Paul T. - it positions Oswald as a CIA asset, someone who was actively working with CIA, not with the radical right. Of course, I don't see the huge divide between CIA and radical right that you do.

Jim - not a day passes when I don't wonder what kind of world we would be living in had they all lived.

Paul T - While you engage with DVP, who it seems has not seen your theory here before, perhaps you could answer a question that's been on my mind. As a preface, you have stated numerous times that the reason WC/FBI covered up the truth and did not go after Walker and the radical right was in order to prevent civil conflict. Of course you know I find this ridiculous. But considering for a moment that you are right, and that, in your words, Hoover and Dulles were heroes who made the wise decision not to go after the perpetrators because they thought that a bloody internal conflict would ensue, would today's extreme rightward move make you rethink the wisdom of Hoover, Dulles, et al's decision? Has this question occurred to you before now?

Jim - Thanks for always setting the record straight. I experienced it personally a few years ago when you corrected me here when I expressed my opinion that Mary Pinchot and LSD changed JFK (it may have anyway, but he was already the progressive you consistently show him to be). Every MLK day I tune in to KPFA. The station has a remarkable and deep archive from which they draw on days like this. Today was no exception. I heard a speech delivered in Hollywood a few weeks before he was murdered, in which he makes clear that racism and poverty were inseparable, and that the Vietnam War was an evil that needed to be brought to an end. He articulated his plan to bring his movement to DC for at least 60 days to bring the the nation's and the world's attention to these truths. As always, I am brought to tears at some point when I listen to him. What a difference between his deep soulful words and by contrast the high sounding but somewhat empty rhetoric of President Obama. What does the 'audacity of hope' mean anyway? Why the cheers? I'll give Obama his due, but just saying... i was fortunate indeed that my parents brought be to DC for the 1963 march. It changed me forever.

It's not a video. And Veciana has made it perfectly clear, publicly, that Bishop was Phillips, and that he saw Phillips and Oswald together. I think the author should just publish his experience the normal way.

Doug - what do you make of the final image of the film?

Lance - I might be the only person here besides you who owns that book. I too did a lot of research into UFO phenomena, and like you found the author to be beyond the pale. I worked on UFO trading cards, but you won't find my name on the box because my ex wife wanted to finish the product herself, which she did. I am not a doubter that something real is happening, but I don't pretend to know what is happening. My inclination is that they are of this earth. I am reminded of the X-Files episode where Mulder and Scully are observing an abduction when suddenly another, far taller 'alien' appears and the two grays react in total surprise and are heard speaking English. Another episode finds Mulder in a far away jail cell, and in the adjoining cell a gray sits smoking a cigarette. Doig - with all due respect that video is way out there. Yes I watched the whole thing out of curiosity. I agree with David on this one.

What is this crap doing on this website?

Trump may be forced to choose between his business empire and the presidency. I think he would choose the latter in that case. Has anyone read the so called dossier that Buzzfeed published? I tried to post it but couldn't figure out how. There may be planted falsehoods in it designed to discredit the whole, but my bet is that much of it is true. The 'Golden shower' seems far fetched. Ron Reagan said that Trump's inability to say anything bad about Putin is a 'tell'. Love that choice of word.

Help me out. Who is Vicki?

Very smart article. I could share it on FB but few if any would read it - too long. Most of my well meaning liberal friends are actually quite ignorant on the subject of the Deep State.

Yes - they pay you very little ?

Can you direct me to info linking Angleton and Hemming? I can't find it.

So do you suspect Angleton was running Hemming?

Really interesting Tommy. Even though it's somewhat tangential, your speculation that Hemming was the author begs the question at whose instigation? I remember Robert Howard. Did he ever clarify his thoughts on the author, or where he found the letter?

I think the red shirt man is reacting to the mayhem, not shooting.

There really was no sarcasm. I have nothing intelligent to add but think your digging produced interesting results.

Wow - so Ferrie, and probably Ruby, can be linked to La Jolla mafia connections, a bank and a bar. Can't help but wonder if some of the JBS SoCal were also linked.

Real News. Thanks Doug.

So who is the guy in the red shirt?

I suspect that as well

Paul Trejo - try this question, and stick to it without reiterating your theories. is Mitch McConnell Radical Right? Is Comey radical right? Is Breitbart radical right? Is Flynn radical right? How about Trump? Putin? Do you think you can parse this and put everyone in a convenient cubby hole with hard and fast lines between them? i hate like hell when you call Oswald a radical rightist, along with Walker and Banister, and then say that Hoover and Dulles and Lemay were American heroes. Really? Will you ever realize that the lines you draw are artificial?

Thanks Jim - for taking on the task of countering propaganda.

Chris - thanks for the detail on Hosty's inbox. I don't mean to interject while you and Trejo are going back and forth. What I am asking is not why Hosty didn't see the cable. It's why, if FBI headquarters had received a CIA memo detailing a meeting between Oswald and Kostikov, they didn't make sure that a possible assassin with connections to Dept. 13 wasn't in a position to attempt an assassination in Dallas. Sending a memo to Hosty directly, and letting Hosty deal with it himself, makes no sense. Wouldn't Shanklin have been notified as well?
