Judyth Vary Baker: Living in Exile

[James H. Fetzer]

These are all mine, Jack. Doesn't it even say so at the top: JIM
DIRECTS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS TO JACK? Does it not?
You are really disappointing me, Jack. I have asked you some
very important questions about methodology you are avoiding.
I am not used to you displaying evasion and misrepresentation.

I am not even impressed with your response about connections
with the mafia. Was Dutz living with his wife when Lee arrived in
New Orleans? Wouldn't he have been aware of Lee's presence?
And speaking of reading comprehension, didn't I point out that,
if Judyth is right in what she says, Lee knew Marcello personally?

And, of course, he also knew Jack Ruby, who, as I understand it,
had a few connections to the mob himself. So I really don't think
you have a leg to stand on. And for you to imply that you can't
tell who authored a post when it states explicitly that these are
questions from me to you is almost beyond belief. What gives?

This originated with Judyth's explanation that they had access to
free phone calls because of a Mafia betting line. You disputed it
on the grounds that Lee had no connections to the Mafia. I think
the argument has gone downhill from there. Just say that you
misunderstood the matter and that I am right and we'll move on.

Stop evading the questions I have posed to you about Armstrong
and his methodology. I have asked several, including how John
decided which documents and records were authentic and which
not and whether Robert have been "the second Oswald". Please
answer them. My confidence in "two Oswalds" is rapidly waning.

It is not clear whether the above message was written by JVB or Jim,
since the identity of the writer changes every few sentences.

Whoever wrote it lacks reading comprehension skills. In a reply to
David Healy, I wrote that neither Edwin Eckdahl nor John Pic had
ties to the mafia. I wrote that David must have been referring to
LHO's uncle Dutz Murret, who had alleged ties to the mafia. I said
NOTHING about any LHO ties to the mafia.

This assertition has been morphed into me stating that LHO had
no ties to the mafia.

However, I will state that the known record does not contain
any known connection of Murret to LEE since Lee was a small
child, nor to HARVEY since the year he spent at Beauregard
Junior High School. Even for the brief childhood years and the
Junior High year, there is no documentation of a close family
connection to Murret. A child under 6 and a teen aged 14/15
are not likely to be involved in the mafia. Even IF a relative
was connected, that does not make a child a mafioso.
