"I was in Dallas when we got the son of a bitch and I was in Los
Angeles when we got the little bastard.. We Took Care of That SOB "
--David "Didi" Morales
The CIA's war on the world has claimed an estimated 12 million to 20
million
victims, far more than the best estimates attributed to Adolph
Hitler's
'Holocaust' of World War II.
Evidence That the CIA Murdered Bobby Kennedy
The RFK assassination was, like the assassinations of JFK, Malcolm X,
Martin
Luther King, Jr., and other prominent figures, a political murder
committed
by operatives and agents of the US government (including, but limited
to,
the CIA and FBI), in conjunction with local police (operating as CIA
cutouts), and intelligence-connected organized crime figures and
mercenaries.
There is overwhelming evidence that the RFK murder was a CIA
operation
involving the Los Angeles Police Department.
More proof continues to emerge, including this fresh piece of
evidence
uncovered by BBC investigator Shane O'Sullivan. Conducting research
for his
own film on the RFK assassination, O'Sullivan has identified and
corroborated the presence and identities of three former CIA
operatives at
the crime scene:

David Sanchez Morales was born on 26th August, 1925. He spent his
early life in Phoenix, Arizona. A Mexican-American, Morales was later
to be nicknamed El Indio because of his dark skin and Indian features.
As a boy his best friend was Ruben Carbajal. After his mother divorced
his father he was virtually adopted by Carbajal's parents.
Morales attended Arizona State College in Tempe (now Arizona State
University) during the 1944-45 school year, before moving to Los
Angeles and attending the University of Southern California
(1945-46).
Morales joined the United States Army in 1946 and after basic training
was sent to Germany where he was part of the Allied occupation force.
According to Ruben Carbajal, Morales was recruited into army
intelligence in 1947. However, officially he was a member of 82nd
Airborne. It was during this time he began associating with Ted
Shackley and William Harvey.
In 1951 became a employee of the Central Intelligence Agency while
retaining his army cover. The following year he joined the Directorate
for Plans, an organization instructed to conduct covert anti-Communist
operations around the world.
In 1953 he returned to the United States and after a spell at the
University of Maryland he assumed cover as a State Department
employee. Morales became involved in CIA's Black Operations. This
involved a policy that was later to become known as Executive Action
(a plan to remove unfriendly foreign leaders from power). This
including a coup d'état that overthrew the Guatemalan government of
Jacobo Arbenz in 1954 after he introduced land reforms and
nationalized the United Fruit Company. After the removal of Arbenz he
joined the staff of the US embassy in Caracas (1955-58). During this
time he became known as the CIA's top assassin in Latin America.
Morales moved to Cuba in 1958 and helped to support the government of
Fulgencio Batista. In 1960 Wayne S. Smith was a State Department
officer in the American Embassy in Havana. Smith tells the story of
being in a bar in Havana with Morales. After a heavy drinking session
Morales began talking about the CIA’s secret operations that involved
frog men operating out of Guantanamo Bay. Smith told Gaeton Fonzi (The
Last Investigation) that Morales was very indiscrete when drunk.
According to fellow CIA agent, Robert N. Wall: "He (Morales) was a
rough-neck. He was a bully, a hard-drinker and big enough to get away
with a lot of stuff other people couldn't get away with.”

In November, 1961, William Harvey arranged for Morales to be posted to
JM/WAVE, the CIA station in Miami. Morales was operations chief for
the CIA's covert operation to train and infiltrate teams into Cuba to
destabilize the Castro government. Morales reported directly to
veteran Agency covert operator Ted Shackley, who was the Agency’s
Miami bureau chief. In May, 1962, Morales was seconded to ZR/RIFLE,
the plot to assassinate Fidel Castro. During this period he worked
closely with David Atlee Phillips, Tracy Barnes, William Pawley,
Johnny Roselli and John Martino.
Some researchers such as Gaeton Fonzi, Larry Hancock, Noel Twyman,
James Richards and John Simkin believe that Morales was involved in
the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It has been suggested that
others involved included Carl E. Jenkins, Rafael Quintero, William
Pawley, Roy Hargraves, Edwin Collins, Steve Wilson, Herminio Diaz
Garcia, Tony Cuesta, Eugenio Martinez, Virgilio Gonzalez, Felipe Vidal
Santiago, Theodore Shackley, Grayston Lynch, Felix Rodriguez, Thomas
Clines, Gordon Campbell, Tony Sforza and William (Rip) Robertson.
According to CIA agent Tom Clines, Morales helped Felix Rodriguez
capture Che Guevara in 1965. "We all admired the hell out of the guy.
He drank like crazy, but he was bright as hell. He could fool people
into thinking he was stupid by acting stupid, but he knew about
cultural things all over the world. People were afraid of him. He was
big and aggressive, and he had this mystique. Stories about him
permeated the Agency. If the Agency needed someone action-oriented, he
was at the top of the list. If the U.S. government as a matter of
policy needed someone or something neutralized, Dave would do it,
including things that were repugnant to a lot of people.”
In 1966 Ted Shackley was placed in charge of CIA secret war in Laos.
He recruited Morales to take charge at Pakse, a black operations base
focused on political paramilitary action within Laos. Pakse was used
to launch military operations against the Ho Chi Minh Trial. In 1969
Morales moved to Vietnam where he officially worked as a Community
Development Officer for the International Development Agency.
Morales moved to Chile in 1970. He was a member of the team that used
$10 million in order to undermine left-wing forces in the country.
Morales told friends that he had personally eliminated several
political figures. He was also involved in helping Augusto Pinochet
overthrow Salvador Allende in September, 1973.
After arriving back in the United States Morales moved to Washington
where he became Consultant to the Deputy Director for Operations
Counter Insurgency and Special Activities. Larry Hancock believes that
during this period he provided advice to right-wing governments
(Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Brazil and Argentina) as part of
Operation Condor.
According to his friend, Ruben Carbajal, in the spring of 1973,
Morales talked about his involvement with the Bay of Pigs operation.
He claimed "Kennedy had been responsible for him having to watch all
the men he recruited and trained get wiped out". He added: "Well, we
took care of that SOB, didn't we?"
Another example of Morales indiscretion was allowing his photograph to
be taken by Kevin Schofield at the El Molino restaurant on 4th August,
1973. The picture appeared in the Arizona Republic with the following
text: “Feted by friends at a fiesta Saturday was former American
counsul to Cuba, David Sanchez, left, who was in that country when
Castro took over… In government service for 28 years, Sanchez is now
consultant in the office of deputy director for Operations Counter-
insurgency and Special Activities in Washington.”
Left to right: Bob and Florence Walton, David Morales, Joe Morales
(father),
Rose Morales (mother), Paul Morales (brother) and his wife (1977).
Soon afterwards Morales left the CIA. However, he continued to make
regular trips to Washington. When asked about this by his friend Ruben
Carbajal, Morales replied: “Oh, they run into some problems, I have to
go up there and take care of them. These people never let go of you.”
Morales built a new house at El Frita, which is about half-way between
Willcox and the Mexican border. Morales told another friend, Robert
Walton, that he had put in the best security system in the United
States. Walton said, “What do you need so much security for? You're
still thirty miles from the Mexican border.” Morales replied, “I'm not
worried about those people, I'm worried about my own."
Gaeton Fonzi, staff investigator for the House Select Committee on
Assassinations (HUCA) found out about Morales from CIA asset, Paul
Bethel, who worked for David Atlee Phillips. It was suggested that
Morales might have been the “Latin-looking” man seen with Lee Harvey
Oswald in New Orleans during the summer of 1963.
Fonzi had also read David Phillips’s autobiography, The Night Watch.
It includes a reference to a CIA agent who used the code-name Hector
(William (Rip) Robertson) and his “sidekick ‘El Indio’, a massive
American of Mexican and Indian extraction I had seen only briefly
during the revolt (the CIA-stage 1954 Guatemala coup) but was to work
with in other operations over the years.” El Indio was Morales.
When Fonzi interviewed David Atlee Phillips on behalf of the HSCA he
asked him about Morales. Phillips said that Morales was an unimportant
figure in the CIA and suggested that he might have died as a result of
his heavy drinking. At this stage Morales was still alive. What is
more, Morales was far from being an important figure, he had in fact
been Chief of Operations at JM/WAVE in 1963 and at the centre of the
operation to kill Fidel Castro. Fonzi also discovered that Morales had
worked very closely with John Rosselli, who also played a key role in
the plots against Castro. Rosselli was to be one of the first people
to be interviewed by the HSCA but went missing in July 1976. His body
was later discovered in the Intracoastal Waterway in North Miami. He
had been cut up and stuffed into a 55-gallon steel drum.
Morales began to worry about his own health during the HSCA
investigations. Rip Robertson had died in 1970 and could not be
interviewed. William Pawley committed suicide in 1977 when he was
asked to appear before the HSCA. The other key figure, in the
assassination of John F. Kennedy, CIA officer, Carl E. Jenkins, had
remained deeply undercover and was not being investigated by the
HSCA.
David Sanchez Morales made his last trip to Washington in early May,
1978. Ruben Carbajal had a drink with Morales a few days later.
Carbajal told him he looked unwell. He replied: “I don’t know what’s
wrong with me. Ever since I left Washington I haven’t been feeling
very comfortable”. That night he was taken to hospital. Carbajal went
to visit him the next morning. As Carbajal later recalled: “They
wouldn’t let no one in, they had his room surrounded by sheriff’s
deputies.” Later that day (8th May) the decision was taken to withdraw
his life support. Morales’s wife, Joanne, requested that there should
not be an autopsy.
In a letter sent to John R. Tunheim in 1994, Bradley E. Ayers claimed
that nine people based at JM/WAVE "have intimate operational knowledge
of the circumstances surrounding the assassination" of John F.
Kennedy. Ayers named David Sanchez Morales, Theodore Shackley,
Grayston Lynch, Felix Rodriguez, Thomas Clines, Gordon Campbell, Rip
Robertson, Edward Roderick and Tony Sforza as the men who had this
information.
Bradley E. Ayers was interviewed by Jeremy Gunn of the Assassination
Records Review Board in May, 1995. According to Gunn: “Ayers claims to
have found in the course of his private investigative work, a credible
witness who can put David Morales inside the Ambassador Hotel in Los
Angeles on the night of June 5, 1968 (RFK’s assassination)."
While researching a documentary, Shane O'Sullivan discovered a news
film of the Ambassador Hotel on the day Robert F. Kennedy was
assassinated. Bradley Ayers and other people who knew them, identified
David Sanchez Morales, Gordon Campbell and George Joannides as being
three men in the hotel that day. An article about this story appeared
in The Guardian and on BBC Newsnight on 20th November, 2006.
