Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal - Jack White - 20-04-2009 The point that most researchers pay little heed to is the function of PERMINDEX. The name stands for Permanent Industrial Expositions...better known as WORLD TRADE CENTERS. Does that name sound familiar? Hmmmmmmmmmm? In Dallas JFK was to speak at the Trade Mart, a forerunner of the Dallas WORLD TRADE CENTER. Now who arranged for the venue? Permindex? Clay Shaw ran the New Orleans WORLD TRADE CENTER. Clay Shaw was involved in the JFK affair. Clay Shaw was a director of Permindex. New York City had a whole complex of buildings named the WORLD TRADE CENTER. All of these buildings were destroyed in a single day in history's greatest COINCIDENCE. Some entity is behind the prevalent COINCIDENCE THEORY OF HISTORY. Permindex? World Trade Centers feature permanent industrial expositions of international companies. Globalist exhibitions of global products and services. Get it? PERMINDEX. Check into it. WORLD TRADE CENTERS are central to many events of the last 50 years. Jack Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal - Ron Williams - 20-04-2009 Myra Bronstein Wrote:...

And since Jim Garrison focused so heavily on Permindex it's of interest. But is it muddying the Permindex waters or clearing them up? I would agree that this is at least an important part of the central premise, but I don’t believe that Torbitt clears up anything. One problem we have is that info on Louis Mortimer Bloomfield is hard to come by. Close associate of J. Edgar Hoover? OSS? Sex deviate? “…the direct supervisor of all contractual agents in the FBI’s Division 5?” Says who? Where are the sources? What was Bloomfield really doing during World War II? Was he working for Sir William “Intrepid” Stephenson out of the British Security Coordination office in Rockefeller Center in New York? I was hoping that some of the UK or Canadian researchers would have cleared this up by now. One UK author, Matthew Smith in Say Goodbye to America: The Sensational and Untold Story behind the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, writes: “…The founder and chairman of Permindex was Canadian-born Major Louis Bloomfield, who had a strong background in intelligence. First with British intelligence, he moved, during the Second World War, to the OSS and became friends with J. Edgar Hoover. His intelligence work continued while he was with Permindex.” (p. 173) There are no sources listed for this. Does anyone know Matthew Smith? If so, could they ask him about it?

And a person who asked not to be identified emailed the following to me: In 1964 Wise and Ross released their classic book The Invisible Government. It's hard to imagine today just how shocking their revelations were at the time. See Chapter 5 for a description of the Double-Chek Corporation and you can tie it in to what Torbitt wrote. See Chapter 15 for a description of the formation of the DIA and the instant, intense rivalry with the CIA. To me, there is little question that the two agencies were heavily cross-infiltrated. An excerpt (highlights mine): ....Dulles was particularly worried about the possibility that the DIA would gain a monopoly over aerial reconnaissance. The Defense Department controlled the reconnaissance equipment and Dulles feared that the DIA would be tempted to hoard the photographs produced by the equipment. He was determined to prevent any such thing. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_secretgov_5.htm#Table%20of%20Contents
During the U-2 era, the CIA had built up a skilled corps of civilian photo-interpreters and they would surely quit if the Pentagon monopolized aerial photographs. Without interpreters, the CIA would have no way to verify Defense Department estimates. At a time when electronic espionage was bulking ever larger, Pentagon control of aerial reconnaissance could result in Pentagon dominance of the entire intelligence community. Dulles expressed his misgivings to McNamara, who responded with assurances that the DIA would be only a coordinating body and that it would not supplant the intelligence branches of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Some of Dulles' advisers suspected that the Pentagon had covert ambitions for the DIA which were being suppressed temporarily for tactical reasons. But Dulles felt McNamara's pledge left no ground for him to oppose the DIA. He went along with the proposal. So did John McCone, then head of the AEC. The DIA was created officially on October 1, 1961. Named as director was Lieutenant General Joseph F. Carroll, who had been the inspector general of the Air Force. Carroll started his career with the FBI and was a leading assistant of J. Edgar Hoover at the time he moved to the Air Force in 1947 to set up its first investigation and counter-intelligence section. CIA men delighted in pointing out that all of Carroll's experience had been as an investigator and that he had no credentials as a foreign or military intelligence analyst. More to the CIA's liking were Carroll's two subordinates, both of whom had served with the CIA: Major General William W. (Buffalo Bill) Quinn, a former West Point football star, who was named deputy director; and Rear Admiral Samuel B. Frankel, a Chinese and Russian-speaking expert on the Communist world, who became the DIA's chief of staff. (Myra, you can bet that career Navy man Frankel surely knew all about Oswald) Both of these men had worked closely with Allen Dulles. Frankel served under him on USIB. Quinn, the G-2 for the Seventh Army in Europe during World War II, acted as personal courier for the information Dulles gathered in Switzerland on Nazi troop movements. (Quinn left the DIA to become the commander of the Seventh Army in November, 1963.....) Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal - Ron Williams - 20-04-2009 Jim DiEugenio had written a multi-part review of The Torbitt Document in 2001 for the JFK Research Forum, but I found out that he doesn’t still have the review. I meant to save it at the time, but for some reason I only have Parts 1 & 3 (and I don’t know how many parts there were). I sent Jim the parts I had (below), and here is his response: [COLOR="Blue"]“I stand by all of that. “Torbitt is an obvious disinformation packet. And its timing-after Garrison--is very suspect. “In fact, one could say that it led the way to All Those Other Suspects, especially the Mafia.”[/COLOR] +++++++++++++++++++++++++ [the remaining two parts of the review] Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal aka Torbitt Document by James DiEugenio ® , 2001… Part 1 I will now post highlights of my analysis of the essay that was known by two names, Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal and the Torbitt Document. Some background first. In the notes accompanying my copy which was issued by the short-lived Mae Brussell Research Center, two federal agents gave this information to a conservative Texas lawyer named David Copeland, who disguised his name as William Torbitt for publication purposes. The date was around 1970, right at the end of the Garrison investigation, a significant point as we will see. The official name is the long one given above, but the most popular one is the shorter rubric. The idea that this is in any way a document is sheer nonsense. It is a freeform essay that, as we will see, is not supported by its footnotes. The word nomenclature means to name or the process of naming names. That is what this essay does in spades: names abound all over the place. It is interesting to look at this essay now, in light of the many advances in information, especially by the ARRB. But in my opinion, it could not have withstood rigorous anlysis at the time it was released, if someone would have done it. The essay has been sold and passed around for years, decades, and in fact it was sold by Prevailing Winds, and it was popular with people like Jeff Steinberg of the La Rouchies, who I know and respect. In one way I can see how some intelligent people could have been taken in by this clever mosaic but in another way, I can't see why no one would take the time to take it apart. In my view, disinformation, no matter how sophisticated, has to be attacked because it leads many people down blind alleys. A good example would be the Blakey-Billings Mafia myth created after the HSCA. We now know that these two men decieved the public with that whopper and many of the things they said are inaccurate, like Marcello saying in executive session that he paid David Ferrie directly to get his gas station, or Marcello admitting culpability in the JFK case on the BRILAB tapes. People actually gave credence to this thing and people like John Davis who furthered this myth were invited to seminars and sucked up valuable time (though not with me) furthering this non sequitir. They even got away with smearing Garrison as some kind of pawn of Marcello until I analyzed that myth and showed it to be another deception at the first COPA conference. So now with the so-called Torbitt Document. The two federal agents who gave this information to Copeland worked for the Customs department and the BND. He took the info and enlarged upon it and added the footnotes. We do not know where their work ended and his began or if any sources were given to him. Copeland was a supporter of the conservative wing of the Texas Democratic party, i.e. people like Connally and Bentsen. In the afterward he writes that "the Fascist cabal who assassinated John Kennedy planned to lay the blame on honest right-wing conservatives, if their first ploy, to lay the blame on Oswald and the communists was not bought." Later in the same place, the following appears, "As is the office of a lawyer, he [Torbitt] makes legal deductions from the evidence gathered but consistently refuses to speculate on the evidence even when some speculation is warranted.... he resorts only to those legal deductions which courts allow a lawyer to make from the court approved and documented evidence." This statement is not supportable by the author's own work, and I will show this throughout. But it does give the essay an air of authority that, combined with certain other namedropping elements and partly good information has managed to impress some. The essay is surprising in that Torbitt was one of the first authors to actually name the assassins. By about two thirds of the way through, there are four snipers named: Emilio Santana, William Seymour, Manuel Gonzalez, and Jim Braden. How specific is the description? Consider this: "Manuel Gonzalez, firing from the fence to Kennedy's right side struck the President in the right temple killing him instantly." This is sourced to the records of jim Garrison as is most of the sensational stuff. I am in posession of Garrison's extant records and have read them all. I never saw this. It is true that much of Garrison's stuff is lost, but I talked to a lot of people who worked with him and no one ever mentioned this. Torbitt describes Braden as an agent of the Defense Industrial Security Command (DISC). Perhaps this is so, but he advances no evidence for this and I have never seen it elsewhere. Torbitt insists that it was Seymour at Sylvia Odio's impersonating Oswald, and mentions it as an established fact, when as early as 1964 it was in dispute ( for a good analysis see Sylvia Meagher). Seymour is also noted as impersonating Oswald in Mexico. Again this is sourced to Garrison and again I have not seen it. Santana is named as the sniper in the Dal-Tex building, and again this is attributed to Garrison and again I have not seen it. Santana is quite an interesting character and in fact may have been involved in Dallas but much of what Torbitt says about him is not supportable. (For the stuff that is supportable, see my article in Probe on Rose Cheramie.) But Torbitt is not done. He adds that, in addition to the above four, there were seven Mexican professionals in firing position in Dallas. They were agents of Albert Osborne. Again, Osborne is another interesting character (to say the least) but the idea that he ran an assassination ring is not demonstrated. So this set of claims, or 'legal deductions" is a bit overblown. But not only does the author assume to know who the snipers were; he also assumes to know how they got away. Of course, Braden was arrested, actually I think only detained, before he was released. Seymour jumped into the Nash Rambler and was dropped off at the Abundant Life Temple. He then killed Tippitt. Santana and some other snipers stayed at Tammie True's before the assassination. In my file on Santana, this information is not borne out. In further contradiction of Torbitt, Santana, according to my files, did not say that he knew Seymour. Gonzalez went to Fort Worth and stayed at Tammie True's and then was flown to Houston. Again, Garrison did a lot of work on Gonzalez, and again I did not see this. So again, another set of sensational claims is overhyped. Part 3 Let us now go one step upward in Torbitt's explanation of the conspiracy. Although Copeland's essay contains a melange of agencies--almost a parody of a grand conspiracy--the Mafia plays a key operational role in it. Two of the major mobsters involved are Carlos Marcello and Joe Bonanno. Like Robert Blakey, Copeland/Torbitt has David Ferrie working for Marcello both before and after the assassination; instead of working for lawyer Wray Gill who contracted him out for the Marcello case. But further, Torbitt has Marcello giving Ferrie instructions on his role in the plot at 1:00 pm on 11/22/63 in court in New Orleans. Since Ferrie was dead when Torbitt was writing and Marcello never talked, how did Copeland get this information? He sources it to Paris Flammonde's book but it is another false footnote. Torbitt states that the Alamotel Hotel in Houston where Ferrie was headed was owned by Marcello, yet the HSCA report on Ferrie does not support this claim. (Further, Torbitt calls Marcello's New Orleans hotel the Town House Hotel when in reality it was the Town and Country.) Ruby is supposedly working for Marcello also and again this claim is asserted but not at all demonstrated. Torbitt has Marcello on the ruling national board of the Mafia but this claim has been disputed elsewhere. But Torbitt then does something even more breathtaking. All the actions taken by Bonanno and Marcello were taken not through their relationship with the Mob, or the Mob's relationship with the CIA, but through their connections to DISC! And then he tops that one. Right after this, he asserts that both of these American Mafia Dons were members of PERMINDEX and Centro Mondiale Commerciale! This goes unsourced and like the connection to DISC I have never seen it mentioned anywere else. (As we shall see, it is significant that historically speaking, Torbitt/Copeland is probably the first to assert this Mafia importance in the assassination and to assert the primacy of Ferrie's pseudo-relationship with Marcello.) Even on comparatively easy and lesser details, Torbitt is dubious. He claims that Gordon Novel's wife told Garrison that her husband impersonated Oswald in the days preceding the assassination. I saw that interview and this information is not in there. Torbitt says that Ferenc Nagy of PERMINDEX is the umbrella man in Dealey Plaza. Anyone who looks at the photo of Nagy in my book will see that this claim is ridiculous. Torbitt states that after his program on Garrison in 1967, Walter Sheridan was not seen on NBC News "which proves Walter Sheridan was on special assignment from his DIA position." Yet a quick check of NBC records will show that Sheridan did at least four other programs for NBC after the Garrison one. And the DIA is the one intelligence agency Sheridan was not connected to. Torbitt has over 14 witnesses testifying to the Clinton-Jackson incident at the Shaw trial. That figure is exaggerated by about a third. According to Torbitt, the name of William Seymour surfaced through Dean Andrews. He even has Andrews naming Seymour as an assassin. I have seen every extant record on Andrews from the Warren Commission and the Garrison probe and these claims are nowhere to be found. Torbitt has Gordon Novel seen with Ruby in the Carousel Club. Again, I have a thick file on Novel and this evidence is non-existent. Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal - Jan Klimkowski - 20-04-2009 When Garrison was investigating Permindex, no information about Operation Gladio had been disclosed. For an introduction to Gladio, see here: http://www.deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1141&highlight=gladio Gladio has strong links to the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM). For background to SMOM, see my posts #49-50 of Covert Action material here: http://www.deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1304&page=5 Roy Marcus Cohn was a board member of Permindex. His law partner, Tom Bolan, was a Knight of Malta. Clay Shaw was both a board member of Permindex and a Knight of Malta. The creators of Gladio, including Nazi and West German spy Reinhard Gehlen, and the Dulles brothers, were Knights of Malta. As was dear old Prescott Bush. And Bill Donovan. And William Casey. And George HW Bush. And John McCone. And Charles Willoughby, (born Karl Widenbach). And William Colby. Every single Permindex board member fits the profile of a potential Gladio controller: * Louis Bloomfield, Lawyer, President * Ferenc Nagy, former anti-Communist Prime Minister Hungarian * Georgio Mantello aka George Mantello aka George Mandel, alleged "rescuer" of Jewish refugees and official founder of PERMINDEX * Roy Marcus Cohn, US lawyer for Senator Joseph McCarthy, Lionel Corporation * Joseph Bonanno, Mafia figure, Lionel Corporation * Jean Menu de Ménil, owner of Schlumberger Limited * Paul Raigorodsky * Count Guitierez di Spadafora, Undersecretary of Agriculture for Benito Mussolini * Hans Seligman, Basel, Switzerland banker * Carlo d'Amelio, Italian Lawyer, Head Consul for Centro Mondiale Commerciale (CMC) * Max Hageman, newspaper editor National Zeitung Munich * Munir Chourbagi, uncle to King Farouk of Egypt * Giuseppe Zigotti, Italian Fascist * Ferenc H. Simonfay, Major-General in Hungary and Nazi collaborator * Clay Shaw, New Orleans International Trade Mart Fwiw.
