Ken, I read Jim DiEugenio's Part 10 (13,380 words) last night and found it as excellent a rebuke of Puke-liosi as the previous nine. I wrote:Jim DiEugenio Part 10 clearly fleshes out Bungliosi's Strawman on Steroids.By ignoring the record and the evidence, Vincent is free to simply scoop up large armfuls of straw and say, “Hah, no conspiracy here!”In a Facebook outline, Vince likes Priscilla Johnson, Ruth Paine, James Angleton, Edward Epstein, Joseph Trento; does NOT like Philip Melanson, John Newman, John Armstrong, Ed Lopez, Dan Hardway, Vince Palamara and a host of others.Jim DiEugenio presents Vince's Audacity of Solipsism, virtually ignoring Allen Dulles as the agent of change bringing on the violent CIA of the Eisenhower administration, and Dulle's ouster in a hostile takeover of covert operations by John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, NSAM 55, and the institution of the Defense Intelligence Agency.Vince conveniently ignores the established character of Oswald as Melanson's undercover intelligence operative.Ignores the conflict over the Bay of Pigs between JFK and CIA—thus conceals the meaning of LBJ appointing Dulles to investigate the assassination, namely that the latter is placed in a position to protect Angleton, Phillips, Hunt, Morales et al.Vince ignores the CIA trappings of Ruth Paine and Priscilla Johnson, the very real prospect of JFK dropping LBJ from the ticket, the “security stripping” and other suspicious activities of Moore, Boring, Roberts and others in the Secret Service.Ignores the Ruby connection to Joseph Civello, the Joseph Civello connection to Patrick Dean, the Patrick Dean connection to Ruby—rubadub-dub.And so it goes, if Vince says “beyond all doubt Oswald killed Kennedy” hey, why then waste 2700 pages per copy.If Vince says “Oswald is a Marxist” yes well every hunter this season going out in a stupid suit covered with imprints of leaves must be a tree.Jim DiEugenio says in sum that CIA and Cubans were the active elements of the deed, that the CIA called upon the Mob and Ruby to silence Oswald, and that LBJ was intimidated by the Mexico City line and used the WW III scenario to scare Warren into lending his credibility to the Commission so controlled by Hoover.As Jim DiEugenio says, the agencies do not each exist and operate in statutory vacuums but in concert as occasion warrants.It has seemed to me that Kennedy achieved a critical mass of enemies who had no difficulty cooperating in his removal and have been satisfied with their result for a half century.And they continue to use hacks like Bungliosi—who no doubt will have his pedestrian droppings exploded in computer-generated pixels by a Tom Hanks Toy Deposit Story cartoon, Strawswald's Tale.

Henry Wade was either in on the conspiracy about LHO, or he was an eager beaver politician, out to win votes and gain favorwith a very gullible Dallas public about this case. How does it jive, that a policeman has been murdered on the streets of Dallasalong with the President, but the Dallas Police and Sheriffs Dept has plenty of available officers to arrest a guy who failed to buya movie ticket for a movie that had already started at the Texas Theater. Also how does Henry Wade know of this and just happen to show up to help drag LHO into the crowd out front and into a waiting squad car in handcuffs and being knockedabout by a couple of irate officers outside the theater. Sounds rather odd arrest to me.
