Why the Warren Commission is Inoperative today

[Jim DiEugenio]

First installment of a new series at CTKA to get the jump on the 50th.

I foresee about five or six plaques total.

But this one of itself does the job. Mainly because the average person knows almost none of it

I kind of doubt there will be much MSM attention about the Warren Report this fall. I could be wrong, though. The elections, Iraq and other issues will swallow up most of the bobble-heads' time and energy.

[Albert Doyle]

There's a sort of sick sarcasm involved in Johnson wanting to prevent WWIII since that could be construed as a slight towards Kennedy and his heroic prevention of the WWIII requested by the generals.

While I don't think it will rise to the level of the 50th of the assassination, I'm sure the 'usual suspects' will feed the MSM the their talking points and even which stories are 'important'. I do think it will rise to a fairly high level of attention - with the MSM following the party line, of course.

[Drew Phipps]

Whether the mainstream media shows it or not, it's still important to get it done. Nice work so far, and I'm looking forward to the next plaques.

[Jim DiEugenio]

Thanks Drew.

I think there will be some attention given it. Of course not like the 50th which was the most unbelievable propaganda barrage I can remember since 1967 and the crushing of Garrison.

I really hope some readers use this stuff to try and draw attention to just how bad the MSM was on the 50th.

[Albert Doyle]

If you listen to Burnham's telephone recording of Johnson and Hoover the former thought that bringing in Russell, Boggs, and Cooper would satisfy and control the liberal element. That he could count on them to contain the liberal faction and their possible issues.

[Jim DiEugenio]

What liberal faction?

Dulles, McCloy and Ford?

Not only was he wrong, what happened was the contrary to what he thought would be the case.

Maybe he was just dissembling for posterity.

[Albert Doyle]

Johnson probably knew that no matter what they decided they could be handled by the dominating coalition of the Dulles gang.


In the tape Hoover speculates that Ruby used his police contacts through his fraternity with them to gain access to the basement garage that day. As with the faked Mexico City trip Hoover's keen FBI detective skills become a problem for the official story. Funny, that the Commission never bothered to further explore those police relations. Especially in the Carousel.


Hoover slips and says "We proved that you could fire those 3 shots in 3 seconds" (What a freudian slip).


When Johnson goes over the points of evidence you can hear in his voice when he says there was no connection between Oswald and Ruby that he knows it's BS.


At the very end Johnson's message to Hoover is clearly "You play ball and you've got a position for life."
