A new book written last year (2018) entitled " H.L. Hunt... Motive and Opportunity " is the story told by a very close associate of Haroldson Lafayette Hunt, the president of Hunt Oil and dozens of other big buck businesses ......
The associate and employee is named John Curington who I believe he is 96 years old, was employed as H.L. Hunt's right hand man from 1954 until 1969. John was privy to H L Hunt's private and business life. He knows nearly everything that H.L Hunt did in his life....
After reading his story, I believe Mr Curington is trying to set history straight without violating a promise that he made to H.L. Hunt over a half century ago.
I believe that John Curington knows the truth about the murder of John Kennedy, but will not pull the wrappers off the story. He tells the various tales that make up his story as if his memory is failing him, or he deliberately isn't making the tale crystal clear. The story is rather vague, disjointed and rambling, but never-the- less it is a verrrrrry interesting tale.
The author ( Mitchel Whitington) that John Curington selected to write his story obviously knows very little about the murders of JFK, RFK. MLK, and Jimmy Hoffa..... and consequently writes the story from the perspective of the US Government approved history books. It's a pity that Mr Whitington doesn't know some of the very basic facts of the murder of JFK and the other three victim,s because Mr Curington gave Michel information that is dynamite.
One example of a piece of dynamite information that John gave to Mitchel is related to the "Dear Mr Hunt" note..... John told Mitchel that the note surfaced in the in the inner office mail system of Hunt Oil after the assassination of JFK. Jon said that the note had been dropped off at the front desk and it was in an envelope addressed to Mr Hunt. Mr Hunt and Mr Curington read the short note... which said...
I would like information concerding (sic) my position. I am asking only for information. I am suggesting that we discuss the matter fully before any steps are taken by me or anyone else. Lee Harvey Oswald
They then called the FBI ( H.L.Hunt was a personal friend of J.Edgar Hoover and called Hoover and talked to him often) An FBI agent came to Hunt's office and took the note and John Curington never saw it again.....( at least that's what John Curington told Mitchel Whitington) However, Whitington presented a photo of the note
in the book that is a bit different than other copies of the note that I've seen...which leads me to believe that Curington presented a photocopy of the note to Mitchel.
Those of you who know the official tale concerning that note will recognize that according to Curington the note appeared in Mr Hunt's inner office mail at the Hunt Oil offices. And it was turned over to the FBI. And this is contrary to the tale handed to us by the FBI.
Mr Curington tells another interesting story in the book..... Curington said that on Saturday November 23, 1963 Mr Hunt called him at home at about 5:30 In the afternoon and asked Curington to go to the Dallas Police headquarters and check out what kind of security, if any. they had around Lee Harvey Oswald. Curington said that he went to the police station and had no trouble determining that the security for Lee Oswald was nearly non existent. Curington claimed that at some point in his nosing around the police station he had pressed the button to summon the elevator.....When the elevator arrived and the door opened he was face to face with Lee Oswald in handcuffs and Captain Fritz.... Fritz recognized Curington and said..." Meet the S-O-B who killed the president." .....
Curington reported back to Mr Hunt at about midnight and informed Mr Hunt that there was no extraordinary security around Oswald, whereupon Mr Hunt told Curington to call Joe Civello and tell Civello that Mr Hunt wanted to talk to him. Joe Civello visited the Hunt mansion at about 6:00 AM Sunday morning....
Later that morning at about 11:30 as Mr Curington was sitting in church, someone handed the pastor a note and the pastor announced to the congregation, that Lee Harvey Oswald had just been shot. Curington said..." I had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. and recalled my visit to the police station to check on the security of Oswald and then contacting Joe Civello."
