Title: Bibi Gaston Book on Mary Pinchot Meyer
Post by: Matt Grantham on December 27, 2022, 04:47:27 AM
 I believe Ms Gaston's is MPM's Niece I am just wondering if anyone knows the book and  whether it follows any of Peter Janney's speculation that MPM may have turned on JFK to LSD?

That's a really good question.  You should try asking Tom Scully about that.  Right, Tom ?  And give him the long answer, oui ?

No Tom ?  OK, I'll start....... the book you refer to by Ms. Gaston is entitled 'The Lovliest Woman in America' (of which I have a signed copy).  Mssr. Janney did indeed 'speculate' as to whether Jack & Mary dosed together.  Ask Jim DiEugenio about that one.  They eat their own at Skyhorse publishing, oui?

Did you read Janney's grand opus 'Mary's Mosaic', sir?  You can google it and start reading the introduction.  Go ahead.....

I, for one, find it difficult to envision JFK sitting cross legged on the floor pondering the question: “Should I try to do some more, twenty five or six to four?”  …

The whole thing really got going when Tim published his autobiography 'Flashbacks' from Jeremy Tarcher's publishing house, and it kinda snowballed from there, at least for me.  It then took a life of its own.  Tim notices (in his footnotes at the end) the strange resonance he has with Cord Meyer.  Lots of footnotes in Janney's book, too.

Cord & Norman were just looking for a safer planet.  Do you blame them?  Ask Dagmar Wilson.  Mary Pinchot was into saving the planet as well.

As to what questions for Jimmy the D, well there's plenty of old threads in the forums to save me a lot of typing.  Lots.  Look them up.  You'll be glad you did.

I don’t go by the name Chuck, but since there isn’t anyone else in this thread that would be likely to be called Chuck, I will respond.

At that time LSD 25 was prevalent and one of the prescription drugs people were doing was methequalone in 400 mg.(version of qualudes). On the side of the pills was the number 624. I doubt very much he was sitting cross legged on the floor trying to write a song on his lap to meet some deadline. It is the position (usually while rocking back and forth) that many people who where tripping late at night would be in. 624 would bring him down to sleep and 25 would continue the trip which he was obviously enjoying. "Spinning room is sinking deep" is hardly an issue when staying up late writing. Writing a song late at night is a good clean story for the masses but more likely at some "hippie house" at that time I would think the drug induced answer would be far more likely and a more memorable experience worth writing a song about. Do you really think I was writing a song at 4 am., gee what a great thing to write a song about? Good luck and believe what you want. Maybe 25 or 6 to 4 is a time for the sake of catchy song but it sounds like a trip either way and going to work is the last thing on someones mind

Great story, Charles !!!  Goes well with a whiter shade of pale.  I was told by Leo Damore that Mary Pinchot had a killer collection of psychedelic literature.  Speaking of songs, did you know I wrote one about Mary, entitled 'Cherries in the Snow', the brand of lipstick she had on her when murdered?  Here is the refrain.......

Well I heard me somethin' strange today
And I'm sure he wuz' a liar
I heard that Billy Mitchell's boy
Done murdered Mary Meyer

Mary Meyer, Mary Meyer
Tell me which spook they done hired
And tell me why they hadst ta' fire
That missin' .38 at Mary Meyer


Et voila......

Nice Lyrics Mark. I didn’t know you were a song writer. There’s a lot of intriguing stuff about Mary’s murder. But it is difficult to know if there is any truth to most of it.


Biographers of both Leary and Meyer have treated Leary's claims with dismissal or caution. Leary biographer Robert Greenfield believes that Leary did have contact with Pinchot Meyer but found no evidence that Pinchot Meyer had taken LSD with Kennedy and writes that "a good deal of what Tim reported as fact in Flashbacks is pure fantasy."[30] Pinchot Meyer biographer Nina Burleigh also believes that Leary and Pinchot Meyer met, but writes that "No one has ever confirmed that Kennedy tried LSD with Mary." She notes, however, that "the timing of her visits to Timothy Leary do coincide with her known private meetings with the president."[11]: 212

You know, I never answered your first question, Matthew.  Bibi Gaston's book does not 'follow' anything.  She doesn't talk about any of that 'speculation'.

Her book on Gifford Pinchot is a nice read as well.  Hoping you have a positive vibe for the next year+

Mark, Happy New Year, salud! Exposing Peter Janney came at too high of a personal price. "The community," did not appreciate nor could it handle the fact that Mary was not murdered by a CIA "wet worker". You were Leo Damore's researcher, ironically one of the few who did not resent my discovery that Janney's bogeyman and Crump murder trial witness William Mitchell was not missing after his trial testimony and never to be found, but was what he claimed, a university level mathematics teacher.

I think the key point I've made for ten years now is that Janney has never spoken or written a word about his father's sister's husband and Rockefeller brothers frontman, Frank Pace, who as chairman of General Dynamics. handed control of that key defense contractor to Tony Accardo associate, Henry Crown. Accardo happened to be Howard Willens's family's next door neighbor and Albert Jenner happened to be Henry Crown's personal attorney and General Dynamics outside counsel. Mary Meyer seems a smoke screen.

"I do think Angleton’s friendship was really a friendship. Certainly Mary’s closest female friends understood it as such. That is why they wanted Angleton to have the sketchbook/diary after Mary’s death. To keep it safe. That’s not to say Angelton wasn’t a devious fellow. One of his skills was precisely to ingratiate himself with people whose interests he did not have at heart. I explain my view of the case in THE GHOST, avaialble here."

Peter Janney Jan 28, 2020 at 9:39AM   

"Utterly ridiculous article by Jeff Morley. His article is rife with factual errors which he continues to promote, the worst of which is stating, “The best book on Mary Meyer is Nina Burleigh’s 1998 study.” Morley COMPLETELY glosses over Ben Bradlee’s testimony at Meyer’s murder trial in 1965. Bradlee, according to sworn testimony, entered Mary’s art studio on the night of the murder with no problem, yet 25 years later he tells us that he had no key to the studio when he discovered Angleton picking the lock the next day. Bradlee’s entire “fish story” in his memoir “A Good Life” contradicts his sworn testimony. How did Bradlee get into the studio on the night of the murder? Jim Angleton was with him and likely picked the lock. It is documented that Angleton was at Bradlee’s house on the night of the murder when Anne Truitt called the house looking for Angleton and informed the Bradlees that Mary had a diary that needed to be immediately found.

Mary Meyer’s artist sketchbook was NOT her real diary. The entire story is a ruse! It was likely concocted by Angleton to keep the public from finding out about the real diary. Angleton absconded with the diary on the night of the murder, likely taken from Meyer’s studio or from her bedroom later that evening."

    Jefferson Morley Jan 28, 2020 at 3:43PM   

    "Let’ just stick to the facts. The discrepancies between Bradlee’s testimony and his book don’t prove that there was a conspiracy to kill Mary Meyer. They show he had something to hid–he did. He sought to make Angleton the bad guy of the story, which made him look better. The claim that Meyer had a diary and sketchbook is not confirmed by any of Meyer’s closest female friends. I urge readers compare Burleigh’s book, A Very Private Woman, and Janney’s book, Mary’s Mosaic. Burleigh is a veteran reporter and less prone to speculation. But don’t take my word for it. Decide for yourself."

From the first revision of Peter Janney's book, (in this 2nd edition Crump murder trial witness Mitchell no longer missing, no longer the CIA "wet worker" who Leo Damore told Attorney Jimmy Smith he had met with...)

"An intimate letter written by President John F. Kennedy to a purported paramour seeking to set up a liaison is one of several Kennedy-related items being sold at auction.

The four-page letter to longtime Kennedy family friend Mary Pinchot Meyer, an artist and former wife of a CIA agent, is thought to have been written in October 1963, about a month before the president's assassination.

"Why don't you leave suburbia for once — come and see me — either here — or at the Cape next week or in Boston the 19th," the letter reads.

(https://www.nydailynews.com/resizer/nIu9sgftCEMnfkcxw2gGAwZTfnU=/1440x0/filters:format(jpg):quality(70)/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tronc.s3.amazonaws.com/public/RN7XD253RJ33FRYNQJ4JKE2DBY.jpg)

"I know it is unwise, irrational, and that you may hate it — on the other hand you may not — and I will love it. You say that it is good for me not to get what I want. After all of these years — you should give me a more loving answer than that. Why don't you just say yes."

It's signed simply "J."

"It's incredible to see the president writing something so personal," said Robert Livingston, the executive vice president of Boston-based RR Auction , which is handling the sale. "We've handled a lot of JFK letters here, and he was always very formal."

The undated letter looks to be written on White House stationery. Although the tops of each page have been cut off, the presidential seal watermarks are visible under light.

The letter was never sent but remained in the collection of Kennedy's longtime personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln. It originated from the estate of Robert White, a friend of Lincoln's and an avid collector of JFK memorabilia who died more than a decade ago.

It is being sold now by an anonymous collector."

"An intimate letter written by President John F. Kennedy to a purported paramour seeking to set up a liaison is one of several Kennedy-related items being sold at auction.

The four-page letter to longtime Kennedy family friend Mary Pinchot Meyer, an artist and former wife of a CIA agent, is thought to have been written in October 1963, about a month before the president's assassination.

"Why don't you leave suburbia for once — come and see me — either here — or at the Cape next week or in Boston the 19th," the letter reads.

"I know it is unwise, irrational, and that you may hate it — on the other hand you may not — and I will love it. You say that it is good for me not to get what I want. After all of these years — you should give me a more loving answer than that. Why don't you just say yes."

It's signed simply "J."

"It's incredible to see the president writing something so personal," said Robert Livingston, the executive vice president of Boston-based RR Auction , which is handling the sale. "We've handled a lot of JFK letters here, and he was always very formal."

The undated letter looks to be written on White House stationery. Although the tops of each page have been cut off, the presidential seal watermarks are visible under light.

The letter was never sent but remained in the collection of Kennedy's longtime personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln. It originated from the estate of Robert White, a friend of Lincoln's and an avid collector of JFK memorabilia who died more than a decade ago.

It is being sold now by an anonymous collector."

Great post, Tom.  Did you know that I kept Mary's memory alive by placing a white cross next to her "killing floor" ?  Just like the one that was erected about a week after her murder (wasn't me then, I promise !!!)  Why, one of them was featured in the Style section of the Washington Post, along with a picture (by Amy Artgentsinger(sic?)?  And, for the record..... I did not bid over fifty dollars for that famous letter !!

Gosh, I guess Matthew G. must be busy with personal matters, we haven't heard a peep from him.  So this post is for good ol' Charlie Collins, containing some stanzas to the 'Cherries in the Snow' ballad written in Mary's memory..........


In nineteen hundred and sixty-four
Around Washington, D.C.
There lived a woman named Mary Meyer
Just as pretty as she could be

She walked on down to the C & O
Wearin' her white gloves and hood
And like Red Ridin' she met a wolf
That was up to no good

Now this wolf did not use his teeth
He used a .38
A double-tap is what it was
That sealed poor Mary's fate

The years fly on
It's not today
Half-century gone by
We learned the truth from Lenny Bruce
But the Company learned us to lie

Oh, Mary Meyer, Mary Meyer (etc.)

Mitchell is 83, now. I'm not happy I outed him to Janney.

"I do think Angleton’s friendship was really a friendship. Certainly Mary’s closest female friends understood it as such. That is why they wanted Angleton to have the sketchbook/diary after Mary’s death. To keep it safe. That’s not to say Angelton wasn’t a devious fellow. One of his skills was precisely to ingratiate himself with people whose interests he did not have at heart. I explain my view of the case in THE GHOST, avaialble here."

Peter Janney Jan 28, 2020 at 9:39AM   

"Utterly ridiculous article by Jeff Morley. His article is rife with factual errors which he continues to promote, the worst of which is stating, “The best book on Mary Meyer is Nina Burleigh’s 1998 study.” Morley COMPLETELY glosses over Ben Bradlee’s testimony at Meyer’s murder trial in 1965. Bradlee, according to sworn testimony, entered Mary’s art studio on the night of the murder with no problem, yet 25 years later he tells us that he had no key to the studio when he discovered Angleton picking the lock the next day. Bradlee’s entire “fish story” in his memoir “A Good Life” contradicts his sworn testimony. How did Bradlee get into the studio on the night of the murder? Jim Angleton was with him and likely picked the lock. It is documented that Angleton was at Bradlee’s house on the night of the murder when Anne Truitt called the house looking for Angleton and informed the Bradlees that Mary had a diary that needed to be immediately found.

Mary Meyer’s artist sketchbook was NOT her real diary. The entire story is a ruse! It was likely concocted by Angleton to keep the public from finding out about the real diary. Angleton absconded with the diary on the night of the murder, likely taken from Meyer’s studio or from her bedroom later that evening."

    Jefferson Morley Jan 28, 2020 at 3:43PM   

    "Let’ just stick to the facts. The discrepancies between Bradlee’s testimony and his book don’t prove that there was a conspiracy to kill Mary Meyer. They show he had something to hid–he did. He sought to make Angleton the bad guy of the story, which made him look better. The claim that Meyer had a diary and sketchbook is not confirmed by any of Meyer’s closest female friends. I urge readers compare Burleigh’s book, A Very Private Woman, and Janney’s book, Mary’s Mosaic. Burleigh is a veteran reporter and less prone to speculation. But don’t take my word for it. Decide for yourself."

From the first revision of Peter Janney's book, (in this 2nd edition Crump murder trial witness Mitchell no longer missing, no longer the CIA "wet worker" who Leo Damore told Attorney Jimmy Smith he had met with...)

Hey, Tom !!  Boy, old Fred Litwin is really stirring things up with 'Team Jimbo', huh?  Shoulda been his protege', oui?  Still can't believe Janney wrote that.  Did Mitchell ever get him to stop publishing?  Remember what happened to Debbie Davis when her book on Kay came out?  Pulp non-fiction !!

The JFK Assassination Decoded: Two Reviews

Jerome Corsi and James DiEugenio review Dr. David Mantik's new book The JFK Assassination Decoded: Criminal Forgery in the Autopsy Photographs and X-rays.

Moreover, if one goes to oswald-innocent.com, the home base of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, run by a guy whose last name rhymes with "Stinky" (LOL, Duncan), it's amazing that Mantik and Jimbo aren't there as 'senior members'.  Everyone else is there........ Corsi,Rivera, Fetzer, Schaeffer, Wrone, Janney, etc.  Lots of dead people there as well, kinda like the Hotel California.....   yeah, I clicked on Jim Di's link in his review you shared that Mantik recommended, did you?  Most of those names came up, with a photo of Jabba Jim Fetzer himself !!!
