Operation MONGOOSE––the assassination of Castro and as many of his top aides as possible––into readiness. What President Kennedy and his brother did not know was that foreign hit men had been approached through intermediaries on behalf of U.S. intelligence to kill an American politician in the United States.
Kennedy had requested MJ-12 UFO intelligence and a proposal by 1 February 1964 in anticipation of winning the presidential election in his own right. He would be announcing the pullout of U.S. military advisers from Laos and Vietnam by the end of the year and then perhaps disclosing the classified UFO program to the public.
He would also engage NASA in a joint lunar exploration program with the Soviets thereby ending the nuclear arms race all in his second term. With Castro out of the way and liberating Cuba, Kennedy’s popularity would guarantee his presidency for another four years thus paving the way for his brother, Robert Kennedy, the 1968 presidential election and a Democratic controlled White House for the 1970s. Whether JFK’s later discovered extensive use of pain killers for back pain or his extra-marital affairs would have changed all that is a matter of continued historical debate and speculation.
But, on November 22, 1963, all those hopes for JFK and the world ended with three or more gun shots. No Vietnam pull out, no reorganization of the CIA, and no UFO disclosures. Allen Dulles was then free to finish his work on the Warren Commission and forever hence keep those secrets that were deemed “Exempt from Disclosure” as Richard Helms would do as we’ll see in the next chapter.

RICHARD HELMS: DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
“Richard Helms was briefed into the subject of UFOs in the early days. He knew about Roswell and knew the involvement of the CIA from around 1950 to the 1970s. Helms knew the NSA involvement with programs to capture ET signals.”
—Rick Doty
“ T he Central Intelligence Agency,” Allen Dulles once told Congress “should be directed by a relatively small, but elite corps of men with a passion for anonymity and a willingness to stick at that particular job (1).” Richard Helms, the eighth Director of Central Intelligence (1966-1973) had those qualities. He died in Washington on October 23rd 2002 at the age of 89. He was among the last of a dwindling group of trailblazers like James Jesus Angleton and Allen Dulles (Chapters 1 & 2) who dominated American intelligence for much of the Cold War, but who like his cohorts was deeply steeped
