THE KREMLIN CONNECTION

A Secret Service Officer's Stunning Revelations

In October 1962, a somber President Kennedy appeared on nationwide TV to tell the American people that U.S. military reconnaissance had discovered an ominous buildup of offensive missiles in Cuba. The missiles, which were fully capable of striking many major cities in the eastern half of the country, had been supplied by the Soviet Union and were being manned by specially trained Soviet troops. Kennedy demanded the immediate removal of the missiles and declared an air and naval blockade of Cuba to prevent any further shipment of offensive weapons to the island.

At no time during the Cold War had the massive forces of East and West appeared so close to actual armed conflict, and for more than a week, the world held its breath.

Finally, on the evening of Friday, November 2, 1962, after weeks of tension in which the United States had been pushed to the brink of war with the Soviet Union, Kennedy announced the resolution of the Cuban missile crisis and the end of the threat. A convoy of Soviet ships bound for Cuba with military hardware had turned back, and the Soviet government had agreed to dismantle the missile bases and take its weapons home.

The world breathed a collective sigh of relief. The forces of freedom and justice had won out over naked international aggression in an eye-to-eye confrontation. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev (who had boasted a few years earlier that "We will bury you!") was forced to back down. As Kennedy told close confidants: "I think the other guy just blinked."

It was a moment of supreme national triumph, but it also may have led directly to one of the greatest tragedies in American history. In a brutally ironic twist of fate, America's celebrated victory in the Cuban missile crisis may have set in motion the very plot that would result, just over a year later, in the murder of the 35th President of the United States.

This was the stunning conclusion of former Secret Service officer and former FBI fingerprint expert John Norris, who spent more than 18 years protecting four U.S. Presidents and studying the motions, mannerisms and motives of the powerful Communist regimes that opposed them. Norris, who served in the Secret Service's Executive Protective Service, retired in 1975 with the rank of captain in the Foreign Mission Division. He began his intensive personal investigation of the Kennedy case in earnest during the early 1970s while he was still an active Secret Service officer. That investigation spanned more than two decades, and his intimate knowledge of federal security agencies and how they work was unsurpassed.

Norris was convinced that the plot to kill Kennedy was hatched within the walls of the Kremlin itself only a few weeks after the end of the Cuban missile crisis, and that it was a desperate, face-saving attempt at retribution by an angered and embarrassed Nikita Khrushchev. What follows is a reconstruction of the deadly scenario as Norris believed it began unfolding nearly a year before the fatal shots were fired in Dallas.
