Nov. 22 radio interviews with me and Alexandra Zapruder

[Tom Scully]

Please consider that I was prompted to look behind the curtain of Garrison and his investigation only after reading the old Tom Purvis posts I have excerpted at the bottom of this post. In this thread and in the Clay Shaw thread
https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/sho...post107035

I have presented the intriguing coincidences that the opinions and analysis of Tom Purvis have led me to uncover.

..............

How likely do you think it was that Burke's longtime friend, best man in his wedding, host of buffet dinners in support of Burke's daughter's carnival high society activities, was not aware that Burke, as well as his own best friend at prep school and university, Phil Strong were both in high positions at CIA, or that Burke was not well acquainted with Phil Strong?

Trey Gowdy Says FBI Investigation Into Hillary Clinton's Emails Isn't Over

"Investigations are never over, unless a statute of limitations has expired, or unless jeopardy is attached," Gowdy told Kelly.
"So this investigation is over based on what they know, but they don't know what they don't know," he added....

Jim,
What I find troubling is that no one disclosed anything related to this, and I find it hard to believe author Carpenter just did not understand what he was presenting. He deserves recognition for putting it
out there, at all. No one wants to know this. It does not make sense, unless we are looking at what amounts to a stage play in which everyone was reciting their parts. This is the day after Shaw's
arrest, so he was the first batter up who did not take a swing at this ball. Why was William R Martin silent for the rest of his life? Oser knew some of it, his memo to Garrison was dated May 5, although in Weisberg's archive,
the portion with the description of the Lemanns is undated, unsourced, and in the Reissman file.:

[/URL]Peter Vea's index also includes the CIA background details on David Baldwin.

Jules Raburn Monroe was the son of Monte Lemann's law partner, Jules Blanc Monroe. Monte Lemann died in Sept., 1959, and when Jules Raburn Monroe died in April, 1961, he is described as senior partner at Monroe Lemann.
Jules Raburn was Princeton '29, and so was Edwin "Squirrel" Maurice Ashcraft III, chief of domestic contacts from the inception of CIA until 1966.

Carpenter writes that David Baldwin's March 2, 1967 letter to Shaw, in the donated Clay Shaw Papers at NARA, says that Baldwin's godchild and first cousin is married to Garrison.:

The closest Garrison ever wrote about this that I can find, is his description of Stephen B Lemann, without naming him, in the last page of his June 18, 1967 complaint letter to the FCC.:

A few points in an attempt to make this complicated post less complicated....:

David Baldwin's mother, Adele Ziegler Baldwin Raworth was the aunt of Jim Garrison's wife, Liz Ziegler Garrison. Adele was a maid of 1915 Comus Queen
Dorothy Selden Spencer, sister of best man in wedding of CIA regional chief William P. Burke, Jr., Walker Brainerd Spencer, who also happened to be Hill School
classmate and Princeton roommate of CIA's Phil Strong....

Lynne Foster, on Nov 9 2005, said:

As Jay Epstein aptly illustrated, Garrison's investigation shed absolutely nothing new on the assassination itself and according to the New Orleans States-Item, once a key supporter of Jim Garrison, "This travesty of justice is a reproach to the conscience of all good men...Garrison stands revealed for what he is: a man without principle who would pervert the legal process to his own ends."

Needless to say, assassination buffs began to accuse Garrison of staging the Shaw affair as a red herring to divert attention away from more salient leads in New Orleans.

Which leads to the obvious question. Is that why Garrison's supporters are so aggressive? Is it their purpose to continue to obscure the truth about the assassination of John F. Kennedy?

Well, one can rest assured that I am not an "assassination buff", and being considerably more familiar with New Orleans than most others who are posting here, I can assure you that Garrison was a shrewd as well as politically knowledgeable individual.

Therefore, for him to sacrifice his own personal integrity with the Clay Shaw "Circus & Sideshow", was not an act of ignorance on his part.
Therefore, if it were not an act of ignorance, then it was obviously a deliberate "act".

In addition to this, one must also consider that Garrison was formerly one of "Hoover's" boys, and for him to give a performance which was as inept as was the Clay Shaw trial, also meant that it would bring some discredit to the "Hoover" family.

Therefore, whatever political entity Garrison was dancing to the tune of, he obviously considered it to be far more critical to his long term livelihood than was the risk of offending JEH, or of even bring completely false charges against Clay Shaw.

Certainly brings to mind such items as the "Spruce Goose" and the "Glomar Explorer".

Garrison played the circus act long enough that everyone was quite tired of the show. Then, with his dramatic presentation of evidence, he succeeded in convincing many that everyone who even discusses this subject is quite possibly as "off" as was he.

Pretty hard act to follow!

When some factual interest again began to grow, then we were treated to "Garrison Resurected" aka/JFK per Oliver Stone.

And again, another good piece of "sleight-of-hand" which continues to prove that a good "con" can be repeatedly utililized so long as the general populace is given adequate time to "forget" the last time the con was utilized.

Since it is extremely doubtful and unlikely that either JEH or LBJ had anything to do with the assassination of JFK, Garrison "Side Show" & Company was not in the business of anything other than "diversion" away from the actual facts of the assassination, which of course JEH and the WC fully lied about.


Garrison's purpose was quite similiar to the female bird who goes into the "broken wing" act when any predator gets near the nest.

With the "broken wing", the mother bird will lead the predator off and astray, so far away from the nest that the predator is unlikely to find it's way back to the nest.

However, in the Garrison case, many of those who followed him are obviously still completely "lost" in the woods.

Certainly good for an occassional laugh, if nothing else.
