This is the singular work of David Holladay produced in the 1973-1974 timeframe. It was produced on IBM punch cards at MIT. The use of IBM punch cards was free. You could use the equipment to type, duplicate, sort, and print cards for free. The actual cards were free as well! One drawback is that you only got uppercase. Each data card was duplicated, so each card appears sorted by name and context. As I recall, this project made use of 3,000 IBM cards.

The only surviving copy that David has is a poor-quality Xerox. Recently, this was scanned into a pdf. Unfortunately, the pdf is not very satisfactory. Little real information could be extracted. Obviously, this cannot be used for current research. The intention of producing this here is to show how much information could be gathered by an MIT undergraduate in 1974 in his spare time while supporting himself by worKing in the dining halls for $3.50/hour. Remember that books, magazines, postage, and other supplies cost real money. How did David obtain a copy of Who's Who in the CIA? He wrote the author in East Germany and got a free copy.
As you read the introduction below, remember it was written in 1974, well before Google and Wikipedia. Speaking of Google, I needed to be reminded of who Emilio Santana was. He was part of the JFK assasssination team, and is referenced in the book The Taking of America, 1-2-3. Remember that accurate information of all of these affairs was hard to obtain at that time. All text from this point on is based on the original 1974 printout of IBM punch cards.
This is a cross-referenced index of information on the power struggles at the highest level of American politics. Specifically, these are the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy, the forced abdication of President Johnson, and the present battle over the Presidency. The function of this index is to sort out this information and point to any interconnections.
The roots of the John Kennedy assassination are in Cuba and the Bay of Pigs. Havana used to be a pleasure center for the whole eastern seaboard. It was a center of gambling, heroin smuggling, graft, and prostitution. Meyer Lansky and his mafia partners controlled most of the action. Then came Castro and the Cuban revolution. He threw out the mafia, the pushers, as well as the capitalists. Both the mafia and the CIA wanted the island back. Lansky put a million-dollar contract on Castro. The Trafficante family moved "a fortune in gold" to Miami to go to Havana when the Bay of Pigs soldiers of fortune liberated the city.
Richard Nixon was closely linked with the invasion of Cuba. He, as Vice President, was the White House action officer for the invasion. He was closely connected with the government operatives and underworld figures who wanted the Bay of Pigs. Nixon was the driving force for it at the White House level. During the 1960 TV debates, Kennedy suggested an invasion of Cuba. Nixon, angry that his issue was pre-empted, attacked Kennedy's proposal. It was a complete failure. The CIA forces that survived were held for ransom. They were bitter over the lack of air support. Later, when Nixon became President, he would fill his staff with those who were involved in the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
The anti-Castro Cubans wanted to keep fighting till they won. However, after the Cuban missile crisis of Oct. 1962, President Kennedy started to crack down on the anti-Castro adventurers. In the summer of 1963, the FBI raided a training ground for a second invasion of Cuba at No-Name-Key in Florida. Besides arresting 4 out of 5 Watergate characters, others arrested were to be intimately involved in the assassination of Kennedy.
The plot to kill Kennedy began out of middle-level CIA trainers and anti-Castro Cubans. The planning was quite detailed and rested on the triangulation of fire on a slow-moving open motorcade and setting up Oswald.
Lee Harvey Oswald was a government agent for a long time. He had a secret clearance in the marines, was a spy in Russia, and was a low-level agent for the CIA and FBI in Dallas. He was sent on a lot of strange missions, which he faithfully obeyed; he handed out Fair Play for Cuba committee handouts in New Orleans and got into fights. But, at the same time, Oswald doubles were incriminating him.
When John Kennedy visited Dallas, he was steered into Dealey Plaza, into a trap. Unfortunately, it was also a trap for Lee Harvey Oswald. When it looked like he would talk, he was killed by a friend, Jack Ruby. The evidence was rearranged, ignored, exaggerated, or destroyed to prove Oswald's guilt. Too bad he couldn't defend himself. The Warren commission's sole job was to calm the American people. So they spent more time looking at Ruby's mother's dental records than at Oswald's government records. They had to invent a bullet that could make two right-angle turns, pause for half a second between bodies, gain weight, jump stretchers and look untouched (CE399). Needless to say, the Warren Commission scientifically proved Oswald's guilt.
LBJ was in power now. He would reverse Kennedy's policies on Vietnam and the oil depletion allowance. Carl Oglesby of the Boston Phoenix has written about a power split in America between what he terms The Yankees and the Cowboys. The Yankees are the establishment, the Rockefeller satellite banks, the Council on Foreign Relations, the multi-national corporations, and the Manhattan-based corporate elite. The Cowboys are the southern rim, the new money, Howard Hughes, Getty, Hunt, textiles, the military-industrial complex, and mutual funds. Was Kennedy a Yankee? Johnson and Nixon are Cowboys. There problems with the Yankee-Cowboy thesis, though, the Rockefeller-Mellon-Carnegie-DuPont empires were much more powerful than the combined Cowboy forces. Hence the Yankees can dictate to a President, regardless. Clark Clifford and his group dictated his Vietnam policy and abdication to Johnson.
Robert Kennedy had just won the California primary when he was killed. The lone crazed assassin was Sirhan Sirhan, but Kennedy was really killed by a man named Thane Cesar. He shot at the same time, only at point-blank range. Every assassination needed a lone crazed assassin. Everyone has heard of Oswald, but who knows about Emilio Santana? Who has heard James Earl Ray's story about what happened? All three assassinations profoundly affected the mood and direction of this country. These were not random events; they had a clear and decisive effect.
After Robert Kennedy's assassination, we were left with Humphrey vs. Nixon. Nixon, a Cowboy linked to the "Havana connection," nevertheless did the bidding of the eastern establishment. Foreign relations, under Kissinger, and the dollar went as Rockefeller, and the Chase Manhattan bank would have wanted it. However, Nixon was trying to grab too much power for himself.
Nixon made sure he would win the 1972 elections. He had his agents sabotage and sabotage until only McGovern was left. There is some evidence of a Bremer-Segretti link. The Wallace party was sabotaged in California with the help of some American Nazis. The Eagleton shock treatment matter was leaked in the middle of the campaign. Nice. Nixon had standby plans to cancel the elections and declare martial law (after his provocateurs caused the violence) if it looked like Richard M. Nixon might lose. There was too much money at stake; this had to be a sure thing.
On December 8, 1972, Dorothy Hunt, wife of the Watergate figure, was killed in a plane that crashed because of sabotage. This is not published since no matter how much the media seems to hate Nixon, they never bring out him being responsible for murder. However, the brilliant work of Sherman Skolnick has revealed to the world the sabotage, robbery, and murder of flight 553 at Midway.
James McCord, a Yankee, worked as head of security in the Cowboy CREEP. It is believed by many that McCord deliberately got himself and the others caught in the Watergate building. This explains the careful eastern establishment attack on Nixon, then Agnew. Then Nixon again. Gerald Ford is Rockefeller's man, a Bilderberger (a corporate elite US-Europe group that meets secretly, dominated by the Rockefeller interests). Once Ford is President, Nelson Rockefeller probably will be the new Vice President. It will be obvious who is running the show, with Nelson solving every crisis, espeCIAlly his profits crisis, while Ford is still learning about being President. Despite the tendency to vote for Nixon, Americans don't like to vote for an obvious flunky. Gerald will be forgotten, like Agnew, and it will be Nelson Rockefeller in 1976.
