Then you really should write that book. See, Litwin is trying to sell a story that sounds kind of phony to me. From what I can gather, he is saying that he saw the Geraldo show in 1975, but then flipped with the HSCA report in 1979. Well, that makes for about four years as a critic of the WC. Even back in 1979, there was a rather large sized library to read and digest. So I find it hard to buy that he did do that in four years. Secondly, if he could have been swayed by the HSCA technical panels, then he did not analyze them with very much rigor, like getting on the phone and calling people. Further, the declassified docs show just how bad they were e.g. Canning complained about the data he was getting to do his trajectory tests. And he admitted that if that data was wrong, then his test were wrong. This makes me suspect that the pretext of his book is just that, one that is simply assumed for political purposes. But yours would not be. Which would make it really interesting.

Bob Harris does good work in his videos on the JFK case. If you have not seen his destruction of Dale Myers' cartoon you should. But I accidentally stumbled onto this one. A laugh riot.

David, he has a book out. It is cowritten with William Law, and through, Trine Day.

You mean you bought the WR until 2013?

Nice job David. God, this woman's story is so full of holes. I especially like the fact that she is working on a super secret project but has to worry about being evicted? I agree that is one long bus ride also. Carol Hewett tracked her story for CBS. She said from the time she dropped out of college until she arrived in New Orleans, she could not follow it at all. And Carol was a first class attorney who graduated from UT at Austin.

CBC is only one instance. This guy is really in deep with the whole alt/right movement. He got Ronald Radosh to of a blurb for his JFK book. If you don't know, he was the former leftist professor turned right-winger who spent his life on the Rosenberg case. And there is still more to come.. The GOP Noise machine loves to promote these types of people. They can say, "Look, he saw the light, so can you." What happened in the last election was a product of exposure of who Trump is. That is why his approval ratings are in the thirties right now. Fred Litwin is running a fraud, he is protected by his friends and colleagues. There should be a way for unsuspecting people not to fall for his platform. My article in on the first page of both Bing and Yahoo. It will soon be at Google. That is my first salvo.

BTW, is this a true story, or Inspired by a true story. The latter is the new rubric for Holly wood BS

That film is called Crisis. It was made back in the sixties by the cinema verite film maker Charles Drew. If you want to see the revised approach to JFK and his career, you should have seen the Robert Dallek based two hour special at the fiftieth. A real stinker. I look at this as PBS being hard up because of all the cut backs by the GOP and having to go to private foundations. It was the same thing I found in the Burns' ten parter on Vietnam. Which somehow could not mention NSAM 263.

Paz: The days of our side taking this crapola are over. If you don't knock it down then the implicit message is that it has some kind of value. This is the mistake Jim Garrison made with that whole mafia connection. It took hold. Even Oliver Stone bought into it. Until Bill Davy and myself decided to demolish it in print and public. That was also the mistake we made with Posner. Weisberg's book was too little too late. Dave Starks' idea of arranging 100 mistakes of fact and interpretation was a good one but that came late also. This is why I did what I did with Bugliosi's 2, 646 page cinder block, since I knew that no one was going to do the lengthy and thorough demolition of that book that was needed. People very much appreciated that effort. And it greatly disturbed the other side, just ask David Von Pein. When you expose someone in all of their incompetence and stupidity, that is not giving them exposure. The only way one can conclude that is if one does not read the article. No one, repeat: no one, likes getting a bad review. Whether its a book, a play, a movie or a recording. I know this since I used to write movie reviews. Analyzing in depth why LItwin is either stupid or a prevaricator, and showing with declassified documents that Garrison was correct elevates the DA and shows why Litwin is worthless. If you don't want to read the article then fine, that is your option. But that is the effect if you do read it. But also, by using these declassified documents, I show the reader that the mythology the other side is trying to create: that the ARRB produced nothing of value is BS. Because I am one of the few people who has read them. That is why Stone wanted me to do the AV supplement to the DVD of his film when it came out. Many people liked since it exposed the attacks on him as being gaseous. Just ask Reitzes. But also, what this does is it motivates and empowers our readers to take action. How many of them have read these documents? I know this is the case since they send me copies of their communications to either the publishing entity or the author. They very much like not being made to feel powerless. And there really is not anyone, except maybe 2 other people, who can do this with the New Orleans aspect except me, since I know it well. There is more coming. The days of suffering in silence are over. Me 2

Yes David that lists the camera. But I distinctly recall seeing the actual camera lying on the floor but not within a spread out display of the evidence. It was laying against the wall horizontally. I could have sworn someone here captured it, maybe Ray M?

I could have sworn I once saw a picture of the MInox in the DPD prop room laying on the floor up against the wall. I think something was on top of it. I thought it was on this site. Does anyone recall that picture? If you do, can you retrieve it?

BTW, since Litwin dropped his morsel of his book here he has been a busy beaver. He had a brief article in Toronto Star, and did a TV show in Ontario. He also had said that he turned went from one side to the other in the space of four years. That is from the Z film ABC showing to the HSCA report. Pretty short time he was a JFK Conspiracy Freak. Fred did another article for an online journal which I will discuss in a separate article. We may have to set up something called the Litwin Watch.

I did notice that AOL article, which was not as bad as the first one. I mean, why not talk about something genuine like what he did with civil rights? I mean if i could do this why couldn't some reporter at AOL have done it? Or how about his showdown with the steel companies? Or the Missile Crisis? Or the American University speech? This is what I mean about this cottage industry and how effective it has become.

So Don, is your conclusion that Nixon was there for a prisoner exchange of OPLAN 34 ARVN guys?

Yes that is what I recalled. They worked Saturday, but not with the public. And you are saying the camera coverage would have caught him anyway? What is the significance of the signature at the bottom?

Isn't there an exception about that Saturday closing David?

Ron: Whenever DVP brings up his WC ideas of the Tippit murder, just link to this article https://kennedysandking.com/john-f-kennedy-articles/the-tippit-case-in-the-new-millennium This includes the newest research on that case and shows the cover up that the WC performed on the death of Tippit. The whole timeline of TIppit's activities from about a little before noon to the time he is killed was completely concealed by the Warren cover up artists. That is why I had to use McBride's book to put together what he was really doing in the last hour of his life. You will never find that out from the WR. Jim Garrison did a fairly nice job on that case but I don't think he ever got to the importance of Croy and Westbrook and their BS stories. Or how Hill did the cover up through the press on that. BTW that article on Tippit really hit a nerve. Talk about a lot of views.

Cory, Since when is Jenkins a physician? And he was not a pathologist either. Also, you have threads on that already. DVP just added in those senseless quotes form Humes, because he doesn't know jack about New Orleans. You do, so it would be more proper for me to ask you to comment on Litwin's chapter on Jim Garrison.

Davey did not even know about the disappearing particle trail that Humes reported on and then was forced to take back in 1996 under questioning by Jeremy Gunn. The reason that was done, and also the entrance hole raised, was to negate the evidence of more than one bullet strike in the skull. The other reason was to eliminate the lie in the Rydberg drawings about JFK's head being anteflexed in a position it was not in the Z film. Look Davey, the medical evidence is a real loser for your side. Which is why you and Ayton were so skimpy about it in your grossly mistitled book. Why don't you drop it and go back to what the title of the thead is? Oh, because you don't know jack about New Orleans.

Paul, are you trying to hurt my feelings? Its in my book, Destiny Betrayed, on page 104. Good source also, Joe Oster. When Oster quit 544 Camp Street, he went to work for Southern Research, which eventually became Wackenhut.

That is for sure. Banister probably hated JFK for that issue. Banister was part of the state Sovereignty Committee. Those nutty states rights groups who wanted segregation forever. And he thought the civil rights groups were commie fronts and ridiculed JFK for being friendly with them. Hanging out with George Lincoln Rockwell. Any BTW, Delphine Roberts was as rightwing as Banister was. She picketed catholic churches for desegregating their schools. For people today its hard to understand just how radioactive the integration issue was back then. But I am old enough to remember those things since they were televised since they made such dramatic visual images. For instance, I will never forget the face-off at Alabama between Wallace and Katzenbach. After doing the research I am now convinced that the reason Wallace eventually stood aside was he knew that if he resisted Kennedy's order, the judge was ready to jail him for obstruction of justice. The judges on that Fifth Circuit were the real hidden heroes of the whole struggle in the south . Bobby Kennedy knew he could count on them in the end.

Yes WN, I do sometimes feel like Jack Webb and that speech, "Its an endless, glamorless, thankless job that's gotta be done." But every once in awhile you get some moment of gratification. Like now when you google the Kennedys and Civil Rights, this article is on page one of Yahoo and Google.

To get back to the real world and the topic at hand, if I recall correctly, I don't think Butler testified before Garrison's grand jury. In fact, that might be why he left New Orleans. But he later did return. And he set up a rightwing radio station with some people who were friends of Ferrie's, like Layton Martens. This was in support of the Contra War under Reagan. It was at that time that Ed Haslam, then an advertising employee, went to the station and discovered that Butler had kept some of Banister's files over the years. Butler is a fascinating character who knew the whole underside of that New Orleans anti Castro network. In fact, I think it was Butler who got Gordon Novel involved with that proposed city wide telethon in 1961, where a man who greatly resembled David Phillips was in Banister's office as one of the organizers. And then of course, he was part of the alleged exposure of Oswald as a Russian defector on local media. To me that was probably part of the whole CIA anti FPCC campaign. Which we know was run by Phillips. New Orleans was the perfect place for the setting up of Oswald in the summer of 1963.

Another thing that I always found interesting about Butler was how he got out of New Orleans and went to LA after Garrison got onto him. But he packed up the INCA files before he left. The other thing that is interesting is that he had at least a part of Banister's files after his death. Which means he had to be closely involved with 544 Camp Street. Is Butler still alive?

Here you go Ron, all you need to know about the rightwing New Orleans psy wars specialist who did so much to get the word out about LHO in the hours after the assassination even before LHO was killed. https://kennedysandking.com/john-f-kennedy-articles/ed-butler-expert-in-propaganda-and-psychological-warfare Anybody who says, like Fred Litwin, there was nothing happening in New Orleans is full of it.
