I'm reading this Jefferson Morley article in Playboy with a gas mask on and the windows open. He's working for the CIA sure as sewage stinks.
All in bold below are longtime CIA venues-
Editor's note: Jefferson Morley, a former editor and staff writer for washingtonpost.com, is the author of the forthcoming book, Our Man in Mexico: Winston Scott and the Hidden History of the CIA, published by the University Press of Kansas. He has written about the Kennedy assassination for Reader's Digest, the New York Review of Books, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Salon, Washington Monthly and the Miami New Times.
Bob Woodward, my former colleague at the Washington Post, once warned me in a collegial way that the story of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was a journalistic "black hole," and so it is.
Say what about Vincent Bugliosi?
Perhaps the single most intriguing story to emerge from the JFK files concerns a career CIA officer named George Joannides. He died in 1990 at age 67, taking his JFK secrets to the grave in suburban Washington. His role in the events leading up to Kennedy's death and its confused investigatory aftermath goes utterly unmentioned in the vast literature of JFK's assassination. Vincent Bugliosi's otherwise impressive 1,600 page book debunking every JFK conspiracy theory known to man mentions him only in an inaccurate footnote.
Here Morley covers Robert Blakey's lying ass with 'gosh, he was deceived.'
Shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
When the story of the Joannides file emerged, former HSCA chief counsel G. Robert Blakey was stunned by the audacity of Joannides's deception. Blakey, a former federal prosecutor, thought the Agency had cooperated with Congress's effort to look into JFK's murder. Twenty-three years later he learned that the CIA bureaucrat ostensibly assisting his staff was actually a material witness in the investigation. "The Agency set me up," reported the Washington Post.
Blakey, now a law professor at Notre Dame, says Joannides's actions were "little short of outrageous. You could make a prima facie case that it amounted to obstruction of Congress, which is a felony."
Blakey has long argued that organized crime figures orchestrated Kennedy's assassination. The revelation of Joannides's unknown role has given him second thoughts about the CIA's credibility.
"You can't really infer from the Joannides story that they [the CIA] did it," he says. "Maybe he was hiding something that is not complicitous in a plot but merely embarrassing. It certainly undermines everything that they have said about JFK's assassination."
Gee, Oswald really did it?
Bringuier went so far as to issue a press release on Oswald, calling for a congressional investigation of the then-obscure ex-Marine. "Write to your congressman for a full investigation on Mr. Lee H. Oswald, a confessed 'Marxist,'" the DRE spokesman wrote on August 21, 1963.
Did George Joannides of the CIA ignore Bringuier's prescient and potentially life-saving call for investigating Oswald?
Wait, Castro did it.
Whether Oswald ever read this recruiting pitch is unknown. What is certain is that the CIA's campaign of assassination had gotten inside Castro's head. The same week that See hit the newsstands in Miami, the canny Cuban leader pulled aside an Associated Press reporter at a diplomatic reception in Havana. He said that he knew the CIA was plotting to kill him or his brother. "We are prepared to...answer in kind," the Cuban leader said. If American plots continued, he added, "United States leaders would be in danger...they themselves will not be safe."
Oh, and that totally faked story about Oswald going to Mexico? Now it is true again and Morley is rerunning the CIA's fabrications.
In September 1963, a month after confronting Joannides's assets in New Orleans, Oswald went to Mexico City and visited the Cuban consulate, seeking a visa. He passed through a CIA surveillance program code-named LIERODE. He then visited the Soviet Embassy where his voice was picked up by a telephonic wiretapping program known as LIENVOY. (These recordings of Oswald, seized from the home office safe of Mexico City station chief Win Scott, were hidden from investigators and later destroyed.)
Seems the JFK researchers online are just "chat groups" of "furious partisans" when it comes to "new documents." Of course, the authenticity of those "new documents" is extremely suspect.
Say, isn't that negative framing and injection of possible disinfo? I'd say.
This cable, dated October 10, 1963, is no smoking gun. But is one of the key new documents in the JFK paper trail whose significance is not appreciated by the mainstream media or the furious partisans of the JFK chat groups.
Here Morley tells us why the vigilant CIA was paying attention to that 'lone commie, Oswald' and repeats all the cover created for a double agent-suckered-into-patsy as if he was just homegrown trouble up to no good on his own. What blatant falsehood here-
The interest of these senior officials does not necessarily imply anything more sinister than a bureaucracy's natural tendency to cover its ass. The CIA had ample reason to be monitoring Oswald in late 1963. He publicly supported the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, a pro-Castro group, formally classified as a "subversive" organization by U.S. national security agencies. He attempted to travel to Cuba via Mexico, a signal of intent to violate U.S. law. Naturally, the Agency was paying attention.
"Naturally, the Agency was paying attention." Oh, brother.
But wait! Now for some misleading tapdancing around the Zapruder film segueing into...
TA DA - 9/11 DISINFO! WOO HOO!
There have also been interesting developments from the crime scene, perhaps the most important of which may seem like a no-brainer: The famous 26-second Zapruder home movie of JFK's murder contains original undoctored photographic imagery of the assassination. This authentication was deemed necessary by the Assassination Records Review Board, created by Congress to oversee the release of JFK records, because a vocal faction of JFK conspiracy theorists in the 1990s started claiming that the film had been surreptitiously altered to hide evidence of a conspiracy. (Their theory refuted, these conspiracy theorists abandoned the JFK field for greener pastures of 9/11 speculation.)
This is my favorite example of this articles's misdirection.
When it gets around to the medical evidence, one of the most gruesome parts of the cover-up that also points right at the highest levels (like Pentagon/CIA) is that JFK's mostly destroyed brain was first substituted with another less damaged one for autopsy photos and then after it was stored by itself as evidence...it disappeared sometime in 1965 or 1966.
Dr. Gary Aguilar's work is minimized by Morley but here is Aguilar on this-
http://www.consortiumnews.com/1999/c010699b.htmlSo how does Morley 'dispose' of this brain evidence in his disinfo article?He turns it into a mere figure of speech-
II. CSI Dallas
There have also been interesting developments from the crime scene, perhaps the most important of which may seem like a no-brainer: The famous 26-second Zapruder home movie of JFK's murder contains original undoctored photographic imagery of the assassination.
"...a no-brainer..." Get it? Hunh-hunh? Get it? "...a no-brainer...."
This Morley guy is SUCH A JOKER. Such the funny man, haw-haw.
Now for more gobs of negative framing of JFK researchers here when the dictabelt recording is refuted by a Mr. O'Dell-
O'Dell is an unobtrusively brilliant man who lives with his wife in Fresno, California. By day, he runs the technology department of an insurance company. O'Dell is not one of those people drawn to the assassination by interest in the Kennedys or true crime stories or political conspiracies or the Mafia or anything like that -- and that is a great strength of his work. He does not embody the paranoid style in American politics. He embodies the empirical style sorely lacking in most JFK coverage. His methods are detached, analytical, polite and methodical. His e-mail exchanges with Thomas are civil.
Here's severe minimization of the enormous number of people who heard shots from the grassy knoll and fenceline plus a misleading photo instead of the stunning photos showing a stampede of people and cops towards the grassy knoll-
The HSCA asked two other nationally known acoustic scientists, Mark Weiss and Ernest Aschkenasy, to examine Barger's data, focusing on the alleged from the grassy knoll. They found that the pattern of impulses closely matched the pattern from the Dictabelt. They concluded there was a 95 percent probability of a shot from the grassy knoll.
This finding confirmed what a substantial minority of the people at the crime scene thought. The book reviewers don't seem to know it but at the very least a significant minority of eyewitnesses thought at least one gun shot came from in front of JFK's motorcade.
"...a substantial minority...a significant minority..."
That's misleading minimization. I'm still trying to find the stills from Tina Towner's filming of the assassination aftermath with a stampede of people up to the grassy knoll and overpass to find the perps.
Now one disinformationist pays tribute to another as Morley pimps the CIA's lead online JFK liar, John McAdams-
One of the more judicious surveys of statements given by people in the crowd in the vicinity of the motorcade found that 40 out of 103 bystanders said that at least some of the gunfire came from behind a stockade fence atop the knoll. The tally was done by John McAdams, a Marquette University professor who runs a reliable website that debunks JFK conspiracy theories.
Morley is an unmitigated disinformationist, no question about it.
The bleat goes on...la di da di da....
That's enough exposing this article's deceptions and frame-ups for now.
Back to just reading this 'blame it on the dead guy' misdirection...
