Hi Paul - thanks for ploughing through that - and it does not absolve them - but depending on the role of Col. Burris, it might absolve LBJ as the mastermind of the Dealey Plaza operation - as well as the Mafia - because though they killed before they were incapable of utilizing the very sophisticated Psychwar techniques - black prop ops were a tightly held commodity - and only a few people were trained and could use them. LBJ was given the choice - go with the Castro Cuban Cover story - and foreign communist conspiracy - and go to war over Cuba - or the Lone Nut scenario - and he chose the latter - between 7-9 pm while holed up in the VP EOB offices - and placated the Pentagon by telling them he would give them their war - but in Vietnam not Cuba.

Gotcha - especially Hinkley since his attack on Reagan came a few weeks after the SHNS report - leaked by the NSA - that is one of the cited Psychwar black prop ops - BK

Thanks for taking the time to read it Mark and David, and I think I may be on to something that has to be more thoroughly drawn out and fill in the details - and since I am still developing this alternative theory that fits all of the facts - all feedback is welcome. What's with McVeigh? BK

After reading this review of Shenon's book - former HSCA investigator Dan Hardway called me and said that even though he is credited in the book and talked to Shenon, tried to set him straight and gave him a lot of information that Shenon didn't use - it was quite clear to Hardway that Shenon was not interested in anything that didn't support his contention that Oswald was encouraged or plotted with Castro Cuban Communists in Mexico City, - the original cover story. I have incorporated my review of Shenon's book into the longer Universal Field Theory of Dealey Plaza that can accept Oswald being the lone shooter or the Patsy - it doesn't really matter in the overall scheme of things once you recognize the fact that whatever you believe happened at Dealey Plaza - it was a covert intelligence operation, the proof of which lies in following the sources of the Castro Cuban Commie cover-story that was a distinct part of the plan. JFK said that problems that are created by man can be solved by men, and despite the failures of both the Lone Nut and Conspiracy Thories - we can figure out how JFK was killed and from there - figure out who did it and why. Just a few years ago we knew of no other habitable planet revolving around a sun in our galaxy - but then a scientist discovered that while we can't actually see the planets, we can see their shadow as it passes by its sun - making the sun seem to blink - and now using this system scientists and sometimes amateur astronomers are discovering new planets almost every day. Using the same idea - we can clearly see that the violent attack on JFK at Dealey Plaza was a "military style ambush" and covert intelligence operation that utilized a psychwar black propaganda operation that attempts to blame the assassination on Castro Cuban Communists - an operation that continues today in the form of books by Brian Lattel and Phillip Shenon, clearly in the Mockingbird Orchestra choir. JFKCountercoup2: Universal Field Theory of Dealey Plaza

How JFK Was Killed There are many books that try to explain who killed JFK and why - but by figuring out how JFK was killed - the Dealy Plaza MO -Modus Operandi - that of a successful covert intelligence operation - a planned military ambush - we can get closer to the truth as to who and why it was done. The Dealwy Plaza ambush was an operation that was piggy-backed by a Psychwar black propaganda operation that failed to be convincing - that Castro Cuban Communists were behind what happened at Dealey Plaza - but one that successfully helps keep the real truth from becoming known, recognized and accepted. Combined and Updated - JFKCountercoup2: Universal Field Theory of Dealey Plaza Everybody wants to talk about Oswald - the Patsy - why not try to follow my long but relatively simple theory that proves conspiracy by following the psychwar black prop op cover story that leads you directly to those who were actually responsible and shows you how the murder was accomplished? Your thoughts and comments appreciated because this is a works in progress - BK

"Stop spending so much time being James Bond and get a job, you got kids to feed." - Marina to Lee H. Oswald LHO being 007 Of course non of the attempts to discern a motive can be found since Oswald wasn't the sixth floor sniper but was set up as the designated patsy, just as he said he was.

A Cruel and Shocking Twist http://jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-cruel-and-shocking-twist.html Phillip Shenon's book A Cruel and Shocking Act (2013 Macmillan) Audio version by Robert Petkoff. Review by Bill Kelly As a serious and respected journalist Phillip Shenon deserves a listen when he says the whole truth about the assassination of President Kennedy has yet to be told, that much of the evidence and many of the official records have been destroyed, and there are still some unquestioned witnesses who have been ignored or intimidated into silence. Among the destroyed evidence, some incinerated, some flushed down toilets, others simply gone missing, include original autopsy notes and photos, Oswald's note to the FBI, backyard pictures, JFK's brain, Jackie's pink pill box hat - all gone. And Shenon doesn’t mention the missing Air Force One radio tapes, the Secret Service radio tapes, “Mary's box” of evidence lost by the Dallas PD, the ONI investigative reports on Oswald, the USMC report that concluded Oswald was not capable of committing the assassination alone, and private interviews with Oswald's USMC buddies – all gone missing. So we are left with what Shenon calls a "Duel Curse," too little direct evidence has survived, yet thanks to the JFK Act - too much has been released - millions of pages of government documents, too much for any one person to read it all, yet Shenon doesn't mention that there are still so many records being withheld for reasons of national security that the National Archives can't even tell us how many. Shenon says that no one person can read it all, but he himself reads the Prologue to the audio version of his book in which he tells us how he came to this story - while sitting at a desk of the New York Times Washington DC office when he got a phone call from a former Warren Commission attorney who wanted the truth to be told - "the best detective story you have never heard." So you know right off the bat where this book is coming from. The former Warren Commission staff attorney, who prefers to remain anonymous in fear of the wrath of his still living former Commission colleagues, now claims he is outraged by what "they did not see" and have learned over the years, critical and crucial facts that should have been provided the president's commission, especially the CIA plots to kill Castro, and Shenon calls attention to the mysterious and bizarre escapades in Mexico City. This is the book that I thought Max Holland was writing as an apologist for the Warren Commission, but rather than the Commission getting it right, Shenon sees their failures as a reason to revisit the case, though he puts on blinders that keeps him from including anything except the facts that support the possibility the assassination plan was "hatched or encouraged" by Cuban Communists in Mexico City. These blinders effectively shield Shenon from other aspects of the same story that point to a different conclusion, one that Oswald's mother and her lawyer Mark Lane make - the idea that Oswald was not the lone assassin, but an intelligence operative and designated patsy. But it is not the crazy concoction of a looney mother and her lawyer as Shenon makes them out to be, but it is a serious consideration that others, including George deMohrenschildet, Gaeton Fonzi, Sen. Richard Schweiker, Peter Dale Scott, John Newman and other more responsible analysts have also made. Central to Shenon's thesis is a Mexico City Twist Party, which he learned about from some of the recently released records of State Department mid-level diplomat Charles William Thomas, whose suicide is said to be related to the failure of the government to act on the information he provided about the Twist Party and its possible association to the assassination. Others have been down this alley before, as the Twist Party has been the subject of previous analysis, though you wouldn't know it from Shenon's book. On the day after the assassination the wife of the CIA's Mexico City Station Chief Win Scott was the first to hear about and mention the Twist Party and it was brought up again by others, including CIA agent June Cobb, and the story was investigated and included in other published works - Anthony Summers Not In Your Lifetime, Peter Dale Scott’s Deep Politics, John Newman's Oswald and the CIA, Jeff Morley's Our Man in Mexico and Gus Russo's Brothers in Arms. All of the reports about the Twist Party can be traced back to one particular source - Elena Garro Paz, who recognized the accused assassin of President Kennedy - Lee Harvey Oswald, as having been in attendance at a Twist Party in Mexico City, a party that was hosted by the brother-in-law of Sylvia Duran, who was also in attendance at the party with another Cuban embassy officer, both of whom dealt with Oswald when he visited the embassy in an attempt to get a visa to Cuba. Others at this party include Elena Garro Paz's daughter Elena, a communist writer Emilio Carballido, a General Jose Jeus Clark Flores, a red haired Latin negro and two American gringo beatniks, one of whom was a tall blond and the other a movie actor. It was at this party that the communist Carballido and the Cuban embassy officials were allegedly overheard talking to Oswald about killing Kennedy, and where Shenon says the plan to kill the President was possibly "hatched or encouraged" by the communists there. On the day after the day after the assassination - November 23, 1963, Elena Garro Paz - the primary source of the story, was whisked away to the Hotel Vermont by a Mexican security officer – Manuel Calvillo, who kept her incomunicato for a week “for her own protection,” while at the same time, Sylvia Duran was twice arrested and violently interrogated by Mexican security officers until she confessed to having a sexual affair with Oswald. Syliva Duran is clearly the principle player in this drama and in subsequent interviews with Anthony Summers, Gus Russo and now Shenon, she denies ever meeting Oswald outside of the Cuban embassy, and she has been consistent in her denials, although others have reported that she privately admitting otherwise. According to the other reliable sources, Sylvia Duran met with Oswald outside of the embassy on two occasions, other than the Twist Party, once at a fancy restaurant where she is said to have introduced Oswald to the Cuban Ambassador to Mexico, and then she met Oswald for lunch at Sanborns, a popular restaurant near the American Embassy where Oswald was also known to frequent. Enhancing her credibility however, is Duran's acknowledgement of having an affair with someone at the American embassy and with Carlos Lechuga, the former Cuban Ambassador to Mexico. While Shenon reports on the Duran-Lechuga affair, he neglects to mention the key fact that Lechuga was the chief Cuban intermediary in the secret JFK-William Atwood-Lisa Howard-Lechuga-Castro backchannel negotiations that were on-going at the time of the assassination (See the Chase memo), what Arthur Schlesinger said would have been sufficient motive for anti-Castro Cubans to kill JFK - if they knew about it, and they apparently did. These same CIA backed anti-Castro Cubans were also engaged with Oswald in New Orleans, (and possibly in Florida and Dallas), and were part of the failed black propaganda disinformation campaign to blame the assassination of JFK on Castro and the Cuban Communists. And there is not one, but over a dozen examples of the clearly false attempts to do this, including the now infamous Twist Party. [see: Disinformation Link]. John Newman, as one of the best authorities on the released records concludes: "The anomalies in the story about Oswald's activities in Mexico City that proliferated in CIA channels do seem to fall into a pattern suggesting an extraordinary possibility: the story was invented....to falsely implicate the Cuban government in the assassination." There are other case studies to support this contention, all of which have been explored elsewhere, but the Twist Party is a good example. After Win Scott's wife, the government's files indicate that Clark Anderson was the second US embassy officer to officially call attention to the Twist Story, then June Cobb (Still secret report of October 5, 1964) and then CIA Covert Action officer Jim Flannery reported on it (October 12, 1964), so the story had made the rounds of the embassy before Charles W. Thomas first reported it on December 10, 1965. The Twist Party is also mentioned in the Lopez Report of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), and was followed up on by Summers, Newman, Russo and now Shenon. Before we get to Charles Thomas, who brought Shenon into the story, something must be said for June Cobb, a voluptuous CIA operative and Mata Hari who slept her way into Castro's confidence and became his secretary and translator when he first came to power and set up his headquarters in the Havana Hilton. The hotel at the time was then managed by Col. Brandeister, a Military Intelligence officer who reported to the same Pentagon office as Col. Sam Kail, who was working out of the American embassy in Havana when Castro took power. While working for Castro June Cobb translated a book, The Shark & the Sardine, which Lee Harvey Oswald checked out of the Dallas library on November 7, 1963, two weeks before the assassination. After leaving Castro Cobb went to Mexico City where she literally moved in with Elena Garro Paz, her sister Deba and teenage daughter Elena, all of whom attended the Twist Party, so it wasn't long before Cobb heard about it and reported it to the CIA in a memo that was still secret and withheld for reasons of national security when Newman first published his book Oswald and the CIA (though it might be available now). Since Newman has learned a lot more about June Cobb and mentioned her frequently in his presentation at the Bethesda conference in September, we can expect to read more about her in Newman's upcoming new book. Whether true or not, the idea that the CIA files indicated that Sylvia Duran had sex with both Carlos Lechuga and Lee Harvey Oswald certainly merits a raised eyebrow, but not for the reasons Shenon gives - that it implicates the Cuban government with Oswald and thus the assassination. Actually the Duran-Oswald-Lechuga menage a tois and the Twist Party implicate the CIA and the anti-Castro Cubans in an apparently well planned and complex psych-war caper to implicate Castro and Cuban Communists in the assassination. The problems with the Twist Party are many, as it is clear that the Durans hosted a number of such parties, the question being whether Lee Harvey Oswald - the historical accused assassin of President Kennedy, was in attendance at any of them - and if so, when was it? Or is this a simple case of mistaken identity? Was it just an American who looked like Oswald? Or was Oswald being intentionally impersonated, as he clearly was on other occasions? Is the whole Twist Party story a ruse? Is it part of a planned and failed attempt to blame the assassination on Castro and Cuban Communists, as much of the evidence indicates? One problem is the presence at the party of a red-haired Latin negro who was also seen twice with Oswald outside the Cuban embassy giving him money. One of these reports, by a Nicaraguan intelligence agent, had the wrong date, he later recanted and the story was proven false. This red-haired Latin negro who reportedly gave Oswald money outside the Cuban embassy has been positively identified as Oscar “Carlos” Morales Mesa. But one wonders why he hasn't been arrested as a collaborator with Oswald, the accused assassin? Why hasn't this guy been picked up off the street by Navy SEALS and delivered to the CIA and violently waterboarded as such terrorists are treated today? Another problem is the identity of the two American beat nicks, who were at the Party and then seen walking down the street with Oswald the next morning, one of whom was an American movie actor who Shenon's sources refused to identify because he is alive in the USA today and they want to protect him. Well CIA records reflect the fact that the American movie actor is Richard Beymer, of West Side Story fame, who played opposite Natalie Wood in the movie version of the Broadway musical that was scored by Leonard Bernstein, a friend and admirer of President Kennedy who said of the assassination: "We don't want to know the truth." I quickly located Beymer in the mid-west and got him on the phone. He had not been previously questioned about this before, and was unaware that he was the subject of CIA files on the assassination of the president. Beymer acknowledged that he went to Mexico in the fall of 1963 with a friend who owned a nightclub in New York City. They went to Mexico City and tried to get a visa to Cuba, and government files indicate they contacted Sylvia Duran, just as Oswald had done. Beymer gave me the name of his old friend, fellow beat nick and traveling companion, now a Catholic priest in upstate New York, and I quickly located and talked with him on the phone as well. Both men politely answered all my questions, but neither recalled attending a Twist Party with Duran or Oswald, although since they were both young, single Americans in Mexico looking for a good time, attending a Twist Party "was something we would have done," said Beymer. From Mexico City they went to Acapulco to attend a film festival, and they were there on November 22, 1963 when they learned of the assassination as they got off the elevator in the hotel lobby. Since they were in Mexico for only a few weeks, and were there on November 22nd, it is unlikely they were there in late September when Oswald was there. Some participants have referred to the Twist Party as having taken place a few weeks before the assassination, when Beymer and his friend could have been there, but the historical Oswald could not have been. Duran estimated three possible dates for the party, but Oswald was in Mexico on only one of them. Shenon comes to the Twist Party with Charles W. Thomas, the State Department officer who committed suicide when he was wrongfully released from his job, and he fails to mention the other sources for the Twist Party story. Shenon begins his book with the story of Charles Thomas, and uses the Twist Party as a the key moment when Oswald is introduced to the cell of Cuban Communists who “encourage” him to kill the President. "And what about Charles Thomas?" Newman asks. Before going to Mexico City, Newman notes, "His previous assignment had been to Haiti; from Jan. 8, '61 to the 'summer' of '63. DeMohrenschildt arrived there on June 2, 1963 - and it seems likely that both men were there at the same time." "In another interesting coincidence," Newman writes, "Thomas became involved in deMohrenschildt's business dealings with the Haitian government." Shenon thinks is noteworthy that Manuel Calvillo, the Mexican security official who wisked Paz into a week’s seclusion after the assassination, “was also working for the CIA.” Shenon writes, “CIA records identified Calvillo as an ‘unwitting’ agent of the CIA, suggesting that he did not know that his handler worked for the agency. Investigators for the HSCA, working with the Mexican government, were unable to track down Calvillo in Mexico. He has since died.” Well Shenon should be interested to know that the same thing can be said of Charles Thomas. Newman: "In Mexico City in 1965 however, Charles Thomas was a CIA Covert Action operative, and a key player in the development of the Oswald-Duran story. That story gained credibility in CIA channels in a way that leaves open an unsavory possibility: the story has been invented...to falsely implicate the Cuban government in the assassination." So Shenon, in writing about the Twist Party and making it a central part of his thesis, leaves out a lot of the previous analysis and fails to follow up on the ignored witnesses who are eager to talk. While he is correct in that there are a lot of destroyed and missing evidence and records, there are many millions of recently released documents, and you don't have to read them all, just be familiar with the published works of those who have read many of them - Summers, Newman, Russo and Peter Dale Scott. Shenon is correct in calling attention to the significance of the Twist Party story, but he is wrong to suggest that the only thing it could mean is that the Cuban Communists helped "plan" or "encouraged" Oswald to kill the President, when in fact it is one of a dozen case studies of the black propaganda effort that was launched to falsely blame Castro and Cuban Communists for the assassination. Bill Kelly Notes: I will be adding footnotes and additional notes and links to this as soon as I am able. Also, some other errata in Shenon's book: - the backyard photos were not taken in New Orleans but in Oak Cliff, Dallas. - the Lifeline radio programs were found in Jack Ruby's car on the day he killed Oswald - not the day of the assassination, and btw - the author of the articles in those programs was a former CIA propaganda expert. - Joe Goulden, who Shenon mentions making up the FBI informant number with Hugh Aynesworth, was also trying to get the Dallas assistant DA to charge Oswald with a "Communist Conspiracy," something that LBJ personally squashed on the night of the assassination. -Greer, the Secret Service driver, was indeed born in Ireland, but Northern Ireland, and didn't have an affinity with the Irish Catholic president as he was affiliated with the pro-British political associations. A Cruel and Shocking Twist

Unified Field Theory of Dealey Plaza http://jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2015/04/grand-universal-field-theory-of-dealey.html [i know if you click it says page doesn't exist but you can get to it by clicking the other link in the middle] It was a revelation to read Steven Hawking's “A Brief History of Time” and Bill O'Reilly's “Killing Kennedy” back-to-back as both try to make very complicated events easily understood by ordinary people by using basic English, common sense and reason. Sort of like the early comic-current event paperback - “Cuba for Beginners,” and its subsequent off spring, Hawking and O'Reilly try to easily explain complex subjects, and while Hawkings succeeds, O'Reilly just doesn't get it himself. Hawking: “Some are uncomfortable with issues like these because they so vividly expose the limitations of human understanding.....It turns out to be very difficult to devise a theory to describe the universe all in one go. Instead, we break the problem up into bits and invent a number of partial theories. Each of the partial theory describes and predicts a certain limited class of observations, neglecting the effects of the other quantities...” “Today scientists describe the universe in terms of two basic partial theories – the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. They are the great intellectual achievements of the first half of the century. The general theory of relatively describes the force of gravity and the larger scale structure of the universe,....while quantum mechanics....deals with phenomena on extremely small scales....however, unfortunately, these two theories are known to be inconsistent with each other – they cannot both be correct.” “These are questions of interest to us all. But modern science has become so technical that only a very small number of specialists are able to master the mathematics used to describe them. Yet the basic idea....can be stated in a form that people without a scientific education can understand. This is what I have attempted to do....” And Hawking does a splendid job of describing the evolution of man's knowledge and understanding, from a belief in a flat earth to the round earth being the center of the Universe to the earth revolving around the sun and the sun being a part of the galaxy to the understanding that there are many millions of galaxies in the known, observable universe, and that if the Big Bang theory is true, then time began at that instant and hasn't stood still since. In the same vein our understanding of what happened at Dealey Plaza should have gone through a similar evolution in accepted knowledge, and just as the two basic theories of relativity and quantum mechanics can't both be correct, JFK was either murdered by one man alone or he was killed in a more complicated conspiracy that we are still trying to figure out. But instead of taking in all of the important research and investigations that have been held over the past fifty years, Bill O'Reilly stands still in time as if the Warren Commission Report got it right after all. For starters, if Oswald was the lone assassin of JFK, wounded Governor Connally and James Tague and then killed Officer Tippit at another location, the crime is technically a spree killing, and if Oswald, the primary suspect did it all alone, he was either crazy or he was the best Lone Wolf assassin in history, and the facts of the case should indicate that. But they don't - Oswald wasn't crazy, did not have a clear motive, and claimed to be a patsy, or someone framed for the crime, as some of the evidence indicates. Just as Hawking suggests breaking down the issues into smaller parts that can be more easily studied, and some of the problems and issues that divide the Lone Nut and Conspiracy crowds can be mutually resolved. For instance it should be easily determined if it was possible for one man alone could have done all of the things attributed to him, or whether he was what he said he was, framed as the patsy. If one man alone did it all then all of the evidence should support that contention and fall into place, but it doesn't. I think it can and should be determined whether the fatal head shot originated from the front or behind, certainly something that science and physics could determine to a certainty. If Oswald was the lone sniper the Dealey Plaza Kill Zone would revolve around him, the center of action in which everything else reacts to, but if can be shown that Oswald was not capable of doing the shooting let alone devising the plan and successfully executing it alone, and was what he said he was, framed as the patsy, then JFK must have been shot by someone else, and suspects other than Oswald must exist – and they do. [see: Other Suspects] If Oswald was the lone gunman and the assassination was the random act of a madman, then Oswald's personality profile would indicate that he was a paranoid skidzo with psycho tendencies, and his personality would be studied intently by psychologists, but its not. Instead, Oswald fits the Covert Operational Personality (COP) profile – one that fits very defined and unique character traits – including training in foreign language and the crafts and techniques of intelligence, the use of aliases, post office boxes and keeping an apartment separate from the family. [COP Profile - http://jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2013/12/assassination-psychology-and-cop-profile.html ] Just as Hawking says - theories and models are used to try to determine the true state of universal affairs, similar theories and models can be used to better understand what happened at Dealey Plaza. Hawkins: “A theory is a model, or a restricted part of it, and a set of rules that relate quantities in the model to observations that we make.” A more general definition of a theory is “the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another; a belief, policy or procedure proposed or followed as a basis of action; a plausible or accepted general principles offered to explain a phenomena; a hypothesis assumed for the sake of argument or investigation; an unprovable assumption.” Just as the flat earth was eventually replaced by the model of the solar system, the Lone Nut scenario that has been used to explain what happened at Dealey Plaza has been replaced by a slew of conspiracy theories, none of which take in all of the known facts, making both models unacceptable, so a new one must be created. Doug Horne, in his five volume series of books “Inside the Assassination Records Review Board,” calls attention to a book that I recall as a college text book, “The Nature of Scientific Revolutions,” which describes how major scientific breakthroughs occurred, and as with Hawkings, he suggests that while some happened by accident or determination, taking a new and different approach to the problem often provided the new perspective to solve it. Since we can't really develop a total and complete theory of what happened at Dealey Plaza until all of the evidence, records and documents are in and released to the public by October 2017, we can safely say that neither the Lone Nut nor the Conspiracy Theory works because neither fits all of the known facts. Besides the Lone Nut and Conspiracy Theory approach to Dealey Plaza, both of which only utilize the facts that supports their basic contentions, there are two other investigative approaches – the Criminal Investigative and Counter-Intelligence CI investigative approach, both vastly different in goals. The Criminal Investigation, like those usually conducted by the police, seeks to identify forensic evidence and preserve it so it can be used in a court of law, presented to a grand jury and used to indict those suspected of crimes so they can be tried before a judge and jury. A Counter-Intelligence Investigation CII – is an investigation commissioned to determine the truth that can be known, often operates in secret, and uses unconventional (wire taps and garbage search) and sometimes illegal (break and enter) means to learn the truth. Both “The Day of the Jackal” and David Atlee Phillips fictional “The Carlos Contract” show how CI - Counter-Intelligence investigations are properly conducted in attempting to track down a Lone Wolf assassin, “Carlos” being “Carlos the Jackal” who was involved in the German Olympics attack and is now in a French prison, while Frederick Forthysite's novel was made into a popular movie that depicts an attempted assassination on French President Charles deGaul by a clever OAS assassin. In each case the suspects infiltrates the investigations as soon as they learn of them, and I'm sure the Dealey Plaza clean-up crew will be interested in what is learned about them from any CI investigation, and there have been a number of them – by the US Marine Corps, Hunt Oil and some wealthy individuals have conducted private investigations. Just as Hawking breaks down the complicated theories of relativity and quantum mechanics into smaller, more controlled sub models, we have studied the assassination in various parts – the Zapruder film, the acoustics, Oswald's movements, defection to USSR, summer in New Orleans, Mexico City, etc. and concentrate on just one aspect of the case. The MO – Modus Operandi of Dealey Plaza – the sniper ambush – is a telling sign in itself. [ The MO theory http://jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2010/10/modus-operandi.html ] On September 21, 1962 an American security agent interviewed M. Andre Ducret, a high ranking French detective and security officer about an assassination attempt on French President deGaul. “.....Investigation of the August 22 attempt disclosed that the ambush had been organized and directed by a person with military experience and this was immediately noted. The tactics employed were similar to those used by the infantry in attacking convoys....Jean-Marie Bastien-Thiry, the aeronautical military engineer who was...apprehended and who admitted having organized the attempt revealed during the course of his interrogation that if the itinerary followed by the President had been known earlier and more important the line-up of the vehicles, his tactics would have been different and more effective.” And I believe that it was the same MO – Modus Operatndi that was used at Dealey Plaza – “a military style ambush” that was “organized and directed by a person with military experience,” and the primary suspect, as former US Marine defector to the Soviet Union certainly supports that contention. In the same vein, I would like to take just one part of the Dealey Plaza puzzle to study, as I think that it cuts to the chase and leads directly to those actually responsible for whatever you believe happened at Dealey Plaza. Forget for a moment the details of the crime, and look at the case studies we've received that attempt to blame the assassination on Fidel Castro and Castro Cuban Communists. The whole idea that there was a planned, coordinated and orchestrated effort to blame Castro is part of what Sen. Richard Schweiker (R. Pa.) called “the fingerprints of intelligence,” and belies that fact that one man alone could not have committed the crime and manipulated the media to consider such an allegation without foundation. The whole idea that a psych-war black propaganda operation was conducted at the same time as the assassination, many including the alleged assassin, is evidence itself that the assassination was a well-planned and successfully executed plot, and one that can be understood even though it was designed with built in covert deceptions to shield the real sponsors of the assassination. For beginners, such psych war, black propaganda and covert operational techniques are not generally known or utilized except by those who have been properly trained, and therefore the suspects are automatically limited to a small number of potential masterminds who could have pulled off such a feat, men like Ed Lansdale, David Atlee Phillips, E. Howard Hunt, James Jesus Angleton, David Morales, Jake Esterline and maybe a few others who have successfully kept their roles secret, as planned. We know most about such operations when they fail – such as the Bay of Pigs and Watergate, while the successes – like Dealey Plaza, go without proper investigation. Grand Universal Field Theory of DP Stephen Hawking in "A Brief History of Time," says that because the universe is so big the problems associated with understanding it are broken into smaller more manageable issues. "We break up problems into bits and invent a number of partial theories," Hawking says, an approach I want to apply to Dealey Plaza. Just as the two basic theoretical enigmas - the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics are incompatible and both can't be correct, the conclusions of the Warren Report or the HSCA Final Report are incompatible and one must be wrong. Rather than taking either side of an uncompromising debate I suggest a different approach be taken and like scientists answering questions about the cosmos, we break up the Dealey Plaza issues - not only into more easily managed areas - acoustics, ballistics, graphics, medical, etc., but also try to answer more reasonable questions - such as: 1) The direction of the head shot 2) The number of gunman 3) Oswald's role - Sniper or Patsy? 4) Was Oswald on missions to Moscow and Mexico City? 5) Dealey Plaza Modus Operandi - Military style ambush 6) What evidence and records have been destroyed? By who? 7) What evidence and records are missing? 8) How many documents are still being with held? 9) Are there any more records or witnesses out there? 10) Were Psych-War Black Propaganda Programs used at Dealey Plaza? These are questions that can and should be answered and I have taken the last question first, and can convincingly demonstrate that there was a well-planned and expertly executed but failed psychwar campaign to blame what happened at Dealey Plaza on Castro, and the very fact that operation took place is proof that the assassination was not the act of a deranged madman but a covert intelligence operation that continues today. Until relatively recently the earth was the only known planet capable of supporting life, but then scientists detected a means of discovering such planets circling Suns in other solar systems by observing the blinking shadow created as the planet passes through the light of the sun and voila! - now such planets are routinely discovered. Just as astronomers figured out a way to find other planets in the galaxy, I think it's possible to detect and positively identify covert intelligence operations at work even though they are designed to be deceptive and conceal their true sponsors. We can do this by recognizing and following the deception and cover-story or in the case of Dealy Plaza - the cover stories that continue today to falsely blame the assassination on Castro Cuban Communists. While those who killed JFK are all probably dead, the intelligence they were affiliated with continues to function and the Castro Cuban Commie cover-story for the Dealey Plaza hit is still being used as an off-the-shelf ready-to-go program that is used whenever such a distraction or deception is needed. John Hinkley for instance, is now asking the court to let him go home, the mental illness that led him to shoot President Reagan cured - but was the attack a planned covert intelligence operation? I don't know, but I submit the evidence that the March 30, 1981 attack at the D.C Hilton was preceded by 18 days by a March 12 Scripps-Howard News Service (SHNS) report "leaked" by the NSA that Castro would try to kill Reagan "like he killed Kennedy." While this report may be relevant to the Hinkley attack on Reagan it is even more significant in regards to the very detailed and elaborate black propaganda campaign to blame Castro for what happened at Dealey Plaza. http://jfkcountercoup2.blogspot.com/2015/04/castro-to-kill-reagan-like-he-did-jfk.html

Evidence can be anything that convinces someone of a fact or the truth - and photo evidence does not reach the level of complete belief or satisfaction of beyond a reasonable doubt. Not just in this specific incident but in every case. BK

Killing Bill O'Reilly at JFKCountercoup http://JFKCountercoup.blogspot.com/2015/03/killing-bill-oreilly.html/?m=1

June Cobb figures in my review of Phillip Shenon's book Cruel and Shocking Act - at my blog JFKCountercoup - Which I think is an important story http://jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2015/03/Phillip-Shenon's-cruel-and-shocking-act.html?m=1

None of the photo evidence is a Game Changer - they said that about Oswald in the doorway and it turned out to be Lovelady, they said that about the Tramps and we still can't agree on who they are despite the clear pix, and Landsdale at DP, etc. Despite the great strides in facial recognition software - nobody seems to have even tried to get a specialist to look into this - Game Changers must be solid - undesputable evidence of an assassination related crime not attribuable to Oswald that is admissible in court or can be investigated by Congress - and they are out there. And yes Thomas, I will make you a copy of the tape and send into you as soon as I can - and have arranged for the original to be preserved at the Baylor Library, as we agreed. And I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what button to push to get to the most recent posting on a thread as I only go to the first post. Thanks, BK

Col. Jack Crichton was in charge of the Civil Defense Command Post - an underground nuke proof bunker bellow a museum at the Texas State Fairgrounds - that had the communications facilities to monitor all radio channels - The Secret Service-White House Communications Agency also had a base of operations in rooms at the Sheraton or Adolphis Hotel - that monitored all radio channels. Larry will know which one. BK

The distinguished and late Prof at American U also said there were no "Smoking documents" among the released records - when there are. She also wrote a chapter in an anthology book about government secrecy and got a half dozen things wrong - including the fallacy that the JFK Act was passed to put conspiracy theories to rest - when in fact it was passed to release the government's records on the assassination to the public so people could make up their own minds. BK

We've learned a lot since I wrote that and appreciate Larry Hancock's contributions - and will add some more soon. BK

I don't think it should be pinned. I agree with Murph that Oswald not the Sniper in the sixth floor window - but the photo of Prayer Man - like most of the photo evidence - is unconvincing - and there is better evidence of Oswald's innocence. Well I'm back - has anybody read my most recent stuff at JFKCountercoup and JFKCountercoup2? And thanks to Greg Parker for posting at his blog my earlier article on Bill O'Reilly and deMohrenschilts - suddenly a hot topic. BK

That's a good one Ron - should be a colonel of truth here - and I'd appreciate it if anyone would post here or send me photos or deep background on any of these gentlemen. BK

Colonels at Dealey Plaza JFKcountercoup: Colonels at Dealey Plaza Colonels are the highest ranking officers on the battlefield – what the snipers call a HPT – High Priority Target – guys who take their insignia off before going out in the open. They are the - Go To guys the Generals personally give instructions and orders to carry out. On the chess board the Colonels are Bishops, Rooks and Knights and capable of maneuvering and striking from different directions and distances. There were three colonels at the Alamo – Colonel William Barrett Travis, Colonel Jim Bowie and Colonel David Crockett. And there were a number of Army and Air Force Colonels directly involved in JFK Assassination – “boots on the ground – in the field" and at the command centers. I intend to get photos and the official files and develop dossiers on each of these men and would appreciate anything you can add to the record. Not yet arranged in any particular order: - Col.

We know of a number of official CI investigations of Oswald, one after the assassination by USMC and two others by ONI, one after defection and the other after the assassination, with the USMC report concluding Oswald was not capable of killing JFK alone. We have recorded interviews with ONI investigators who wrote the reports - reports not among the JFK collection but records the NARA doesn't even recognize are missing so they aren' looking for them. Oswald's language ability is only one of a number of attributes that identifies him as fitting the Covert Operational Profile (COP) that designates him as an intelligence operative. Others include his military training, use of Post Office boxes, alias, an apartment apart from his family and intelligence trade craft. But as the designated Patsy- Oswald had a limited role in the actual assassination BK

I ask again - Who is this "Edward J. Snowden" who wrote a book "Everything You Know About the Constitution Is Wrong".and an open letter to McAdams' boss purporting to represent JFK researchers? Why does someone cllaiming to support transparancy.and open records use an alias? I agred with Lisa Pease - McAdams is a distraction and a waste of time. BK

Military - yes - as was double-agent Ali Mohamid and were others who fit the COP - Covert Operational Personality profile - Frank Sturgis was run by AF Attache at US Embassy in Havana, not CIA. deMorn's contacts were with US Army Reserve intelligence - not CIA, The CIA is often a scapegoat for the covert actions of other agencies - especially military.

It is a fake - a part of the previously exposed Crowley - Zipper Docs - not from the JFK Collection at the NARA - but cleverly crafted forgeries that stem back to Gregory Douglas and his bogus book "Regicide." Its a disinformation ploy and not a simple scam. BK

Fitzgerald then was made chief of the Western Hemisphere division - then died suddenly - (of heart attack while playing tennis?) - and David A. Phillips eventually took that job - the third highest position in the CIA. BK

Some suspect Oswald - at least his defection, was run by ONI and not the CIA. There is am ONI defector file that is still with held - and Oswald himself wrote that if there was a Seven Days in May style coup - the USMC would be behind it. Since Oswald - as the assassin or fall guy - is part of the responsible network - he leads us to those who ran him - and were behind the Dealey Plaza operation. BK

Who is this guy alias "E. Snowden" who has an open letter against McAdams ostensibly from JFK researchers? Why can't he sign his true name? Who is he? And why does he want to represent everyone but his real self? Who would sign an open letter the author himself won't sign with his real name? Posner and McAdams can embarrass themselves without any help from us. Bill Kelly
