From Bill Kelly's blog https://jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2018/04/colonels-at-dealey-plaza.html?m=1 Colonels at Dealey Plaza COLONELS AT DEALEY PLAZA Colonels are the highest ranking officers on the battlefield – what the snipers call a HPT – High Priority Target – guys who take their insignia off before going out in the open. They are the - Go To guys the Generals personally give instructions and orders and they’re the ones responsible for seeing those orders are carried out. On the chess board the Colonels are Bishops, Rooks and Knights and capable of maneuvering and striking from different directions and distances. There were three colonels at the Alamo – Colonel William Barrett Travis, Colonel Jim Bowie and Colonel David Crockett. And there were a number of Army and Air Force Colonels directly involved in JFK Assassination – “boots on the ground – in the field" and at the command centers. I intend to get photos and the official files and develop dossiers on each of these men and would appreciate anything you can add to the record. Not yet arranged in any particular order: - Col.

Bill Simpich said...No one has done this. The CIA has been done over and over again. Isn't it intriguing that the CIA documents are far more available than those of the military? How many books on military intelligence are out there compared to the CIA? Food for thought. Great project Bill.

John Newman has had a running FB post discounting Vecian's claims regarding Dave Phillips. Posted April 8th "In November 2017 at the Lancer conference in Dallas, and again in March 2018 at the conference in San Francisco, I gave a presentation on Antonio Veciana and his claim that Bishop/Phillips recruited and trained him in Havana beginning in mid-1960. In Volume III, ("Into the Storm") coming at the end of 2018, there are a least two major chapters on the Veciana story about his relationship with David Phillips. The attached chart is worth studying; it speaks volumes about Veciana's story and how poorly our research community handled the alleged recruitment in Cuba over several decades (the person who noticed was Cuban intelligence chief, Fabian Escalante, in 1995). I am releasing this chart now because it takes a few months just to begin understanding its ramifications. I hope you enjoy working through them."

Thanks, Andrej. I am in favor of the tall PM with a leg on the second step.

 John Newman just let me know the "Mr. Abbott" is indeed a known Crypto for Dave Phillips. (Countdown to Darkness, P.425

The above quote is from the following thread....

P.109 of this document indicates that "Mr. Abbott" was a cryptonym for Dave Phillips. Can someone ask Mr. Veciana if he had ever known Phillips as Mr. Abbott? https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2018/180-10145-10210.pdf For reference and to indicate the nature of my interest... see my next post.

I am thinking that Hunt, and others, were under emmense pressure from the Cuban exiles to get the government to act on a Cuban liberation. This pressure may have been upon pain of death; just business, of course, nothing personal. I think Nixon wanted to act, but the agency did not, feeling that an isolated Cuba was better than a free Cuba. I think their plan was for these "big event" folks to turn-up at Watergate and light a fire under both the butts of Nixon and the agency. The plane crash that killed Dorothy was the response from the agency. To be sure, this is my working pet-CT.

Pinging Mr. Root in this thread because I noticed that he never posted in it; perhaps he never saw it. I noticed in the document linked below, that an alias for David Phillips is "Mr. Abbott". I am wondering if this was previously known. I searched for a while but did not find anything. The question that this raises for me is... Did Oswald actually request to speak with Phillips, using the name Abt, or Abbott? Was "John Abt" quickly used as cover for Oswald's actual request for Phillips? Is this what got him killed? P. 109 of this doc. Identifies "Mr. Abbott" as a cover name for Dave Phillips. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2018/180-10145-10210.pdf

Hey guys, can we include prominent Dallas businessmen in this discussion, or CIA agents who are native to the area? Is Fort Worth close enough to Dallas to be included? How about Irvine? Gordon McLendon http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKmclendon.htm Gordon McLendon was born in Paris, Texas, on 8th June, 1921. The family moved to Oklahoma when he was a child. McLendon studied Far Eastern languages at Yale University. While at university he ran the campus radio station and was business manager for the Yale Literary Magazine. During the Second World War he accepted a commission in the United States Navy and worked as an interpreter, translator and interrogator. Later he joined armed forces radio. After the war McLendon returned to Texas and joined the KNET radio station. Eventually he established his own radio station, KLIF, in Dallas. His first innovation was to provide live baseball broadcasts. In 1947 McLendon and his father, Barton McLendon, founded the Liberty Broadcasting System (LBS). By 1952 LBS was the second largest radio network in the United States. The McLendon family eventually owned a large number of radio stations including KNUS-FM (Dallas), KOST (Los Angeles), WYSL-AM (Chicago), KABL-FM (San Francisco), KILT (Houston), KTSA (San Antonio) and KELP (EL Paso). It has been claimed that McLendon was the first person to introduce the traffic reports, jingles, all-news radio station and "easy-listening" programmes. His radio stations also expressed a right-wing political commentary. This included his attacks on federal aid to education, racial desegregation of public schools and equal voting rights for all races. In 1963 rumours began to circulate that McLendon might have been involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. In their book, Deadly Secrets, Warren Hinckle and William Turner claim that Gerry P. Hemming obtained money from McLendon to help fund Interpen. McLendon was also an associate of Jack Ruby as well as being friendly with several other suspects including Clint Murchison, Bobby Baker and David Atlee Phillips. Peter Dale Scott claims that McLendon made a secret trip to Mexico City just before the assassination. According to Seth Kantor when Ruby was arrested he "shouted out for Gordon McLendon". The KLIF disc-jockey, Weird Beard, later told Kantor that Ruby "greatly admired McLendon". McLendon was also a film producer and in 1959 made three movies: The Killer Shrews, The Giant Gila Monster and My Dog Buddy. He was also ran the advertising campaigns for 150 movie and between 1963 and 1966 McLendon worked for United Artists. McLendon was also the author of several books including How to Succeed in Broadcasting (1961), Correct Spelling in Three Hours (1962) and Understanding American Government (1964). A member of the Democratic Party, McLendon attempted to unseat Ralph Yarborough in 1964. He later left the party saying he could no longer support the policies of Lyndon B. Johnson. McLendon sold KLIF for $10.5m in 1971. Over the next eight years he sold the rest of his radio stations for approximately $100m. Later it was estimated that McLendon was worth around $200m. In 1975 McLendon and David Atlee Phillips formed the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO). By 1985 Forbes Magazine claimed that McLendon was worth around $200m. Gordon McLendon died of cancer on 14th September, 1986.
