Most people, like me, who watched the Establishment television news departments' coverage of what was happening inside the Dallas police station, between the time of Oswald's arrest on Friday, November 22, 1963 and his elimination on Sunday morning on November 24, 1963, did not focus more on the possible involvement of "The Company" or former "Company"-linked people in JFK's elimination. A major reason was because none of the Establishment mass media reporters seemed to indicate to viewers that the Mayor of Dallas on November 22, 1963 was the brother of the former CIA Deputy Director, Charles Cabell, that JFK had fired, along with then-CIA Director and later Warren Commission member Allen Dulles, following the failure of the CIA-organized 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba to overthrow the Castroo-led government in Cuba.
According to Henry Hurt's 1985 book Reasonable Doubt: An Investigation Into The Assassination of John F. Kennedy, it was "known that Cabell and his associates were vehement in their rage toward what they perceived as President Kennedy's `desertion' on the morning of the invasion--the President's refusal to send in military forcee to ensure victory." And according to former New Orleans Distric Attorney's On The Trail Of The Assassins book, after JFK fired then-Dallas Mayor Earle Cabell's brother in 1961, "General Cabell's subsequent hatred of John F. Kennedy became an open secret in Washington."
In addition, when then-Dallas Civil Liberties Union President Olds and other local ACLU officials met in Dallas's Plaza Hotel in the late evening of November 22, 1963--after then-Dallas Police Captain Will Fritz had refused Old's request to be allowed to meet with Oswald--"someone suggested `Call the Mayor,'" according to Jim Bishop's The Day Kennedy Was Shot book. Yet when the then-Dallas Civil Liberties Union President "Olds got on the phone again and asked for Mayor Earl Cabell, former Deputy CIA Director Charles Cabell's brother, and "gave his name and rank," he was "told that the mayor was busy;" and he "wondered what could keep a mayor busy after 11 p.m.," according to the same book.
Then on November 24, 1963, at the very moment Oswald was silenced by Jack Ruby, "Chief Curry, ludicrously, was upstairs in his office responding to a phone call from Dallas mayor Earle Cabell, and had not checked for himself to see if orders were being carried out properly in the basement," according to the Who Was Jack Ruby? book by Seth Kantor. Yet when he testified before the Warren Commission on July 13, 1964, the former CIA Deputy Director Cabell's brother apparently falsely claimed that Dallas Police Chief Curry telephoned him at the very moment Oswald was being transferred.
But, although "in most countries, a powerful individual who also had a top position in a major espionage apparatus and had been at odds with the departed leader would be high on the list of suspects," according to former New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison's On The Trail Of The Assassins book, the brother of Dallas's mayor on November 22, 1963, "who fit the description perfectly, was never even called as a witness before the Warren Commission." And none of the network television news department reporters covering JFK's elimination on TV between November 22, 1963 and November 25, 1963 seemed to inform viewers that Dallas's then-mayor was the brother of the CIA Deputy Director whom JFK had fired.
So only after Oliver Stone's JFK movie was released in the early 1990's, and it then seemed safer to personally do more research about what actually happened in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, did I, myself, realize that Dallas's then-mayor was the brother of the CIA deputy director whom JFK had fired.
