Another one to add from the HSCA period is Kevin Walsh. I think he works with Jim Lesar these days in DC.

Great! I think that sounds like a very good proposal. Would be interested to hear from the ex-HSCA people and hear their stories too like Gaeton Fonzi has done in The Last Investigation.

We can also add Gary Cornwell to the list too. I also wonder what they say about David Atlee Phillips aka Maurice Bishop "Phillips lied between his teeth and pulled a terrific con job on the Committee". Let's get cracking and contact them ASAP.

I think it would be good and important for us to contact the surviving HSCA congressmen and get their support for a Grand Jury and also on the release of the Joannides files. We can tell them that Blakey now says he was duped by the Agency regarding Joannides and also ask them to share their memories of the HSCA and what they think of the case now. One question to ask them would be "If you had to do the HSCA all over again in this day and age, what would that be?" Obviously, they could tell us that it would be getting more time and money. We can also get other HSCA people like Bob Tannenbaum, Cliff Fenton, Eddie Lopez, Gaeton Fonzi, and Danny Hardway on our side too. Wonder what Rev. Edgar has to say about the case now and if he has any regrets? Comments?

Of course, I have not seen any actual files but Griffin said some years ago that back in 1964, criticizing the Bureau and Hoover was something one did not do. Bear in mind that the WC staff lawyers were all young guys fresh out of law school and they figured tat this WC "glamour job" would look good on their resumes. Furthermore, they had no investigative experience at all and as junior members of the American Establishment, did not wish to rock the boat with Uncle Sam.

In my opinion, the worst WC lawyer had to be David Belin and we all know about his tactics and shenanigans while conducting the WC's "investigation". Even some of his fellow WC staff lawyers such as Burt Griffin called them "shameful". As for Hoover, it did not matter who was good or bad, liberal or conservative. He had files on EVERYONE, period. Just my two cents.

Hoover had the dirt on everyone, including the lowliest WC staff lawyer. He's everywhere!!

I take it many people have heard of the fact that Hoover kept files on the Warren Commission staff members and lawyers so he knew a lot more on them than they would have cared to know! The files for David Belin and even Gerald Ford and others would be interesting to see if they have been involved in any political activity or even arrests for drunken driving or soliciting a prostitute, among others. Comments?

How could Schiller be involved in the writing of the WR given his reputation as a scavenger-parasite- chronic FBI informer?

Did Schiller turn in any of his files to the ARRB in the 1990s? I think it also would be tough trying to obtain them from him.

Well said, Jack. Just a good old-fashioned scavenger and opportunist. What did Schiller know about the assasination and why would he want to engage in such questionable practices such as informing the FBI and lying to people and ripping them off?

Anything else to add about Schiller? He sounds like a scavenger and a good old-fashioned opportunist.

One person who is rarely mentioned in the history of the case is Lawrence Schiller. We know he works with Norman Mailer and has been mentioned in files as a chronic FBI informer. What is the full story about this man in the history of this case? Why would Schiller tell on the FBI a lot?

We can also question any surviving witnesses in DP and ask what they heard and saw and also subpoena media people such as Dan Rather. Also, we can question LN writers such as Posner, Bugliosi, and a few others and ask them on what they knew on the events in DP and why they think so. Any other suggestions to add?

We hope that O'Reilly will join us and even get media establishment types to call for the release of the Joannides CIA files, that is if they are interested. Even the normally recalcitrant Posner and Blakey are calling for their release.

Outstanding!!!

I wonder what Dave Perry thinks of the case and David's book now... Has he changed in any way? Doe he really want to find and know the truth, no matter where it would lead to? Wherever they are, I hope Robert Johnson and Daryll Howard would have something to say now and are more than welcome to come to the forum.

I am sure some of you old-timers may remember the old JFK Assasination Information Center in Dallas and the late Larry Howard. Any memories of them to share? What would Larry think of the case today and today's researchers and also the ARRB revelations and books by David and Larry? Wasn't there another guy working with him named Robert Johnson?

Isn't it ironic that now Blakey admits that he was duped by the Agency regarding Joannides and also calls for the release of the Joannides material along with Jeff Morley and others? Funny how time changes things.

If Vaughan and his LN cohorts are reading this forum, I have a question for them: What do you make of the flaws and failures of the Secret Service in Dallas and their covering up after the shooting and also them drinking WHILE ON OFFICIAL DUTY at the Fort Worth Cellar the night before? It may be coincidence to you but it is certainly not USSS standard operating procedure to me.

Well, gentlemen. It sounds like Todd, Reitzes, Dave Perry, and Co. have been duped by Bugliosi (with the exception of Von Pain) and are coming back into the fold. We hope to hear their comments on the books by David and Larry and on Pat Speer's work and also call on them to support Jeff Morley in the cause to unseal the Joannides files from the CIA.

I hope Vaughan and Gary Mack and their cohorts will read Larry's book and David's and we will see if they admit they were duped by the LNers and admit they knew it was a conspiracy all along.

For Vaughan and the other ex CTers turned LNers like Gary Mack, Dave Perry, and others, how can you explain the following: the jacket holes being inches apart, thus discrediting the SBT the infamous Katzenbach memo and the order to "frame Oswald" the involvement of DRE and Alpha 66 and other Miami Cuban groups Operation Northwoods-would it be fair to say that the assasination was an act of domestic terrorism rather than an accidental act in history? The incompetence and unwillingness of the major media to investigate further and their ongoing coverup. Questions or comments? Gentlemen, start your engines!

Has Vaughan ever debated or commenteed on the involvement of the Miami Cubans and also DRE and Alpha 66 or even on the Vietnam angle? Or does he pooh-poohs them saying they are merely coincidences and have nothing to do with the lone nut story? Todd, buddy. If you are out there, give us a shout and you are welcome to state your views on this forum and we will promise you an education you will never forget!

It does make sense about the Attwood-Howard-Lechuga backchannel intiative being the spark lighting the fuse for the assasination and that's one thing you never see or hear the Lone Nutters mention. Also, it also explains why the Miami Cubans became Republicans and now have the Bush crime family in their pockets.
