Warren Commission Executive Session of 22 Jan 1964

[Peter Lemkin]

Well said, Mr. Lemkin.

Until you shared your post, I had no idea that of the seven (7) total commission members that three (3) of them actually had misgivings/opposed the findings (the aforementioned Boggs, and also Senator Sherman Cooper and Senator Richard Russell as well). Dipping my hat in remembrance of all three (thanks gentlemen for caring about honor, integrity, justice and truth).

More sentiments from the late Congressman Hal Boggs (RIP) ---->

"Over the postwar years, we have granted to the elite and secret police within our system vast new powers over the lives and liberties of the people. At the request of the trusted and respected heads of those forces, and their appeal to the necessities of national security, we have exempted those grants of power from due accounting and strict surveillance."
--House Majority Leader Hale Boggs, in a speech before Congress, 22 April 1971

"[FBI Director J. Edgar] Hoover lied his eyes out to the [Warren] Commission on Oswald, on Ruby, on their friends, the bullets, the gun, you name it."
--Hale Boggs

In respect to Mr. Boggs' congressional speech remarks above, we cannot say presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy didn't try to warn us of this emerging national security powerplay under afoot as early as President Eisenhower's 2nd Administration. .


So, the hotplace with the democratic Republic I see, and we are left with lying treasonous cowards and their ilk (grrr).

As I have related a few times over the decades on various Forums, I contacted Boogs' daughter [Cokie Roberts of NPR] and politely asked her some questions about her late father's feelings on the Commission and his mysterious death, after introducing myself as a serious researcher, my bona fides....blah, blah, blah.... I started with what I considered the least controversial and asked her what she knew of attempts to locate the plane her father was lost in in Alaska. She declined to say anything on that. Then I went into his objections to the Commission's conclusions and the 'work' of the FBI and CIA vis-a-vis the Commission. She was silent during my questions, and then said she had no comment on any of it, and then quickly hung up. Afraid for her job or afraid of her father's killers? (I don't claim to know)...but if I had to guess, I'd say a mix of both. Even in her silence and few words I sensed a great unease and fear in the subjects I was calling about.
