Paperback edition of Reclaiming Parkland: Expanded and Revised

[Tom Scully]

It actually did happen.

As I wrote in my book, Destiny Betrayed, Second Edition, I show how Gordon Novel cozied up to Willard Robertson, a member of Truth and Consequences. That is how he met Garrison. He offered him his services as an electronics surveillance expert--which he was--in order to make sure no one was tapping his phones or planting bugs in his office. Garrison hired him, and of course, Novel used this position to do just that: wire his phones and bug his offices.

He then turned over these tapes to 1.) Walter Sheridan, who was paying him five hundred bucks a day, and 2.) To Allen Dulles who had initially recruited him.

Garrison eventually figured out what happened. He subpoenaed Gordon before the grand jury. The CIA furnished him with two lawyers, and they covers for him as he sold his tavern and racetrack in the New Orleans area, and fled to Columbus, Ohio. Garrison tried everything to get him back, but could not, due to the governor not honoring his extradition requests, Jim Rhodes. (See Destiny Betrayed, 233-35)

My research persuades me that there are too many contradictions, too much unexplained and that Willard E Robertson ran both the governor and Garrison. and that is the most neglected dynamic in all of the attempts at a thorough explanation for what happened.
Garrison was not stupid but he would have to be if Novel was able to waltz in and compromise a serious investigation, especially if there is much truth to Mellen's description near the end of this post....

Considering the info in the page linked above, and the history, can anyone explain the basis for Garrison charging Gordon Novel with theft?


May 4, 1962 :



I am extremely reluctant to believe Gordon Novel about anything uncorroborated by uninvolved, reliable third parties.

Does this actually make any sense to its author, Joan Mellen? I submit it was not intended by Robertson and Garrison to make sense, but intended to seem ridiculous!

• Joan Mellen wrote that Novel is directed by Sheridan, but it is Garrison's most powerful and influential political sponsor
  who is behind Gordon Novel's "infiltration" of Garrison's office. I think the research I have presented supports a reasonable
  argument that so far supports the suspicion that Garrison presented a contrivance represented to be an investigation.
