An Oswald Witness (From "The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: How the CIA Set Up Oswald" by Mark Lane, Hustler, October 1978) Recently, a former Marine who had served with Oswald in Santa Ana, California, after Oswald had returned from Atsugi, began to talk about his discussions with him. His name is David Bucknell… Bucknell told me that one day he and Oswald went to a tavern near the base to drink a few beers. Two women approached them. Later that day Oswald told Bucknell the incident with the women reminded him of a experience he had...
CIA and Drugs (I do not want to focus exclusively on the JFK assassination and I realize that so far in this blog I have just been throwing things out there almost at random. I currently do not have a computer at home so I am limited to what I can do in about half an hour on my lunch break at work and while visiting my daughter (Hi Tara!) on weekends. Hopefully, after I get a new home computer I will be able to get a little more focused.) Today, a news article I came across in my files (emphasis added): (Cincinatti Post, October 2, 1976) Justice...
So just how much truth was there to the National Enquirer story quoted yesterday? Deputy Billy J. Preston and some of his associates also spoke to the Dallas Morning News in 1976. I don't have a copy of this article but found this on the web:On March 28, 1976, the Dallas *Morning News* ran an unusual story when four Dallas deputy constables decided to come forward to relate something that had been bothering them for a very long time. Shortly after the assassination the four had examined a box of handwritten notes and assorted other papers in the...

Karl Rove and Valerie PlameThis is the first time I have posted on anything that happened in this century but last night I was watching Fox and they had G. Gordon Liddy talking about Valerie Plame. Liddy, of course, rightly did time in a federal prison, and hopefully Karl Rove will also. Liddy was saying that Plame was not a CIA operative and it was all no big deal and just politics. The CIA apparently disagrees according to this story from 2003 from the Detroit Free Press.CIA leak undercuts U.S. spies Naming agent endangers lives, experts decideOctober...
Reasons of State-Part 2The allegation that Oswald was a suspect at the time of the Walker assassination attempt in April of 1963--and that he was either arrested and let go or that his arrest was prevented--have been around for a long time but only recently have I seen any evidence at all to support it.The following is from notes found in the collection of researcher Irvin Heineman. The notes are apparently from conversations Irv had with Sue Fitch concerning her interview of witness Juanita Buchanan, wife of Larry Buchanan, the owner of a "dive...
Reasons of State-Part 1From the Warren Commission Report (p.591 of the New York Times Edition) :Speculation.--The Dallas police suspected Oswald and Ruby of being involved in an attack on General Walker and planned to arrest the two when the FBI intervened, at the request of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, and asked the police not to do so for...
James Jesus AngletonFrom "The Secret History of the CIA" by Joseph Trento, p. 479:I asked the dying old man how it all went so wrong.With no emotion in his voice, but with his hand trembling, Angleton replied: "Fundamentally, the founding fathers of the U.S. intelligence were liars. The better you lied and the more you betrayed, the more likely you would be promoted. These people attracted each other. Outside of their duplicity, the only thing they had in common was a desire for absolute power. I did things that, in looking on my life, I regret....

More on QKENCHANTFrom Jerry Shinley:Some points related to your interesting entry on QKENCHANT:1. J. Monroe Sullivan's San Francisco Trade Mart is not the same institution as Clay Shaw's New Orleans Trade Mart.2. I think the Benjamin Sonnenberg Jr mentioned by Mark Lane is the son of the Sonnenberg cleared for QKENCHANT. Ben Jr. is a friend of Alexander Cockburn and has claimed he worked for the CIA in Europe.http://basicbooks.com/perseus/book_detail.jsp?isbn=15824304543. After 10 years, the CIA responded to my appeal of the withholding of information...
Oswald and Albert Schweitzer College by Greg Parker (with permission and thanks)On March 4, 1959, 5 days prior to be being promoted to Private 1st Class for the second time, Lee Harvey Oswald completed an application to attend the Albert Schweitzer College in Switzerland. The application was lodged on 19 of March, with a $25.00 registration fee being made on June 19. August 17 found him applying for a dependency discharge from the Marines which was duly granted on the 28th of that month. Exactly one week later, Lee applied for a passport, listing...
Project QKENCHANT: According to a 1992 CIA release that summarizes Clay Shaw's contacts with the CIA:"A memorandum marked only for file, 16 March 1967, signed Marguerite D. Stevens, says that J. Monroe SULLIVAN, #280207, was granted a covert security approval on 10 December 1962 so that he could be used in Project QKENCHANT. SHAW has #402897-A."William Davy, in Let Justice Be Done, has argued that this memo shows that Clay Shaw was "an active covert operative." Others, including an alleged ex-CIA employee posting on the internet, have maintained...
