Professor Pearcy's Bad History Lesson

Professor Pearcy's Bad History Lesson

Professor Thomas Pearcy is the supposed CIA whistleblower who allegedly saw CIA documents which indicated the agency fooled G. Robert Blakey of the HSCA. He gave a speech last week in Indiana and here is an analysis of his speech -- and a full transcript. He didn't sound like a professor of history -- he just sounded like a JFK conspiracy theorist. Why would anybody take him seriously?

"JFK conspiracy theorist" is a much kinder word than my preferred term which is "kook", but you're much more polite than I am, Fred.

Let's pick out a good one (so many to choose from): Dr. Pearcy says "The Sixth Floor Museum" is a "false flag operation". And a "completely false flag operation" at that. Whatever that means. Here's the claim from him:

"One really good example of a false flag operation is the Sixth Floor Depository in Dallas, Texas. If you've ever been there, it is completely a false flag operation, and I know the people that run the false flag operation. I will not say it here because I still enjoy family life, but we'll probably get that in the Congressional Record at some point."

A false flag? That makes no sense to me unless by "false flag" he simply means a covert operation or program. My understanding is that a "false flag" is an act done by one party or group under disguise that is intended to implicate a second party in the act. So a group of soldiers in disguise, enemy uniforms for example, commit an act - massacre civilians - in order to make it look like the enemy soldiers committed the crime. That is, a deception, a ruse involving an act or acts. So how does this definition apply to the Museum? The Museum is pretending to be who? To blame who for what? Acting how?

Okay, so the museum is simply a covert operation; forget the "false flag" nonsense. That means people like Gary Mack and others who work(ed) in the museum are or were willingly (I assume?) part of a covert operation? Agents acting on behalf of the CIA? They are lying to the public, engaged in deception. For decades. And right now. Today. As you read this. Whew.

What is his evidence for this claim? It's a pretty serious allegation. Dr. Pearcy is not simply some guy on the internet (like me and you reading this). He's an accomplished person making public statements. He's testified before Congress. And is going to do so again. He's accusing the people at the Museum of being frauds, of lying about who they are. And lying about murder. Of the President. Of the United States. And his evidence is?

This is the same Dr. Pearcy who is upset that Fred posted a picture of him with his dog but is fine with accusing all sorts of people of lying for the murder of the President. Does he not see the problem here?

Great video, Fred. Too bad Pearcy turned out to be just another conspiracy kook.

I have told Morley and others that Pearcy's story is highly implausible, to put it gently. I've worked at the kinds of sites Pearcy says he worked at. His account of finding classified files on the JFK case strikes me as wildly unlikely and foreign to my experience at classified sites. I find it very hard to believe that files would have been labeled with the titles he claims to have seen on them, much less that they would have been left out for anyone to peruse, especially in a SCIF. His story is just unbelievable to me.

I've explained these thing to CTers who are pushing his story, but they won't listen.

Interestingly, probable KGB mole Bruce Solie, father-figure-requiring James Angleton's confidant, mentor, and mole-hunting superior in the Office of Security, did hide documents from the Church Committee and the HSCA.

Just one example: Richard Case Nagell

They didn't hide anything about Nagell. That is just plain nonsense.
