A Secret Order: Investigating the High Strangeness and Synchronicity in the JFK Assassination

by H.P. Albarelli Jr.

Reporting new and never-before-published information about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, this investigation dives straight into the deep end, and seeks to prove the CIA’s involvement in one of the most controversial topics in American history. Featuring intelligence gathered from CIA agents who reported their involvement in the assassination, the case is broken wide open while covering unexplored ground. Gritty details about the assassination are interlaced throughout, while primary and secondary players to the murder are revealed in the in-depth analysis. Although a tremendous amount has been written in the nearly five decades since the assassination, there has never been, until now, a publication to explore the aspects of the case that seemed to defy explanation or logic.

[Swhirsch · Rating 4 out of 5]

A tantalizing cornucopia of the huge number of coincidences surrounding the web of characters involved with Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination of JFK. There is no underlying theory being purported by the writer and the content is exactly as stated in the title. Therefore at times the book reads like an investigators raw notebook instead of a coherent finished work. However, the coincidences are truly mind boggling, the sheer number staggering and their is surely something tying these together other than circumstance. For those seeking some sort of smoking gun will be highly disappointed.

For those sinking into the JFK assassination rabbit hole, Albarelli's work is a hurtling mass of the exceptionally odd, disturbing and bizarre scenarios surrounding this case. 'A Secret Order' will propel the reader onward from the authors previous publication 'A Terrible Mistake:The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War Experiments' that documents a dark Dante cum Mengele underworld of los desaparecedos in a swirling sea of LSD, mescalin and heroin haze.
'A Secret Order:Investigating the High Strangeness and Synchronicity in the JFK Assassination' explores a sea of information that surrounds the Manchurian Candidate, Project Bluebird, Artichoke, MK/NAOMI, MK/ULTRA, ZR/RIFLE, QJ/WIN, onto the thousand characters that circle Lee Oswald. In this 2013 publication there are eleven chapters, over four hundred pages, (twenty five of Notes) packed with the fruits of some brilliant investigative work. Chapters on Oswald contain dark shadows, particularly covering Mexico City, and Rose Cherami/Mercades offers new insights. There are one or two subjects that are too far out even for my mirror, but on the whole this is a book that contains an avalanche of revelations.
Amusing to notice that this author includes 'Albion Dreaming' by Andy Roberts as one of his research tools...a book I wrote a contribution towards.

Albarelli demonstrates that Oswald could easily been a victim of the human experimentation performed by main-stream psychiatrists in the 50's.
The Kennedy assassination is just the tip of the iceberg. Below the surface, we see that the CIA and US psychological establishment were busy continuing the work of the Nazis, justifying it as another Cold War arms race.

Albareilli has written a masterful investigative reporting on the JFK assassination. His investigation helps reveal the missing pieces of the puzzles of mysteries that surround the assassination of JFK. Looking forward to reading vole 2 .

A secret Order is a step outside of our socially created paradigm: What's a State Crime & Secret PSY ops have to do with it?

This publication is most highly recommend for the positive identification of State Crimes (SCAD).

"It is so important to understand that one of the primary means of immobilizing the American people politically today is to hold them in a state of confusion and which anything can be believed but nothing can be known, nothing of significance, that is. And the American people are more than willing to be held in this state because to know the truth-as apposed to only believe the truth-is to face an awful terror and to be no longer able to evade responsibility. It is precisely in moving from belief to knowledge that the citizen moves from irresponsibility to responsibility..." (Barrie Zwicker, author of Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-up of 9/11)

To the point, this publication by H.P. Albarelli jr is one of the most valuable all while possibly the most disturbing work I've come across. Some of the other authors I've read previously that might help to qualify to others some of the emotionally difficult feelings and distressing insights I had to struggle with while reading parts of this could be reflective in what I read from Carol Rutz or John W. DeCamp. One of the other authors that comes to my mind while reading this work is Servando Gonzalez's Psychological Warfare and the New World, The Secret War Against the American People.

Even though there were times I became physically sick while reading this work by Mr. Albarelli, I do feel that this is one of those kinds of documents I would want to keep close and guard it like a title to valuable property or academic certification because of what this information really means and how this factual material affects you personally. With that said, I'll point out I'm not some sort of expert and most strongly recommend that you take anything that I might present in my review of Mr. Albarelli's work with a major grain of salt until you do your own home work. Additionally, my views do not assume any author's endorsement of the others work. If nothing else, my final 5 seconds to get your attention will point out that there's a line between what you might think you know, compared to what the facts are, reasonable justification to take a couple of more seconds to read on.

I'm reminded of a quote from a different author while looking at the big picture regarding this work and my justification on why I most strongly recommend this publication for deprogramming and to positively comprehend what a state crime is (and how it impacts the quality of your life) can be reflective by the author James Moore referenced in the publication Family of Secrets where he notes that "History is not what we know; it is what has truly happened." He then comments that, "Often the reality of events is hard to process because it shakes our system of beliefs. A crazy, lone gunman is a much more comforting notion in our democracy that a vast apparatus that can bring down presidents. Give us a simple expiation that easily encapsulates the horrible and then we can retain forever all that we have held to be true."

You won't find a fuzzy and warm feeling reading this book by Mr. Albarelli. In fact, I'll be specific in my feelings in that this profoundly disturbing work scares the hell out of me and I would look closer at someone that's sitting there rolling their eyes all while claiming this isn't nothing but some crazy conspiracy, a major red flag because the idea about a "wing-nut conspiracy wacko" is a Psychological disinformation Warfare program to undermine your rights as a human being. I will point out that the understanding of "conspiracy theory" is the foundation on why the Constitution of the United Sates was created in the first place. But again I'm no expert but I can point to someone that is regarding "conspiracies".

SCAD,(State Crimes Against Democracy)as presented by Dr. Lance edHaven-Smith, the professor of Public Administration and Policy and the Associate Director of the Florida Institute of Government, notes "...the SCAD construct does not refer to a type of allegation or suspicion; it refers to a special type of transgression: [an attack from within on the political system's organizing principles.]

"If I call you a conspiracy theorist, it matters little whether you have actually claimed that a conspiracy exists or whether you have simply raised an issue that I would rather avoid . . . I twist the machinery of interaction so that you, not I, are now called to account. In fact, I have done even more. By labeling you, I strategically exclude you from the sphere where public speech, debate, and conflict occur."

"The term "conspiracy theory" is no ordinary phrase. It was deployed to have a certain connotation by CIA technocrats who are trained to break people psychologically, destroy relationships, tear apart governments, stir up old hatreds. [5] These are scientists who are part of an organization that has overthrown powerful regimes and is partly responsible for the collapse of the Soviet Union. The reach of these people should never be underestimated." For more details about all of this and how Lance DeHaven-Smith explains his quotes noted, I most strong recommend his exceptional publication that will allow one to gain that much more understanding on what the Secret Order will reveal to you. It's a matter of a crime, that is, a state crime and the attempt to cover it up. (SCAD)

Conspiracy Theory in America (Discovering America)

A more expansive customer review regarding A Secret Order [is] difficult because of my own personal struggle with cognitive dissonance creates a lot of extra work to push through the socially constructed bubble I've grown up with. Regardless if it's by my own creation or I was born into a previously programmed game, I am an example of a well indoctrinated American that sort of "assumed" years ago there are some serious screwball elements that the Warren Report claims but it's only been within the last few years that I started to understand why John F. Kennedy died and why it matters. A part of my attempt to understand my own failure in not being able to express my confusion/disagreement with what my government has claimed previously is reflective in a few more publications I most strongly recommend that will give you additional insight on why The Secret Order is so important.

JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters
A History of Modern Psychology
Waiting for 'Superman'

Why I'm here and why am I recommending this author? Katrina, the MSM and the reactions of the leadership in Washington and the initial government's "response". The other primary reason is 9/11. Just a couple of other publications I've read in connection to this work is noted below. These are only few as there are many more I've reviewed that specifically connect to the publication, A Secret Order. The first one, American Heart of Darkness was the publication that brought me here to this work by H.P. Albarelli jr in the first place.

American Heart of Darkness: Volume I:The Transformation of the American Republic into a Pathocracy
The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade
The CIA Doctors: Human Rights Violations by American Psychiatrists
The CIA's Secret Research on Torture: How Psychologists Helped Washington Crack the Code of Human Consciousness
AIDS, Opium, Diamonds, and Empire

Oswald and the CIA: The Documented Truth About the Unknown Relationship Between the U.S. Government and the Alleged Killer of JFK

Specific quotes from the publication, Oswald and the CIA noted below:

1) "The story that a marine who defected and threatened to give military secrets to the enemy was judged to be of only "relatively low national security interest" is dubious. The fact that the HSCA was misled to adds a dramatic and tragic perspective to this cover-up, and impresses one with the lengths to which the CIA was prepared to go to protect the secrets that lay in Oswald's files. Spinning tales is not done for sport, but rather to protect secrets. Oswald's early files are astonishing to read. They establish beyond any doubt that the CIA had a keen interest in him from the very day of his defection."

2) "At least one member of the Warren Commission knew all about the U-2 program, as he might also have known what steps, if any, the agency took after Oswald's defection. Allen Dulles had been CIA director at the time of Oswald's marine service, and he remained director until Kennedy fired him at the end of 1961"

3) "In 1959, Nixon and Dulles had cooperated to defeat the State Department recommendations to recognize the Castro regime. "Castro's actions when he returned to Cuba," Nixon wrote twenty years later, "convinced me he was indeed a Communist, and I sided strongly with Allen Dulles in presenting this view in NSC and other meetings."2; The Vice President's performance at the next NSC meeting was memorable, even though it did not mention the ongoing discussion about assassinating Castro. As we have seen, Nixon chose this moment to articulate a new American policy toward Cuba, as recorded in the minutes of the December 16, 1959, NSC meeting"

4) "Oswald had been an aviation electronics operator and "may have had access to confidential info." Actually, Oswald had access, at a minimum, to secret information while stationed at Atsugi as a consequence of his radar duties there. This much could have been ascertained by no more than a simple phone call to Oswald's former commander at Atsugi, John E. Donovan. "He [Oswald] must have had [a] secret clearance to work in the radar center," Donovan testified to the Warren Commission in 1964, "because that was a minimum requirement for all of us."

5) "Oswald and his marine companions had walked patrol to guard a supersecret espionage weapon hidden in an airplane hanger. As a radar operator, he had also tracked this dark object with advanced height-finding radar equipment. This particular espionage weapon was then the single most important intelligence asset available to the United States. It was the one that produced the most critical intelligence on the Soviet ballistic missile program at the height of the missile bluff (1957-1960) crisis with Khrushchev: the U-2."

6) "The U-2 program was TOP SECRET and more, but it was no secret to the marines in Oswald's unit. They saw the planes, they tracked them, and they even communicated with them. That is, until Oswald defected to the Soviet Union, which was the target of the U-2s' espionage mission. The ballistic missile information these dark planes from Atsugi collected as they overflew the Communist giant was vital intelligence for U.S. estimates of the Soviet Union's ability to wage nuclear wars What Oswald knew of the U-2 program before his defection is therefore a matter that deserves close attention."

The other astonishing piece of information that I came across and I think is one of the most important from the publication noted: "By early 1960 a national intelligence estimate predicted that the Soviet Union would deploy thirty-five ICBMs by mid-1960, and 140 to 200 by 1961. In the end they deployed only four by 1961."

I've gotten good with my kindle and highlighting. I love the highlights and the notes they produce. I've made over a thousand highlight passages from this astonishing work by H.P. Albarelli jr. I will point out that I've read this publication 4 times now so there is a lot of duplication but I will just point out just two passages and why I most strongly recommend this book.

1. "Psychology is steadily working its way into the fabric of American society, with commerce and big business becoming well aware of the powers of mass marketing and consumer manipulation. The horrors of brainwashing and "enhanced interrogation" are becoming the vogue with the fellows in the intelligence community, and the high values of propaganda and media manipulation are skillfully molded into an art form and science within the same group."

2. "John Pic's subsequent assignment is extremely interesting because earlier, in April 1951, one of Frank Olson's killers was being held, pending deportation, in a cell on Ellis Island. Later, at the same time that John Pic was assigned to duty on the island, several major drug traffickers from France and Corsica were also being held at Ellis Island. They had been apprehended in a major Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) operation headed up by George Hunter White, acting as a dual narcotics-CIA operative. Illicit drugs impounded from these arrests were transferred to a secret holding compound in New Jersey where, according to CIA documents, the drugs were disbursed to various researchers under contract with the CIA, and to other unknown places. One of the French traffickers apprehended by White would be sent to a federal prison in Atlanta, where he would be subjected to intense mind control experiments. Multiple drugs were used during these experiments, including morphinum, dicain, and heroin. Readers may recall that some of these same drugs were discovered listed in John Pic's notebook in 1964. (Dicain, a strong local anesthetic, has never been available in the U.S. It can only be purchased overseas, and was used in Eastern Europe. In 1953-1956, the CIA experimented with the drug for possible mind-control uses.) Of equal interest is that during World War II, George Hunter White and a number of other FBN agents assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), precursor to the CIA, worked very closely in New York City with Port Security and the Office of Naval Intelligence on what is now commonly called Operation Underworld. This was the top-secret project that involved freeing infamous gangster Charles "Lucky" Luciano from prison in return for his, and the Mafia's, assistance with security at America's ports and with the Allied invasion of Italy. All of the FBN agents assigned to work on Operation Underworld went on to become covert operatives for the CIA, and would become involved with Projects MK/ULTRA and MK/NAOMI."

There's one final publication/author I'm recommending as a part of this package. I understand that your mileage might differ regarding the final work noted below but I will remind the reader to take a close look at who was on Air Force 1 at the time Johnson was sworn in that afternoon. Who smiled at Johnson and who did Johnson look back at after the change of power was completed?

Bottom line, it's about a crime and the cover up.

Kennedy's Last Stand: Eisenhower, UFOs, MJ-12 & JFK's Assassination by Michael Salla.

Tks for taking the time to read my observations and I hope I've helped to give you some good info.

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very fun book. Forgoes the major pillars of JFK mythology to explore the murky web of strange characters, bizarre occurrences, and obscure leads overlooked in other accounts. Despite appearances, I’d hesitate to call this a ‘conspiracy’ book. The author leans into the uncanny nature of the story in a way that forgoes broad narratives in favour of the bizarre and the inscrutable. Despite this, the research is commendable and presented well. It bears the mark of a mature investigator in that Albarelli clearly states the origin of each piece of information and, more importantly, tells us where he is uncertain and highlights contradictions.

If you want to read about mysterious notebooks, sinister psychiatrists, obscure spooks, and Oswald’s connection to Aldous Huxley (among other stories), this is well worth seeking out.

[Arjan Hut · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book does not deliver what the title promises. The writer focuses more on the CIA's mind-control experiments and throws in name after name after name, often running off track, which makes this book difficult and confusing to read. He refers to his previous book about the murder of Frank Olson so often, it becomes annoying. There are some interesting chapters, but information is scattered all about. There are many notes to each chapter, but they are not numbered. It is as if you're reading a rough draft for a book idea. Just when it gets interesting, Albarelli writes that he is saving the information for his next book, which will apparently tell all.

The writer seems infatuated with the late CIA asset June Cobb, who spread disinformation about Oswald in Mexico and answered to CIA-disinformation artist and deathlist composer David Atlee Phillips, which leads to some cringeworthy chapters, noteably the two final chapters.

I have no doubt that the writer did a lot of research, but then he throws all of the info on one huge pile and does little else with it besides noticing connections.

This book should have been called "People who knew people who worked with people who met people who may or may not have something to do with MK Ultra and/or the Kennedy assassination and isn't June Cobb hot and please read my book on Frank Olson."

A must read for any JFK assassination fanatic. I'll put myself into that category. You will be blindsided by the author's comparisons and astute research. much could be made out of these frightening chapters. the world opens up and the synchronicity of sinister events and people align in Oswald's rifle crosshairs.
