RFK JR says Charles Harrelson was involved in JFK's assassination. That Woody's father was one of the three tramps!

[Robert Reeves]

Must say: I understand some people might find the host's Youtube annoying or whatever, it seems to be a pro Trump themed place. I am sensitive to who it might offend. So please don't take offence - not my aim to promote Trump or even bash him. I am not intending to stir up any discussion about Trump/the election. I just posted it because RFK JR spoke on it.

I transcribed as best I can what Robert Kennedy JR says

Quote

"Vietnam was a CIA project. CIA from beginning to end...The same people were involved in [JFK's] assassination...I'm very good friends with Woody Harrelson...His father was a Hitman, guy called Charles Harrelson who was involved in my uncle's assassination. He was a very gifted brilliant guy, who was recruited when he was very young, he was recruited from the military, he was not involved in the shooting, but he confessed to it, he told Woody about it, I've talked a lot to Woody about it, but also, there's pictures of him there''

Woody Harrelson discussing his father being an assassin for the CIA, a clip I posted 7 years ago. It took me quite some digging and I eventually found it (I think) on some obscure Youtube account or another site. It was one of a vast amount of old tv clips collection I'd trawled through. But I knew what I was looking for. Anyway, I have been trying to talk to Woody myself and see if he is open to discussing the subject of his father. below 

Obviously you can see this is a very sensitive subject for Woody. But I think the likelihood of Woody coming forward with information is ever increasing. Be interesting to know if Woody has given RFK JR permission to speak about his father. I doubt he has.

Harrelson: I believe I know who's responsible for his death, I believe the people who killed Lee Chagra killed the judge. I believe that, corrupt members, of an agency, of the federal government killed the judge.(John Wood)

interviewer: DEA?

Harrelson: The DEA, I believe they killed him (Judge Wood) ... well do you believe Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy? -- we'll get back to that -- alone -- without any aid from a rogue, agency of the US government, or at least, a portion of that agency

Lucien Conein, head of covert operations (DEASOG) for the DEA 1973-84

"After leaving the CIA in 1968, Col. Conein returned to South Vietnam as a private businessman. In 1972, he joined the DEA. He was in media headlines in the mid-1970s when then-Sen. Lowell Weicker (R-Conn.) investigated allegations that a DEA unit was preparing to arrange the assassination of drug lords. These charges were denied, and nothing was ever proven."

http://from https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1998/06/06/lucien-e-conein-dies-at-79/ee2af3b1-97ff-4bfd-85e0-037f2d35087e/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.9a31b5d35a7b

The head of the DEASOG covert operations unit just happened to be CIA's Lucien Conein. Tasked with taking out south American drug lords. More like, assassinating anyone who interfered with CIA's drug smuggling. Aka, Judge John Wood. And maybe that's where Charles Harrelson came in handy.

Secretly recorded evidence was used against Harrelson to convict him in the Judge Wood trial. These tapes allegedly also contained several confessions by Charles Harrelson to his involvement in the assassination of JFK. It was alleged the Chagra brother's had diagrams of the shooters positions during the assassination which Charles Harrelson had drawn. The Chagra brother's seemed to have been secretly building safety blackmail material on Harrelson and CIA, his backers.

[Greg Doudna]

The Charles Harrelson tramp identification claim has been a red herring, but other things about Harrelson may not be. 

It is not in reasonable dispute that Harrelson sr was a killer for hire and associated with/part of the Dixie Mafia, killers for hire. And the Dixie Mafia had working relationships with Marcello of New Orleans, who controlled organized crime in Dallas. 

Then there is the confession (later retracted) from Harrelson himself re involvement in the JFK assassination, and separately, credible later multiple reports that Marcello confessed, which are blithely blown off as Marcello’s early stage senility doing that, nothing to see there (but the FBI to this day will not release its Marcello tapes for independent review, despite the JFK records act). That is after Congress’s investigation of the JFK assassination directly named Marcello along with Trafficante as one of its leading suspects, in the absence of and before the reports that Marcello confessed to exactly what Congress suspected of him and which the FBI refused to investigate despite HSCA’s request that Marcello be further investigated by the Justice Department for the JFK assassination as HSCA was closed down and its funding ended. 

And if Marcello did have a role in arranging for the JFK killing as he in his later years was telling people he did, the way it would be done would be via his connections in Dallas with contacts inside the police dept (Ruby), and maybe in the way Marcello is believed to have been behind the killing of that judge for whose killing Harrelson sr was convicted … by outsourcing a contract hit to those in Texas with the demonstrated expertise and ability to do it, Dixie Mafia killers.

There are separate theories of Trafficante sending anti-Castro Cubans, Escalante’s named persons, John Martino known people. So if that is true there is no need for supposition of a separate Dixie Mafia Texas separate connection (unless Marcello-Trafficante were hiring more than one contract hit in the hope one would succeed). 

Yet unless the specific gunmen and who hired them etc are conclusively determined, which is not the case in the view of 98% of researchers who, along with privately a majority of the seven-member Warren Commission themselves and President Johnson, disbelieved their own WC unanimous finding of an Oswald-alone explanation … all credible possibilities should be considered open to evidence-grounded investigation UNLESS the case is conclusively solved (meaning specifics with names, dates, and logistics), which by wide agreement it is NOT.

But back to Harrelson sr.

In Peterson and Zachary, The Lone Star Speaks (2020), 422-425, the authors report, newly and from their own interview contacts in Big Spring, Texas, on a confession to his friends of serial professional killer George McCann in 1970 shortly before McCann met his own violent death on Sept 30, 1970—this is the same George McGann who was Beverly Oliver’s husband—to having been a gunman in Dealey Plaza in the JFK assassination, hired for a high price by the Dixie Mafia, and McGann’s associates who heard it at the time believed him. 

“McGann’s friends knew that he (McGann) and Harrelson were well acquainted” (p. 424). 

“McGann also shared with them that some other people they knew had also been in Dallas that day, namely Charles Harrelson and Pete Kay. Both of these names were familiar to his pool-playing companions. They had seen them with McGann on several occasions, and had even met them in Huntsville” (p. 422).

After so many false confessions of Grassy Knoll shooters there must be high bars of skepticism toward any late hearsay claim of this nature. Maybe someone was pulling someone’s leg. Maybe McGann was spinning a tall tale of his own to his friends as a joke. Who knows. 

But in all the discussions of Charles Harrelson I think this detail of his friend and associate McGann’s claimed confession to direct participation in the JFK assassination, and hearsay placing of Harrelson in Dallas the day of the assassination, has been largely under the radar, unknown altogether until Peterson and Zachry’s publication in 2020, and has received little notice since then. 

It is the kind of thing the US Congress—HSCA—urged be investigated in 1979 (Marcello’s circles), which was never done at the time when such investigation could have been done.

When the reports emerged that an actual direct confession of arranging the JFK assassination from the man, Marcello, himself, from an FBI informant believed credible, had unexpectedly emerged in the course of a surveillance on a different charge, the FBI responded not by investigating it but by closing down its formally-still-open inactive investigation of the JFK assassination altogether on the grounds that all of FBI’s prior lack of investigation of Marcello had not turned up anything, so logically the new report of a direct confession was not believable, therefore it was time to NOW close the case for good. 

I believe Simpich and Schnapf, attorneys, have been seeking via filing legal motions to compel release of FBI’s Marcello tapes and information, unfortunately, so far as I understand, without success. Thanks to them for trying though.

GD-

I wonder if the Marcello tapes are degrading. My understanding is that old-fashioned vinyl tapes start to degrade, and after just a few decades.  Why does the Biden Administration keep such 60-year-old tapes under lock-and-key? 

I wonder if the Mob did the JFKA. And if they did it, if they had their own motives but were also green-lighted and were a cat's paw for someone else.

As you say, any researcher can (usually with florid conviction and adamantly) connect the JFKA dots to a Marcello, or the CIA, or the Mormon Mafia, or Russians, Israelis, LBJ, WASP-globalists and so on.

Charles Voyde Harrelson - Wikipedia describes him as, an 'American Organized Crime Figure', his occupation is listed as 'Hitman'.

Harrelson was tried in 1968 for the murder of Alan Berg, he was represented by legendary defence attorney Percy Foreman -- Foreman's clients included General Edwin Walker, James Earl Ray, and Jack Ruby.

Harrelson and Percy Foreman, below

Harrelson was acquitted for the murder of Alan Berg. He was also tried for the 1968 murder of Same Degelia, although retried, and convicted, serving 5 of the 15 year sentence he was then released for good behaviour. Nowhere does Wikipedia mention Charles Harrelson's time in the Navy during 1956-59, as a sonarman, at Key West. Nor does it mention his movie star son's claim that his father was a CIA trained assassin. Charles' own son says his father was recruited by the CIA at a young age from the military.

If this is true, that Woody Harrelson is openly admitting to RFK Jnr that his own dad, Charles Harrelson, was one of the three tramps, that he was involved with the assassination of JFK. Why do researchers find it so hard to also accept!?

Charles Harrelson would have been 25 at the time of the assassination of JFK. When I look at the tallest tramp photos the guy appears older than 25.

The photo combo below was shown to Charles Harrelson during an interview with Dallas TV station KDFW-TV interview I think in 82, he smirked and admitted this was very close to his appearance. You could tell it was the first time he'd seen the two matched together. He seemed dumbstruck.

Also other photos.

 It was said Harrelson was once due to be photographed for a witness identification line up - the photographer noted many of Harrelson's teeth were missing (maybe had false teeth removed)- he assumed Harrelson had done this to thin his face. He also appeared gaunt as though he'd been starving himself. The prison guards confirmed he was hardly eating in the run up to the photo session. This is one tricky customer, a pro. He escaped Atlanta federal prison whilst serving out his Judge Wood conviction.

Here's some stuff (I think) I found in John Armstrong's files online at Baylor many moons ago. Some of this is stuff from the Dallas TV station Dallas TV station KDFW-TV interview.

 

I don't have a copy of the interview with Dallas TV station KDFW-TV that Harrelson did (would be good to see the whole interview again). I clearly remembered the part where he mentioned he thought it would have been an easier kill shot to assassinate JFK in front of the Rice Hotel. He smirked and seemed to be teasing inside info, to me.

I think it could have been Gary Shaw and Jim Marrs that firstly mentioned Charles Harrelson as being a suspect for the tallest tramp. Harrelson was backed up by R.D. Matthews at the Judge Wood's murder trial. Might have been a giveaway! R.D. Matthews links to Jack Ruby are well known. And he does look like the tall tramp.

R.D. Matthews and Harrelson were both notorious gamblers in Las Vegas. https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/two-line-obituary-doesnt-do-justice-to-shadowy-r-d-matthews/

Charles Harrelson confessed to killing JFK when he was stopped by cops for a traffic violation whilst on the run for the Judge Wood killing. The cops did not know he was wanted for the murder of Judge John Wood. Nobody knew at that point he was tape recorded by the Chagra brothers admitting he took part in the assassination of JFK. The incriminating details of Harrelson talking about himself involved with the assassination of JFK hadn't come to light. These details, plus the drawings of shooter locations, etc, being discovered later on surely backs up his guilt, he later retracted claims, of being part of the assassination. No one had linked the tallest tramp photos to Harrelson. So why did he expose himself? Maybe he thought the cops could protect him from whoever hired him to be part of the JFK assassination. Surely he knew he would bring unwanted attention to the JFK case, yet again (previous murder cases involving him). The killing of Judge Wood was second only to JFK for coverage.

Harrelson true backers could be exposed. Harrelson being linked to working with CIA's Lucien Conein at the DEA. Harrelson had pointed the finger at the DEA as responsible for calling the hit on Judge Wood. Conein was head of a  secretive assassination squad (DEASOG). Conein in the document below was calling for the assassination of president Omar Torrijos and coup in Panama in 1973.

Conein's 1975 drug smuggling involvement with Patrick Hemming, below.

Conein says he only knew Hemming 1975 are laughable. Hemming appears to have been blackmailing Conein.

from https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2018/180-10072-10276.pdf

Quote

Hemming passed a 'resume' to Conein before Conein's departure from Miami, which contained ''code words, cryptonyms, and pseudonyms'' unknown to Conein, in an effort to make it appear that he had prior contact relationship with the DEA through Conein.

This is very similar to Charles Harrelson openly calling out the DEA for the murder of Judge John Wood.

Quote

Harrelson: I believe I know who's responsible for his death, I believe the people who killed Lee Chagra killed the judge. I believe that, corrupt members, of an agency, of the federal government killed the judge.(John Wood)

interviewer: DEA?

Harrelson: The DEA, I believe they killed him (Judge Wood) ... well do you believe Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy? -- we'll get back to that -- alone -- without any aid from a rogue, agency of the US government, or at least, a portion of that agency

These guys had Conein and the CIA by the balls and were getting away with it. Charmed lives! The DEA was simply a front name for the CIA. It never actually came back on the CIA doorstep what was really going on.

These guys were milking their CIA privilege funded by tax payers money in Las Vegas. 

"Disclosure that DEA agents accepted money from the late Howard Hughes Summa Corp for use on gaming tables in Nevada whilst working under cover to break up a drug ring operated by Casino employees'' No shizz they'd accept Howard Hughes money to gamble in Las Vegas.

This article comes from https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP90-00806R000201000009-9.pdf

"Conein a CIA operative in Viet Nam recruited 14 colleagues from the CIA to join his staff at the DEA intelligence branch'' -- I would love to read that list of ex CIA colleagues Lucien brought over with him to gamble, deal drugs, and then murder whoever got in their way.

Even more interesting would be the list of non identifiable 'colleagues' from the CIA's contracting wing, who were also employed to carry DEA killings. Such as Harrelson, maybe Hemming too. That is if they could find the time to give up the day job, gambling!

Charles Harrelson was a legendary gambler, very well known in Las Vegas. In fact, his defense in the Judge Wood case used his gambling prowess to underscore he was rich enough to not need to murder for hire.

from https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1982/11/21/a-gambler-takes-the/bc145f72-a0a3-4ff6-9ef2-5358d5dc0632/

"SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 20, 1982 -- Charles V. Harrelson is a gambler and, like many gamblers, he likes to brag. Killing people and getting away with it was his long suit, he once told an acquaintance.

The acquaintance has since repeated that boast, showing Harrelson tends to exaggerate, in a federal courtroom here. The record shows Harrelson was acquitted of killing a man in May, 1968, but also that two months later he was accused of killing another man for $1,500. He was convicted in that slaying and sentenced to 15 years.

The government spent nearly $5 million investigating the murder of Wood, who had earned the nickname "Maximum John" for his stiff sentences in drug cases. Wood was the first federal judge assassinated in this century, and the investigation that followed was the largest since President Kennedy's assassination. The government made it a top priority as part of its war against drug peddlers.

His lawyer, Thomas G. Sharpe Jr., said Harrelson was in Dallas at the time of the killing. He also said Harrelson earned a good income from gambling and didn't need the money for killing the judge.

Sharpe hopes to have Harrelson demonstrate his abilities as a "card mechanic" in the courtroom this week. But it is not clear that the request will be granted by Judge William S. Sessions, a friend of the slain Wood, who rejected a motion that he step down from the case.

Another government witness said Harrelson had once indicated that he saw the human head as just "a watermelon with hair."

Asked his occupation, he replied, "gambler," and said he had started at age 12. Asked his occupation in jail, Harrelson smiled at the jury and, alluding to the government's bugging of his cell, said, "Making tapes for the government."

From what I remember about an article I read to do with the Judge John Wood assassination. It was claimed Harrelson knew details of the shooting that was limited only to first responders at the scene. A canny cop who firstly attended dying Judge Woods made everyone swear to not repeat the details of how the judge was found. The judges car tire was slashed on one side, and the sniper was positioned to shoot the judge when he got out of the car to check it. Shot in the spine. Harrelson had allegedly repeated this secretive scenario to witnesses against him. 

-------------------------------------

Conein, Harrelson, Hemming, Sturgis, RIP Robertson, O'Hare, etc, all these guys had charmed lives. They were all protected by some mystical force that would not be there to cover our asses. 

I think these guys were given jobs for the boys after their daring work in Dealey Plaza. Lucien Conein appears to have been given a cushy job by Nixon at the DEA at the behest of E Howard Hunt.

The notorious corner collection of operatives. Fletcher Prouty was adamant Lucien Conein was involved in the assassination of JFK. The person who does look like Lucien Conein photographed just a few feet away from the RIP Robertson, John O'Hare, Patrick Hemming, etc lookalikes. Apparently this has been debunked, it's supposedly someone else. Not Lucien Conein.

Well I differ from this opinion Lucien Conein wasn't in dealey plaza on the day JFK was killed, same with the above mentioned guys. I don't think the face is right, but the hair is correct. The face could easily have been disguised. And would have been.

I think these guys were brazen, couldn't care less. They knew nothing would ever come of their actions once JFK was dead.

Saturday night 23rd at Dallas city hall.  Frank Sturgis is seen on multiple occasions on camera. It appears he was, like Jack Ruby was, possibly stalking Oswald.

I believe this pic below was posted by James Fetzer. But wearing a hat

I've looked through the footage on the night of 23rd, Frank Sturgis was there hanging around. Multiple times he was seen on camera. Play acting a camera-man and a reporter. The CIA's top assassin btw. from WFAA and NBC's footage. Sturgis took his time in jail over Watergate. Would he really be too worried if he had to assassinate Oswald? or maybe he was attempting to communicate with Ozzy. There have been unconfirmed links Oswald knew of Sturgis.

These guys were pissing in the faces of everyone.

Sturgis: ''I believe that president Nixon would have uncovered the true facts that had been covered up for many years about the assassination of the president''

O-Reilly: ''Do you think that president Nixon was ever in any physical danger?

Sturgis: "YES ... ABSOLUTELY ... HE'S LUCKY HE DIDN'T GET KILLED, HE'S LUCKY HE DIDN'T GET ASSASSINATED LIKE PRESIDENT KENNEDY GOT ASSASSINATED"

This crap about tradecraft, supposed top CIA spies wouldn't be so amateurish to openly be filmed at the assassination of JFK, that they'd fear exposure and attention of the public and media. It doesn't fly. The CIA's most notorious assassin above on national tv openly telling you that Nixon is lucky he wasn't whacked like Kennedy. It doesn't get more blatant in your face. Like they gave a crap about being caught on camera in either dealey plaza or hanging around trying to assassinate Oswald.

No, they didn't.

These documents were (I believe) obtained by @Denis Morissette So maybe he can say when he got them.

Marvin Wise, the police officer leading the tramps in the infamous photo that Prouty claims shows the backside of Lansdale -- He was interviewed by the FBI in 1992. Which was about the same time the  LaFontaines were busy trying to prove the three tramps were all accounted for and none of had any murderous intent.

The details of his FBI interview I imagine was only revealed by Denis Morissette's actions. I am fairly sure he did say it was he that got hold of the documents, I might be wrong. I merely swiped them from his site .

I added the red ... but he clearly stated that the tramps he was photographed with, they were released almost immediately, within 5 to 10 minutes -- they were certainly released on the day of the assassination, according to him. 

The interview notes with Marvin Wise are here. I got these also from Denis Morrissete's website some years back. Credit to him.

 

Wise is contradicting other investigation interviews he's given. 

There are more details that back up the three tramps named as Doyle, Gedney, Abrahms were in the train yard area and arrested. But they were detained immediately after the assassination -- which it states on their arrest sheets.

The arrest sheet of Gedney, above. His, and all three tramp's *incompleted* sheet state they were arrested right after JFK shot. That they were detained and after 4 days released, on the 26th, says in ink. 

The three tramps photographed walking through dealey plaza were not arrested right after JFK was shot. The statements from several of the arresting officers mention anything up to two hours after JFK was shot.
