The 'Strange' Death of Hale Boggs

[Peter Lemkin]

I will be the first to say that I do NOT know a smidgen of information or research as many of you here do. in-fact, nearly all of you, if not everyone at this forum knows a hell of a lot more then I do in any historical event, and especially those that involved Kennedy's assassination, just to mention a few Jim D., Jim H., real truth tellers who are seeking the answers. And, I applaud them, truthfully, if they would take some of the information I gave here, and look into it, perhaps, what they may find is not what I want corroborated.

How in the hell can anyone live with finding out who your parents really are after forty plus years and know that your father was a killer? Now if that's not enough to screw with your head nothing can.

Now, I hope no one here miss reads me, and I will plainly say could my father kill someone? Well, looking back at my life as a child I felt protected, but now that I think about it and how my father acted around Sturgis and many other Cubans that came over our house, I'd say yes, there's no doubt my father could kill, and he would've without hesitation.

I also want to make this specifically clear, in no way do I fully believe my father had anything to do with the disappearance of Boggs and others. But, I can't ignore the fact that a guy like my father was in Alaska during the month of October 1972, and he had no earthy business in Alaska unless it was just to visit an old Army Sargent friend of his from back in the 60's, and that's even more harder to believe. During the 70's, several folks have recently told me my father was paranoid, unstable and suspicious of things going on. Rudy was one of the guy's who told me this when Rudy also tried to warn my father about the things he was getting himself into. Just before going to Alaska my father went to Haiti after Watergate broke. I do believe with all my heart my father had the only known photos taken of the individuals in Dallas, and for over forty plus years those who were closest to my father knew him well, (they opened up to me out of respect for my father) they've already confirmed to me that the photos were in-fact those involved in Kennedy's assassination. (I do believe that.)

Knowing who my father was and the shared company he kept while playing in the same sandbox, I have to ask myself, could a guy like my father play apart in the disappearance of Boggs? Although, I don't want to believe it, the question still remains.

Scott, when did your father go to Alaska and when did he return from Alaska? Sometimes operational people are moved into place but not used in an operation - they are just there in case needed or to be used as patsies if things go wrong. He could have been there for reasons other than the Boggs' Operation - or he could have been there for it. Did he have FBI controllers? It was my impression his connections were more to the CIA as an 'off the shelf' deniable operative. It seems to me that the Operation to kill Boggs was run by the FBI. Perhaps the CIA [who also had reason to get rid of him] also played a role that has not yet been seen. While the two agencies on occasion worked together, they usually did not. For Hoover, Boggs was both a National Security Threat [about to re-open the JFK Assassination investigation] and a personal threat [Boggs stating that Hoover was running a 'Gestapo' organization.]. For the CIA it was just the former and no evidence has yet surfaced of their participation - but that doesn't mean they were not involved.
