Lee Harvey Oswald: Convenient Lies and Cover-Ups Continue

This article provides useful information about the framing of Lee Harvey Oswald, accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy, and why a cover-up took place.

The Cover-Up Continues

What does the ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA and WIKIPEDIA have in common? They have become the judge and jury of Lee Harvey Oswald, labeling Oswald "assassin" rather than "accused assassin."

Let's get one thing straight: IF a government disposes of its leader through assassination, and THAT government then conducts an investigation, the investigation will be dishonest.

Did you know that the new President, Lyndon Johnson, is known to have escaped a possible prison term by becoming President?  View the facts HERE:

Here are a few photos to further remind you of the kind, gentle new President:

And famously, LBJ's interaction with the winking Albert Thomas, a grieving Jackie Kennedy almost insensate at LBJ's side:

When President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, an investigation was immediately conducted by the FBI.  However, the Director of the FBI, John Edgar Hoover, who despised JFK and his brother Bobby, had declared that Lee Harvey Oswald was the ONLY suspect and the ONLY person involved in the assassination THE SAME DAY Kennedy was killed.  Here's Hoover's memo to that effect, written to his agents in Dallas who wanted to look into any other possibilities:

"Not necessary to cover as true subject located" -- signed Jn (John) H (Hoover).
The memo was signed before any evidence had reached FBI laboratories. What power Hoover had! With this single memo, all efforts to locate any other suspects ceased.

Hoover received his reward:  Lyndon Johnson made J. Edgar Hoover Director for Life, whereas Kennedy would have forced Hoover to retire at age 70.  Today, in the face of Hoover's overwhelming power, FBI Directors are limited to ten year terms.

Consider that the HSCA (a government-funded House Committee) declared, in its findings, that a conspiracy existed, though they still blamed Oswald as JFK's assassin.  But the HSCA was winding down and failed to look into that matter deeper. Nor did they castigate Hoover for his swift and outrageous shutdown of any investigation as to any other suspects.

Now, if a government kills its leader, that government will not be expected to conduct a fair investigation into the killing.  That's common sense.

The American people were immediately shown photos of Johnson being sworn in, legitimizing Johnson as the new President in  their eyes.  The stunned people knew that Lyndon B. Johnson, the new President, was the one who appointed the members of the Warren Commission, but they meekly accepted the lie that Johnson was SORRY that the event happened.  Look at this film and decide for yourself if the new President is really grief-stricken over the sudden violent, barbaric execution of his predecessor. LBJ had just 58 words to say, when he took over the country:

LBJ's Warren Commission was composed of Johnson's most trusted Congressional cronies and those with special interests in making sure the truth would never surface, such as Allen Dulles, described by Wikipedia thus, in its opening words: 

Allen Welsh Dulles (April 7, 1893 – January 29, 1969) was an American diplomat, lawyer, banker, and public official..."

The next sentence in the article tells readers that Dulles was " the longest-serving (1953–1961) Director of Central Intelligence (de facto head of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency)..."  

And guess who ended Dulles' career?

KENNEDY.

Yet here he is, the former head of the CIA

, appointed by Lyndon Johnson to 'investigate'

 the assassination, with the express purpose of 

verifying the FBI report conducted by Hoover

 that was made within mere days of the

 assassination.  Wikipedia tells us:

"Although Dulles' involvement in

 the Bay of Pigs endeavor gained

 him enough ill repute to be fired

 from the CIA during Kennedy's

 administration, he didn't let this

 stifle his ambition. Somehow he

 found himself reinstated and was

 allowed to serve on the commission

 to investigate the murder of the

 very man who fired him." 

(REF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Welsh_Dulles  accessed Jan. 4, 2013)

"Somehow" indeed! Who was better suited to

 make certain that nobody connected with

 Dulles' precious CIA would be linked to the

 assassination?

 
I have written elsewhere of the other members of

 the Warren Commission, what compromised

 them, and how several of the more neutral

 members were unhappy with the conclusions

 made by the Commission. 

They should have been.

Here's a list of errors made by the Warren

 Commission, as compiled by researcher Martin

 Shackelford, a conservative researcher who, for

 example, doesn't believe the Zapruder film was

 altered.    He writes: 

Warren Commission Errors by Martin Shackelford (9-22-99) At Work: 1. No staff of investigators; near-total dependence on information gathered by others, while claiming to conduct "an independent investigation." In its "Forward to the Report," it openly boasts that it had the power to grant immunity, but never used it. 2. Too much emphasis on getting it over with, at the expense of leads which even their own staff thought important, while claiming to conduct a "thorough" investigation. 3. The decision not to request access to the autopsy photos and X-rays, much less not to request evaluation by qualified forensic pathologists. 4. The decision not to question Jack Ruby away from Dallas. 5. The decision to assume Oswald's guilt at the outset, and the adversarial attitude toward witnesses who didn't assume it. 6. The failure to aggressively pursue records held by less cooperative agencies, like the military, the CIA, etc. 7. The decision not to make its evidence files available for study by scholars, and instead to seal them until 2039, and the small printing (5000) of the volumes of evidence that were released, with no allowance for a second printing based on demand. The Report: The Narrative: How the Commission Wanted You to Look at the Evidence 1. Secret Service agent Clint Hill didn't push Mrs. Kennedy back into the rear seat; she was returning to the seat before he reached her. (after she reached a piece of her husband's head that went to the rear of the limo.) 2. Although they precisely indicated the location of the wound in the front of the neck, all they said about the head wound was that it was "extensive," thus evading the Parkland doctors, reports that it was in the rear of the head. 3. In a misleading statement, the body reportedly "was given a complete pathological examination." From the standpoint of forensic pathology, this is utterly false. Even from the standpoint of hospital pathology, it is questionable. 4. It implies that the head wound described in the autopsy report matches the descriptions from Parkland, when in fact it didn't even match most of the descriptions by Bethesda personnel. 5. It ascribes accounts of shots from locations other than the Texas School Book Depository to "evident confusion at the outset," and suggests that the actual sole source, the Depository, was identified "within minutes." The House Select Committee on Assassinations found witnesses and evidence that supported a shot from the grassy knoll"some of them known to the Warren Commission, but disregarded or subjected to hostile questioning. 6. "Several eyewitnesses," it said, reported a rifle being fired from the Sixth Floor window. In fact, only one, Howard Brennan, reported seeing it fire. 7. They report the suspect description broadcast by Dallas Police was "based primarily on Brennan's observations," though it included details Brennan could not have known. 8. They give Oswald extra time to get down the stairs, saying "Not more than 2 minutes had elapsed since the shooting" when Officer Baker and TSBD supervisor Roy Truly dashed up the stairs. In fact, no more than a minute and a half, and possibly less, had elapsed by the time Officer Baker confronted Oswald in the second floor lunchroom. This kind of shading of facts in the direction of a conclusion resembles a prosecutor,s brief more than the objective analysis claimed by the Commission. 9. "On the bus was Mrs. Mary Bledsoe, one of Oswald's former landladies, who immediately recognized him." They fail to note that she reported the elbow of his shirt was "torn out," which wasn't accurate, and the bus driver later suggested the passenger may not have been Oswald, but a young man who was a regular on that run of the bus, Milton Jones. 10. They noted that Oswald took a cab, but omit that he offered it to a woman who arrived after he did, as the narrative is slanted to suggest Oswald was in a big hurry. 11. The narrative has Oswald talking with Officer Tippit through a car window that was rolled up, not down. 12. Reporting that Domingo Benavides called the shooting in at 1:16, they imply that this was done almost immediately, which wasn't the case. The shooting could have occurred as early as 1:10, but that didn't leave enough time for Oswald to get there from his rooming house. 13. Neutrally, we are told "The assailant ran into the lot, discarded his jacket and then continued his flight west on Jefferson," but not that no one had any success connecting the discarded jacket to Oswald. 14. In describing Oswald's teenage years, no mention is made of the fact that his family was deeply enmeshed in the Marcello crime organization; his uncle worked for Marcello, and his mother dated Marcello employees. An odd man with Mob and intelligence connections, David Ferrie, headed the unofficial Civil Air Patrol unit that Oswald joined. The "loner" also belonged to an Astronomy Club. 15. The second description of Oswald as a "loner" comes in the summary of his Marine career. Anyone who believes that should read his friend Kerry Thornley's novel based on their time in the Marines, "The Idle Warriors," or read the accounts of his Marine buddy Nelson Delgado. The Commission account is fiction by selection. 16. He spent time overseas, we are told, "most of it in Japan." That's all we learn about that unusual period, where he frequented the Queen Bee, an expensive nightclub out of the price range of a simple Marine. Also avoided is any mention of the Atsugi base at which he was stationed, a center of both U-2 and MKULTRA CIA operations. 17. The Commission implies that Oswald could shoot well, and explains his low rifle test scores as an indication that he wasn't interested in them. 18. The highly unusual circumstances of his discharge are glossed over. He was released to care for his mother, on whom several boxes had fallen at work months before. It's true that she was injured, and had a difficult time for a while, but she was doing better by the time he was discharged, and he only spent three days with her before leaving for Russia. 19. The Commission mentions the odd fact that Oswald applied for a passport, saying he intended to go to Russia, before he left the Marines. What is not said is that his superior officer. Lt. Ayers, was aware of this, as he signed a form which included that intended destination. 20. There is mention that he entered the Soviet Union via Finland, but not that he somehow knew that Helsinki was the easiest entry point. 21. There is no mention that he told the U.S. embassy he intended to give the Russians information he had learned in the Marines. Perhaps this made it easier for them in not having to explain why the State Department later loaned him money for his return. 22. His time in Russia is also quickly skipped over, thus no mention of the circle of friends "the loner" developed there. His wife seems to come out of nowhere. 23. In it's rush to emphasize the Dallas Russian-speaking community,s dislike for Oswald, the Commission completely omits any mention of George DeMohrenschildt, a worldly sophisticate who is often described as "Oswald's best friend." 24. The Commission flatly states that Oswald tried to kill General Edwin Walker, despite the fact that the bullet recovered from the scene was not compatible with his rifle. It only "became compatible" after the assassination, when it turned out to be a different kind of bullet than Dallas Police had reported it to be in April. 25. We learn that Oswald returned to New Orleans, but not that he returned to the milieu of the Marcello crime family. We are also not told of the many employees of right-wing private detective Guy Banister who remember Oswald as another Banister "employee" or the students at Lousiana State University who recall seeing Banister and Oswald visiting the campus together, or the editor of a CIA-supported newsletter on Central America who reported seeing them on the street, and in Mancuso's Restaurant (in the same building as Banister,s office. David Ferrie also worked with Banister. 26. We're told that he visited the Mexico City embassies of Cuba and the Soviet Union, but not that someone continued to pretend to be him after he left, in a call to one embassy. One of the rumors the Commission doesn't debunk (or mention) is the possible affair Oswald had with the Cuban embassy's Mexican secretary, though in this case they had the documents reporting it. Not the sort of thing a loner would do, apparently. 27. In mentioning that Oswald rented a room from Mary Bledsoe briefly, it restates (again probably incorrectly) that she saw him on the bus after the assassination. 28. Although the summary said Ruth Paine phoned the Texas School Book Depository about a job for Oswald "at the suggestion of a neighbor," but the neighbor had told her she didn't think they were hiring. 29. The Commission implies that Oswald had not visited his wife at the Paine home on a Thursday, prior to November 21, but in fact this was his second Thursday visit in the relatively short time he had been back in Dallas. 30. The Commission says Oswald left "his wallet" with $170 for his wife the morning of the assassination, but it wasn,t his wallet. He had put money into HER wallet. His wallet was in his pocket at the time of his arrest (a detail the narrative omits, presumably to avoid contradicting itself). The falsehood adds to the picture of finality the Commission seeks to paint. The reality is much less clearcut. 31. The Commission's Oswald placed "a long, bulky package" in the rear of Buell Wesley Frazier's car, but neither Frazier nor his sister, who also saw it, described it as long enough to carry even the disassembled rifle, and it seemed light enough that Frazier, who had worked in a department store, believed Oswald's statement that the package contained curtain rods. 32. The Commission says Frazier saw Oswald carry the package into the Depository, but that's not true. The only employee who actually saw Oswald enter the building, Jack Dougherty, said Oswald wasn,' carrying anything. 33. The Commission says that "positive firearm identification evidence was not available at the time," failing to add that there was never a ballistics match made between Oswald's pistol and the bullets fired at Officer Tippit. Lamely, they report that the pistol was of a type that could have fired the bullets. 34. Of details given the press by the Dallas Police, the Commission dismissively stated: "Some of the information divulged was erroneous." The same could be said of the Commission. 35. Jack Ruby, we learn, was in the crowd of newsmen shouting questions at Oswald that Friday night. We aren't told that he knew more about Oswald's political activities than did District Attorney Henry Wade, at whom he shouted a correction. Of course, Ruby probably spent more time in New Orleans than Wade, and he got his strippers from the Marcello circuit there. Maybe he didn't need to rely on the news media for information about Oswald. 36. We are told that numerous threats against Oswald were called in to police. We aren't told that Officer Billy Grammar, who took one of the calls, identified the caller as a familiar voice, Jack Ruby. He stalks Oswald, he makes a phone threat, and then, on a "sudden impulse," he shoots Oswald. What a coincidence! The Conclusions: What The Narrative Was Preparing You to Believe 1. We hear again that "witnesses" saw a rifle being fired from the TSBD window. 2. We're told that a bullet matching Oswald,s rifle was found at Parkland Hospital on Governor Connally,s stretcher, but it was in fact found on the stretcher of an injured little boy, Ronald Fuller, according to the man who found it. 3. We have here the false claim that the Single Bullet Theory "is not necessary to any essential findings of the Commission," though without it a lone assassin would be impossible. 4. Though no one saw the Mannlicher-Carcano in Oswald,s possession after he left New Orleans, the Commission informs us that it was "was owned by and in the possession of Oswald" on the day of the assassination. Producing evidence of this is apparently also "not necessary to any essential findings." 5. Also on no evidence, we are told that "Oswald carried this rifle into the Depository Building on the morning of November 22, 1963." 6. And we have only the word of Howard Brennan that "Oswald, at the time of the assassination, was present at the window from which the shots were fired." 7. We are told that "the improvised paper bag in which Oswald brought the rifle to the Depository was found close by the window from which the shots were fired." How unfortunate that none of the witnesses who saw the bag Oswald actually carried recognized the bag reportedly found on the Sixth Floor. 8. The claim that Oswald attempted to kill General Walker is here repeated. 9. Oswald is convicted as Tippit,s killer, partly based on a match between cartridge cases in evidence and Oswald's pistol, but the Officer to whom the cases found at the scene had been given was unable to find his initials in the cases matched to Oswald's pistol. Damningly, we are told that Oswald owned the pistol that was found in his possession (duh!). Then we,re again told the falsehood that "Oswald's jacket" was found abandoned. 10. We are told that Oswald was given the opportunity to obtain counsel. We aren't told that he asked for an ACLU attorney, and the Dallas Police turned away an ACLU attorney, telling him that Oswald didn,t want his assistance. 11. Oswald's opportunities to speak directly to the press in the hallway of the Dallas Police Department are described as "harassment" that shouldn,t have been permitted, as it failed to protect his rights to an "orderly interrogation." 12. The Commission found no evidence of a conspiracy, because it couldn't tie Oswald or Ruby to one or to each other, it said. 13. The Commission couldn,' figure out a motive for killing the President, either, so it offered a list of possible "contributing factors." 14. One of these is "His inability to enter into meaningful relationships with people." At the time, people who had known Oswald well were living in fear that they would be accused of being accomplices. As time went on, we,ve learned about more of these "meaningful relationships" he supposedly didn,t have. 15. The Walker shooting, now taken for granted as an Oswald act, is used to show his "capacity for violence." 16. Apparently the Commission's finding "that the FBI took an unduly restrictive view of its role in preventive intelligence work prior to the assassination" is another way of saying the FBI failed to pass on reports of Mob threats against Kennedy to the Secret Service" oops, the FBI didn,t tell the Commission about them, either. They didn't really come out until the late 1970s. What we find is that the Commission's presentation of evidence was no more objective than the much criticized Oliver Stone film "JFK," but in a different direction. The narrative is slanted to support the conclusions, and the conclusions often rely on errors made in the narrative, and on statements for which there is no evidence, or evidence pointing in a different direction.

So when you read -- in the Britannica and in  Wikipedia-- that Lee Harvey Oswald was found to be the "Lone assassin" by three (sometimes they say four) government investigations, remember this one fact: WHAT ELSE COULD A GOVERNMENT, WHO TOOK OVER POWER BY KILLING ITS OWN LEADER, TELL THE PEOPLE?

The American Dream died with Kennedy on November 22, 1963.

Since then, America has become a nation that wages war across the globe.

never intending to actually win any of these wars, because they are not based on principles, but on obtaining money for the military-industrial complex.

When Congress votes to continue raising military spending, while cutting back essential government services for you, the American citizen, just remember it is YOU who have blindly accepted the 'fact' that Oswald killed Kennedy, when, in fact, Lee Harvey Oswald was framed for a murder for which our own government was ultimately responsible.

The government that pillaged Social Security and put every American into debt framed Oswald.

The government that conducted WAR ON CANCER, WAR ON DRUGS and WAR ON POVERTY made everything worse.  But WAR is their motif.

The government that lied about THE GULF OF TONKIN was led by Lyndon Johnson.

The government that brought you WATERGATE and forced the resignation of "tricky Dick" Nixon was handed to Nixon by Lyndon Johnson.

And Nixon gave us Gerald Ford--an appointed Vice President (because Nixon's Vice President, Spiro Agnew, was forced to resign due to his corruption!). teach your children that our government was taken over from within, and those who helped frame Oswald got their rewards: GERALD FORD, NEVER ELECTED AS VICE PRESIDENT, TOOK OVER THE PRESIDENCY FROM NIXON. Ford was a member of The Warren Commission.

Ford was the first and only President and vice President who was never elected to either position by the people.  Ford also later admitted that as a member of the Warren Commission, he altered evidence in the JFK murder case. What did he do?  FORD DELIBERATELY MOVED THE BULLET HOLE LOCATION IN KENNEDY'S BACK UP TO THE NECK TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THE 'MAGIC BULLET' USED TO FRAME LEE OSWALD COULD HAVE EXITED THE NECK.

Amazingly, Wikipedia, which helps continue the cover-up with its editors, who immediately remove all corrections made in oswald's defense, says this about the moved bullet hole:

 "Claims that anyone on the commission "moved the wound" are subject to

discussion." 

Read the truth HERE (with emphasis in bold face added):

"The signed autopsy sheet, including the placement and description of the back wound, was verified by Admiral George Gregory Burkley, personal physician to the president who directed the autopsy at Bathesda. 

Burkley filled out and signed John F. Kennedy's official death certificate on November 23rd, 1963. He verified the location of the back wound and signed the Kennedy autopsy sheet at Bethesda on November 24th. That death certificate revealed the back wound to be, in the Admiral's own words, at the president's "third thoracic vertebra."The neck has seven CERVICAL vertebrae, and this observed and verified wound was described as three THORACIC vertebrae lower than the neck itself. A wound in the back, exactly where the official autopsy sheet and the coat and shirt placed it. Warren Commissioner Gerald Ford was one of the key people responsible for misleading the U.S. public about the facts of the JFK assassination. The single bullet theory and the lone assassin fiction are only possible if we believe Gerald Ford's terrible fiction."

Here's the location of the third thoracic vertebra:

It has been well-established that no bullet could have penetrated all the bony protuberances involved with the vertebrae in either back OR neck and yet emerge from the throat, as falsely claimed by the Warren Commission, to then hit John Connally and smash his rib, bones in his wrist, and leave a piece of bullet in his thigh, all the while emerging relatively pristine and unscathed.

The "Magic Bullet"

Mark Lane says:

We knew that Dr. Shaw, who is the physician who attended Governor Connally. The bullet was, of course, found about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, by Darrell Tomlinson, an engineer at the Parkland Hospital. But two and a half hours after that bullet was found, Dr Shaw was on television and he emerged from the operating room to say that the Governor was in rather good shape, that he's not in critical shape. He'll be all right. Described his wounds, and then concluded by saying that the bullet which did all of the damage is still in Governor Connally's left thigh. It is still there now; he has not yet removed it. 

Yet the Commission would have us believe that the bullet which was found two and a half hours prior to this time was, in fact, the bullet which did the damage."     

Ref:  http://forum.jfkmurdersolved.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2815

The Magic Bullet is a fairytale, and Gerald Ford told it to the American people.

But how else could the innocent Oswald be framed?  (Well, many other lies were also created.)

Overwhelming forensic evidence today proves that Kennedy's neck wound came from the front, but common sense can show anyone that this wound is in the BACK, not the NECK (the neck is to the left)

The Cabell Matter

CIA career photos of Cabell

General Charles Cabell, also CIA, was fired by Kennedy over the Bay of Pigs fiasco, as was Allen Dulles.  Charles Cabell's career was thus destroyed by JFK. On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was murdered in Dallas, where Charles Cabell's brother, Earle, was Mayor.  As a former long-time resident of Texas, including Dallas, I found it sinister, indeed, that Jackie Kennedy was handed RED ROSES in a state where THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS is the usual bouquet, symbolizing the state's independence and its celebration of courageous womanhood. Jackie herself wondered that she was given red roses:

Everytime we got off the plane that day, three times they gave me the yellow roses of Texas. But in Dallas they gave me red roses. I thought how funny, red roses— so all the seat was full of blood and red roses."
- Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Jackie received red roses from Mrs. Earle Cabell:

Mrs. Lyndon Johnson, the soon-to-become First Lady, was the FIRST one honored with roses in  Dallas, in a betrayal of protocol.  The future First Lady was given a bouquet of yellow roses BEFORE Jackie Kennedy, who would be the outgoing First Lady, was given her bouquet of RED roses by Mrs. Earle Cabell. Think about that.

Zack Shelton interviewed by Playboy
by tom jeffers on Sat Oct 23, 2010 8:57 pm







Zach was interviewed by Playboy and it appears in the November 2010 issue.



...He does include opinions of other fbi retirees that feel he was right on track. One of the interesting items is the fact that he verifies that Tony Accordo was still in charge of the chicago outfit during this time. those who were inside knew it and those who thought they knew everything keep saying that giancana was the man. Accordo was a slippery devil and alluded everyone for years to make them think he was retired. this was a big issue because alot of people discredit jimmy because he kept saying the hit came down from Accardo.

Well, after much hoopla, Zack Shelton's Playboy interview left me feeling let down somewhat. He downplays the importance of James Files knowledge
of the assassination plans and carry thru on Kennedy, almost 50 years ago. 90% of the info developed in the article was contained in the dvds and the
interview and book by Jimmy Files and Wim Dankbaar.

One must understand, that even up to this date, Jimmy Files refuses to discuss many of the plans, persons, and activities, involved with the Outfit and
his dealings with the CIA, before, during and long after the Kennedy thing. To Jimmy the K thing was a sideshow to other projects that he was working on
and worked on during his long career, and the K murder was not that important to him in the scheme of things, or the so-called Big Picture. Barney

The playboy is certainly a place of truth-finding.
Jewish cabale and money orientation.

barney,

i did not get the impression that you did when i read the article. he clearly states his facts that he gets from other fbi sources and contacts. In a way he states that jimmy might have embellished his role but he definately agrees that jimmy was there and I think that he was more inclined to believe him than not.

Members; dont get me wrong here, I dont think Zack did a bad job on the interview. I just think he withheld a good bit of information he has access
to via his former FBI associates as federal agents at the time of the Kennedy assassination. Particularly since J Edgar Hoover put a major clamp down on
disclosure of important information readily available from the agency either to not embarass his agency as he thought of it, or out of utter hatred for the
three Kennedy brothers, the Triumvirate as he and Johnson called it.

At this time, we all know with reasonable certainty from Agent James Hosty, that LHO was a paid informant, having a secret code number and being
paid between $200 and $300 per month. When LHO moved to Ft. Worth and Dallas area, Agent Hosty was assigned the job of keeping tabs on LHO,
seeking information on the Cuban and Russian community that he had contacts with. George DeMohrenschild was the CIA associate who was assigned to
keep tabs on Marina and Lee Oswald for the agency.

It should be of interest, that George and Jackie Kennedy were very close friends, they visited often prior to her marriage to JFK, as her mother dated
George for a time, after her divorce from BlackJack Bouvier, her name being Janet Auchincloss I think it was. She and her sister and cousins called him,
our beloved Uncle George.

Would it not be odd, that George may have played some role in enabling the murder years later of her husband, our President in 1963, on the streets of
Dallas, Tx. a place that both felt was rude, crude, and a wildwest town from a bygone era at best, but probably much worse.

don't forget that although Zach is retired, "once an fbi agent, always an fbi agent". I am sure that playboy had its own agenda and cut much of Zach's information. Notice how Zach never mentions any alphabet soup agency? He is not going to jeopardize his pension. He will remain mum on many facts that he knows.

Familiar ground, blood-soaked
by Phil Dragoo on Wed Oct 27, 2010 11:14 pm

There's a story here, but it's not in this article—which is out of focus, intentionally so, to, as Chauncey Holt put it, “muddy the waters.”

We don't trust the FBI, not then, not now, not ever.

We don't trust Robert Blakey—the liar—who lied that all Bethesda personnel agreed with the autopsy photos, and none did not—when, in fact, these witnesses agreed with the Parkland witnesses as to the large occipital exit wound.

What DO we know?

Working backwards, Charles Nicoletti and George DeMohrenschildt were killed ON THE SAME DAY, March 29, 1977.

Before they could testify before Blakey's whitewash posse. Blakey was the CIA's punk, installed in lieu of Sprague, who rewrote the report to protect CIA.

We are on firm ground affirming that Maheu of the Hughes group was used to bring in Roselli—who brought in Giancana, Nicoletti—who brought in Files.

That it was the Roselli group tasked with the Castro hit, that this CIA op was used to get Kennedy.

Holt and Plumlee are pilasters in this wall, buttressing the seeming anomaly of outfit people in the Dealey plan.

Was it, as Holt said, “to muddy the waters”--we know Braden/Brading was nabbed in the Dal-Tex Building, the source for the back shot, the Tague shot, perhaps the EOP shot.

Was it Files who did the frontal shot—he describes it accurately as it was seen at Bethesda, and by several at Parkland, over the eye, in the hairline, where it was excised.

He describes the rear exit wound.

And Ruby—what was he, chopped liver? On November 7, 1963, Jack Ruby received a collect call from George R. (Barney) Baker which lasted 17 minutes. Baker was an “associate” of James R. Hoffa.

So, James Files is popped for murder in Laos in 1960, is training up Cubans for BOP in 1961, is racing stockcars and tapped by Charles Nicoletti as wheelman, winds up in Dallas with Nicoletti, and Rosetti, Oswald, and Ruby.

But a couple of FBI agents “burn Dick Clark”--hey, we're shocked—ordinarily the FBI is all about truth, justice and the American way—suddenly they take time to blow up a hot lead in the JFK hit.

And Katzenbach gets a mention—that would be the Katzenbach in on the decision to create the Warren Commission to “assure the American people that Oswald alone was responsible and would have been convicted at trial.”

Point being, when the muddy water sits, and the sediment settles, we find LBJ was “good friends” with Hoover who turned a blind eye to “organized crime” which cooperated FULLY with the CIA which was running the wars, notably in Vietnam, later in Nicaragua, Afghanistan—wherever.

It's not “either/or”--it's both/and, all-of-the-above, and the only rules are three can keep a secret if two are dead, or one is in jail and smeared with the label of liar, publicity-seeker, what-have-you.

There is a trail of metal on the lateral X-ray from the right eye to the Harper fragment—which fragment has at its right edge a trace of lead.

The signatures of Files and Nicoletti on the contract sent down from a council of concerned citizens, some in uniform, some in the shadows, all of them powerful and without scruple.

Baddabing, baddaboom.

Final section of article
by Phil Dragoo on Fri Oct 29, 2010 11:02 pm

Three thoughts on the final segment of the article.

Wacks’s superiors would not
permit him to take Marcello up on his offer.
“That really pissed me off,” says Wacks. “I
said to my boss, ‘What’s it going to harm
us?’ But he said, ‘We don’t want to go there.’
For some reason, the bureau wanted to close
the book on the assassination. That bugs me
to this day.”

What! The FBI didn't want Special Agent Wacks to talk to Marcello about killing Kennedy?! I am just so shocked because you know how dogged and determined that Hoover was in leaving no stone unturned in his unstoppable pursuit of the truth in the murder of his good friend Kennedy.

For G. Robert Blakey, now a professor at
the Notre Dame Law School, what Zack
Shelton and the other agents have found
adds weight to his thesis about organized
crime’s role in the assassination. “Little by
little, more pieces about organized crime’s
involvement keep coming out. Nothing of
substance has come out on the CIA other
than that it wanted to cover things up. The
stories of most substance are related to organized
crime.

Well, yes, I would say that's why Blakey—not Sprague—ran that show: because he was the Agency's a word-that-rhymes-with-bitch. And Blakey was so truthful—like saying all witnesses agreed with the photos of the autopsy and none did not and so the Parkland witnesses were mistaken. Except that that's a lie and we know that from the work of the ARRB and the volumes of Doug Horne.

Blakey is more skeptical about Files. “The
acoustical evidence does show a bullet was
fired from the grassy knoll, and it was fired
at a supersonic rate nearly simultaneous
with the third shot. But I believe that bullet
missed. If you look at the X-ray evidence of
the skull, it’s pretty conclusive the fatal shot
came from behind.”

Except that the great genius Blakey is lying again. The phonied up x-rays have been taken apart by Gary Aguilar and David Mantik; and the latter shows the Harper Fragment fits midline occipital on the F8 photo in the Fox series—which Baden blew big time.

And that fragment has at its right edge the lead trace from the EOP entry from the Dal-Tex (hello Roselli, Nicoletti, Braden/Brading) and was blown out by James Files with his XP-100 Remington Fireball.

The truth interlocks; only lies and forgeries are contradictory.

Excellent article providing reinforcement.

The so-named Warren Commission, Prof. Blakey, Senator Arlen Specter, and many others charged with an unbiased investigation of the Kennedy murder are
basically " traitors" or even worse. If every damned one of them still alive were hanged along the Lincoln Memorial Reflection Pool in long rows, it would suit
the hell out of me. Not because I admired or had such respect for Kennedy, especially after the shit starting to hit the fan about his private life, but that he was our elected President,and
as a Nation, we cannot permit the gun and bullets to determine our national future instead of the ballot boxes across this vast and great nation of ours. Millions
have paid with their lives for the freedom to vote, to participate in the election and voting process, so be forewarned, its in danger of extinction like the buggy whip, codes of honor, and
eons old dinosaurs, who just died out and nobody remembers just why. "Once freedoms are lost", they seldom appear again on their own short of a revolution to make it so again for future unborn generations. Must we endure a Third American Revolution????????
