Team Headed by Former CIA Officer Concludes JFK Was Killed by a Conspiracy

[Tom Graves]

You automatically went running to Baer's critics and Redmond's defenders.

Should I have consulted "former" KGB officer Vladimir Putin as you probably did, Comrade Griffith?

Here's another article on Baer's specious book for you to read.

"Baer’s book may be more likely to shake loose a dangle or double agent controlled by Moscow and peddling disinformation."

Dear Lefty-Righty Banksy,

Although Clay Shaw never worked for the Agency, as a patriotic American international businessman, he was a highly valued CIA contact source from 1948 to 1956.

I know that. Hence why I called him a “CIA asset”.

Assets and informants don’t work “for” intelligence agencies. Rather, they are witting collaborators.

Dear Lefty-Righty Banksy,

As a volunteer to the CIA's Domestic Contacts Division from 1948 to 1956 (i.e., three years before the JFKA), Clay Shaw reported to the CIA what he'd noticed in the countries he'd visited and/or was doing business in.

By the way, did you know that overly ambitious, scandal-plagued and revengeful Jim Garrison arrested Shaw (who had embarrassed Big Jim once in a restaurant by telling him to stop verbally abusing his wife) on 1 March 1967 on suspicion of having masterminded a homosexual "thrill-kill" assassination of JFK, but started pursuing his "He supervised it for the evil, evil CIA!!!" angle a few weeks after a Communist-owned Italian newspaper (Paese Sera) had published, on 4 March 1967, an anti-CIA / anti-Shaw article which was immediately "picked up" by Pravda (imagine that!), and shortly thereafter published in Menlo Park-based "Ramparts, "Paris-based "L'Humanité," and NYC-based "National Guardian," etc., etc., and Joan Mellen's ex-husband, Ralph Schoenman (Bertrand Russell's secretary in London) probably had sent Garrison a copy of the translated-from-French-or-Italian version (which Garrison proceeded to share with the New Orleans States-Item)?

Factoid: The Mitrokhin Archive refers to a 1967 "active measures" op which involved the KGB's publishing an article in a NYC newspaper in 1967.

Hmm.
