What was the McMahon issue? I’ve tried to contact Newman more than once, unsuccessfully. Turf wars, closed shops. The article you linked by Morley indicates he wasn’t about to climb on the Tennent Bagley train. Newman certainly has, and he clearly sees Golitsyn as the real defector and Nosenko as the fake one. It’s like Angleton’s ghost with Bagley as the medium. It is interesting, as you point out, that Newman went on this tangent, and my inclination is to view him as the pied piper.

This post especially.

I found it, but not access to read it. Would you mind taking some time to explain exactly what you’re thinking? Your last few posts are intriguing but I don’t know some of the references.

You are referring to an article he wrote called ‘the fourth mole’? How can we access it?

Do we know the identity of Litamel-3?

Did the folks arguing here twice ignore your posted link to an interesting article? Sure, we can argue about this death or that death, about how to calculate probabilities. But the notion that people weren’t being killed as part of the ongoing conspiracy is just absolutely ludicrous, and I can’t believe that some of you would even approach that level. The main point, and I think Bill got to this quite well, is that a carefully curated list of deaths of journalists following the case early on, and as others have pointed out witnesses dying around the time of both the Garrison trial and the HSCA hearings, is the most convincing evidence of not just the conspiracy on the day of, but of the depth of the conspiracy going forward. Busting the single bullet theory was good, and few would argue that it has been shone to be fallacy at best, but it doesn’t show the venality of the perpetrators going forward in time. One can find excuses for the Warren Commission, not that I believe them btw, but suspicious deaths in such large numbers going forward in time for 15 years puts things in its proper context. And let’s include RFK, MLK, Malcom X here too, because the context is the continued overthrow of anything or anyone that stands in the way of the power elite.

The information in this series of posts about dead journalists is new information for me, and I think Bill Simpich makes a good case that these deaths may have dampened the enthusiasm of other journalists to follow the trail they were trying to blaze.

I’ve read both books, both great and important works.

Thanks for sharing this Doug.

Wow Bill - some doozies here since your last post. It seems to me that Newman is on the wrong track. I may be mistaken, but having had many exchanges with Tommy Graves years ago before he left the forum, I think he sees a Soviet plot to kill JFK. it also seems to me that Newman is heading in the same direction. Your research on Golitsyn and Angleton and Tennent Bagley shows the trio to be paranoid at best, and certainly up to something nefarious. Can I use the word ‘liars’? Might I ask - what is your impression of where Newman is going with all this? Blunt, Bagley, Solie? It feels like a resurrection of James Angleton.

The last time I gave it a try I asked whether Otto Skorzeny and Arnold Silver knew each other, and the response was that Otto killed Arnold during the war. Your point is well taken

How do you think that happened?

I’d like more of that

I can’t see much either, but Dallas police uniforms would make sense, certainly a favorite disguise for mafiosi. And there’s the police themselves, and officer Tippit,, whose death might be seen differently if he was a shooter. There were shots coming from at least one other direction, possibly more. Your point about shooters with foreign accents is well taken - plenty of home boy haters who could shoot.

My understanding is that Newman’s June Cobb file has disappeared.
