EXCLUSIVE: January 6th Protest Organizers Say They Participated in ‘Dozens’ of Planning Meetings With Members of Congress and White House Staff

Another point of view. 

The author reports the DC National Guard was already on the streets Jan. 6.

His account is plain, and he has credentials (read to the bottom). 

So at least some elements of the National Guard were already deployed, in addition to the nearly 6,000 officers at the disposal of the Capitol Police and the DC Metropolitan Police. 

How on earth could 600 unarmed protestors "storm the Capitol"? 

Keep an open mind...the M$M sure has an agenda on this one....Liz Cheney? Are you sure she will tell the truth?

Real stickler is that Kostikov er al were being watched and recorded wherever they were in Mexico.  Many of these meetings occur Sept 27/28 yet if they wanted Oswald in Mexico not a single report in the month of Sept’s CIA summary reports mentions the CIA awareness of these meets.  No voice recordings from within the Soviet compound has Oswald speaking.

Like all the players there is no reason to believe KGB officers, whose job it is to turn westerners, or Azcue’s with the same job for Cuba, would have treated a wanna be “redefector” the way they described…  almost as bad as the never dying Paz party disinformation…

 

David J-

I am perfectly willing to believe LHO was impersonated in Mexico City, sheesh, maybe even got an airplane back from down there. 

But why would KGB/Embassy officers make up a story about meeting LHO? 

Seems to me if they had never met LHO, they could say so. 

In fact, denying the LHO-Embassy meeting makes more sense.

Admitting to an LHO meeting opens up the question if LHO was doing KGB bidding, as even recent authors have written entire books alleging.  

My take is LHO was a US intel asset, but he did in fact meet Kostikov. 

Well, I will need W. Niederhut's professional services if I read the Biden Administration statement regarding the JFK disclosure again. 

Amid all the breathtaking cynicism and perfidy, is another gem: 

Any information that an agency proposes for continued postponement beyond December 15, 2022, shall be limited to the absolute minimum under the statutory standard. 

This refers to the release of docs next year. Note the timing, based on "respect for the anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination." 

In other words, when the Biden Administration choses to again hide documents, it will be after Dec. 15 next year.

Like Friday, Dec. 17 or 24?

In other words, the Biden Administration next year plans to withhold key JFK documents and tell the public about it on late Friday in Christmas season. 

When nobody will be listening.

The story will be dead in the new year.

Nobody lies like The NY Times on JFK, redefining the word ‘exhaustive’ for all time:

“Despite an exhaustive, yearlong inquiry into the murder led by Chief Justice Earl Warren that concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, surveys over the years have consistently found that most Americans believe others were involved.”

Egads. "Exhaustive."  

So, the HSCA that concluded there was likely a conspiracy...was just a flim-flam fly-by-night operation?

There is one good thing in the Biden memo- the commitment to digitalize the JFK Collection. According to our backchannel discussions, NARA thinks this is a big win.

That being said, the Biden Memo along with the prior two Trump memos did not comply with the JFK Act. It is clear that the Executive Branch is incapable of complying with the JFK Act.  We will not take this sitting down. Mark Zaid is filing a lawsuit on my behalf on Monday. 

It is clear that Congress needs to act and re-constitute an ARRB to finish compliance with the JFK Act. The House Oversight Committee and the Senate Homeland Committee have continuing jurisdiction over the JFK Act.  I urge all readers to contact the chairs of these committees and demand they hold oversight hearings. Flood their emails and leave emails with their offices.

I intend to prove Earl Warren wrong and have these records released during my lifetime...

 

 

Many thanks and big kudos to Lawrence Schnapf for efforts regarding the JFKA. 

Of all the fragile flowers on the planet, national security is the most precious, and the merest zephyr will rip all the petals off. 

The JFKA docs, some from the 1950s, still must hidden due to immediate and identifiable harm to national security.

Carter Page is a threat to national security. Julian Assange is a threat to national security. 

Hillbillies in Afghanistan are a threat to national security.  

600 lulus who occupy the Capitol for a couple of hours are a threat the national security. 

Facebook posts are a threat to national security. 

The US spends $1 trillion a year on the DoD and VA, but national security is ever on the precipice....

(However, multinationals doing hundreds of billions of dollars of business with communist China and kowtowing and transferring technology to the CCP is not a threat to national security.)

Excellent post from Gil Jesus. We are reminded on just how garbled large portions of witness testimony are regarding the JFKA, and that the Dallas Police Department went into Henry Wade-style prosecution very early on. 

Announced on a late Friday, the time to slink back home through the slime, when all the reporters have filed copy for the week.  

The obvious patent fraud involved! We are nearly six decades from the JFKA. 

The US spends $1 trillion a year on national defense (DoD, VA), but these documents would imperil the nation. 

Perhaps the Biden Administration is seeking posthumous approval from JFKA-era CIA'ers to release docs. 

For anyone who is interested, at the 1:46 mark, the three Embassy employees, including Kostikov, talk about the meeting with LHO.

Amusing viewer review on the IMDB page for the doc:

This WAS the definitive doc about Oswald - WAS...

jims0852025 November 2014

Warning: Spoilers

***POSSIBLE SPOILERS*** When first broadcast in 1993, this documentary was 3 hours long and filled with first-hand interviews with those who knew Oswald throughout his lifetime. It was a full-fleshed story of a troubled childhood and frustrating adulthood, all leading to his destiny in Dallas.

However, for the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination, this episode was cut down to only one hour, removing key information that leads builds the case that Oswald was the lone assassin (which he most certainly was).

With all of these details removed, this documentary now plays like every other retelling of the assassination and leaves the viewer with the impression that there is actual doubt about Oswald's guilt.

The original version gets 10 out of 10, but the re-cut version gets 4, and I'm being generous. Shame on Frontline for falling into the conspiracy hole and removing all of the facts that condemn Oswald and show him as the murderer he is/was.

 

How the hell can there be spoilers for the JFKA weekend?

As usual, I wonder who is the true author of such commentary, just as one wonders about Wikipedia entries.

This looks like planted commentary. 

Get ready for censorship. 

"Not stopping 'Stop the Steal:' Facebook Papers paint damning picture of company's role in insurrection"

---CNN headline

BTW, if Facebook posts genuinely organized an insurrection, then there is a clear track record of social media posts and texts pointing to the guilty organizers (who evidently felt no need to act surreptitiously).

Has anyone in mainstream outlined who posted on Facebook, what was said, and how many people followed whatever instructions were in the posts? 

Is there a there, there? 

I still wonder the 6,000 police officers of the Capitol Police and DC Metropolitan Police were doing on Jan. 6.  They appeared to stand down.

Pursuant to President Trump's April 26, 2018 order that postponed release of JFK assassination records required by the JFK Assassination Records Act, President Biden is supposed to issue a decision on October 26th whether to release the postponed records.  I organized a group of lawyers earlier this year to press the President to fully comply with the law.

As part of this effort, I have arranged with the University of Virginia's Center for Politics to hold a press conference on October 27th that will discuss President Biden's action on the JFK Records.    Here is the livestream link for the press conference next week. https://livestream.com/tavco/thesecretjfkfiles

Thanks to Lawrence Schnapf for his efforts in this regard. Let us hope for success.

I'm pretty sure this is in the PBS-presented documentary, Who Was Lee Harvey Oswald? (1993).  Kostikov and Nechiporenko spiel the party line about how LHO was on edge and slammed his revolver down on the desk.  Their attitude is pretty much, "Who, us?"  You might get more out of it than I did in 1993.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261496/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm

It's possible that interview footage shot for this film was licensed for later documentaries, though.

 

David:

Many, many thanks. That has been driving me crazy. 

To be sure, in the world of Spy v. Spy (if you are old enough, think Mad magazine), who knows who is ever telling the truth, or a version of the truth?

Still, Kostikov himself says he met LHO. My guess is LHO did show in Mexico City, but that there was also an impersonator.  

Some say Kostikov was just an ordinary Embassy employee, not KGB, and that "Kostikov was KGB" was fabricated by the CIA to bring the hammer down on investigations into LHO---the "World War III virus" posited by John Newman. 

Who knows? 

Thanks again. 

We have some participants in the JFKA saga on record and on film, such as Veciania and Kostikov. 

For me, these personal statements carry more weight, but maybe they shouldn't.

Unfortunately, my research isn't to find answers, but to ask questions. It's about examining the so called evidence and exposing it as fake. We may never have all the answers and interested parties will debate this tragedy for decades to come. We were lied to, plain and simple and that fact is why questions remain. I'm sorry that I can't tell folks who the gunman were, which direction the shots were fired from, how they escaped or any number of alternative scenarios from the official version.

My research is to present evidence that contradicts the official lie. I'll have to leave what really happened to others.

If you believe that the bus transfer is legit, then you'll probably have a problem with the taxi ride as well. I'll post it tomorrow, but for anyone who can't wait it's on my website with the bus ride here:

The Commission claimed that Oswald left the Texas School Book Depository building at 12:33 and boarded the bus at 12:40. They claimed that in that seven minutes, he walked seven blocks where he encountered the bus. Then he boarded a bus that would take him back to Dealey Plaza but not close to his roominghouse. Nobody on the bus could identify him, save a woman whose memory was shot. Then there is the phony bus transfer that is torn in half and not stamped.

Anybody who believes Oswald was on this bus needs to look at my evidence:

https://gil-jesus.com/?page_id=1280

"They claimed that in that seven minutes, he walked seven blocks where he encountered the bus."--GJ

How long are the blocks? Downtown city blocks? LHO was a young man, made it through Marine boot camp, was not fat or disabled, etc.  One block per minute? 

To me, the oddity is that DPD'ers were already searching busses, and not other vehicles...someone tipped them off early in the game...

To be clear, I am not saying the WC report is correct on this matter.  

But if LHO was on a bus, it makes sense in some regards.

I posit LHO was set up as a patsy, and his ride from the scene evaporated, or he sensibly chose not to get into an escape vehicle with the guys who just set him up as a patsy.  

So...lacking much in the way of good options, perhaps LHO took the first bus that promised to get him away from the area. The bus mired down, and then LHO hailed a taxi, and armed himself, accurately suspecting people were out to kill him (as happened soon enough). 

Is there another timeline for LHO in the immediate aftermath of the JFKA? 

How did he get to his rooming house? 

I am not contesting what you have said. But what are better explanations for LHO's whereabouts, post-JFKA? 

Great post. 

The fact that DPD police officers were searching a bus---and this is before Tippit has been shot---is an oddity in itself.

Really? You expect a presidential assassin to escape by bus? You are not searching ordinary vehicles? Panel wagons, cargo vans? 

Yet LHO is on the record as saying busses are not bad for escaping, for that very reason, that they not thought of as escape vehicles. This all suggests that someone who knew LHO then tipped the DPD to search busses. 

That, and someone (I forget who, but a government employee) was taking pictures of that bus too.  

I totally agree that the witness testimony regarding LHO on the bus is weak. But LHO may have been on a bus at some point. 

My hunch has long been that the CIA knew right away something had gone very wrong in Dallas, and LHO had to be caught quickly. They fed clues to the DPD. 

As usual, the WC was a prosecutorial and disinformation agency, not an investigative agency. 

The WC should have subpoenaed many DPD brass, and under oath asked them and Mayor Cabell if they talked that day to the CIA or other national security agencies and about what. Seized phone records and so on. 

OK, in this episode of the "The Ochelli Effect" Carmine Savastano makes a fleeting reference to seeing a video, or filmed interview of Kostikov, in which the KGB/Embassy agent discusses his meeting with LHO.

Does anyone know what Savastano is talking about? 

I think I have seen this Kostikov video also, but cannot remember where.

Jim Leavelle, the lead detective in the Tippit case, 

indicated to me that Captain Fritz wanted him to work up

a case on Oswald for the Tippit murder since they didn't have

a sufficient case on Oswald for killing Kennedy. I asked Leavelle

why he thought they had a better case for the Tippit murder, and

he said they had witnesses (ignoring the chaotic state of the

witness reports). It's a little-known fact that Oswald was arraigned

only for the Tippit murder and not for the presidential assassination.

Henry Wade and J. Edgar Hoover also expressed doubts about

whether there was a sufficient case against Oswald in the assassination.

If Henry Wade didn't think there was enough for conviction....

Wade was famous for saying (to the effect) "It doesn't take skill to convict a guilty man. It takes skill to convict an innocent one."

As we know, Oswald never had a lawyer.  According to the DPD there was no stenographic record of his questioning.  

He never got a grand jury hearing, or a preliminary hearing.  But yet on the day after he was murdered in the middle of about 50 Dallas cops live on TV, he was named by the NY Times as JFK's assassin.  Not alleged assassin, but assassin.

The Warren Commission was made up of lawyers.  But yet every tenet of judicial process was eliminated from their proceedings.  No objections were allowed, and no documents were examined, since there was no counsel for Oswald. There was no judge to oversee things since LBJ had neutered Warren as had Dulles, when he objected violently to Warren Olney as Warren's choice for chief counsel. So the kind of circus sideshow Johnny Cairns is going to describe was allowed to run rampant. I don't think anyone has done a better job on the shells, which have been relatively ignored, than Johnny does here. Can you imagine what Mark Lane could have done to Sims and Day on this? And my God, the print evidence!  LOL! 😂

https://www.kennedysandking.com/john-f-kennedy-articles/a-presumption-of-innocence-lee-harvey-oswald-part-3

Excellent article. 

I always like to say one reason to study JFKA in depth and in context is to learn how politics and media work in general. 

In the JFKA, we have LHO declared guilty within hours, and accepted by the media. An allegation or accusation becomes a conviction and confession. 

Remember this when assaying the modern scene. It is tempting to believe accusations and allegations that fit one's own narratives, or are PC at the time.  

The older I get, the more I revere the "innocent until proven guilty before a jury of peers" standard.  

The government can gin up a case against anybody, and any private citizen can file charges with the police or file a lawsuit.  

My take on the Dallas Police Department is that, Henry Wade-style, they started building a case against LHO immediately (the DPD template at the time), and were joined by the FBI and WC thereafter.

I couldn't understand why Donald Trump, who had zero respect for the intelligence community, listened to the intelligence community on JFK and didn't release documents. One almost has to believe there's some kind of dynamite in those documents.

 

 

Trump was a major disappointment. My guess is someone had some compromising info on Trump.  But it may be Trump just acted irrationally or transactionally. 

At this late date, it sure looks like someone is still planting anti-JFKA research articles and books, and yes likely as PR prior to Biden's decision on whether to release 50-year-old docs pertaining to the JFKA.

I used to think there must nothing in print that would be of value at this late date, due to scrubbing, and initial procedures to not put key matters into writing to begin with. Now, I am beginning to wonder.  

Maybe something is in the docs, when pieced together with other info would yield solid clues.
