Some unquestionably did, Mark, though not from the Left (as far as I have been able to establish); and those whose criticisms and scepticism did make into print were pretty much ignored by the first generation of researchers: William Loeb, editorial, “Investigate the Secret Service,” The Manchester Union-Leader, Tuesday, 26 November 1963, pp.1 & 17 Richard Starnes, "Kennedy: Whose Fault?" The New York World-Telegram & Sun, 19 December 1963, p.13 There was considerable "surprise" registered in the UK press at the "performance" of Kennedy's SS unit. Two examples follow: John Owen, “Overhaul of Security by Britain,” Daily Telegraph, Saturday, 23 November 1963, p.7 Sunday Citizen Correspondents, “Security Storm: Why Did It Happen?” Sunday Citizen & Reynolds News, Sunday, 24 November 1963, pp.1&32

United Nations Oral History Interview with:Edmund Gullion Conducted May 8, 1990, in 4 parts (United States of America, 1913 – 1998) Diplomat A career ambassador, Edmund Gullion had been appointed United States Ambassador to the newly recognized Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1961 and had left that post in 1964. He then became dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Retired at the time of the interview conducted on 8 May 1990, Mr. Gullion shares his personal experiences as Ambassador to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the political climate during that dramatic period in United Nations history.

Please note that advance orders for my “instant” book on the case, Disappearing Nate: The Abduction, Torture, and Certain Execution of an American Dissident, will be honoured, albeit after a brief delay while I rewrite bits of it entirely, and count the Langley wedge. It will now appear under the slightly tweaked title of Reappearing Nate: Conspiraloon Hysteria in the Age of the Internet. There are some additional small changes. The publisher will not now be The Ainsdale Self-publishing Society (print-run: 10) but rather Random Souse (initial print-run: 200,000). Noam Chomsky has agreed to write a forward – provisionally entitled Cargo Cultists in the Age of Stone – prefaced by approving comments from a diverse range of Guardian columnists, ranging from legendary parliamentary sketch-writer Simon Legge-Over, to Jon Goat-Ronson and Marina Hyde-White. Timothy Garter-Sash has already completed the afterword, The Triumph of the Chatham House Hyphenates, which will appear in green ink. To my further astonishment, discussions about serialisation rights are apparently well advanced, with the Huffington Post, Fanity Vair, and The Sun on Sunday, pulling clear of the chasing pack; while Amy Goodman wants me on Democracy Tomorrow; and the BBC’s world-renowned bastion of uncompromising investigative journalism, Propagandarama, has scheduled an extended interview for inclusion in its latest in-depth exploration of a Kennedy assassination, The Mary Jo Files: Was Teddy a Serial Killer? No changes are proposed, you will be relieved to learn, to the unpaginated photographic section at the original book’s heart. This remarkable portfolio, depicting the world’s elite snatch squads and their most feared members, remains entirely as originally supplied in a plain brown envelope by Mr Robert Morrow and the Siliconika Photographic Agency of Bangkok.

A wind may yet blow through America, Daniel, don't despair

To commemorate its fiftieth anniversary, the Columbia Journalism Review exhumed from its archives Maurice W. Schonfeld’s The Shadow of a Gunman: An account of a twelve-year investigation of a Kennedy assassination film The author, managing editor of UPI Newsfilm, the film service of United Press International, at the time President Kennedy was killed, had added a second Epilogue, dated 22 November 2011, to a piece originally published in the Review’s combined July-August 1975 issue. The update’s penultimate paragraph, containing a fascinating tit-bit which I’ve highlighted, ran as follows: This was compelling and, seemingly, due to the source, definitive: The original Muchmore had ceased to exist as a film no later than late-December 1963, and for many years after that, with the publication of the joint UPI-American Heritage Magazine commemorative work, Four Days: The Historical Record of the Death of President Kennedy, a work, it should be noted, of quite astonishing tedium. It was also quite surprising, as according to the FBI in February 1964, based on conversations the previous day with senior people in UPI rather well-placed to know, the original was still intact, and residing happily in a New York bank vault, a full two months after being cut up. Sometimes I really don’t know which is the more remarkable – those slippery media types, or the strange assassination films which passed through their hands.

Outstanding; and of considerable relevance to the Dallas coup.

An interesting hypothesis from David Lifton. Three questions in response: 1) To which location where others suspected of involvement taken that day? Where, for example, was Molina taken? 2) Why, if Lovelady was detained for the reasons outlined in David's speculation, is there no mention of this perfectly harmless episode within either his own statements, or those of the FBI etc? 3) Why, if Lovelady was as described, the consistent and determined efforts of the DPD to prevent any of the early critics from interviewing and photographing him?

Or fabricating: These messages were not played nor even were they claimed to exist during the recent 7/7 Inquests. We need to know: Did the Times hack the phone messages of the 4 accused of 7/7? Who was the ‘police source’ who gave this information to the Times? Why did the 7/7 Inquests not have an opportunity to hear these messages? Why did the 7/7 Inquests not refer to these messages?

Well said, John. In fact, if one recalls the campaign against Harold Wilson, and compares it to that waged against Gordon Brown, we appear to be looking at a more or less identical operation - only we must substitute News International for BOSS and Gordon Winter. In both instances, MI5 (and GCHQ) melted into the background, permitting the bugging, burgling and blagging to run unchecked, presumably as intended. How MI5 and GCHQ have evaded scrutiny in the face of hacking on this (industrial) scale beggars belief. But the former is doubtless too busy celebrating the wholesale discrediting of the Met's counter-terrorism directorate to spare much time for a public accounting.

Brehm's initial description, as it appeared in the first post-assassination edition of the Dallas Times Herald: “President Dead, Connally Shot,” The Dallas Times Herald, 22 November 1963, p.2 [cited by Joachim Joesten. Oswald: Assassin or Fall Guy? (London: Merlin Press, 1964), p.176.]

And you don't cherry-pick, Pat? Remarkable: You must be the only one of us without sin. Quite the reverse is true: The Warren Commission ignored those witnesses who should be in the Z-fake, but aren't. The one fake, the inquiry, reinforced the other, the film, as witnesses who were called were badgered into resiling from their initial claim that the presidential limo came to a complete halt.

I don't count the Lockerbie bombing for the good and proper reason that the trial of Abdelbaset Al Megrahi was a rigged and corrupt farce: Instead of blowing Libyan women and children to smithereens, the US government could be ensuring its own kids have a roof over their heads, and enough food in their bellies to sleep at night. A Commie-type proposal, no doubt: Hard times generation: homeless kids

The far-right extremists of NATO at work:

That's so sensible you'll never get anywhere in US politics, Don.

Explains quite a bit, all things considered, Bill, not least your standards of "proof" and "evidence": Goodness, that's compelling. I wonder what the excuse was when the CIA helped the Guatemalan military and its death squads eradicate several hundred Mayan villages - and many of their occupants - in Guatemala? http://www1.american.edu/ted/ice/peten.htm The human rights of the land owners had been violated, perhaps?

And what about the Belgian nuns, Bill? Really, this is just a compendium of State Department nonsense attempting to justify an oil grab and regime change.

I see the parallel at once - both uprisings were a disaster for black people: Racial exterminism - as American as apple pie:

That's a smokescreen - they're nothing of the sort: They're intellectual secret policeman, working to channel dissent among the thoughtful and the politically active in directions either helpful or unthreatening to the deep state in general, and the CIA in particular. The point is easy to prove. A genuine structuralist would examine the CIA as a power system and institution, precisely as he (or she) would any other: Chomsky runs a mile from doing any such thing, most notably in Rethinking Camelot, which, stripped of its rhetorical veneer of New Leftism - and a very thin layer it is, too, in this instance - is one of the crudest pieces of CIA hack-work yet committed to paper. Much of it is laughably contradictory, as Donald Gibson showed in The Kennedy Assassination Cover-up (NY: Kroshka Books, 2000), most notably in his chapter "Establishment Radicals and Kennedy: Lamont, Chomsky, and Russell" (pp.203-223). What they were really up to is this: What sustains them is a Foundation- and CIA-funded pseudo-Left, an echo chamber (based largely in British and US universities), and a control of the "alternative" media every bit as rigid and suffocating as that which pertains in its nominal opposite, the mainstream. Amy Goodman would no more permit a thorough-going critique of Chomsky's services to Langley - which funded him in his research endeavours - than NBC would give 9/11 dissidence a platform. Calling them "structuralist" is not merely to reproduce their own preening propaganda, but to miss the point entirely.

No wonder Counterpunch never runs out of money... Self-satire: the last refuge of the pseudo-Left

Just how naive so many students were - and, in the current moment in North Africa and elsewhere, remain - is clear: This Big Business dialectic with the New Left is confirmed independently by Gerald Kirk, who as a student at the University of Chicago, and became active in the SDS, the DuBois Club,[31] the Black Panthers, and the Communist Party, as an informant for the FBI. Kirk broke from the Left in 1969.
