Who was John J Abt?
LHO asked for John J Abt by name to represent him when he was held by the Dallas PD on the weekend of his death.As is well known, all attempts by anybody representing the legal profession ended in failure. He was denied legal representation.I am wondering if anyone in the JFK research community has ...

Re: Oswald and his revolver
Oswald, in his Friday night and Saturday interrogations, claims he didn't own a rifle or a revolver. Why would he lie? He thought he would going to trial eventually.The woman at his rooming house claims to have seen a holster, or something like that. Did this holster ever turn up anywhere? How soon ...

Richard Popkin's The Second Oswald
This slim volume, published as a paperback by the Avon Library in 1966 to commemorate the third anniversary of the assassination, was written by a noted scholar, at the time the chairman of the philosophy department at the University of California at San Diego. It consists of 174 pages, with the int...

James W Douglass on Fletcher Prouty
I have always put a couple of question marks after the name of Fletcher Prouty when I had viewed Prouty's material on the British films TMWKK. Looking at what Douglass had to say about him on pages 196-197, I have pretty much decided that he was a CIA asset and that his chief function as one through...

Re: Help With A College Project
For a short presentation as yours I think you could take an easy way out, a simple but effective out by simply using the Stewart Galanor book as your main resource.I think you only need to show anybody who is not very familiar with the assassination that the Warren Commission couldn't possibly have ...

Re: I know who did it!
The Goldwater-did-it thesis takes up about the last half of the book titled The Zenith Secret by Bradley Ayers.As far as I can tell, it was not meant to be a joke.This book left me with the impression that, once in the CIA, you are never really out of it.Sort of the same idea you can get by reading ...

Re: RFK Thought Brother's Assassination Was Conspiracy
Donald Gibson in The Kennedy Assassination Coverup, last chapter, suggested that the general nature of the assassination can now be established.He thought that there was a secret cabal buried in the Council on Foreign Relations that was responsible. He also thought that the Warren Commission should ...

Re: Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy.
Regarding Prouty, I don't think it is possible to not understand him to be a CIA asset. I am not implying he is one, I am strongly claiming that for the work he did for Allen Dulles, he cannot but be understood to be an asset. I suggest people might want to read the few pages in which Douglass descr...

Re: JFK: The Last Dissenting Witness:
There is a slide or photo, I think it is rather famous, to be found in the David Lifton book and other places, which shows Jean Hill and Mary Moorman still sitting in the grass after the shots had been fired, and after other folks had already run up the grassy knoll.This conflicts dramatically with ...

Re: Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy.
I've read JFK and the Unspeakable, and there is some fresh information there I haven't read before, some of it not seeming to be credible.I don't believe JFK had actually turned toward peace during his administration, as I don't believe he was actually a true Cold Warrior. I believe the Missile Cris...
