Oswald did a lot of target practice in the months before 11,22,1963. In her Warren Commission testimony, Marina said he shot his rifle at leaves in park visits in New Orleans. She also said he later went to Lop Field in Dallas to practice. And he did get one practice shot at Walker. Also according to Marina, Lee would spend hours alone in their various apartments cleaning his rifle and one assumes pretend aiming and firing at imaginary targets. Oswald may have missed hitting rabbits at 10 feet away with a shotgun in Russia but he was reportedly only along for the fun time with his new Minsk buddies. Seems Oswald just didn't care about making his marksman rating while on the Marine range with Delgado...hence just going through the motions? Oswald also reportedly spent hours leafing through gun magazines in the parking garage office next to Reilly's Coffee company in New Orleans while he was supposed to be in the main production building cleaning coffee machines. His brazen neglect of his work place duties to do so ( despite Judyth Vary Baker altering his time cards ) resulted in his being canned. His downtown NO, broad daylight "Fair Play/Hands Off Cuba" leaflet passing may have also contributed to his firing. David Ferrie himself said Oswald was a poor shot? Never heard that statement before. In that Ferry and Oswald together Air Cadet camp out photo which shamed "Case Closed" book author Gerald Posner, it looks as if short statured Lee was assigned pot and pan washing duties more than rifle shooting practice. Deputy Constable Seymour Weitzman ( a gun buff/sporting goods store owner ) mis-identified the Texas School Book Depository building found rifle as a Mauser. It was many hours if not days later that he realized his mistake. He later ended up in long term confinement in a mental ward in his 50's. He was a WWII Army/Air Force combat vet and actually spent time as a prisoner of war. Surely, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome from his prisoner of war experience could explain his mental breakdown in his 50's. Yet, could his hugely reported TXSBD found rifle misidentification screw up on 11,22,1963 have haunted his mind as well? It is very surprising that so many top world-class expert rifle marksmen mostly missed the target hits that Oswald made in a 6 and 1/2 second span. Oswald's JFK's 8 inch wide skull target bullseye hit at 265 feet away, all while JFK himself was moving his head two feet to his left and while his limo was also moving down and away was a bullseye hit for the ages. Was the target the marksmen were shooting at only 8 inches wide and moving sideways as well as away and down at 5 to 11 MPH? Unlike the JFK kill shot re-creation marksmen, Oswald's final shot was under life and death stress. Oswald was surely aware that his first 2 loud shots would probably draw some attention and looks up toward his extremely illuminated mid-day sun open window position. He knew that he could have been stormed at any second by wild-eyed gun wielding officers and been blown apart. That last shot would have been lined up and taken with as much anxiety as a combat soldier in the heat of battle and with the enemy charging in. One last second chance to change history? Talk about cojones! His sweaty hands trying to steady his defective sight aim at such a small and 3 way moving target...and hitting it within inches of dead center is one of the most remarkable target bullseye hits in history. And under life and death stress.

More than "liked." Loved more like it. "Roselli was a true patriot." Our Johnny. Bad feelings toward JFK and pure hatred for RFK. No tears shed for JFK and Jackie on 11,22,1963. At least Jack Ruby cried his eyes out over Jackie and the kids. At least right up to his blasting Oswald's guts out.

Rob Couteau's Intro to Stanley Marks JFK Play
Joe Bauer replied to James DiEugenio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Your K & K essays are enlightening. In so many human history civilization advancement thought areas besides the JFK/RFK/MLK truth mission effort. And doubly appreciated by me personally as well in their expansion of my own limited vocabulary. Joeseph McBride same thing. The following comments by Jackie Kennedy regards JFK and even RFK sincerely caring about the lives of lower income people just re-inspires my reverence for them as humanitarian icons. [2] And if anyone has any doubts about JFK’s remarkable empathy, this eloquent statement made by his wife four months after the assassination should put them to rest: “Just as an example of him having a heart — I can remember him being so disgusted, because once we had dinner with my mother and my stepfather, and there sat my stepfather putting a great slab of paté de foie gras on his toast and saying it was simply appalling to think that the minimum wage should be a dollar twenty-five. And Jack saying to me when we went home, ‘Do you realize that those laundrywomen in the South get sixty cents an hour?’ Or sixty cents a day, or whatever it was. And how horrified he was when he saw General Eisenhower — President Eisenhower, I guess — in their Camp David meeting before inauguration — and Eisenhower had said to him — they were talking about the Cuban refugees — and Eisenhower said, ‘Of course, they’d be so great if you could just ship a lot of them up in trucks from Miami and use ‘em as servants for twenty dollars a month, but I suppose somebody’d raise a fuss if you tried to do that.’ You know, again, so appalled at all these rich people just thinking of how you can live on — not thinking how you can live on just twenty dollars a month, but just to use these people like slaves. He was just so hurt for them, though he’d say it in a sentence [.…] And then, another time, when you were trying to raise money for the cultural center, and a Republican friend of my stepfather said, ‘Why don’t you get labor to do it? If you took a dollar a week out of all of labor’s wages, you could have the money raised in no time at all.’ And he was just really sickened by that and said, ‘Can you think what a dollar a week out of their wages would mean to all those people?’ So all those things show that he did have a heart, because he was really shocked by those things.” Interviewer Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. adds: “Of course, he had a heart, [but] it wasn’t on his sleeve … But he was deeply affected.” See Jacqueline Kennedy, Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy, New York: Hyperion, 2011, p. 66-67. Jacqueline also recalled a telling incident involving Robert Kennedy. When the CIA failed to protect Oleg Penkovsky, a secret agent in Moscow who was arrested and executed, RFK approached Jacqueline, “just looking so sad … and he said, ‘It’s just awful, they don’t have any heart at CIA. They just think of everyone there as a number. He’s Spy X-15.’ And he said that he’d said to them, you know, ‘Why? This man was just feeding you too many hot things. He was just bound to get caught. And they’d keep asking him for more. Why didn’t someone warn him? Why didn’t someone tell him to get out? He has a family. A wife or children or something.’ Bobby was just so wounded by them — just treating that man like a cipher.’” Ibid., pp. 192-93. -
Why Col. L. Fletcher Prouty's Critics Are Wrong
Joe Bauer replied to W. Niederhut's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Here here. I repeat a question I posted: How did Lansdale take JFK's unceremoniously firing his long time friend Alan Dulles? A mutual admiration and respect friendship and highest level association that went way back before JFK was even a congressman? No animosity at all towards JFK for doing such? I find that take hard to believe. How about JFK sleeping with Cord Meyers estranged wife Mary Meyer? Lansdale must have known Cord Meyer. And how can anyone depict Prouty's military service record in any way but mentally sound, reasonable and high achieving and performing on the highest levels? -
Woody Harrelson as E. Howard Hunt?
Joe Bauer replied to Ron Bulman's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
I just don't get green lighting millions of production and actor salary monies for a TV film of the criminal gang "Plumbers" and the damage they did to our country with all of their sinister law breaking efforts to sabotage our constitutional foundation and trying to present this in a satire way. I've seen the preview clips. Woody Harrelson with his typical half-cocked grin and goofy-eyed expression. The G. Gordon Liddy character with a hair piece that looks like it was purposely designed to look ridiculous. What is the target audience the film producers are trying to reach with this piece? I watched the TV series "Gaslit" centered around Nixon's Attorney General John Mitchell's wife Martha Mitchell. Even though there was some displaying in the script about Martha Mitchell's embarrassingly self-humiliating eccentricities, over all the main film message thrust was really about the incredible corruption of Nixon, John Mitchell and the entire Nixon administration. 25 of the highest rank of them going to prison! There was another TV docudrama about John Dean and the main Watergate burglary team awhile back as well. I thought it was extremely well done with great performances by the actors who portrayed Maureen Dean, John Dean and G. Gordon Liddy. I truly enjoy Woody Harrelson in his usual movie roles of edgy eccentrics, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" humor type characters. Almost every time he makes me laugh in those. He's got a very unique charm in that way. But I can never take the guy seriously. And I can't find humor in the Nixon. CREEP, Watergate/Plumbers story. Although I always laughed my head off watching professional impersonators doing their bits on Nixon, Kissinger, LBJ etc. Highly recommend pulling up on You Tube impersonator David Frye's piece on LBJ...

That assessment can't be overstated enough. It struck me how much Mrs. Harvey went on about JFK and Jackie in the worst kind of disparagement way in her late life interview. "They were scum." Her husband obviously told her of JFK's sexual demands during JFK's visit to Rome while Bill Harvey was CIA station chief there. Having "two" women of the night brought to him for a threesome? Mrs. Harvey described Jackie having her own goings-ons ( suggesting sexual escapades? ) on a ship cruise while her husband was back in the states. There wasn't "one word" of kindness and respect expressed for JFK and/or Jackie from Mrs. Harvey in her entire interview. And this included not one word of empathy for Jackie Kennedy regards what she went through in Dallas, TX on 11,22,1963 and her children losing their father on that day and in the most brutally horrific way. Mrs. Harvey's hatred of JFK and Jackie and RFK ran so deep that decades of time could not soften it. You would think a woman who has lived a long life and had her own losses of the heart in that time might be able to find some ( even a little ) empathetic connection to another woman who went through something as devastatingly crushing as Jackie Kennedy did on 11,22,1963 and as a young mother to boot. But not Mrs. Harvey. That's a hard kind of hate. On the other hand, Mrs. Harvey's description of their close bond with mafioso Roselli ( whom she admitted had done some "bad things" ) was so effusively affectionate ( I think Mrs. Harvey even referred to him as "Johnny" ) the contrast of loyalties and loving praise is literally sickening. How can anyone not consider the deep level of JFK and RFK hate that men of William Harvey's ilk and stature in the intel world possessed ( intertwined with love and affection for Mafiosi types ) as anything less than ominously disturbing, even highly suspicious in the over-all context of JFK's vulnerability regards his own high status agency people hating him so deeply? Morales, Hunt, Sturgis and so many others harboring the same deep hate of JFK and RFK that the Harvey's felt? These were all extremely dangerous men with connections. You didn't want them as your enemies. More aligned in their loyalties to the Mafia than their own president? Talk about America losing it's moral way. Any film of Roselli must confront this twisted influence and loyalty perversion that existed between the Mafia and our own intel agencies during JFK's presidency and the ominous threat that reality presented in regards to JFK's personal safety vulnerability. IMO anyways. I have many times expressed a take on the influence of corruption on our highest level of governmental power in the 20th century. Organized crime had a much more powerful influence grip on every level of governmental affairs during this time than the average American could even imagine. LBJ, Nixon, Hoover. All tainted in that realm. Harvey and others like him too. They all shared one common bond. Hatred of JFK/RFK.

Tucker Carlson did it again
Joe Bauer replied to James DiEugenio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
IMO...the most importantly worst bad thing Carlson and so many other corporate right wing journalists/commentators have done ( by a factor of 10X ) is the purposeful downplaying of the incredibly violent, huge mob size January 6th, 2021 attack on our very own Capital building ( a sacred symbol of our democracy ) while it was full of our entire Congress, their aides and even our sitting Vice President Pence. This was the most dangerous domestic American society and government threatening event of our times. A super violent attack by hundreds (with thousands more cheering them on ) that not just seriously injured dozens of our Capital police ( a few even fatally ) but traumatized our Congress members by making them truly feel their very lives were in danger ... for 3 and 1/2 long hours! A psychological trauma that will surely give them bad scary dreams the rest of their lives. Seriously, the Jan 6th attack was equivalent to a huge bank full of customers being violently entered, taken over and all customers and employees held hostage by wild eyed, property smashing, screaming robbers, some of whom were threatening death...to Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence. All while our President simply watched this attack on TV and refused ( again for 3 and 1/2 long hours ) to order reinforcements to protect and save the overwhelmed Capital Police force and our life and death fearing traumatized members of Congress and refusing to tell his rabid worked up mob of followers to call the attack off and go home! Imagine a local police chief or sheriff doing the same thing in the analogous bank building attack scenario I mentioned earlier? The absolute truth is the huge violent mob attack on our Capital building full of our entire Congress on Jan 6th, 2021 was the greatest most threatening organized "domestic" attack on our government and Constitution since Fort Sumter and the Civil War. It was an overthrow event. A massive attack force one. The most dangerous and violent event in this realm in the last 160 years! And President Trump's purposeful non-action to stop it in it's first minutes is just as serious an act of sedition as the attack itself. Trump should have been arrested for not just encouraging the attack mob, but shamelessly, cowardly doing nothing to stop it and the injuries and trauma it was creating throughout it's 3 and 1/2 hour long siege. Trump did the opposite of what a president is legally sworn to do. “I, ( Donald J. Trump ) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”” Trump blatantly, willfully and illegally violated his oath of office in his purposeful encouraging of the Jan.6th, 2021 Capital building attack and refusal to stop it to protect it's defenders and our entire Congress trapped inside for those 3 and 1/2 hours. For Tucker Carlson and many other national stage media pundits ( who really do have sway power over millions of our citizens ) to consistently downplay this extremely violent large scale domestic threat overthrow attempt of our constitutional government they too bear aiding and abetting responsibility. The January 6th, 2021 attack on our entire Congress is THE big story here. Nothing else comes close. Wake up! Quit being put to sleep about this great importance government attack reality downplaying by Trump protecting Tucker C. and others like him. -

My goodness. New Orleans was "owned" by organized crime from way back. Looking over the obituary list of mobsters there in the link Greg Doudna posted above...it's like they operated there with absolutely no interference from anyone! Until Robert Kennedy became Attorney General of the United States.

Just finished watching the last weekly episode ( 16 ) of the Netflix series "Perry Mason." The whole plot line took place in L.A. in 1939/1940. Much of the story line centered around those "floating casinos" anchored just off the L.A. area coast line. Interesting true aspect of organized crime in L.A. going back decades. How much of a "Johnny Roselli" film story would be revealing of his closeness to Bill Harvey? And would it be an honest and full account? To hear Bill Harvey's widow tell it...she and her husband were in love with the guy. Mrs. Harvey ( herself formerly CIA ) : "He ( Roselli ) was a true patriot." My husband used to say that if he was in a real jam, Roselli is the guy he would want to cover his back. Mrs. Harvey also said: "That whole bunch ( John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and even Jackie ) were real scum." !!! What an incredible statement imo. Darkly ominous. How could someone so highly placed in our U.S. intelligence agency hierarchy as Harvey was, become so twisted in his American patriot loyalty that he would choose mafiosi friend loyalties over his own President? I wonder the extent of "favors" Roselli bestowed upon Harvey in their years long association? Could any of them involve money? Put that in a Roselli film.

Tucker Carlson did it again
Joe Bauer replied to James DiEugenio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
My experience observing TV and radio talk media over 40 years is that when those in the top rungs of that realm are involved in major controversies regards integrity and l**** and perhaps charges by the opposite sex, no matter the outcomes...their star status always takes a big negative hit. And they never really come back from them to anything close to their previous top gun status. It's like "any" major scandal involvement taints them too much. Once their ratings drop their employers move on. Looking for cleaner background talent. Alex Jones will never come close to his previous massive money making large audience place in talk radio. Bill O'Reilly same thing. I remember Dan Rather being knocked off his perch due to his reporting of George Bush Jr.s awol record. Geraldo Rivera turned into a national joke when his Al Capone Vaults turned up empty and one of his TV specials turned into a massive chair throwing brawl. Peter Jennings faded away. Many others. Limbaugh somehow survived his many scandals. Pill addiction, weird Caribbean escapades, Hillary primary cross-over vote promotion, etc. The guy's listening audience was just too addicted to his style I guess. Carlson can only lose with all this negative publicity controversy. He is now tainted with it. -
Leslie Sharp...your deep research chops remind me of Mae Brussell. She was a virtual machine in that area. A locomotive on full throttle. I remember actually becoming exhausted listening to her broadcasts on our local radio station here in Carmel, CA. She would put out so much information in a non-stop, non-break way. Sometimes even a little manic I hate to say. Yet, she consistently brought out some remarkable finds. Connections between power groups and individuals that at first sounded almost paranoid...yet, in time they turned out to be true and relevant. I viewed the video via an earlier posted link of Tucker Carlson speaking to I believe the Heritage group? Just two days before his firing? I really haven't studied Carlson and his work and background. Starting to do some now. Just from this talk tape however I can see he is a crafty and intelligent wordsmith. Very "sharp" in this way. Great vocabulary. Quick minded. Rush Limbaugh was too. Obviously Carlson does well "talking" in front of an audience. But man...do I see some deep flaws in his character and moral makeup. Would need a full day to present my Carlson critique in a coherent manner and even then I'm sure at least half of those who read it would disagree with me. One thing that made me cringe in that talk was TC's reference to his "I'm just a talk show host!" When criticism of him gets too heated to the point of serious charges being directed his way he falls back on that disingenuous and even cowardly " don't take me that seriously folks - I am just a talk show host " shpiel that Rush Limbaugh used in the same vein when his gas lighting rhetoric got out of hand. Limbaugh: Whoa folks...I know I told you who are registered republicans to crossover and vote in the Democratic primaries to screw up the Democrats and Hillary's vote count momentum ... but I didn't really think hundreds of thousands of you vapid listeners would actually do so. It was a joke! I'm just a radio talk show host. You know, a comedic one? Carlson said the same thing in this talk. Covering himself when things he says are quoted by crazies who take him so seriously they begin to act them out. January 6th for instance. Carlson said he goes into his sauna daily. It's a Swedish thing. To clear his mind he goes "pheasant hunting." Just a regular working stiff American. He talked about sanitation and personal cleanliness being paramount and "good." And disorder and filth in society being "evil!" Guess most of unsanitary India and other poverty stricken nations and societies makes them evil? Reminded me of Trump ( a noted "germaphobe" ) describing these poor unsanitary locations around the globe as "shithole" countries. The host of his talk presentation openly joked how "elitist" Carlson was just as they sat down after his talk. Carlson laughed loudly ( and screechingly ) while agreeing with that assessment. TC could keep up with the ultimate erudite wordsmith William F. Buckley. He's that well read and quick minded. He jumps from Greek philosophy to Keynesian economics to Freudian analogies as easily and smoothly as can be. He is a formidable debate opponent in that way. George W. Bush Junior was the opposite. And he was our president for 8 years? If Carlson's JFKA reveal just fades away...at some point will his advocates here admit to at least some degree that maybe they've been had?

Tucker Carlson did it again
Joe Bauer replied to James DiEugenio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
What I have been posting from the get-go. Have any of you seen that news clip of Tucker Carlson hamming it up with Trump at Trump's New Jersey golf course event months ago? Nothing but back slapping, fake smiles and exaggerated laughter at Trump's quips? All while we now know that in private Carlson can't stand the guy? Carlson can't risk losing his Trump cult viewer base by being honest about his true feelings about the guy. A Dominion lawsuit trial would have produced all those internal communications where Carlson's true feelings about Trump would have been exposed to the entire world. As well as his shameless hypocrisy true character. -

Howard Brennan: The "Star Witness" Who Wasn't
Joe Bauer replied to Gil Jesus's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Warren Commission testimony of Arnold Louis Rowland. Eyewitness to someone standing with a rifle in the Texas Book Depository 6th floor far West window just minutes before JFK was shot in Dealey Plaza. Mr. SPECTER - What, if anything, did you observe as to the clothes he was wearing?Mr. ROWLAND - He had on a light shirt, a very light-colored shirt, white or a light blue or a color such as that. This was open at the collar. I think it was unbuttoned about halfway, and then he had a regular T-shirt, a polo shirt under this, at least this is what it appeared to be. He had on dark slacks or blue jeans, I couldn't tell from that I didn't see but a small portion. Rowland was 150 feet from the 6th floor window. That's 50 yards on a standard sized football field. Mrs. Carolyn Walther. Dealey Plaza eyewitness to gunmen in the TXSBD building 6th floor window just before JFK was shot. 1:54NOW PLAYING Witness Carolyn Walther says she saw 2 men with guns in the Texas School Book Depository My goodness. Mrs. Walthers position on the street sidewalk to the 6th floor window ( as shown from the inside of the window looking down at the interviewer who stood in that place ) was so close! Maybe just 80 to 100 feet? Her only discrepancy is stating it looked to her like the 5th floor. Many people do not count the lowest floor of high rise structures in counting the number of floors above. -

Wherever Carlson lands "they" who would hire and pay him will not want him going off on a JFKA/CIA reveal tangent to start his new gig. That project is history. -
I have been fighting and suffering through my lost current political and Trump news thread addiction withdrawal symptoms. I knew that thread eventually had to be moved off the main line. Still, I miss it. However, this Carlson/Fox News thread stuff is like having a dealer offer me a fresh dose of current news heroin! Got to fight it! Alan Dershowitz. Yes, I had a body massage at Epstein's sex mansion...but I never took off my tighty-whities underpants and my masseuse was an older big boned German woman who barked strict orders at me.

Tucker Carlson did it again
Joe Bauer replied to James DiEugenio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Carlson's big reveal derailed by the bigger reveal. The bigger reveal that he and Fox New's inner core was/is nothing more than a truth corrupted, false news Wag-The-Dog corporate/1% propaganda machine. The weight of all that inner core corruption collapsed upon it's weak integrity foundation. Fox News was always a weaponized political propaganda creation. Never a real news organization in the literal sense of 4th estate ethics and integrity. A cheap trick. Hire attractive blond TV hosts instead of a more representative cross-section of true American ethnicity. And show some leg! As well as lower neck and shoulder hemlines. Only hire people who side with the right political views. Aggressive types who (like right wing talk radio the last 40 years ) mostly report only white fear and anger issues. Demonize liberals and Democrats as much as possible. An organization that was highly corrupted to it's highest levels regards permissive sexual demand pressure upon it's female staff. Roger Ailes himself demanding oral sex for position promotion? And eventually, of course, it was Fox News own internal staff members who were victims of this corrupt charade who finally exposed it's rotten core to the world truth stage. Fox news, like it's sister entity right wing talk radio, has damaged our society so much in their decades of divisive anger broadcasting. 24/7 feeding all the worst aspects of national liberal fear and divisiveness with manipulated and super hyped up news stories. It was all so cynical it was sick. Carlson, Hannity, Ingraham et alia got off easy with the Dominion settlement. If they had to sit under oath and admit to their years of saying the opposite political and personal beliefs versus what they were saying to their millions of viewers their careers would have ended right there. I posted that I didn't trust Carlson's JFKA reveal story. I felt nothing would come of it. Mostly by sensing his personal character wasn't of the kind of integrity that would actually follow through with it. Seeing so many here jumping on the Tucker Carlson JFKA truth crusader bandwagon gave me an uncomfortable forewarning feeling. Even with this easy out Dominion settlement Fox News will never be looked at again with anything resembling genuine news ethics trust and respect. Same with Carlson. IMO anyways. -
E. Howard Hunt's mind blowing near-end-of-life JFKA confession was reported in a few fringe outlets but generally ignored by the main stream media. Coast To Coast late night talk radio show gave it and E. Howard Hunt's son St. John multiple show coverage. I remember listening to those shows myself. Hunt named names! LBJ, Cord Meyer as knowing principles and even stated why they hated JFK as much as they did. Hunt's long time career positions in the real world of highest clearance agency status was totally ignored by the MSM in this story. He was higher up than station chiefs. Win Scott. Bill Harvey. Western Hemisphere chief David Phillips was his counterpart/boss at times. World famous William F. Buckley himself was godfather to Hunt's son. Frank Sturgis, David Morales, Bill Harvey...these guys were heavyweights. Hunt was higher up than them. E. Howard Hunt had his "very own office" in the Nixon White House! Hunt inspired fear in Nixon himself. Get him his money. Castro mistress and mother to his son "Marita Lorenz" worked under Frank Sturgis. Her JFKA story matched key elements to Hunt's "Big Event" one. A very "mobile" operation. A team moving across the South to a Dallas destination. Staying in one location for one night and moving on to another the next. Years later, Marita Lorenz called for police help when Sturgis threatened her and actually showed up at her New York City apartment house where he was arrested and detained by police detectives until a highest level power call to the NYPD had him immediately released. Sturgis warned Marita Lorenz not to say things publicly about him and others regards matters like the JFKA. Sturgis himself appeared on "Capone's Vaults" famous TV personality "Geraldo Rivera's" national TV talk show and made startling comments regards highest level covert deeds he was privy to. Even inferring the JFKA in at least some foreknowledge way! Rivera asked Sturgis whether Nixon himself ( while president!) was ever close to being taken out by covert forces during those times. Sturgis instantly responded..."absolutely." Sturgis stated Alexander Haig was CIA during Nixon's tenure. I always felt there should have been at least some major MSM investigation into Hunt's "Big Event" JFKA confession. Why not look into Cord Meyer? A very high placed agency man. Very intriguing. His ex-wife Mary Meyer ( who was proven to have been sleeping with JFK while JFK was in office) was murdered under typically murky and suspicious circumstances. Hunt's extensive highest covert agency status ( his own White House office?) and long highest importance event career should have demanded more investigation of his JFKA confession imo.

Why Col. L. Fletcher Prouty's Critics Are Wrong
Joe Bauer replied to W. Niederhut's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Reference Air Force officer Robert Salas's UFO story at Malmstrom Air Base in Montana 1967. My older brother was stationed at an Air Force base in Morocco around 1960. He was an AP ( air policeman ) Doing guard duty one evening he and his fellow security team saw large red circular objects hovering over the base. They radioed into their superior officer what they were seeing. After a pause this is what they were told. "We have nothing on radar. Therefore you see nothing. And don't write home about it." He also said one of the red objects descended down and slowly flew over their aircraft on the ground. Then, this craft instantly shot up in the sky in a flash and all the objects disappeared. I would ask him to tell me that story every few years. And he never changed his story up until his passing at the age of 81. -
Ha, those two jackets sure do look similar. Is that the jacket Craford wore on his 3 to 4 night and day hitchhiking journey through the end of November cold upper Midwest after he took off from his Jack Ruby job with no notice at all the day after JFK was shot or the day his boss rubbed out the only person on Earth that could have led us to the truth about who shot JFK? I have become much more interested in Curtis Craford the more I read about him and study his WC testimony. Even the WC questioners just could not buy Craford's meandering and conflicting hitchhiking story testimony. His leaving the Carousel at the time he did and in the way he did and his whole hitchhiking story shouted suspicion. He ran away from the Carousel like a scared rabbit and they wanted to know why. If his boss was just this totally innocent guy regards anything to do with the JFKA why coldly abandon him without any notice in his moment of great grief like that? And if you read Craford's WC testimony about details in his hitchhiking story...it's laughable in it's obvious made up take. Every meal he had cost the same exact amount...$1.50 cents. He made up models of cars he said he rode in. Crazy stories about who picked him up. Conversations he had with them. At times he would be walking 15 miles at midnight on dark open roads? With his arm and raised thump sticking out when a car happened to drive by every few hours? He eventually makes his way right up next to the Canadian border? Says he wanted to see his sister in upper Michigan because she hadn't responded to his last letter to her? My gut feeling is Craford saw and overheard much more in his time at the Carousel than he would ever reveal. He also was firm in his testimony that he felt Ruby's roommate George Senator was without a doubt queer. What a crazy circus carnie type character Curtis Craford/Crafard really was. Toothless, wandering, hitchhiking thousands of miles on a spur of the moment urge? With just $7 in his pocket? Broke when he arrived in Michigan? With a big toothless grin: Hi sis! I'm stinky, dirty, broke, hungry, sleep needing and scared too. Just the loving brother you can't wait to have arrived at your doorstep...right?
