  1. Toronto Film Review: ‘Chappaquiddick’ http://variety.com/2017/film/reviews/chappaquiddick-review-toronto-1202553436/
  2. John Newman posted the following on Facebook yesterday (Sept. 10): I will be going to the JFK Lancer event this year (17-20 November) in Dallas, Texas. According to the plan as of now, I will be giving two presentations. The first one will be “Lee Harvey Oswald and the Angleton Molehunt.” The second one will be “Fiction is Stranger then Truth: Antonio Veciana and David Phillips—1960.” The second presentation is actually a sneak preview of Chapter Three in the forthcoming Volume III of my current series on the case—“Into the Storm.” Alan Dale will emcee the entire event. We hope to see you there and look forward to talking with you over a glass of wine in the nooks and crannies of the hotel.

  4. Those of us who founded the modern Conservative Movement in the 1950s had no idea that in doing so we were awakening an evil sleeping giant who in the best interests of mankind should be left alone to slumber undisturbed. I often wonder what William F. Buckley would be saying today. Just before he died I visited with Marvin Liebman who foresaw what was happening and bitterly remarked that “Lenin was right.” I know my college friend, David Franke, with whom I founded the National Student Committee for the Loyalty Oath in 1959, has serious misgivings about the way things turned out. In my legal file above I make clear my own viewpoint with the three following sentences: “So Black and Manafort and Stone, sad to say, are ethically challenged by-products of the modern conservative movement which decades ago was taken over by opportunists and sociopaths.” “I left Washington, D.C. in 1979 and moved to Texas once I recognized the bizarre and dangerous direction that the conservative movement was coming to embrace.” “Liberals rejoiced with Nixon being forced to resign the presidency but the immediate result was the rise of the radical right with Black, Manafort and Stone being formed as a lobbying/PR firm and the extreme right-wing oligarch Joseph Coors founding the Heritage Foundation, headed by Edwin Feulner, and the Committee for a Free Congress, headed by Paul Weyrich.” If Nixon were alive today, he most likely would be a card carrying member of the ACLU as am I. He might even be a Democrat. His removal from office in a coup that at its center was conceived and controlled by the CIA and Military Intelligence left a vacuum into which the radical right and the white supremacists stepped in. I wonder if the liberals in driving Nixon from office realized that in doing so they were opening the door for the radical right to take total control of one of our two major political parties with the end result being the disaster that we face today?
  5. John Newman posted the following on Facebook yesterday: I did a presentation last night at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), with Alan Dale, Jim Dieugenio, and William Davy. My talk was on Oswald and the Angleton molehunt in the CIA's Soviet Russia Division. It was recorded and will be posted on my website (jfkjmn.com) as soon as Randy Bensen edits it.
  6. Interview with John LeCarre From the article: S.L. Do you think the Russians really have something on Trump? B.M. I can tell you what the veterans of the S.I.S. [the British Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6] think, which is yes, kompromat was done on him. Of course, kompromat is done on everyone. So they end up, the theory goes, with this compromising bit of material and then they begin to release parts of it. They set up an ex-MI6 guy, Chris Steele, who is a patsy, effectively, and they feed him some stuff that’s true, and some stuff that isn’t true, and some stuff that is demonstrably wrong. Which means that Trump can then stand up and deny it, while knowing that the essence of it is true. And then he has a stone in his shoe for the rest of his administration. It’s important to remember that Putin is a K.G.B.-trained officer, and he thinks in the traditional K.G.B. way. J.L.C. The mentality that is operating in Russia now is absolutely, as far as Putin is concerned, no different to the mentality that drove the most exotic conspiracies during the Cold War. It worked then, it works now. As far as Trump, I would suspect they have it, because they’ve denied it. If they have it and they’ve set Trump up, they’d say, “Oh no, we haven’t got anything.” But to Trump they’re saying, “Aren’t we being kind to you?” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/25/books/review/john-le-carre-ben-macintyre-british-spy-thrillers.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=0

  8. I was there and was also one of the speakers and in my speech read aloud what Joan had written on page 14 (see above.)
  9. Joan Mellen in her book, Faustian Bargains: Lyndon Johnson and Mac Wallace in the Robber Baron Culture of Texas, opined on page 14 that "People who served Lyndon Johnson[Johnson Press Secretary George] Reedy wrote, ' were required to drop everything to wait upon him and were expected to forget their private lives in his interests.' "Mac Wallace is a case in point, his history with Lyndon Johnson a window into Johnson's methods. Wallace's story is so Intriguing because, unlike other of Johnson's acolytes, it is difficult to prove what he did for Lyndon Johnson, or what Lyndon Johnson, it turn, did for him. More than any other of Johnson's protégés and acolytes, Wallace's connection to him remains cloaked in secrecy. "In the major events of Mac Wallace's life, Lyndon Johnson remains invisible. Yet one truth is irrefutable. Everything that was positive and promising in Wallace's life came to him before he made the acquaintance of Lyndon Baines Johnson and joined Johnson's circle."

  16. Well worth the time of listening: https://whowhatwhy.org/2017/08/28/anybody-running-deep-state/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=SocialWarfare
  17. Cory: I am glad to see that you are interested in Dr. Greer's work as am I. However, the JFK assassination topic is so complex that new revelations and information keeps coming forth. His assassination was a seminal event. It takes a lot of hours of intense research to reach some form of comprehension of what occurred in Dallas. Most JFK researchers do not have the time or inclination to pursue the topic of the existence of the Alien Presence, which is a thousand times more complex that the JFK assassination. My position is that there should not be disclosure of the Alien Presence by our constituted authorities. It would lead to a meltdown of organized society. The Alien Presence has existed on Earth for tens of thousands of years and has not initiated any threatening actions up to now. JFK was first made aware of the Alien Presence when he was an officer in Naval Intelligence. His approach later as President to the Soviets on the subject was well thought out ahead of time by him but as to its exact contours we do no know today. He possessed a great deal of information and based on that had formulated a policy, one that frightened and threatened the Deep State, so that he had to be killed.
  18. No, I copied Judyth's posting just as she made it. I did not change or alter anything. Nothing is miscopied. It is what it was when she posted it.
  19. Judyth Baker wrote on Facebook today: If you want some sordid details about Bobby Baker, LBJ, the Mob, bribes, sex and drunken Senators, you'll understand why Kennedy had to die, with so many cooperating to make sure it happened that only if you're deaf, blind and have a double-digit IQ can you call Lee Harvey Oswald Kennedy's killer. Here is much more to copy and share (it's a very long and ugly story, but it's NOT boring!) Here it is, condensed to a few minutes of reading: WHEN BOBBY BAKER (LBJ'S RIGHT-HAND MAN) WAS EXPOSED FOR CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY, AS LYNDON JOHNSON'S "FIXER", ONLY KENNEDY'S DEATH COULD STOP JOHNSON AND BOBBY BAKER FROM GOING TO JAIL (Bobby Baker would end up going to jail eventually, anyway!). To show you what was going on (is it any different today?) you must read some of Bobby Baker's statements on record: BB: "Senator Johnson was very adept at taking care of senators and their wishes, and the bills that they wanted…” About Senator Dirkson: BB: "Without Senator Dirksen, the [1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965] Voting Rights Act would never have passed…. So I’ll tell you, I have great admiration for him…. He never saw a $100 bill he didn’t like.” BB on how LBJ and his cronies defeated JFK's Medicare Bill (LBJ would later take credit for it, pushing it through to gain favor with the American people): "One of the few times I did not know how the vote was going to turn out was when President Kennedy was seeking Medicare.... why Senator Jennings Randolph [D-W.Va.] voted against it. Senator [Robert] Kerr, [a Democrat from Oklahoma, and a wealthy oil magnate] had made a deal with the doctors in Oklahoma to kill Medicare. He was just adamant in his opposition to Medicare. Now, Senator Jennings Randolph was a wonderful senator … But Senator Kerr gave him $200,000 for that vote. It shows you that money can talk." (that's equal to $2M today!) Concerning bribes to Senators from Walter Reuther of The United Autoworkers Union, through Canadian banks: BB: "Walter Reuther... had a minimum of 20 senators that would vote any way he wanted. … He bought more United States Senate seats than anybody in my life." On how JFK's dad bought votes for his son in the Presidential election: "...recounting how Rein Vander Zee, an aide to Hubert Humphrey, had described Humphrey’s famous loss to JFK in the West Virginia Democratic presidential primary in 1960. BB: “Vander Zee, until his dying day, said that Humphrey would have defeated Kennedy … had it not been for that massive cash old man Joe [Kennedy] bought the election with. Ryan, being an ex-FBI man, had every sheriff in each of those counties committed to voting for Humphrey. And, boy, when Election Day came, it was total news to him. They changed on Thursday before the Tuesday. Vander Zee said, ‘They wouldn’t even return my call.’’’ (Note that Bobby Baker is implying that the SHERIFFS COULD RIG THE VOTES IN WEST VIRGINIA).... ON HOW A 'VOICE VOTE' GOT RFK HIS POSITION AS ATTORNEY GENERAL: BB: “The President had said, ‘Lyndon, I need your help,’ because Senator [Richard] Russell [D-Ga.] and the Republicans were solid against Bobby being attorney general. He had really no legal experience. Johnson said [to me], ‘If the president is defeated by my supporters, it’s a terrible, terrible, can’t do situation for me.’ He said. ‘See what you can do with our mutual friend Senator Russell, because if you get enough bourbon in him, he gets more reasonable.’ So I took him out to the secretary of the Senate’s office [THIS WAS CALLED 'THE BAR' BECAUSE SENATORS WENT THERE TO PRIVATELY GET DRUNK -jvb] and I said, ‘Your best friend loves you and he called me and he needs your help and will you please let me have a voice vote?’ And he said, most reluctantly, ‘You can have a voice vote.’ And Senator Dirksen, being a decent man, let it go through that way. But had it been a roll-call vote, Bobby Kennedy would have never been attorney general. He would have been lucky to get 40 votes." (QUOTES ABOVE ARE FROM http://www.politico.com/…/sex-in-the-senate-bobby-baker-099…) Honest researcher Jerome Corsi wrote more about BB'S & LBJ'S shady dealings in Nov. 2013: "In the middle of the Baker scandal was a vending machine company, Serve-U Corporation, from which Baker was deriving an annual gross income of $3.5 million. At that time his compensation from the Senate was less than $20,000 a year. [NOTE: BOBBY BAKER, LBJ AND MOB FIGURES SUCH AS SAM GIANCANA OF CHICAGO WERE SET TO MAKE MILLIONS IN CASINO-AIRLINE DEALS IN PUERTO RICO, ETC., AT WHICH TIME JFK AND RFK BEGAN HAVING GIANCANA FOLLOWED EVERYWHERE, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOSE THE CASINO DEALS WITHOUT BOBBY BAKER AND LBJ GETTING CAUGHT IN THE ACT. THE "COVER" FOR THE CASINO DEALS WAS "SERVE-U- CORP" VENDING MACHINE COMPANY.) "Baker and his wife, Dorothy, had five children at the time, ages 10 to 1, with the youngest named Lyndon Baines Johnson." "Serve-U Corporation had links to Texas oil millionaire Clint Murchison, as well as ties to mobsters Sam Giancana and Meyer Lansky. The company derived most of its earnings from vending machines placed in aerospace companies dependent on the government for contract work. Baker also was engulfed in a sex scandal involving the Quorum Club, a private club on Capitol Hill he created. The club was run out of the Carroll Arms Hotel near the Senate office buildings on Capitol Hill. It provided call girls to prominent lobbyists and influential members of Congress. Baker was positioned centrally, advancing his career politically and financially by trading on sex and power." [Bobby Baker and Sen George Smathers lured JFK there for primal pleasures, making sure they got him into a position where Kennedy could get blackmailed. Kennedy was vulnerable on this front because the massive doses of steroids he took for Addison's Disease made him impotent. Unscrupulous doctors then loaded his system with overdoses of testosterone. JFK's sex drive then became almost insatiable. As someone trained in the medical sciences, I recognize the stresses on JFK, and give him some slack for his behavior --and also note that LBJ and half the Senate, after all, were also sleeping around !-- especially since JFK, wearing a back brace, was in such chronic pain that most of his actual physical pleasure in life was rare. JFK and Jackie did not become truly close due to his infidelities (and Jackie reciprocated, having some affairs herself!) until after the death of their premature baby, Patrick. They then were seen kissing and holding hands in public for the first time, etc... Note that none of the above had any bearing on Kennedy's love for his country and for the American people. That love was firm and genuine. He truly gave up his life for attempting to break up the CIA, destroy organized crime, and for trying to rein in the military-industrial complex and its warrior mentality. --JVB) JEROME CORSI also wrote: "The Baker scandal broke wide open with a Life magazine cover story published Nov. 8, 1963, hitting the newsstands just three weeks before JFK’s death. The Life issue featured a front-page photograph of a laughing Baker in a costume at an unspecified Washington masquerade party with his mask lifted to show his face. A yellow banner across the cover of the magazine proclaimed: “Capital Buzzes Over Stories of Misconduct in High Places: The Bobby Baker Bombshell.” The article featured “German call girl” Elly Rometsch, an East German beauty who was a Communist Party member before fleeing to the United States with her parents. “Last week, a Senate committee was investigating Bobby Baker,” the featured article read. “He had quietly resigned after a former vending-machine associate sued him, charging use of Baker’s influence in placing machines in defense plants.” The second page of the article featured a full-page photograph of a smiling LBJ with his arms around Baker’s shoulder. The caption under the photo noted Baker was “an indispensable confident” of Johnson. Baker was described as “a messenger, a pleader of causes, a fund-raiser and a source of intelligence.” A two-page spread featured a picture of scantily clad waitresses sitting on bar stools, waiting to greet guests during the opening of the Carousel Hotel in Ocean City, Md., in 1962. The article pointed out that in addition to his interest in the vending-machine business, Baker was half owner of the Carousel as well as having business interests in a law firm, a travel agency, an insurance agency and a Howard Johnson motel. Noting that Baker had just resigned from the Senate under fire, Life asked how his $19,612 annual salary had enabled his family to move into the $124,500 Washington home he bought a short walk from LBJ’s residence in Washington... Targeting LBJ "The Life probe expanded during the week of Nov. 11, 1963...[with a big article about how] LBJ had used his public office to enhance his private wealth. ... LBJ had managed to accumulate millions in personal net worth [though] he had been on the public payroll ever since he got out of college... The Life magazine issue dated Nov. 22, 1963, that hit the newsstands on Nov. 18, 1963... contained a second article on the Baker scandal. Titled “The Bobby Baker Scandal: It grows and grows as Washington shudders"...this second article went in-depth, exposing Baker’s sleazy use of sex to rack up political favors and make lucrative business deals. Baker, according to the story, employed “hostesses,” who essentially were prostitutes, to escort lobbyists, legislators and businessmen...[it was] clear that everything about Baker led back to Lyndon Johnson... the U.S. Senate was “Baker’s base of operations,”... controlled by a small group of Southern senators and conservative Republicans called the “Establishment.” At the center of the Establishment... LBJ. CORSI: [Why we should care!] “In a very real sense the present Establishment is the personal creation of Lyndon Baines Johnson who, from the day he took over as majority leader until he went to the Vice Presidency, ruled it like an absolute monarch,” Wheeler [the article's author]wrote: [It was now clear]... “that the Bobby Baker case was inevitably going to become the Lyndon Johnson case as well.” But the JFK assassination derailed the Life investigation. No third article on the Bobby Baker-Lyndon Johnson scandal was ever published by the magazine. Stopped only by the JFK assassination... Life Magazine investigators could have ended LBJ’s political career. What to do with LBJ Kennedy's secretary, Evelyn Lincoln... insisted Kennedy wanted Johnson off the ticket, explaining JFK had implied “the ammunition to get him off was Bobby Baker.” ==JACK RUBY SPEAKS ABOUT LBJ== Ruby: "If Adlai Stevenson had been Vice-President, there never would have been the assassination of our beloved President Kennedy" Reporter: "Would you explain it again?"

  20. Thoreau, in his essay on heroism, wrote this passage that I’ve always felt was a fair description of Jack Kennedy, whose visage of vigorous health, tanned and bright smiling, masked the ravages of a life of ill health. (That his favorite poem was young Alan Seeger’s “I Have a Rendezvous with Death” rather well informs us.) “To speak the truth, even with some austerity, to live with some rigor of temperance, (or some extremes of generosity), seems to be an asceticism which co...mmon good-nature would appoint to those who are at ease and in plenty, in sign that they feel a brotherhood with the great multitude of suffering men. And not only need we breathe and exercise the soul by assuming the penalties of abstinence, of debt, of solitude, of unpopularity, but it behooves the wise man to look with a bold eye into those rarer dangers which sometimes invade men, and to familiarize himself with disgusting forms of disease, with sounds of execration, and the vision of violent death.” Will Ruha What I find most fascinating about Jack Kennedy is his indefatigable, seemingly invincible, spirit. He remained unbowed in the face of near-death, acute illness, almost unbearable pain and tragic loss, electing to project a positive, winning, charismatic and compelling demeanor that uplifted and enlightened everyone in his presence. During my meeting with Dave Powers, he couldn’t speak of Jack without his eyes misting over for the fond memories he shared with me of his good and gallant friend. He regaled me with anecdotes of his many years with Jack, and of the wit, kindness, and thoughtfulness of his close friend. Commander Ted Robinson, who spent more than two months with Jack in a hospital tent in the Solomon Islands told me, “He had just the most upbeat attitude, even when I knew he was in terrible pain.” Paul Fay Jr., who knew him for the last 20 years of his life, told me, “Jack Kennedy was the funniest guy I ever met. He always made everyone around him feel great. When he walked into a room, he just lit it up, every moment was just magical, rarefied.” And the remarkable trait he had that so endeared him to women was that he chose to be, as Flo Pritchard Smith and so many others said, “the best listener I ever knew. I mean, he was an intense listener. You never, for a moment, though he was disinterested or simply going thorough polite formalities. He listened to every word. He made you feel like he was fascinated by you; that you were, to him, the most important person in the world.” He was one of those rare human beings with the gift of great personal magnetism, an ability to attract and hold the attention and admiration of others via his sheer zest for life and ability to uplift them, make them feel special, somewhat elite not by mere camaraderie, but for being part of his charismatic coterie.
  21. Stated briefly, after our dinner at the Yenching Palace in Washington, D.C. in 1975, which was the last time I was to see Howard Hunt as he was about to enter prison for his Watergate crimes, I asked Hunt why Kennedy had been assassinated. He replied that Kennedy was assassinated because he was about to give our most vital secret to the Soviet Union. I was stunned and perplexed and asked him what was that most vital secret? He looked into my eyes and replied “The Alien Presence,” shook my hand, turned and walked away. What particular secret security project occurred while Kennedy was president that likely prompted Hunt to tell me what he did? It was the one described below: From the article: “It was during his assignment as ‘Special Assistant’ to Lt General Arthur Trudeau, who headed Army Research and Development, that Corso became head of the newly established Foreign Technology Desk. “During this assignment from 1961 to 1963, Corso claims to have regularly passed on to various corporations, key ‘foreign technologies’ that were in fact, extraterrestrial in origin.” http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/exopolitica/esp_exopolitics_ZZO.htm Col. Corso’s assignment was done under the tightest of security as those in charge of its implementation did not want the alien technologies to fall into the hands of foreign powers. JFK’s complex strategy to end the cold war and to build a relationship with the Soviet Union that would lead to world peace frightened and threatened what we now call the Deep State. This is because the Deep State has never wanted world peace as this would end the ever-lasting wars in which the U.S. engages that over the decades has brought trillions of dollars into the coffers of the Deep State. President Kennedy was killed to prevent the Soviet Union from acquiring the foreign technologies that Col. Corso was distributing to American corporations from 1961 to 1963 under a policy approved by JFK himself.
  22. I am posting my legal file on this subject in the JFK Assassination Topic of the Forum because the events described within it initially came about when Roger Stone contacted me in 2012. He requested any information that I might have on LBJ, which I was pleased to provide. In 2013 Stone published his book, The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ, which became a best-seller. In his book Stone credits me as a primary source for information, as is disclosed in the file. Thus, in a roundabout way JFK five decades after his murder is providing from the grave a nexus of how the 2016 presidential election was rigged. Don’t you think he is pleased at doing this? ************************************ DOUGLAS CADDY ATTORNEY-AT-LAW HOUSTON, TEXAS Member, Texas Bar since 1979 and District of Columbia Bar since 1970 MEMORANDUM TO THE LEGAL FILE Subject: Roger Stone, Lyndon LaRouche and Russia influencing the 2016 Presidential election Date: August 22, 2017 This memo to the file brings up to date what has occurred since I sent my letter of December 10, 2016, to FBI Director James Comey and my subsequent letter of June 27, 2017, to Special Counsel Robert Mueller in regard to the above subject. In my letter to FBI Director Comey I stated that “I knew Roger Stone of the Trump presidential campaign forty years ago in Washington. Because of this Harley Schlanger of the LaRouche organization, whom I also knew, earlier this year asked me to arrange a meeting between him and Stone. I agreed to do so. Such a meeting took place in February [2016]. I was not present at the meeting. “It is my impression that as a result of that February meeting the LaRouche organization agreed to use its extensive Russian contacts to open up a back channel for the Trump campaign to communicate directly to Russian intelligence. This ultimately led to Russian intelligence hacking the emails of the Democratic National Committee, which became a major issue in the presidential campaign and continues to do so to this day. Stone may have played a role in Wikileaks being given the hacked emails for distribution to the public. “Harley Schlanger and other LaRouche leaders interviewed Stone on a LaRouche radio program on a number of occasions during the course of the presidential campaign.” With my letter to Director Comey I attached a number of emails that I had received from Schlanger and Stone on this matter. Relevant quotations from some of these follow later in this memo. In addition I sent copies of my letter to Director Comey to President Obama and CIA Director Peter Goss as a safeguard that it would not be deep-sixth. After President Trump fired Director Comey in May 2017, which led to the appointment of Special Counsel Mueller, I wrote Mr. Mueller on June 27, 2017 in part as follows: “On December 10, 2016, I sent the enclosed letter with its email attachments to FBI Director James Comey about the above referenced matter. I never heard back from him and hence I am writing you. My motivation in doing so is because I fear that our democracy was severely endangered by Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election. Alarmingly, this Russian threat is unabated. The continued existence of the United States as a free nation is at stake. “Here is a brief summary of my letter to Director Comey: In January 2016 Harley Schlanger of the LaRouche organization contacted me to request that I set up a meeting for him with Roger Stone of the Trump Campaign. Their meeting was held in Austin, Texas, in February 2016. I was unable to attend but my impression is that as a result of that meeting the LaRouche organization agreed to use its extensive Russian contacts to open up a back channel for the Trump campaign to communicate directly with Russian intelligence. “Since writing my December 10 letter to Director Comey I have uncovered the following information that may corroborate the contents of that letter: “A month before Schlanger contacted me to set up the meeting with Stone, a LaRouche delegation sympathetic to Russia attended the RT anniversary dinner in Moscow in December 2015 where Premier Putin was seated next to General Flynn. For confirmation see the bottom of page 15 and top of page 16 of the famous Christopher Steele British Dossier. Schlanger may have been among those who attended. There are essentially five persons who lead the LaRouche organization today: Lyndon LaRouche (age 94), his wife, Helga, Jeffrey Steinberg, Harley Schlanger and Anton Chaitkin. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.html “Jeffrey Steinberg participated in an annual Economic Conference in Moscow in March 2016. https://larouchepac.com/20160328/eir-participates-moscow-economic-forum “In November 2016, Roger Stone interviewed Lyndon LaRouche on his radio program. https://larouchepac.com/20161121/lyndon-larouche-radio-interview-roger-stone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBx6uHA05gg “I am writing you because you possess the investigative power and authority to determine if any of the information provided in this letter and my prior letter to Director Comey merits further investigation. It may or may not. As a private citizen I am in no position to make that determination. However, I believe it is my solemn duty both as a private citizen and an attorney who is a member of the District of Columbia and Texas Bars to call this matter to your attention.” When I sent my letter to Mr. Mueller, I also sent copies of it to Senator Mark Warner of the Senate Intelligence Committee and Congressman Adam Schiff of the House Intelligence Committee. ABOUT LAROUCHE Here is the link to obtain update viewpoints from the LaRouche organization: https://larouchepac.com/updates Three of the brightest and most knowledgeable persons I have ever met are Jeffrey Steinberg, Harley Schanger and Anton Chaikin. However, it is well known that Lyndon LaRouche is the ultimate decider on all policy matters and his word overrides those in the organization whose views may differ. The Houston Chronicle of November 7, 1982, published an article titled, “The man who ‘perfected’ Marx: LaRouche collects money, works at making folks over ‘in my own image.’” The article states that, “former members say LaRouche is omnipotent within the organization.” It further declares that, “According to his 1979 autobiography, The Power of Reason, LaRouche was born into a Quaker family in New Hampshire in 1922 and had only two friends until late in high school. He says the reason for his lack of friends was that his mental capabilities exceeded those of his peers….As a young man, he joined a socialist group where he ‘perfected’ the theories of Marx.’” I find myself in agreement with some of the policies espoused by the LaRouche organization, such as constructing a modern, transnational “silk road” and reform of the U.S. financial system, including Glass-Steagall reinstatement and creation of a national credit institution for infrastructure and manufacturing. Where I vehemently differ with the group is its alleged role in assisting Russia in influencing the 2016 presidential election. This issue is paramount above all others. ABOUT ROGER STONE I first met Roger Stone in 1975 soon after the National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC) was created. Its chairman was Terry Dolan, a really nice guy who questioned the moral leadership of the conservative movement at the time. He was upset that republican Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina was driving around Washington, D.C. in a convertible with a young blond woman at his side. Charles Black, a key leader in NCPAC, was from North Caroline and was a protégé of Senator Helms, a racist demagogue if there ever was one. Stone was another leader. Paul Manafort was on the scene but not prominent in the organization. I was the organization’s legal counsel. A short story will suffice in my finding out that Stone was a classic sociopath. On one occasion in 1975 Dolan, Stone and I had lunch together in the greater Washington area and had left the restaurant and were walking down the street. We noticed that on the opposite side of the street an elderly woman who suffered from severe curvature of the spine was walking with what appeared to be her two children, a man and a woman in their thirties. The poor woman’s agonizing bent over posture was such that her face was almost parallel with the sidewalk. When Stone saw her he immediately let out a yell of delight and began to walk and prance in the same way as the poor woman was doing. He did so while gesturing towards the trio on the other side of the street so as to attract their attention. I was so embarrassed and shocked at Stone’s gross behavior that I ran into a public garage in an attempt to distant myself from him. About twenty years ago I received a phone call from Fox commentator James Rosen (if my memory is correct) and who asked me what I thought of Stone. I told him about the above disturbing incident. Charles Black, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone went on to form the political lobbying firm of Black, Manafort and Stone and what they all had in common was being sociopaths. Their quest was for power, access and money and the thought of what was best for our country never entered the picture. In a sense I bear some responsibility for their rise to prominence. While an undergraduate at Georgetown University in 1958 I co-founded with a college friend, David Franke, the National Student Committee for the Loyalty Oath. We did this because there was no conservative movement in existence at the time and we thought we could start such a movement using college students. Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire brought us national exposure by endorsing our organization in a speech on the floor of the Senate. The following year, 1959, Franke and I founded Youth for Goldwater for Vice President, which was another major step toward building a conservative movement. Here is an account of what happened next from the book by Professor John A. Andrew III, The Other Side of the Sixties: Young Americans for Freedom and the Rise of Conservative Politics, (New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press, 1997), pp. 217-218: “William F. Buckley and Marvin Liebman met Douglas Caddy and David Franke, both of whom attended as representatives of Youth for Goldwater for Vice President. Together, these four men would turn their disappointment in Goldwater’s loss [at the 1960 GOP convention in Chicago that nominated Nixon] into a national conservative youth movement. Impressed by the passion of Caddy and Franke and their attempts to organize conservative youth in the past, including the creation of the Student Committee for the Loyalty Oath in 1958, Buckley and Liebman decided to mentor them. The loss of Goldwater for the Vice Presidential nomination convinced Buckley that young conservatives in the GOP needed to be fostered from the top down. He believed that young conservatives, with his guidance, could change the American political discourse. Consequently, Buckley hired Franke to intern at the National Review and Caddy worked for Liebman in public relations. Their first major task was to organize a national youth group for conservatives funded by Buckley. In September of 1960, on the Buckley family estate in Sharon, Connecticut, over 100 students from 44 different colleges and universities across the country assembled to devise a plan to capitalize on the growing conservatism of American youth and turn it into an organized political movement. The result created the Young Americans for Freedom, officially chartered on September 11, 1960, and the adoption of the Sharon Statement at the conference. In the Sharon statement, YAF articulated its critique of American society and proclaimed, ‘In this time of moral and political crisis, it is the responsibility of the youth of America to affirm certain eternal truths.’” https://www.slideshare.net/ClaireViall/rebels-with-a-causethe-growth-and-appeal-of-the-young-americans-for-freedom-in-the-1960s The founding of YAF in 1960 led to the birth of the modern conservative movement which occurred in the wake of a fantastically successful rally of conservatives at Manhattan Center in New York City in March 1961. So Black and Manafort and Stone, sad to say, are ethically challenged by-products of the modern conservative movement which decades ago was taken over by opportunists and sociopaths. Stone was active in successfully rigging three presidential elections: In Florida in 2000 for G. W. Bush, in Ohio in 2004 for G. W. Bush and in 2016 for Trump. He has utter contempt for honest elections. Rigging is what he does. Prior to the creation of NCPAC in 1975, Stone was active in the Nixon 1972 presidential campaign. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/nbc-news-exclusive-memo-shows-watergate-prosecutors-had-evidence-nixon-n773581 I was the Original Attorney for the Watergate Seven but did not meet Stone until three years after the Watergate case broke. http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/21500-memoir-on-being-original-attorney-for-the-watergate-seven-by-douglas-caddy/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jKBlJQNtek Liberals rejoiced with Nixon being forced to resign the presidency but the immediate result was the rise of the radical right with Black, Manafort and Stone being formed as a lobbying/PR firm and the extreme right-wing oligarch Joseph Coors founding the Heritage Foundation, headed by Edwin Feulner, and the Committee for a Free Congress, headed by Paul Weyrich I left Washington, D.C. in 1979 and moved to Texas once I recognized the bizarre and dangerous direction that the conservative movement was coming to embrace. Thus, it came as a surprise three decades later when in 2012 I was contacted by Roger Stone who requested that I supply him with any material in my possession on President Lyndon Johnson. This came about because I had been the attorney for Billie Sol Estes, LBJ’s silent business and political partner, in Billie Sol’s quest in 1984 to obtain a grant of immunity from prosecution from the U.S. Department of Justice in order that he could tell what he knew about LBJ crimes that took place before and during his presidency. Stone’s praise-worthy best-selling book, The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ, was published in 2013. https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Killed-Kennedy-Against/dp/1629144894/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503279918&sr=8-1&keywords=the+man+who+killed+kennedy Stone’s book credits me as a primary source of information. For example, on page 214, he writes, “I did have access and the full cooperation of Billie Sol Estes’ personal attorney Douglas Caddy who supplied interviews, source materials and remembrances for this book.” http://home.earthlink.net/~sixthfloor/estes.htm It was because of my contribution of information in 2012 to Stone’s JFK book that when Schlanger asked me in January 2016 to arrange for him to meet Stone I was able to do so. SELECTED RELEVANT EMAILS I provided FBI Director Comey and Special Counsel Mueller with a large number of emails that accompanied my letters to them. Here are excerpts from a few of these: In an email of Feb. 20, 2016, Stone wrote me: “Thanks for connecting me with Harley Schlanger – he is a great guy and shares our goals. I think we hit it off. I have a back channel to Trump and we are fighting the globalists.” In email of May 5, 2016, Schlanger wrote me: “I have continued to work with Roger. He and I have done three radio interviews together, and I have set up several more for him, with my contacts. Obviously, he has played quite a brilliant role in the Trump campaign, outflanking completely the lead-footed GOP establishment. While I find some of what Trump says to be good, I’m still and not sure what a Trump presidency would mean.” In an email of July 25, 2016, to Schlanger, I wrote after the GOP presidential convention: “Well, you picked an exciting time in Germany to find a new home there. On the other hand, the U.S. as you can see from afar, is an exciting place, too, these days as both major parties are melting down. Neither candidate is worth a damn. “After watching Trump's acceptance speech, I realized what a dangerous and hypocritical man he is. He plans to turn domestic and foreign policy over to his VP Pence and spend his time making ‘America Great Again,’ which means acting out his narcissism on steroids. I have lost all respect for Roger Stone and realize my belief that he had changed from his sociopathic past was misplaced. “Roger and his business partner Paul Manafort will undergo minute media and governmental scrutiny in the coming weeks for their past political and business dealings. Manafort is increasingly linked to being a back door to Putin for the Trump campaign. The whole scandal will get radioactive if the Intelligence agencies produce evidence of a tie there.” FINAL THOUGHTS I have no regrets in writing Comey and Mueller even though I have been regularly harassed for so doing by private detectives employed by an unknown person of interest: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/24039-message-to-the-private-detectives-harassing-me/ I had a duty to do so because the on-going investigation is into felonious criminal activity. Here is the definition of Misprision of a Felony, which is applicable in my situation and governs my actions: 18 U.S. Code § 4 - Misprision of felony § 4. Misprision of felony Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 684; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(G), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.) I do not know whether my two letters will lead or have already led to an investigation by Special Counsel Mueller. Only time will tell. However, this entire venture will merit an interesting chapter in my forthcoming autobiography: https://www.amazon.com/Being-There-Eye-Witness-History/dp/1634241142/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1503340695&sr=1-1&keywords=Douglas+Caddy [End]
  23. I knew Arthur when we worked together on NIPAC -- the National Conservative Political Action Committee -- in 1974-75. I was the group's legal counsel.
