    Thank you Gentlemen and Lady for educating me on this page.  Shoffler alone is worth deeper analysis.  I need to read Secret Agenda to understand better.

    Secret Agenda is a really good book, but be prepared to spend some time with it.  I literally did not want to stop reading at certain points.  There is a LOT of information there.

    When WMPD Detective Carl Shoffler died in 1996 at age 51,  the U.S. Government required his family members to sign a non-disclosure agreement that forbid public comment. Shoffler, of course, was the Detective who arrested the Watergate burglars after having been given a tip weeks before the burglary that the crime was being planned.

    Perhaps McCord's family was required to sign a similar NDA.

     

     

    This was new information to me, but I'm not surprised.  Shoffler's role in the event was always iffy IMO.  

    Here's my problem with the new version of the McCord events. I have not yet read Shane's book.  But McCord wasn't like most of us.  He wasn't John Q. Ordinary-Citizen.  He was a man with a CIA past.  He was a man with CONTACTS, for Pete's sake.  If he'd had this information, he would have had people - serious law-enforcement types - with whom he could share it.  And he could have blown this one up at the time in order to save lives.  In fact, he could have worked to bug/infiltrate the suspected person's HOME and personal contacts in order to save lives.

    Without more information (for which I do not have to pay to access), I can't quite buy this one yet.  And heaven knows I buy a lot of books on far less information.

     

     

  3. I'm happy to go with a subscription model, but I just donated to the forum last week.  My discretionary funds are allocated until June, but if you can tell me how much to chip in then, I'm happy to make this a go.

    I know most of you probably have other forums you frequent, but I have found this one to be an informative place which allows me to participate. 

  4. If a crime like that happened today, somebody would have taken photos or filmed part of the scene to allow a possible ID of the mysterious Nash Rambler which conveniently drove itself away from the crime scene a few hours after the murder.    

    So if Mary Meyer was murdered by someone other than Ray Crump, then what could have been the motivation?  Her mysterious diary?  What on earth could she have written that made that kind of a difference?  While it would have been an embarrassment to the Kennedy family if her affair with JFK was made public in 1964, there were surely larger scandals in DC.

    The U.S. Supreme Court in Jurney v. MacCracken created the precedent under which Attorney General Barr can be held in contempt of Congress and arrested for failure to deliver to Congress the full and unredacted Mueller Report.

    I like the fact that there is still the theoretical possibility of holding the AG in contempt of Congress.  Normal people would have already been held in contempt of Congress.

    And PS - I like the new photo that you posted in the thread.  I never would have guessed from it that you're as old as you say you are.

    Jim,

    I own Curry's book and I read it cover to cover last summer, and no, that quote is not in it. However, he makes it clear that he had doubts about the basics of the case against "Oswald". He clearly believed there could have been multiple shooters.

    There is some other pretty good stuff in it though. Maybe I'll do a separate thread just on Jesse Curry's "JFK Assassination Files."

    Meanwhile, look at this interview with him:

     

    This thread reminded me that I picked up a used copy of the book awhile back, but I have yet to read it.  I had to dig through some things to find it, but now that it's out I may put it back on my TBR pile of books.  If you do start up a thread, I'll finally have an excuse to read it sooner rather than later.  

  7. Popplewell's affidavit says that he was contacted by the FBI 'about four months ago' from the date of the affidavit, August 20, 1964.  So the FBI found a piece of paper with a phone number in Oswald's pocket after he died and didn't follow up until roughly April 1964?   Wouldn't they have traced the number way before then?
