Three bums were arrested in a boxcar behind the grassy knoll. They were photographed and the AP sent the photo out on it's "wires" to newspapers that subscribed. Two hours later the photo was recalled, not mentioned again. Some papers published the photo they received in that 2-hour window. Two of the bums were later arrested breaking into the Watergate Hotel DNC HQ. They were called "the Plumbers" in Watergate hearings.

The third man in the group claimed to be the triggerman. He was a professional assassin of political figures. He was executed for conviction of assassinating a Federal Judge, an unrelated crime. He was Charles Harrelson, father to actor Woody of "Cheers" fame.

On November 22, 1963 Richard Nixon was meeting with General Vernon Walters in downtown Dallas Texas. Walters was head of the "Bay of Pigs" US military coordination with Cuban exiles. Nixon was White House liaison with General Walters preparing for the Bay of Pigs invasion and US support. The two plumbers arrested working for Nixon in the Watergate were veterans of that Bay of Pigs operation.

Nixon lost, JFK won, the govt support for the Bay of Pigs was withdrawn, and the invaders were slaughtered on the beach. JFK got many vows of vengeance against him for withholding US military support. Nixon's mob connections through Bebe Rebozo provided the Jack Ruby element, who was also connected to hitman Harrelson.

Any questions?
