Dan Hardway: A CRUEL AND SHOCKING...

[Jim Hargrove]

I don't think Mr. Hardway's purpose was to salvage anything from Phil Shenon's "maybe Castro did it" piece of crap article. This is a significant story from one-half of the team who wrote the most important report published by the HSCA. A lot here is not new, but it is thorough and succinct, and written by a guy who first brought to light the real significance of Oswald and Mexico City, beyond the "maybe Castro did it" bs. I can't remember how many rounds of unredaction releases the so-called Lopez Report endured. Among Mr. Hardway's statements in his new article:

In my view, Oswald's activities are more consistent with his being involved in an intelligence operation being run by U.S. intelligence than with him trying to make contact with Cubans to garner support for an assassination attempt on the sitting leader of this country.

As G. Robert Blakey has since acknowledged, "The CIA not only lied, it actively subverted the investigation."

The very first conspiracy theory, that Castro and the communists killed JFK the one expressed by President Johnson 20 minutes after the assassination, and first seeing print in the DRE's CIA funded newspaper, Trinchera, on November 23, 1963 still has followers and proponents, the latest being Phil Shenon. None of the proponents, it seems, have ever really considered whether they may be the victims or a part of a very good, deliberate disinformation operation possibly the best Phillips and Joannides ever ran.

Definitely worth a read, even by MC experts.
