Fred, I am very surprised to see you say such a thing, given what we now know about the materials and information that the CIA withheld from the HSCA. As just one example, do you think Lopez and Hardway are lying about being denied access to documents/information they wanted to see? Do you think Fonzi was lying about this? Surely you've read Blakey's 2014 statement about the CIA's obstruction of the HSCA's investigation.

As you know, I am no leftist critic of the CIA. I usually defend the CIA against the outlandish, draconian attacks made against it by liberal JFKA researchers. I believe the CIA has done a great deal of good for America and for the cause of freedom. But, the CIA did have some very bad apples, and some of them held high positions.

One day you'll realize that there were at least three KGB moles in the CIA before Aldrich Ames started spying for that world-class humanitarian organization, and that one of them may have sent Oswald to Moscow as an ostensible "dangle" in an (unbeknownst to Angleton and Oswald) planned-to-fail hunt for "Popov's U-2 Mole" (the guy who sent LHO to Moscow) in the wrong part of the CIA.

I see no indication that the HSCA did not see what it wanted to see.

Bugliosi did in fact identify many errors and distortions that Meagher made in her book Accessories After the Fact, but he also ignored the many valid, factual points that she made. About 65% of her arguments are valid, and about 45% are either invalid or are downright misleading and are based on a severe misrepresentation of her sources.

However, Bugliosi committed a proportionate number of errors and distortions in his book Reclaiming History.

For those who might be interested, here are some of the critical scholarly reviews of Bugliosi's book:

The storm drain shooter theory reveals that there is almost no theory too silly for dedicated CTs to embrace. They will buy into any theory other than the truth that Oswald alone shot JFK. There is zero evidence of shot from the storm drains and The History Channel documentary exposed the impossibility of a storm drain shot.

The clip did expose another of Oliver Stone's lies that I had previously missed. Garrison's assistant claimed Oswald would have to have fired the head shot 88 yards through heavy foliage. Of course that's ludicrous. Anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of the facts knows when the head shot was fired, JFK had been clear of the foliage for 5 1/2 seconds. Oliver Stone is a despicable liar.

How about z193?:



JFK and JBC are both looking in the same direction: car right about 3 o’clock. But JFK’s neck is turned about 3 o’clock to his shoulders and JBC about 12:30 to his.

Note: The blue line outlines JBC’s left shoulder and the green line demarcates Kellerman’s right shoulder which blocks part of JBC’s left side.

His head is turn that far to the right. His torso is not and that is what matters. There is no way a bullet exiting JFK's throat at Z193 is going to go to the left of JBC's torso. It is impossible.

I dunno, but suspect not.

There were "CIA'ers" who were but assets, and there were thousands of them in the US in 1963, due to the Cuba situation. Could have one or two anti-Castro hotheads (and many were plenty angry) hooked up with LHO? Sure.

In addition, DGI and G-2'ers were in the LHO orbit.

Some, such as Rolando Cubela, were thought to be double agents.

You know the Bruce Solie story. If Solie had "handed off" LHO to DGI, and then LHO did the deed with some help, then does that become "CIA involvement" in the JFKA?

The reason JBC is turned so far to his right in Z-193 is not to look at Mary Woodward and her three clapping-and-cheering journalism colleagues (as JFK is doing), but because he recognized Oswald's first, missing-everything, shot 3.77 seconds earlier, and, after turning his head quickly to his left (starting in Z-150) to see if Nellie was okay, started turning back to his right in Z-165 to see if JFK was okay.
