Jacques Foccart, after Anatoly Golitsyn's defection to CIA came under suspicion of French intelligence due to his relationship with a Czech named Saar, who was naturalised French after the war under the name of Demichel. Demichel was involved in many business deals with the Soviets, who bought through him most of the industrial equipment they were getting from Western Europe. The close relationship between one of de Gaulle's most trusted aides and a man of indeterminate extraction doing most of his business with Moscow certainly seemed strange. Interestingly, the KGB false defector Yuri Nosenko in a meeting with CIA in 1962 made this interesting comment:- "Gribanov himself", (referring to the chief of the Second Chief Directorate, Oleg Gribanov), "is dealing with an important French businessman. The guys name is Saar Demichel. He lives in Paris and has a lot of business with the Soviet Union." I would suspect this comment from Nosenko as being another provocation for Western intelligence. Jacques Foccart also helped to create the Department Protection Security (DPS), security organization of the far-right Front National party led by Jean-Marie Le Pen, so he certainly was not a witting collaborator of the Communists.

After answering a request from Canadian researcher (& Forum member) John Kowalski asking for a D.P.U.K. member to assist in his work on Albert Osborne, I located a living member of Osborne's family in Grimsby, England. Another Forum member, Ron Ecker, had also done much research on Osborne. (Ron has been missing from this Forum over recent years and I miss his humour, which seems lacking at times in posts today!) In 2020, during Covid restrictions, I presented to JFK Lancer's virtual N.I.D., with kind permission from J.K. Certainly not unique, but I presented a copy of Osborne's 13th April '64 typed letter to his family refuting his bus travel to M.C. with L.H.O. Also refuting the nonsense written in books such as 'Appointment in Dallas' & Torbitt's 'Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal', Sprague's 'The Taking of America' & Ramsey's 'Who Shot JFK'. I also presented evidence from former staff of the 'Cambridge News' who were employed at the paper in '63, who considered the claim of the famous anonymous phone call to "contact the American Embassy in London for some big news" as completely fictitious. It was John Kowalski who first uncovered the fact of the real John Howard Bowen's death in January of 1962 from injuries sustained in a car accident. John's work has also been published on K's & K website.

👌No probs John.

I think we can include Mr Little (Malcolm X) in the above list. Compelling evidence points to Dakota doorman, Jose Joaquin Sanjenis Perdomo, as Lennon’s killer. Records reveal a “Jose Joaquin Sanjenis Perdomo” (aliases: “Joaquin Sanjenis” and “Sam Jenis”) was an anti-Castro Cuban exile and member of Brigade 2506 during the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961, a failed CIA operation to overthrow Fidel Castro. Perdomo was a professional hit man who worked closely with convicted Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis (deceased) for about ten years on the CIA’s payroll. • Jose Perdomo was the doorman at the Dakota on Dec. 8, 1980, the night Lennon was killed. • Jose Perdomo was at the crime scene when the murder occurred. 'Buried in Plain Sight' by John Hunt really goes to town in attacking Thomas Noguchi's autopsy. First I've heard this. I was under the impression there was no autopsy and the body was quickly cremated. Are autopsies required by law in NY murder cases?

Anthony, I seem to recall that Bresler's book was originally published as 'Who Killed John Lennon' & soon after re-titled 'The Murder of John Lennon'. Both titles are still available on Amazon U.K.

'Legacy of Ashes-History of CIA'

Nah Pam, not so. Back In the U.S.S.R., the Ukraine girls really knock me out, they leave the West behind. Marina was a prostitute for KGB, she was directed to Oswald, who fell in love and married her. She was a reluctant spy for Minsk KGB to report on the American defector. It is apparent that she hit on Robert Webster too. Even though Lee & Marina had KGB links in Minsk, both severed these links on their arrival in U.S. Lee had completed his 'dangle' and Marina wanted out of the poverty.

Is it rolling Bob? According to senior staff officers from the Minsk KGB Counterintelligence School & Department 1 of the 2nd Chief Directorate H.Q., ex-marine Lee Harvey Oswald was an agent of the KGB, and was one before he met his future wife, Marina. The Minsk Ukrainian KGB had recruited Marina as a 'swallow' (Soviet female prostitute) for use in sexual entrapment operations. Marina was directed against Oswald, who fell in love with her, when he was living in Minsk. (CIA Counterintelligence Information Report. RIF: 104-10014-10056.)

Ron, Newman's latest works were sketched out to be a 4 Vol. set. 'Armageddon' was to be Vol. IV, but because of some mind blowing research, J.N. has inserted 'Exposing Popov's Mole' as Vol. IV and re-scheduled 'Armageddon' to Vol. V. To be honest, I've found the series a slow boiler with Vols. I, II & III. I reckon anyone partially conversant with JFKA can dive into Vol. IV easily. I've been putting together a Powerpoint & MS Word presentation on Angleton for a DPUK seminar in June & discovered that now, much that I have written from Weiner, Mangold & Morley has to be altered, or, completely re-written. That's a game changer!

Yes, Ron most intriguing. I am reading Newman's 'Uncovering Popov's Mole' and finding it another 'game changer'. If readers have not got this edition (not really necessary to have Vols. I, II and III) it is a must read! The work of Newman, with Uncle Malcolm & the late Pete Bagley, explains so much. Angleton's paranoia of a mole high up in CIA is confirmed and exposed. Also, new revelations of LHO in Minsk and confirmation that Marina was a KGB 'swallow'. Nosenko was provocation and so much more. Don't want to give too much of the game away, but I strongly recommend study of this publication to everyone who has not caught up with this.

Gerry, The MUST read on this is Newman's 'Uncovering Popov's Mole'. It explains EVERYTHING.

Yes Michael, that's the pic in 'Nightmare in Dallas'.

🤣Absolutely Bob! The whole scenario is a comedy routine! Also include the ridiculous paper bag sketch. Lee manages to extract a roll of paper from the wrapping station in the Depository without Dougherty seeing him do it, and Dougherty known to never leave his workplace. So, does Lee stuff this crinkly paper up his shirt when getting driven over to Irving by Frazier on Thursday? "What's that crunchy sound under your shirt Lee?" Yet Lee manages to conceal and then design and put together this creased and crumpled paper into a smooth pristine bag in the Paine garage in the evening without notice of Marina and Ruth. Not just the paper, but tape as well. But NO! The tape used from the Depository meant that Lee must have constructed the bag on the premises, sometime on Thursday, again without being seen. CE142 shows no oil or indication of heavy metal objects having been contained within. Nor is it daubed with Lee's finger dabs all over it. Nor is it initially spotted around the 'sniper's nest' by DPD and Sheriff Dept., searchers. Cue the Monty Python music.

D.P.U.K. were given Janet Groden's e-mail address to request purchase of 'Absolute Proof' here:- janetclair29@gmail.com

Just posted on D.P.U.K.'s You Tube channel here:-

Yes Michael, all this is contained in 'Nightmare in Dallas' and a photograph of Beverley & Larry Ronco too. I have met & talked with Beverley for around an hour some years back. My impression was she was sincere and truthful, going off body language. Having said that, I would want to get Ronco to confirm. Even then, at the end of the day, the alleged film is gone, so my take on this has always been that the whole story is another rabbit hole even if we believe Bev, or we don't.

October '62 David. Yes, I'm sure LeMay was of the opinion that the missiles in Cuba should have been taken out by U.S.A.F. I believe initially that was also the opinion of RFK too. But, evidence for LeMay attempting to organise a coup against JFK with the JCS is proving elusive. Just short of my tenth birthday, over here in England, I was scared too!

OK Michael, that's interesting.

Certainly agree Paul, I think JFK was more wary of CIA as well as JCS, and as Douglass documents, he was also avoiding his State Department. I think he was like Custer at Little Big Horn. Surrounded. In case you missed my 'edit' to above post from 'Mission with LeMay' :- "It shall suffice to say that I did not hold many of the same views held by Secretary McNamara with regard to our military posture, and do not agree with many of the acts or attitudes of the Administration. In the Pentagon I carried out every order issued to me to the best of my ability. There never occurred an instance in which I rebelled. I am a professional soldier and airman, and professional soldiers and airmen obey orders. At the same time, there was another obligation inherent in the job. It was required that I give my candid opinion to the Congress when asked to do so. This I did. I gave my candid opinion to the Secretary of Defense, or to the President himself-all three Presidents under whom I served during those years. Any time they asked me for a straight answer, they got it. Sometimes my answers did not happen to coincide with the opinions held by the Administration. Often, in such cases, various writers who turned out to be foes of the Air Force, or personal detractors of LeMay, would contrive many paragraphs in which I was accused of bearding Mr McNamara in his lair, or going all-out to scuttle the White House policies in order to achieve, perhaps, personal vainglory; or even to put myself into candidacy as a future military dictator. The military will never take over the Government in the United States. Civilian control is part and parcel of our Democratic system."

Indeed. I question how Beverley, a nightclub singer at the time, got hold of a prototype Yashica Super 8 movie camera. All unexplained. Maybe I should have asked her when we met in 2013. I do have a photograph of Beverley giving me a hug and kiss at the Lancer conference in Dallas. 😃

To complete my odyssey in pursuit of author Tom O'Neill's profound quote, in above post, that appears in his book 'Chaos'. Just a couple of weeks after I posted above, Mr O'Neill did reply & advised I get hold of 'Mission With LeMay' (1965) by LeMay & MacKinlay Kantor. After waiting a few weeks for delivery from the States, I have finally completed ALL of O'Neill's references to the 'Coup' passage. Nowhere in any of the three books, i.e. 'In a Time of Torment' by I.F. Stone. 'LeMay: The Life & Wars of General Curtis LeMay' by Warren Kozak. 'Mission with LeMay: My Story' by Curtis LeMay & MacKinlay Kantor, is there anything resembling organising a coup against Kennedy among the Joint Chiefs of Staff etc. P553 in 'Mission with LeMay actually states:- "It shall suffice to say that I did not hold many of the same views held by Secretary McNamara with regard to our military posture, and do not agree with many of the acts or attitudes of the Administration. In the Pentagon I carried out every order issued to me to the best of my ability. There never occurred an instance in which I rebelled. I am a professional soldier and airman, and professional soldiers and airmen obey orders. At the same time, there was another obligation inherent in the job. It was required that I give my candid opinion to the Congress when asked to do so. This I did. I gave my candid opinion to the Secretary of Defense, or to the President himself-all three Presidents under whom I served during those years. Any time they asked me for a straight answer, they got it. Sometimes my answers did not happen to coincide with the opinions held by the Administration. Often, in such cases, various writers who turned out to be foes of the Air Force, or personal detractors of LeMay, would contrive many paragraphs in which I was accused of bearding Mr McNamara in his lair, or going all-out to scuttle the White House policies in order to achieve, perhaps, personal vainglory; or even to put myself into candidacy as a future military dictator. The military will never take over the Government in the United States. Civilian control is part and parcel of our Democratic system." Just goes to show that not only can you not believe everything you read in the papers, but books as well.

FWIW Groden says he interviewed Marina and she stated that the photographs she took of Lee in the backyard were taken in the opposite direction to the extant pictures in evidence!

Jonathan, I never post on "Zapruder film is fake" threads, although I do read. I'm no film tech. But, yes, there are a number of topics from Groden's Zoom presentation that I thought may provoke a response from researchers.

K.K., Always a pleasure to update the Forum on what's happening in U.K. I wasn't able to Zoom in on the original meet due to having a ticket for a Manchester United game. So after my catch-up on You Tube there were a number of points that I thought researchers on this Forum may comment on. The Spainhouer film along with daughter Chana's input a case in point. Personally, I have never come across any serious discussion of this film. Groden infers Spainhouer's position somewhere in the vicinity of the 'supposed Badgeman', he also infers the use of a heavy tripod. The evidence is zilch. No pictures or statements from witnesses to seeing anyone who could fit. Unless all these figures disappeared into vehicle trunks in the GN parking area. I also had never heard of Oswald's Parkland operating room being recorded on film.
