-Caveat Lector- Special Taking Aim Broadcast: October 11, 2005 - Compelling New Evidence on the JFK Assassination
Tuesday, October 11, 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. ET (noon to 3:00 p.m. PT) WBAI-NY, 99.5 FM, http://www.wbai.org for real-time Internet stream New evidence establishing the role of the CIA in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Discussion with Joan Mellen, author of _A Farewell to Justice: Jim Garrison, JFK's assassination and the case that should have changed history_, published by Potomac Books. The book is our Fund Drive premium for your $125 contribution to WBAI. Exceptional book, compelling new evidence - a must for your library. Over seven years, Joan Mellen interviewed over 1000 people, many of them coming forward for the first time, and analyzed documents from the National Assassination Archive. With precision and insight, Mellen moves on from a review of the evidence compiled by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison to uncovering new evidence that substantiates the role of the CIA in the assassination and its cover-up. Mellen interviewed the actual participants in the plot to kill JFK, documented their meetings, plans and their implementation. A taste of what is new in this book and what will be discussed during the fund drive special: * Lee Harvey Oswald was not a loner but a government agent who worked for the CIA, the New Orleans FBI office and for U.S. Customs. Oswald was closely connected to CIA-sponsored anti-Castro figures in New Orleans, including Clay Shaw (who Garrison prosecuted), David Ferrie and a Cuban associate of Shaw's at the International Trade Mart named Juan Valdes. * Clay Shaw and David Ferrie, both Garrison suspects and CIA operatives, implemented the assassination by helping frame Oswald as the murderer. Mellen proves for the first time that Ferrie, an aviator, flew to Dallas the week of the assassination with the help of a loan that was co-signed by Shaw. Ferrie's job was to fly the assassins away to safety late on Friday, November 22nd. * Proof that Oswald was set up as a patsy. Thomas Edward Beckham, was trained at CIA to be the patsy should Oswald choose not to cooperate. * Robert Kennedy was aware of Oswald and his connection to the FBI before the assassination. RFK put Oswald under surveillance and had his Cuban associates tracking Oswald's movements during the summer of 1963, new facts never before revealed. * Proof that the cover-up began north of Baton Rouge before the shooting in Dallas when Oswald, in the company of Shaw and Ferrie, applied for a job at the mental hospital in Jackson, LA. Mellen has the only known interview with the director of the hospital at that time, Dr. Frank Silva. * The FBI, including "Deep Throat" Mark Felt, undermined the Garrison investigation. Government documents reveal that the FBI and CIA worked actively with a number of journalists who "covered" the Garrison investigation, including reporters with Newsweek and The Saturday Evening Post, as well as a government operative ostensibly employed by NBC television. An FBI document reveals J. Edgar Hoover directing his field offices to "tell Garrison nothing!" Joan Mellen, Temple University professor and author, is well-known for her biographies of Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett, Kay Boyle, Marilyn Monroe and Bob Knight. She has written seventeen books and has contributed to the Baltimore Sun, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Philadelphia Inquirer, among many publications. In 2004, Temple University awarded her one of their most coveted "Great Teacher" awards, for outstanding achievement, in particular in the graduate writing program. *** www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
