Prouty on Lansdale

[Jim DiEugenio]

Hmm. Three CIA officers were allowing themselves to be recorded by movie cameras and still cameras for hours while the conspiracy was actually ongoing? Why would you do it? Just to risk being caught? How did Dick Helms forget to be there then? Sounds sensible to me. And Fetzer still tries to revive this stuff, even though Shane himself renounced it in his book.

Just to play devil's advocate, to put this in perspective realize we have a complete CIA false defector, FBI agent provocateur, Harvey & Lee double, and possibly Jensen MKULTRA zombie Lee Harvey Oswald waltzing around in broad daylight while being blatantly covered-up and denied by the government. In this case it might not be too great an offense to suggest CIA placed faces on the scene under the thin guise of Bulova Watch executives. They were getting away with murder at the time under the political atmosphere of Warren Commission rule and VietNam War marshall law. These guys were rogue and after the Kennedy caper were probably not afraid to flash their balls in public (forgive my French). Frankly, I wouldn't put it past them and Salandria suggests they did it deliberately to give people the hint of what the order was in this country and who was behind it. If Harvey & Lee is real then this creates a much higher possibility of our boys from Bulova being real too. There was no chance of the conspiracy being investigated under Johnson and no chance of RFK's assassination being investigated under Nixon as well.

I don't quite understand what this means.

You begin with the whole Oswald doppelganger thing via Armstrong. Which has no parallel at all in the RFK case. I did some work on that case, and I have never seen this device used to any degree at all there. SO I don' t know where it leads.

You then shift to the alleged ID's of the three CIA officers. These have been discredited quite effectively, just look at the photo in Shane's book of Johannides. It is simply not them.

Are you trying to say that somehow there were three guys who were there that night undercover for Bulova who somewhat looked like them and were in on a rogue operation?

Do you know the standard of proof this concept now bears? These men were identified. We know who they are and knew who they were way back in 1969. You would now have to prove:

1. They did something conspiratorial that night or day.
2. They had some kind of background in covert operations.
3. How they managed to keep this from their friends and families forever.

I mean this kind of reminds me of say "Get Smart" or "True Lies".

But this is the kind of silliness you get into when you entertain an outlandish notion.
