Finally - a positive spin on Penn Jones and COPA in the November 22, 2011 Dallas Morning News article "Crowd Marks JFK's Assassination With Moment of Silence At Dallas' Dealey Plaza."
There is a deliberately inaccurate quote, however, made by Sixth Floor Museum Curator Gary Mack in this article.
In reference to Penn Jone's as originator of the Moment of Silence, Mack plays down Jones's contribution to the annual event: "We can't document it well enough that the Museum is comfortable with it. We've seen it referred to in several places, but the sources seem to be people who did not know him," he is quoted as saying.
That statement is misleading and demonstrates Mack's willingness to resort to assassination sophistry and half truths. The sources are clearly traceable to those who knew and worked with Jones, including Mack himself.
Undoubtedly Mack witnessed Jone's initiatives to conduct the Moment of Silence. There are references by Jones in his editorials and story coverage of the anniversary in the TCI, and Mack knows that because during the 1970s Mack he worked with Jones on his newspaper The Continuing Inquiry as an article contributor and investigator. Also at that time the highly regarded photographic expert and author Jack White served Jones as editor of the newsletter during the late 70's.
Mack would also remember that Jones campaigned to prevent the School Book Depository from being sold and demolished. Mack knows full well that Jones consistently reminded the public on the Grassy Knoll that a treasonous conspiracy successfully toppled a presidency, ending democracy in America in his view. Jones maintained that the assassination strengthened the National Security State and the powers of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as well as the intelligence agencies. Jones alleged that with the cooperation of President Lyndon Johnson, President Kennedy's National Security Action Memorandum 263, dated October 11, 1963, pertaining to America's military participation in South Vietnam and more particularly to deescalate the Vietnam War, was reversed on the weekend following the assassination by National Security Action Memorandum 273.
COPA's John Judge tirelessly sponsors the COPA symposiums, continues to attend the Moment of Silence and point out the influence and dangers of the National Security State at the Grassy Knoll in the Jones tradition. Also beginning in the mid-1970s, Judge wrote articles for Jone's newsletter, and investigated topics that Jones felt necessitated serious attention and was tapped by Jones personally to take over the sponsorship of the Moment beginning in 1994. All of this without being paid a penny.
Gary Mack's claim to fame is sourced to a research project involving Dictabelt #10 at the Dallas police station the day of the assassination. It is the machine that recorded events from a motorcycle policeman's open microphone. More than three shots can be heard, and to my knowledge Mack contributed information pertaining to the acoustic analysis which the House Select Committee on Political Assassinations utilized in forming the conclusion that there was the probability of a conspiracy.
Several years late he became a Curator at the Sixth Floor Museum, which officially concedes only the slightest possibility of a conspiracy and consistently emphasizes the U.S. government position that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman. Mack continues his role as a hired stooge for those in power who continue to suppress the truth about our Nation's sad legacy.
Many questions have been asked re: The storm drain egress for one of the shooters……..immediately following the assassination.
Points to investigate should be:
1. LBJ was alleged to have written his WPA (Works Progress Administration) paper on the tunnels under the Grassy Knoll area. [Google]
2. Jack Brazil was followed by a TV Crew climbing through the sewers and emerging from a pipe near the river. [YouTube] now removed!
3. What year the concrete was poured to reduce the diameter from the original size to the present size. [?]
4. The storm drain in question is NOT the round cover at the bottom of the steps on the sidewalk. It is at the RR Bridge, where the fence bends...........Frog..
