Lucien Sarti: The Man Who Killed Kennedy? 

in the 1988 British television documentary The Men Who killed Kennedy American journalist Steve Revel claimed to have discovered the identity of the man who fired the Fatal head shot from the grassy no he based this on interviews he conducted with a French drug trafficker named Christian David who had been part of the French Connection heroin trade made famous in the 1971 film starring Jee Hackman Revel first made contact with David while he was imprisoned at Fort lenworth in the US David said that in marsai France he

had first been offer the contract to kill President Kennedy but he was reticent to give any more details eventually David was deported to France where Revel made further contact with him and David began to divulge more details David related that in 1963 the contract to kill Kennedy had been offered to him by a powerful corsan mob boss in marsai named Antoine gini David turned down the contract on the grounds that it was too dangerous but he learned later that the contract had been accepted by a corsac drug trafficker

named Lucian s and two others David said STI himself revealed this to him several years later at a meeting in Buenas RS Argentina reel initially thought he had discovered the identities of the two others but after the documentary first aired they provided aliis and their names were scrubbed from subsequent airings of the documentary in the fall of 1963 the three pillars were flown from from Mar to Mexico City where they spent uh some 3 or 4 weeks uh at a uh at the house of a contact in Mexico City he said that

they were then driven from Mexico City to the US border of Brownsville Texas they crossed the border using Italian passports he said that they were picked up on the American side of the border at Brownsville by a representative of the Chicago Mafia with whom they conversed in Italian they were then driven to Dallas and put up in a safe house which had been prepared for them so as not to leave any hotel record on the question of the actual murder he was reasonably specific that two of the Assassins were in buildings behind the president’s

limousine he did not know which buildings however he did specify that one was high and one was low in fact he said Pont almost on the horizontal when I showed David an aerial photograph of De Plaza the first thing he said was show me where the railroad bridge is I pointed out the bridge over Elm Street and he said that was where sarti wanted to be but on the morning of the assassination the bridge was guarded and he was forced as he said to move on to the little Hill with the wooden fence uh he took up a position from

behind the wooden fence from which he fired one shot and David specified that he used an explosive bullet now in a separate conversation with David I asked him based upon what I knew about sar’s pension for changing his appearance whether SAR had ever never said anything to him about having worn a disguise and David said what do you mean by a disguise I asked him did STI ever indicate that he wore clothing other than he normally would have worn and David thought about it for a moment and said he wore a uniform on November 22nd 1963 Dallas

resident Mary Mormon was in de Plaza to greet President Kennedy’s motorcade she was standing on the grass lawn south of Elm Street where she snapped a Polaroid photo at the precise moment of the Fatal head shot researchers Gary Mack and Jack White conducted extensive analysis of Mormon’s photo and they concluded that in an area behind the picket fence on the grassy Nole one can see the outline of a man who appears to be wearing a policeman’s uniform aiming a rifle with what appears to be a puff of smoke obscuring part of

his face weall that according to Christian David STI was wearing a uniform disguise to blend in with his surroundings so who was Lucio sarti his name pops up in several books about the international drug trade of the 1960s and70s but the most detailed information comes from an April 23rd 1975 New York Times article by Nicholas Gage according to Gage sard traveled to South America in 1966 to set up up shop in the narcotics trade he was on the run from Europe having been accused of murdering a Belgian policeman in South America he

set up his own course conf faction called the Petra Ford which specialized in extortion bank robbery and heroin smuggling he met his end in Mexico City in 1972 where he and Associates had traveled to meet with representatives of American mafia families to set up a drug deal Mexican authorities at the behest of us narcotics agents were tracking him when they went to arrest him as he was getting into a car sarti pulled a coper pistol and opened fire whereupon the Mexican police shot him dead Infamous Watergate burglar and CIA

agent e Howard hunt has long been suspected of involvement in the plot to kill President Kennedy despite strenuous public denials until his death in 2007 his pous published Memoir though highly sanitized and establish lishmentfriendly contains a curious passage while disclaiming any personal knowledge of a conspiracy he gives a wink and a nod to the idea stating there has been suggestion in some circles that CIA agent Bill Harvey had something to do with the murder and had recruited several corsicans especially a crackshot

named lucion sarti to back up Oswald and make sure the hit was successful supposedly sarti was dressed in a Dallas police uniform and fired the Fatal Bullet From the grassy null behind the picket fence according to hunt son St John in the years before Hunt’s death he began to open up to his son about the true facts relating to the Kennedy assassination which St John discusses in his book Bond of secrecy my life with CIA spy and Watergate conspirator e Howard hunt hunt claimed that he was a benchwarmer in the plot and not directly

involved and provided a written outline of the principles of the plot the names in descending order are LBJ I.E Lyon Johnson cord Meyer David Morales Bill Harvey and an unnamed French gunman on the grassy n lynon Johnson was of course Vice President lynon Johnson cord Meyer was the cia’s chief of international organizations division his wife Mary Meyer had been engaged in a long-term affair with Kennedy and she herself would be murdered under mysterious circumstances in 1964 David Morales was chief of cortt operations for the cia’s JM wave station

in Miami from where the agency’s anti-ban efforts were directed and Bill Harvey had been head of the cia’s ZR rifle assassination program out of the JM wave station where he orchestrated the CIA Mafia plots against Cuban Premier Fidel Castro after the Cuban Missile Crisis Harvey was sent to Rome to head the CIA station there remember this fact both Morales and Harvey were known to Harbor a violent hatred of President Kennedy Over The Botch 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba so what about the unnamed French gunman in the chart

recall that hunt named sarti as a possible shooter in his book and at the behest of his son St John Hunt recorded several private interviews in the years before his death where his comments May shed further light well Harvey had written in a memo at one point uh when he was running the executive action program that he wanted to use corsicans he use what corsicans yeah as Hitman do you think it’s possible that when he was in Rome that he might have recruited a corac assassin to to kill Kennedy yes it is possible it’s one thing to uh set

yourself up and Splendid isolation and it’s another thing to use that isolation as a tool so that uh you’re not an immediate suspect in the case of a capital crime right cuz he was in Rome is that understandable yeah very very in the afterward to St John’s book written by film producer Eric Hamburg more information is provided about Bill Harvey and his links to the corsan underworld Harvey had an affinity for corsicans particularly for use and assassination operations in flawed Patriot former CIA officer Bayard

Stockton writes that Harvey recommended corsicans for use in the ZR rifle assassination program ZR rifle was intended to be carried out by non-american criminal elements in his memo Harvey wrote exclude organized criminals such as Sicilians criminals those with record of arrest those with instability of purpose as criminals but he added organization criminals those with record of arrest those who have engaged in several types of crime corsicans recommended Sicilians could lead to Mafia through his CIA Mafia activities

Harvey became Close Associates with Chicago mobster Johnny roselli recall that according to Revel the corsan Assassins were met at the Mexican border by a representative of the Chicago Mafia so what do you think is it possible that the CIA Bill Harvey through contacts from the ZR rifle program approached marsai mob boss Antoine gini who hired Corin assassins to do the deed one of whom was Lucian sarti
