  1. Mark,

    I concur. Bill has pointed out errors in my observations before and was quite pleasant about it. I'm sure David and I have exchanged information on at least one thread in the past.

    I find it quite disconcerting that this sort of carry on occurs on a quite important thread, given that the symposium organised is designed to bring the JFK assassination to the publics attention.

  2. Mark johansen posted a video from the dutch documentary centering around James Files, in it Robert Groden was interviewed.

    Groden says that he has a book coming out in which he names the location of JFKs brain.

    Does anybody know anything more about the book?

  3. Bruce,

    Do you know if Jeff is at all confident on the ruling? He was playing his cards close to his chest on the mary Ferrell website.

    This could be a landmark case against the CIA's retention on documentation and could possibly open it up to media scrutiny, due to the fact that Jeff works for the Washington post online, he may have a few friends that be willing to publicise this.

    To anybody else reading this I must say that the interview is well worth a listen, I put them on my ipod and go for a walk, killing two birds with the one stone.

  4. I had just finished listening to Jim Lessar and Jefferson Morleys interview on the Mary Ferrell sit and was about to start a thread asking what the outcome of the legal case was, what a coincidence.

    Would anybody be able to record this press conference and upload it to the net? If someone can record it I will be able to upload it for all to see as I see it as a particularly important matter. George Joaniddes being a very interestng charatcer and possibly pivotal in the cover-up.

    Once again if anybody gets a copy of the conference I will upload it for all to see.

    All the best,

    John

    I found this on page 182 of the forum, well worth a read.

    Found what?

    Dixie, thanx for the interview. Wish there were more

    by the family of Lee. One would think they would be more anxious to try to

    clear his name. Tho I have been told that both daughters have been burned

    by certain people in the critical communiity, so no wonder they are a bit gunshy.

    When I was reading the interview with June and she made the comment abouty getting the

    call from someone who had written a song at first I was a little jarred. I had a conversation like that with her in about 88. I did not call in the middle of the night however and I did not say I wished to sing my song to her. But she was not too happy that I had found her and at that moment in time was not interested in

    discussing her dad.

    Hi dawn,

    By found it I meant that I was looking back through the forum pages and this was posted first in 2004 so I decided to bring it back up to peoples attention,

    All the best,

  6. I too held these suspicions a few months ago and I subsequently bought the book 'Iron Eagle, The turbulent life of General Curtis Lemay' by Thomas Coffey, published 1986.

    I must confess that it still sits on my 'to do' pile.

    It might be worth investigating. It was on the bestsellers list so it should be quite cheap.

  7. Dan,

    Thank you for the comment. Are you aware of the fact that this August there will be an exhibition of the photographic work of Harry Benson. In this exhibition is a photo of Senator Kennedy slumped after the shooting. As well as many others I would very much like to see this new photo that has (to my knowledge) never been seen.

    See here the forum thread about the photo

    http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=6796

    and here is the listing for the exhibition at the national portrait gallery in Scotland. Click on upcoming exhibitions.

    http://www.natgalscot.ac.uk/index.asp?cent...asp?gallery=2-b

    I must add that you also took part in the documentary 'Unsolved History: The assassination of Robert Kennedy'.

    This was an excellent reconstruction of the shooting and covered all the angles (no pun intended).

    Who produced this programme and who, besides yourself, were the contributors?

    If anyone has the opportunity to view this programme I thoroughly reccommend it.

    See the thread here, http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=5955

    Dan, do you accept the possibility of some of the scenarios played out in this programme?

    All the best,

    John Geraghty

  8. John,

    What would you make of a protected thread created for a debate between two members representing both LN and conspiracy believers.

    I have been trying to come up with a good way to have an debate online, but can not find anything that would fit a timeframe of say an hour or so and provide sufficient time for both sides to put forward a detailed argument. By debate I mean of course a discussion between two opposing sides, a chairperson and an adjudicator.

    Would Kenneth Rahn et al find this more acceptable do you think?

  9. I have found a document in Spanish that mentions Mario Tauler Sague, I assume that it is in relation to his efforts to kill Castro in 1960. If anybody speaks Spanish could you please do me a favour?

    Unsa de sus acciones consistio en la infiltracio por la zona de Punta Hicacos, Matanzas a mediados de 1960, de los apatridas mario tauler Sague y Armando Cubria Ramos, quienes ha biendo recibido entrenamiento de la C.I.A. cumplirian la mision de atentar contra la vida del comandante en jefe y realizar distintas actividades de sabotaje.

    http://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/jfk/hsca...3_Narration.pdf

    It can be found on page 24 of this document, which also details goward hunts activity in mexico.

    Any help would be great,

    I put this into an internet translater and it gave me this semi- digested piece.

    Unsa of its actions consistio in infiltracio by the zone of Hicacos End, Slaughters in the middle of 1960, of the apatridas ones mario tauler Sague and Armando Cubria Branches, that it is biendo received training of the C.I.A. cumplirian the mission to attempt against the life of the Commander-in-Chief and to make different activities from sabotage

  10. i found this piece from an italian article while googling. I can get the jist of it, can anyone translate it for me?

    Gli agenti della CIA Armando Cubría Ramos e Mario Tauler Sagué, diretti da Miami da Eladio del Valle Gutiérrez (anche lui dell’Agenzia), si infiltrarono nel 1960 attraverso la costa nord della provincia di Matanzas per assassinare Fidel. Scoperti e perseguiti, vennero catturati e le armi, granate, detonatori e telecomandi che portavano con sè confiscati

    The entire article can be found here http://www.granma.cu/italiano/2006/abril/jue13/giron-it.html

    Pedro Diaz lanz, Sturgis, and a few others get a mention in there also, in reference to what, I don't know.

    Here it is in Spanish.

  11. But 6 pounds sounds like it might be somewhat steep

    Indeed it does, if I had a trust fund I would be dipping into it.

    I will attempt to contact the photographer and make an attempt to get an early release of the photo, extremely unlikely but worth a go.

    John

    Mr.Benson appears to be quite interested in the Kennedys, having snaped them on several occasions.

  12. For a few more comments and thoughts on Saul, see this thread on the forum,  from some time back.

    http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.ph...ic=1116&hl=saul

    Fellow Forum member Justin Martell tells us that a law enforcement guru by the name of Hugh McDonald has tracked down the man in the Mexico city photos and claims to have spoken to him. Further, McDonald claims that the man is called Saul.

    According to Martell, this information is available in the book titled "Coincidence or Conspiracy?"

    It seems that now two separate sources identify this man as Saul Sage (Sague). I believe the Yuriy Ivanovitch Moskalev story is a CIA disinformation attempt, merely because "there ain't nothin' Russian about the way that fellow looks".

    Antti, I think you're confused on this info. The name "Saul" was given to the mystery man by Hugh McDonald in his book "Appointment in Dallas." McDonald was a former Los Angeles County Chief of Detectives and claimed a relationship with military intelligence and the CIA. Hemming's calling this man "Saul" is just him being cute. "Saul" was not his real name. McDonald did indeed claim to have tracked down the man and to have spoken with him. The story recounted by Saul is not all that believable, however. There is reference to McDonald in the HSCA's report on De Mohrenschildt, indicating that McDonald did indeed conduct his own investigation and that his story is not all b.s. McDonald eventually came to theorize that LBJ cut a deal with Russian hard-liners, and that the Russians, with Oswald's Mexico City travel companion Albert Osborne as operative, set up the assassination. I think McDonald was well-intentioned but was misled by "Saul" and some of his CIA contacts.

    I was just browsing this thread again when I came upon Pats post here. I just want to say that I have just finished reading this book and nowhere in it did I read a part saying that LBJ cut a deal with the Russians. McDonald does not in fact speculate as to wh ordered the assassination.

    I think Pat may have been mistaken or thought of a different book.

    I posted this just in case someone stumbled upon this thread in the future.

  13. From the Lancer Newsletter

    "Benson’s first solo exhibition in Scotland, which will be displayed at the National Portrait Gallery before transferring to the Smithsonian Institute in the United States later this year, includes images of [Robert] Kennedy as he slumped to the ground, the senator’s wife Ethel screaming and the shocked crowd watching the assassination unfold."

    A photo of RFK "as he slumped"?? That's news to me.

    John Hunt

    I was also intrigued by this when I read it. This might warrant a day trip to Scotland to see what all the fuss is about, I might try to get a copy or a print of the photo. I'm sure some of the UK based members would be interested in seeing it.

  14. When I saw the title of this post I immediately presumed that the content would read,

    'Gerald Posner, author of Case Closed has agreed to discuss his book on the forum'

    That would have been entertaining, I wonder how long he would stick around if he did join.
