Zack Shelton interviewed by playboy
Zach was interviewed by playboy and it appears in the November 2010 issue. I am away from home this weekend but I do have the electronic verson of that issue and when I get home I will use my acrobat to cut out the interview and post it. He does include opinions of other fbi retirees that feel he was right on track. One of the interesting items is the fact that he verifies that Tony Accordo was still in charge of the chicago outfit during this time. those who were inside knew it and those who thought they knew everything keep saying that giancana was the man. Accordo was a slippery devil and alluded everyone for years to make them think he was retired. this was a big issue because alot of people discredit jimmy because he kept saying the hit came down from Accardo.http://jfkmurdersolved.com/pdf/playboy.pdf
Re: Zach Shelton interviewed by playboy
Members; dont get me wrong here, I dont think Zack did a bad job on the interview. I just think he withheld a good bit of information he has accessto via his former FBI associates as federal agents at the time of the Kennedy assassination. Particularly since J Edgar Hoover put a major clamp down ondisclosure of important information readily available from the agency either to not embarass his agency as he thought of it, or out of utter hatred for thethree Kennedy brothers, the Triumvirate as he and Johnson called it.At this time, we all know with reasonable certainty from Agent James Hosty, that LHO was a paid informant, having a secret code number and beingpaid between $200 and $300 per month. When LHO moved to Ft. Worth and Dallas area, Agent Hosty was assigned the job of keeping tabs on LHO, seeking information on the Cuban and Russian community that he had contacts with. George DeMohrenschild was the CIA associate who was assigned tokeep tabs on Marina and Lee Oswald for the agency.It should be of interest, that George and Jackie Kennedy were very close friends, they visited often prior to her marriage to JFK, as her mother datedGeorge for a time, after her divorce from BlackJack Bouvier, her name being Janet Auchincloss I think it was. She and her sister and cousins called him,our beloved Uncle George.Would it not be odd, that George may have played some role in enabling the murder years later of her husband, our President in 1963, on the streets ofDallas, Tx. a place that both felt was rude, crude, and a wildwest town from a bygone era at best, but probably much worse.

Re: Zach Shelton interviewed by playboy
don't forget that although Zach is retired, "once an fbi agent, always an fbi agent". I am sure that playboy had its own agenda and cut much of Zach's information. Notice how Zach never mentions any alphabet soup agency? He is not going to jeopardize his pension. He will remain mum on many facts that he knows.

Familiar ground, blood-soaked
There's a story here, but it's not in this article—which is out of focus, intentionally so, to, as
Chauncey Holt put it, “muddy the waters.”We don't trust the FBI, not then, not now, not ever.
We don't trust Robert Blakey—the liar—who lied that all Bethesda personnel agreed with the
autopsy photos, and none did not—when, in fact, these witnesses agreed with the Parkland
witnesses as to the large occipital exit wound.
What DO we know?
Working backwards, Charles Nicoletti and George DeMohrenschildt were killed ON THE SAME DAY,
March 29, 1977.
Before they could testify before Blakey's whitewash posse. Blakey was the CIA's punk, installed in
lieu of Sprague, who rewrote the report to protect CIA.
We are on firm ground affirming that Maheu of the Hughes group was used to bring in Roselli—who brought in Giancana, Nicoletti—who brought in Files.
That it was the Roselli group tasked with the Castro hit, that this CIA op was used to get Kennedy.
Holt and Plumlee are pilasters in this wall, buttressing the seeming anomaly of outfit people in the Dealey plan.
Was it, as Holt said, “to muddy the waters”--we know Braden/Brading was nabbed in the Dal-Tex Building, the source for the back shot, the Tague shot, perhaps the EOP shot.
Was it Files who did the frontal shot—he describes it accurately as it was seen at Bethesda, and by several at Parkland, over the eye, in the hairline, where it was excised.He describes the rear exit
wound.
And Ruby—what was he, chopped liver? On November 7, 1963, Jack Ruby received a collect call
from George R. (Barney) Baker which lasted 17 minutes. Baker was an “associate” of James R. Hoffa.
So, James Files is popped for murder in Laos in 1960, is training up Cubans for BOP in 1961, is racing stock cars and tapped by Charles Nicoletti as wheelman, winds up in Dallas with Nicoletti, and Roselli, Oswald, and Ruby.
But a couple of FBI agents “burn Dick Clark”--hey, we're shocked—ordinarily the FBI is all about truth, justice and the American way—suddenly they take time to blow up a hot lead in the JFK hit.
And Katzenbach gets a mention—that would be the Katzenbach in on the decision to create the Warren Commission to “assure the American people that Oswald alone was responsible and would have been convicted at trial.”
Point being, when the muddy water sits, and the sediment settles, we find LBJ was “good friends”
with Hoover who turned a blind eye to “organized crime” which cooperated FULLY with the CIA
which was running the wars, notably in Vietnam, later in Nicaragua, Afghanistan—wherever.
It's not “either/or”--it's both/and, all-of-the-above, and the only rules are three can keep a secret
if two are dead, or one is in jail and smeared with the label of liar, publicity-seeker, what-have-you.
There is a trail of metal on the lateral X-ray from the right eye to the Harper fragment—which
fragment has at its right edge a trace of lead.
The signatures of Files and Nicoletti on the contract sent down from a council of concerned citizens, some in uniform, some in the shadows, all of them powerful and without scruple.
Baddabing, baddaboom.

Final section of article
Three thoughts on the final segment of the article.
Wacks’ superiors would not permit him to take Marcello up on his offer.
“That really pissed me off,” says Wacks. “I said to my boss, ‘What’s it going to harm us?’
But he said, ‘We don’t want to go there.’
For some reason, the bureau wanted to close the book on the assassination. That bugs
me to this day.
”What! The FBI didn't want Special Agent Wacks to talk to Marcello about killing Kennedy?!
I am just so shocked because you know how dogged and determined that Hoover was in
leaving no stone unturned in his unstoppable pursuit of the truth in the murder of his good
friend Kennedy.
For G. Robert Blakey, now a professor atthe Notre Dame Law School, what Zack Shelton and
the other agents have found adds weight to his thesis about organized crime’s role in the
assassination.
“Little by little, more pieces about organized crime’s involvement keep coming out. Nothing of
substance has come out on the CIA othert han that it wanted to cover things up. The stories
of most substance are related to organized crime.
Well, yes, I would say that's why Blakey—not Sprague—ran that show: because he was the
Agency's a word-that-rhymes-with-bitch.
And Blakey was so truthful—like saying all witnesses agreed with the photos of the autopsy
and none did not and so the Parkland witnesses were mistaken.
Except that that's a lie and we know that from the work of the ARRB and the volumes of
Doug Horne.
Blakey is more skeptical about Files.
“The acoustical evidence does show a bullet was fired from the grassy knoll, and it was fired
at a supersonic rate nearly simultaneous with the third shot. But I believe that bullet missed.
If you look at the X-ray evidence of the skull, it’s pretty conclusive the fatal shot came from behind.”
Except that the great genius Blakey is lying again. The phonied up x-rays have been taken
apart by Gary Aguilar and David Mantik; and the latter shows the Harper Fragment fits
midline occipital on the F8 photo in the Fox series—which Baden blew big time.
And that fragment has at its right edge the lead trace from the EOP entry from the Dal-Tex
(hello Roselli, Nicoletti, Braden/Brading) and was blown out by James Files with his XP-100
Remington Fireball.
The truth interlocks; only lies and forgeries are contradictory.
Excellent article providing reinforcement.

Dear Forum Members and Readers;

and Supporting Material about my friend Zechariah Shelton, a retired
FBI Agent. I have copies of the excellent PLAYBOY article/interview.
Unfortunately my great friend Tom Jeffers died several years ago.
Tom never lived to learn that Zechariah Shelton, Jimmy Files and
myself met for lunch/dinner after Jimmy's release from Illinois'
Stateville Penitentiary and have become friends.
Barney, and my also great friend Phil Dragoo still living researching
and writing, contributed some powerful analyses.
