Gary Mack Dead

[Peter Lemkin]

BTW, I have to add, when I wrote about Gary I always tried to explain his switch rationally.

I thought it was due to a mid life crisis: his loss of his job, his divorce, and his relationship with Dave Perry.

Perry does not get noticed enough.

John Armstrong and Jack White told me that he was Gary's guru in his turnaround. And he used to accompany Gary to the Jim Marrs' classes where those two would heckle the witnesses that Jim would bring in to speak. According to Jack, Perry also helped Gary get his job at the Sixth Floor. Perry was good friends with the original switcher, Gus Russo, from way back. When he switched job locations to Dallas/Fort Worth, one of the first things Perry did was help Posner on his book. He then volunteered to man the counter at Larry Howard's Conspiracy Museum, where he became good buds with Farris Rookstool, who was the FBI's expert on the JFK case stationed in Dallas. The other person who Perry became good pals with was FBI asset Hugh Aynesworth.

At a vulnerable point in his life, Gary fell in with Perry. In human terms, I think this is what happened to Gary.

The association with Perry - and thus to Russo - and thus to the intelligence community is KEY!

I am sorry to hear of GM/LD's death, even if I was on the diametrically opposite side of his 'views' and propaganda after his miraculous switch. There was a time I debated with Mack via email in private, but there also came a time about many years back when I blocked his incoming emails.

I won't go into great detail now/here, but know that Russo had his intelligence connections. I have reason to believe Perry did as well. Russo penetrated my JFK investigative research in a manner that ONLY could have occured if he'd been given intelligence information on the physical movement and plans of myself, Marrs and Plumlee who were then visiting the purported Col. O'Wighton Delk Simpson in Florida. Russo was at the airport when Marrs and Plumlee arrived and said to them 'Peter said I could join you'. They couldn't conceptualize that that was not so, as how the hell would Russo have known where and when they were going to meet Simpson if I hadn't said so. In fact, at that time, I had NEVER been in contact with Russo and had ONLY met him at the previous Dallas convention for a brief time. Marrs knew of him in about the same manner/degree as I, and Plumlee had no idea who he was. I had paid for Marrs and Plumlee to secretly (telling no one when nor why) to Florida from two different destinations to meet up at the airport and then meet with 'O'Wighton Delk Simpson'. When they arrived and were meeting at the pre-arranged spot Russo appeared with his false story that I had OK'd his being there and to join them at the Colonel's condo. When I found out [I was in CA at the time monitoring their movements and meeting with Brad Ayers about Simpson], I exploded, and realized at once that Russo was working as a high-level JFK disinformation agent, and with intelligence 'support'. Draw your own conclusions on the associations from there. Jim Marrs can confirm this episode, and he knows a hell of a lot more than I on Perry and Mack. The heckling in his course was beyond the pale and eventually caused the courses to be cancelled due to the heckling and disruptions [this was obviously Mack/Perrry intent]. I can not forgive someone who knowingly dished out disinformation, disrupted real investigations, associated with CIA propaganda tools, no matter how nice and occasionally 'helpful' he might have been sometimes. I'm sorry he has died on a personal level. There is also an unresolved matter of the man who stabbed and tried to kill Jack White parking his car very very close to Mack's office the night of that attack. Very unlikely coincidence IMHO, to add to all the 'coincidences' Mack supported officially. Jack White and Jim Marrs, both close associates of myself, knew GM/LD very well, and both believed he had sold out completely to the disinformation side of the 11/22/63 story. N.B., I have seen photos of Russo inside Langley...and the Company does NOT give entry to any but 'the chosen few'.

Again, sorry on a human level to hear Mack/Dunkel died, and my regards to his family and friends [and naive supporters]. I believe, but can NOT be sure, Mack was 'on the level' in his earlier days [Badgeman days I call them, when I also knew him]; but am sure he was not 'on the level' when connected to Perry/Russo and the 6th Floor 'Museum' (of disinformation). After his Badgeman days, Larry Dunkel chose the Dark Side, and knew it - he was not duped into it - he willingly chose it, and he chose his associates, as well as where his money came from - and what form of government and what form of truth it supported [i.e. an ongoing coup d'etat, and un-Truth / Propaganda / Cover-Up]. The ambiguous stand he took privately to me and many others [saying he 'believed a conspiracy llikely', but that Oswald was likely the lone shooter from the SE window of the sixth floor is intellectually dishonest, IMO]. I told Mack so, and cut off contact with him when he persisted in this totally nonsensical and what I believe to be disingenuous, intellectually dishonest stance with me in private email exchanges. Publicly, he supported the WCR/official fiction at every turn, and challenged those who would challenge the official version. As for the 'why' of his change I've heard many versions and think only GM/LD knew the true answer. Larry/Gary's possible only good good addition to the JFK mysteries was his early work on Badgeman, which I think may have some validity...an operative - very likely; one of the many shooters - unknown. Some think it an artifact of the shadows and light...but I don't. Subsequent work by Wilson showed [me to my satisfaction] that someone with a police badge was there, and very possibly with a gun being fired. Officially, of course, no one was at that location, and no one in police uniform behind the fence. Gary was in charge of which books were sold at the SFM, and allowed only token CT books and not the better ones. He also had a say in what displays were there and which were not....that 'museum' is only portraying the totally and knowingly FALSE cover-story, and Gary/Larry had to know this;what he believed in his heart of hearts hardly matters, as he was instrumental and in the front lines of the Propaganda Myth of the Official Big Lie about 11/22/63 and feeding out mostly disinformation or trying to persuade people away from true lines of inquiry/doubt/research. He even stooped to harassing Groden; seeing that he was arrested and moved 'on' many times. More, much more could be said....but I'll save it for another time, another thread. I think one on Russo and other KNOWN disinformation agents [as opposed to just plain fools] might be useful...I can think of quite a few names that should be named....and I'll give what evidence I have on each of them.

Let each draw his/her own conclusions as to why Larry Dunkel (dba Gary Mack) did an '179 degree' turn. I'll grant him one thing - if a researcher wanted some information that was not 'a BIG threat' in his mind's eye, he'd gladly help one find it or get it. On that he did help both CTs and LNs with many documents and witness testimony etc. He also rarely lost his temper even when others railed at him. He was no fool and I'm sorry he chose the Dark Side... I can't see a logical reason why...but then, I know little about his personal life or side. Jack White did and told me he was quite surprised by the '179 degree' turn. Jack worked closely with him on Badgeman and Jack felt Badgeman still had merit when he died. Oddly, GM/LD last I heard from him before I broke all contact, he still said he believed in Badgeman as being part of the plot....but never explained how he now felt he fit in....[as 'LHO''s spotter?]. My own guess [and it is only my educated guess], GM/LD still believed inside it was a high level conspiracy in which LHO [Harvey] was only a patsy....but on the outside/publicly after joining forces with the Dark Side, pimped the official version as one would sell toothpaste, cola or snake oil (which is what I believe he knew he was really 'selling'). Sad.
