Very interesting talk Jim.

This is not what I meant when I asked you this question. Of course you believe that there was no conspiracy and I believe that there was a conspiracy. But why do are you so concerned about what we believe? Why are you so determined to convince us that our beliefs are wrong? There are many controversial issues that are been discussed in forums all over the internet, what is it about conspiracy theorists beliefs that makes you want to post on a forum where no one really cares about what you believe?

Why do you want to change our minds?

Yes.

There is a new movie called "The Courier." it is about the Cuban missile crisis and is based on Greville Wynn's work for MI6 role during this crisis and his connection with Oleg Penkovsky.

Well said.

Would like to see the proof that he actually wrote it but even if he did, Torbitt's story is truly outrageous and is with out any corroborating evidence. You should read it, it really is disinformation.

Calvin: it didn't open.

Read the Torbitt Document, it is all misinformation. If you read the article about Permindex in Lyndon LaRouche's Executive Intelligence Review you will see that they are almost the same. Both can be downloaded online. Not sure about William Copeland being the author as no one has provided definitive proof of who wrote it.

Jim: Has John been doing any research and will there be an update to his website?

Did some research on Roy aka Blackburst who has passed away. Litwin's book said that he got the manuscript from a guy named Stephen Tyler. Jim if you, or anyone reading this post knows Tyler, can you let me know because I want to contact him. There are many problems with Litwin's book including writing about Garrison's state of mind, something he is not qualified to do. He also attacks Oliver Stone regarding his support for Putin. Stone's relationship to him has no relevance to Garrison's case against Shaw. Another problem is in the book's dedication that blames Garrison for Bloomfield's loss of reputation. It was not Garrison who was responsible for it, the blame can be found primarily with Lyndon LaRouche who published Dope Inc. and an article about Permindex in the Executive Intelligence Review. The Torbitt Document whose author is unknown, also connected Bloomfield to the assassination and Paesa Sera article shares some responsibility as well. Bloomfield himself did not blame Garrison for his problems, he blamed LaRouche. Litwin included all of the above with the exception of the Torbitt Document but still blames Garrison. He also tries to dismiss Nagy's request to CIA to assign a US businessman to Permindex/CMC. His proof is that they offered Shaw the job in 1958 and he cites a CIA memo dated 1959 which refers to Nagy's request. He should have provided the document sent by Nagy to CIA making his request not a CIA memo referring to the request. The date on Nagy's letter, not the CIA memo should be compared to Shaw's job offer.

Jim: Is a copy of the finger print card and arrest report available, is at Mary Ferrell or do you know anyone who has it?

Litwin also wrote about Shaw's Bertrand alias. Does anyone know if Shaw actually stated that he had an alias when he was arrested and if yes, is a copy of this document available?

He refers to Aynesworth as being such a great journalist and also mentions that he was a confidante of Garrison before going over to Shaw's defence team. What Litiwn should know is that you can't be a journalist and write a story about the Shaw trial if you are embeded with the people you are writing a story about. This is common sense, Aynesworth lacked objectivity. But Litwin didn't take that into consideration.

Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of Stephen's unpublished book about David Ferrie: Perfect Villain: David Ferrie and the JFK Mystery.

Calvin: What is the source for this document?

Found this document as well, it is from the Harold Weisberg archive regarding the same document. In 1993 David Perry was searching for the same document. http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/P%20Disk/Perry%20Dave/Item%2017.pdf The document also references an article that refers to the document and to document 105-9987. This can be found on Mary Ferrell. You do not need a membership as you can do 3 searches for free. I also recall an article about Paine and her membership in the Friends organization but I do not recall the title.

Ruth Paine Papers on Marina are located below. The document and related information may be there. http://archives.tricolib.brynmawr.edu/resources/5109pain

I contacted Jim about the document and his reply is below. "The document is for real. But it turns out that either the FBi agent was wrong or the source was wrong. THey checked it out for the PBS special in 1993, and the guy denied he said it."

Can't find it in the second edition. If the document has a number attached to it you may be able to find that document in Mary Ferrell's database. One of Oswald's relatives, Dorothy Murret, may have had intelligence connections. Maybe Ruth Paine was investigating this connection.

They probably gave him the job because he was a rabid right-winger.

I have the second edition. The item cited in the footnote is in which chapter?

What page is the end note on and in what edition of the book did you find it? Jim states that most of his sources for Ruth Paine and her husband are from articles written in Probe Magazine by Carol Hewitt, Steve Jones and Barbara LaMonica. Maybe the navy document can be found in these articles.
