REPORTS ON THE SAN FRAN SUMMIT
While I wasn’t there, I did get a half dozen reports
from people who were, and this is what I learned.
The highlight of the day for everyone were the two
presentations made by Professor John Newman, who updated the report he gave
last March on Antonio Veciana, the anti-Castro Cuban terrorist who was seen
with Oswald and David Atlee Phillips (aka Maurice Bishop). Veciana was involved
in a plot to kill Castro with a bazooka that also implicated the parents of
Silvia Odio, who were imprisoned in Cuba when Oswald and two Cubans visited
Odio when Oswald was supposed to be on his way to Mexico City.
It should be pointed out that the most recently
released government documents indicate that Veciana and Alpha 66 was run, not
by the CIA, but by Army Intelligence.
John Newman also repeated a presentation he made in
Dallas that definitively portrays Samuel Halpern as the liar he was in
implicating the Kennedys in the
assassinations plots to kill Castro. This was the basic background of the
aspect of the Dealey Plaza Operation that effectively checkmated RFK as
attorney general and kept him from investigating and prosecuting those actually
responsible for his brother’s murder.
Both Veciana and Halpern are given chapters and
numerous references in Newman’s new book “Into the Storm” – Volume 3 of his
multi-part series on the assassination of President Kennedy that should be
available now or will be very soon.
According to Lisa Pease: “David Talbot talked
briefly about the problems with the media and the need for a venue better than
Facebook at protecting our privacy to communicate in. Living as he does in the
heart of the high tech industry, he’s talking to people looking for a replacement.”
Lisa spoke about the RFK case, as her book on the
subject should be released soon. She showed six seconds of a film slice that’s
never been released to the public before that shows one of the
long-since-destroyed pantry doorframes – because, as she says, “it’s super
clear when you see it that two bullets – and nothing other than two bullets –
passed through that wood paneling into the post that we see in the FBI photos
(that are labeled ‘bullet holes’).”
Jim DiEugenio talked about how bad Halberstam’s book
The Best and the Brightest was, how
dishonest he was, etc.
Gary Aguilar got a few jabs at Paul Hoch, which
brought him a rebuke from Jonathan Marshall, who is part of the
anybody-but-the-CIA-did-it crowd (PDS commented from the
sidelines).
Jonathan Marshall put down Kennedy and tried to show
he was a Cold Warrior and talked about the contract for an air force plane that
he thought proved the Kennedys’ corruption, which Jimmy D took exception to.
Paul Hoch got up to defend himself (for working with
yet another lone nut author – (Fred Litwin) with acknowledgements to him and
John McAdams) – Litwin acknowledged Hoch and McAdams for instructing him on how
to evaluate evidence – excuse me while I puke here.
There were also some reports and presentations on
Oswald in Mexico (Not), and Permindex, as well as Jack Ruby’s gun running
activities involving Nancy Perin Rich and Eli Davis, who comes into play in the
Skorzeny Papers – aspects of which I will be writing about soon.
The more responsible parties involved in the San
Fran Summit – led by David Talbot – went out of their way to compose Ten Points
of Agreement that they all should have signed on to but I doubt Paul Hoch and
Johnathan Marshall will, but most of the others have.
I am posting these Ten Points one every day for the
next week at http://JFKCountercoup2.blogspot.com
