Lucien Sarti and Jacques Mesrine

[Charles Drago]

Gerry Hemming, soto voce over green ham and eggs in a Dallas hotel restaurant, telling it like it oz: the west end TSBD shooter was a former Wehrmacht sniper, one of the "Rat Line boys," who, when asked some years before by GPH if he were afraid that a JFK researcher would identify him, merrily responded (heavy Otto Preminger accent), "Just be sure he spells my fucking name right!"

Herr Boom-Boom's target, at whom he fired a weapon set on full automatic, Gerry whispers to me, was John Connally. Why? "He didn't bid high enough."

It was then a simple matter of repelling down s TSBD elevator shaft and ... POOF! ... he and his team were, like, gone, man.

Of course, GPH was spinning a ripping yarn. We all know that the world-class snipers Johnny Roselli, Charles Nicoletti, James Files, Chauncey Holt, Jerome Howard, Bucky Katt, and Dennis Mitchell pulled the triggers in Dealey Plaza. Perry White controlled the media cover-up. Boris Badenov coordinated the rogue Russian accessories. And the Caribbean contingent was led by Bonaparte Ignace Gallia.

And E. Howard Hunt, on his deathbed, told us the trute.

Consider this thread -- one of my favorites on DPF -- officially "bumped."
