Yes, as I did. But, I post primary Garrison documents everyday.
For instance, Garrison's two memos on propinquity are not
available anywhere on the web except on my blog. I posted
a statement from Joel Palmer, a Garrison investigator, that
has not been published elsewhere.

Cynic Tonkovich doesn't understand -- much less appreciate -- the concept of primary research, and the work it represents.

Thank you, Fred.

Jim Garrison's Playboy Interview - What couldn't Be Published

Jim Garrison's Playboy Interview - What Couldn't Be Published

The October 1967 issue of Playboy contained its longest ever interview - 20,000 words with Jim Garrison. Over five million copies were printed and it gave Garrison huge exposure.

Today, I have posted, for the first time ever, Sylvia Meagher's 3-page letter to Playboy about the interview. She wasn't too happy.

And, also for the first time ever, a memo that interviewer Eric Norden sent to Playboy with information from Garrison that was too confidential to put in the magazine. Garrison wanted to show Playboy that he had the 'stuff' and so several confidential memos were written to convince them.

This week: The other secret Playboy memos.

Having read the "primary research" of Tom Purvis, and inasmuch as I do "appreciate" his amazing work, I would have to disagree.
Oxford defines "cynic" as "a person who believes that people are motivated purely by self interest rather than acting for honorable or unselfish reasons."
Bugliosi, Mailer, Posner - plagiarist who presented "secondary " research as "primary" - and others certainly come to mind.
"Cynic"? Yes, I am guilty as charged. Happily so. :)

Yes John, Fred is marketing his book. The reason he is doing that is because it is self-published. I happen to believe that it is a valuable project that uses new material to expose the Garrison fraud. But anyone can make up their own mind and ignore him if they wish.

Bugliosi, Mailer and Posner all interviewed numerous witnesses, some who were never interviewed before, and found primary sources of information on the assassination, directly and indirectly.

For example, Mailer interviewed the Belarus KGB agents who monitored Oswald. And also many of the associates that Oswald knew when he was in Minsk. And he (Mailer) read the KGB files on Oswald. This was all original material/information.

Posner interviewed, among others, Yuri Nosenko. Bugliosi interviewed McClelland and got him to admit that the head wound was further forward then in the sketch he (incorrectly) claimed that he did for Thompson.

To simply dismiss these works as "secondary" research is short sighted.

As to cynicism: I think if you told a cynic that dozens (hundreds?) of people remained silent for decades after committing or being in involved in a terrible act even though they could have made money and fame by exposing it later he'd laugh you off as being a naive fool.
