Hugh G. Aynesworth and the Assassination of JFK

Hugh was treated with respect in Big D for one main reason:  that city has been in denial about what happened there in 1963 from the time it occurred.

I mean just look at what they wanted to do with the TSBD, there was once a movement to raze it.

Look at the whole Bello corporation and what they did at the 50th, a true disgrace.

Hugh had been covering up and fabricating stuff since just about the beginning.

As I wrote, he was essentially blackmailing the Warren Commission while it was in progress.

As I also noted, he said on public TV that his job was to maintain the Oswald myth.  What kind of reporter says that kind of thing.  Then Gus Russo puts him on the Jennings special in 2003.

 

As a consumer of Texas media, I can tell you that the Dallas Media Morons are almost unanimous in pushing the narrative that a lone nut killed JFK. This propaganda stream is delivered across the political spectrum from right wing radio host Mark Davis to every reporter - and I mean every single of them - at the Dallas Morning News to columnist Bud Kennedy at the Fort Worth Star Telegram to the magazine for rich people called D Magazine to the so-called "alternative" weekly the Dallas Observer to the PBS station KERA to TV station WFAA to every faculty member from Southern Methodist University who is called up by a Dallas Media Moron to comment on the JFK assassination.

Nicola Longford, the executive director of the Sixth Floor Museum is a hard core lone nutter and does everything she can to push that narrative. Stephen Fagin, the curator, in my personal opinion, is a closet "conspiracy theorist" but he does not dare to make a peep because Fagin knows he will be fired if he started telling truth about the JFK assassination.

The "Rich People of Dallas," the social and political elites who own the media and run the town are to this day in 2024 hardcore committed to the coverup on the JFK assassination. This means Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, journalists (TV, print, radio), academics and politicians.

The little people of Dallas know better though - just talk to someone who is not rich or who is not a journalist (a journalist is a servant in a rich man's castle).

Yes, absolutely, the city of Dallas is in the year 2024, hardcore denial about the JFK assassination. Their media's propping up Hugh Aynesworth is good example of this denial in action.

That is sickening, to name an award after this FBI/CIA asset.

Rachel R told me that even though KERA is supposed to be part of public TV, Hugh must have been on it over a dozen times.  

Makes you want to throw up your hands in disgust.

Here is another article about good old Hugh.  

This one is even more extensive than mine.

Here's another good example of Mr. DiEugenio's extreme serious lack of scholarship and accountability. 

He quotes a highly questionable source to continue his despicable vile grave dancing antics. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/covertaction-magazine-bias/

From media bias fact check:

Overall, we rate CovertAction Magazine Left-Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, propaganda, poor sourcing, lack of transparency, numerous false claims, and failed fact checks. (M. Huitsing 08/30/2023)

Bottom line here, Mr. DiEugenio has served up more double whoppers than a Topeka, Kansas Burger King.

D Magazine, which is the mouthpiece for the social and money elites of Dallas, caught up with Hugh Aynesworth for their November, 1976 issue on the JFK assassination:

https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/1976/november/thirteen-years-after/

QUOTE

Hugh Aynesworth is now an investigative reporter for the Dallas Times Herald, but in 1963 he was working for the Dallas News covering the events of that November weekend. He is thought by some to be one of the most knowledgeable reporters in the country on the subject of the assassination. He was at the Book Depository right after Kennedy was shot and he was at the Texas Theatre when Oswald was captured. The following Sunday he was in the basement of the city jail when Oswald was killed. Aynesworth has received threats over the years because of his interest in the investigation but he really doesn’t like to talk about the assassination much any more, saying he’s “kind of sick” of the whole thing. Still, people keep in touch with him about it, including Eva Grant and Earl Ruby, Jack’s sister and brother. The Ruby family even asked him to be a pallbearer at Jack’s funeral, but Aynesworth refused. Aynesworth says he was offered $75,000 once to write a book about a conspiracy but he turned it down because he didn’t believe there was one. How about a book he considers fair and objective? “It would be such an exhaustive undertaking and I wouldn’t want to tackle it unless it was done well. I guess I’m just too lazy.”

Regards the letter to Jim Garrison that was linked by Robert Morrow:

 

Are there any claims by "anybody credible" that corroborate the statements in the letter that Ainsworth had sex with Marina and that Marina told Aynesworth that she and Ruth Paine had engaged in Lesbian sex?

 

And why would Marina Oswald threaten to kill Hugh Aynesworth? Was it because she felt selfishly manipulated by him into allowing him to do so?

 

Did Aynesworth really have a one-on-one basketball pick-up game with Castro on a run down street court in Cuba?

I believe all that stuff was made up to sell newspapers, magazines  attract visitors to websites or blogs, etc.

I mean, even if part of it was true, who would take out his trash that way?

We see it every day, today the motto is  : bad news about a person is better than no news at all...

Celebrities that not have been talked about for too long will do something stupid to make the headlines and draw attention, the next line of t-shirts or shoes must sell..., or at least the hits on the website will go up, advertising contracts you know...

Shirley Martin was a credible early JFK assassination researcher and a good friend of Vince Salandria. She recounts in a letter to Jim Garrison what she says Hugh Aynesworth told her, which is that he had sex with Marina Oswald.

As for Marina threatening to KILL AYNESWORTH, that comes straight out of the mouth of ole Hugh Aynesworth. Maybe ask him, but he is dead. It is probably because Aynesworth screwed Marina and also "screwed over" Marina in some way. Hugh had a way with the girls.

As for Aynesworth playing pick up basketball with Fidel Castro: Hugh is the only source for that that but I can believe. Castro was checking out Aynesworth to see if he was worth an interview but I think Castro was suspicious of the angle and intentions of Aynesworth.

The sources on that are 1) Shirley Martin, an early JFK assassination researcher and 2) the big fat mouth of Hugh Aynesworth, longtime long nutter reporter for the Dallas Morning News, Dallas Times Herald, Newsweek and the Washington Times. Judge their credibility how you like.

Shirley Martin was one of the best of the  early researchers in America, and was very trustworthy.

Its a shame she has been all but forgotten. But she is in John Kelin's wonderful book, Praise from a Future Generation.

If you hvae not read it, you should its is quite good.  It would make a fine miniseries.

Which leads me to believe her claims about Aynesworth, Marina and Ruth Paine in her letter to Jim Garrison. At least to a degree of possibility.

Think what the Op Mock did to Garrison...and what may be happening today as well.
