Here are but a few short excerpts culled directly from my book. My father had left a government-type notebook and a large quantity of pink index cards in Navarro’s Continental. He eventually moved them into Sturgis’ home. The notebook contained the name of a person whose name was blacked out but whose phone number was not – 305-681-3591. The notebook had a large quantity of names and telephone numbers of Cuban exile revolutionaries, who were all well-known in the Miami area. It also contained lists of military equipment either obtained by, or needed by my father’s Cuban exile revolutionary group in the Everglades. The index cards were in a box stamped, “Received May 19, 1970, Office Customs Agent-in-Charge, Miami, Florida.” There were 188 pink cards, and they contained the names, descriptions and file numbers of persons arrested by the U.S. Customs on narcotics charges. Scott (Kaiser) told (name unknown) that he was called to Washington recently in connection with the Watergate case. Scott had an attaché case containing tapes, index cards and photostatic copies of photos of Frank Sturgis, Gordon Liddy, E. Howard Hunt, and others which he showed to (name unknown). The FBI had another informant, code-numbered “MM1115KS” (this is a different source than Navarette, and I surmise that it is my father), and this informant speculated that the burglary and wire-tapping of the Democratic National Headquarters in Washington may have been the outgrowth of rival political factions among Cubans struggling for power in the Republican Party. Sturgis has also said there was incriminating evidence that they had tried to retrieve. Some have pointed to that information as being photographic evidence of suspects in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, similar “evidence” that I had been told my father carried around in his attaché’ case. Whether this evidence and/or (photographs) were of the shooters in situ or just pictures of them out of context was never divulged. If my father told the FBI, even in strictest confidence, that he had photographic evidence pointing to suspects other than Lee Oswald, anybody could see that it could have placed him in a very dangerous situation. He would have had the FBI, obeying the directive from J. Edgar Hoover to toe the line on the “single assassin” theory on one side, and the possible assassination conspirators on the other – with my father in the middle. The very definition of being between a “rock and a hard place.” Could it be that the photos my father was carrying in his attaché case may have possibly been of those involved in the Kennedy assassination? Had he been carrying those photos around for quite some time, or could he have obtained those photos prior to or during the Watergate break ins? Why would my father be showing them off to Aldo Vera, Higinio “Nino” Diaz and others around August 23, 1973? If they were photos of individuals in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963, were those photos, my father’s “get-out-of-jail-free” card? In other words, “you mess with me, and I’ll blow this whole thing wide open”? Could this be the reason why he never spent enough time in jail to see any real prison time? Even between a “rock and a hard place,” a bright or a gutsy guy can play both sides against each other, without getting crushed. Photographic evidence of a conspiracy could act as a “Sword of Damocles” over the collective heads of the conspirators. At the same time, keeping the FBI on notice by threatening to release the proof, and thereby blowing up Hoover’s nice tight “lone nut” package.
