Yes, his prior HSCA testimony is likely the clue to his untimely demise. Some young guys fishing in the bay. They found an oil drum floating in the water. They said they could see through the holes in the drum what they thought were human remains. We had the maritime patrol boat pull it up to the shore. We got a tow tuck to take it out. It was opened at the scene. The tow truck driver helped us open it. What did you see inside? It was a big blob. A blob? Gray and white blob. With a powerful smell. It was bloated as it could get inside of this drum. Here's a short video that show's the drum on the tow truck on the way to the medical examiners office. What a dreadful job that would have been. Bing Videos Pardon my proclivity for related (usually) music videos.

Jim, you know me well enough by now to realize I can be a little bit sarcastic every now and then. I think W probably understands I was kidding him. I thought the whole Cruz's dad/JFK thing was a scam from the start created by team t to smear Cruz and distract from anything resembling policies, plans etc. There must be another story in there somewhere. Considering it's the Enquirer, with a publisher at the time named Pecker. Then along comes a porn star and a Playboy centerfold star. And, oop's, guess that belongs in the water cooler.

This was used by Chenny to develop Ford's response to the Olson's. Downplay, apologize and pay off.

But it looks so much like him in the pictures. Is it . . . fake photography?

An interesting tidbit from Alan Kent's essay A Well-Concealed T near the end of Hank Albarelli's Coup in Dallas. "Barnes and Angleton were both Yale men, and both had attended Harvard Law School, although Angleton did not graduate. Barnes, a few years older than Angleton, did not attend these institutions at the same time as did Angleton, but both men were members of Yale's secret society "Scroll and Key", the major rival of the more famous "Skull and Bones" for the souls of young Yale men. To surmise further for the moment, they and their wives were part of the Georgetown Set.

What are the odds John Roselli shortly before his HSCA testimony would disappear and later be found having been garroted, stabbed and shot. Legs cut off and stuffed in a 55 gallon oil drum with holes cut in it and wrapped in heavy chain. Dropped in the ocean. With all those contingences, probably pretty high. Separately, what are the chances the gases in his own decomposing body would be enough to lift it, the drum and chains to the surface to be washed up near shore?

No, it's not, is it. That statement is now an established fact. The Warren Omission is the invalidated theory.

65% still don't believe Oswald acted alone. Chop it up however you want. Still 65%.

Wow. So, Bundy, Bissell, Barnes and King took down Dulles, Bissell and Cabbell with the Bay of Pigs with JFK "cleaning house" (ha) afterwards. And at the same time they set up JFK for failure to start out his administration. He did take full responsibility publicly though it was Ike/Nixon's lame duck. Labeled by some as weak on Communism. It ultimately had far reaching, deadly effects.

Youngblood had to be a yes man, kisser upper, brown noser to advance under LBJ.

I've still got that album, along with Beginnings, Brothers and Sisters, and Enlightened Rouges. My favorite off Filmore East has always been Whipping Post, a full album side to itself. I guess you know the story behind Elizabet Reed? Gavin Edwards - » Who was Elizabeth Reed, the woman immortalized beautifully in the Allman Brothers song? (rulefortytwo.com)

Other than Jim Marrs interview of Senator Yarborough mentioned above from Crossfire the only thing I remember reading about this if from Joseph McBride's Into The Nightmare and his June 24, 1988 interview of Yarborough. From pages 387-388. Youngblood's 1964 Warren Commission testimony contained significant qualifiers. He said after hearing the first shot and seeing unusual crowd movement as well as movement in the Secret Service follow up car behind the president's limousine, "I turned around and hit the Vice President on the shoulder and hollered, get down, then looked around again and saw more of this movement, and so I proceeded to do to the back seat and get on top of him. I then heard two more shots. But I would like to say this. I would not be positive that I was on that back seat before the second shot. But the Vice President himself said I was". Asked to describe his movements further, Youngblood added another qualifier" "Well, the Vice President says that I vaulted over. It was more of a stepping over. And then i sat on top of him, he being crouched down somewhat." Yarborough scoffed at that story. He said Youngblood never left the front seat. The back seat was so full . . . Yarborough's description of Johnson's reaction after the shots were fired is suggestive: Absolutely motionless. Said nothing. You know the tale Johnson liked to tell about Youngblood, the Secret Service man, jumping over the front seat when the shots were fired and shielding him with his body? Well, that's as big a cock-and-bull tale as the time he told the Marines in Da Nang that his great-grand father had fought at the Alamo. [Actually Johnson told servicemen in Camp Stanley in Korea, "My great-great-grandfather died at the Alamo."] Youngblood never jumped over the seat. Johnson sat there stoically. The only time they moved was when we were going through the Tripple Overpass, and Youngblood leaned over the seat - - he had a small radio receiver in his hand - - and Johnson leaned over, they were about six inches apart, and they listened to some transmission together on the radio. I asked them what happened, and they didn't say anything. . . . They knew damn well what had happened, because when the cars pulled up at the hospital, the Secret Service men swarmed all around Johnson, and one of them said, "Mr. President." They left Mrs. Kennedy alone in the car with the body, grieving over it. They knew he was dead instantly, because his head was blown off. Mrs. Kennedy was holding onto him and wouldn't let him go until they put a suit coat around him to cover his head [Secret Service Agent Clint Hill did that].

Thank you, Larry. I do have SWHT, Nexus and Tipping Point. I thought I'd read Dulles later admitted he knew the operation would fail without the air support JFK "withheld". But he did nothing to end the CIA operation as soon as they were trapped on the beach. Didn't he also later claim that he'd left the operational planning to Bissell and was unfamiliar with the details? So, Barnes and Bissell actually bear the blame?

Were any of them asked? Yes, Youngblood, who deferred to the new president. There were other SSA's as well.
