Ashton Gray Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) Who was Joseph F. Dryer—really? I mean who was he in the grander scheme of things? I think I have available to me most of what was made available arising from his testimony, but it seems to skim the surface, and doesn't explain in any small way why he was in a position to provide credible letters of reference for Clemard Joseph Charles to top government officials, or how or why Dryer would have been in a position to provide Charles with contact information for Dorothe Matlack (sometimes Dorothy Matlack). In a related research project, something rather odd turned up associated with a Joseph F. Dryer, Jr. that I feel I should at least mention. Jr. is listed as being Chairman of the Board and CEO of a curious corporation called Autosafe, Inc., about which precious little can be found. Jr. also is listed as having come to this position from having been a Senior Vice President of Shearson American Express with "extensive European experience." There is another Dryer listed as a director of Autosafe, Inc., Gregory C. Dryer, whose sketchy background is, if anything, even more interesting: "Head of European Private Equity for Robertson Stephens International and former Head of Private Equity, North and South America, for Banque Paribas, France's second largest bank." This froze attention because of the following passage in the documents referenced in the George Bush of the CIA thread: WUBRINY/1 [Thomas James Devine] said that M. CHARLES [Clemard Joseph Charles] made an unusual statement in this connection and announced that the third partner (in addition to M. CHARLES and deM [George DeMohrenschildt]) a Frenchman is arriving in New York on Sunday and a meeting has been set up for WUBRINY/1 [Devine] to meet him on Monday. In this connection, M. CHARLES amazing statement was, "It is not appropriate for a banker to ask for money, " and he then deferred further discussion until the arrival of the French partner. Of course there may be no connection. I'm hoping someone can help open this Joseph F. Dryer issue up more for closer inspection. Pursuant to that, I'm seeking several NARA documents cited in A.J. Weberman's Nodule 10 that he only partially quotes and that are listed as: NARA 1993.07.29.17:17:58:710028 NARA 1993.08.05.14:10:03:090007 NARA 1993.07.3111:53:12:340047 NARA 1993.07.31.11:51:57:280047 Any help would be appreciated.

Ashton Gray Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) More on Mr. Dryer: Joseph F. Dryer lived in West Palm Beach, Florida (often just called "Palm Beach"). I think it perhaps germane to post, first, this excerpt from "George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography": The unique, bizarre setup on Jupiter Island began in 1931, following the merger of W.A. Harriman and Co. with the British-American firm Brown Brothers.The reader will recall Mr. Samuel Pryor, the "Merchant of Death." A partner with the Harrimans, Prescott Bush, George Walker, and Nazi boss Fritz Thyssen in banking and shipping enterprises, Sam Pryor remained executive committee chairman of Remington Arms. In this period, the Nazi private armies (SA and SS) were supplied with American arms—most likely by Pryor and his company—as they moved to overthrow the German republic. Such gun-running as an instrument of national policy would later become notorious in the "Iran-Contra" affair.Sam Pryor's daughter Permelia married Yale graduate Joseph V. Reed on the last day of 1927. Reed immediately went to work for Prescott Bush and George Walker, as an apprentice at W.A. Harriman and Co.During World War II, Joseph V. Reed had served in the "special services" section of the U.S. Army Signal Corps. A specialist in security, codes and espionage, Reed later wrote a book entitled "Fun with Cryptograms".Sam Pryor had had property around Hobe Sound, Florida, for some time. In 1931, Joseph and Permelia Pryor Reed bought the entirety of Jupiter Island.This is a typically beautiful Atlantic coast "barrier island," a half-mile wide and nine miles long. The middle of Jupiter Island lies just off Hobe Sound. The south bridge connects the island with the town of Jupiter, to the north of Palm Beach. It is about 90 minutes by auto from Miami—today, a few minutes by helicopter.Next, I think it of some interest to point out these quotes of note from the currently MIA Mr. Tosh Plumlee: Wednesday, 20 November 1963Beginning November 20, 1963, I was assigned to be a co-pilot on a top secret flight, which was attached to a Military Intelligence unit and supported by the CIA. Our mission, we were told, was to 'Abort' a pending attempt on the President's life which was to take place in Dallas. ...Our team was based out of South Florida. My pilot for this operation was Emanuel Rojas. We had flown together before. I was the co-pilot for this operation. The first leg of the flight would be from Lantana, Florida (about five miles south of West Palm Beach)...Monday, 25 November 1963The post-mission debriefing was held on November 25th...in West Palm Beach by Rex Beardsley, Bob Bennett and, I believe, Tracy Barnes. ...The report was transmitted to field headquarters Miami to JM/WAVE Headquarters, and the CIA’s Miami Cuban Desk.Ashton Gray Edited January 10, 2007 by Ashton Gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Richards Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 At the time of Joseph Dryer's testimony he was said to be a stock broker from the Loeb & Rhodes Co. in Palm Beach, Florida. This Dryer was also a Marine who fought in WW2. Dryer below. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Richards Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Nice work, Ashton. I believe Mark Valenti was looking for a photo of Jesus. BTW, do you have one of Moses parting the Red Sea? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Parker Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Nice work, Ashton. I believe Mark Valenti was looking for a photo of Jesus.BTW, do you have one of Moses parting the Red Sea? James Do not be fooled, James. The military guy on the left is undoubtedly the real, historical Jesus H Christ. The other person is a creation of the RSP/CA (Roman Secret Police - Consensus Audacium division) for use as a doppleganger - though he apparently preferred using only Christ's middle name.

Ashton Gray Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 Back on 10 January of this year, in the first message of this thread, I wrote: I'm seeking several NARA documents cited in A.J. Weberman's Nodule 10 that he only partially quotes and that are listed as:NARA 1993.07.29.17:17:58:710028 NARA 1993.08.05.14:10:03:090007 NARA 1993.07.3111:53:12:340047 NARA 1993.07.31.11:51:57:280047 Any help would be appreciated. I'm renewing this request for help in locating these documents. I'm in a state of when it comes to locating NARA documents by any such numbering scheme through the use of the internet. Does anyone know if it's even possible? If not, can anyone tell me how I go about finding these documents through any means at all? All that failing, does anyone know how to contact Weberman? As in January, any help would be appreciated, and now even would be greatly appreciated. (No, I do not and will not tap dance.) Ashton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
