  2. i take it that this window as i have not seen robert's study. i will find it, and do so, that it is not near the window that your research shows could have a positioned shooter in the dal tex. imo when you call someone's theory stupid or whatever derogatory name,that means the same, as it is theirs no one elses..so to call their theory such, seeing it is their work, it applys to them as well....but on todays forums, what you say may be a new meaning in the research, There is so much of it, that it simply puts some off, to the point where they do not visit any longer, and many an author really has been chased away, i just was in touch with one, when i mentioned visiting a forum, the reply was no way as he has in the past, and simply becomes a target, so at times we all are our own worse enemies, as we cannot simply be cordial when we differ with anothers work,it is now apparent that any ctrs work is fair game first and foremost, so i think we many, at times cut our noses off to spite our faces, then wonder where people have gone...thanks for the reply, take care, to each their own, carry on...b ps i am quite sure this is one of yours, i will come and have a study of robert's work also...

  3. The full sequence.

    This film, shot on November 23rd 1963, destroys Robert Harris's stupid theory of an asassassin breaking out a window, and then shooting from that location.

    Zooming in on the 3rd floor window which appears to be unbroken and completely intact.

    I agree. I am not a believer in the Dal Tex 3rd floor broken out window theory. I don't see any broken windows, that is why. However, some one could have very well been shooting from ELSEWHERE in the Dal-Tex building.

    i may be in error, but i am thinking the broken window pane report in the dal tex was first reported in SSID, and that is where the idea originated, but i as well do not think anyones opinion is stupid as i do not think your black lady and child are bdogm but i do not and have not call that stupid as that is your opinion Duncan to which you have a right to. but that should include everyone elses, and i believe that right should include not to be called names by you in regard to theirs.......b:blink: :(

  5. "You tell Noel Twyman for me that his book is the best thing I ever read on the assassination." James Siebert (sic), FBI agent who witnessed the autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital, as reported by William Matson Law in his book, The Eye of History

    Of course William Law's book is about the medical evidence. That is the scope of his interviews with Sibert.

    After I returned home from Florida, I sent Mr. Sibert a copy of Noel Twyman's book Bloody Treason...as a token of thanks for granting us the opportunity to interview him.

    Twyman's book brings to the fore questions concerning the shipping casket versus the ornate display casket, body alteration, the forged X-ray and autopsy photos, etc.

    Weeks later I called Jim, or Si as I now think of him, to see how he liked the book. "You tell Noel Twyman for me that his book is the best thing I've ever read on the assassination."

    James W Sibert, it seems, is a True Believer. (In The Eye of History, page 288)

    hi michael ; i agree both books are treasures, a Word as it appears to me that those who have and do enjoy law's book appear to forget the other name on the front of the book, that of allan eaglesham whom was a big part of it, fyi..take care....best b

    "E. Howard Hunt's Missing Report on the Kennedy Assassination"

    Nixon: "...well, we protected Helms from one hell of a lot of things."

    Haldeman: "That's what Ehlichman says."

    Nixon: "Of course, this Hunt, that will uncover a lot of things. You open that scab there's a hell of a lot of things...This involves these

    Cubans, Hunt and a lot of hanky-panky..."

    Nixon: "...just say (unintelligible) very bad to have this fellow Hunt, as he knows too damned much, if he was involved - you happen to know

    that? If it gets out that this is all involved, the Cuba thing, it

    would be a fiasco. It would make the CIA look bad, it's going to

    make Hunt look bad, and it is likely to blow the whole Bay of Pigs

    thing which we think would be very unfornuate - both for the CIA and

    for the country..."

    Thus spoke President Richard Nixon in a taped conversation with HR Haldeman on June 23, 1972 - one of the earliest Watergate cover-up discussions. It was the release of the transcripts of those mysterious June 23rd Nixon/Haldeman discussions, on August 4, 1974, that led to Nixon's forced resignation four days later. In these June 23rd transcripts, the long awaited "smoking gun" had finally been found.

    Yet, nearly two years after its release, the June 23rd tape is still the subject of intense mystery. It is on course clear that the tape showed Nixon criminally instructing Haldeman to have CIA Director Richard Helms use his Agency to impede - or quash - any further FBI investigative work into the five burglars captured during the Watergate break-in, and their financing of the burglary.

    But beyond that, the questions still remain: what exactly were Nixon and Haldeman talking about? What was this mysterious business about protecting Helms, and about Hunt knowing "too damn much" about "the Cuban thing," that could "blow at anytime, if not handled the right way?

    The city of Washington's extensive corps of veteran Watergate investigators - in the press, Senate and House, Justice Department, and elsewhere - still avidly ponder the meaning, or hidden meaning, of those strange Oval Office conversations on June 23rd. Among the people who might be expected to know something about it, the June 23rd tape is also seemingly a mystery - at least the way they tell it.

    The Watergate Special Prosecutors say they have no idea what it is that Nixon and Haldeman were referring to in their mysterious conversation. Richard Helms had said (not too convincingly of course) that it is preposterous to think that Nixon and Haldeman had ever had to "protect" him from anything. HR Haldeman had said that he doesn't remember what it was that they were protecting Helms from - nor does he remember what "the Cuban thing" was or Hunt's apparent knowledge of it. Haldeman further suggests that John Ehrlichman probablyu knows more about it all. John Ehrlichman says he doesn't, though in his new "political novel" he writes about a President (not unlike Nixon) who blackmails a CIA Director (not unlike Helms) over a secret CIA Inspector General's report about CIA-connected assassination plotting.

    John Dean has stated that he doesn't know what Nixon and Haldeman were referring to in their June 23rd conversations, and wouldn't hazard a guess. E Howard Hunt won't discuss the matter in any detail, and stands by his claim that he never threatened or blackmailed the Nixon gang at anytime.

    Recently, Richard Nixon himself, in a carefully worded written response to the Church Committee's imquiries about the June 23rd tape, provided the most novel explanation to date. In his reply in ealy March, Nixon told the Senate committee that what he had "protected Helms" from was, believe it or not, author Victor Marchetti. Nixon stated that he had protected Helms by supporting the CIA's court battles to delete various information from author Marchetti's definitive book on the CIA. A Church committee staffer, in dismissing the ex-President's written response as "vintage Nixon," recently replied, "yeah and he also goes on to tell how he never had the CIA do much in Chile either."

    Also in March, in a long interview with Charles Colson for Argosy magazine, Village Voice reporter Dick Russell asked the former Nixon counsel what he knew about the Nixon/Haldeman June 23rd tape. Russell, referring to the mysterious Nixon references to Richard Helms, and Howard Hunt knowing "too damned much" about "The Cuban thing," asked Colson, "could it have had something to do with the Kennedy assassination?" In response, Colson answered, "I doubt it. I really do. I don't think Hunt had anything to do with that."

    E Howard Hunt may not have "had anything to do with that," as Colson said, but information which has only recently become available indicates that Hunt was, at the very least, quite interested in - and concerned about - the assassination of President Kennedy. This new information further indicates that a secret report about certain aspects of the Kennedy assassination (aspects particularly related to Cuba and Fidel Castro) was prepared by Hunt and his future Watergate burglar associates - nad was in fact circulated to Charles Colson and the Nixon circle as well as officials with the CIA.

    As will be seen from this information, and other long obscure Watergate data, a picture seems to be emerging which places the secret Hunt report on the Kennedy assassination at the heart of the feverish cover-up activities of the Nixon circle in the immediate days following the Watergate break-in of June 17th. Beyond that, as will be shown, it appears that several mysterious pieces of information regarding the Kennedy assassination may well have been a central topic of the earliest Watergate cover-up discussions held by Nixon and his men - taped discussions that were premeated not only by the strange references to Hunt, Helms, and "the Cuba thing," but also by variuous "gaps," of which the 18-minute erasure is the best known.

    Watergate and the Kennedy assassination: the former, the most sinister and comprehensive conspiracy in the history of the American government; the latter, what a large majority of Americans believe is also a comprehensive and even more frightening conspiracy. (The recent CBS poll put the number at 65% nationwide). That the public at large (and a slowly growing number of legitimate investigators) still speculate about the possibility of some "connection" between the two most tragic and frightening events of recent time is perhaps inevitable.

    American are of course increasingly conspiracy-minded, perhaps as they should be. Afer all, the disclosure last year by Seymour Hersh, of the Mafia and CIA's own special brand of brotherhood - complete with secret assassination conspiracies nt he early 1960's against Castro - is only just beginning to fade from dinner table conversation across the nation. Yet, the idea of some connection or relationship between the Watergate mystery and the circumstances of the Kennedy assassination does indeed seem somewhat far out. And, as is well know, the whole idea received a good deal of lumps last year, as a set of photographs circulate through the "underground press" that purported to show E Hoard Hunt and his Watergate burglar associate Frank Sturgis, disguised as hobos, at the scene of the Dallas assassination shortly after the fatal shots were fired. The Rockefeller CIA Commission went to the trouble of analyzing the photographs to show that the hobos earlobes, eyelids, cheekbones, etc., were not matchable with Hunt and Sturgis.

    Still, at the same time, various bits and pieces of information - some samll, some not so small - remain. There is for instance the account by former New York Times reporter Tad Szulc, reagrding where E Howard Hunt may have been in late 1963. Szulc, who has written the only detailed biography of Hunt, COMPULIVE SPY, states that Hunt served as Acting Chief of Station for the CIA in Mexico City in August and September of 1963.

    What makes the information interesting is that Lee Oswald made a still mysterious trip to Mexico City during that same period: September 1963. While there, the CIA conducted various surveillances of him, according to CIA documents reluctantl turned over to the warren Commission in 1964, portions of which have only been released to the public in recent weeks. The CIA Station there photographed a man they identified as Lee Oswald, coming out of a Communist Embassy - and subsequently was forced to admit that it was not Oswald shown in the photograph. The CIA said they had somehow made a mistake with the photograph, though no final explanation of the misidentification has ever been arrived at. While the CIA was never able (or, according to several Warren Commission staffers, willing) to explain this case of mistaken identity pertaining to Oswald, many Warren Commission critics have seized upon the mysterious episode as evidence that Oswald (or an imposter) was involved in a conspiracy in Mexico City, with possible links to the CIA. Interesting enough, E Howard Hunt himself, in a brief account in his 1974 autobiography UNDERCOVER, disclosed that the CIA did in fact use Dallas as a "backstop" location for changing the identities of CIA agents operatin in Mexico CIty. Hunt told of a CIA break-in at a Communist Embassy which he had coordinated during on eof his tours of duty in Mexico City. Hunt, whose personal handling of other burglary teams would later become only too well known, wrote that , "Before dawn the entry team had flown from Mexico to Dallas, where they changed identities and flew to Washington."

    Also, last year, the New York Times disclosed that Lee Oswald had secretly been tape recorded by CIA phone taps when he placed calls to the Cuabn and Russian Embassies during his visit to Mexico City. What the exact subject of the Oswald calls was, and whether the CIA still retains the actual tapes (which were withheld from the Warren Commission) is not known. The CIA refuses to comment on the matter, as it does on all other matters relating to the Kennedy assassination.

    In any event, if Tad SZulc's information is correct, it would seem pretty certain that Acting Station Chief E Hoard Hunt would have been charge of - or certainly aware of - this CIA survielllance of Oswald in Mexico City. Hunt presumably also would have been privy to the CIA's files on (and conclusions about) the alleged Presidential assassin, much of which have still never been declassified and disclosed. (Much of this classified CIA material on Oswald is to remain sealed in a vault in the National Archives until the year 2039, seventy five years after the assassination. A House subcommittee is currently reviewing the circumstances of this unusual classification of documents).

    Both Hunt and the CIa have denied Szulc's information about Hunt's alleged presence as Acting Station Chief in Mexico City during the Oswald visit. Hunt maintains that while he worked for the CIA in Mexico City on at least two occasions (including during the planning of the Bay of Pigs) he awas never there at anytime in 1963. While Hunt's CIA personnel records and registeries would seemingly shed light on this matter - as well as many others concerning his activities - the Hunt CIA records were completely withheld from the Ervin Watergate Committee in January 1974, and have also in large part been withheld from the Church Senate Intelligence Committee. A Justice Department official who once was denied access to a partial set of requested Hunt CIA records, has remarked, "They treat those Hunt files like they were the Hope Diamond. It's just incredible."

    Getting back to the concept or theory of some kind of Kennedy assassination/Watergate connection, it can be said that there are some surface similarities. The alleged Kennedy assassination conspiracy obviously would have had a central purpose of killing Kennedy physically. The Watergate conspiracy had as one of its central purposes, killing a Kennedy politically. The JFK plot (if it was a plot) was aimed at criminally controlling who would be President - by removing John Kennedy from the White House. The Watergate plot in large part was also aimed at criminally controlling who would be President - by removing Edward Kennedy (and subsequently Edmund Muskie) from serious contention as Nixon's 1972 opponent. That Ted Kennedy, and Kennedy associates such as Larry O'Brien, were in fact viewed by Nixon circle as the prime targets for illegal surveillance, smear, and sabotage, is of course clear. The Nixon circle's obession over a Kennedy candidacy - "the Kennedy threat" as Nixon called it - is only twoo well know. Senate probers, including some who have worked for Senator Kennedy himself, still look back at the lengths to which the Nixon men were prepared to go to "stop Teddy Kennedy." At one point in June of 1971, apparently on the direct orders of Richard Nixon himself, HR Haldeman authorized John Caulfield and Tony Ulasewicz (the crude forerunners of the White House Plumbers) to conduct 24 hours round-the-clock surveillance of Senator Kennedy's movements. According to the Ervin Committee's inquiry into the matter, Nixon and Haldeman's orders to put a tail on Kennedy hit a snag when Caulfield voiced his opposition to the plan. Caulfield cautioned his White House superiors that "someone might get shot" if Kennedy found out and notified the Secret Service that someone was mysteriously following him around. In another instance, which Ervin investigators only stumbled upon while poring over Ulzaewicz's travel vouchers, it was determined that one Caulfield-Ulasewicz "assignment" had even centered upon probing the circumstances of the death of Rose Kennedy's social secretary.

    Such obessive suspicion about the Kennedy family, while largely fueled by Nixon himself, received major input from dirty tricks chieftain Charles Colson. After one anti-Nixon speech given by Ted Kennedy, a characteristically enraged Colson told associaes that he "might physically attack Kennedy" if they were in the same room together.

    The fear of losing, particularly losing to another Kennedy, has been cited by sich disparate figures as Anthony Lucas, HR Haldeman, Norman Mailer, and William Safire as the single most definable Nixon trait that led (perhaps inexorably) to Watergate. Nixon having to defeat another Kennedy: it had about it such an awful sense of deja vu.

    To those who study the two events, there must also sometimes seem a sense of deja vu to Watergate and the Kennedy assassination. As many of the Warren Commission critics saw it, the JFK assassination was quite a bit more than met the eye: the apprehended Oswald could not have acted alone or without guidance, there must be higher-ups involved, there were mysterious footprints all around, leading to an odd assortment of Cubans as well as shadowy ex-FBI and ex-CIA characters - with intrigue in Texas and Mexico figuring prominently somewhere within. Beyond that, an awesome federal cover-up, with the CIA being pressured to conceal the plot's true dimensions and the FBI withholding evidence of a wider conspiracy (with J Edgar Hoover even apparantly authorizing the destruction of a secret letter by Lee Oswald himself).

    And the Watergate, the proven conspiracy: the apprehended burglars could not have acted alone or without guidance, there must be higher-ups involved, there were mysterious footprints all around, leading to another odd assorment of Cuabns as well as shadowy ex-FBI and ex-CIA characters - with some Texans laundering of the break-in funds through Mexico figuring prominently somwhere within. Beyond that, an awesome federal cover-up, with the CIA being pressured to conceal the plot's true dimensions and the FBI withholding evidence of a wider cnspiarcy (with L Patrick Gray destroying secret files taken from the vault of E Howard Hunt himself).

    In tracing the genesis of a possible connection between Watergate and aspects of the Kennedy assassination, the period immediately following the Watergate break-in is crucial, for it is there that the story begins to take shape.

    The Watergat cover-up was only just being born as John Ehrlichman conferred with White House consel John W Dean on June 19, 1972, the second day following the capture of the five Watergate burglars. With Nixon and Haldeman still Key Biscayne following a secluded weekend in the Bahamas, and with John Mitchell and his top CREEP aides ensconced in the Beverly Hilton out in Los Angeles, there was considerable work to be done back at the White House. All the White House panic buttons were being hit by all the President's men.

    Ehrlichman had phone Dean early on the 19th to check out the exact details regarding E Howard Hunt's service as a White House consultant. The FBI at this point was already hot on the trail of the mysterious Mr Hunt, due to the fact that Hunt's name and WHite House phone number were contained in both of the address books of burglars Baker and Martinez. In response to Ehrlichman's urgent call regarding Hunt, Dean in turn called Charles Colson, the President's Special Counsel, who had brouhgt E Howard Hunt to the White House. Colson informed Dean that hUnt had indeed been a "consultant" on Colson's notorious White House payroll. Dean states that although Colson confirmed Hunt's links to the White House, Colson "vehemently protested that he (Colson) knew nothing and had no involvement in the matter whatsoever."

    Then, according to Dean, Colson mentioned somehting strange. According to Dean, "Colson also expressed concern over the contents of Hunt's safe."

    And here the long murky story begins. White House consultant E Howard Hunt maintained a secret safe in his office in the Old Executive Office Building - Room 338. When the Hunt safe was eventually opened later that same afternoon of June 19th (following a joint decision by Colson, Dean, and Ehrichlman to have Secret Service and GSA personnel drill through its steel plate) several things became readily apparent. Perhaps first among these things was that the fledgling Watergate cover-up would soon - quite soon - have to substantially expand.

    For in that safe were a number of things. A gun. A holster. And a blip of live ammunition. Of vastly more importance, however, was yet another clip of ammunition - in the form of various papers and classified files from Hunt's secretwork with the White House Plumbers. In addition to secret material relating to the Plumbers investigaiton of Daniel Ellsberg and various Hunt paper relating to his investigation of Chappaquiddick, were some forged State Department cables which Hunt himself had personally fabricated during a Plumbers probe into the circumstances of the 1963 assassination of President Diem of South Vietnam.

    Now the story begins to move furhter. Information which has only recently come to light indicates that in addition to that last item about the Diem murder, the secret Hunt safe also contained information resulting from yet another Plumbers probe - into some of the circumstances of another 1963 assassination - the assassination of President Kennedy.

    The story has obviously been a long time in coming. The first hint came in a little noticed NBC interview with Watergate burlgar Bernard Baker, pu together in April of 1974 by Robert Rogers and Edwin Newman. Barker told of a secret assignment that he and fellow Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis had conducted for their important White House friend and patron, Mr Hunt. Unfortunately, Barker garbled a key point in the interview, mistakenly referring to "the death of Bobby Kennedy" rather than the death of John Kennedy, which was the actual subject of this Barker/Sturgis assignment for Hunt.

    Barker's April 1974 account:

    ROGER (NBC): And in Miami we learned that Hunt and Barker conducted at least one interview - the results of which supposedly went to the

    Central Intelligence Agency.

    BARKER:Mr Sturgis said to me that he had some informationabotu some lady that had been at the home of the Castro family at the tm eof

    the death of Bobby Kennedy and that she was telling some very

    strange stpries, or very interesting stories, as he put it. I spoke

    to the lady in Spanish and brought - took her - to Mr Hunt. Mr Hunt

    personally examined her, in the sense that he questioned her, and he

    took it down on tapes. Mr Hunt told me that he would be truing this

    information over the old agency.

    ROGERS: Were there any other operations of this sort going on?

    BARKER: Not that I can remember.

    ROGERS: Would you tell me if you could?

    BARKER: That's a good question.

    With the Ervin Commmittee then preparing to close up shop, Senate investigators never had the chance to follow up on Barker's story, intriguing as it was. There were several signigicant points to theC:\Users\Bernice\Documents\PHOTOS\Section 2\Hunt E.Howard\E.Howard Hunt's Missing Report..Sturgis.htm
