... assassination. His front of Marxism, his association with embittered Cubans, his eccentric appearances leafletting on behalf of Castro, all point to a very public framing exercise. How much did Oswald know about this? Was he indeed one of the conspirators, but a loose cannon who could be conveniently pushed overboard? Or was he in fact an FBI penetration agent? This suggestion should not be ignored. Threats to Kennedy's life had been uttered by all kinds of strange groups and it would have been the FBI's task to monitor them. On his return from the USSR Oswald was probably enrolled into the COINTELPRO programme. Texas Attorney General Waggoner Carr even provided the Warren Commission with Oswald's FBI ...

... secret police, a political underground and coups d'etat [Americans] often find it hard to imagine that plots do play a role in other countries. ' This is pretty staggering -- and not a little puzzling -- even for somebody writing for the U.S . intelligence community during the Reagan-Bush years. What about the FBI, loyalty programs, Cointelpro, McCarthyism, Operations Chaos, Minaret et al at home; the CIA abroad? A 'fear of clandestine forces' on the part of the ruling elites of 'the Middle East' is entirely rational. Pipes concludes, absurdly: 'Twofold recommendations.

... of UFO enthusiasm among assassination researchers. In Volume 2 of the Forgive My Grief series by Penn Jones Jnr (Midlothian, Texas: Midlothian Mirror, 1967), one finds a review of a pro-Warren Commission book, The Scavengers: Critics and the Warren Report, by Richard Warren Lewis and Lawrence Schiller. The reviewer, former FBI agent and Ramparts contributor, William Turner, is particularly annoyed (p . 163) over the way Lewis and Schiller take a cheap shot at Sylvia Meagher by pointing out her considerable collection of UFO books. (Hey, I figure either the books are there, or they are not.) The trophy for flying-saucer passion ...

But you had better be prepared to defend your choice of reading material to politically-correct leftists who are checking on your associates. What's going on here? In the first place, Horowitz isn't completely mad. Yes, the Panthers were riddled with FBI agents and other dirty tricksters, but Huey Newton was living in a luxury Oakland penthouse in 1971, overlooking Lake Merritt, and I doubt that 'security' was the only reason. By 1978 I was living on the other side of the lake, and Newton was still considered politically correct as he returned from Cuba to stand trial for ...

... politicians in history.) In 1963 the American public had no idea of the intimate relationship between organised crime and the funding of political parties, and Jack Ruby's mafia presence ensured the silence of the Washington political establishment. As for the various intelligence and law enforcement agencies, first and foremost they had to bury their links with Oswald. The FBI had to conceal the fact that they knew of Oswald but had not keep tabs on him; or, worse, that he was working for them in the phoney Fair Play for Cuba Committee branch he was running. The CIA had to conceal their prior use of Oswald in their phoney defector programme; and his activities with the anti ...

... (4 ) A brief overview In the early days of World War 2, George Estabrooks of Colgate University wrote to the Department of War, describing in breathless terms the possible uses of hypnosis in warfare.(5 ) The Army was intrigued; Estabrooks had a job. The true history of Estabrooks' wartime collaboration with the CID, FBI (6 ) and other agencies may never be told: after the war he burned his dairy pages covering the years 1940-45, and thereafter avoided discussing his continuing government work with anyone, even close members of the family. (7 ) Occasionally, however, his lips loosened, and he would intimate that his work involved ...

... and the Surgeon General's office, briefed the ACSI about the plan to conduct LSD tests on European non-volunteer subjects. (14) The briefing report shows that ACSI agreed with the method applied to enhance their conventional interrogation standards. Although little concern was shown, the question of co-ordination with other agencies such as the CIA and FBI was raised. The final decision was made that the co-ordination with the other agencies would be postponed until after the conclusion of the field tests in Europe. According to ACSI's remarks, 'His concern was that if this project is going to be worth anything it [LSD] should be used on higher types of non-U ...

... who, refusing to admit their errors, are now putting out new criticisms. Such vague accusations as that 'more than ten people have died mysteriously' can always be explained in some more natural way: e.g ., the individuals concerned have for the most part died of natural causes; the commission staff questioned 418 witnesses (the FBI interviewed far more people, conducting 25,000 interviews and re-interviews) and in such a large group, a certain number of deaths are to be expected. (When Penn Jones, one of the originators of the 'ten mysterious deaths' line, appeared on television, it emerged that two of the deaths on his list ...
