This program was recorded in one, 60-minute segment.
Introduction: Most of the program details the assassination of OUN/B leader Stephan Bandera. Blamed on the KGB, the killing was–in all likelihood–performed by BND (German foreign intelligence and the successor to the Reinhard Gehlen “org”) or other Underground Reich-connected elements, possibly elements of CIA.
The broadcast centers on disinformation (disseminated by W.A.C.C.FL.-related elements) pointing to Lee Harvey Oswald as a KGB-trained assassin.
Attempting to pin the assassination on the Soviets and/or Cubans, these elements spurred many liberals to endorse the “Oswald as lone-nut” hypothesis. They were afraid that the assassination could lead to nuclear war, if the perception gained traction that Oswald was a communist. A central element in this disinformation ploy was an attempt to connect the JFK assassination to the death of Stephan Bandera, allegedly performed by an KGB assassin named Bogdan Stashynsky.
Murdered on the same day that Lee Harvey Oswald “defected” to the Soviet Union, Bandera’s killing was linked to Oswald’s alleged killing of JFK by elements associated with the W.A.C.C.F.L. (the World Anti-Communist Congress for Freedom and Liberation–the forerunner of the World Anti-Communist League.)
W.A.C.C.F.L. elements disseminated the lie that Oswald was trained at the same facility as Stashynsky, and that the JFK hit was part of a Soviet program of assassination of Western political leaders. It should be noted that W.A.C.C.F.L.-related elements also figured prominently in the “handling” of Oswald in New Orleans, Dallas and (possibly) the Soviet Union.
Those W.A.C.C.F.L. elements were closely associated with the OUN/B and the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations, a consortium of Eastern European fascist groups inextricably linked with the Gehlen organization, the BND, the CIA and the Underground Reich.
The disinformation that Oswald was a KGB assassin was inserted into a Senate Subcommittee report by Sen. Thomas Dodd, with assistance from elements of CIA.
A member of the U.S. prosecutorial staff at Nuremberg., this former FBI agent (Dodd) was close to the American Security Council (ASC), a domestic fascist group. With its roots in the Hitler-Goebbels Anti-Comintern, the American Security Council was a key American link to the former World Anti-Communist League or WACL. Created by former FBI agents disgruntled at the demise of Senator Joseph McCarthy’s “investigations,” the American Security Council coalesced around the files of Harry Jung’s American Vigilance Intelligence Federation. Virulently anti-Semitic, Jung’s organization was part of the Anti-Comintern prior to World War II.
Counting among its ranks some of the most prominent names on the far right, the organization kept track of people it considered “subversive,” sharing political intelligence with prospective employers (particularly defense contractors). The ASC hated Kennedy and it is not, therefore, altogether surprising that Dodd helped to disseminate the disinformation that Lee Harvey Oswald had been trained in assassination by the KGB. With CIA assistance, Dodd inserted this Bandera-linked disinformation into a Senate Subcommittee report. This disinformation, with roots in the same WACL milieu as the ASC, led liberals to cover-up the assassination out of fear that public perception that a communist killed the President would lead to a Third World War.
It is also interesting and very possibly relevant that the disinformation about Oswald/Stashynsky and the KGB was first called to the attention of Julien Sourwine by OUN/B operative Lev Dobriansky, who later served as Reagan’s ambassador to the Bahamas, while his daughter Paula served on Reagan’s National Security Council. Paula Dobriansky later served as an Assistant Secretary of State under George W. Bush and headed the Tibet desk for a time.
Dodd’s role in this affair is all the more interesting when one considers the possibility that Oswald may have ordered his weapons while working for Dodd’s Subcommittee. Investigating the mail-order firearms business, the Dodd committee focused on the two firms from which Oswald allegedly purchased his weapons. Both Seaport Traders and Klein’s sporting goods, from which Oswald allegedly ordered his weapons, were under investigation by the Dodd Subcommittee. Oswald was apparently extraordinarily interested in mail-order guns, a strange way for a prospective assassin to acquire weaponry. In 1963 in Texas, he could have purchased his guns over the counter with no trace of the transaction.
Program Highlights Include:
- Evidence that the Stashynsky cover story was fabricated.
- Review of the Crusade For Freedom–a covert operation that spawned the Nazi wing of the GOP.
- The role of the OUN/B in the CFF and in the Reagan administration.
- The role of key CFF participants in the JFK assassination.

2. The second audio excerpt is from FTR #158, recorded on 6/6/1999. The documentation is from Deep Politics and the Death of JFK by Peter Dale Scott. The disinformation that Oswald was a KGB assassin was inserted into a Senate Subcommittee report by Sen. Thomas Dodd.

Paula Dobriansky later served as an Assistant Secretary of State under George W. Bush and headed the Tibet desk for a time.
. . . . [General Charles] Wiloughby, in particular, was also part of the leading defense-industrial lobby the American Security Council, along with politically active army reserve officers like Lev Dobriansky, who first brought the issue of Bogdan Stashynsky and the alleged murder training school to the attention of Sourwine and the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee. . . .
. . . . Senator Dodd was on the ASC payroll when he generated the Senate subcommittee report on Stashynsky’s supposed murder training school. . . .
3a. As indicated above, Dobriansky served as Reagan’s ambassador to the Bahamas, while his daughter Paula served on Reagan’s National Security Council, ultimately becoming an Assistant Secretary of State during the George W. Bush admistrations.
We note, in passing, that the Bahamas were an epicenter of operations for the Bank al-Taqwa, a major vehicle for funding the Afghan mujahadeen and, later, their offshoot Al-Qaeda. (Offshore entities used to fund the Afghan mujahadin and Al-Qaeda were set up by Baudoin Dunand, a friend of, protege of, and attorney for Francois Genoud.)
Paul Dobriansky headed the Tibet desk at the State Department, working with the CIA and SS-connected Dalai Lama. Paula Dobriansky has been very critical of Obama’s policy toward Ukraine.
“Undersecretary for Democracy and Global Affairs”; U.S. Department of State: Archive.
The Office of the Under Secretary for Democracy and Global Affairs, headed by Dr. Paula J. Dobriansky, coordinates U.S. foreign relations on a variety of global issues, including democracy, human rights, and labor; environment, oceans, health and science; population, refugees, and migration; women’s issues; and trafficking in persons and avian and pandemic influenza.
Since her appointment in 2001, Under Secretary Dobriansky has also served concurrently as the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues. In this capacity, she is the U.S. government’s point person on Tibet policy matters, including: support for dialogue between the Chinese and the Dalai Lama or his representatives; promotion of human rights in Tibet; and efforts to preserve Tibet’s unique cultural, religious and linguistic identity.
. . . . Many surviving OUN‑B members fled to Western Europe and the United States – occasionally with CIA help – where they quietly forged political alliances with right-wing elements. “You have to understand, we are an underground organization. We have spent years quietly penetrating positions of influence,” one member told journalist Russ Bellant, who documented the group’s resurgence in the United States in his 1988 book, “Old Nazis, New Right, and the Republican Party.” In Washington, the OUN‑B reconstituted under the banner of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA), an umbrella organization comprised of “complete OUN‑B fronts,” according to Bellant. By the mid-1980’s, the Reagan administration was honeycombed with UCCA members, with the group’s chairman Lev Dobriansky, serving as ambassador to the Bahamas, and his daughter, Paula, sitting on the National Security Council. Reagan personally welcomed Stetsko, the Banderist leader who oversaw the massacre of 7000 Jews in Lviv, into the White House in 1983.
“Your struggle is our struggle,” Reagan told the former Nazi collaborator. “Your dream is our dream.” . . . .
4a. We review analysis of the Crusade For Freedom–the covert operation that brought the OUN/B operatives into the country and also supported their guerilla warfare in Ukraine, conducted up until the early 1950’s. (We covered this in AFA #1 and FTR #777, as well as FTR #875.) Conceived by Allen Dulles, overseen by Richard Nixon, publicly represented by Ronald Reagan and realized in considerable measure by William Casey, the CFF ultimately evolved into a Nazi wing of the GOP.
. . . . Frustration over Truman’s 1948 election victory over Dewey (which they blamed on the “Jewish vote”) impelled Dulles and his protégé Richard Nixon to work toward the realization of the fascist freedom fighter presence in the Republican Party’s ethnic outreach organization. As a young congressman, Nixon had been Allen Dulles’s confidant. They both blamed Governor Dewey’s razor-thin loss to Truman in the 1948 presidential election on the Jewish vote. When he became Eisenhower’s vice president in 1952, Nixon was determined to build his own ethnic base. . . .
. . . . Vice President Nixon’s secret political war of Nazis against Jews in American politics was never investigated at the time. The foreign language-speaking Croatians and other Fascist émigré groups had a ready-made network for contacting and mobilizing the Eastern European ethnic bloc. There is a very high correlation between CIA domestic subsidies to Fascist ‘freedom fighters’ during the 1950’s and the leadership of the Republican Party’s ethnic campaign groups. The motive for the under-the-table financing was clear: Nixon used Nazis to offset the Jewish vote for the Democrats. . . .
. . . . In 1952, Nixon had formed an Ethnic Division within the Republican National Committee. Displaced fascists, hoping to be returned to power by an Eisenhower-Nixon ‘liberation’ policy signed on with the committee. In 1953, when Republicans were in office, the immigration laws were changed to admit Nazis, even members of the SS. They flooded into the country. Nixon himself oversaw the new immigration program. As Vice President, he even received Eastern European Fascists in the White House. . .
4b. More about the composition of the cast of the CFF:
. . . . As a young movie actor in the early 1950s, Reagan was employed as the public spokesperson for an OPC front named the ‘Crusade for Freedom.’ Reagan may not have known it, but 99 percent for the Crusade’s funds came from clandestine accounts, which were then laundered through the Crusade to various organizations such as Radio Liberty, which employed Dulles’s Fascists. Bill Casey, who later became CIA director under Ronald Reagan, also worked in Germany after World War II on Dulles’ Nazi ‘freedom fighters’ program. When he returned to New York, Casey headed up another OPC front, the International Rescue Committee, which sponsored the immigration of these Fascists to the United States. Casey’s committee replaced the International Red Cross as the sponsor for Dulles’s recruits. Confidential interviews, former members, OPC; former members, British foreign and Commonwealth Office. . . .
5. The broadcast concludes with analysis of the profound overlap of the key figures in the Crusade for Freedom and the assassination of President Kennedy. Allen Dulles was a key Warren Commission member, widely viewed as a key orchestrator of the cover-up. Richard Nixon was in Dallas Texas on 11/22/1963 and lied about it to two FBI agents in February of 1964. (The profound links between the Kennedy assassination and Watergate is discussed in, among other programs, The Guns of November, Part 3, FTR #253 and Miscelaneous Archive Show M59.)
Ronald Reagan helped frustrate Jim Garrison’s investigation by refusing to extradite Edgar Eugene Bradley to New Orleans as requested and subsequently served on the Rockefeller Commission investigating possible CIA participation in the assassination of JFK. (Predictably, the Rockefeller Commission found none, which is not credible.)
6. George H.W. Bush was circulating between Dallas and Houston, claiming that he can’t remember where he was and what he was doing on the day of the President’s assassination. (Discussion of Bush and the JFK assassination is detailed in FTR #712.)
While serving as chairman of the Republican National Committee, the elder George Bush shepherded the Nazi émigré community into position as a permanent branch of the Republican Party.
. . . . It was Bush who fulfilled Nixon’s promise to make the ‘ethnic emigres’ a permanent part of Republican politics. In 1972, Nixon’s State Department spokesman confirmed to his Australian counterpart that the ethnic groups were very useful to get out the vote in several key states. Bush’s tenure as head of the Republican National Committee exactly coincided with Laszlo Pasztor’s 1972 drive to transform the Heritage Groups Council into the party’s official ethnic arm. The groups Pasztor chose as Bush’s campaign allies were the émigré Fascists whom Dulles had brought to the United States. . . .
I recently finished reading “The Hitler Legacy” and, although I have a few unresolved questions, it was quite good. I just bought “The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government” by David Talbot. I just started reading it — and it’s a page-turner. Dave, or has any other listener read “The Devil’s Chessboard” yet, and what did you think? Thanks!
