Oswald’s Lover on JFK Plot and Being Recruited to Develop ‘Super Cancer’ to Kill Fidel Castro

Author and former cancer researcher Judyth Vary Baker details her intimate relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald – the man the U.S. government blames for acting alone to kill John F. Kennedy – and also explains her version of the assassination and reveals her recruitment to come up with a powerful biological weapon to used to kill Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

Baker said she was influenced by the 1991 film JFK to finally come forward and reveal what she knew about Lee Harvey Oswald and the JFK assassination after staying quiet for more than three decades.

She says she waited until 1999 to see the film after her children were grown and out of the house. Her alleged experiences with Lee Harvey Oswald are detailed in her 2011 book Me & Lee: How I Came to Know, Love and Lose Lee Harvey Oswald.

“When I saw the movie I was shocked at the fact for example that all those Clinton witnesses had seen Lee with David Ferrie, with Clay Shaw, and it wasn’t even known to the public,” Baker said. Ferrie was an American pilot accused of being involved in a conspiracy to assassinate JFK.

“I loved him with all my heart and it took me a long time to speak out,” she said about her romance with Oswald beginning in the summer of 1963. He last conversation with him was just two days before JFK’s death. “Lee said to me, please tell my little girls I was a good guy – he didn’t think he’d get out of it alive.

“They had to kill him, they couldn’t let somebody like that survive,” she said about Oswald, whom she said had been working as an informant for the FBI.

She also talks about being recruited into a biological weapons development project that was based in New Orleans. “This was aimed at trying to assassinate Castro,” said Baker, adding that the CIA had tried other methods to assassinate the Cuban leader that failed.

“I just learned to hate Castro, so it was easy to recruit me into such a program, although I didn’t realize I’d been sent to New Orleans for that reason,” she said.

“We have newspaper articles verifying that I had been trained to make cancer more deadly. I was one of these young assets that could be untraceable,” she said, adding that she was promised admission to Tulane’s medical school in return for her covert service.

She said she was also going to be working with preeminent cancer researcher Dr. Mary Sherman, who she notes was murdered on July 21, 1964, the day that investigators from the Warren Commission arrived in New Orleans to get testimony for their probe into the death of JFK.

“In fact all of them I worked with died,” she said. “David Ferrie was one of the smart ones, he managed to keep himself alive until 1967.”

But in the end, Baker said Ferrie was named in a newspaper article by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison as the suspected getaway pilot in the JFK assassination.

“Like he told me, never get your name in the paper. I didn’t go to my sister’s wedding, I didn’t go to my grandparents’ funerals, I kept my head down and I was nobody forever and ever and ever – never going to be in cancer research again – had to be very quiet.

She said five days later, Ferrie was dead and authorities claimed it was from natural causes, which she finds preposterous.
