Documentary on Clinton witnesses

[Albert Doyle]

This is the first explanation of Clinton episode that has made sense to me.

I think it was in 'Destiny Betrayed' that Oswald only got on the voter registration line because his application at the asylum would have gone better if he was a registered voter in the county. So I don't think the CORE part was planned in advance. It was a lucky coincidence that the Cadillac crew pulled up in front of a crowd of witnesses. There's no doubt that town Marshal Manchester got enough of an ID on Shaw that the Garrison case needs to be reviewed for criminal interference at the government level. It's amazing how corrupt America is and how political bs can be resourced to make things disappear in broad daylight if it doesn't suit the political needs of the fascists in charge.

Yeah, I bought & read 'Destiny Betrayed' in its entirety. But maybe it's my fault. I kept trying to connect the whole Clinton episode to the JFK assassination plot. And it made no sense to me. It makes sense IF the Dallas & Clinton plots are disconnected.

Clinton is exactly the sort of thing Guy Banister would have been involved in, trying to frame CORE with Cuban/Soviet involvement. And LHO would have been the perfect pigeon for that operation. He was perfect for Banister's objectives.

Back to 544 Camp Street. The fact that LHO stamped 544 Camp Street on even one FPFC flyer - and everybody agrees he did - even McAdams - is smoking gun evidence to me - that LHO had some connection to either Banister OR to anti-Castro Cubans, OR to both. The Clinton episode would corroborate Oswald's connection to Guy Banister.

I don't find any of the Clinton witnesses -pro or con - particularly convincing. But there are a lot of them on one side and only one witness on the other. The stories on the videos don't contradict. So that's persuasive enough for me.

But the lesson of this thread and of those videos for me, is that the Clinton plot was unconnected to the Dallas plot. And it corroborates a connection between Guy Banister and Lee Harvey Oswald, not to mention Clay Shaw.

Clay Shaw provided the Cadillac.

I wouldn't discount anything at the point of the Clinton visit since it was well into the period when the assassination was being organized. Oswald was probably being occupied with provocateur work to keep him busy. Probably infiltration work as well. As Garrison wisely discovered once you establish a connection between Shaw, Ferrie, Oswald, and Banister you establish a connection between Oswald and all the covert assassination underground groups like the exiles, CIA, mob etc.

That's Jim's theory and I disagree with it for two reasons: working at a mental hospital is not the same thing as being a patient in one. Also, the plotters were clearly trying to set up Oswald as a Castro-linked Marxist assassin, not a lone nut from a loony bin.

Like I say, it was in the news at the time, so they certainly should have known what to expect when they got there. I have an old copy of Collier's Encyclopedia Yearbook 1964 that has a photo from 1963 of blacks lined up inside the Registrar office with the caption "Future voters wait to register in Clinton, La."
