You know Jim, every single time I re-read Fonzi's book, my stomach literally turns when the time comes for Sprague's exit....I absolutely dread that aspect of Fonzi's amazing work...This is incredible documentation. Now its time to roll up our sleeves. Thanks for the work Jim H.

Very interesting David, thanks (and no worries)! I remember an audio Simpich did with Giglio/Our Hidden History (I believe it was there or either Chuck Ochelli) where he mentions how embarrassing he believed it would be for Mexico to reveal how much they were used by the US around that time, thus causing no motivation whatsoever for the Mexican Govt. to release anything sensitive....It is absolutely frustrating this case.... Oh and Dave I also wanted to ask, is your Mexico City study (The Evidence Is The Conspiracy) available as a .pdf?

Larry, just your personal opinion (or observation), but do you believe the Mexican Govt. has (or had) important documentation related to MC circa 1963?

Thanks for those docs David. Sigh...the history and facts inside of De Torres’ head....can you imagine.

Not sure if it is appropriate for me to “bump” this thread but I was very intrigued by Simpich’s suspicions about Feeney and his potential being an important element concerning the shenanigans at Bethesda...I’d love to know more about his whereabouts and actions leading up to, during and right after 11/22/63. From Simpich’s “State Secret”: (source: https://www.maryferrell.org/pages/State_Secret_Conclusion.html)

Tommy certainly has a way with words I tell you....great to see more of your thinking and fleshing out around here Bill.

*Bump, David Morales always...always motivates me to think of minorities in the agency at the time and what they felt about JFK and the agency's "upper class" (ex. Harvey's dislike for some of the Ivy league officers) or any discrimination experienced by such individuals. I also wonder who were the first minority officers in the Agency (first African American CIA officer for example). Do we know Morales' or Harvey's whereabouts at (or even around) the time RFK was murdered? Concerning talk of a scar on Morales’ eye or above it, according to this document: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=23180#relPageId=9&tab=page It says he has no scars but a birthmark on the left side of his waist. I guess it would depend on when he got said scar and the time the above personal history statement was written. I must also admit that I found it...well very interesting that on this page: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=23180#relPageId=18&tab=page ...that we see “Child Guidance” under “any qualifications, as a result of training or experience, which might fit you for a particular position” lol, not that I don’t believe he was capable of child guidance (he was a father himself and wanted to be a teacher if I’m not mistaken?) but it’s ironic I guess.

I don't see why not Jim. I mean I'm sure an intelligent discussion is possible.

That’s great to know and thanks.

Oh I have them all archived Jim :). Also, will your JFK: Evidence Today get an audiobook version? If I asked this before, my apologies. Please say yes.

I want to see if this topic gets derailed into a kindergarten styled battle royale instead of consistent evidence and rationality without attacks, sarcasm, etc...

Hey there Dave and a humble thanks as always for your deep analysis. This’ll be a joy to peel through and reflect on.

Couldn't agree more although I need to contact Bill about why he never seemed mentioned Leo Setyaev. I mean Newman definitely does and I remember starting to read Simpich's fine work he'd mention it too but did not. I'm sure he had his reasons.

In any event this series needs to be put in the section as to what to avoid or be cautious of, in the JFK case. I remember growing up that I liked it because it was "the only game in town" on television but of course its....well...with all due respect, just bad. We need a new, stronger, evidentiary-based film or documentary for today's generation. Len was on an excellent track with his great 50 Reasons/50 Years series. Today's film could or would be broken down into segments for students and scholars alike, based clearly on hardcore evidence and documents and the painstaking research of others. What I'd give...

Well maybe you can reach Vincent Di Maio? http://www.fsc.texas.gov/profile/dr-vincent-jm-di-maio This is fascinating evidence if true. As with other discoveries it'll have to be scrutinized and carefully examined.

I remember seeing this documentary and being a bit shocked at Harvey's (possible?) involvement in Operation Gladio as well those that were involved with the entire Carcano episode from the Italian side...it motivated me to think what exactly Harvey was up to leading to the Assassination in Italy after being disgracefully sent there....great work and can't wait to learn more on this angle. Garrison was ahead of his time...

Its interesting...this whole "z-film alteration" I'm shocked some believe in wholesale alteration or fakery and I've never believed that personally but IF I were to lean in any direction of the film being altered or edited, I'd lean towards the belief that certain parts or frames were edited or taken out but I'm even reserved on that. I like to use the analogy of the film being a witness and being silenced or having her/his testimony changed lol....it happened to witnesses.....why not one of the biggest and most important witnesses there is? Of course this is just my thinking out loud on the subject...I also forget the guy at the JFK conference in Alexandria, VA who worked for Time? He had mentioned not remembering anything significant about the film other than the fact that in the film he saw, you could see JFK's motorcade literally turn from Houston onto Elm? I mean I'm not sure how accurate the guy is, etc, but it is what he said.

Has anything new surfaced regarding De Torres? I didn't want to create another topic so I thought I'd bump this one. I can't imagine that this guy would say absolutely anything today to any honest researcher if he's still alive.

That is absolutely disgusting. The Press Club of Dallas and Aynesworth should be ashamed of themselves.

Thanks a ton Mike. As I looked and looked at the film I've just always felt there were weird anomalies with the film such as what I described above. My thinking was that everything in the background, considering Zap. was slightly higher and in front of the bystanders (across the street), everything in the BG moved together, as if they are all on the same plane with no "3D" depth distinction but again, this is all my brain rambling on and on until I get the facts via research. I will take what Dave said and hold it to scrutiny. Thanks again for the frames. Question for anyone reading, has ANYONE EVER reenacted Zaps. filming? I mean has anyone ever pretended to be him and filmed cars going by with bystanders?

Ahh thanks Tommy.

Ahhhh ok....well this is what irritates me. This book just came into a local library....yet I see nothing from you, only 1 from Newman, etc. The libraries in an area I was visiting had hardly any good books. They did have Garrison's work, Conspiracy (1st Edition mind you, which is probably the better version?) but I'm in talks to get a nice slew of good books in. Would you mind sending me a PM of a more personal way to contact you? Please and thanks Jim and thanks for responding to my message. Unfortunately its what I figured....more historical mess.

Thanks Dave. Will process your response in relation to my question when I have more time for sure.

This is just terrible....

That I am not sure of. The Ernesto Miller bit I got from Simpich's being a guest of Alan Dale a few years ago. He talks about figuring out who the "blond Oswald" was. might have to hit the documents for that.
