Using Occam's Razor as a guide, the answer is clear as clean water in bowl. Others want to stare into muddy water, and if it isn't muddy enough, they will drop in more extraneous 'dirt' and make it opaque. Robert Blakey got it right, long ago: Marcello ordered the hit. He had the motive, the means and the money to pay for it. What was not clear until very recently is where does the CIA fit into this? The answer is with the missing piece of a three-sided pyramid. That is where the expat Cubans join with RFK and the CIA who join with the Mafia. That is the second side of the pyramid, but it appears to be a two-sided proposition. It is not. The third side has remained invisible due to confusion and trying to assemble the story with only two of the three parts. The missing third side involves the lives of people like McLendon and Murchison and Haiti and De Mohrenschildt - all glued together by three ships: the Mi Amigo; Galaxy and Olga Patricia. Follow the lives of those ships and you meet all of the people involved with the murder of JFK. Without knowing that there is a missing third dimension to this puzzle, the Blakey version just opens a can of worms that come crawling out in the form of questions. Factor in the third dimension and the story is very clear. However, the story became too dangerous to reveal due to the cover-up that the original story. Then the true story could not be told without revealing the missing part of the puzzle.

Using Occam's Razor as a guide, the answer is clear and has been clear for a long time. Marcello ordered the hit. He had the motive, the means and the money to pay for it.

Robert Blakey was correct all along, but his problem was not knowing about the missing third dimension to this puzzle.

Yes

I think that you hit that nail on the head with your opinion. I believe that is exactly what happened. There was more than one group that wanted to get rid of the Kennedys, but only one of them (Mafia), had the guts to pull the trigger. The lies surrounding both the Kennedy brothers and the lies surrounding David Atlee Phillips and company shut them up completely. The Mafia had a win-win murder plan in which those associated with their victim dare not talk for fear of bringing down the wrath of all upon themselves.

I agree that there are probably more files and I also agree that we do not know what we do not know.

Joe, I am not a fan of "a true story based on real events" because the scriptwriters play for entertainment value and either convolute information or even event scenes that never happened. I am waiting to see the movie about John Lilburne and his links to Thomas Jefferson. At present, it does not exist. There have been movies about Cromwell and the English Civil War. They were dreadful invented 'histories'. This is why my partners formed what is still a dormant company called 'Yesterday Never Happened (UK) Limited. We have published both a number of academic monographs, produced audio and video documentaries and even a continuing commentary for a museum. But one of the drawbacks to presenting this stuff to a wider audience on the screen has been vested broadcasting interests such as the British Broadcasting Corporation. They have built their own "history" upon fake roots. Last year that organization claimed to be 100 years old, when in fact they were only 95 years old. They did this by incorporating a storyline that did not belong to them, but which shared the same 'BBC' initials, and by ignoring the roots of their own creation back in 1660. That was when England introduced a NEW monarchy (not restored an old one), and it was introduced to block out all mention of the life and times of John Lilburne during the years from 1649 to 1660 when both England and Scotland were merged into a single republic! As for Winston Churchill, well that man was the doyen of misinformation dating from 1920 and his 'Bad Jew' creation of the Illuminati conspiracy, to his WWII hiring of Sefton Delmer who created a vast phantom broadcasting network. Telling the truth and selling the truth are two different things.

As Larry Hancock explained in detail on this Forum the other day in response to a similar issue, there were many operational names covering Cuba that began back with Eisenhower. The 'Special Group' was surpassed by the 'Special Group (Augmented)', and that is what I have been drawing attention to. It was chaired by Bobby Kennedy.

Some files about Gordon McLendon have been available for quite awhile. Which files are you referring to?

We knew nothing about the relationship between the activities of Don Pierson of Eastland, Texas and the murder of JFK, even though we worked with Don Pierson and he gave us his financial and legal files relating to his own activities between 1964 and 1968 relating to his dealings with McLendon and ship broadcasting. Then Gary Murr drew our attention to one connection via Mary Ferrell documents, and then Larry Hancock expanded upon it in his book. We began to yawn and then take a look. This was very late in the day after others had written thousands of pages about the events of November 22, and November 23, 1963. We followed the hints provided by Murr and Hancock and gradually a huge library of information began to emerge after Bill Weaver's widow and daughter sent us his unpublished manuscripts. Bill Weaver was Gordon McLendon's National Sales Manager; Manager of McLendon's KILT in Houston, Texas and the person assigned by Gordon McLendon's father to go to Sweden and shut down a CIA operation in the Baltic Sea called 'Radio Nord'. Those clues opened a wealth of information from other sources not in the clutches of the US Government and its agencies. That is how our own interests began to refocus on the murder of JFK. I have personally driven over that "X" spot many times. I broadcast over the Dallas Times Herald radio stations (plural), and visited "that" museum. I had no idea then of what I would later come to learn and how a totally different kind of investigation ignored by everyone else, has led me here, to this forum. When I first began posting here I did not know what I now know and a lot of information I had seemed to make no sense and others were not interested in because the connections were not apparent. Now, even the day I was sitting in my office working on a new project that was chaired by Don Pierson has suddenly regained my attention. That was the day in the 1980s when a stranger walked through the office front door. He was introduced to me. The name of this stranger is Bill Colby, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and he was in our office at Don Pierson's request to discuss Don Pierson's involvement in Haiti.

No, nothing personal at all. I am not interested in your mother's whereabouts as you seem to think I am. But here you are once more talking about "may provide clues", and you might as well be talking about De Mohrenschildt ordering a strawberry shake from a Dairy Queen. What has that got to do with Don Pierson and Haiti?

How? Where?

Joe, the reason for the silence is boredom and boring rehashed stories do not gain audiences and therefore they do not sell commercial airtime for big bucks. What is wanted is new material. I have some new material.

Leslie, you are continuing to ramble and I have absolutely no interest in your ramblings. I don't recall anything about your mother and even is she did live "off and on in Eastland", so did the road sweeper and the girls at Dairy Queen. So what? What has any of that got to do with the ship mv Olga Patricia? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Next you will be telling us about why your small home in Santa Fe (I have seen your pictures) is so full of folders. No doubt it so that you can tell us all of these rambling stories unrelated to ships and shipping. You have NO "responsibility" to challenge the theory that Marcello "Did it" and there is NO connection between Marcello and the Olga Patricia. None. As for your statement about Baltimore and the rest of your sentence, it's a ramble that just gets sillier by the moment. I don't want to engage in this time waster. Unless you want to address the documented account of the ship known to be Olga Patricia, I have no desire at all to respond any further to your responses. If you have documentation about the Olga Patricia, or the other vessels I alluded to, or a direct connection between Don Pierson and De Mohrenschildt regarding Papa Doc and Haiti, I want to hear about it and see the documents. If you don't, I suggest you waste the time of David Von Pein who has his own evangelistic cult concerning a magic bullet and a lone gunman named Lee Harvey Oswald that he would like to tell you about. But I am not interested.

Leslie, posting irrelevant rubbish drives people away. If you have documented evidence please post it, but your long posts are full of guilt by association which is meaningless drivel. By documented evidence, I mean investigative reporting of the kind undertaken by Gary Murr. He originally contacted us after reading what we already knew and did not know. Gary pointed us in the right direction. Larry Hancock has also been a tremendous help, and his book 'Shadow Warriors' is worth buying and reading. Larry does his homework. Larry also credits Gary Murr for his contributions. I credit both of them because they were of great help in solving the question of where the Olga Patricia came from. Court documents revealed where it went after Don Pierson and Haiti. I am sorry if this is harsh, but if only gossip appears on this forum then it loses its importance and relevance.

Note the crude lettering imposed on the picture. This is not a true representation. Also note the objects on the deck (sans main mast which seems to have been edited out). This picture appears to belong to the era of Operation Mongoose before Don Pierson got hold of it, and the the objects on the deck may be the helium tanks used for inflating high altitude balloons used to drop propaganda on the island of Cuba, while the ship was operating from the safe waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Unfortunately you have switched topics by turning one ship into another ship.

David, there is nothing that I have seen having validity, which supports the idea that the Olga Patricia changed its name to Joanne. By assuming that these vessels are one and the same you are laying down a false trail for others to follow.

Incidentally, Arkurius II is one of a series of bogus names for the Olga Patricia, and after the ship was grabbed by the US Marshals and resold after the transmitters had been removed, it was bought by a fishing fleet who reconfigured the vessel by shortening its length. It was eventually scrapped completely.

Leslie this is more 'kitchen sink' stuff. It has no connectivity whatsoever. I have the documentation to support everything I have written and a little bit of which I have reported here. By chucking so much irrelevant stuff on to this thread at every turn, you are not helping but confusing the issue. The ONLY people who added to this story at the very beginning are Gary Murr and Larry Hancock - especially with reference to his book called 'Shadow Warriors'. My associates are currently working on the publication of three interconnected volumes in which this story and a lot more will be documented. However, there are very specific gaps in our knowledge, some of which I have outlined, and that is why I welcome additional details, but please, no more of this "A" knows "B" and "B" knows "C", therefore "A" knows "C" - it's guilt by association and it is rubbish!

Gerry, a number of people have previously asked this question, and at this moment in time, I don't think that they are one and the same ships. The first problem is timing. The CIA involvement via BAM (Manuel Artime Buesa) is a documented (CIA Memoranda) fact, and it is available at Mary Ferrell. I have two maritime mortgages for this ship when it was financed via the same bank that Manuel Artime used in South Miami. According to the CIA records, they obtained it from a USAF pen in South Miami. The reason that the USAF had custody of it is because it was equipped to carry high-altitude helium balloons over Cuba and release their contents - which included printed propaganda and objects that the ordinary Cuban citizen could retrieve. I also have the actual blueprint when the ship was later obtained from BAM sources and it reflects the time that its keel was laid down. The ship had a strange history since it was built as a supply vessel during WWII for the US Army. The ship then gained a name indicating that it had been used for commercial cargos. Lloyd's Registry is a hopeless source of information because it got its information from the owners of the ships, and in this instance it was fed with bogus information because for a time it was listed at the mv Olga Princess when no such vessel existed. The BAM phase relates to Operation Mongoose and I have a LOT of documented information about this phase. Then JFK was assassinated and Operation Mongoose was terminated. What the Olga Patricia (true name) did during most of 1964 into 1965 is still a mystery. Then Don Pierson of Eastland, Texas got hold of it with help from associates connected to US Senator John Tower of Wichita Falls. Don Pierson contracted with Continental Manufacturing of Dallas (who also have a very tangled and murky originating history going back to Kansas and the 'goat gland' doctor who broadcast from Mexico on the Texas border prior to WWII. That history ties back to Fort Worth and the birth of broadcasting with WBAP. The Olga Patricia arrived off south-east England in 1966 just as the UK was passing a law to stop offshore commercial broadcasting. It came into effect on August 14, 1967. Originally there were to be two fully automated 50,000 watt stations on board. One of them went 'live' as 'Swinging Radio England', a hodge-podge format with screaming Southern US 'boss jocks' backed by echo and PAMS jingles. It was a disaster. The other station was also automated as 'Britain Radio' - the 'hallmark of quality' listening. (The so-called 'Beautiful Music' format.) In November 1966 Radio England signed off as a financial loss and it was replaced by a succession of formats and names. The same thing also happened to 'Britain Radio'. Its main sponsor was Herbert W. Armstrong twice a day, seven days a week. That is when the ship became the Laissez Faire for a time. The Texas investors cut their losses before the August law came into effect, and they gave Don Pierson power of attorney to sell the radio ship. Pierson wrote and received letters from many governments including the US 'Voice of America' who had operated a radio ship off Rhodes from 1952 to 1964. There were no positive takers except for one: Papa Doc of Haiti where George De Mohrenschildt and Clint Murchison had also ventured with other ventures. Don Pierson offered to set up a Haitian broadcasting school on one of the stations and a kind of 'Voice of Haiti' (like Radio Havana) on the other station. The ship itself was now to known again as Olga Patricia and it would anchored off the island of Tortuga where Pierson hoped to establish a freeport like the Bahamas. All that went "pear shaped." Instead, while the freeport venture went ahead (for a time), the ship was impounded by US Marshals in Miami. A sale took place and the transmitters were returned to Continental Electronics who resold them to two different radio stations bordering South Africa. Then the Olga Patricia gained a 'flip chart' of many names (depending upon who was asking), and another expat Cuban group tied to Collins Radio ('Rex' of Bay of Pigs infamy), got involved. The ship started shooting up coastal areas of Cuba and killed a schoolteacher. Fidel Castro then started seizing cargo ship tied to the US, while denouncing (by name and owner), the Olga Patricia and CIA. This strange history is tied to Pierson's first venture called 'Radio London' which was put together by a CIA-Mafia lawyer in Chicago with ties to the Bahamas. Pierson had based the 'Big L' (with PAMS jingles) on McLendon's KLIF. McLendon participated. The background to that was McLendon and his 'Radio Nord' in the Baltic on a ship which also had name changes and eventually became mv Mi Amigo. McLendon also bought half of the prototype Radio Mercur broadcasting to both Denmark and southern Sweden with help from General Samosa of Nicaragua who provided the flags of convenience. In a very brief outline that is the story of the Olga Patricia. I do not believe that it was part of the Bay of Pigs invasion since its purchase and use by the CIA via Artime is well documented.

Exactly! So now you know how the true story has been blocked. The enthusiasm shown by authors of omnibus JFK collections, such as the one by David Von Pein, is a case in point. I doubt if anyone can top his amazing collection.

No, I tell the truth.

It has become rapidly apparent that most people posting here are not trying to assist in discovering the truth about the murder of JFK, they are aiding and abetting deception by dragging in the kitchen sink of irrelevant material in order to preserve their human gods which have become a religious cult. The Kennedys deceit opened the door to LBJ's blatant war-mongering for profit by his cronies running the military-industrial complex. It was only when young men became increasingly ground-up as cannon fodder that LBJ was forced to quit his occupation as President of the USA. But the stage for the LBJ bloodbath was prepared by the Kennedy brothers using deceit and misinformation. The Kennedys did not want to destroy the CIA, they tried to take over the CIA and use it for their own war-mongering purposes. In retrospect, long after JFK was dead, the story started to emerge that JFK wanted to destroy the CIA, but in reality, the nepotistic JFK used his own brother Bobby to take-over the CIA under the obscure title of 'Special Group (Augmented)'. Now watch the JFK-RFK god-lovers denounce this blasphemy (as they will interpret it!)

"George De M was definitely a "Man Of Mystery. Including being an impulsive adventure, woman and dollar chasing rogue?" Joe, in 1943 he married a Dorothy Pierson in Florida and she divorced him soon afterwards. So far I have not been able to establish any family links between Dorothy Pierson and Don Pierson, but it is very interesting that the paths of George De Mohrenschildt and Don Pierson both went through Papa Doc and Haiti. Clint Murchison also had business interests there a,nd for a time part of the long term CIA attack plan using Cuban expats was a new invasion of Cuba proceeded by air raids taking off from Haiti.

Leslie, I think that you just want to argue with me for the sake of arguing. I have made made viewpoint very clear and in several responses. This will be my last in this exchange.
