At the time at FBI, "Follow Mr. Hoover's orders" may have superseded "Don't embarrass the Bureau," at least for a select few.

Off-topic curiosity: Where did the Moorman photo without the thumbprint come from?

It seems like the motor cop is staring at walkie-talkie man, too. If that's what he's got in his hand. What's up in these Cancellare photos soon after? Two cops, no questions for walkie-talkie? https://www.jfkassassinationgallery.com/displayimage.php?album=33&pos=4 https://www.jfkassassinationgallery.com/displayimage.php?album=33&pos=5

A better probing of the Hersh paradoxes than I would have expected.

DiMaggio barred Frank Sinatra from Monroe's funeral, which is as good as saying he barred Giancana.

This is possibly some genius's spin-off of the earlier BS that supposedly dead or out-of-the limelight politicians and celebrities have been given plastic surgery and acting lessons so they could have second careers (e. g., JFK survived to return as...Jimmy Carter). That's still kicking around the internet, but never became as successful as this superhero-subterfuge version with pronounced Hollywood influences. Here's a pertinent thought, though, from a Twitter user, quoted on Slate.com: Jordan Weissmann ✔@JHWeissmann The frightening thing about QAnon isn't that a bunch of Americans believe in a looney conspiracy theory (what else is new). It's that they're waiting for Donald Trump to arrest his entire political opposition. These people are ready for military rule. 9:30 AM - Aug 1, 2018 11K 3,787 people are talking about this

Pardon my earlier indelicacy. There was something about DVP's post that irked me.

John Abt was chief counsel to the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA). Whittaker Chambers identified Abt as a political associate of Alger Hiss in Chambers' HUAC testimony. Didn't the Dallas PD or Henry Wade (or someone from his office) tell the TV newsmen that Oswald had requested John Abt to represent him? If Oswald actually made the request, it might have been a signal to his handlers that he was still willing to play ball and impersonate "Lefty Lee" to incriminate communists in general, and Castro in particular.

The Dallas JFK memorial looks like a monument to stonewalling. It has that Lego-dots motif to show you how it clicks into other bricks in the wall.

Any circumstantial evidence of Phillips' personal involvement with Oswald in his book treatment, The AMLASH Legacy?

Paddy Chayefsky (Network) wrote Altered States. It's pretty smart if you listen. I watched Disney's Davy Crockett on DVD a couple years ago. The good parts were as good as remembered from childhood, the bad parts were worse.

I have to double-check, but I believe that timeline is from the back matter of Dick Russell's book on Richard Case Nagell, The Man Who Knew Too Much. I think Russell has a short chapter on Dinkin in the second edition. Later I'll see what Russell's source is for the October 22 1963 letter from Dinkin to RFK and report back.

I haven't found time to watch the whole video, but aren't several of new revelations Korth finds in the Trump-released documents just restatements of information available through previous research? Just in the first ten minutes: Jack Ruby's "fireworks"; Eugene Braden's criminal record; Eugene Dinkin. For a guy who claims to not want to write any more books on the JFKA, this guy keeps churning them out fast and p*mping them hard. Does Korth really start this video with James Files and his all-star crew of assassins (he left out Ed Sullivan), and let Files' tale pass without later comment?

I couldn't find the Debra Conway article Steve cited, but then I did, so I deleted my help request.

Delete, thanks

‘It is not satisfactory,” Ford replied according to Giscard. “We first concluded that it was not an isolated crime, it was something organized. We were sure that it was organized. But we were unable to find out by who it was organized’ Giscard told the same story to Le Parisienmagazine in 2013. He said Ford told him, “We came to the conclusion that this assassination had been prepared. There was a conspiracy. But we were not able to identify which organization had sponsored it. ” + + + I wonder about an assertion like Ford's You would think this implies that some investigation was made by the FBI and a preliminary conclusion for conspiracy reached by the WC, but then abandoned, with the investigation and conclusions subsequently taking their familiar lone-nut course. But what if the "organizations" suspected were just the usual pro-Castro suspects, and their investigation was dropped for political reasons? Ford may be just blowing smoke and saying nothing in his remarks, and we don't see it because we're not accustomed to subtlety in the man.

Aren't they making money on that plethora of sources? Why would they sacrifice tales of the Reptillians and the Greys (Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, respectively, I think) just to foster approved disinfo?

Nice plaid, very 1963. Looks all Hart, Schaffner & Marx.

David said: Who among us didn't want to see Pastor Tim get it in the neck? Hmmm,........ Can't say I did David. I didn't really even see that as a possibility.............But I could see some guy having a male fantasy where every potential antagonist to the Jennings family could be seen as dead meat for our bloodthirsty, little, psycho killing Marxist wife! ---------So that's cool man!😃 +++ Oh, please, man - Pastor Tim wormed his way into the family's life; brainwashed the daughter into confessing that her parents were spies; and by the end of his storyline had the daughter spying on him before the Jenningses got him mercifully deported to South America by a Soviet-connected missionary society. And through all that it was actually Phillip Jennings who hated and distrusted him the most - the father, not the mother. Despite humane regrets, Phillip killed people for less. Inherent in the idea that they let him go is the idea that it could have gone the other way. It was good soap opera writing to let Pastor Tim escape with his life; it was great TV writing to have him not rat the family out to Stan in the end. I applaud both moves, though my prime reason for wanting Pastor Tim to get it in the neck is that he took up so much valuable story time. It seemed like the writers were setting the character up for killing in the same way the writers on The Sopranos gave long arcs to annoying characters who would finally get whacked, giving macabre satisfaction and relief to the audience that had to put up with them. In Pastor Tim's case, the setup seemed to go on at least a season too long - but the double payoff was great. As for Keri Russell's character - it was plain by season 6 that she didn't require my beneficence in the least.

CBS had considerable reservations about Hogan's Heroes and almost kept it off the air - but it became a hit. As Newkirk would say, "It sayeth in the Good Book, 'There is a time to mourn, and a time to taketh the p*ss.' "

I'm not sure if I shouldn't congratulate them for so diligently keeping up the look of an NBC drama during the Reagan years. I was impressed by the good work among all the actors, playing whatever nationality. (Spoilers Ahead) It had this for it: Who among us didn't want to see Pastor Tim get it in the neck? (He didn't) Who didn't want to see Keri Russell deliver a beatdown to Margo Martindale's character? (She did.) And then Pastor Tim refused to rat the family out -- above average plotting for TV that atoned for many sins. What the daughter did in the end, and how the couple shrugged it off, was also story gold.

Every time this Unz, or his ghostwriter, introduces the never before trope ("Never before had I believed in assassination conspiracy"; "Never before had I had any interest in 20th-century history"), something tendentious and agenda-driven is about to become his topic. Reader, beware of writers with favorite tricks.

I dunno, I thought The Americans was pretty even-handed, and indicted America for several evils from an imagined Soviet point-of-view. If anything, I thought it soft-pedaled many ills of the Soviet system, though it also ignored some elephants in our room, notably the Contra war. It was a TV show - it used selective history to make dramatic points. The worst thing about it was the old-hat staging, camera framing and editing that made it look like a 1980s network TV show - a mimetic fallacy that had me expecting to see the NBC peacock logo pop up at the corner of the screen every 15 minutes.

With the truth serum and polygraph requests, he seems to want to be "forced" to tell the truth under circumstances that he cannot be blamed for. But no one wanted any serious interrogation of Jack Ruby. Was he still on Preludin, or would he have been weaned off during the months he was in jail before Warren's visit?
