This investigation was entirely unrelated to events in the United States or the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It was fortuitous that the CIA front organizations in Italy that emerged from CIA plans to overthrow the Italian government included Centro Mondiale Commerciale and Permindex, of which Clay Shaw was a director in New Orleans.
Jim Garrison was well on the trail of Shaw and his role as a CIA handler of Lee Harvey Oswald before Paese Sera published its series of articles. When I sent them to Garrison, he had already charged Shaw in relation to the murder of Kennedy. Jim found the Paese Sera series confirmatory and important, but the articles were not admissible as evidence in court.

My comments:
Garrison charged Shaw on the same day he arrested him, 1 March 1967.
The "Paese Sera" article was published on 4 March 1967.
Richard Billings wrote in his diary on 16 March 1967 that Garrison had received “a copy of a French newspaper (L’Humanité) article that supposedly mentions Shaw’s work in Italy.”
The "L' Humanite" article had been translated into English for Garrison and was based on the "Paese Sera" article.
Garrison met with "Saturday Evening Post" writer James Phelan in Las Vegas on 3/05/67 and told him that Shaw had masterminded a Loeb-and-Leopold-like "homosexual thrill-kill" assassination of JFK.
Garrison's father-in-law's 1968 Obit was the "Rosetta Stone" in my research and led to this confirmation. Since I came upon it as a last step, it did not influence the
direction of my research, only confirming whatI had already found, spurred by my discovery of that Obit.
