I hope the cable news networks like MSNBC and the main internet news sites like AOL report this latest Roger Stone story. An inner circle member of the Trump team loses emotional control to a disturbing degree which results in his banishment from one of our main internet social sharing sites. Birds of a feather?

Sandy, the further testimony by Helms in response to Belin's Oswald/CIA questions on the pages following the one you cited from the Mary Ferrell site is what is truly worthy of serious scrutiny, suspicion and concern. Just one example: In response to Belin's questions regarding Oswald and any contact with the CIA he may have had Helms actually says: "Whether any CIA officer ever talked to him (Oswald ) any place I do not know." We all know what that statement honestly admits.

There really isn't any documentation or even commentary regards Raphael Cruz Sr.'s time in New Orleans. I've tried to find information ( besides Wiki ) from R. Cruz Sr. himself or others that mentions his time in N.O.. So far, there seems to be a black hole there and a blackout from Cruz. Sr. himself. We do know Cruz was living in New Orleans when Oswald was doing his thing. We also know he seemed to be quite active politically in Austin just before he left for N.O giving speeches about his experience and views of the Castro revolution in Cuba where he says he was a tortured soldier. But, it seems his Austin era political fervor and sharing just stopped once he went to N.O. So here we have a politically active Castro hating, ex-patriot Cuban moving to one of the top two ovens of Castro hating Cuban political activism ( Miami was the other ) and he just goes dark? Please, there is no way that Cruz Sr. didn't know something about Carlos Bringuier and what his people were up to and especially about the extremely widely covered confrontation downtown involving Oswald and Bringuier. That incident was published in the newspaper, broadcast on the radio and even reported on TV in New Orleans. Including the debate between Oswald and Bringuier. Cruz. Sr. was the exact same age as Oswald by the way.

I turned on NPR on my way to work early this evening and who did they choose to do commentary on the release...Phil Shenon! National Public Radio! What is going on here? Are there no research experts in America besides this guy? How has this guy managed to be on everything! Couldn't they have asked Jim Di and so many others on this forum?

One reason for ordering Trump to delay...assets to protect because they are still alive? They sure didn't mind stripping that protection from Valerie Plame when Robert Novak was allowed to out her in 2003. David Talbot's posted Facebook comments regards Trump and who's telling who what they can or cannot do regards this lawfully mandated release is simply totally disturbing. Could you imagine JFK's response to someone superceding his constitutional authority like that? Kind of obvious who really runs this country.

Absurd. Like Ty Carpenter said...they've had 25 years to edit, redact, blur, shred and lose everything already, and after all that time and effort to do so, now this? What, are they paranoid still that somehow they missed something? Just adds to the incredible suspicion they have created since JFK.

The national audience broadcast media just will not allow the presentation of any view of the JFK assassination other than the Warren Commission one. Even after 54 YEARS, mountains more evidence of a conspiracy versus lone gunman and three generations of a strong and constant majority of Americans not believing or trusting the WC finding. The national broadcast media through selective one-sided presentation coverage, has tried for 54 YEARS to convince America otherwise... and have failed to do so. Now THAT is failure...on an epic scale. But, they still continue this perverse, illogical pursuit...to the point of irrationality. Even though it erodes their integrity, honesty and ethical standards. Here you are America - the real truthsayers...Phil Shenon, Vince Bugliosi, Gerald Posner, etal. Those others are just loony conspiracy theorists. What a sad state our fourth estate is in.

The tape does make it clear what RFK actually said. But what would one expect regards RFK's rather weak handshake endorsement of the WC at that time? Could you imagine if RFK publicly proclaimed he didn't accept the WC report? By doing so, RFK would have given the highest political level stamp of approval and credibility ( from someone who most expected to be President in another 6 months) to the idea that his brother's murder was the result of a conspiracy. The guilty parties clearly knew what could take place if RFK actually became president with that mind set and following through in creating a new investigation with his presidential powers. In the devious, dangerous, highest stakes game of political poker, you don't reveal your cards before the final bet, hence RFK keeping his true JFK assassination belief hand close to his chest.

Jim D. Did Jack Paar ever express his thoughts regards the JFK assassination including the Warren Commission conclusion? Publicly or even privately?

GREAT!

Does anyone really think that Robert F. Kennedy didn't believe there was more to his brother's murder than minimum wage earning, cheapest most inaccurate firing rifle using Lee Oswald defeating hundreds of security personnel and with 5 untrained Dealey Plaza bystanders seeing a man with a rifle ( or two men) in the 6th floor window ( but not one trained security person seeing this ) up to 5 minutes before JFK's limo passes directly below?

So interesting. I watched the Carson interview of Garrison. I think I remember giving a "RIGHT ON" shout with a celebratory fist pump when Garrison made Carson look like a fool with the perfect answer to Carson's stupid question asking "why would he do that?" regards the assertion of LBJ's complicity in the JFK event cover-up. Carson finally revealed his often reported true reality mean spirited tone and demeanor while losing his cool and his audience's blind trust, respect and belief of him as a higher authority of the truth versus Jim Garrison. I never trusted Carson again after that Garrison hatchet job interview. There was truly something bad about Johnny Carson and his character beyond even the exposes written about him...IMO.

Such obvious distraction dis-information with some truths mixed in with absurd phony angles and suggestions. The Boston University college professor quoted in the 2nd post just has to say Oswald did it and the main problem with the release is how it shows the FBI were embarrassed because they didn't monitor Oswald closer on 11,22,1963 is insulting to anyone who has researched the JFK assassination beyond reading the tabloids. The dis-information boys sure have as much power and clout as they ever had. All the way up to the highest main stream media levels.

Wow...didn't know this about McGovern ( whom I always respected in so many ways ) but it makes sense in regards to Sahl who to this day still embraces with all his passion the JFK assassination as the most important and injurious crime against America and it's constitutional soul ... ever

Regards Chris Mathews: Expecting any of our highest paid main stream media political news and commentary figures, who have acquired or who are looking to acquire these super coveted career positions, to ever publicly endorse ( substantially ) the JFK assassination as a result of a conspiracy versus the WC "Lone Nut" conclusion ... is as irrational as expecting them to say they believe in UFO's and an ET presence on our planet. Those two subjects and an acknowledgement stance other than jokingly dismissing them are the biggest no-nos in that career field. I remember a Republican presidential primary debate in 2007 where the first question asked to the first candidate was from moderator Tim Russert to Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich. Russert asked Kucinich ( paraphrasing) if he still believed in UFOs. Instead of calling out Russert for asking such an inane and irresponsible question relative to the issue importance of the debate, Kucinich tried to joke about his UFO beliefs. From that one question and Kucinich's response to it, Kucinich was instantly categorized and labeled as a laughable loon and was ruined as a serious presidential candidate...forever! That's how destructively powerful the subjects of JFK conspiracy and UFO/ET belief are in the real world of political and main stream media career ambition and advancement.

Any of our members invited on COAST TO COAST AM to speak about the release of the files yet? If Noory and his team want a truly credible research and historically accurate assessment for their audience, versus Phil Shenon, they should do the right thing and contact these members.

I'm not trying to be a Eugene Dinkin...but has anyone else here noticed the huge MSM news story buildup of a conflict with North Korea with a massive increase in just the last week? Almost as if it is a given? Trump gives okay to "recall" 1,000 retired Air Force pilots? What a perfect event ( war ) to block out and perhaps even close the Trump/Russia investigation story. We are at WAR people! Sorry, but we will have to shelve the Meuller investigation for now... highest alert National Security TRUMPS political investigations any day. God help us all if this turns out to be true.

I accessed the You Tube link Doug provided and listened to the entire interview of Mort Sahl. Sahl is a very interesting and intelligent fellow, obviously well read, quick witted funny and refreshingly opposite of politically correct in his disposition for seeking and telling the truth as he sees and feels it, no matter how much heat, criticism and career damage he suffered for doing so. Sahl's take on Bill Cosby 47 years ago ( relative to what we now know about Cosby's true character ) was amazingly prescient. And I also appreciated Sahl's sharing about Herb Caen the San Francisco journalist revealing a clearer picture of this man's true character and political bent. Highly recommend others listen to the Mort Sahl interview via the link Doug provides.

Is there anyone on this forum that has credible training and education in dentistry? Who could perhaps share their missing or not missing tooth take regards the adolescent Oswald photo.

My guess is "Mr. Art Of The Deal" is trying to figure out a way to work another one with these files. Something like ... Okay JFK people, I'll trade you the release of these files...and you back me in the "non-release" of my tax returns battle with Meuller?

As emotionally unfit for the presidency as I believe he is, I do think that Trump was always interested in the JFK event and was of the mind that it was the result of a conspiracy. Trump was 17 on 11,22,1963 and probably an admirer of JFK and like all of us close to his age ( I was 12 ) extremely shocked and highly suspicious after seeing Jack Ruby whack Oswald live on national television, right in the Dallas PD building. Who knows what agency pressure Trump may or may not experience regards anything he may say or do concerning the JFK event and files, but I would assume he has been advised not to go into the matter too much publicly. During the 2016 presidential primaries, Trump made many comments about Raphael Cruz's father ( Raphael Cruz Sr.) perhaps being in photos with Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans for reasons I assume were to hurt Cruz Jr.'s primary candidacy. I believe however, there are some interesting questions about Raphael Cruz Sr. regards New Orleans and Oswald. If you read Raphael Cruz Sr.'s Wiki bio, you will see that he was very politically involved in anti-Castro activities, giving talks to groups in the Austin, Texas area about this specific political situation. You then read that he did indeed move to New Orleans right after his Austin residency ( 1962 or early 1963 ) with his wife and he was there during Oswald's 1963 NO activity period. But there is a huge black hole in this Wiki bio ( not one word ) about anything Cruz Sr. may have done in New Orleans, different from his stated and reported political activism in Texas right before and up to his NO move. One can reasonably assume that Cruz Sr. didn't just stop his fervor political interests when he moved to NO ( hot headed anti-Castro central ) despite Wiki's total blackout of any mention of this. You can be sure that politically active Cruz Sr. ( born the same year as Oswald ) knew Carlos Bringuer and he must have known about Oswald and Oswald's political activities especially the fight between Bringuer and Oswald as this event was so widely reported in the NO newspapers, radio and even on television news broadcasts. To me, Cruz Sr.'s high energy political involvement in his early twenties and proven presence in New Orleans while Oswald was there raises many intriguing questions about Cruz Sr.'s true political connections and activities there during that time and it the black out of any mention of this in any of his bio's.

One cannot totally dismiss someone going to as much personal risk effort ( some documented ) and with such a specific, high level important and almost unbelievable warning message as Dinkins did, and that actually came to happen and so close to the time frame he stated. The nutcase framing scenario is lazily easy to accept with Dinkins...but is dissipated by the real event occurring as he so clearly and widely reported to so many. Similarly with Rose Cheramie. And the disinfo angle is preposterously illogical. Too many suspicion creating and arousing doorways opened there.

Jim, I just read your review of Joan Mellon's book. I have read this once and probably even twice before. I may comment on the subject again later, but I need to think out what I want to say more thoroughly than I have time for now.
