On The Trail Of Delusion

[Jon Banks]

Thornley was in Mexico City in late August and very early September. He left on September 2nd. Oswald was in Mexico City in
late September. They overlapped in New Orleans for about three weeks.

Pretty amazing how Oswald made enough of an impression on Thornley while in the Marines that he wrote about Oswald prior to the JFK assassination...

[Fred Litwin]

Not true. Thornley decided to write a book that would explain "the particular phenomenon of
disillusionment with the United States after serving in the Marine Corps overseas in a peacetime
capacity." The main character, Johnny Shellburn, was to be based on several marines, including
Oswald. But before Thornley could finish his book, The Idle Warriors, Oswald defected to the
Soviet Union, and Thornley had to reconsider his ending.

Check out my book, "On The Trail of Delusion, Jim Garrison: The Great Accuser" for
the full story on Kerry Thornley.

I gotta say Fred, regarding Garrison and New Orleans, you are the man.  Keep up the great work.

Well, if you want to be praised by a known plagiarist and fabulist, ..so be it.

Jim Garrison used the grand jury to terrorize people. He had the subpoena power
to get people into the grand jury room where they would not have access to a lawyer. Then he would charge them with perjury, which is a felony.

Shows what people know about a grand jury...Witnesses are not heard by a grand jury....defense attorneys are not present at a grand jury---Only a DA and 12 people are present in a grand jury. How ludicrous can you get?

Clay Shaw was found not guilty... therefore there was no conspiracy and Oswald remains the assassin..... The logic of the Kool-Aid drinking, lone nut dwelling, bottom feeders.

[Joffrey van de Wiel]

Harold Weisberg believed that Thornley, posing as 'Mr. Osborne' ordered and picked up the FPCC handbills Oswald distributed in New Orleans. The employees of the printing shop didn't recognize photos of Oswald, but identified (apparently) this Thornley character.
