MARY SHERMAN: For those of you that read my prior post, you know that I had filed a FOIA request with the FBI to get their Mary Sherman file. They responded that they sent the file to the National Archieves & Records Administration and they even gave me the file number. So I had to FOIA the (NARA). They very promptly sent me the file under the number that the FBI gave me. It had the information that I wanted, which was the unredacted named that Ed Haslam was unable to get in his prior FOIA request to the FBI. See pages 350-351 in his book, Dr. Mary's Monkey. To my surprise today, I received a letter from the (NARA) telling me that they had 8, yes 8 additional FBI files on the Murder of Dr. Mary Sherman and advised me that if I wanted those records, I would have to submit another FOIA request. Guess what I will be doing this weekend. Will keep you posted. Thanks NARA for being so truthful and straight forward with me.

Tommy Reynolds posted the following on Facebook today: Victor Marchetti- article in The Spotlight 1978: Here is Victor Marchetti’s story: The Spotlight — August 14, 1978 A few months ago, in March, there was a meeting at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., the plush home of America’s super spooks overlooking the Potomac River. It was attended by several high-level clandestine officers and some former top officials of the agency. The topic of discussion was: What to do about recent revelations associating President Kennedy’s accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, with the spy game played between the U.S. and the USSR? (Spotlight, May 8, 1978.) A decision was made, and a course of action determined. They were calculated to both fascinate and confuse the public by staging a clever “limited hangout” when the House Special Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) holds its open hearings, beginning later this month. A “limited hangout” is spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting – sometimes even volunteering some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further. We will probably never find out who masterminded the assassination of JFK – or why. There are too many powerful special interests connected with the conspiracy for the truth to come out even now, 15 years after the murder. But during the next two months, according to sensitive sources in the CIA and on HSCA, we are going to learn much more about the crime. The new disclosures will be sensational, but only superficially so. A few of the lesser villains involved in the conspiracy and its subsequent coverup will be identified for the first time – and allowed to twist slowly in the wind on live network TV. Most of the others to be fingered are already dead. But once again the good folks of middle America will be hoodwinked by the government and its allies in the establishment news media. In fact, we are being set up to witness yet another coverup, albeit a sophisticated one, designed by the CIA with the assistance of the FBI and the blessing of the Carter administration. A classic example of a limited hangout is how the CIA has handled and manipulated the Church Committee’s investigation of two years ago. The committee learned nothing more about the assassinations of foreign leaders, illicit drug programs, or the penetration of the news media than the CIA allowed it to discover. And this is precisely what the CIA is out to accomplish through HSCA with regard to JFK’s murder. Chief among those to be exposed by the new investigation will be E. Howard Hunt, of Watergate fame. His luck has run out, and the CIA has decided to sacrifice him to: protect its clandestine services. The agency is furious with Hunt for having dragged it publicly into the Nixon mess and for having blackmailed it after he was arrested. Besides, Hunt is vulnerable — an easy target as they say in the spy business. His reputation and integrity have been destroyed. The death of his wife, Dorothy, in a mysterious plane crash in Chicago still disturbs many people, especially since there were rumors from informed sources that she was about to leave him and perhaps even turn on him. In addition it is well known that Hunt hated JFK and blamed him for the Bay of Pigs disaster. And now, in recent months, his alibi for his whereabouts on the day of the shooting has come unstuck. In the public hearings, the CIA will “admit” that Hunt was involved in the conspiracy to kill Kennedy. The CIA may go so far as to “admit” that there were three gunmen shooting at Kennedy. The FBI, while publicly embracing the Warren Commission’s “one man acting alone” conclusion, has always privately known that there were three gunmen. The conspiracy involved many more people than the ones who actually fired at Kennedy, both agencies may now admit. A.J. Weberman and Michael Canfield, authors of Coup d’Etat in America, published pictures of three apparent bums who were arrested at Dealy Plaza just after President Kennedy’s murder, but who were strangely released without any record of the arrest having been made by the Dallas police. One of the tramps the authors identified as Hunt. Another was Frank Sturgis, a long time agent of Hunt’s. Hunt immediately sued for millions of dollars in damages, claiming he could prove that he had been in Washington D.C. that day-on duty at CIA. It turned out, however, that this was not true. So, he said that he had been on leave and doing household errands, including a shopping trip to a grocery store in Chinatown. Weberman and Canfield investigated the new alibi and found that the grocery store where Hunt claimed to be shopping never existed. At this point, Hunt offered to drop his suit for a token payment of one dollar. But the authors were determined to vindicate themselves, and they continued to attack Hunt’s alibi, ultimately completely shattering it. Now, the CIA moved to finger Hunt and tie him to the JFK assassination. HSCA unexpectedly received an internal CIA memorandum a few weeks ago that the agency just happened to stumble across in its old files. It was dated 1966 and said in essence: Some day we will have to explain Hunt’s presence in Dallas on November 22, 1963 — the day President Kennedy was killed. Hunt is going to be hard put to explain this memo, and other things, before the TV cameras at the HSCA hearings. Hunt’s reputation as a strident fanatical anti-communist will count against him. So will his long and close relationship with the anti-Castro Cubans, as well as his penchant for clandestine dirty tricks and his various capers while one of Nixon’s plumbers. E. Howard Hunt will be implicated in the conspiracy and he will not dare to speak out — the CIA will see to that. In addition to Hunt and Sturgis, another former CIA agent marked for exposure is Gerry Patrick Hemming, a hulk of a man-six feet eight inches tall and weighing 260 pounds. Like Sturgis, Hemming once worked for Castro as a CIA double agent, then later surfaced with the anti-Castro Cubans in various attempts to rid Cuba of the communist dictator. But there are two things in Hemming’s past that the CIA, manipulation HSCA, will be able to use to tie him to the JFK assassination. First, Castro’s former mistress, Marita Lorenz (now an anti-Castroite herself), has identified Hemming, along with Oswald and others as being part of the secret squad assigned to kill President Kennedy. And secondly, Hemming was Oswald’s Marine sergeant when he was stationed at CIA’s U-2 base in Atsugi, Japan-where Oswald supposedly was recruited as a spy by the Soviets, or was being trained to be a double agent by the CIA. In any event, Hemming’s Cuban career and his connection with Oswald make the Lorenz story difficult for him to deny, particularly since the squad allegedly also included Hunt and Sturgis. Who else will be identified as having been part of the conspiracy and/or coverup remains to be seen. But a disturbing pattern is already beginning to emerge. All the villains have been previously disgraced in one way or another. They all have “right wing” reputations. Or they will have after the hearings. The fact that some may have had connections with organized crime will prove to be only incidental in the long run. Those with provable ties to the CIA or FBI will be presented as renegades who acted on their own without approval or knowledge of their superiors. As for covering up the deed, that will be blamed on past Presidents, either dead or disgraced. Thus, Carter will emerge as a truth seeker, and the CIA and FBI will have neatly covered their institutional behinds. The timing of the hearings is another clue of what to expect and why. The committee has scheduled its open sessions of network TV to begin after Congress adjourns for the election campaigns. The first order of business will be the Martin Luther King, Jr. hearings-with James Earl Ray and his family as the star witnesses. Then there will be a short break and the JFK hearings will begin. The committee plans to conclude its work by early October, just a month before the elections, perfect timing to cash in on the publicity the hearings are certain to create. And perfect timing for the Carterites to get the American public to forget about inflation, taxes, foreign affairs, and other White House blunders and elect a Congress more indebted and responsive to the presidency.

Viewer’s comment by LionBronstein on YouTube: Brilliant! Important recollections from a man who was quite obviously in the middle of US/Cuban "relations" in the early 1960s. Martinez is also a link between covert CIA executive actions in 1963 and 1972. Watergate and JFK assassination are related. By fingering Lawrence Howard, the contract killer, as the person who appeared at the Cuban and Russian Embasies in September 1963 [he mentions Sylvia Duran], Martinez drops a bombshell. Not Oswald, not some fat, bald-headed Polish sailor. This is new information, very probably correct that has not been released before. Martinez also names names, in order of command, of those actors against Castro's life who were "turned around" to take out Kennedy: Rolando Cubela [AMLASH], William Harvey, Theodore Shackley, Desmond Fitzgerald, [and Helms, although he's not mentioned. This is heady stuff. I hope you have more footage of this very important interview. It is evidence; to what is now, History.

From the document: “Under no circumstances would the Agency give up all records relating to the Agency’s relationship with Martinez,” the CIA lawyer told WSPF, for to do so would represent “the breaking of trust of an agent.” This means the CIA, at the time of the Watergate break-in, had “an agent” planted on the break-in team. (The FBI determined that when arrested, Martinez possessed a key to the desk of Maxie Wells, the secretary to Democratic Party official R. Spencer Oliver whose telephone was wiretapped in the Watergate break-in operation.) While Martinez’s dual role has been discussed in other Watergate histories, the declaration by CIA lawyers of Martinez’s status as “an agent” appears to add new information to the Watergate saga. http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-uncovers-cia-inspector-generals-watergate-history-report/

“Who killed John F. Kennedy” a debate with Roger Stone vs. Gerald Posner November 22, 2016 Coral Gables, Florida http://www.booksandbooks.com/event/%E2%80%9Cwho-killed-john-f-kennedy%E2%80%9D-debate-roger-stone-vs-gerald-posner-gables

"The murderers of John F. Kennedy killed more than a President. They killed something deep in the very soul of this country...the innocent, untarnished belief...naive perhaps, but gloriously, constantly self-fulfilling...that we are the free-willed possessors of our own destiny. The assassination of President Kennedy, produced cracks of historic implications in that bedrock of democracy." - Gaeton Fonzi, Dealey Plaza Candlelight Ceremony, November 22, 1993

David Starks posted this comment today on Facebook in a topic started by David Talbot; I video taped all the great conferences of the 90s and after the Stone film the best and brightest critics and authors and researchers got together. Many of them are now dead, and rarely is there a conference with anywhere near the star power of the ones in Chicago in 92-93 or the ones I taped in DC in 94-95-96-97. Only Jim Lesar and Cyril Wecht have had recent conferences that I would have enjoyed, but alas, I can no longer justify the expense of travel, admission and hotel now that I no longer am a video producer and also because interest in the case has plummeted after the 50th aniv has passed. This is no longer current events, but the case has fallen into the dust bin of history, and the true perpetrators were never caught and most would be long dead. Okay, there is the Joanides files to hopefully see in our lifetime (if they have not been altered, stolen or destroyed by now) but do you think CIA will release that stuff in 2017, when one of these frightening endless war robber barons is president?

In one of the recent threads a member asked me where he could find emails posted by Podesta. I tried to find that thread to reply but for lack of time failed to do so. I posted this summary here. I have no objection if the moderators wish to delete my post here in its entirety.

The headline of the article I read stated there were 10 categories. The article itself has 7 categories but at its bottom there are 11 parts.

10 Great Televised Debates In American Political History http://listverse.com/2015/10/23/10-great-televised-debates-in-american-political-history/

Roy Cohn plays an important role in Congressman Gallagher's story as you will see. Although this is about what happened in the 1960s and 1970s, it is relevant today because Donald Trump and Roger Stone were protégés of Cohn for many years. They were students of his fascist way of conducting government, which is on display in the current presidential campaign. If Trump were elected president, he and Stone will implement the worst of Cohn. I shudder to think of what would then happen to America and to the world.

This is one of the most important interviews I have ever viewed. Congressman Neil Gallagher was a friend of JFK and a key figure in Congress for many years. His first hand recounting of what he knew about the JFK assassination is a revelation. But the interview goes beyond that and one revelation after another about related topics comes forth, right up to the last minute of the interview. This is one that you will remember for a long time. What a great man! A Profile In Courage, Congressman Neil Gallagher http://archive.larouchepac.com/node/28114
