Benjamin Cole Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Maybe nothing new here for real JFKA junkies, but this caught my eye: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP83-00156R000300010111-1.pdf This is an internal CIA memo, regarding a somewhat chummy Saturday meeting with Robert Blakey, then chief counsel of the HSCA. Blakey basically told the CIA, hey no worries in the pending HSCA report, they were a "minor part of it all" and the headlines would be about organized crime. Blakey had been a mafia-hunter for the federal government, and looked hard at Carlos Marcello. Later in life Blakey would regret his trust in the CIA, and said he thought Eladio Del Valle, and Herminio Diaz, Cuban exiles, played a role in the JFKA. Both possible assassins had been CIA assets, and both were dead by 1967---just before New Orleans Attorney James Garrison could interview them. Interesting picture and lesson about establishment DC. Blakey was a honorable civil servant...and badly used by the CIA. Even honest people can end up repeating Deep State lies, in our nation's capital.
