Art was more libertarian. When Art retired from Coast to Coast the show went to a slow spiral. I know Art had Jim Marrs on his show one time to discuss his book about aliens but don't recall the title of the book.
Yes, Art liked Jim Marrs.
He also had podiatric surgeon Roger Leir on a lot talking about alien implants.
And Whitely Strieber.

Yeah, really liked the one I watched with you the other day. You and Jim are great interviews. Very interesting.
Agree.
With JM you sometimes also get to hear fascinating background stories of film history and major figures in that milieu.

Noory is right wing.
For years he would regularly create spots for Alex Jones, Roger Stone, Jerome Corsi.
I "think" Art Bell was much more left wing or at least not right wing.
Doug reminds us of his being told by E. Howard Hunt that JFK was killed over the UFO/ET secret.
This thread has included debate about that specific story as well as whether JFK truly had an interest in the subject and possibly believed it's not-of-this-earth alien premise.
If the alien/ET story is true...it is more important than JFK's death and every other historical event that mankind has experienced.

Furious Trump lays blame of his endorsement of the loser Mehmet Oz ON HIS OWN WIFE!
My goodness, this guy would throw his own wife under the bus like that?
And humiliate her so publicly?
How can this woman stay with such an own wife back stabbing bas### like him?

Joe,
You and Michael Griffith are raising important questions about the statements made by Paul Gregory related to Oswald’s Russian language skills.
It is instructive to compare this recent interview alongside the Warren Commission testimony given by Gregory about Oswald’s Russian-language proficiency, wherein Gregory recalled that “Oswald understood more than I did and he could express any idea, I believe, that he wanted to in Russian.” (Warren Commission Hearings, Vol. IX, p. 149) He also observes that Oswald would make grammatical errors when he spoke, which might be explained by his dyslexia, which Gregory refers to on multiple occasions in the interview.
On November 10, 1962, Oswald sent a postcard to Gregory, advising him of his new address at 602 Elsbeth Street in Dallas. The writing was a lengthy run-on sentence. Because Oswald’s English grammar was so poor and because he confused the word “too” for “to” and because there was a perfect complimentary close written in Russian, Gregory concluded that Marina had written the note. As it turned out, Oswald’s feelings were hurt because Gregory did not believe Oswald was writing to him personally. I have included an image of the postcard in my article on Oswald’s Russian language proficiency, which may be read at: http://harveyandlee.net/Russian.html
Gregory’s Warren Commission testimony conflicts with the description given in his 2022 interview, in which Gregory believes that Oswald was a genuine defector with no prior preparation in Russian language studies. In the interview, Gregory characterizes Oswald’s Russian language skills as “exactly what it was for someone who spent three years in the Soviet Union.” But for the Warren Commission, Gregory stated that Oswald was “completely fluent” in Russian and spoke with “a very strong accent.” (p. 149) Gregory’s Russian-speaking father speculated that the accent was Polish. The accent is never mentioned in the 2022 interview.
How may the discrepancies and omissions between Gregory’s Warren Commission testimony and his interview be explained?
In the interview, it becomes abundantly clear that Gregory has a personal agenda in writing about Oswald. His father, the linguist Peter Paul Gregory, had written a generic letter of recommendation for Oswald, who possessed a good enough aptitude in Russian that Gregory Sr. believed him “capable of being an interpreter and perhaps a translator.” As explained in the interview, both the father and son regretted that they had become involved in any way with the alleged presidential assassin. In the interview, Gregory calls their involvement “a black spot on the family.” In an attempt to keep the family image untainted, Gregory is now making every attempt in his power throw Oswald under the bus of history.I'll read Gregory's WC testimony to compare against what he says in this interview regards Oswald's proficiency in Russian.
To feel their interaction with Oswald was a black spot on their family and hiding from being asked about it sounds so insecure...and is kind of betraying Marina too.
Ruth Paine never tried to hide or distance herself from the Oswalds. She shared everything she knew about Marina and Lee her whole life. She was secure enough to not feel she was tainted by her involvement with them.

i have not read the book but the foregoing suggests to me someone trying to make sweeping conclusions using broad strokes based on limited information and likely influenced my his father's role.
I agree. Paul Harvey doesn't even mention the Syliva Odio incident.
And what psychoanalytical take does Gregory prescribe to explain or dismiss Oswald's world press announced "I am just a patsy" shout?

Imagine if you will Lee Harvey Oswald not gunned down 2 days after 11,22,1963.
He goes on trial.
If Paul Gregory's Oswald as guilty lone gunman findings and conclusion are true it would be easy for even a half-way competent prosecutor to convince a jury of Oswald guilt and that he acted alone.
No conspirators whatsoever.
Oswald gets the death sentence. Justice is done. Paul Gregory's truth prevails.
HOWEVER... Jack Ruby whacking Oswald right inside the DPD building less than 48 hours after Oswald allegedly shot JFK incredibly changed that proposed reality.
Oswald guilty as Gregory asserts or not, Jack Ruby took away the one and most major piece of evidence that could have determined beyond a reasonable doubt Oswald's JFK killing guilt or innocence ... himself.
America's great majority number suspicion of the official WC finding of Oswald as the lone gunman, as Gregory asserts, was born on 11,24,1963. Not on 11,22,1963.
It was watching strip joint owning Jack Ruby burst in front of Oswald and blasting his insides out and killing him on live national TV ( I saw this ) in front of 70 armed security personnel that forced tens of millions of Americans to trust their common sense gut instincts from that day on versus the official WC Oswald "Lone Nut" finding.
And their dismissing Jack Ruby and his killing of Oswald as nothing more than a mentally disturbed hot-headed boob doing his Jackie Kennedy grief saving thing.
These millions of live TV watchers "had" to feel great suspicion.
Ruby's killing access to Oswald right inside an armed camp DPD building was more improbable than Oswald shooting JFK from a high floor building window!
Jack Ruby changed history almost as much as Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly did.
The truth of Oswald's guilt or innocence in the assassination of JFK will always be unprovable thanks to Mr. Jack ( Dallas cop deli sandwich providing buddy ) Ruby.

Despite my contrary views on some points, the Gregory interview is thought provoking and very worthy of listening to imo.
Gregory mentions with disgust how a vulnerable and naive Marina was very quickly set upon ( even before she was released from Secret Service protection in the Six Flags hotel ) by self-interested others who wanted to cash in on her celebrity. Even the manager of the Six Flags hotel!
Gregory reveals again his protective thoughts about Marina.
He says before these people got a hold of Marina she was dressed in a style more akin to her Russian roots. Plain, even frumpy. No American style make up and hairdos.
When these predators ( Priscilla Johnson McMillan? ) got finished with their prize catch however, Marina was looking like a chic Hollywood fashion star!
As if this was a bad thing?
What young woman, poor Russian or not, wouldn't love to be Hollywood glamour style made up to give herself a self-esteem and especially heavy and dark worry relief lift from what Marina had been through for years with Lee?
And Marina had the basic inborn physical beauty goods already.
Figure, face, soft wide set large brilliant blue eyes, sexy quiet and reserved yet intelligent demeanor. Dress, make up and hair styling can only do so much. If you've got the complete basic beauty package already however, these can make you look like a star!
Post Warren Commission Marina had the beauty goods to be on the cover of fashion magazines. She was that attractive.
It was an interesting side story fact, how many people ( especially men ) mentioned Marina's striking physical beauty or prettiness from the minute they met her.
A full list would be fun to see.
Just off the top of my head...
Paul Gregory, David Lifton, Norman Mailer, Jeanne De Mohrenschildt, Hugh Aynesworth, Ruth Paine ( obvious even if unstated ) etc, etc.

Oswald stamping Banister's building address on his fliers alone is laughably indicative of a connection.
-
Jim's interview style is always entertaining imo. Always balanced out with some light humor and laughter if even over the preposterousness of certain claims made by questionable agenda LNers.
What I would have given to have listened in on Jim's luncheon date conversation with Oliver Stone and David Mamet at some chic restaurant in the best part of West L.A.
Best I could offer would be a sit-down chit chat with Jim D. at our local SUBWAY sandwich shop. I have the coupons!

Gerry Patrick Hemming.
This known shameless self-promoting disinformation spreader raconteur said he met Oswald in Japan.
Said he had some covert contact with Oswald there although minimal and described Oswald as kind of a moron who acted as if he knew more than very little.
Always curious whether Hemming was in Japan at the same time as Oswald, at the same base, and was actually involved in some type of covert duty there.

Posner probably meant there was no KNOWN connection between the two. Besides, being in the same photo does not mean they other connection other than talking to each other at an one-time event. They may have never seen each other before or ever after.
You give Posner this weak "he probably meant" defense out. Why?
"Probably meant" doesn't cut it in the reclaiming credibility department.
When you write a major publisher/wide publicity book confidently claiming what Posner did regards no connection between Ferrie and Oswald either you stand by your claim or you publicly correct it when it is proven false.
This proposition by Posner regards no connection between Ferrie and Oswald was one of his top three foundations of his book! Proven false ruins the book and Posner research skills credibility.
When someone defending Posner has to resort to stating "he probably meant" something else when Posner's claims are proven false is so weak it sounds desperate imo.

Gregory states in the latter part of his interview that Oswald's Russian language skills were not good. Yet, in the beginning part of his spiel he mentions his Siberia born father giving Oswald a "To Whom It May Concern" reference letter vouching for Oswald's Russian language skills after presumably listening to Oswald speak. ???
Gregory's father's native language was Russian. He gave free classes at the city library.
If Oswald's Russian was as poor as Paul Gregory claimed they were, why would his father give Oswald such a reference letter?
Gregory says in the end of his interview that if he had more time he would want to research Jack Ruby more. Obviously Gregory thinks there is more to the "I did it for Jackie" Ruby killing Oswald story?
Gregory says he came to believe Oswald had "the soul of a killer."
Citing an adolescent Oswald pulling a knife on a relative when young Lee was living in New York City.
He also cites Oswald trying to do in Walker.
Gregory's psychoanalytic takes on Oswald sound very layman imo. I sense he has no academic education in that area at all.
Gregory mentions Oswald's escape attempt by boarding a bus as "laughably" low tech.
There just seems to be some noticeable missing Oswald background activity puzzle pieces missing in Gregory's presentation imo. Especially during Oswald's time in New Orleans.
Gregory hardly mentions Oswald's obvious connection to Guy Bannister and other nefarious characters in New Orleans. He says Oswald scurried off to New Orleans because he felt the heat was on in Dallas looking for Walker's shooter and he feared being ID'd for that.
One thing Gregory stated right off was something I have mentioned many times in my Marina Oswald postings.
Gregory mentions Marina's physical beauty upon first laying his eyes on her.
Obviously he was smitten by her and her brilliant glowing blue eyes. Gregory also described Marina as a poor "drowning cat" whom you wanted to rescue and protect.
He also describes an instance where he witnessed Marina falling backwards off some steps and hitting her back and head hard while holding Lee's baby girl Junie. He mentions Lee becoming furious at Marina for Junie's sake...and not even showing concern for Marina who Gregory worried could have suffered a serious concussion.
Gregory probably felt great disdain for Lee Oswald over that incident. I think Gregory felt protective over Marina and possibly even harbored some personal feelings of desirous attraction?

Well...
The author, Paul R. Gregory, is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, knew LHO for less than four months, and depicts an unhappy couple, and LHO as a disagreeable character.
"From June through mid-September of 1962, I was the sole companion of Lee Harvey and Marina Oswald outside of Lee’s immediate family. I visited this young married couple often in the duplex where they settled after Lee’s return from his defection to the USSR."
LHO behaved poorly towards Marina, recounts Gregory, and Gregory soon left the couple's acquaintance.
OK, fine, if that is someone's honest take on LHO, then that is their take. Many have said there was marital strife in the Oswald household, and LHO was not always a nice guy.
But then there is this paragraph:
My next image was November 22, 1963, as a bruised Lee was dragged into Dallas police headquarters to my shock and horror. Sitting in front of a TV screen at Norman, Oklahoma, I immediately understood that Lee had done it, and why, and that he had done it alone.
This is a scholar? Gregory is gifted---he divined the truth of the JFKA while watching TV at home in Oklahoma on Nov. 22.
This makes about as much sense as someone saying, "I had worked with LHO at Jaggers, Chiles, Stovall. We shared confidences. The next time I saw him was November 22, 1963, as a bruised Lee was dragged into Dallas police headquarters to my shock and horror. Sitting in front of a TV screen in Dallas, I immediately understood that Lee, financially and emotionally stressed, had been manipulated by others, duped and conned into a plot of some sort. "
Gregory's book is embarrassing.
I also have many contrary viewpoints regards Paul Gregory.

This is old news, but one of the most incriminating things about Oswald was he was trying to find that picture of him with Oswald in the CAP, he was calling the members of that CAP unit in the days after the JFK case.
And yes, he was worried about Oswald at the library with his card. He made phone calls on that also.
So, JVB's account ( even if made up ) of personally talking with Ferrie and Ferrie's frantic library card concern was based on a true situation?
Makes sense that Ferrie would be frantic about anything tying him to Oswald in any way.
And common sense would dictate Ferrie having such a Tulane U. library card. Technical scientific manuals and books that he needed for his rat cancer studies would not be in the city library.
Reminds me of Gerald Posner and his major publisher, "Case Closed" book which received national book tour coverage and credibility regarding his claim that there was absolutely no connection of Ferrie to Oswald.
Until Posner and that claim got egg in the face slammed as a completely discredited one when the CAP picture surfaced showing young Lee Oswald happily washing camp out cooking pans with other young boys with their camp leader David Ferrie smilingly supervising their cadet fun and games just feet away.
Ferrie WAS connected to Oswald. The CAP cadet campout photo proved this.

Just now, James DiEugenio said:
No they were not Joe, and there were far more people than just Roberts and martin who saw Oswald going into, or at the Camp Street address. Or knew he was working for Banister. In fact, I list about ten such witnesses in Destiny Betrayed.
I agree.

Another 100 potential patsies like Oswald?
Lee was just a "very strange man?"
And Lee just got incredibly lucky with his totally abandoned upper floor perfect location turkey shoot lair and JFK's limo passing right underneath this and having to make two against security protocol sharp turns there?
How many of those other patsies had one-on-one talks with even peripherally agency connected and George Bush Sr. knowing George De Mohrenschildt, visited embassies in Mexico City, traveled to Russia and lived there and were eventually doing many most public visible, broad daylight in busy downtown, extremely anger inciting political activities in New Orleans which culminated in a police called fight and then being interviewed on TV there?
And had individual FBI agents personally assigned to them. James Hosty ("Assignment Oswald") even before 11,22,1963?
And probably at least one in New Orleans as well?
And how many of those 100 other patsies had a wife and two young children and would think to express after his arrest for two murders his concern that his wife get new shoes for one of his children?
Oswald was no socially dysfunctional, mentally disassociated Bremer, Hinkley, Squeaky Fromme and even Vallee.
And a far, far cry from long time serious crime prison record, totally uneducated, raging racist James Earl Ray.

Added the QE II and the French Simca
Also - just for the picture... - I added some of my "spy-camera collection". There's a lot more spy-stuff in that collection but not JFK related.
The camera's I added for the pictures are some of my Minox camera's, and some Russian and Japanese spy-camera's. Well... the early versions were spy-camera's, the ones sold as from circa 1955 were merely luxury-gadgets. By 1960 they had much better camera's to do actual spy-work... Anyway, I'm happy with my Model II with early serial number 😃😃😃
Great picture!

According to Judyth Baker it wasn't the NOLA public library card that put Ferrie in alarm-mode, but his (Ferries) library card from the Tulane Medical school.
On Friday 22.11. 1963, after Oswalds cover was blown and Ferrie was abolut to drive to Texas to see what he could do for Oswald, Ferrie was still in phone-contact with Judyth V. Baker.
Here is her account, quote from her book ME AND LEE.
Quote: (ME AND LEE)
Close quote
KK
True or not, I like the dramatic flair.
And if she made up Ferrie's dialogue and demeaner I wonder how close she is in getting this right, relative to what others have found in their research?
Is JVB the first to write about Oschner being involved in some really dark and ominous covert programs and doings?
Or, did JVB simply dig this up from others who had already exposed these things about Oschner?

Always fascinating to see the Kennedy's both John F. and Robert F. when they were so young.
