The NEXUS webpage has been updated and has a synopsis of the book and a photo section. I'm sure it will expand further in the near future. http://larry-hancock.com/nexus.html Zach

The paperback edition of NEXUS is now available at Amazon.com and at JFK Lancer's catalog: Amazon.com - NEXUS paperback JFK Lancer Zach

Thomas, Here is a an image I constructed taking the Secret Service photo and adding Sorrels' photo from the Abeline Reporter News from 11/24/64. Boris Pash does resemble the man in the image with LBJ but Pash was shorter. Sorrels was in the car ahead of Kennedy on 11/22. He retired in 1969 after 47 years with the Secret Service, spending many years at the Dallas branch office. Zach

Hi Thomas, I am pretty sure the man who exited Parkland Hospital in between President Johnson and Secret Service Agent Rufus Youngblood was Forrest V. Sorrels an Agent of the Secret Service's Dallas office. Zach

I think Larry originally wanted to write a short monograph e-book that was to further explore where SWHT had left off in the 2010 paperback edition. This e-book was to be available by the 2011 November Conferences. It was titled, “A Mansion Has Many Rooms,” an obvious reference to the infamous James Angleton quote in the New York Times on Christmas day, 1974. However, the project quickly grew into a full length book that is now available for both e-book and paperback editions. "NEXUS" refers to a connection or series of connections linking two or more things, in this case within the U.S. intelligence community. It tells the story about how an element within a government agency could remove its own commander-in-chief. I have read the book and I must say it is absolutely phenomenal. There is some material in the book that I have not seen elsewhere. Eventually there will be a linking website for the book that contains documents, photos, etc. I encourage others to take a look at the book, as it is well worth your time. Zach

You are welcome Scott. Here is Nino's BOP file. Looks like he was a Ft. Benning graduate: First Name HIGINIO Last Name DIAZ ANE CIA Number 1336 Brigade Registration Date 3/13/1961 Batallion Unit BON ESP CO JEF Age at Invasion 36 Birth Place ORIENTE Brigade Position JEFE BON Arrival Ship SANTA ANA Sandalio Herminio Diaz Garcia was not a Bay of Pigs veteran. He was involved in a series of nefarious activities in the Carribean in the 1950s. Herminio Diaz did not emigrate to the United States until the summer of 1963 via Mexico City, where he allegedly met up with a curious group of folks. Zach

Hi Scott, There is some confusion about this but it is likely Sandalio Herminio Diaz Garcia was killed in 1966 in the Tony Cuesta-led raid on Cuba. Had he survived, his mug shot would have probably made its way into "Castro's Black Book" with Tony's and the others. Is this the guy you are talking to? Zach

Well said, Pat. Here are a couple links to some of Mr. Fonzi's great work: Who Killed JFK? Section VIII The Company Man (1980) CUBAN INFORMATION ARCHIVES The Last Investigation at Mary Ferrell Zach

I always thought The Last Investigation would make for the best movie about the JFK assassination. It would be a fine follow up to Oliver Stone's film, so people - not just researchers - would understand how the HSCA really worked and see why the government doesn't want to solve the JFK assassination. I am a little surprised that no one has attempted to do so, but maybe people have and there are other factors at work here. Zach

Thank you very much Robert! I will check out the Invisible Government. Information is few and far between but here is a brief history of the DIA I found that contains some good stuff: A History of the Defense Intelligence Agency Zach

Hi Jim, Well said above. Without going too far off topic, I was wondering what you think are the best sources for researching the origins of the Defense Intelligence Agency [DIA] and their founding director, General Joseph Carroll? I find it a little surprising that there is not much said about the DIA during the Kennedy years on this forum and elsewhere. Thanks, Zach

Does anybody have these articles? They sound really good. Everything I have read by St. George is excellent so I'm sure these are as well. "Why The CIA Will Win; Why the Rest of Us Will Lose" BY ANDREW ST. GEORGE Synopsis: In the '70s, Senator Church tried to clean house at the CIA -- he failed. His committee became lost in polite colloquies with bureaucratic witnesses -- ambassadors, generals, senior administration officials -- and rarely forced testimony on CIA genocide around the world. If you still believe that Congress can clean up America's festering corruption, this article is for you. Zach

Here is a series of interesting articles on Lucien Conein and "Assassination Techniques." I would think that from working in the ZRJEWEL program he would be very familiar with the latest in TWEP technology. From the The Milwaukee Journal - Jan 23, 1975: Assassination Catalogue Uncovered Zach

I wonder if Julian Assange takes requests? My favorite line from the movie is when the Oswald Imposter [James MacColl in his only film role] is at the car dealership and says something like: “If I was a doctor, and I wanted to give the world an enema, I'd stick the nozzle right here in Dallas, Texas.” Zach

Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply. I probably saw Pat's post at some point but I have been through so many Forum pages, I can't remember. Thanks for bringing it back. I very much respect Mr. Scott and all the great work he has done. His reply was from 6 years ago and I think it might be worth revisiting this subject. I think Larry Hancock has done the best job in disseminating the information surrounding Carl Jenkins and it is included in the 2010 update to his great book, Someone Would Have Talked. I'm interested in learning all I can about Carl Jenkins. Zach

Here are a couple other items on Jenkins: Here is a snippet of another from the Washington Post Link to google news archives for "Carl Jenkins" "CIA" Most of these items are Pay-Per-View, and I can certainly appreciate the bigwigs at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram trying to profit off an article from June 14, 1992 - but, to me, this is easily one of the most annoying aspects of research Zach

I agree that Executive Action is a tremendous film. It was a very bold project considering it was less than 10 years after the assassination and I think everyone who worked on the film knew it would be extremely controversial. I'm very interested in learning more about Carl Elmer Jenkins. Are there any other photographs of him available besides his passport? There are only a small handful of documents on Mary Ferrell on him as well. Jenkins did use the pseudonym "James E. Beckhoff." Here are a couple worth noting: Safe Houses for AMWORLD as discussed with Michael C. CHOADIN 11/21/63 Telecom with Beckhoff [Jenkins] and Reuteman [shackley] 11/1/67 Possible Guerrilla Activity in Chile Does anyone know if he used any other field names, and if so, what they were? Anything at all would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Zach

Here are a couple documents pertaining to Col. Bishop: FBI File: No Name Key Instructor HSCA Letter from Bob Blakey Sportsdrome Gun Range customers Nov 63 Zach

Greg, Bill, and Robert: Thank you for all the tremendous information - it is greatly appreciated! I agree with Greg's sentiment that this is the heart of the conspiracy. Here are a couple other tidbits worth noting here: Mexico Casa de los Amigos Casa de los Amigos official website Mary Ferrell documents: Originally posted by Robert Howard Warren Commission Documents: Oswald Dossier Oswald 201 File, Vol 24 Associated Forum Topic: The Big Con At Dealey Plaza Zach

Thanks Greg, Here is an item from the Weisberg collection: The Fourth Decade: The Casa De Los Amigos, by Jerry Rose (May, 1998) The story begins on page 19. Here are the pages: Mary Ferrell entry: A Record from Mary Ferrell's Database Zach

Excellent post and fantastic links. I have the Soldier of Fortune magazine where the Bayo-Pawley article was published. A Plot to Destroy JFK and Invade Cuba is must read material for anyone seriously interested in studying the assassination. Some of the early issues of SOF have articles related to the Secret War against Castro that have never been reprinted anywhere and about the only place you can find them is on Ebay. SOF won't reprint them. Zach, Bill agrees with you: Thanks Mike, I think the expression that applies here is "Great Minds Think Alike!" Here is a link to that important thread:Bayo/Pawley Affair: Soldier of Fortune Robert K. Brown, as I'm sure you know, was very close to Robert Emmett Johnson. Here is a little background on Brown from A.J. Weberman: The Lee Harvey Oswald Story Part 3 Brown also edited the English version of the book 150 Questions for a Guerrilla. The translation was done by Dennis Harber. The first printing, in February 1963 contained an eight-page appendix calling for support for Cuban exiles and contained several photographs of Interpen personnel in training. Curiously, in the second printing, July 1963, all this material was removed never to be seen again. Here is an image of Brown you may not have seen, from his book Merc. Zach

Hi Bernice, Thanks for the photos. The last one of the man under arrest is Gordon Novel not Roy Hargraves. Here is a link to the HSCA Mugbook. His picture is right next to Oswald's. Zach

Here is a larger version of the above image. It was Jim Garrison, district attorney of New Orleans, who first investigated these men and their possible connection to the JFK assassination. Zach

Hi Bill, Here is another link to the article. This is Larry Hancock's website. The article might be a little better here: Someone Would Have Talked Exhibits Chapter 1 There are a couple more documents on TILT and some of the key players from WAVE here from Larry's page as well: Appendix B [click on Appendix B at the top] Hi Scott, Yes I bought the magazine off Ebay. It is amazing what you can find sometimes. Here is a document from TILT that describes some of the key players. I can't remember where I found this. It might also be from Larry's website, but I can't find the link. There is also a series of TILT memos, one authored by Rip Robertson. Zach

Hi Bill, Do you want me to scan the entire magazine? The only relevant article in the magazine is this one: The Bayo Pawley Affair. I don't own a scanner but I can get images of the Op Tilt photos if you'd like. I realize the quality on Mary Ferrell for the images is bad, although the text is fine, especially when you enlarge it to 200%. I think most of the images are on Spartacus here: Photographic Archive: Operation Tilt The "Rip" mentioned in the article was of course Rip Robertson, although he used the name Rutherford in this operation. Robertson also used the name Irving Cadick in Guatemala. Zach
