Military-Industrial aspects of the assassinationby gemantel on Mon, Jul 14, 2008, 8:23 AM EDT (#1721)
Comment on Site Section: JFK Assassination
With reference to the "People" section, I would like to see more about the Military-Industrial angles to the assassination. Suggestions: Post Peter Dale Scott's "The Dallas Conspiracy" at this site, which seems to be unavailable elsewhere; also, there was an article by a Marv Albertson with regards to H.L. Hunt which also might be of interest (as spotted at an Illinois museum). I think the whole M-I angle has been mysteriously underplayed throughout these various investigations.

I am most pleased that Rex has chosen to include Gaeton's keynote speech from the 1993 Conference of "The Third Decade." It was my honor to co-host, with journal editor Dr. Jerry Rose and my friend, mentor and comrade Dr. George Michael Evica, that memorable and important gathering. For the record, the conference was held in Providence, Rhode Island on June 18-20. Presenters included the co-hosts plus Dennis Ford and Mark Zaid, James Folliard, Anthony Marsh, Monte Evans, R.B. Cutler, Richard Bartholomew, Joanne Braun, Mike Sylwester, Martin Shackelford, Vince Palamary, John McLoughlin, Louis Sproesser, and Kenneth Rahn. Dr. Rose subsequently published a 199-page conference "Proceedings." If the MFF is interested in reprinting it, I can loan my copy for reproduction purposes. On a social note: Prior to delivering his address, Gaeton joined the co-hosts and their highly significant others for a spectacular Italian dinner at Pizzico, the Hope Street bistro that, fifteen years later, remains one of Providence's most rewarding restaurants. I can't walk through Pizzico's doors without fondly recalling that evening and the company I kept. Kudos, Rex. Thanks for the memories. To absent friends. Charlie Drago Oswald backyard photos

Comment on document: The HSCA and Fraud in the Backyard Rifle Photos
In descriptions I have read of what the individual purporting to be Oswald is holding in his hand, it has been described as a copy of 'The Militant' and a copy of the 'Daily Worker'. To anyone familiar at all with the U.S. Left, this is a most incongruous combination. One is the organ of the Communist Party, USA, and the other of the Socialist Workers Party, a Trotskyist group. No Communist would hold a copy of the 'Militant'; similarly, no SWP'er would hold a copy of the 'Stalinist' 'Daily Worker'. Someone with little knowledge of the Left --e.g. someone composing a photo to frame Oswald in the public mind, quite possibly might not be familiar with the bitter rivalry between the two groups. It has always struck me as one of the most unlikely aspects of those very suspect photographs. Beverly Oliver

Comment on document: Where Were You When the President Was Shot, Beverly?
It shocks me to see how many individuals believe that Oliver is the Babushka Lady. If you read her testimony before the AARB you will notice that my name is mention on two occassions. My inital research started in the late 1970's to track this B-Lady or Woman with Camera (WWC). My final conclusions is that the two out of focus images were exposed by the B-Lady and process at the Kodak company the same day. Additionaly, efforts were made by Jack Ruby and Tom Howard to sell these images as noted in a S.S. report interview with Eva Grant. Several additional reports were generated by the FBI and the CIA concerning a film shot by a German citizen in Michgan. However, what the research fails to exaimine both by the critic's and government regarding Earl Ruby. Years ago, I sent my final analysis to Mr Earl Ruby for comment. In time this analysis will become available along with the possibility about the final whereabouts of these two slides. But not at this time, there is too many researchers whom became blinded by their inability to carefully review the evidence. Personally attacks by these so-called-researchers on me and others whom have challenge Oliver's claims are the reason. I believe that the real B-Lady died some time ago. That the personal check between Ruby and Howard will gave us insight into this case. Kramer photographs

A CIA document stated that 150 color slides were acquired from Kramer but only two images were retain by the agency. More »
