Tim Gratz Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I am sure at least half the members who took time to read the Frontpage article were just waiting for me to insert a post to the effect "I told you so" but of course such sarcasm would be below me.

Tim Gratz Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Kidding aside, it is interesting to note that the gentleman states that he is certain that Nosenko was a bona fide defector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not. Such garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Gratz Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 So, Dawn, I read that as your acknowledgment that what Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa says is correct. Too bad you could not catch the tongue-in-cheek nature of my post but I do admit it was a bit sophisticated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Knight Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I read Dawn's post as a comment on your statement that "of course such sarcasm would be below me." In other words, I took it to mean that Dawn thought that "such sarcasm" was NOT beneath you...without comment on the information found on the link. And if I took Dawn's comments as they were meant, I tend to agree with her...based upon your posts of the past several years. But enough about you [and me]...let's keep the discussion on course.

Tim Gratz Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) As it should be, Mark. You know what one could perhaps anologize Lt. Gen. Pacepa's remarks and books to? The alleged death bed confession of E. Howard Hunt which implicated high level CIA officers in the assassination. Pacepa, however, is far more credible than Hunt ever was so it may be a bad analogy. Pacepa's statements merit seruous evaluation. It is not clear to me from that interview whether he claims personal knowledge of Soviet complity in the assassination or if he is merely basing his evaluation on his knowledge of how Communist intelligence operated. If the former, he has either solved the case or he is a xxxx. If the latter, I guess what he says could be dismissed under the rubric that everyone is entitled to his opinion. What is interesting however is that he very clearly claims personal knowledge of a sophisticated communist disinformation campaign that started almost before the bullets stopped flying to blame the assassination on U.S. intelligence and he offers examples of how it worked. That would be Operation Безперевода. Edited October 4, 2007 by Tim Gratz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ecker Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 That strikes me as a quite incompetent interview. Two things I was waiting for were not deemed worthy of even asking about: the motive for assassinating JFK, and what Jack Ruby had to do with the KGB.

Tim Gratz Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 IMO Ron is correct. The interviewer pitched him a lot of softballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Kelly Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I'm caught in a logical conundrum... how can you put stock in the information provided by an expert in disinformation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen Collins Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I'm caught in a logical conundrum... how can you put stock in the information provided by an expert in disinformation? I agree with you. Do you still dance? Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Kelly Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Kathleen: I don't get that response as much as I used to... and if I had a dollar for every time, well you know the rest. Funny story, my wife and I are taking dance lessons recently, and when all the couples introduced themselves, our instructor (after hearing my name) said she had waited for this moment all of her life.

Tim Gratz Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 About eight years ago I attended the wedding in Key West of Michael Jackson. I sat at a table with Debbie Reynolds. Needless to say . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Kelly Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 About eight years ago I attended the wedding in Key West of Michael Jackson. I sat at a table with Debbie Reynolds. Needless to say . . . Tim: This is an absolutely true story. I had an interview in NYC in the mid-70's and found myself in an elevator (in the financial district, in a high rise) alone with Doris Day. As a dumbstruck young guy, I resorted to the stupid line of "you're Doris Day"... very affably, she said yes, and then asked me what my name was. I thought for a second, then my floor was reached and the doors opened...so as not to seem a wise guy, I replied "...you wouldn't believe me if I told you" and left the car.
