“He was a guy who believed that every person should determine their own destiny and every country should do the same.” “ could not determine its own destiny and this was so big with Dussaq,” Wilcox told The Post. The CIA-sponsored Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and continued attempts by Kennedy’s administration to kill Fidel Castro finally prompted Dussaq to put his sinister “Hydra-K” assassination plot into motion, according to Bazata’s diaries. “He delegated Bazata, when the time was right - after the assassination’s shock had dissipated - to tell the public the truth about what happened in hopes America’s leaders would change and allow sovereign nations like Cuba to decide their own fate rather than have America decide it for them,” Wilcox writes. Around this time, Dussaq, according to Bazata’s diaries, grew increasingly angry with the United States’ dominance and exploitation of Cuba.ĭussaq, according to Bazata’s diaries, launched the assassination plot to make a point to America about its leaders’ manipulation of smaller countries. Within two years, according to Freedom of Information Act requests, he began infiltrating community groups in Hollywood and Mexico, if not elsewhere, on behalf of the FBI, Wilcox writes. Dussaq, meanwhile, took a job as a Prudential insurance agent in Los Angeles. “ … Waldo Logan says that he is the only man he has ever known who is entirely without fear.”įollowing the war, Bazata became a world-class spy and underground operative working for the CIA and other intelligence agencies. “He is keen, adaptable … intelligent … and a dirty fighter conversant with jujitsu and the commando type of close combat fighting,” the OSS official wrote. One top-ranked OSS official told his counterparts in London that Dussaq, who spoke six languages, was an exceptional athlete and a master of “unusual and hazardous work of a physical nature,” references to earlier work as a deep-sea diver, treasure hunter and Hollywood movie stuntman. Dussaq quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a lieutenant instructor for the elite 101 st Airborne Division, the “Screaming Eagles.” However, the US Army was desperate for infantrymen at the time and ultimately accepted him. The son of a Cuban diplomat, he had tried to enlist after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor but was deemed a potential security risk. He’s also credited with bluffing a German general into believing he was surrounded by American troops, leading to the capture of up to 500 Nazis.ĭussaq - who was born in Buenos Aires and educated in Geneva and Cuba - became a naturalized US citizen in 1942. Dussaq’s larger-than-life legend began here: He was nicknamed “Captain Bazooka” for demonstrating the Army’s new anti-tank rocket launchers to the Maquis, French resistance guerrillas. The bond deepened in 1944, when both men were part of WWII’s Operation Jedburgh, in which more than 250 American and Allied paratroopers jumped behind enemy lines across France, the Netherlands and Belgium to fight against German occupation. The mission failed, but the pair’s bond was sealed forever after Dussaq saved Bazata’s life. In his diaries, Bazata wrote that the two men first met in Havana, Cuba, during the early 1930s, when Bazata, a US Marine, was given his first mission as a hitman: to assassinate a Cuban revolutionary. “He was there at the birth of the CIA as an early and major player in that murkiest of worlds … He was an insider.” “Douglas Bazata was deeply embedded in the world of secrets, especially those surrounding JFK’s death,” Wilcox writes. Wilcox’s latest book, “ Target: JFK, The Spy Who Killed Kennedy?,” which goes on sale Nov. The diaries reveal that Dussaq might even have fired the fatal “shot or shots” that killed the 35th president of the United States, according to author Robert K. The never-before-revealed diaries of Douglas DeWitt Bazata, a decorated officer for the United States Office of Strategic Services - the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency - claim that his longtime close friend and fellow spy, René Alexander Dussaq, was a “primary organizer and plotter” of Kennedy’s assassination on Nov.
