Steve, Thanks for these offerings. They really make the whole McCord picture more complete and interesting. AQUATONE kept pupping-up in my reading lately; but I had not looked at it in isolation. Michael

Now that is interesting. What if Conein had been arrested at Watergate? What would have been the point of having him show-up at that party?

Welcome Rebecca, I hope you find this forum useful. I am interested in making areas of this forum more active and dynamic. I think it has a lot of potential. Feel free to message-me to bring your contributions, or those of others, to my attention. I will try to contribute if I can. Cheers, Michael

Jim, I just wanted to acknowledge your health issues and say that it saddens me. I hope you find relief and good health soon.

@Paul Jolliffe here is that Oxcart/U2 connection.

IIRC, I found a relationship between McCord and a Oxcart camera manufacturer in Connecticut. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_A-12 The docs for that link/relationship should be in the documents I shared on the James McCord thread.

Here is the Q clearance Document for James McCord Jr.

From Jim’s writeup on James McCord... https://kennedysandking.com/obituaries/the-mysterious-life-and-death-of-james-w-mccord “John Newman later discovered, it was here where McCord teamed up with David Phillips to supervise the Agency’s anti-Fair Play for Cuba Committee campaign, of which Lee Harvey Oswald had all the earmarks of being a component. (James DiEugenio, Destiny Betrayed, Second Edition, p. 158)” Jim mentioned, previously, that John Newman provided a footnote for this assertion in his (Newman’s) book. Can anyone give us that footnote or provide the reference itself?

I’m hoping this James McCord thread can get back on track.

McCord was given a “Q” nuclear clearance from the Department of Energy 14 months prior to this oath. Something was more important when October of ‘63 rolled around.

I thought that the whole plumbers unit was transferred to CRP. IMO it is all notional anyway; if not abject smoke and mirrors. And, for the passing reader, and good measure, Alfred C. Baldwin, a Watergate burglar/conspirator is {if he hasn't died, {without notice} some years ago}, a member of this forum, @Alfred C.

If there was a sword hanging over McCord, Hunt, Barker, Gonzales, Sturgis, Liddy, Nixon, The CIA etc, and it was the JFKA, then the arrests would have forced a purge of much of that information. These guys knew that that information was there and there was going to be a purge of Castro or the information. I think Hunt and the Cubans wanted He former. Nixon and the CIA settled on the latter. Just like the JFKA, the facts could have been obscured by war over Cuba or a war over information, ie.: the truth. Thats my take.

”It is a simple matter, Tom, of a bullet, right to the head”; as he points to his right temple. Note that this is a second take. A reporter asks him to “do it again” at the beginning. So we have Kilduff, twice, explaining that JFK was shot in the right temple.

That “reflection”, seen at 4:32, can be seen in the sprocket area of the vast majority of the Zapruder frames from Z030 to the very end. The point is, is that it can’t be a reflection from that direction since the camera sweeps in a very wide arc through the length of the film. It is clearly an anomaly.

Brain-snap. When one is first confronted with the consequences of particular conspiracies, like the JFKA, it is overwhelming. One, in a matter of seconds moves away from the notion, and buys the lie, or stumbles through a very difficult process of confrontation and acceptance of that notion of conspiracy. Like I said, it is a matter of seconds between deciding upon a comforting or immensely troubling world-view or accepting the lie. There are also many people who know better but will continue to provide an illusion of comfort and safety for the masses who chose to believe the lie. When the reality of the situation first appeared before me, I was rocked to my core. I never wavered from it, but it took many years, and the Internet, and the Educationforum in particular, before I felt there was way, a resource, to peel away the layers of lies.

Trying to share a clickable link https://blackopradio.com/archives2019.html

Paul, Regarding tips on posting screen shots.... Posting actual photos or screenshots here is not really a good solution because you quickly run out of allowable space for that. I will be glad to help you though. The first thing, however is to edit your screenshot so you a posting just what you want to share, instead of everything captured in your screenshot. I am assuming that you are using an iPad. Open your screenshot, and at the upper right, next to the recycle bin, you should see an edit button. Click on that and you will see tools which will let you edit your pic. You can also pinch and expand your pic and take another screen shot of that expanded view to zoom in on what you want to share. Once you have it sized the way you want, you can the click on “click to choose files” in the EF widow where you are creating your post. Click on photo library, then select your screenshot.

If Wikipedia could be updated, with the best information we have, that could ferret-out the facts. Some media outlet would carry the story.
