Clay Shaw

[Scott Kaiser]

Tom:

I stand by what I said.

I thought the first part of your post was interesting, about Lemman etc Steve and Monte.

I have no idea what you were talking about later on. I don't buy Carpenter's book, and I have explained why here. I talked to Wallace Milam about Carpenter. So I know what he was up to.

Its pretty clear who directed Nicolas isn't it? I mean Monroe and Lemman was the official CIA clandestine payment center for New Orleans, and they paid for the defense of some of Garrison's suspects and they supplied Sheridan with money to bribe others and to pay for the production of what was once a two part special. I mean you have read the Fred Leemans affidavit in my book? (Destiny Betrayed 2013, pgs. 240-41)

Unlike Carpenter, I don't believe for five seconds that Garrison did not have the right people in New Orleans: Banister, Shaw and Ferrie. And since David Phillips was:

1. Likely in Banister's office to promote a city wide telethon with Butler and Novel

2. In charge of the CIA's anti FPCC campaign, and likely gave Banister the flyers Oswald handed out--since they were out of print for two years but the CIA ordered them in 1961

3. Was seen at a training camp in the New Orleans area with Banister and Oswald

Then not only did he have the right people in New Orleans (and I did not even mention Sergio Arcacha Smith who reportedly had diagrams of the sewer system beneath Dealey Plaza in his apartment in Dallas), JG was one step away from the next level of the plot.

I discuss all of these evidentiary points in my book. Which, if you ever read, you forgot about once you read Carpenter's abject apologia. Which I stopped reading once I saw what he did with Shaw in the military vs. the revelations of the Bacque book.

Jim, you're the expert, pardon me.....
Say what you will about Carpenter.... but he missed none of this,

I found every detail in the two images in the two preceding links, independently, and then I found Carpenter's research. He added one
more detail, that David Baldwin (and his brother, Atty Edward Baldwin) was not only Lee Garrison's first cousin, but also her godfather, and that Baldwin had informed Shaw of these details in a letter to Shaw dated one day after Shaw's arrest.




SS Chief Rowley spelled the name wrong… McChann, and has the subject's age wrong (too young) by at least five years…..reported as age 26 in 1964:

I am extremely disappointed in your defensive reaction, Jim. I'm one of your paid readers. I purchased your book. I'm sharing what I find, with you.
You've had a choice. Instead of a discussion, you lecture me and lash out at Carpenter. "Haven't you read my book?" is not an adequate response to what I've presented to you, especially considering;

Unredacted Episode 1: Transcript of Interview with Joan Mellen

Joan Mellen is the author of A Farewell to Justice: Jim Garrison, JFK's Assassination, and the Case That Should Have Changed History. This interview was conducted on 22 Feb 2006.
.......
Rex: Joan..... One, there's a story in the Grand Jury testimony told by three different parties involving Sheridan when he came out to do his NBC White Paper, having a meeting set up with an organized crime figure named Zachary Strate that was apparently set up by either Malcolm O'Hara, a judge who was a political enemy of Garrison's, and a lawyer named Edward Baldwin. I wonder if you might tell that story about what that meeting was all about?...

......

JOAN: - when Baldwin was present, he was a CIA asset, his brother worked for the International Trade Mart and Clay Shaw, David Baldwin, and these, these are CIA people. Malcolm O'Hara is sitting there - he doesn't know what hit him - and eventually Strate did not cooperate, and he went up there, and he attacked Sheridan - of course, Sheridan had immunity - nothing anyone could say about Sheridan whether in court, affidavits signed against Sheridan, Sheridan had immunity as a National Security Agency asset, cleared for FBI work, cleared for CIA work, working for the Department of Justice -......

Stephen B. Lemann's nephew Nicholas "hit" Garrison in 1974 in the Harvard Crimson, and again in late 1991 in GQ Magazine. Perry Russo gave a stronger and more convincing response to any Lemann than Garrison ever did. : http://www.leagle.com/decision/199214098...BLICATIONS

Here is the only direct response from Garrison, that I can identify.:

…of the station (WDSU) itself, but by an attorney closely connected with the station who has previously been known to disperse funds in the New Orleans area in behalf of the Central Intelligence Agency….

In this area, Donald H Carpenter has done more comprehensive research than I have been able to do. On my own, I am impressed that both Garrison and Shaw could take a punch..... The ability of either to throw punches is another matter entirely. I have to leave open the possibility that Garrison and Shaw served the same master(s). It is a reasonable reaction to what I've learned, despite how absurd it may seem to readers heavily invested in a fixed conclusion. Was Oliver Stone "fleeced" by Garrison, or did Garrison present everything to Sklar and Shaw that I have been sharing with you?

Judging by Sklar's response to Nicholas B. Lemann, I think not.:
(It seems Sklar took the gloves off for this response to Lemann's GQ article, or indicates Sklar was not witting to the depth of
Nicholas B Lemann's knowledge, but Garrison certainly was.)

Letters to GQ - For the Defense
Editor's note:. Nicholas Lemann's essay "The
Case Against Jim Garrison" [January] in-
spired more letters than any article we have
published in recent years, almost all of them
critical of Lemann's argument. The most com-
prehensive of these letters is the following, from
journalist and screenwriter Zachary Sklar.................

(See Letters to GQ, http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/S%20Disk/Stone%20Oliver%20JFK%20Movie/Gentleman's%20Quarterly/Item%2002.pdf
An excerpt from the introduction to Lemann's lengthy response.:
…Printing both sides of the story has never been a
fundamental rule of magazine journalism.
Magazines are supposed to be feisty and opin-
ionated. So it's with a sense of futility that I
rebut Sklar's points…

Wow! It's a scary thing when folks even know how many peanuts are packed in Shaw's crap! Scary!
