Passing of Former HSCA Chief Counsel G. Robert Blakey

[Michael T. Griffith]

As you listen to Blakey's interview with Rosenberg, you will hear how passionate he was about the case for conspiracy. He was certain that JFK was killed by a conspiracy, that there was a grassy knoll gunman, that Ruby shot Oswald on orders from the Mafia, and that the lone-gunman theory was untenable. However, you would never know this to read the scathing, draconian attacks on Blakey made by ultra-liberal conspiracy theorists, such as Joan Mellen and Len Osanic.

In his interview with Rosenberg, Blakey said that it was "a possibility" that some CIA-trained anti-Castro Cubans and some of their CIA handlers were involved in the assassination and that there were some "deeply suspicious circumstances" involving those individuals. But, Blakey did not believe the evidence established this scenario beyond the point of suspicion.

Blakey believed that the only scenario that was established beyond the point of suspicion was the Mafia scenario, and for this he was excoriated by both ultra-liberal conspiracy theorists and Warren Commission apologists.

Thankfully, there have been and still are plenty of pro-conspiracy JFKA researchers who are not ultra-liberal and/or who do not buy into the 9/11 Truther craziness and who do not rely on L. Fletcher Prouty's crackpot claims. These researchers include Jeff Sundberg, David Scheim, Anthony Summers, David Mantik, Harold Weisberg, Greg Doudna, Mark Shaw, Richard Mahoney, John H. Davis, Seth Kantor, Gary Cornwell, Stewart Galanor, Gaeton Fonzi, and Lamar Waldron, to name a few.

As you listen to Blakey's interview with Rosenberg, you will hear how passionate he was about the case for conspiracy.

Passion does not equate to correctness. There are people who are passionately wrong about many things. I see examples of that every day on this forum.

What I don't ever see from these passionate CTs is credible evidence to support their beliefs.
