David, That is a great collage. You are doing some fantastic work here lately; so thanks for all that. Not to divert the thread, but do you have any other blown up images from the corner of Main and Houston? Zach

Hi Steve, Thanks for checking back in. And thanks for all your contributions to the forum. They are most appreciated. There are many interesting things about Chicago and how it was connected to Dallas. I read a long time ago that in the photo that depicts the Joseph Milteer possible on the parade route, there is another man positioned down the street towards the corner of Main that was from Chicago and associated with Paulino Sierra. Could this be where Milteer gained foreknowledge of events to come? Perhaps someone out there has this mystery man's name and can post the photo in question. Zach

Hi Robert, Thanks for posting this interesting information. It is nice to see people like yourself doing some good work here. Do you have a copy of Fire in the Wind? I wonder if it is possible to post the excerpt of Chapelle being associated with Lansdale here? Robert Emmett Johnson was fascinated with Dickey Chapelle. Johnson wanted to go to Vietnam with her, but she would not have it. She encouraged him to retire from his soldier of fortune career, write a book [under his own name], and get a 'real job.' Johnson worked at an Ad Agency for a while but it did not take. After Chapelle died, he went back to the shadowy world of free lance merc work. Here are some pictures she took. The plan was to post these here months ago, but you know how it goes some times... http://www.wisconsin...yword1=chapelle A couple of my personal favorites: CIA Truck observes Comandos "L" meeting Top echelon Comandos "L" meeting - Tony Cuesta is seen in the center with the red shirt [is the man on the left his case officer?] Zach

Hi Steve, That is the most interesting chapter in the book. Indio is referred to as David Sanchez, a high ranking CIA officer who wanted revenge on JFK for the Bay of Pigs fiasco. "Ramon," Swearingen's contact in the Cuban exile community also described how 'political jerks' from different major cities that JFK could travel to were being handled and how one of them would eventually take the fall for the assassination. Most curious indeed. Zach

Justin Joseph "Steve" Wilson was a indeed real person and actually died on Aug. 15, 1985 in Dade County. Purely as a curiousity, here is an image of Ed Gum [second from left], USMC Marine Recon from 2009 in Bokeelia, FL. Zach

Here is an excerpt of a nice ESPN Outside the Lines article about the politics of Miami. Eugenio Martinez is interviewed as quoted below. Here is the link for the full article via our own Mike Hogan: http://espn.go.com/e...ange-play-miami Zach

Great stuff Tom, More than $4 million in drug money went through Nugan Hand between 1974-1980 making them the paymasters of the CIA around the world. Here are a couple nice videos; the first one has been posted before here at the Forum, but I think it is appropriate to re-post it here. Nugan Hand CBS Report http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VGgjM-SVOU Partying At The Nugan Hand Bank And The Misadventures In The Pacific Fascinating stuff for sure. Zach

Hi Bill, I always thought that was just a joke, but I did find this book that mentions it: Golf List Mania! There is no source for the claim that the President was golfing the day of the Bay of Pigs invasion, and if there were, I'd bet it was the Seinfeld Bottle Deposit episode. JFK did indeed golf 8 times in his first 6 months in office, but I personally doubt he did on the day in question. He was very self conscious about being seen on a golf course, much less being photographed. I suppose the only way to verify this is to contact the JFK Library. Zach

Thanks Greg, Best 30 min. show that has ever been on network TV, in my opinion. Co-creator Larry David was and is a big Kennedy fan and there are numerous references to the clan during the 9 season run. Two of my favorites are when Mr. Pitt is gearing up to play Ethel Kennedy in a tennis match and later when J. Peterman buys JFK's golf clubs [as seen in the famous photograph of the president chipping at Burning Tree on the morning of the Bay of Pigs invasion] via auction and then they are subsequently stolen by Jerry’s mechanic. Zach

I was also wondering about this one. Is the 1977 [sat. Sept. 17] USC debate,"Conspiracy in the Sixties: Who Was to Blame?" between Mr. Lane and David Atlee Phillips available anywhere? I have been looking for it in any form - film, audio, transcript - for some time now, with no luck. Any help at all would be appreciated. Zach

It has been brought to my attention that the rest of the article on John Adrian O’Hare from the March 22, 1984 [Vol. VIII No. 8] of Penn Jones’ The Continuing Inquiry has been made available online at Baylor: http://digitalcollections.baylor.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/po-jones/id/1580 It runs from pages 2-5 of the issue. It is a well written, accurate article that deserves some attention. The article was penned by a “Fred Williams,” which is a pseudonym. Does anyone know who that really is? Did “Fred Williams” write any other articles for Penn Jones? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Zach

Here are the links to Larry's blog. There are some great recent comments in there as well. I also posted pictures of Varone, Artime and January on the second page in my above link some time ago. Red Bird Leads Red Bird cont. Red Bird and Oswald Larry, Great work on the blog; I always look forward to reading new entries. Zach

The Pegaus thing is all very fascinating. I believe Ross Perot delved into it and the Republican Dirty Tricks at the following press conference: Video and Transcript

Hi Bill, Here is one old thread on Red Bird: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=6091 Keep up the good work, Zach

Thanks Robert, I'm still waiting for Gary Shaw's stuff on Bishop to be uploaded at Baylor. O'Hare and Bishop were two different people. O'Hare escaped to Africa and hooked up with Mike Hoare and his people there. Interesting misdirection originating from Fensterwald though. Zach

Robert, Great stuff. I believe that is the man in question. Without any further investigating as of yet, I'm assuming that the Find a Grave people made an error and that his death was indeed in 1992. I've had such problems with Find a Grave in the past. Zach

Tommy, I don't think there is anything more to that file other than the picture and the TV transcript from 1983. However, like I said, the Weisberg archive can be difficult to navigate (for me anyway) so I'm not totally sure. Any thoughts on the One Hour TV Special? http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/M%20Disk/Morrow%20Robert%20D/Item%2010.pdf There has to be a copy of that somewhere... Thanks, Zach

Good work Tom, Davis is pretty interesting. I think this 1983 TV interview could be somewhat important; it would be nice to at least find it. In my opinion, finding anything on Col. William Bishop is well worth the time invested. Here is another file on Bishop at Hood: http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/M%20Disk/Morrow%20Robert%20D/Item%2024.pdf The Weisberg Archive is great but it can be difficult to navigate at times. Thanks, Zach

Hi Tom, Nice find. Is this the file you were talking about: http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/M%20Disk/Morrow%20Robert%20D/Item%2010.pdf Did this TV interview ever air? I'd like to find a copy of it, or see if it can be posted on Youtube one day. Any thoughts on going about tracking it down? I'm not sure about Davis, but I think Bishop is a pretty important character. Zach

Hi Scott, I found a decent amount of information on Griffith but nothing that hasn't already been fleshed out on here. He was definitely in high demand as a public speaker promoting the military. Although the quality isn't the best, I did find a rare image from 1933 that I attached. Good luck, Zach

Tommy, The guy in the photo with Artime is Henry Hecksher. He was about 52 years old in 1963. Hecksher died in 1990 at the age of 79. The photo quality is very poor, but it does not look like he is wearing glasses. Zach

Hi Tommy, Artime was approximately 5'6". Hecksher is described elsewhere on this forum as "short and somewhat pudgy." He would have been over 50 years old in this photo. He definitely wasn't tall and in his mid 30s. I must admit, I have not read all of Russell's book. It can be very confusing and I do not know what Nagell is saying there exactly. That isn't the only thing he said that I can't quite follow. Zach

There was a mention from Jack White some time ago about how official pseudonyms are created: Philip Agee's INSIDE THE COMPANY The official names in documents are separate from field names like Maurice Bishop and Edward Hamilton. Phillips' use of Michael Choaden is interesting in that "Choaden" seems to be part of a series of inside jokes he enjoyed and mentioned in The Night Watch. Phillips also employed various other pseudonyms like Paul D. Langevin. Steve, thanks for the kind words. I do enjoy checking in from time to time. Zach

Thanks Tommy, Some time ago, it was brought to my attention that it is possible that Carl Jenkins is Zaboth. Jenkins used the pseudos Carl James and James Beckhoff. Personally, I still think Henry Hecksher is Zaboth since he was AMBIDDY-1's case officer but there are some goofy memos out there that can be quite confusing. Zach
