  1. Actually, it does sound like something Judyth would do. She is believable but not necessarily coherent and logical, viewed from my perception. I take her as she is. People have multiple motivations for their behavior. She loved Lee Oswald and wants the truth about him known. At the same time she wants to stay alive and be safe. She also has a family she loves and misses. Given those motives, how does one plan to act logically and coherently when judged by others? Let's visualize a scene in court, listening to Judyth Vary Baker giving testimony about events in New Orleans in 1963. As a witness, she tells what she saw and heard with her own eyes and ears. What Lee told her would be hearsay unless it fits within an exception to the hearsay rule. Her presence in New Orleans--and her working at Reilly Coffee Company at the very same time Oswald is documented to have been there--is admissible. Lee's time cards, approved with the initials 'JB,' would be admitted. Many other documents discovered by researchers following details Judyth remembered could also be brought into the record. What could you say in rebuttal that would be admissible? Opinions are not admissible without proving credentials as an expert. Unless you were there, you can offer nothing except documents that contradict her own story. If you have such eye-witness testimony or documentary evidence, bring it forth. Otherwise, your opinions have no value and would not be heard by our court. In a perfect world, Judyth would be allowed to tell what she witnessed, and people would be allowed to listen to the story she tells and judge for themselves. But we don't live in a perfect world. We live in a nation in which some of its leaders and their delegates took it upon themselves to murder a president elected by the will of the people under the Constitution. That act takes away the notion that our government is a Constitutional Republic. That may not bother some people, but it makes me very angry. I want to know how those people in power got away with it. I want to restore the republic. Most of the witnesses were also killed before they could tell what they observed. Judyth is one exception. Whether you believe her story of how she has survived is not really relevant to what she has to say. It's a mere distraction. What I cannot understand is your interest in "debunking" her. Why would you spend your own funds on documents about her asylum? It's true people find her personality abrasive. She does talk endlessly. She is highly emotional about certain subjects. But what exactly is it about her that motivates you to continue being interested? Anyone who feels capable of hearing her story and acting as juror without either your or my influence can watch the interview on you tube now. Conspiracy Cafe 2011-10o-20 - Judyth Vary Baker, author of Lee and Me (Part 2)As a followup to the interview, I would urge people interested in the issue of public health and cancer-causing viruses to read another book called The Virus and the Vaccine: The True Story of a Cancer-Causing Monkey Virus, Contaminated Polio Vaccine, and the Millions of Americans Exposed
  2. Judyth's testimony is credible evidence. Credibility is determined by the person who hears the testimony. Eye-witness testimony has always been admissible in any court of law. Hear her testimony at George Freund's show on ThatChannel.com Then judge for yourself. Hi, Linda: I've seen your name around the internet, and it appears that you think a lot of Baker, so I'm not sure if anything I say will change that. I've looked at the Baker case for a long time, and I have many Ferrie-related reasons for doubt, and many non-Ferrie reasons for doubt. I don't think Baker's assertions can stand alone, and we certainly can't use Baker to corroborate Baker. Her story, by the way, is not testimony (under oath, cross-examined). I've never seen any credible evidence that she knew Ferrie. And if you had, you wouldn't admit it. As I said, the book has been out a year. That should be plenty of time to prove that something she said in the book is not true. Something besides your word against hers. What on earth is a "Ferrie-related reason"?
  3. Why do you speak when you know nothing about it? I was there, and Kris Millegan has been a friend for years. TrineDay had moral support from some people in Toronto, like Conspiracy Culture bookstore and from Jesse Ventura, who would have driven up (refuses to fly while he's suing TSA), but had to be unexpectedly in southern New Mexico. So Kris did all the work and TrineDay paid for it. I'll vouch for Judyth's credibility up against the "experts" like you any day. Well, good for you. You've spent a week [in the same room?] with Judyth. You know, that's admirable. I don't think I'd endure five minutes with her. I was invited, to put it mildly, a couple of years ago, but I turned her down. However, spending time with Judyth does not cut it, not one little bit. I'm no "JFK expert researcher". But I did find the relevant documentation to show that she was not telling the truth about her "political asylum". She had been granted no such thing, which is what she'd told the world for a couple of years. Nowadays she's telling everyone she was in the "asylum process", but she's still very silent indeed about telling anyone why she was rejected - twice. And why she never brought forward the evidence she said that she had. As a lawyer yourself, I suggest you find this documentation to make your own conclusions about those Migration Court decisions. You just might find it an interesting read. [in addition, I find it a bit disturbing that you, as a lawyer yourself, are questioning my credibility, of which you know absolutely nothing. In fact, that's very disturbing.] Does it matter? Well, if that information is added to the mountain of evidence from ten years of research, it certainly fits very well into the larger picture about Judyth Baker's character. She's not the type I would buy a used car from. I did not 'question' your credibility. If I had to choose between what you say and what Judyth says, as a juror not as a lawyer, I choose her story instead of yours. I have read what you have to say. In fact, Judyth told me how you or someone like you tried to track her down to her place of exile. Whether that fits within your definition of legal exile or not is unimportant. I have talked to her family, and they confirm that the threats she endured and "accidents" suffered were real. They were there; you were not. And as for debunked, I have to agree with you. de·bunk/diˈbəNGk/ Verb: Expose the falseness or hollowness of (a myth, idea, or belief). Reduce the inflated reputation of (someone), esp. by ridicule: "comedy takes delight in debunking heroes". Attempts have been made over and over to reduce her reputation, to deflate it by ridicule. But the myth is that she was not where she said she was. The book has been out for a year now. Prove that anything she said in the book is untrue. You can't do that, so you attack her. You were invited to meet her, and you declined. That says a great deal about how much you value finding truth. She was a witness you failed to meet. You made it your job to undermine all she has said and done. Your actions speak for themselves.

  6. Bill, Thanks so much for your response. Being with Judyth in Toronto was an incredible experience for me over almost a week's time. I have NEVER met anyone like her. She tends to talk nonstop, barely pausing for breath. I watched her being interviewed by telephone for one radio show after another, then rush off through horrendous Toronto traffic for television interviews, then to a press conference and a book signing with hardly time for a meal. She is always gracious to her hosts and everyone around her. I was also blessed to meet a grandchild of hers who has inherited the same capacity for memory retention. He can remember the last time he saw his grandmother when he was only a baby about one year old. But the warmth and pride he feels for this woman is real and made my spine tingle. He instantly bonded with her, seeing where he got his photographic memory, ability to speed read, etc. People often find it hard to believe she remembered everything so clearly because they judge her through their own perception. What I also noticed about her is that it is impossible to put words in her mouth or change her story, as some people say she has done. She tells what she remembers. If the person to whom she's telling her story adds something to it, it is possible to trigger from her something in her memory that she had not said before, but that is not a change per se. I have no doubt that she is completely authentic and honest. That is not to say that we always got along perfectly. One drawback to knowing so much for Judyth is that she wants others to see the truth and respond to it the same way she does. For example, I sometimes drink diet cokes. After a long gueling day, we returned to our hotel and found the gift shop open. I told her I knew she wouldn't approve, but I was having a coke and did not want her to say anything to me about it; she could have a chocolate bar and I would reciprocate in not castigating her. So I bought the coke. As we left the gift shop, I noticed she had put the chocolate back and said to her that we still had a deal; she was not allowed to criticize me. Oh no, not Judy! She knew it was bad to put the synthetic sugar into my body, and she proceeded to expound upon all she knew about all the hazards. All through the hallway and up the elevator, down another hallway into our room. In frustration, I finally said, "I don't care if it kills me." That got her attention and closed her mouth. I really do care, I suppose, but I'm not as strong as she is about living up to what I know and believe. I get tired of the struggle and sometimes think the world deserves what it gets. Judyth is very strong in insisting that people acknowledge what she knows is true. But at the same time she is fragile. She cannot understand all the hurtful things people who don't believe her say and do. But her motives are pure. She only knew Lee Oswald from April 26 until November 20, 1963--but she loved him with all her heart. Like her, he too was a genius. They were kindred souls united for a brief time. Bill, if you truly do want to understand her and what she has to contribute to the research community, in addition to completing her book, I would urge you to watch an interview I witnessed in Toronto with George Freund. Originally scheduled for one hour, after George met her, he immediately sensed her story could not be covered in that time and increased it to two hours. This occurred after a hectic day that had begun with four radio interviews before 2 p.m., wrapping a painting in the middle of a local drugstore for mailing to the buyer (she carried it with her across the Atlantic to mail in Canada in order to save postage), then rushing back to the hotel in order to leave and get through rush-hour traffic to the location for the television taping. Yet she happily extended to two hours because the man interviewing her was so receptive to what she wanted to say. That meant being late to a coffee that had been prepared for her by some lovely people (parents of another TrineDay author), and a late night appointment to pick up necessary prescription medication to replace some that had been confiscated from her at Gatwick Airport during a previous trip. It was after one a.m. when she got to bed that night, only to be up early the next more to start another grueling day. George Freund's Conspiracy Cafe interview in two parts is at the following link: http://thatradio.podhoster.com/index.php?sid=1746 Pub Date: Oct 20, 2011 2011-10o-20 - Judyth Vary Baker, Lee Harvey Oswald's lover (part 1 and 2) Tonight in a two hour special broadcast Judyth Vary Baker author of Me and Lee the inside story of the assassination of President Kennedy and Lee Oswald reveals her heart and thoughts in this ever present saga. We explore the plot to kill Castro, the weaponization of cancer into the assassin`s silver bullet, the role of Lee Oswald as an asset of the Office of Naval Intelligence, the big pharma role in keeping us sick, what you can do to stay healthy. This is a roller coaster ride from start to finish. We simulcast with Judyth on Montreal`s CJAD. We compare corporate radio with our brand. We explore the use of the cancer weapon in the modern era and wonder if it was used to silence Canada`s other leadership hopeful Jack Layton. We look at the deaths from Roswell Park in various plane crashes. We name names. In the past it was Frederick Cheney Larue who paid for the Watergate burglars and three Cubans to travel to Dallas in 1963 from the same account. He dies in a Biloxi, Mississippi hotel room while `thegeorge`revealed the deep secret on four radio programs. We reveal who the hush money was paid to and who arranged it. The role of World Commerce Corporation and the intelligence chiefs when JFK shut them down. Hold on to your hats. Fasten your seatbelts. You`re going to ride through the kill zone in Dealey Plaza only this time I`m driving. Conspiracy Cafe is the greatest show on Earth.
  7. WIM, Is this part of JEB's story accurate? Does she say she met LHO in a La. Post Office while using the alias Alexander Rorke? Thanks, Bill Kelly I thought I'd bring this thread back to life in light of how Judyth claims to have met LHO at a post office while retreiving mail under the code name "Alex Rorke." http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/ferrell.pdf Alexander Rorke and some Cubans claimed to have bombed an oil refinery in Cuba in the spring of 1963, and bragged about it, making them targets of the JFK administration's efforts to clamp down on terrorist raids against Cuba from USA. At least stoping non-sponsored raids. When the government threatened to confiscate his plane, Rorke said he took a boat with another Cuban out to sea and met a PBY flying boat that flew in from Venezuela, left their skift in the water while they went to bomb an oil refinery with three home made bombs, one of which he heard explode. Then returned to their boat and returned to Florida in the boat. Rorke was subpoened to testify before Eastland's Senate Internal Security Subcommittee about it that summer. Rorke said his anti-Castro Cuban efforts were supported by Somoza of Nicaragua. Rorke's Beachcraft airplane was impounded by the Coast Guard at Meridian, Connecticut, and he contacted Sen. Dodd about getting it released. Rorke's father had been a prosecurtor of radicals and communists in New York City in the 20s (and maybe 30s); his uncle owned the Stork Club - and was an early OSS-CIA guy Sherman Billingsly. On September 24th - 1963, not an insignificnat date in the assassination chronology - Rorke and his pilot, named Sullivan, took off from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. for Central America. They landed in Yukatan, Florida, refueld and took off for Nicaragua, never to be seen again. While I loath to quote Judyth Evry Baker, I choked on the following, which Mary Ferrell wrote: "One of the first things Judyth did when entering my home was to look at a set of the 26 volumes in shelves adjacent to my front door. Judyth said, 'Oh, is that what they look like? I've seen pictures of them but I've never actually seen them before. I've never read anything. I just know everything that happened because I knew Lee.'" "She seated herself on the floor close to my feet and started telling all about her wonderful love affair with Lee Harvey Oswald. She told how she met him in April of 1963 in a New Orleans or Metairie, Louisiana, post office, while standing at the General Delivery window. She said she and her soon-to-be husband, Robert Baker, had chosen to write to earch other through General Delivery using code names. One of the names used was Alexander Rorke. Judyth said it had been planned that Alexander Rorke would pick up Lee Oswald in a plane in some part of the Yucatan, Mexico. She was so startled that she dropped a rolled-up newspaper that was under her arm and Lee Oswald stopped and retrieved it. When he handed it to her, she thanked him in Russian." "I asked her why she would use the Russian language to a man she didn't kjnow standing in a line at the post office in Louisiana. She claimed that Dr. Oschner and his colleagues had insisted that she study Russian and become fluent in the language. She never gave a coherent answer about whey she was instructed to learn Russian. She did ramble off several portions of sentences that did not make sense...." "....When talking about Alexander Rorke, she said she was to meet Lee and Rorke in Cancun, Mexico, following the assassination. She had a book that she claimed David Ferrie had given to her to use as her pass into Elgin Air Force Base in Florida where she was to be put aboard a plane and flown to Mexico to meet with Lee. 'Elgin Air Force Base' was stamped on the spine of the book." If we recognize JVB's story as bogus, and originating, as she acknowledges, from the Oschner Clinic Camp, then there must be a reason for the entire scenario, however weird it appears. Without reading the book or seeing the DVD, this early version of JVB's story of how she met Oswald - shortly after he got to New Orleans in April - she puts it on April 26, 1963, at the new post office, where she was picking up mail from her husband using the "code name" of "Alex Rorke." Is there more to Rorke than meets the eye? BK Judyth's book, Me and Lee, has been out for a year now, and very little has appeared to refute anything she has written. It is well documented and selling especially well in Canada. In fact the Canadian media have been fascinated by her story, though unsurprisingly, her story has not been treated receptively by the so-called news media in the United States. Here are some examples of the type of coverage she received there during the last week in Toronto: http://www.ctv.ca/CT...nada-am-111018/ Lee Harvey Oswald's lover hopes to clear his name www.ctv.caLee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the 1963 assassination of then-U.S. president John F Kennedy, but just two days later he was shot dead. Now, the woman who claims to have been Oswald's mistress says she has proof he didn't do it. http://zoomerradio.c...mS5rNE.facebook The Conspiracy Show Podcast – October 16th, 2011 SUNDAY OCTOBER 16th, 2011 OSWALD'S GIRLFRIEND SPEAKS OUT Richard welcomes Lee Harvey Oswald's girlfriend, Judyth Vary Baker. Baker was once a promising science student who dreamed of finding a cure for cancer, but strayed from a path of mainstream scholarship at the University of Florida to a life of espionage in New Orleans with Lee Harvey Oswald. In her memoir, Me & Lee – How I Came to Know, Love and Lose Lee Harvey Oswald, Judyth offers extensive documentation of how she came to be involved with cancer research at such a young age, the personalities who recruited her to move to New Orleans in 1963, how she was hired there – along with Lee Oswald – by Reily Coffee Co. and fired the same afternoon Lee was arrested for disturbing the peace on Canal Street, and how she became a participant in the development of a biological weapon that Oswald was to smuggle into Cuba to eliminate Fidel Castro. Judyth shows the evidence and relates – from her first-hand experience – all she knows about the Kennedy assassination, her love affair with Lee Oswald over the summer of '63, her conversations with him as late as two days before JFK's death, his role as a deep-cover intelligence agent who was framed for an assassination he was actually trying to prevent, and how he was silenced by his old friend Jack Ruby. "If you want to stay alive, it's time to go into the catacombs. Promise me you will keep your mouth shut!" Judyth Vary Baker was only twenty years old when she heard those alarming words. It was the strained voice of David Ferrie. The date was November 23, 1963, the day after President Kennedy had been fatally shot in Dallas. Her co-worker, friend and lover, Lee Oswald, had been declared the "lone-nut" assassin. Judyth knew this wasn't true, but what could she do? She was now living in Florida with her new husband, Robert Baker III, having left New Orleans in September of 1963 when Lee moved to Dallas after their summer-long affair. Then came November 24th. Lee was shot — live on television — right before her eyes. Devastated, depressed and scared, Judyth was told to lay low, to be a "vanilla girl," to trade her silence for her life. She knew things, secret things. Judyth made a decision. She dropped her childhood dreams of finding a cure for cancer along with her first love: science. Choosing survival, she soon buried herself in her family (raising five kids), her work and art. She resolved that, one day, she would tell her story. She would speak the truth so Lee's children, whom he adored, would know what their father really did and what he really stood for. As a high school student, Judyth had independently discovered a method of accelerating cancer growth in lab mice, and came to the attention of top-echelon doctors and medical researchers, including renowned surgeon Dr. Alton Ochsner, a past president of the ACS and founder of the world-famous Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans. After her sophomore year of college in Florida, Judyth landed a summer job in New Orleans with prominent cancer researcher Dr. Mary Sherman, a physician working with Dr. Ochsner. Within days of her arrival, a man named Lee Oswald just happened to be standing in line behind her at the post office. This seemingly chance encounter began a relationship which drew her through the looking glass into a maelstrom, changing her life forever. She soon found that, instead of working to find a cure for cancer, she was actually helping to create a super-cancer virus for the purpose of killing Fidel Castro. But there was an even more sinister side. Over the next few months Judyth met several infamous figures surrounding Oswald: the fanatical ex-FBI right-wing racist Guy Banister, Mafia Godfather Carlos Marcello, club-owner Jack Ruby, and many others. She also became a friend and workmate of the brilliant but bizarre David Ferrie. Unlike any other book about the events of that fateful year, Judyth Vary Baker's "Me & Lee" is a deeply personal memoir relating the author's firsthand experience in New Orleans as lover and confidante of Lee Harvey Oswald.

  8. No, I have not seen that before, but even if there is some truth to the statement, I fail to see the significance. Wim Here's the document you were asking about -- the "tease": http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?mode=searchResult&absPageId=716968 You seem to have misquoted it. DeLoach reported in a memo dated 4-30-64 that Walter Jenkins had a friend who met an FBI Agent, formerly assigned to New Orleans. This Agent was transferred to Dallas in 1958 after "getting into difficulty with a woman in the French Quarter." This Agent told the friend of Jenkins that he investigated Oswald and learned he was an FBI informant. One Agent (name redacted) was transferred in May 1958 because of misconduct in the 809 Club in New Orleans. Another Agent was transferred in 1960, and both denied they told anyone that Oswald had been an informant. Jenkins' friend would not reveal the identity of the man who told him Oswald was an informant, and there is no evidence either of these men whose names were redacted was the Agent that Jenkins' friend spoke to.
  9. It seems there was a William Ray Dobkins born in 1937 in Upton County, Texas; father was Charles Martin Dobkins and mother was Nonis Lilleene Dobkins. Her mother was Rosetta McFarland (Mack) Reed, from whom she inherited the Reed Ranch. Here is the obit for Nonis: It appears Dobkins was accusing Billy Sol Estes of Pecos County of taking over the Reed family's ranch in the letter to Marguerite Oswald. William R. Dobkins filed to run as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate from Texas against John Tower, Republican, in 1972 but never paid his filing fee. He died in Los Angeles, CA in 1981.
  10. The man named Robert Morrow is (or was) a member of this forum, having last posted in 2010. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001131639170&ref=ts
  11. I posted the Weston article with copies of news articles and documents at my Quixotic Joust blog. This excerpt, also contained a misspelled word, which was not underlined by the Philadelphia FBI: "Fairmont" should be "Fairmount," as in Fairmount Park just north of Rittenhouse Square, where the park guards were headquartered and supervised by Inspector Philip Cella: http://www.maryferre...4&relPageId=112 He told the commission the demonstration at Rittenhouse occurred on August 15, 1963 from noon until 2:15 p.m. This date was a Thursday. It was six days after Lee Oswald was arrested on Canal Street in New Orleans for handing out Fair Play for Cuba leaflets and one day prior to his handing out pro-Castro leaflets at the Trade Mart. Most likely, therefore, it was not Lee in Philadelphia that day.
  12. The Chase Bank has also had a strong connection to the World Bank, as three presidents (John J. McCloy, Eugene R. Black, Sr. and George Woods) all worked at Chase before taking up positions at the international bank. A fourth president, James D. Wolfensohn, is also closely associated with Rockefeller, serving as a director of the Rockefeller Foundation, amongst other family-created institutions.[15] Rockefeller has also for many years hosted annual luncheons at the family's Westchester County Pocantico estate for the world's finance ministers and central bank governors, following the annual Washington meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.[16] These luncheons were held at the Playhouse. These regular meetings were also attended by the other internationalist in the family, John D. Rockefeller III, until his death in 1978. It was through a recommendation from the World Bank's Eugene Black that Rockefeller gained a crucial executive assistant, Joseph Verner Reed, Jr., from the beginning of his Chase chairmanship; Reed had been an assistant to Black at the World Bank and had worked with Black when he was a Chase director, rising to become a Vice President. Reed was subsequently to become a crucial emissary for Rockefeller in the admittance of the Shah of Iran into the United States, amongst other duties. Later, in 1987, Reed became Under Secretary General for Political Affairs at the United Nations, a pivotal senior position that is traditionally given to the United States, thus becoming the top-ranking American in the United Nations Secretariat.[17] http://en.wikipedia....vid_Rockefeller ------------------- http://archive2.jfkl...H-CLB-01-TR.pdf (From Charles Bartlett's oral history transcript) At that point I hadn't really enormously admired Dillon as a member of the Eisenhower [Dwight D. Eisenhower] Administration. He always seemed to me rather stiff. I mean I didn't know of his internal workings, which there's no question he's a very able man. But as a personality, he seemed to me rather stiff. So I wasn't enthusiastic about it, but I didn't have any strong feeling against him. Bartlett fails to say he was a neighbor of the Dillons at Hobe Sound. --------- from Drew Pearson, 12/26/62: Bartlett got his job with the Chattanooga Times — which is owned by The New York Times — when his family occupied a winter home adjacent to the Sulzberger family, publishers of the Times, in Palm Beach. Charlie is also the protege of Arthur Krock, long-time Washington bureau chief of the New York Times who, incidentally, helped push young John F. Kennedy on his way to literary fame.
  13. Jack Modesett married Marcia Heyne, from the family who controlled the investments for the Jesse Jones foundations in Houston for decades. It should be remembered that it was Jones who built the Lamar Hotel and lived in its penthouse while George and Herman Brown were socializing below Jesse's suite in their 8th floor suite (8-F) with their friends. The power wielded by Jesse Jones has never been fully appreciated. See http://www.minormusings.com/Page/Bridge.html. December 31, 1961 - San Antonio EXPRESS and NEWS Torbitt Document: "It should be pointed out here that John Connally, Paul Raigorodsky and Jean DeMenil were close friends and business associates. The were members of an exclusive club in Northern Jamaica. The name of the club was Tryall located on Montego Bay. Bill Stephenson, former head of British Intelligence in the U.S., started in the club in 1946. Connally, DeMenil and Raigorodsky owned and still own palatial retreats within the tightly guarded Tryall compound. L.M. Bloomfield met with the three on numerous occasions at Tryall in Jamaica. Among Connally's assigned duties was the keeping of Texas police agencies in line after the murder. John Connally was an active participant in the assassination plans, but he was one of the agents whose over-all knowledge was limited by the 'need to know basis'." http://www.asiawind.com/forums/read.php?f=11&i=134181&t=134181&v=t&phorum_auth=78e4ae40ade5e26dce5c260b86b94e17 Michael Paine's uncle, Eric Schroeder, was a friend and investment associate of geologist Everette DeGolyer, a long-time Dresser Industries director, who served on the board with Prescott Bush.

  14. J. Bert Peck shows up in the 1920 census as a 19-year-old son of Richard Teal and Emma Johnson Peck of Dallas Co., TX. Emma's father was Robert Pleasant Johnson, and her mother was Nancy Ann Thomas Johnson, born about 1850 in Georgia. In 1930 J. Bert was married to Lillian S. Peck, and they lived at 3103 Spurlock St. in Dallas with a seven-year-old daughter Eloise M. Peck. His listed his profession as superintendent, farm gravel. I haven't been able to connect his mother to the Lyndon Johnson family, however.
  15. They owned KLBJ FM radio and KTBC television. http://boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php?action=printpage;topic=76009.0 'When KTBC-FM became KLBJ, they launched an album-rock format, with dee jays who made about $450 a month. They split the audience KRMH had built, and sent that station into bankrupcy. Their jocks were making in excess of $1000, and couldn't compete. When the television allocations were made for central Texas, LBJ made sure channel 9 was reserved for the public station. That meant no other Austin station could be on VHF- all the others had to go to UHF. KTBC-TV was the only television station in Austin for more than 15 years.' http://www.klbjam.com/station/history.aspx
  16. Madeleine Duncan Brown was employed by Glenn Advertising, Inc. in its Dallas office for a number of years. Founded by Ray K. Glenn in Ada, OK, the firm moved to Dallas in 1937. Ray Glenn moved variously from Dallas to Fort Worth, then to California and back to Dallas. He died in 1957. After his death, the firm expanded even more and eventually merged with Bozell & Jacobs, by which time it was a huge operation, placing advertising ads in radio, television and other media and handling public relations work as well. Madeleine's story revealed a great deal about how Lyndon Johnson's personal power network operated. The only private business with which he was ever associated was "Lady Bird's" broadcasting network composed of radio and television stations. LBJ, who was close to FDR, undoubtedly learned a great deal about this business from Elliott Roosevelt, who had acquired stations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the 1930's (with help from Jesse Jones of Houston, who was also involved in owning both Houston newspapers at one time as well as having a broadcast station located at the top of the Rice Hotel). The decades between the rise of radio and the Kennedy-Nixon TV debates were transitional ones that changed politics from campaigns by person-to-person stump speeches on whistle-stop train tours, printed up in local print media for literate people to read, to sound bites and image creation delivered by sophisticated ad executives, selling politics like they did soap. It is doubtful, no matter what Madeleine believed she knew, that LBJ would have entrusted all his schemes to her. But she points the way to where to look. That is the real purpose of connecting dots--simply to give the wary ideas about where to look for the buried bodies. Glenn Advertising is a potential grave site that pointed me to a family named Toline. While searching through the city directories for Dallas available at Ancestry.com for persons who worked at Glenn Advertising, the name Marjorie Jane Toline appeared during the years 1945-48. She had a sister named Elizabeth Anne Toline, who married attorney Robert Gerald Storey, Jr. in 1944. Storey's father headed a law firm in Dallas and was a networker par excellence, having been president or chairman of both the Texas State Bar at one time as well as the American Bar Association. He had been assigned in the post WWII years in Munich as a prosecutor in the Nuremburg Nazi trials, along with fellow Texan Leon Jaworski of Houston. Both men were called by the men who comprised the Warren Commission to sit in on Jack Ruby's questioning. No wonder Jack Ruby talked about Nazi pogroms! These men had been involved within the State Department, Justice Department and Military Tribunals which covered up those pogroms--all for the sake of international cooperation and world trade. Whether they agreed with the policy or not, they were part of what happened as a result of those trials, which led to Operation Paperclip and the importation of war criminals to the United States. The real purpose of assassination research, in my opinion, is to help us to understand history--to discover how things went wrong and were covered up. It would be a relief if more research would just think about the clues and follow them up rather than wasting so much time criticizing others for not being perfect.

  17. A new post has been added to the blog Quixotic Joust entitled: Connection between Robert G. Storey, Jr., Dal-Tex Bldg. and H.L. Hunt which addresses this thread. When John Stuart Hunt married in 1946, the rehearsal dinner was hosted by Mr. and Mrs. H.L. Hunt in their home on Lawther Drive. A bridesmaid was the daughter-in-law of Robert G. Storey, who was the former Elizabeth Anne Toline (daughter of Basil Irving Toline). Toline, incredibly enough was from Moline (Rock Island) Illinois and was assistant sales manager for the farm implement company (John Deere) in 1930. Elizabeth had been born in Moline, IL in 1921. Once they moved to Dallas, B.I. Toline, as he was called, became president of the Dallas Agricultural Club. 501 Elm Street built in 1902 Originally ~ The John Deere Plow Company <b>Dallas Textile ("Dal-Tex") Building (Kingman-Texas Building)<br style="background-color: #ead1dc; color: #990000;">(John Deere Plow Company Building^)<br style="background-color: #ead1dc; color: #990000;">501 Elm Street</b> John Stuart Hunt, whose father was Sherman Hunt, graduated from the University of Texas in 1943, a member of the same fraternity and class as James McQueen Moroney, Jr., who with his father worked with the Dealeys at the Dallas Morning News. Sherman Hunt was an elder brother of Harold Lafayette Hunt, the Dallas oil millionaire. Both were sons of Haraldson Lafayette Hunt, a South Carolinian who had relocated to Illinois before 1880 and reared his family there. Sherman had moved to Montana, where he established a family before moving them to Dallas in the 1930s after his brother H.L. discovered oil in East Texas. However, Sherman had previously traveled on business to Mexico, as shown by his passport application below: (images not pasted here; go to above link - http://quixoticjoust.blogspot.com/2011/06/connection-between-robert-g-storey-jr.html). Stevens Point (Wis.) Daily Journal - Thursday, March 3, 1977 FBI has letter Oswald wroteto H.L. Hunt DALLAS (AP) — The FBI acknowledges that it has obtained a letter which Lee Harvey Oswald reportedly wrote to a Dallas millionaire, two weeks before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, asking about Oswald's "position"' before any "steps" were taken. A spokesman for the FBI said here that the letter was "being investigated" and declined to comment on any findings since it was received. He indicated the letter was obtained only recently. The FBI spokesman said Wednesday that the letter apparently came from a former aide to H. L. Hunt, a late Dallas millionaire who was a strong financial supporter of conservative causes. The brief letter, dated Nov. 8, 1963, said: "Dear Mr. Hunt:"I would like information concerning my position. I am asking only for information. I am suggesting that we discuss the matter, fully before any steps are taken by me or anyone else. Thank you." A comparison of the handwritten note with samples of Oswald's handwriting led investigators to conclude that it was written by Oswald or someone who could imitate his handwriting. Oswald, according to the Warren Commission which investigated the assassination, fired the shots that killed Kennedy. Earlier this week published reports said a copy of the letter had been sent to a retired Texas newspaper editor, Penn Jones, at Midlothian. Tex., by an unidentified source in Mexico City. Jones said the source sent an accompanying letter explaining that he had given a copy of the letter to FBI director Clarence Kelly in 1977, but had received no response. Jones quoted the source as saying that because he had received no answer he was afraid something bad "might happen to me" and had decided to leave the country temporarily. Jones said he wrote to the address in Mexico City, but never heard from the man again. Oswald's widow, Marina, testified in 1964 before the Warren Commission that about two weeks before the assassination Oswald had mentioned he had found a job opening that would provide "more interesting work." John Stuart Hunt A Final Tribute to Stuart Hunt John Stuart Hunt was born on July 6, 1921, and passed away on March 18, 2011. He was born in Miles City, Mont., to "Tot" and Sherman Hunt Sr. He arrived in Tyler at the age of 9. His brother, Sherman Jr., drove the entire distance from Montana to Texas at the age of 14 to meet with their father at the beginning of the East Texas Oil Boom. The family moved to Dallas in 1939. He attended Washington and Lee University for two years before returning to Texas to be close to home at the outbreak of World War II, and graduated from The University of Texas in 1942. He was a proud member of the United States Marine Air Corps. Upon his return to Dallas after active duty, he married Jeanne Gannon in 1946. He remarked that he would marry the love of his life after seeing her enter the ballroom of the Dallas Country Club, before he ever knew her name. His lengthy and colorful career ran the gamut of endeavors. He started in the oil industry, purchasing leases at the age of 18 after convincing a judge to remove his status as a minor. Stuart participated in the prosperity and growth of Dallas after World War II. He owned, operated or served on the boards of numerous corporations and businesses in banking, to insurance, ranching and real estate development. In looking over his 70 years as a businessman, his greatest personal achievement was the founding of Preston Trails Golf Club. He was the visionary behind the concept and the driving force to see it through to fruition. Preston Trails was opened in 1965 and is continually regarded as one of the most respected private golf clubs in the United States. Mr. Hunt's crowning recognition came about last year on the first tee box, upon the reopening of the golf course. He was honored as the last living founder of Preston Trails. A man of few words, he expressed humble appreciation for the spirit and camaraderie that has existed throughout the life of the club. He further stated that this "brotherhood" had exceeded his wildest dreams, and for this he was most grateful. He is survived by his three children, John Ward Hunt, Elizabeth Hara Hunt, Hilre Lucille Hunt; six grandchildren, Elizabeth Gannon Hunt, John Ward Hunt Jr., Andrew Stuart Hunt, Margaret Camille Hunt, William Kent Hunt, Henry William Frost V; one great-grandchild, Beau Turner Jr.; two nephews, Clay McLean Hunt and Todd McLean Hunt, sons of the late Mary and [his brother] Sherman Hunt Jr. Ted Dealey Steps Up to Dallas News Board ChairmanMARCH 17, 1960 DALLAS (AP) — E. M. (Ted) Dealey has stepped up to become chairman of the board and publisher of the Dallas Morning News. Joseph M. Dealey succeeded his father as president of The News and its associated enterprises, WFAA television and radio. The announcement Tuesday by the board of directors of A. H. Belo Corp., formal name of the company, also said that Managing Editor Jack Krueger, formerly of The Associated Press, had been named one of three new directors. The board elevated James M. Moroney Sr. from senior vice president to vice chairman of the board; elected Ben H. Decherd Jr. and James M. Moroney Jr. to vice presidents, and elevated Joe Lubben from vice president to senior vice president. Other than Krueger, the new directors named include A. Earl Cullum Jr., prominent in radio and television engineering; D. Gordon Rupe, a leader in investment banking and civic affairs, and Sol M. Katz, circulation manager of The News. The man whose wedding rehearsal dinner would be hosted by his uncle, oil millionaire H.L. Hunt, lived in the same fraternity house at the University of Texas with James M. Moroney, Jr., whose father had long worked with the Dealey family at the Dallas Morning News.
  18. I have been researching Texans who may have been involved in the assassination for quite some time. I attempted to paste a recent blog post but was unable to do so because it contains too many images. Please see http://quixoticjoust.blogspot.com/2011/06/bedford-wynnes-connections-to-dallas.html in order to see the excerpts from various news articles, journals and other sources, as well as other posts on the same blog. Bedford Wynne's Connections to Dallas Lawyers and Military Intelligence Bedford Wynne's In-Laws In 1944 Bedford Shelmire Wynne married Juanita Jean Love, the daughter of T. Stafford Love, a medical doctor. Her grandfather (Thomas Bell Love) had been an attorney, insurance executive and a Democratic politician and bureaucrat in Dallas until his death in 1948, with an office (in the 1940s) at 1922 Republic Bank Building while residing in the Argyle Apartments at 3212 Oak Lawn. Dr. Love's office was in the Medical Arts Building and at 4239 Prescott Ave., while living at the south side of Cochran Chapel Road at Midway, a short distance east of Dallas' Love Field. The marriage between Bedford and Nita lasted until 1971, when they divorced. She was a member of Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas when she died in 2006. Paternal Grandfather of Juanita Jean Love (Mrs. Bedford S. Wynne, 1943)Thomas Bell Love (1870-1948), lawyer and Democratic politician, the son of Thomas Calvin and Sarah Jane (Rodgers) Love, was born in Webster County, Missouri, on June 23, 1870. He graduated with a B.S. degree from Drury College in Springfield, Missouri, in 1891. He was married to Mattie Roberta Goode on June 11, 1892, and they had three children. Before moving to Dallas in 1899, he was city attorney of Springfield, Missouri (1892-94), a member of the board of managers of Missouri State Hospital, and secretary of the Democratic State Central Committee of Missouri (1896-98). Love was a prominent figure in Texas political life for the first three decades of the twentieth century. He was elected to the Texas House of Representatives from Dallas County in 1902, 1904, and 1906; the last term he served as speaker of the House of Representatives. He was an expert on taxes, insurance, and banking and had an important role in the passage of the reform legislation of 1905 and 1907 related to these issues. At the conclusion of the 1907 legislative session, Governor Thomas Mitchell Campbell appointed him commissioner of the newly formed Department of Insurance and Banking. Love resigned from the office in 1910 to resume law practice in Dallas and to become associated with Southwestern Life Insurance Company and Western Indemnity Company. He did not retire from politics, however, for he was a leading spokesman for the prohibition forces in the 1911 submission campaign, and he was an early supporter of Woodrow Wilson for the Democratic nomination in 1912. In 1917 President Wilson appointed him assistant secretary of the Treasury Department and placed him in charge of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Returning to Texas in 1919, Love was elected national Democratic committeeman from Texas in 1920, and he served in that capacity until 1924. He was a leader of the anti-Ferguson forces in the gubernatorial campaign of that year. In 1928 he opposed the nomination of Alfred E. Smith and bolted the party during the election to help organize the Hoover-Democrat clubs that went into the Republican column that year. The last elected office he held was that of state senator (1927-31). Love died in Dallas on September 17, 1948. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Norman D. Brown, Hood, Bonnet, and Little Brown Jug: Texas Politics, 1921-1928 (College Station: Texas A&M University Press, 1984). Lewis L. Gould, Progressives and Prohibitionists: Texas Democrats in the Wilson Era (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1973; rpt., Austin: Texas State Historical Association, 1992). As we reported in a previous blog post, Bedford had attended in 1938 a very small private school in Dallas, the Texas Country Day School, which had been founded with only 10 students in 1934. One of the best recruiting devices for the school was the hiring as its football coach then-famous Heisman-Trophy winner and All-America football star from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Davey O'Brien, who had graduated from Dallas' Woodrow Wilson High School in 1932. As Barr McClellan mentions in his book, Blood, Money & Power, among Davey's fellow students during the 1930s were Congressman Jim Collins and Malcolm (Mac) Wallace. Davey grew up with his divorced mother, Ella May O'Brien in the home of her parents Robert P. Keith and his wife Ola Poole Keith from Tennessee. Ella was born in Cleburne, Texas in 1890, where the family lived until they moved to Dallas after 1900, and Robert changed from selling insurance in Cleburne to working as a salesman for a wholesale produce company. By 1920 the entire family was still living together--Ella's brother, Boyd M. Keith, bringing his wife to live with the family for a decade before buying a house next door. Ella herself had married and divorced while Davey was still a young toddler; Davey had an older brother named Boyd O'Brien. Ella May taught at a private school by then, and her brother had a florist shop. Their closest neighbors on Tokalon Drive were the family of Robert G. Storey, a lawyer, who had two sons a few years younger than Davey.... Lt. Col. Robert G. Storey Robert Gerald Storey (1893-1981) was a Colonel in the U.S. Air Force during World War II and was Executive Trial Counsel for the United States at the Nuremberg Trial of major Axis War Criminals. He personally interrogated Rudoph Hess, Hitler's Deputy and Nazi Party Leader. In 1947, Mr Storey founded the Southwestern Legal Foundation, serving as President (without compensation) from 1947 to 1972. He served as Dean of SMU School of Law from 1947 to 1959, President of the American Bar Association 1952-1953, President of the Inter-American Bar Association 1954-1956, Member of the Commission to Reorganize Executive Branch of U.S. Government (Hoover Commission) 1953-1955, Member and Chairman, Board of Foreign Scholarships (Fulbright Commission) 1956-1962, and Vice Chairman, United States Civil Rights Commission 1957-1963. He served and received awards from numerous local, state, national and international organizations. In 1969 the World Peace Through Law Center presented him its World Lawyer Award in Bagkok, Thailand. It is very possible Bedford Wynne's father Angus G. Wynne, who was the first president of the State Bar of Texas (1939-40) knew Storey, who served in that same capacity (1948-49). Robert, Jr. died in 1962 at the tender age of 41. In 1964, however, the elder Robert G. Storey appeared with colleague Leon Jaworski and others to hear testimony of Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade concerning whether or not there was any evidence that Lee Oswald had been an informant. ROBERT GERALD STOREY AND LEON JAWORSKI Herbert J. Miller helped choose Leon Jaworski to head the Texas Commission of Inquiry into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The Commission consisted of Jaworski, Texas State Attorney General Waggoner Carr, and Attorney Robert Gerald Storey. Robert Gerald Storey was Assistant Attorney [General?] of Texas for Criminal Appeals from 1921 to 1923. From 1945 to 1946, he was an Executive Trial Counsel for the United States, Nuremberg, Trial of Major Axis War Criminals, 1945 - 1946. From 1953 to 1955, he was a member of the Commission to Reorganize the Executive Branch of United States Government (Hoover Commission). Storey was an advisor to the Korean Government on the judicial and legal profession in 1954. In 1959 he worked at the Korean Legal Center. From 1954 to 1955 Storey was State Department representative in the Far East and the Middle East to assist legal profession of friendly free nations. From 1958 to 1962 Storey was the Chairman of the Board of Foreign Scholarships (International Education Exchange). Waggoner Carr stated that the purpose of the Commission of Inquiry was to have several lawyers who were independent of the Government, monitor the investigation of the Kennedy assassination. Leon Jaworksi was a former prosecutor at Nazi war crimes trials in Hadamar and Darmstardt. In 1962 Jaworski was appointed Special Prosecutor in the contempt case against Segregationist Governor, Ross Barnett. Leon Jaworski was an associate of John DeMenil. Leon Jaworski was a trustee of the M.D. Anderson Foundation. Congressional Representative Wright Patman's (Dem.-TX.) Subcommittee on Foundations revealed the M.D Anderson acted as a conduit for CIA funds. It granted the American Fund for Free Jurists a half million dollars to further its work. Leon Jaworski refused to comment about his CIA connections. Jaworski was also a Director of the Republic National Bank. [Washington Post 2.18.67] The Warren Commission took testimony from 550 witnesses, but Leon Jaworski was present at the interrogation of only nine. [Dallas Morning News 1.5.64 p14 sec. 4] Journalist Dorothy Kilgallen reported that Jaworski was present at the interrogation of JACK RUBY, who asked to be transported to Washington, D.C., so he could talk directly with the President. As a representative of the Attorney General of the State of Texas Jaworski had the power to allow RUBY to do this. He said nothing. Jaworski told the FBI he was not present during the interrogation of Ruby, however, his associate, Robert Storey, was. [FBI Inter. W/Jaworski 8.24.64 Houston, Texas] On August 24, 1964, the New York Times reported that Jaworski was being considered for the position of Attorney General of the United States should Robert Kennedy decide to run for the United States Senate in New York State....

  21. Endgame – Part One Ever since I was a kid. After all, when you think of what I had, what else was there to 
aspire to? – Nelson Rockefeller, January 1964 Just how close did Nelson get to his aspiration? A heartbeat away …as the saying goes. And he didn’t even have to get elected? He was appointed, because of the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution, which had been approved some seven years earlier in 1967. Introduced as a bill by Indiana’s freshman senator, Birch Bayh (who voted against confirming Nelson for veep), the legislation passed with Nelson’s “silent” help: “… I asked that a comprehensive proposal by New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller be included in the record. Even though this proposal represented a distinct departure from our consensus, I had some regrets that it had to be presented in writing, not in person. The Governor would have been a glamorous witness, bringing to our hearings much of the press attention that I felt we needed to keep our work before the public eye. Earlier, Ken Keating, as a senator from New York, had approached me to suggest that his governor testify in person, as he was eminently qualified to do so since he and his staff had given long and deep study to the problems of disability and succession" – Birch Bayh, One Heartbeat Away, 1968 After divorcing his wife in 1962, Nelson endured the sniping that appeared to keep his presidential hopes beyond his reach. For years he vacillated from running, to not running. In 1968, after saying he wouldn’t seek the election (and upsetting his main supporter Agnew), Nelson finally decides to run, bypassing the primaries for a direct run at the convention. He failed. With all his money and charm, maybe there was another way. Nelson and his family had been involved with psyops for years. From George Michael Evica’s, A Certain Arrogance: Powerful forces had indeed come together to enlist [John Foster] Dulles as a major player in the expected dark times. In 1938, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., had offered him the direction of a “task force” that would evaluate “missionary activities throughout the world.” Given the historical connections between the Rockefeller family's goals in investment, politics, intelligence, and evangelistic religion, the offer to John Foster Dulles was anticipatory. The Rockefeller clan and its missionary intelligence network had emulated other powerful families, including the historic Medici. For over a thousand years the Papacy, and later the Spanish Inquisition, used the Church's missionaries in Europe and the New World for intelligence collection. Their modern counterpart was the Rockefeller family, operating in the American West and, later, in Central and South America. As early as 1883, the Rockefellers had “used missionaries to gather intelligence about [Native American] insurgencies in the West or to discourage them.” The growth of the Rockefellers' wealth was exactly matched by the family's collaboration with Christian Fundamentalist missionary action. By 1957, the Rockefellers had decided to support the Fundamentalist revivalism of Billy Graham, whose supporters included the ostensibly liberal Protestant Henry Pitriey Van Dusen, a Rockefeller Foundation trustee and editor of Foster Dulles' “spiritual legacy.” The Establishment Protestant churches supported Graham, hoping to enlist converts, but the Rockefellers' allies in Fundamentalism ultimately triumphed. Though Dulles was unable to join the Rockefeller missionary commission as its director, he did complete a part of his task, visiting Chinese General Chiang Kai-shek. Dulles assessed the Asian leader as a stalwart anti-Communist and “sincere Chinese patriot,” who was the target of unfair Communist propaganda concerning the general's anti-democratic propensities. For Foster, the visit was the beginning of his long involvement in Sino-American politics. Dulles' appraisal of Chiang Kai-shek was an important illustration of the Rockefeller family's fusion of profit-seeking and Christian missionary work, Dulles maintained his relationship with Rockefeller interests throughout the rest of his life, eventually serving as chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation. In 1937, just before his trip to China, Dulles accepted two invitations to a pair of major international gatherings later cited as catalysts for his religious “rediscovery.” John Foster was invited to attend the “Conference on Intellectual Co-operation in Paris, under League of Nations auspices … called to study the possibilities for peaceful change in a world … moving inexorably toward war.” Dulles' negative response to this political meeting was suspicious, dovetailing too neatly with his imminent return to Godliness. The ensuing Conference on Church and State meeting in Oxford, England, had invited world-prominent clergy and secular leaders. According to one of his biographers, Dulles was most impressed “by the scope and range of the ideas the churchmen had to offer.” But it was more likely that Dulles and his backers decided to revive Foster's dormant relation to the Divinity as a perfect tool of foreign policy and intelligence. His brother Allen's earlier success during World War I using the same tactic may, in fact, have been Foster's model. Acutely aware of the economic and political importance of the world conflict that was to erupt, Dulles recognized the “moral dynamism potential” of the liberal Protestant tradition. Foster Dulles' Epiphany: Spiritual or Political? Dulles then supposedly experienced a religious revelation in July 1937. Yet “some [commentators] thought … the more than casual effort to demonstrate a revival of his faith reflected an attempt to give himself a more appropriate 'image' for church work.” With Dulles' longtime commitment to German and Japanese economic and industrial development, his “reasons for moving deeply into church work at this time may have been complex.” His “church work” after 1937 was, in fact, troubling to a number of observers. Why? Both the secular Paris conference and the religious Oxford conference in 1937 had been organized by the same international elite establishment, and undoubtedly for the same purpose: to support an alliance of Western “Christian” power in opposition to the anticipated strength of the Communist East, led by the Soviet Union. Dulles' son Avery summarized his father's intention succinctly: “He began to be interested in using the churches [beginning in 1937] as a means … to overcome … nationalism and promote world peace.” Not to mention, of course, nurturing a supranational capitalist world order engaged in a battle to the death against Stalin's USSR and labor organizations of any kind, anywhere. [emphasis added] In January 1954, Jackson left his government psyops machinery in place and returned to the Luce media empire. Several close friends in covert operations and psychological warfare followed C.D. as presidential representatives, including Jackson’s immediate replacement, Nelson Rockefeller. Regardless of who held the position as White House psyops chief, C.D. Jackson had his hand on the throttle of American psychological warfare from 1954 through 1959, so frequently shuttling between his positions with Luce and Eisenhower’s administration that Jackson’s staff at Time created a party game out of his “send-offs and welcomes.” [emphasis added] Later in 1954, Jackson wrote in support of Robert A. McClure, commander of the American Military Mission in Iran after the CIA coup. Analysts for the Agency regularly sent their reports to both the CIA and C.D. Jackson. He was able to bring his psychological warfare perspective to the United Nations in 1954 as the American delegate to the UN’s Trusteeship Committee, but it was a troubling time as he tried to make political sense of the United States’ ambiguous attitude toward colonialism.…” Jackson felt “the Western World,” outnumbered by “the swirling mass of emotionally Supercharged Africans and Asians and Arabs,” would discover that this “much-needed world forum” would finally be witness to “putting white prestige on the skids.” Notably absent from Jackson’s concern for “white prestige” was any sense of either color-free justice or the truth. Jackson was a key member of the World Trade Foundation that “intensified the movement to globalize America’s international business interests.” In 1953, C.D. Jackson became the acknowledged founder of the Bilderberg group in the United States, with President Eisenhower still an enthusiastic working partner of the new political and economic establishment. Jackson himself attended every Bilderberg meeting until he died in 1964. With the American branch of the Bilderberg Conference established, Jackson moved to develop an “economic expansion” project fusing potent symbols with powerful trade and commerce plans: images and actions were to be combined to “counter the lure of communism.” That project was established at the Princeton Conference for a World Economic Plan, held on May 15 and 16, 1954. Jackson shared his global vision with Allen Dulles. Jackson’s careful selection of images and words, embodied in the Princeton Conference recommendations, “became the basis for … a new world economic policy for the United States. Both the language and the actions of the trans-national corporations were created by the master of American psyops. Despite C.D. Jackson’s “crisis-mongering,” President Eisenhower realized how important propaganda was to the success of his “Foreign Economic Policy Battle plan.” The Advertising Council of America was enlisted, a ”private” Committee on Foreign Trade, Inc., was established, and through that front group Time, Inc., again commanded by Henry Luce and C.D. Jackson, “contributed expansively to [Eisenhower’s] … success.” By 1956, Eisenhower had captured significant support with his vigorous and creative word choice; Paul Hoffman praised the president, noting that ‘Semantics are important.…’’ C.D. Jackson must have beamed. If a Third World War were to happen, President Eisenhower had reportedly confided to C.D. Jackson that it would be won by American psychological operations. Jackson continued to be called on by the president to brainstorm new intelligence ideas and operations. But those operations were frequently corrupt, and as a key agent of the US Power-elite C.D. Jackson was deeply involved in manipulating American social, educational, and cultural institutions. Just before Eisenhower called on him again to serve as the president’s Cold War/psyops expert, Jackson attended a crucial academic meeting whose agenda was damage control from seven years of CIA collaboration. Initiated in 1950, Project Troy, surely named for the famous Trojan Horse subterfuge, had collected a group of top-drawer Harvard faculty. The project ultimately morphed into the Center for International Studies (CENIS), responsible for key analyses of the Soviet Union, China, and nuclear weapons. Because Harvard banned on-campus classified research, Troy/CENIS had to meet at MIT. The original Cambridge group had been given a typical C.D. Jackson psy-ops directive to solve a “specific [apparently technical] problem”: How could the CIA overcome Soviet jamming of the CIA’S propaganda broadcasts to Eastern Europe? “Within one year, the Agency spent $300,000 so that CENIS could “research worldwide political, economic and social change … in the interest of the entire intelligence community.” Seven years after Troy/CENIS tackled its initial problem, a CENIS review board met to examine the difficult question of “academic integrity.” Despite the fundamental reality that the Cambridge faculty had been bought by the CIA, the reviewers worried over “corrosion” of the academic “channel,” as if individual faculty members were somehow like mental tributaries through which classified analysis flowed into the main Agency pipeline. McGeorge Bundy, an intimate friend of the CIA who chaired the CENIS review, immediately saw the value of the metaphor. As he put it, “The channel is more important than that a lot of water should be running through it.” There could be no doubt as to whose imagery had captured the flawed ethic of the Cambridge operation. Attendee C. D. Jackson observed that American intelligence “work has got to be done.…” And, he added, “I have not noticed any visible corrosion.’’ So much for the integrity of Harvard Yard’s academic plumbing. The program continued, and the initial intrusion of the CIA was almost immediately matched by the corruption of Harvard’s Center for International Affairs, through at least 1957. In the summer of 1955, Nelson Rockefeller called a conference on “the psychological aspects of U.S. strategy” with key psyops stars from the Operations Research Office, Johns Hopkins University, including its School of Advanced International studies; the U.S. Military Academy; the director of CENIS, housed at M.I.T.; the director of the Council on Foreign Relations’ “studies”; American air intelligence; the New England Electric System; and others, including Henry Kissinger, at the time hanging his hat at Harvard. The top U.S. psychological warfare veteran in attendance was, of course, C.D. Jackson. Whatever moral rant John Foster Dulles was directing at that moment against Russia and China, Jackson and associates were running the American psyops show. On May 7, 1956, Jackson again met a powerhouse of “psych-war” people, including DeWitt C. Poole, A.A. Berle, Tom Braden, and Nelson Rockefeller, who were attempting to re-energize the OCB as Eisenhower was applying a brake to the government’s psychological warfare engine. Whenever possible, psyops agents had been active outside the White House and the State Department. Through 1955-56, Allen Dulles, Frank Wisner, the CIA, C.D. Jackson and his Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty had cooperatively stirred the bubbling European pot of anti-Soviet revolution, hoping for American establishment and intelligence support. But President Eisenhower distanced himself from the more ferocious of the Cold War/psyops crusaders; the worst of a dangerous Cold War period was coming to a close, and C.D. Jackson apparently lost some power and influence. Yet Jackson still remained a key figure in the administration’s “rollback programs, commanding the Operations Coordinating Board. [emphasis added] Some history and to help understand the nomenclature from Wiki: Approval of clandestine and covert operations The Directorate of Plans (DDP) was created in 1952, taking control of the Office of Policy Coordination, a covert action group that received services from the CIA but did not go through the CIA management. The other main unit that went into the Directorate of Plans was the Office of Special Operations, which did clandestine intelligence collection (e.g., espionage) as opposed to covert action. Approval of clandestine and covert operations came from a variety of committees, although in the early days of quasi-autonomous offices and the early DDP, there was more internal authority to approve operations. After its creation in the Truman Administration, the CIA was, at first, the financial manager for OPC and OSO, authorized to handle "unvouchered funds" by National Security Council document 4-A of December 1947, the launching of peacetime covert action operations. NSC 4-A made the Director of Central Intelligence responsible for psychological warfare, establishing at the same time the principle that covert action was an exclusively Executive Branch function. Early autonomy of OPC At first, the supervision by committee allowed the OPC to exercise "early use of its new covert action mandate dissatisfied officials at the Departments of State and Defense. The Department of State, believing this role too important to be left to the CIA alone and concerned that the military might create a new rival covert action office in the Pentagon, pressed to reopen the issue of where responsibility for covert action activities should reside. Consequently, on June 18, 1948, a new NSC directive, NSC 10/2, superseded NSC 4-A. NSC 10/2 directed CIA to conduct "covert" rather than merely "psychological" operations, defining them as all activities "which are conducted or sponsored by this Government against hostile foreign states or groups or in support of friendly foreign states or groups but which are so planned and executed that any US Government responsibility for them is not evident to unauthorized persons and that if uncovered the US Government can plausibly disclaim any responsibility for them". NSC 10/2 defined the scope of these operations as: "propaganda; economic warfare; preventive direct action, including sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance movements, guerrillas and refugee liberations [sic] groups, and support of indigenous anti-Communist elements in threatened countries of the free world. Such operations should not include armed conflict by recognized military forces, espionage, counter-espionage, and cover and deception for military operations." Guerrilla warfare was outside this statement of scope, but such operations came under partial CIA control with NSC 10/5 of October 1951. See "Psychological Strategy Board" below. To implement covert actions under NSC 10/2, OPC was created on September 1, 1948. Its initial structure had it taking "guidance from the Department of State in peacetime and from the military in wartime, initially had direct access to the State Department and to the military without having to proceed through CIA's administrative hierarchy, provided the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) was informed of all important projects and decisions. In 1950 this arrangement was modified to ensure that policy guidance came to OPC through the DCI. During the Korean War the OPC grew quickly. Wartime commitments and other missions soon made covert action the most expensive and bureaucratically prominent of CIA's activities. "Concerned about this situation, DCI Walter Bedell Smith in early 1951 asked the NSC for enhanced policy guidance and a ruling on the proper "scope and magnitude" of CIA operations. The White House responded with two initiatives. In April 1951 President Truman created the Psychological Strategy Board (PSB) under the NSC to coordinate government-wide psychological warfare strategy." Putting special operations under a "psychological" organization paralleled the military's development of United States Army Special Forces, which was created by a Pentagon unit called the Psychological Warfare Division. "NSC 10/5, issued in October 1951, reaffirmed the covert action mandate given in NSC 10/2 and expanded CIA's authority over guerrilla warfare"[15] The PSB was soon abolished by the incoming Eisenhower administration, but the expansion of CIA's covert action writ in NSC 10/5 helped ensure that covert action would remain a major function of the Agency. As the Truman administration ended, CIA was near the peak of its independence and authority in the field of covert action. Although CIA continued to seek and receive advice on specific projects ...no group or officer outside of the DCI and the President himself had authority to order, approve, manage, or curtail operations. Increasing control by CIA management Main article: Oversight of United States covert operations After Smith, who was Eisenhower's World War II Chief of Staff, consolidated of OSO, OPC, and CIA in 1952, the Eisenhower administration began narrowing CIA's latitude in 1954. In accordance with a series of National Security Council directives, the responsibility of the Director of Central Intelligence for the conduct of covert operations was further clarified. President Eisenhower approved NSC 5412 on March 15, 1954, reaffirming the Central Intelligence Agency's responsibility for conducting covert actions abroad". A series of committees, containing representatives from State, Defense, CIA, and sometimes the White House or NSC, reviewed operations. Over time and reorganizations, these committees were called the Operations Coordinating Board (OCB), NSC 5412/2 Special Group or simply Special Group, Special Group (Augmented), 303 Committee, and Special Group (Counterinsurgency). Forces were operating within and without the governmental “operations.” The Dulles brothers operated their own “CIA” inside the State Department, in association with Frank Wisner’s OPC (Office of Policy Coordination), and had brought into the U.S. thousands of Nazi’s against direct written orders of then President Harry Truman. This was extra-constitutional support of a big psyops, the Cold War, a struggle staged as the manipulative morality play of absolute good versus absolute evil. “Winning the hearts, minds and pocketbooks.” As time went on the extra-constitutional activity increased: a continual attack upon the authority of the Office of the President of the United States. Considering that Nixon got his big break through his knowledge of the Dulles’ behind their back Nazi importation, Watergate must have been sweet revenge. As we all know, if two rather interesting ladies, FBI informer Sarah Jane Moore or Manson-follower Lynnette “Squeaky” Fromme had worked their guns better. Gerry would have been dead and Rocky would have reached his “goal.” Because of the wording of the 22nd Amendment, Rocky could then go to the American people, plead on all the trouble, and then “heal the nation” for a possible two more terms … enough time to get empire in place. Now for an interesting view of history, out of the shadows of black ops one can discern the hum of psyops: surveillance, blackmail, assassination and narcotics trafficking. From Rodney Stich’s Defrauding America: PEGASUS UNIT Parker described his role in a highly secret intelligence unit called Pegasus. Russbacher confirmed this group's existence, although he was hesitant to talk about it. Parker stated that Pegasus was set up by former President Harry Truman to spy on other CIA units and report to the President any unlawful activities by the CIA. He said the last president the Pegasus unit was able to report to was John F. Kennedy. MORE FUEL FOR CHARGES THAT CIA WAS INVOLVED IN KENNEDY'S ASSASSINATION He stated that after President Kennedy decided to pull U.S. troops out of the CIA Vietnam operation, that would cause the loss of billions of dollars from the CIA drug trafficking, certain CIA factions decided to assassinate Kennedy. Pegasus people discovered the plot and told Kennedy two weeks before he was assassinated. These statements by a deep-cover CIA operative and Marine Corps officer certainly raises serious questions and adds further fuel to the speculation and charges that the CIA was involved in Kennedy's assassination. In light of other CIA criminalities, there should be little doubt that the CIA has the mindset to assassinate a president of the United States. In later pages there is additional support for this theory. Parker stated that after Kennedy's death the Pegasus unit was not able to function as intended, because of the corrupt activities of U. S. presidents after the Kennedy assassination. He named Johnson, Nixon and Bush. He stated that Reagan was not implicated like the others; he was more of a figurehead for powerful factions controlled by former CIA Director Bush. The role of deep-cover CIA officer, Colonel Trenton Parker, has been described in earlier pages, and his function in the CIA's counter-intelligence unit, Pegasus. Parker had stated to me earlier that a CIA faction was responsible for the murder of JFK, and that Kennedy was advised three weeks before the assassination of a plan to assassinate him in one of three cities that Kennedy would be visiting. During an August 21, 1993 conversation, in response to my questions, Parker stated that his Pegasus group had tape recordings of plans to assassinate Kennedy. I asked him "what group were these tapes identifying?" Parker replied: "Rockefeller, Allen Dulles, Johnson of Texas, George Bush, and J. Edgar Hoover." I asked, "What was the nature of the conversations on these tapes?" [emphasis added] I don't have the tapes now, because all the tape recordings were turned over to [Congressman] Larry McDonald. But I listened to the tape recordings and there were conversations between Rockefeller, [J. Edgar} Hoover, where Rockefeller asks, “Are we going to have any problems?” And he said, “No, we aren't going to have any problems. I checked with Dulles. Lf they do their job we'll do our job.” There are a whole bunch of tapes, because Hoover didn't realize that his phone has been tapped. Parker had earlier stated to me that he turned over a full box of files and tapes, documentation, and micro-fiche, for the Pegasus Caribbean operation, to Congressman McDonald, shortly before the Congressman boarded the ill-fated Korean Airlines Flight 007 that was shot down by the Russians. The November 1993 issue of Penthouse magazine had an in-depth article on Parker, in which federal agents sought to frame Parker and charge him with money-laundering. Parker had recognized one of the agents, and converted the Justice Department's scheme into a reverse-sting operation against them, using the techniques taught to him by the CIA. The government agents lost tens of thousands of dollars, not knowing that they had been recognized by Parker and were being taken. Justice Department prosecutors were unaware of what had occurred, and charged Parker with money laundering. These federal charges were later dropped (in mid-1993) when Parker produced evidence that he was a member of the Office of Naval Intelligence and the CIA. One last little tidbit, from an online article by Jim Hougan, about the Yeoman Charles Radford and Admiral Thomas Moorer spy affair that was happening during Nixon’s presidency: According to Radford, whom I interviewed many years ago, his “superiors” believed that Kissinger’s foreign policy was “catastrophic” by design. His own espionage activities, Radford insisted, were intended to defeat a conspiracy conceived by “the Rockefeller family” and orchestrated by the Council on Foreign Relations. The purpose of this supposed conspiracy, according to Radford, was to win the Soviets’ cooperation in guaranteeing the Rockefellers’ “continued domination” over the world’s currencies. In return for this, Nixon and Kissinger were to construct a foreign policy that would ensure Soviet hegemony and a one-world government.
  22. http://thegovernmentrag.wordpress.com/2010/11/27/watergate-exposed-set-up-of-president-nixon-assasinations-cover-ups-and-grand-jury-corruption/ "Two weeks prior to the Watergate break-in on June 1, 1972, Merritt was given confidential information by James Reed aka Rita, a drag queen friend of Merritt and operator for a telephone switchboard, who listened in on telephone calls and overheard people who identified themselves as “The Crimson Rose.” These conversations revealed that Watergate was going to take place. Merritt then tipped off Detective Shoffler with the information. Instead of preventing the break in, Shoffler decided to bring in Intelligence and set-up the burglars by sending them in a second time to get an envelope with a key to a safe deposit box that contained confidential information. Shoffler’s intention was to gain fame as the “officer that arrested the burglars” and get rid of President Nixon using a method of wiretap triangulation that he had learned from his prior training at the National Security Agency’s Vint Hill Farm Station in Virginia. Originally the break-in was planned for June 18th but Shoffler sent a message across to the Watergate burglars who were tapping the DNC’s phones that led the burglars to believe that there was something in there so important that it could not be left behind. The date was changed from the 18th to the 17th – which was also Shoffler’s birthday. He wasn’t scheduled to work that shift but he took on another shift and was parked a block away in a police car when the call came in reporting the burglary resulting in the immediate arrests." It almost sounds as though Crimson Rose was a continuation of the Moorer-Radford operation.
  23. What did Shoffler mean by triangulation wiretapping?
  24. A word of wisdom for Dennis J. McCarten, Esq.,: Don't expect much of a fee from this case, Dennis. Any claim by Mr. Drago for breach of his copyright belongs in SMALL CLAIMS COURT! According to http://www.valleybreeze.com/Free/CUM-violin-guy Dennis left the practice of law years ago and now makes violins. Maybe he could play one while CD tells his sad tale to the small claims court.
  25. The attorney appears to be retired and now makes violins. http://www.valleybreeze.com/Free/CUM-violin-guy I doubt he would go to trial on Drago's behalf.
