  • The PEPE Letters - article on the Kennedys and King website.
  • The JFK Assassination Chokeholds : Books - Amazon.ca
  • The Man Who Knew Too Much: Dick Russell, Dick: Amazon.ca: Books
  • Paul came across the Pepe letters sent from Cuba in 1962 to Mexico on the Mary Ferrell site.
  • The Pepe letters were created to implicate Castro & the Cubans in the pending assassination of JFK.
  • When reading the letters from 1962, Paul recognized patterns with the Pedro Charles letters sent in 63.
  • Postmarked shortly after the assassination, the letters were sent from Havana & dismissed by Hoover as a hoax.
  • How many people in November 1963 would have known about Oswald's trip to Mexico City?
  • Only the CIA or FBI in Mexico City would have known the information relayed in the letters?
  • Paul realized there is a sort of template for the style of suspicious letter writing, linked to the FPCC.
  • Information in the files indicate there were multiple plots to assassinate JFK, following a playbook created before 63.
  • There were FPFC links between Florida, Chicago, Dallas & rumoured Los Angeles assassination plots.
  • Ret. Army Capt. Richard Case Nagell had FPFC flyers in his vehicle at the time of his arrest.
  • When the ARRB was being set up, the ONI & Jesus Angleton destroyed significant assassination files.
  • Why did the Secret Service destroy all of Kennedy's travel files (including trips to Chicago & Florida)?
  • The FBI & Secret Service were worried about the Pepe letters, doing more work on these letters than the others.
  • If you find out who created the Pepe letters, will you discover that the same people are behind the assassination?
  • Previous researchers have also worked on the Pepe letters. Paul has expanded & enhanced this research with his own.
  • ZR-RIFLE was led by rouge high level CIA agents who were involved in the failed Bay of Pigs operation.
  • The sender of the letters from Havana was directly connected to the Fair Play For Cuba committee.
  • There was a central coordination of efforts regarding the assassination of JFK.
  • Were plans for JFK's assassination created after the Cuban Missile Crisis or before?
  • Isn't it suspicious that Lee Harvey Oswald was ALSO connected to the Fair Play For Cuba committee?
  • The FBI concluded that the Pepe letters were written by David Menendez, FPCC member in Tampa, Fl.
  • Menedez moved from Tampa back to Cuba where he works closely to Castro.
  • FBI reports state they were comparing Menedez writings to his correspondence with V.T. Lee.
  • Menendez & his wife were both heavily involved in the Fair Play For Cuba committee in Tampa.
  • The ZR-RIFLE is an executive action assassination program perfected by William Harvey.
  • Phony paper trails, provisions for using patsies & blaming the opponents are methods used in ZR-RIFLE.
  • Paul encourages people to look into the ZR-RIFLE program.
  • Oswald in Mexico City was a false flag event, to set the narrative that he was conspiring with Russian & Cuban agents.
  • Hoover confirmed that Oswald had been impersonated in Mexico.

  • Reading Chaos by Tom O'Neill became inspiration for Max's deep dig into the Jack Ruby case.
