In The Shadow of Dallas and LA

[Seamus Coogan]

Hi Charles,

I agree this is a nice internet exchange that is rare these days.

First I want to say that I think the plot and cover-up are two separate things. I agree the people you speak of are the ones who handled the cover-up. The cover up was an institutional project and more complex than the original conspiracy.

The people involved in the plot wanted an invasion of Cuba but this was not to be. I do not think these supranational forces would be involved in the plot in any way whatsoever. I do think they would be involved in the cover up.

As for Morales, I have compiled a somewhat robust "biography" of the man and I have found through separate sources that he was a force not to be messed with.

John Roselli was a close associate of Morales. Organized Crime, which I think you'd agree, is nothing more than a red herring here. Roselli was Jack Ruby's originator.

I just don't see the plot being all that big, otherwise I think it would have come apart by now.

Phil,

I do agree that Ed Lansdale was one of the Prime Movers.

Respectfully yours,

Zach

Dear Zach. Morales was a mean dude. Where he fits into it all is interesting but people forget about the hierarchy of the time. Bill Harvey sent him to work for Shackley from out of the JM-Wave station and it was Shackley whom would be largely responsible for running Morales prior to his departure to Sth East Asia in about 66. Morales also came directly under guys like Dave Phillips whom was effectively running the MJ-12 Op. By 68, the JM Wave Station was done and dusted. Im sure you know this stuff but when people go on about Morales they often put him in a coordination position well above his station. He did have the potential to have been involved in any assassination chaffs be it JFK or RFK however.
