oswald as a shooter, we still have a conspiracy, two or more people involved.”

Wecht says there was a cover-up to hide the truth, beginning with the failure to use expert pathologists in the autopsy and the failure to examine the president’s brain.

“There’s no question about it,” he said. “Two shots were fired. They covered up. The autopsy was by two military pathologists who had never done a medical, legal gunshot autopsy in their entire careers. The brain was never examined. It was never dissected because it would have shown two hemorrhagic tracks through the brain by the bullets.”

The unanswered question remains: Who was responsible for the conspiracy to kill Kennedy?

Spanish cops arrest British woman and her partner over assassination attempt on politician who was shot in the face in Madrid in attack blamed on Iran

A British woman and her partner have been arrested by police investigating an assassination attempt on veteran Spanish politician Alejo Vidal-Quadras in Madrid.

The couple were arrested in the town of Lanjaron, the gateway to the picture-postcard Alpujarras region, this morning after another man was arrested in the Costa Del Sol. 

Mr Vidal-Quadras cheated death after being shot in the face in broad daylight on a central street in the Spanish capital on November 9.

The victim, former regional leader of the right-wing Popular Party in Catalonia before breaking away to help form the far-right Vox party, told police from his hospital bed he blamed Iran for the shooting because of his ties with the country’s opposition.

Police sources said this afternoon they were working on the theory that the partner of the Brit had hired a paid assassin to murder Vidal-Quadras. 

They are said to be closing in on a North African hitman allegedly paid to carry out the crime, Granada-based newspaper Ideal reported. It has not been made clear if investigators believe the unnamed British woman knew about her partner’s suspected involvement. 

The other arrest is understood to have taken place in the Costa del Sol resort of Fuengirola.

Detectives suspect he organised the assassination attempt at the ‘request of other people’, Ideal claimed citing sources close to the ongoing investigation. 

A police source confirmed this morning the British woman was one of the three people arrested. They said: ‘Her possible participation in the crime is being investigated. She is the partner of one of the other two detainees.’ 

A Spanish National Police spokesman said this afternoon: ‘All three people held earlier today remain in custody. There is nothing more we can say at this time.’

Notorious “Secret Team” Headed by CIA Agent Theodore Shackley Was Involved in the Kidnapping and Assassination of Italian Premier Aldo Moro, Italian Parliamentary Investigations Show

The Secret Team was a group of CIA agents run by CIA’s “Blond Ghost” Theodore Shackley that was involved in the most scandalous U.S. foreign policy interventions throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including the “October Surprise” and Iran-Contra affair. Now, Shackley’s “secret team” has been found to have had extensive connections to the assassination of Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro (1963-68 and 1974-76) by parliamentary commissions of inquiry in Italy and independent investigations.

Moro was long the nemesis of powerful conservative factions of the U.S. establishment, due to his insistence on engaging in direct political cooperation with the Italian Communist Party (PCI).

Secret Team member Edwin P. Wilson and his associate Frank Terpil, both former CIA officers, were running extensive operations in Qaddafi’s Libya, including delivery of weapons and military explosives, political assassinations and training and logistical support to various international terrorist groups, including the Italian Red Brigades, officially responsible for the kidnapping and murder of Moro in 1978.[1]

New study casts more doubt on JFK assassination’s ‘magic bullet’

A Colorado-based company with an office in Atlanta has released its findings related to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination ahead of that fateful day’s 60th anniversary.

Kennedy was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, while his motorcade passed through downtown’s Dealey Plaza. The Warren Commission was assembled to investigate the shooting; its 1964 report determined Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman, firing a total of three shots that struck Kennedy and Texas Gov. John Connolly, who was riding in the presidential limousine’s front seat.

However, the study from Knott Laboratory combined high-definition laser scans with photographs, films and other evidence to create a digital twin of Dealey Plaza. The accuracy in the tested bullet trajectories shows the exit point on Kennedy and entry point on . Connally to have a significant angle difference.

Stanley Stoll, CEO of Knott Laboratory, said evidence suggests the potential of a fourth shot from another location indicating a second gunman and perhaps a wider conspiracy to kill the president.

JFK Assassination: Hiding in Plain Sight, Startling Revelations

President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot on November 22, 1963, as his open-topped limousine glided through Dallas’s Dealey Plaza. Within hours, Dallas police arrested and charged a young New Orleans native, Lee Oswald, who worked in a building overlooking the plaza, situated just where Kennedy’s car had to slow down to negotiate a sharp turn. 

Eyewitness accounts differed about the origin and number of shots. But a substantial majority of onlookers, including both civilians and law enforcement, initially believed  the shots had come from in front of the vehicle, not the rear — the site of the Texas School Book Depository building where Oswald worked at the time Kennedy was struck. 

By the next day, authorities were actively dispelling speculation about multiple shooters, adamantly insisting that they had the lone-wolf culprit. Oswald emphatically denied having shot anyone — but before he could expound on his innocence, he was murdered on November 24, while in police custody, by nightclub owner Jack Ruby, who maintained long-standing friendships with both police and organized crime. Despite compelling reasons to dig further, the lone-wolf narrative almost immediately became the official story, reinforced by the September 1964 Warren Commission report and subsequently promulgated by the media. This simplistic account is still widely cited today.

This, despite a late 1970s investigation by a House panel that was longer, better resourced, and far more rigorous, and concluded essentially the opposite: that conspiracy was probably involved.

Had they known of the following conversation, they might not have used the word “probably.”
