Joan Mellen Went Full Crackpot

[Fred Litwin]

you are right, but who cares?

This preoccupation with Solie is just plain silly, and he had little to do with Garrison.

Dear Fweddy,

As you surely "absorbed" during your “I Was a Teenage JFK Conspiracy Freak” years:

1) The KGB* is a world-class humanitarian organization compared to the evil, evil CIA,

2) the evil, evil CIA was NEVER penetrated by a mole or two or three until Aldrich Ames started spying for the Ruskies in 1985, and

3) evil, evil James Angleton’s confidant, mentor, and mole-hunting superior, Bruce Leonard Solie, was just the “dour, plodding, risk-averse” mole hunter that he appeared to be!

*Today’s SVR and FSB

Your buddy,

— Tom /s

PS If you don't care, why did you go to the trouble of mistakenly challenging what I said?

What does Solie have to do with Garrison.

I searched my private database of over 20,000 pages of documents, mostly garrison related, and his name
came up twice. When I search the Mary Ferrell site for Solie and Garrison, I get about 10 separate documents.

British researcher and National Archives habitué Malcolm Blunt -- who is correct in saying Yuri Nosenko was a false defector and Bruce Solie was probably a KGB mole, said near the end of a 2021 YouTube interview that Solie was "all over the Kennedy investigation and all over Clay Shaw for Jim Garrison."

Now, you wouldn't think that a dyed-in-the-wool JFK Assassination Conspiracy Theorist like Malcolm Blunt would say such a thing, would you?

But he did.

I'm guessing that he based his statement on documents he found at the National Archives that haven't appeared online yet.
