True, but Meyer was the conspirator du jour at the time, as was LBJ. Somehow, they ended up with a causal link in Hunt's statement.

Joe, just on Cord Meyer: Meyer was discussed here on the Forum extensively in the couple years before Hunt's deathbed statement. Once I was hipped to him, I began to see him discussed on other websites, high and low. It's not impossible Meyer filtered out to the wider internet from here. When Hunt released his statement, I felt that he - or he and someone - had combed the internet for those currently regarded as hot conspirators (LBJ, too, at the time), and they were bundled into Hunt's statement.

Thanks for this, Paul and Robert.

We'd call this unusual if it weren't so...usual. Salon.com has been running, almost exclusively, features on how RFK, Jr., is "bad for democracy." Usually re: the anti-vaxx theme. Here's the latest: https://www.salon.com/2023/06/30/rfk-jr-spreads-bigotry-against-autistic-people--and-autistic-people-arent-taking-it-anymore/

Is left-wing in Huntley code for the civil rights movement? That's as left as it got. The video made me remember that as a little kid, I preferred Huntley and Brinkley to the other network anchormen.

There was once an argument cited that disassembling a rifle not designed for it ruins the accuracy for the next firing. Albeit that it's the "humane" Carcano...does that argument apply? If so, could Oz have re-calibrated the scope on the sixth floor without test firings?

Why not disassemble it for target practice, since these target practice events temporally occur within a series of occasions when Oswald is said to have disassembled the rifle, including 11-22-63? Why break form, when the target events each represent the longest time length when Oswald's rifle was carried in public? Ten minutes to take it into the TSBD, but perhaps an hour each time to get it to and from Love Field? A crucial ten minutes for concealment, yes, but no concealment concerns for an hour each on more than one target practice occasion. Doesn't prove the rifle wasn't bagged on 11-22, but a claimed procedural mismatch for Oz that deserves note.

To bring up a procedural mismatch that I noted before: Marina claimed that Oswald took the rifle through the streets of Dallas and onto buses for target practice, full-length and concealed under a raincoat. Yet other witnesses caused the WC to infer that Oswald disassembled the rifle and brought it up to the TSBD sixth floor in a paper sack.

Thanks, Jim. Let's have a contest where we rename Mockingbird for our modern age. The new title might mock current news technology, in a Black Mirror sort of way.

Who runs the modern equivalent of Mockingbird at CIA? Is it the National Resources division? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Resources_Division

RFK Jr.'s poll numbers are said to mean that because he's less known, he's less hated. Though not in the MSM, which seeks a level field: https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2023/06/14/robert-f-kennedy-jr-tops-biden-trump-in-new-favorability-poll/?sh=215c41243958

As always, Ron - I am the threadkiller non pareil.

Syntax first, facts later.😎 Marie Claire, btw, is a fashion magazine that's here licensing its name and logo to celebrity clickbait creators, through the syndicate which owns Marie Claire and some arm of msn.com that creates the clickbait. So, MSM all the way, maybe all in-house under one conglomerate. Can this assertion be disproven? John Sent Jackie to Have Electroshock Therapy One night after John came home from a date with one of his mistresses, he and Jackie—both intoxicated—got into a heated argument. Jackie ran out of the house wearing only her slip, and John called for an ambulance to pick her up. She ultimately was taken to a psychiatric hospital and received three shocks of electroshock treatment for depression. Because I'd have demanded divorce right there.

Text courtesy of AI in slipshod idiom: "His brother John had just received a medal commemorating his service in the war, which could possibly have influenced Joe to engage in an attempt to gain commemoration of his own."

Sorry if I missed this along the path, but what characters are Pacino, Travolta and Mortensen playing in Assassination ? There doesn't seem to be a likely Sam Flood* in the bunch. (A couple of Yosemite Sams, maybe.) Info not available on IMDb. _____ *Any thoughts on why Giancana chose that ominously antediluvean cognomen?

Robert's really Banksy, right? Ever seen together?

Ah, now I remember GPIDEAL! Thanks. Is there a list of crypts for later presidents? Also, is KUBARK for CIA still current? It's available through so many document releases that you would think not. What do they use now?

Is Robert posting/writing elsewhere online? I'd like to see it.

In CIA documents, are individual US presidents referred to by cryptonyms? (Kennedy, Johnson, e. g., as opposed to a crypt for POTUS) If so, is there a handy list of former presidents' cryptonyms available?

Some ambitious stuff there, and that's just the first two pages...

In which case, it didn't really happen until this thread, did it?

The 56 Years thread became our Decameron, that collection of tales told among people of a renaissance, sheltering from plague. Tales of love they were, from the erotic to the tragic. Like Boccaccio's Decameron, it should be taught in the higher academies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Decameron#/media/File:Waterhouse_decameron.jpg

Just a question to ponder, that occurred to me reading Martin Hay's articles: If one admits a "second Oswald" ("second" to whatever degree of resemblance and preparation one prefers), why was the beta version not sent to Mexico City to attract attention at the Cuban and Russian embassies, and appear on surveillance footage later? ++++ Also, if Cuban embassy staff encountered an Oswald impersonator who resembled a blonde, Soviet intelligence agent - how does his provocation fit into the Mexico City op scenario?

Though they could have been Defense Intelligence (DIA) people in civvies.

Was the CIA represented at the autopsy? Here's tech Paul O'Connor, quoted by Doug Horne from The Men Who Killed Kennedy (1988): There were kind of mysterious civilian people in civilian clothes [that] were there — it seemed like they commanded lots of respect and attention — sinister looking people. They would come up and look over my shoulder or look over Dr. Boswell’s shoulder, and run back and they’d have a little conference in the corner, and then all at once, there’s word [that would] come down and says: “stop what you’re doing and go to the other procedure.” (Horne, volume 4, page 1017.)
