I've offered to make a transcript of it but I can't stay on the internet for long periods, so if someone will send me a CD ROM of it I will make a transcript and post it. As I told Doug, until it is written down and archived it's only entertaining.

Or is there someway I can down load the interview to my computer?

Yes, there is a way to download it. Just go to BOR 2012 Archives and you'll see options for playing it with Real Player or downloading it as an MP3 file.

Yes, I know B. It's Wiarton.

I have a blog post of it with a photo of the place, very small.

It is actually south east of the part of Michigan where LeMay apparently was at the time of the assassination.

So the speculation that LeMay lied about being in Michigan at the time is probably incorrect, and that he was in fact "hunting and fishing" in Michigan, where his wife's family apparently has a vacation cottage.

This is supported by the son of his aide, Col. George Dorman, who can be heard on the AF1 radio tapes trying to get a message to LeMay before he landed. Dorman, Jr. said his dad was always with LeMay, and since he didn't have his usual command and control aircraft - "Speckled Trout," it seems like LeMay really was on a holiday.

According to the Andrews Log, the order for a "Pick Up" for LeMay comes in within a half hour of the public news announcement of the assassination, and the original destination is Toronto, which is also southeast of where LeMay is said to have been and the closest major airport to where he was. To get there LeMay had to fly southeast across the lake, which he probably did by small airplane, into Canada and Wiarton, where the pick up point was changed to after they figured out that airport was closer.

And Greg, I will try to down load Horne interview and see if that works.

Tonight's Black Op Radio Show with Len Osanic's interview of Doug Horne is a MUST hear.

It is show #569.

Doug is at his best. His interpretation of the evidence is stellar. His conclusion is very

astute, namely that: Those in government, most notably those in relevant government

positions post 1975 era, are cowards. They know the truth and are simply too petrified

of the ramifications to reveal the truth. Indeed, they are much too petrified to allow the

records themselves (even minus any logical damning conclusions) to be released to

the public.

This dovetails nicely with the sentiments of Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, who said:

"If these things became widely known...what really happened...the fear is that it could

bring down the entire government. It is primarily for this reason that the cover up is still

perpetuated."

Thanks for that Greg,

I too think its an important issue and hope we can develop it further.

Bill,

You've been extremely instrumental in bringing all of this Collin's Radio business to light. It is far more important than

most researchers first imagined it to be. Your pursuit of relevant information about it over the years has led us to a whole

new understanding of what this means.

Kudos--

Thanks Monk, I'm glad others are catching on. There's a lot more to be done on this angle.

Here's some docs from Doug Horne's files - WHCA radio operators After Action Reports.

JFKcountercoup: WHCA Comm Center After Action Reports

BUMP

[Chris Newton]

Reading these notes it occurred to me that there might be a plausible reason to need 3 caskets -

1. The one he is actually brought in on.

2. The decoy casket

3. Another casket that his body can be transferred to because the surreptitious surgery is performed while the corpse is still in casket 1. Therefore no "cleanup" is necessitated. Just move the body from casket 1 to casket 3. Close casket 1 and dispose of it.

[Chris Newton]

If Lemay was part of either the casket switching and/or privy to the actual extra surgery that was performed then it would explain his interference at the "official" autopsy. He had to suppress as much evidence as possible, although as we know, some clues remained.

The other thing is that someone other than LeMay performed that surreptitious surgery on the corpse. Obviously, he's not covered in blood and gore at the official autopsy. There are no speaking witnesses to the "other" autopsy so it stands to reason everyone present would have either been a participant of the plot or silenced permanently.

Could Lt. Cmdr. Pitzer be one of the perps here? His death is already suspicious and it was reported that he had some photos and film of one of the autopsies.

I don't know if Lemay was a the autopsy or not, but I do not believe that he would have tried to alter the evidence to indicate a Lone Nut was responsible for the assassination, because the whole point of setting up Oswald as The Patsy was to blame the Dealey Plaza operation on the Cuban Commies so they could go to war with Cuba - invade, like they wanted to do during Cuban Missile Crisis and were prevented from doing.

Lemay would have been Gung Ho to keep the Cuban Commie Conspiracy together - the original cover story - and it was LBJ who switched the plan from one to the other.

It appears, from the tapes, he was keeping track of the body, and his chief exec had a very important message for him, a fact he had to know before he landed, a fact that may have diverted his destination from Andrews to DC National.

[Paul Brancato]

Yes Bill, so LeMay could get to Bethesda quicker.

I don't think altering wounds to set up Oswald as the lone shooter necessarily meant that there would be no perceived communist conspiracy. After all the conspirators tried, and did a pretty good job of bolstering Oswald's left wing bonafides - with Oswald's help of course, witting or not. LBJ certainly pressed home the necessity of portraying Oswald as acting on his own, but whoever was instrumental in creating the Oswald commie image had other ends in mind.

[William Kelly]

STOP! HOLD THE PRESSES!

THIS JUST IN. Jeff Morley has an OpEd piece in Sundays Dallas Morning News, which refers to the Air Force One radio tapes and lists them as among the most significant records still being withheld, after the CIA records.

Jeff mentions the fact that the tapes in the public record are severely edited, and estimates that there may be as much as 240 minutes of tape edited from the tape that was released to the public in the 1970s and the tape discovered in 2011.

The math behind the estimated 240 minutes is based on what Doug Horne wrote in his book, "Inside the ARRB": (Vol. V, p. 1662)

"As an ARRB staff member I was very concerned with determining whether or not a significant portion of time had been excised from the original recordings. Anyone concerned with this exercise must begin with the flight time from Love Field back to Andrews AFB: 2 hours, and 17 minutes. Next, since Trimble had written that he had 'three phone patches going simultaneously most of the time," it is wise to take a conservative approach....two hours times three radio circuits = six hours of unedited voice conversations as the length of the unedited Air Force One tapes from November 22, 1963. Since the tapes at the Archives II are a maximum of two hours in length, approximately four hours have been excised. It appears safe to say, then, that the amount of time edited out of the existing tapes is twice as long as the length of the information released by the LBJ Library. This is extremely disturbing."

So the 240 minutes estimated to have been excised from the original unedited tapes comes from Doug Horne's "conservative" figure of four hours or 240 minutes.
