Three new / updated John Newman JFK books appearing on Amazon over the next few weeks

BTW, one of the most amazing things about the JFK case is the fact that the cover up did not end when the original media players passed on, like the Sarnoffs, Paleys, Goldensons, and their paid lackeys like Cronkite, McGee, Jennings etc.

Some of the first generation critics, like Ray Marcus, thought this might happen. But it has not. It did not even happen when Bradlee died.

So this thing about disguising who Halberstam really was, and what his agenda was, still lives on even though he is dead and the ARRB has declassified documents showing he was simply wrong.

If anything shows you how ingrained this national cover up is, that does.

Angleton was obsessed with the question of institutional memory & almost certainly prepared accordingly.

Even mandatory retirement couldn't stop spymaster James Angleton's influence

Memos reveal the Agency was still seeking Angleton's counsel nearly a decade after scandal supposedly ended his career

Considered to be both one of the greatest - and most paranoid - spymasters in living memory, CIA Counterintelligence Chief James Jesus Angleton was undeniably one of the best in the field. By the '70s, however, he was also considered too toxic for government service after revelations, scandals, and Agency politics forced him and other senior staff out. While it's been known that he remained somewhat active as an advisor and in think tanks, it seems that little is known beyond his involvement with the American Security Council think tank and a few similar organizations. A formerly SECRET memo from CIA, however, establishes that they, and others, consulted with him on an official basis....

The memo wasted no time in describing the September 27 meeting. The meeting had been arranged as part of the CIA Director's Advisory Commission on Multidisciplinary Counterintelligence Analysis and took place at the home of a CIA employee, where they discussed the past and future of counterintelligence for four hours. When the two met, Angleton's health did not look well. He reportedly had given up drinking alcohol, but continued to chain smoke. Three and a half years later, he would die of lung cancer...

The most significant revelation of the memo follows immediately: not only was Angleton being "officially" consulted on counterintelligence, he was also consulting with Senator Goldwater, albeit "indirectly", with Angelo Codevilla of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and with the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB), whose job it was provide "advice to the President concerning the quality and adequacy of intelligence collection, of analysis and estimates, of counterintelligence, and of other intelligence activities."
