1963, Heroin, Cocaine, and the assassination
Michael Clark replied to Michael Clark's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Thanks Paul. I've been looking for an unspoken catalyst, something that would never be heard of by anyone. Drugs fit the bill; and drugs certainly ended-up floating to the top over the next 20 years. Cliff seems to know a whole lot about that angle. If he ever publishes something I would be right on it. -
Was William Sullivan Murdered?
Michael Clark replied to John Simkin's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
If anyone has an original paperback copy of Garrison's OTTOTA's, I would be interested how this story is recalled in that book. I have long remembered a different scenario, especially with regard to the location of the murder being in Sugar Hill, NH. -
1963, Heroin, Cocaine, and the assassination
Michael Clark replied to Michael Clark's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
MacArthur seems to be an odd figure to reference in this subject, but Henwasn't above absorbing questionable gifts of cash. "MacArthur made $33,000 a year (plus a penthouse and expenses) while serving as the top military advisor in the Philippines18 and, while still on Corregidor in February 1942, accepted $500,000 from Manuel Quezon as a gratuity. By contrast, Eisenhower diplomatically refused Quezon’s offer of $100,000 as a gift when he left Manila in December 1939 " https://www.jagcnet.army.mil/DOCLIBS/MILITARYLAWREVIEW.NSF/20a66345129fe3d885256e5b00571830/085bbefdd7beee6d852573c5004a04ff/$FILE/Article 6 - By Fred L.

1963, Heroin, Cocaine, and the assassination
Michael Clark replied to Michael Clark's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
The Lifton thread is going off-topic into an area that I would like to hear more about. So I am going to out Cliff Varnell as the member who I mentioned, in the first post, and hope that he might step in, here, with some analysis. The Lifton thread is discussing the Sotheast-Asia drug trade. I believe I have seen Lansdale in, at least, the median area of implication in the drug trade. Since I, personally, see Landsdale as an intelligence-craft successor to the military-arts practitioner, MacArthur, as "Generalissimo" in the region, I am wondering if Cliff, or other members, see MacArthur with his knickers moistened by that same drug trade, prior to having left Asia for good? -
Anatomy Of The Second Floor Lunch Room Encounter
Michael Clark replied to a topic in JFK Assassination Debate
And Ray, more to the point of your question........ I think Baker was a motorcycle cop, as he said. His story gets him to a point where the Warren Comission wants him, in 90 seconds. So if you remove that necessity, he very well could have instinctively blocked traffic at Elm, or could have been ordered to do it, as the emergency unfolded. Then he may have gone to the radio and got his instructions to go elsewhere.- 278 replies

Anatomy Of The Second Floor Lunch Room Encounter
Michael Clark replied to a topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Well, Ray, Ive seen some things that don't add up. I can't get into the copy-and past search mode right now but, I believe his story changed several times to make the 2nd floor encounter work. I also see him heading beyond the stairs. There is also testimony that no one saw him come up the steps. So, I am taking advantage of those facts and see who we can allow to be telling the truth, by hypothetically dismissing Bakers account as false. In this case I am allowing Craig's testimony to be true and see if any of that makes sense. Some of it does. To be sure, I have a bias in favor of guys who stick to their story, in the face of trouble, get fired, shot, forced off mountain roads, car bombed and suicided. Cheers, Michael- 278 replies

Splice in Tina Towner Film
Michael Clark replied to Maarten Coumans's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Correct Michael. However if a forum is like a mall, it would seem like rather bizarre behavior for one to walk into all the shops containing items in which he has no interest, and berating the customers and staff. Imagine yourself, if you will, at a rack of yoga pants, complaining, nay, yelling-out- that they are not your size, style or color? Do you really want to be that guy? -
Anatomy Of The Second Floor Lunch Room Encounter
Michael Clark replied to a topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Alistair, I don't know, it's confusing. Every time I look at this stuff I do not see what other people say that they see. I just move on. I think that very few people are absolute objective viewers. So I usually walk away from these things thinking that people either know something that I don't, or are trying to prove something in particular. I this case, I think people have tried to determine if Baker could have made the second floor encounter. Likewise, I am taking Officer Craig's testimony that Baker had been directing traffic before heading to the TSBD, and seeing what that does for me. What it does explain for me is why there are so few cars on lower Elm st. in Couch, and why cars are stopped at Elm. It allows me to place the Officer-typically-Identified-as-Baker, at his motorcycle to use the radio, where he gets his instructions to abandon traffic duties at Elm. He is not parking it. Honestly, I am not making solid assertions, I'm just playing with things. Cheers, Michael- 278 replies

Anatomy Of The Second Floor Lunch Room Encounter
Michael Clark replied to a topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Right now, I see Baker abandoning a traffic control post, on radio orders, and heading towards, but not in, the TSBD. I'm definitely not buying the 90 second thing. It could have been a couple minutes.- 278 replies

George, The drop-down comments on that video read: 1975 interview with Dallas Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig. Interviewer: Ted Ganfoldo. This is the complete interview with Roger Craig which some excerpts are in Mark Lane's Two Men In Dallas. -------------------------- I am inclined to think That Mark Lane is correct when he states in his Video, Two Men in Dallas, at the 3:00 minute mark, that it was an April 1974 Interview by Lincoln Carle. The voice of the interviewer sounds the same to me.

Sandy, Aside from the assumption that we are seeing Baker crossing the street, when HE SAYS that he crossed the street, do we have a sold indication for the timing of this clip? What makes me question it is that I simply don't get the feeling that this is 30 seconds after the shooting. It's just a feeling from looking at body language. I feel like it is longer. Aren't both film clips discontinuous as they head down Houston and then turn onto and head down Elm? Cheers, Michael- 278 replies

I am following this kostikov letter, kind of peripherally. I am getting the sense that Ruth may be some kind of handler of LHO, but he is unaware of that. Kennedy's trip has been announced and he is starting to wonder what is going on. He's not getting enough info and things are not adding-up. The letter is kind of like Richard Case Nagell going into the bank and shooting a gun into the ceiling. He is now suspecting that Ruth is a player. He is blowing her plausible deniability, indirectly putting her on notice that he is now suspicious of her. He is also making it difficult for the FBI and CIA to deny that they had foreknowledge of his threat, should something happen.

Thanks Larry, I did find the National Emergency Airborne Command connection to Silver Dollar. It was not designated as "Operation Silver Dollar" so I thought it might be something different and so I asked here. And like I said, I was curious if he was still active. Again, thanks for your reply. Cheers, Michael
-
Mr. Howard, I give up. What is operation Silver Dollar? To be sure, this is just a ping. I see a lot of great posts from you. I wonder if you are still busy researching. Cheers, Michael

And I know in another film we do see Hester get up and head to the back. Either way, it's interesting if Hester really is a phto-lab guy and his lab developed the Z-film and parkland photos. ***edit. A related thread
-
Zapruder and the photo-lab owning Hester's, milling around, Sittzman takes a hand-off from Zapruder and heads to the back of the Pedroia, Hester heads back there too. Film of the assassination was critical to the cover-up. It's just too strange. Sorry, I have no analysis or evidence, but the coincidences are just too interesting. The above GIF is intriguing.

From this thread: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?/topic/15298-mr-and-mrs-hesterwho-were-they/&page=9 Harrison E. Livingston wrote on page 194 of "The Radical Right And The Murder Of John F. Kennedy..." that "The subjects (that) Zapruder filmed in Dealey Plaza shortly before President Kennedy's fatal motorcade came along were Marilyn Sitzman and Beatrice and Charles Hester. Charles Hester owned a company called Commercial Photography. The question is, was the Hester couple related to Robert and Pat Hester, parents of Vicky Mayne, who were part owners with Fritz and Helen Holland, of The National Film Company, a lab that Vicky Mayne told me actually developed numerous of the films and photographs, including photos of the body at Parkland which she saw and which made her throw up (Killing The Truth p. 511-512). She told me she had helped develop the Zapruder film." It is Livingston's theory that "It is reasonable that another person was operating a camera close by Zapruder with essentially the same perspective, perhaps in the 'pill box' just behind Zapruder in the pergola."
