"The best article on the assassination," --Judge Jim Garrison. You know they brought out the big guns to create a cloud of smoke around the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination. Former New York Times reporter Philip Shenon appeared on Face the Nation and revealed some of the more bizarre details of the case. His book received a massive review in the Washington Post. Shenon did cover some of the destruction of evidence that started two weeks before the assassination, when Oswald delivered a note to the Dallas FBI, a note that was quickly destroyed. This destruction continued for months afterwards. Never has so much important evidence in a murder case been so recklessly destroyed. Oswald's note may have indicated a plot against the President, or revealed his role as a deep undercover informant for CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton. We will never know what was in Oswald's note, just like we will never know what was written on the official autopsy, the notes of which were immediately burned. Oswald also tried to leave a note at the Dallas police after he was taken into custody, and that note was also immediately destroyed by the police. There were tremendous machinations inside the Warren Commission to conceal and destroy evidence and limit the investigation. A critical witness from inside the Cuban embassy in Mexico was not interviewed even though she seemed to have crucial knowledge of the plot. The reason? According to Shenon, Chief Justice Earl Warren explained: "We do not interview Communists." This seems especially odd since one of his staff actually contacted Fidel Castro about the case. There was a lot of early effort to paint Castro as a possible controller of Oswald, an effort that was quickly abandoned when it was decided he would forever remain a "lone nut," which is the preferred way for intel to conduct assassination ops. Bob Scheiffer intro'd his segment on the book by stating upfront it comes to the "right" conclusion, which is Oswald acted alone, even though the evidence of a massive coverup is overwhelming at this point, which just goes to show how controlled the US media is. After 50 years no cracks in the official story are allowed, even though the entire disinfo facade has crumbled and even people like me are cracking the case open now that so many whistleblowers have come forward over the last 50 years. The Executive Action Team Angleton assembled to kill Castro (William Harvey, Johnny Roselli) was diverted for the Kennedy hit. Immediately afterwards, a trail of dead bodies began appearing around Angleton, one that included some of his friends, as well as his old buddy Win Scott, who had become dangerous because he was doing his own private investigation into the assassination. According to Roselli, the Texas oil crowd (Hunt, Murchison) put up the $150,000 cash to pay the three shooters, who may have included James Files and Charles Nicoletti.
