Guest Tom Scully Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) Bill, The editor writes in his bio that he is an MD, but he doesn't want to read details, and he calls me a "cold man", because I earlier questioned the delay between JFK's Fort Worth breakfast speech and the 11:20 am AF-1 take-off for the unnecessary flight to Love field. I had shared the observation with him that they had put the president through the discomfort of boarding and then unboarding a twenty minute flight that put the president in a locale more distant to travel by automobile to the scheduled Trade Mart lunch, than if the president had been driven directly there from Fort Worth. This is a guy who has done more than 20,000 edits to articles that are served up, most of the time, in the top five google search results. No need to worry that the internets and the google will influence the public to become so well informed that they become wealthy in great numbers and unleash massive inflation, is there?

Hi Tom, Yes, the ten minute flight from the Fort Worth SAC base to Love Field was unnecessary but was arranged by a number of coincidences - or so they call them. JFK was going to drive from Ft. Worth to Dallas to get an honorary degree from Texas Christian University, and the Womens Building near the State Fairground (I think - I'm sure a Dallasite will correct me if I'm wrong), was to be the site of the luncheon, and that's the way it was when JFK's chief advance man Jerry Bruno left Dallas. Once he was gone however, TCU held a meeting and decided they didn't want to give JFK an honorary degree after all, and that cancelation left open the time for a motorcade, that JFK and the White House wanted, but John Connally didn't. But Connally wanted the Trade Mart as the luncheon site, even though it was smaller and had many more security concerns. In order to have a motorcade through downtown Dallas they wanted to begin at Love Field and end at the Trade Mart, which would have made the route through Dealey Plaza necessary. As far as I can tell the people who engineered the Trade Mart site and motorcade route were John Connally, Jack Peuterbach of the Democratic Natonal Committee (and Dept. of Agriculture), Sam Bloom of the Chamber of Commerce and the Secret Service. Even after the cancellation of the TCU event, they still could have drove the short distance from Ft. Worth to Dallas and did their downtown tour quicker than they could flying there. I don't know if getting the truth up on Wiki is a significant battle, won or lost. BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the meeting is cited in Warren Commission documents as having ended at 11:45 A.M., some three-quarters of an hour before the assassination not a great deal is known about the meeting itself. Such as what was being discussed and was the account given of this meeting actually as it is described by the persons in attendance. The Warren Commission mention the meeting in 4 WH 461, See page 257, Deep Politics and The Death of JFK - Scott, P.D. - Univ. of California Press - 1993 In that document, Hosty states that after a morning meeting with J. Gordon Shanklin and the discovery of the Wanted For Treason leaflets. Hosty mentions that he gave the information regarding the leaflets to “an Agent Warner of the Secret Service”.........”I then left the office and joined an Army Intelligence agent and a member of the Alcohol Tax Unit of the Treasury Department. We had a conference concerning a case not related to Lee Harvey Oswald. At 11:45 the Army Intelligence agent and myself left and walked over to Main Street....I was now on my lunch hour.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Knight Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Robert, thanks for all the information you are discovering and sharing. Since I consider myself a student of the Kennedy Assassination--rather than an "expert" with books to sell and theories to defend--I find your information [and the information shared by Jim Root] to be quite educational, as far as the circumstances around the assassination that many folks have not the curiosity to explore. Thanks for your work, and let it be known that your efforts do not go unappreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Kelly Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'd like to echo Mark's statement and I too appreciate both Jim and Robert for all the leg work that they are doing. Just to make one thing clear, Ed Coyle is the Army Intelligence agent and not a ATF agent. In addition, I recently came across this early affidavit from Michael Paine in which he says Michael Paine Affidavit – “I heard that the President was shot from the Texas School Book Depository. I knew that Lee Oswald worked there, and immediately thought of him and wondered if he might have shot the President, and wondered if I should call the FBI. I thought it unlikely that he shot the President, and that the F.B.I. was fully aware of his presence there….” http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=10490&relPageId=282, Who else in the FBI could the Paines - either Ruth or Micahel, have told about LHO working at TSB?

BK Well, Mark, Bill, I really appreciate the thanks. You would be surprised how many researchers, I have been in touch with through the years, that I expressed similar sentiments, who would tell me, that it had really picked them up, or they had felt discouraged by so many negative reactions to what they had published or written, it works both ways. I wish I knew some other people on the forum better, that have been here a long time, but you can't expect to be liked by everybody. Regarding the Paine's and the FBI, I do not believe it is a coincidence, that whenever there is a "Oswald Did It," network expose Beyond Conspiracy, ad nauseum, Ruth [i was glad he (Oswald) was dead - Redbook July 1964] and Michael trot out like some types of Moses' figure from Mount Sinai and repeat their schtick, people who don't know much about the assassination get confused about the discordia element; it is not at all confusing to me. Truth about controversial subjects in history, are often political in nature. And it is a fact that President Kennedy had the misfortune to be, in my words, President at the wrong time. Mary Queen of Scots was historically tarred and feathered, by primarily the British for almost three centuries before the forgery of her letters by Lord Francis Walsingham and his privy council became common knowledge in how they conspired and succeeded in linking her to the Babington Plot. Politics is about power. It is about the power of the state. It is about the power of the state as applied to individuals, the society in which they live and the economy in which they work. Most critically, our responsibility in this parliament is how that power is used: whether it is used for the benefit of the few or the many. - Kevin Rudd Although what Kevin Rudd said about politics, was written in reference to Australian politics, I would submit it is equally applicable to America, and the issues raised will go a long way in determining whether the 21st century is a fulfillment of America's ideal as the city shining on a hill, or another great civilization that was destroyed by its failure to learn, that the rise and fall of many great nations has a commonality of historical repetition that seems to be forgotten by each of its successors. Perhaps you could call it the Fourth Turning. Edited January 15, 2011 by Robert Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it unlikely that he shot the President, and that the F.B.I. was fully aware of his presence there…." http://www.maryferre...0&relPageId=282, Who else in the FBI could the Paines - either Ruth or Micahel, have told about LHO working at TSB? BK William If Michael Paine was involved in the assassination, why, in heavens name, would he let on that he knew that the FBI was aware of where Oswald was working. The Warren Commission itself seems to have kept that information (Hosty's third note)out of the record. Jim Root Hi Jim, I don't know that Michael Paine was involved in the assassination. He was discussing political assassination with a co-worker at the Bell cafeteria at the time of the assassination, so that must be ESP or something. I don't know why he did the things he did, or said the things he said, but that affidavit was written early on, probably the day of the murder, and he most certainly says that he knew "the FBI was fully aware of his presence there." How he knew the FBI were aware, and how the FBI became aware, I don't know, other than to speculate that Ruth told him she told Hosty. It appears that Hosty did know Oswald worked at TSBD, but was unconcerned because it was not a defense contractor or a job with security implications, other than the fact the President would pass by there in the motorcade.

Robert Howard Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) I'd like to echo Mark's statement and I too appreciate both Jim and Robert for all the leg work that they are doing. Just to make one thing clear, Ed Coyle is the Army Intelligence agent and not a ATF agent.

BK In baseball parlance, [telephone deposition January 1976] Howard Gilbert to Carver Gayton to James Hosty. This document is rife with information, unfortunately, I do not have the time to transcribe the entire 28 odd page document; suffice to say, Gilbert, was part of the investigation in some capacity, which becomes apparent as one reads further. Besides getting a fairly interesting [understatement?] amount of information regarding Oswald and Hosty, Howard Gilbert was privy to some of the inner workings in the HSCA, particularly Carver Gayton, who, at the time Howard Gilbert was in contact with him, Gayton was an administrator at the Univ. of Washington. See http://www.nara.gov/...496/jfksnew.txt Other aspects Elmer Moore, MLK assassination, Oswald meeting with subversive, finding the money..... Gilbert also indicates that Hosty went to "Oswald's apartment," and left a note. The interviewer refers to this apartment as being "in Irving." Which, if taken literally, would be "off the charts," as some might say, but before getting too excited, that part of the conversation starts with a reference to "a suburb in Dallas," personally, I believe the apartment being referenced is the boarding house at 1026 N. Beckley, and Gilbert is not familiar with Dallas suburbs, but obviously everyone is left to draw their own conclusions. See http://www.maryferre...83&relPageId=13 G: Allright, would you go back in the conversation to the point that Gayton started talking about the Oswald's and Hosty. JG: Right, OK, he brought up the — he says, by the way, he says, I said to him, I said, there's some speculation, uh words to this effect, and, I mean there is some speculation that Oswald was connected with the government, at some point. He says — oh he was. I say's, oh, you know that for a fact? He says, oh yeah. Hosty told me that he was, ah, what he was was a security, ah, a potential security informant. G: Now, did he say that Hosty used the term potential security informant? JG: I — yeah, that was the first thing that he said. G: Ok. JG: And he said that, ah, the problem with Oswald was that he wasn't doing any informing. G: You mean he wasn't turning in sufficient information. JG: He wasn't doing anything apparently. G: Allright. JG: He said that Hosty was irritated, because he was getting pressure to find out why Oswald wasn't giving information. G: Ok. JG: And, ah, that he was running around trying to pressure Oswald into talking with him about it at some length, but. . . . G: Did he, that'd be Gayton, indicate what type of information Oswald was supposed to be giving to the FBI? JG: No. G: Did he indicate at that time, whether or not Oswald was to be paid for the information. Or was he receiving money at that time from the FBI? JG: I'm trying to get it straight. I think that -- that he told me that Oswald was being paid. He was being given a certain amount of money, but that Oswald wasn't, 1) I can remember distinctly, Oswald wasn't showing up at his drops. He wasn't leaving the kind of information at these drops, that he was supposed to, and that he just simply wasn't communicating with the Bureau. G: All right. G: Was there anything in the conversation relating to whether or not Oswald was reporting information about potential assassination of the President? JG: No. G: OK. What else was said about Oswald and Hosty. JG: Well, apparentley, ah, the reason that Hosty had talked with Gayton was the fact that Gayton had bailed him out of a ticklish situation in Kansas City. (cough) G: They were both agent. FBI agents there together there, werent they? JG: Right. G: Ok. JG: Apparently Hosty had blown some sort of a cover for some sort of surveillance, and ah, Hosty was being in a punishment situation, in Kansas City, to begin with, and I guess more black marks had been a problem. And apparently Gayton had covered up some indiscretion at a stakeout of some sort. I don't really remember the details on it . Excuse me. (Apparently someone called to him) Yes. (Voices) HSCA Numbered Files 180-10086-10438 http://www.maryferre....do?docId=49383 On the RIF page, there is the designation 3 of 3; If this is the third part of Gilbert's deposition, or anything similar, I would darn sure try to get my hands on it.
