Joan Mellen Went Full Crackpot

Nothing. I can't even get in touch with him.

Bummer.

Don't they have a postal service in Thailand?

If so, maybe you can do some "detective work" and figure out where Malcolm J. J. Blunt lives in England and send him a L-E-T-T-E-R.

FL-

That was not the way Blunt put it. He described Solie as being "all over" Garrison.

John Newman has posited Solie, a KGB asset, was running LHO.

If true, that might explain Solie's intense interest in what LHO had been doing in N.O.

If not true, Solie might have legitimately been interested in finding out if LHO was a G2 asset.

Gus Russo has said LHO interacted with G2 assets in N.O.

The CIA historian in writing referred to Clay Shaw, who perjured himself in the Garrison trial, as a "highly paid" CIA asset. This is rather explicit.

Shaw was a domestic asset, but of course had international connections and information, and traveled as well.

[Tom Graves]

Clay Shaw perjured himself in the Garrison trial.

Shaw was asked under oath by his own attorney if he had ever "worked for" the CIA.

Shaw said, "No," which was technically correct since he wasn't paid for what he did.

So, you're mistaken when you say Shaw "perjured himself."

The CIA historian wrote that Shaw had been a "highly paid" CIA asset.

 

J. Kenneth McDonald wrote in the cobbled-together, 23-years-after-the-fact report that Shaw had been a "highly paid CIA contract source [from 1948] until 1956."

Unless he was misled by probable KGB "mole" Bruce Solie or probable KGB "mole" Leonard V. McCoy, McDonald made two big mistakes -- mistakes which the likes of James DiEugenio, Oliver Stone, and Vladimir Putin absolutely treasure -- he said "highly paid" when he should have said "highly valued," and he said "contract source" when he should have said "contact source."

What the heck is a "contract source," anyway?

LOL!

I will stand by the CIA historian's description of Clay Shaw, unless you can present evidence to back up your description of Shaw.

"BC,"

Documents proving that Clay Shaw was a highly valued contact source for the CIA are on the Internet.

I'm sure you can find them if you look for them.

Regardless, J. Kenneth did get one thing right in his error-filled, cobbled-together 23-years-after-the-fact report:

Shaw was a highly valued I mean highly paid CIA contact source I mean CIA contract source until 1956, seven years before he allegedly masterminded the homosexual "thrill kill" I mean allegedly organized the evil, evil, evil CIA's assassination of JFK.

TG--

Perhaps we can address this on a new thread.

This thread is supposed to be about Joan Mellen defecating on herself with her book on the USS Liberty.

IMHO, her book on USS Liberty seriously undermines her credibility in general.
