"so what’s the point? Granted these people might put a commie or goofy spin on it, but the evidence points in precisely the combo cia mafia lbj oni etc. direction" You've been drinking the Kool-Aid, put LBJ and Mafia in the middle of it, and fail to
... even mention "Minutemen" (Birchers), Nazis, at the core. Your formula isn't Posnerized, so you're step up - it's "Birched." The widely-publicized Mafia template is a contrived distraction. Same with the LBJ books. You are apparently confused about the assassination because you fell for the misinformation, and it is MEANT to confuse you. "... they say don’t trust the government ... " They MEAN don't trust liberal, Democratic government that serves the interests of the people. This is why Birchers demonize "big government," health care, any expenditure that serves the common good. They serve the same military-industrial corporations that financed Germany's Nazi Party. Do you trust THEM? Birchers are the ultimate corporatists, and the conspiracy theory is a programming tool. Eisenhower was called a "communist" to drive the proles drinking their Kool-Aid even further to the right during the Cold War. The MO is the same today. It's a transparent psychological manipulation once you realize that Birchers are in the business of mental programming via the usual fascist methods of scapegoating, ultra-nationalism, red-baiting, ersatz propaganda and conspiracism, etc. - AC

Mae Brussell pointed out long ago that there were John Birch society ties to the JFK assassination. In fact, the first complete set of early critical books and the Warren Commission volumes I ever saw was on a visit with my family to the home of the
... head of the JBS in Texas. Of course they spread disinformation, as did the planted critics like Mark Lane. The intelligence and government agencies have to cover both ends, and do damage control by appearing to be the critics themselves. James Earl Ray was not a racist, as this article implies. I recommend the new book Memoir of Injustice by T Carter due in January from Trine Day, written with Ray's brother Jerry for more insight into this patsy. The whole point of the Birch society anti-Communist analysis was to cover the tracks of the fascists and the rise of the Military Industrial Intelligence Complex Eisenhower saw coming, and the power shift to the Southern Rim economy that followed WWII. Birchers point only to the eastern establishment, never to the oil, aerospace, munitions and other money that paid for the Kennedy assassination. Mark Lane has been a lawyer for John Hinckley, E. Howard Hunt, Jim Jones of Jonestown infamy, Grace Walden Stevens, and most recently for the hack plagiarist Gerald Posner who defends the lone nut thesis on JFK and MLK, in direct opposition to Lane's supposed beliefs. While the Birchers and their assets blew smoke to cover the tracks of ONI, the Pentagon and the Nazis that Garrison and Mae pointed to (not some fuzzy dishonest government as implied here, but specific people in the Joint Chiefs and down the chain) involved in killing JFK, the real JFK researchers went unpublished, scorned and ignored but they won their case with the public anyway. The earliest ones were mostly women, save for Oliver who had his own reasons to cover the killers' tracks. You can read about them in John Kelin's excellent In Praise of An Earlier Generation. Field appointed Brigadier General Penn Jones, Jr. in Texas, investigator and writer Josiah Thompson, Sylvia Meagher who deconstructed the Accessories After the Fact early on, Richard Popkin who noticed The Second Oswald, academician Peter Dale Scott who is still dissecting the hidden state and deep politics and connections forward, courageous forensic scientist and coroner Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, political analyst Carl Oglesby who discerned a Yankee Cowboy War, and the indefatigueable Mae Brussell, housewife and daughter of Rabbi I. Magnin in Los Angeles who took apart the Commission volumes and then clipped and read the news making weekly connections on her radio shows that not only shone light on the past but predicted the horrid future we now live in. Nowadays, all conspiracies are lumped together. But the hard evidence only leads in one direction, to the Pentagon. Marchetti and Prouty have to be seen in their context as lifelong intelligence agents who may have represented factions within the agencies that wanted to get out the truth, but linking up with the Holocaust deniers was clearly not the way to do it. On the other hand, the left press never wanted to touch the real stories behind the news or seem to believe in conspiracies, which by then was seen as your writer sees them, a purview only of the right wing. Chip Berlet, Michael Albert of Z magazine and the Chomsky acolytes love to lump all conspiracy research into either irrelevance or right wing fantasy. I study historical conspiracies that arise from the class structure itself and its divisions, and the rise of global fascism that we live under. I indict the right wing for their part in all this. I am a progressive activist. I have nothing to do with John Birch or the Holocaust deniers and none of the real JFK researchers mentioned above did either. This convoluted little smear on our work fails to recognize the role disinformation plays in any covert operation. It is like the cute ploy of our critics who say we name so many groups as responsible that it would be impossible to keep secret or coordinate. Part of the right wing smoke is to obfuscate the reason for the murder, so the Birchers love to point to a small run of silver certificates JFK approved to claim the Federal Reserve must have had him killed. Hardly, but it avoids, as always talking about the war in Vietnam, the Cold War, the Joint Chiefs, the MIC, the military intelligence apparatus that consumes 85% of its budget since it started (out of $80 billion now admitted) and makes the CIA and FBI into the think tank toys they are, the oil tax depletion allowance the Kennedy brothers wanted to kill, the Castro assassination plots they tried to stop, the moves toward ending the nuclear arms race and detente with the USSR which the same plotters had foiled with the U-2 incident when Eisenhower met Kruschev, the civil rights movement, the JFK plan to withdraw from Vietnam in 1964, the push to end organized crime which was closely linked to both ONI and CIA, the international drug traffic connection that was being discovered, the wish to scatter the CIA to "the four winds", the abandonment of General Landsdale's failed approach to use covert operations in place of overt wars, the wish for real peace, and the sense of hope for social justice against the old order that JFK and RFK began to create and support. It was these same factors that led to the same forces killing Dr. King and Robert Kennedy in 1968, as well as their fear that the JFK case would be reopened. Read Talbot's book Brothers to understand. Jim Douglass gets it in JFK and the Unspeakable, who killed JFK and why. The why is everything and that is what the right wing and the DIA want to hide the most. The people who broke open the Kennedy case and exposed the Warren Commission were progressives not right wingers. It was their hard work over the years that convinced nearly 90% of the public that there was a conspiracy. Oliver Stone did not do a John Birch society movie, he wrote from the work of the real critics in the case. Mae Brussell assisted Jim Garrison's case, not the right wing. Just because someone tells you the government is lying to you does not mean they are telling the truth. But just because someone says the government is lying does not make them a right wing nut. The Coalition on Political Assassinations holds annual meetings in Dallas each year near November 22 and presents the best real evidence in these political murders then and now. See www.politicalassassinations.com and realize that not all conspiracies are created equal. John Judge

PS - As to "drinking the Kool Aid and Mark Lane, I suggest my article The Black Hole of Guyana: The Untold Story of the Jonestown Massacre available at www.ratical.org to expose the Kool Aid lie and Mark Lane's role in history.

I disagree with the article's attacks on Jim Garrison, who did not advocate a "Bircher Theory" in any way. In fact, he pointed the finger at right-wing, cold-warrior factions of the US Military/Intelligence Complex. Hardly "Bircher" targets. In OTOTA
... , he clearly connects fascist/Nazi elements to the crime through his exposure of Clay Shaw's ties to Permindex. I'm unsure about Mark Lane, however. While he has defended suspicious people (Posner, Jim Jones, etc.), his defense in the Hunt trial was mainly aimed at exposing the CIA. His books contained much useful information. However, acknowledging that Lane is a former US Army Intelligence agent and served as a lawyer for the "People's Temple" MKULTRA project, it is probable that he was an agent. I just can't see how his book "Plausible Deniability" helped the perps. I take issue, however, with the implications made against James Earl Ray. Is the article-writer unaware of the testimony of Lloyd Jowers, which, along with other evidence, implicates covert, right-wing elements of the CIA, FBI, Military-Intelligence, and Memphis Police Force? I will, however, agree that the John Birch Society has connections to the JFK Assassination: -Harry Dean (Ex-FBI/CIA), an FBI snitch within the John Birch Society, reported that members of the organization (Among them Edwin Walker and John Rousselot) hired Eladio Del Valle and Loran Hall to kill JFK. -The John Birch Society was behind the anti-JFK "Wanted For Treason" handbills that were circulated around Dallas. Anti-JFK ads appeared in the local paper, and were financed by Haroldson L. Hunt, a member of the John Birch Society. -H.L. Hunt of the John Birch Society owned space in the Dal-Tex Building, where many believe shots were fired from. Arrested coming out of the Dal-Tex Building was Eugene Hale Brading, an organized-crime thug who had been in JBS member Hunt's offices on the day prior to the assassination. -The JBS had powerful influence in Dallas. The police force, social elite, and local government of the city was saturated with JBS members. The Dallas elite played a major role in luring Kennedy to Dallas, while the police force played a major role in the local cover-up/frame-up. -W. Guy Banister (Freemason), the FBI/ONI veteran and CIA man who supervised Oswald in New Orleans, was a member of the John Birch Society, along with an important player in several other notable right-wing extremist groups. -Joseph Milteer, who predicted the assassination 13 days prior to it's occcurrence, had ties to the John Birch Society.

... mplicated, the same guy who ran The World Anti-Communist League during its most pro-fascist heydey during the 1980's. What this implies is that people like Wickliffe Draper and one of the people he funded at The Pioneer Fund, Dr. Hans F. Eysenck let the genie out of the bottle after they discovered how to create Manchurian Candidate programmed assassins. Anastase Vonsiatsky used Pavlovian and Chines techniques in Manchuoko (Manchuria) China, during the Japanese occupation to train unwitting victims how to be programmed assassins. And he even trained the Japanese Kamikaze pilots, as well, in how to produce willing dive bombers hell bent on self destruction. Now you must have been thinking the same thing. Was the Kamikaze pilot training used on the 9/11 dive bombers as well? You can bet your bippy it was, for certain. Who WAS "The Manchurian Candidate?" Czar Anastase Vonsiatsky himself from Putnam, CT. a strike busting goon for The Draper Company for decades.

Fascinating, terrifying, to think that you could be subjectted to such manipulation and isolation before you died by catholics. But cahtolics stole this womans house in seattle the same way; she had a black priest caregivning her; the nazis there couldn't stand that one, even though she was 93 and he was 45.

Comment left on document Antioch College Connections to the CIA, Ruth Paine & John Kennedy Murder
Many, many institutions of higher education that are not specifically supporting all the agendas of the military industrial complex were either repressed out of existence or "mainstreamed" Evergreen State College had an individualized degree program
... that supported studies in many new areas in the 60's and 70's but had student self-determination in education reduced to the point where now it is hard to distinguish it from most military corporate supported institutions. Still the spirit of independence lives on there more than other places of "higher learning" in the US. I had to study drug rehab on my own since the drug war propaganda hate campaigns had so corrupted healthcare that the proper medical/psychological response to addiction and alcoholism was almost completely repressed out of the mass mind in the US, to be replaced with the usual fascist scapegoating, exclusion, and racism. What I found out was that in other countries, they had very effective responses to trauma and other root causal factors in drug addiction and alcohollism that had not taken root in the US. We need people to blame other than ourselves for our various situations in the US; better that than face the truth that our nation is ten times as violent as Canada, that we have the highest number of peope incarcerated in the world for all the wrong reasons (fully 1,000,000 are in jail for cannabis alone, and that the worst of us would rather kill poor people than help them. This is why it is that the bible is written the way it is; too bad that the rightwing only reads the killing old testament part, and ignores or rationalizes away their responsibility to the poor and afflicted among us. The main reason fascists resent higher education more than a whole lot of things is because if a person exercises reasonable restraint, hate-mongering and war mongering becomes a much harder task than if a people is angry and emotionally out of control, lusting for a new enemy to blame the situation they are in on. Leaders exploit this in order to fulfill their agendas and goals, however warped those goals may be. Antioch was a place where not only could you do book learning, you could get a lot of hands on experience in what you wanted to do, in order to see if that actually was your chosen field of endeavor. Now as I look back, I wish I had finished college, but in what? All the alternatives are repressed and ridiculed and my country was in the middle of another huge fascist rise that had to be dealt with. It was and I did, but now on to my future again. One necessary prerequisite of any national/global fascist rise is eliminating the parts of higher education that are troublesome for the elite agenda. So now we are going back to the 50's and the authoritarian education that proved to be so unsatisfying for most all of us then. That is why the 60's happened because the nation went so far right and amoral during the 50's under the mcCarthyite wackos then. Many people confuse wealth with brains and that is a big, big mistake this nation has always made. Finally a canadian study found that it is half as expensive for a nation to invest in it's people's abiities and futures than it is not to do so. I had a friend do his pre-med work at Antioch and he went on to better things out of that learning experience. Just remember the CIA is all over higher education in the US; that's why it is so screwed up and corporate.

Comment left on document LEE HARVEY OSWALD & THE UNITARIAN CHURCH, CIA, ALBERT SCHWEITZER COLLEGE, QUAKERS, BILLY GRAHAM, ROCKEFELLER’S MISSIONARIES, JOHN KENNEDY MURDER
Well, one thing that I think could be mentioned in connection with the JFK asssassination, too, is that there may be "red herring" in the whole thing about the multiple shooters. Those who've seemed to prove the multiple shooter scenario unlikely, ha
... ve gone on to assert that disproving that, disproves that there was a conspiracy. This is an error in logic and thinking of monumental proportions. There still is powerful evidence that the motorcade route was changed deliberately, and at the last moment, by the mayor and chief of police in Dallas, and that this was to ensure that the motorcade passed directly in front of Oswald's view. Perhaps his view wasn't absolutely perfect, but he was also a much better marksman than many multiple-shooter theorists have claimed. Also, the issue of the "two beeps of a car horn" came up in the interrogation of David Ferrie, who at one point had told Garrison-connected investigators that he was going to be the "escape driver" as well as the "getaway pilot" for Oswald. Ferrie had said that, when Oswald had arrived at a "safe point" after the shooting, he, (Ferrie) was to meet him in a vehicle and the signal was to be "two beeps of the horn." Ferrie had gone on to say that the airfield in question, was located north of Houston. Only years later, during the Iran-Contra investigation, did the existence of that airfield north of Houston emerge. Oswald's housekeeper had stated that, on assassination day, shortly after Oswald ran into the front door and briefly into his room, (then left again to apparently try to meet someone at the theater), she had seen a police car pull up and had heard "two beeps of a car horn". All this powerfully suggests the David Ferrie was, indeed, a co-conspirator, and that, through his ties to the CIA and Clay Shaw (who was subsequently determined to be CIA) could have implicated at least some other persons at CIA. One name that just jumps out at you, of course, was that of Allen Dulles, a the former DCIA who'd been fired not long before by JFK. Dulles had tons to cover up about his WW2 treasons. No longer at the helm at CIA, (a position he'd essentially been able to maintain under the Truman Admin., the last potentially hostile one), he may have been somewhat nervous this could be revealed after all. (CIA control had been held by WW2 traitor types continuously throughout the Truman and Ike years. With the firing of Dulles by JFK, that whole can of worms was at risk of being opened.) Only hours before, Nixon's VP candidate, Henry Cabot Lodge, had helped instigate the coup that toppled and killed Diem. This was CIA insider double-dealing, too. Jack Ruby, killer of Oswald, had links to the same Chief of Police of Dallas that had helped re-route the motorcade. It only takes one man with a rifle to actually do these things. Keeping it simple, making arrangements around him, then taking him out when it's done--that's a workable conspiracy. Yet, if you can't make it more complicated, by working in another shooter on the grassy knoll, the "skeptics" claim it "proves there's no conspiracy." Best, Max S.

Nice article, but it is the last sentence is wrong. Belli and Tonahill did not manage to get the trial verdict reversed! Belli was fired by the Ruby family almost immediately after the March 1964 verdict...Tonahill had a brief stay on the appeal team
... and then dismissed early on. It was Sol Dann and Elmer Gertz who led the appeal process and they where the ones who got Judge Brown disqualified and the damaging police testimony thrown out.

REPUBLICANS KILLED A MAN OF FREEDOM, A MAN OF PEACE, A MAN OF EQUALITY, THE THINGS SORLEY LACKING IN USA... A MAN OF FREEDOM DIES AND YOUR ALL RESTRICTED TRAVEL... A MAN OF PEACE DIES AND USA CONTIUES TO TERRORIZE AND BULLY OTHER NATIONS AND GO TO WAR... A MAN OF EQUALITY DIES AND PEOPLE ARE MANIPULATED... A MAN OF CIVIL RIGHTS DIES AND YOUR ALL TRACKED AND PHONES MONITORED AND RECORDED.... USA IS ILLUSION OF FREEDOM WHEN IN FACT DOES OPPOSITE...

I recommend this book to everyone wanting to know more about the Kennedy coup. I'd never really heard much about Allen Dulles but now I feel he was the reason we lost Kennedy. He's directly responsible for changing the path of America down its rock
