JFK Assassination Forum

Mr Blunt:

Over at the https://www.jfkassassinationforum.com/ we are wondering about brief remarks you made about Bruce Solie "being all over Jim Garrison” or something to that effect.

As I am sure you know, researcher John Newman recently issued his narrative of Solie, as a KGB mole running LHO.

This opens up whole new can of worms.

Solie's efforts in regards to the WC and HSCA were to promote Nosenko as a truth-teller on LHO, and much else.

I realize this is an unpopular idea, that LHO may have been a G2 or KGB asset.

Anything there?

If someone has a better address....

Have you watched Bart Kamp's September 10, 2021 "Lone Gunman" YouTube interview of Blunt titled "Yuri Nosenko and the JFK Assassination," or some-such thing, or are you incapable of doing that in Thailand?

Near the end he says, "Solie was all over the JFK Investigation," and "For Jim DiEugenio ... for Jim DiEugenio  ..." when he meant to say "for Jim Garrison ... for Jim Garrison, he's the person who's all over Clay Shaw ..."

Not completely germane to this thread, but I happened to be reading an old thread on the Ed Forum about Larry Hancock's "Oswald Puzzle" book (a thread which of course descended into the usual mishmash of competing conspiracy theories). FWIW, Larry chimed in with a very succinct summary of his own theory:

After having written four books dealing with the assassination, including NEXUS which discusses in detail where and how the attack in Dallas originated within the CIA, evolved within CIA Cuban operations and was carried out by a combination of CIA officers and experienced, highly capable anti-Castro - some of whom they had worked with since 1960 in the Cuba project - I'm a little surprised that someone would have questions about my views on the CIA and the assassination.   Especially given  Tipping Point and our Wheaton Leads paper, which name names and give even further detail. Not to mention The Oswald Puzzle which points to how Oswald was manipulated and ultimately framed by a subset of the individuals within that same group.  So for those who had were uncertain, hopefully that makes it clear and will be sufficient - well that and the books and monographs.

For those who don't know, Larry also wrote a 464-page book about UFOs in 2017. Know how much attention it received? NONE, NADA, ZILCH. As one intimately involved in ufology, I have never seen it mentioned. I was very surprised myself, and Larry must have extremely disappointed. (It was published by Treatise Publishing - which, as far as I can tell, does not exist apart from this book.)

As sincere as I think Larry and even Newman, Blunt, Morley, Simpich, etc., are, I believe they all fit a certain "type" that is not unusual even in the legal community. They absolutely overwhelm themselves with documents and details and acronyms and personalities to the point that they can no longer see (or think) straight. They have not only lost sight of the forest for the trees, they have lost sight of the trees for the leaves. It's not that their work is bogus, it's mostly that they make connections that simply aren't there and fill in all the gaps with speculation that fits the pet theory with which they have become obsessed.

The one flaw - always, always, always - is trying to fit the ACTUAL Oswald, the ACTUAL man and what we KNOW about his life - into that picture. Hancock takes the easy way out, by having Oswald be pretty much who the LN narrative says he was but also a complete, unwitting dupe of sinister, anti-Castro forces including elements of the CIA. But then we bump up against, as we always do, the events of 11-21 and 11-22 and Dealey Plaza itself. It ... just ... doesn't ... work.

BTW, I haven't even read Hancock's UFO book - so you KNOW it's obscure! 

Sorry for the interruption.

That is not Blunt's e-mail address. Anyone have it?

It was Malcolm Blunt who said the Bruce Solie was all over the Garrison investigation.

I wonder what he meant.

IIRC, he said "Solie was all over the Kennedy Investigation," and "all over Clay Shaw for Jim Garrison."

If the government wants to take my gun from me, they will have to take it out of my dead cold hand.

Or from the back of my waistband before shooting me.
