James DiEugenio Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 That is really discouraging Jim. This was supposed to be a big deal, the last file release on JFK. And NARA settled for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 BTW, a researcher just told me that in one of the zip files, there is a memo from Hunt about RFK's recommendations to Artime for the Cuban exiles as Mongoose wound down. He suggested that the army help them either find jobs or send them to college. That Bobby, he was so wild eyed about getting rid of Castro eh? One more nail in the Waldron Hartmann thesis. Although to me that was closed tight and dropped six feet under awhile ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to find that reported on by major media. I find prior posts above interesting as well. Ignoring the anti Trump comments, I wonder, is it a coincidence that the press reporting on the release is focusing mainly on files related to Russia and specifically Yuri Nosenko? When one considers the political climate now and the strange History Channel show (which apparently will not finish its run in the U.S.) which was heavily focused on pointing the finger at Russia, I question whether this is a coincidence or something more. Coincidences are a strange thing indeed. To elaborate on my prior post, now the media has been reporting quite a bit on the Russian alleged link. https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2017/07/27/-russia-involved-assassination-jfk/104059566/ http://www.newsweek.com/cia-releases-secret-interviews-russian-spy-imprisoned-jfk-assassination-642486 several others were found. Again, the media seems to be focusing on a Russian link which coincides with other current events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the media seems to be focusing on a Russian link which coincides with other current events. Russian link is interesting. I am a contrarian, so I see it through different eyes. I look at the players - Marina Oswald (Russian), Abraham Zapruder (Russian), George Sergius de Mohrenschildt (Russian), Ruth Payne (Speaks Russian), LHO (Lived in Russia) If the Russians wanted to kill JFK, they sure intended to let the world know that they did it! My opinion on this is JFK was killed by a military operation organized and managed by the Pentagon pointing the obvious - Russia did it story. The USA did everything to dupe Russia and Cuba into killing JFK. I strongly believe the USA wanted to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Russia in 1963 because we had a strategic advantage against them. http://prospect.org/article/did-us-military-plan-nuclear-first-strike-1963. The killing of JFK would give the USA the perfect excuse to do so. My gut feeling is that all these Russians around Oswald were setup to be patsies; Officer Tippett and Ruby mucked it all up for the Pentagon. Oswald was probably supposed to have been caught red-handed most likely in Mexico, Cuba, or Russia. If the Russians were involved, Marina Oswald has received a golden get out of jail card. Russians did it or not, she knows what occurred and by whom. I love the story of how Marina did not know anything about what was going on with LHO.

James DiEugenio Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I liked it better when Newsweek wasn't publishing. Better nothing being printed than pablum like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Larsen Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Of course Russia and Cuba weren't behind the assassination. They had nothing to gain and a whole lot to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 All you have to do is look at how both Castro and Nikita K reacted when they got the news of Kennedy's death. They were both emotionally distraught. And then, Bobby and Jackie sent that message to Nikita. He would have to wait for Bobby to run since LBJ was too much beholding to big business. God, was he right about that. But then, we know what happened to him at the Ambassador Hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bullet lodged behind the President's ear, eh? Hmmm. Wondering if anybody's found any reference to Jeff Morley's and Jim Lesar's long-sought records relating to George Joannides. I'd think they ought to show up somewhere in these dumps. If not, Mr. J. must have been really something... Thanks, everybody, for helping me get up to date. This is about it on Jeff's end at the moment as far as I Know. http://jfkfacts.org/12-cia-documents-omitted-national-archives-jfk-records-release/#more-25673 It will take a while for researchers to fully digest what has been released and what may still be. The initial analysis is not encouraging but nobody knows the full results yet. But maybe someone will find another Documented Bullet behind the ear. To also be ignored by the main steam media. But ultimately, hopefully, recorded more accurately that future generations may learn from it and do better by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Thorne Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 So, years before Baker peddled nonsense, Rocca was peddling some similar rubbish. Like others here I hope the next batch of archival releases are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Anthony: No one has read the whole release yet. The ARRB declassified some really good documents. I mean just look at some of the books that came out of that. Bill Davy could have never written his book Let Justice Be Done without those documents. James Blight's Virtual JFK: VIetnam if Kennedy had Lived, was largely based on the 800 page release by the ARRB on Kennedy's Vietnam policy. Those two books, among others, seriously advanced our knowledge of the JFK case. Another example, the declassified Lopez Report was invaluable to me in writing Reclaiming Parkland and the second edition of Destiny Betrayed. In this new release, to take one example, the document about Collins Radio is really interesting. That firm had turned into pretty much a CIA proprietary by the seventies. Reminds me of the Mullen Company with Watergate. Of course, that does not mean it was like that in the sixties. But, you have to start somewhere. And remember the roles of Bruton with DeMohrenschildt and Mather's car with the second Oswald. The significance of Karl's document, which I would like to see, is that 1.)Angleton was trying to influence the WC, and 2.) Apparently at that time he had seen that the Castro killed Kennedy option had failed. Edited July 31, 2017 by James DiEugenio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, once NARA has it ready, why hold it for some event to focus attention on it....this makes it look like its no big deal at all. I believe they announced as early as last year that the docs would be released throughout the year, and not just on the anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
