Should We Believe Victor Marchetti?, Part One

[Tom Graves]

“A May 15, 1973, memo in the files of researcher Richard Popkin recounts a conversation with former CIA official Victor Marchetti in which Marchetti reportedly offered "a theory he claimed to have heard that fits with his own picture of the chaos in the CIA; namely that the KGB has infiltrated the CIA and the CIA has infiltrated the KGB so it is impossible at the present stage to tell who is who (he mentioned a case of having been sent to meet somebody and being shown all sorts of identification and then being totally unable to tell whether he was dealing with a U.S. or Russian agent). Marchetti thinks it is the KGB branch of the CIA that killed Kennedy and that the U.S. CIA is too embarrassed to investigate and reveal the real state of affairs."

This is interesting.

Did Marchetti think E. Howard Hunt was a KGB "mole"?

If so -- and if he was correct -- it might explain Hunt's allegedly telling Douglas Caddy that the CIA(?) or the Military(?) killed JFK because he was fixin' to tell Khrushchev about "The Alien Presence."

AFAIK, Marchetti did not consider EH Hunt as a KGB mole.

Should We Believe Victor Marchetti?, Part Three

Marchetti started a homophobic newspaper in 1982. I present some of the articles from three of its issues, as well as a revealing Washington Pos profile of Marchetti.

Should We Believe Victor Marchetti?, Part Two 

Marchetti was part of a hoax in 1978 when he published an article linking E. Howard Hunt to the JFK assassination. He claimed there was a 1966 CIA memo that stated there was a high-level meeting at HQ to discuss a "limited hangout" strategy. They would admit Hunt was involved in order to protect its clandestine services. The only problem is that there was no such memo.

Dear Fred,

If Hunt was a "mole," Marchetti was probably right.

Regardless, he was correct when he said Clay Shaw was just a contact source for the CIA, not a CIA operative.

Reposting this here for you:

Did you know that James Angleton's confidant, mentor, and mole-hunting superior, probable KGB "mole" Bruce Solie, was, according to (JFKA CT!!!) Malcolm Blunt, "all over the Kennedy investigation and all over Clay Shaw for Jim Garrison"?

Note: At the 1:00:30 mark, Blunt says "Jim DiEugenio . . . Jim DiEugenio" when he meant to say "Jim Garrison . . . Jim Garrison."
