The deathbed confession tape in which former CIA operative and key Bay of Pigs/Watergate/Nixon administration figure E. Howard Hunt admits he was approached to be part of the CIA assassination team to kill JFK was aired on national radio this week – an astounding development that has been suppressed by the mainstream media.

Saint John Hunt, son of E. Howard Hunt, was interviewed on the nationally syndicated Coast To Coast Live radio show to discuss the revelations contained in his father’s deathbed confessional tape.

Hunt said that his father had mailed the cassette tape to him in January 2004 and asked that it be released after his death. The tape was originally 20 minutes long but was edited down to four and a half minutes for the Coast to Coast broadcast. Hunt promises that the whole tape will be uploaded soon at his website.

Prisonplanet.com report:

E. Howard Hunt names numerous individuals with both direct and indirect CIA connections as having played a role in the assassination of Kennedy, while describing himself as a “bench warmer” in the plot. Saint John Hunt agreed that the use of this term indicated that Hunt was willing to play a larger role in the murder conspiracy had he been required.

Hunt alleges on the tape that then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was involved in the planning of the assassination and in the cover-up, stating that LBJ, “Had an almost maniacal urge to become president, he regarded JFK as an obstacle to achieving that.”

Asked if his father followed the conspiracy theories into the Kennedy assassination, Saint John said the elder Hunt did follow the work of AJ Weberman, a New York freelance writer, who in the early 70’s first accused Hunt of being one of three bums who were arrested in Dealy Plaza. The so-called bums (pictured above) were interrogated and later released by authorities shortly after the assassination. Weberman, one of the founders of the Youth International Party, the Vippies, published photographs of the tramps and found that two of them bore striking similarities to Hunt and Frank Sturgis, also named by Hunt in the tape as having been played a role in the assassination conspiracy.

Asked for his opinion as to whether his father was indeed one of the Dealy Plaza “tramps”, Saint John, in a stunning revelation, said one of the tramps indeed looked much like his father did in 1963 (see comparison above).

Other researchers believe the “Hunt tramp” to really be Chauncey Holt, who apparently later confessed to the fact. Charles Harrelson was allegedly identified as the third tramp.

Saint John Hunt said that shortly before his death, his father had felt “deeply conflicted and deeply remorseful” that he didn’t blow the whistle on the plot at the time and prevent the assassination, but that everyone in the government hated Kennedy and wanted him gone in one way or another. Kennedy’s promise to “shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter the remnants to the wind” was being carried out and this infuriated almost everyone at the agency.

Hunt also said that his mother’s death in a December 8, 1972 plane crash in Chicago was suspicious and that there was evidence of a White House cover-up surrounding the circumstances of the alleged accident.

Investigators discovered $10,000 dollars in her luggage and Hunt alleged that his mother traveled around the country using Nixon campaign money to payoff the families of the Watergate burglars to keep them quiet about the involvement of the Nixon White House in the Watergate break-in and cover-up.

Hunt cited numerous coincidences surrounding the aftermath of the crash, including Nixon’s appointment of his henchman, Egil Krough, to the National Transportation Safety Board which investigates plane crashes, the very day after the incident.

Eyewitnesses reported that the plane exploded above treetop level before it had even hit the runway.

Hunt said that “at least 20-25 FBI members,” as well as numerous DIA agents were at the scene of the crash within minutes before rescue personnel had even arrived, and that this fact was attested to in a letter sent by the head of the Chicago FBI to investigator Sherman Skolnick.

Hunt said that his safety was guaranteed by the dissemination of the tape and that he had several copies and had mailed others to addresses both abroad and in the U.S.

Once this information is out there’s really no point in anyone trying to do me in or do me wrong – someone may try to discredit me but I have no skeletons in my closet,” said Hunt.

As we have previously reported, the night before the Kennedy assassination, Lyndon Baines Johnson met with Dallas tycoons, FBI moguls and organized crime kingpins – emerging from the conference to tell his mistress Madeleine Duncan Brown that “those SOB’s” would never embarrass him again.

Though Brown first went public on her 21-year relationship with Johnson in the early 80’s, to this day her shocking revelations about how he had told her the Kennedy’s “would never embarrass me again” the night before the assassination are often ignored by the media who prefer to keep the debate focused on issues which can’t definitively be proven either way (or at least can be spun and whitewashed).

George Herbert Walker Bush was also pictured at the scene of the crime in Dealy Plaza.

In addition, Barr McClellan, father of former White House press secretary Scott McClellan and a partner in the Austin law firm that represented Johnson, wrote in his 2003 book that LBJ was a key player in the organization of the assassination and its cover-up. McClellan’s revelations were the subject of a subsequent History Channel documentary called The Guilty Men.

    • It’s not the same story man. Not sure how you can confuse Marilyn Monroe and John F Kennedy. Do some research. E Howard Hunt is a well known figure, well respected, with deep knowledge of CIA and government affairs. Do you know anything about Watergate? Come on.

    •  Look at the gold battery’s source “hoax-slayer” — is like reading the National Enquirer or about little green aliens.  You’re right about E. Howard Hunt, of course.  We remember him.  As for the Monroe death, it’s on the long list of suspicious, but JFK’s was clearly an inside job.  So was the killing of RFK.

  1. True story, but only part of the big picture.  Hoover was also involved.  The Warren Commission was a total coverup.  And, Oswald never fired a shot.  There were two shots.  The last shot came through the windshield by the rear view mirror, was the shot that blew JFK’s head backwards, came from the grassy knoll.  It is a long and complex entire picture, that would take as it did many years to untangle way beyond reasonable doubt.  It was a carefully planned trap.  Oswald was a perfect scapegoat, then neutralized by Jack Ruby, who didn’t have much choice than to hope for public vindication and a pardon.  JFK did not want LBJ in the first place.  He was advised he had to, in order to get the vote.  There was also concern if the USA would vote JFK in, an Irish Catholic, despite his promise he wouldn’t bring the church into his decisions, and didn’t.  He was also going against his father’s plans for the USA.  Joe got rich during Prohibition on illegal alchohol, and, was a Nazi supporter.  Jack turned out being well-liked by the people.  A week before his murder, (speech available on internet) he railed against secret societies, and endorsed whistleblowers.  (Snowden would get a medal, per se).  JFK pushed LBJ into a corner, constantly… infuriating the Texas oil mongul.  The CIA manipulated JFK with information.  JFK was tricked by the UN in terms of him helping Katanga (an african nation that loved him and the USA), in its fight against communists of the Congo (now CAR).  The ambush reversed and Katanga fell to the communists.  –JFK also did not  want to deploy US troops in Viet Nam.  He said let it resolve its own internal problems.  Viet Nam was LBJ’s war, yet he refused the generals advice on simply winning that war. 

  2. Sorry, People. The CONSPIRACY was by Hoover et al to cover up the fact they were trying to develop Oswald as an Informant, and failed to tell the Secret Service that he was a loony tune who had made threats against the  Texas Governor et al. This whole story was for Hunt to give his family a means to make MONEY with books, etc. Occam’s Razor. Why not just tape a bunch of JFKs porking of various women, threaten to release them as “Stag Films?” That would have enabled Johnson to control him and Bobby, be the REAL power behind the POTUS. Then, JFK steps down due to “Health” in 1964, so Johnson runs for Prez. Complicated Conspiracy rarely exist because they rarely work. KISS, people, KISS.
