JFK Facts Podcast #116: The French Connection — De Gaulle on JFK’s Assassination
What the French president said about the assassination of the American president and about the murder plots that he himself survived
Bernard Le Grelle, veteran French JFK author, brings unique international perspective to the assassination story.
In his episode of the JFK Facts podcast, he reveals what French president Charles de Gaulle thought privately about JFK’s murder. With superb connections in the French elite, Le Grelle tells of CIA-backed assassination plots against de Gaulle along with an amazing story: Robert Kennedy told the French president that his brother’s murder was a “coup d’etat.”

As DA Jim Garrison's staff JFK investigator in 1967-68, I traveled to France to meet French President de Gaulle and his Secret Service Director, Andre Ducret. I confirmed this to Bernard Le Grelle recently in an interview we did. I told him that I met Gen. de Gaulle in June 1968 and he firmly believed, on information gathered by his agents, that JFK's assassination was a "coup d'etat." French Intelligence knew a lot about it and gave us irrefutable evidence as well as leads.
The same thing-- domestic coup d'etat-- is still going on, except maybe in a less lethal manner. Russiagate was a nonlethal plot to end Trump's political career, and the plot may have reached all the way up to a sitting president (whose mama may have had CIA ties). When that didn't work, did the same forces revert to the old fashioned method with two assassination attempts?
