Good Post.

This is from Wikipedia, "On March 1, 1967, Shaw was arrested and charged with conspiring to assassinate President John F. Kennedy by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison.^[7] Three days later on March 4, the Italian left-wing newspaper Paese Sera published a story alleging that Shaw was linked to the CIA through his involvement in the Centro Mondiale Commerciale, a subsidiary of Permindex in which Shaw was also said to be a board member.^[7] According to Paese Sera, the CMC had been a front organization developed by the CIA for transferring funds to Italy for "illegal political-espionage activities" and had attempted to depose French President Charles de Gaulle in the early 1960s.^[7] On March 6, the newspaper printed other allegations about individuals it said were connected to Permindex, including Louis Bloomfield whom it described as "an American agent who now plays the role of a businessman from Canada (who) established secret ties in Rome with Deputies of the Christian Democrats and neo-Fascist parties."^[8] The allegations were retold in various newspapers associated with the Communist parties in Italy (l'Unità), France (L'Humanité), and the Soviet Union (Pravda), as well as leftist papers in Canada and Greece, prior to reaching the American press eight weeks later.^[7] American journalist Max Holland stated that Paese Sera's allegations connecting Shaw to the CIA eventually led to Garrison implicating the CIA in a conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy".^[7]

I agree that Shaw was a CIA asset.  I believe there was a connection between Shaw and European assassins that tried to kill DeGaulle and may have killed JFK.   The organization that Shaw was connected to in this arena may have been called Permidex.  I don't think think this was innocent. 

This is from Sparticus. "Curry was also responsible for protecting Lee Harvey Oswald. However, he later claimed that just before Jack Ruby shot Oswald he was "called to take a phone call from Dallas Mayor Earle Cabell"."  Cabell had jurisdiction over the Dallas City Jail, but not the County Jail, where LHO was to be delivered.  LHO had to be murdered in the City Jail, where Earle Cabell had jurisdiction.  That is why the murder of LHO occurred when it did.  Ealre's brother  (Charles) reported to A. Dulles in the CIA and they were both fired  by JFK for the BOP  fiasco.

Glory to Ukraine.

Yes, Charles, and  the purpose of the Warren Commission was to prove LHO was the lone assassin,not to determine who killed JFK.  It was set up to tell the American people that a  lonne assassin nut killed JFK and not to ask questions.  Everybody was to go back to their jobs and move on.  Nothing to see here. 

Joseph , I agree with you.

Under LBJ , the US Combat troops increased from 0 to 500,000- thet is what the JCS wanted and got under LBJ.  Under JFK that would never have happened and that is why JFK was assassinated.  

"JFK was viscerally, adamantly opposed to sending regular combat troops to South Vietnam."- this is why JFK was assassinated.

The full title is "JFK's War with the Natiional Security Establishment (Why Kennedy was Assassinated)".

I recommend "JFK;s War (Why Kennedy was Assassinated)" by Doug Horne.

And, Doud Horne has done a lot of work along these lines.  So, yes, you could be right.

I am very thankful for the Church Committee.  They did  a lot of good work 

Leslie, I noticed there was not much about LeMay in Coup in Dallas.   I read on another website you might be doing some new research on LeMay.  Finding anything interesting?

good post,Joe

This Connally quote came from Wikipedia. "Journalist Doug Thompson claimed that in 1982 he had a private conversation with Connally, and asked him whether he was convinced that Oswald had killed Kennedy. According to Thompson, Connally replied, "Absolutely not. I do not for one second believe the conclusions of the Warren Commission". When Thompson asked him why he did not talk about this, he replied: "I will never speak out publicly about what I believe."^[26]"

Great video , Gil.  It confirms what I believed all along- the head shot(s) came from behind the fence on top of the grassy knoll. And, this did not fit the frame up of LHO, so most of those witnesses were not interviewed by the WC.Dulles ran the WC (he had no job - JFK Fired him.) 

Charles Cabell was a dark figure (almost as dark as his boss, Allen Dulles). This is from Wikipedia, " 

• Cabell personally negotiated with Chancellor Adenauer for permission to station the U-2 in Wiesbaden and from there to fly over the Soviet Union illegally. It was the U-2 program that allowed CIA chief Allen Dulles to sabotage the peace summit between Khrushchev and Eisenhower. Cabell was promoted to full general in 1958."

This is a poster of JFK wanted for treason  put out in  Dallas in 1963 by a right wing fascist organization...https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JFK_Wanted_Dallas_1963.jpg

Jim, in today's New York Times, in the obituary section, it read " LIFTON- David Samuel.  We mourn the loss of the author,David Lifton who died peaefully on December 6 in hospice care in Las Vegas.  His book Best Evidence received much critical acclaim.   A graveside ceremony will be held at a date to be determined."  

I tend to agree with you, Joseph.   Do you have a view on who was doing  the impersonating?

David H., John S. updated his write up on operation 40 (70) in Dec. 2021 , fyi.....https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKoperation40.htm

LBJ gave the Military what they wanted : a very large increase in troops in Vietnam. 

Good post, Gil. 

Actually, the last post was 2011 (prior to today).
