Perry Russo as Friend of David Ferrie

Russo was an insurance salesman from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He attended Tulane University, received a bachelor’s degree from Loyola University New Orleans in 1964, and attended one year of law school at Loyola.^[2][3] He moved away from New Orleans in September 1965.^[3] Russo came forward after his friend David Ferrie died on February 22, 1967, while being investigated by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison in regard to Kennedy’s death. In four television and newspaper interviews that Russo gave,^[4] he talked at length about Ferrie. He said that Ferrie had told him about a month before the assassination: “We will get him, and it won’t be long,” and on another occasion, “You know we can get Kennedy if we want him.”

Russo said nothing in the interviews about Oswald, Shaw, or a conspiracy.^[5] When a television reporter asked him on February 24 if Ferrie had ever mentioned Oswald’s name, Russo said, “No. I had never heard of Oswald until the television [coverage] of the assassination.”^[6]

However, when he was interviewed by Garrison’s office on February 27, Russo described a roommate of Ferrie’s in New Orleans as having “sort of dirty blond hair and a husky beard … a typical beatnik, extremely dirty.” When Russo was shown a picture of Oswald, he said that Oswald was the person whom Ferrie had introduced to him as his roommate sometime between May and October 1963.^[7] When shown a picture of Shaw, Russo said he saw him and Ferrie talking in a car at Ferrie’s service station. But still Russo said nothing about Shaw or Oswald conspiring with Ferrie to murder Kennedy.^[8] Russo added that if he were hypnotized he may have total recall on names and places and dates.

Garrison arranged to have Russo interrogated three times while hypnotized, the first time while also under an injection of sodium thiopental, known popularly as “truth serum”. Now Russo described a conspiracy plot, with Shaw (using the alias “Bertrand”) and a rifle-toting “Leon” Oswald at Ferrie’s apartment when Russo was visiting in mid-September 1963. Russo said Ferrie told him, “We are going to kill John F. Kennedy” and “it won’t be long.”^[9]

Testimony against Clay Shaw[edit]

At Shaw’s preliminary hearing on March 15, 1967, Russo repeated the claims he had made under hypnosis. When asked on cross-examination why he had not gone to the authorities two months after the alleged meeting, when Kennedy was assassinated, Russo replied, “I had an involvement with school, which was more pressing to me.”^[3]

Russo named two witnesses who could corroborate his story of attending a party at Ferrie’s apartment in September 1963 in which the assassination plot was made. The first, Russo’s former girlfriend, appeared on an NBC News program about the Garrison investigation on June 19, 1967, and denied being at Ferrie’s apartment, and said that she never even met Ferrie until 1965. The second, a friend of Russo’s, told NBC News that he was at Ferrie’s apartment then but saw nobody resembling Oswald or Shaw.^[10]

Russo failed two polygraph examinations ordered by Garrison, on March 8 and June 19, and during the second he confessed to the polygraph operator that his story was not true.^[11][12] Walter Sheridan, a former FBI agent and aide to Robert F. Kennedy who was investigating the Garrison accusations for NBC News, reported,

“In my conversations with Perry Russo, he has stated that his [preliminary hearing] testimony against Clay Shaw may be a combination of truth, fantasy, and lies. He says he wishes he had never gotten into this, but now he feels he has no choice but to go through with it. He said he’s afraid if he changed his testimony, that Garrison might indict him for perjury . . . Russo said ‘The hell with truth, the hell with justice. You’re asking me to sacrifice myself for Clay Shaw, and I won’t do it.’”^[10]

At a press conference with Garrison the day after the NBC broadcast, Russo accused Sheridan of attempting to bribe him into changing his story, and of alternating between promises and threats in seeking his help to “wreck the Garrison investigation.” NBC News denied the allegations, and Sheridan said that Russo had solicited offers from them. George Lardner Jr. of The Washington Post who reported on the story said a week or two earlier that Russo solicited a bribe from him in order to divulge “weaknesses” in his testimony.^[13][14]

Garrison had Russo testify two years later at the Clay Shaw trial, which ended in a not-guilty verdict after less than an hour of jury deliberation.

Later life[edit]

In August 1970, Perry Russo and another man were arrested for burglarizing a New Orleans residence, stealing property valued at eight thousand dollars, and being in possession of a stolen safe-deposit key. Garrison’s office declined to prosecute on the burglary and theft charges. Russo pled guilty to possessing the stolen key and was given a three-month suspended sentence.^[15][16][17]

In 1971, two years after Shaw’s not-guilty verdict, Russo told one of Shaw’s lawyers that he never saw Shaw at Ferrie’s apartment, and that Garrison’s office had done “a complete brainwashing job” on him.^[18][19] In a second, tape-recorded interview with a former Garrison investigator and two of Shaw’s attorneys, Russo spoke of Garrison and his staff telling him before the trial that they had a contract with Life magazine for $25,000, and that “after the Shaw conviction” they would “either give that to me or see somehow that I got a lot of it for my trouble.” Russo also said, “I guess I always knew [Shaw] had nothing to do with anything.”^[20] But to others, Russo continued to assert that he had seen Ferrie, Shaw, and Oswald conspiring to kill President Kennedy.^[21]

Journalist James Phelan, who covered the Garrison investigation for The Saturday Evening Post, later explained,

Jim Garrison retrieved from Wikipedia and copied or modified to here

James Carothers Garrison (born Earling Carothers Garrison; November 20, 1921 – October 21, 1992)^[3] was the District Attorney of Orleans Parish, Louisiana, from 1962 to 1973 and later a Federal Judge for appeals. A member of the Democratic Party, he is best known for his investigations into the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the prosecution of New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw to that effect in 1969, which ended in Shaw’s acquittal. He wrote three published books, one of which became a prime source for Oliver Stone‘s film JFK in 1991, in which Garrison was portrayed by actor Kevin Costner, while Garrison himself made a cameo appearance as Earl Warren. Garrison previously appeared titled as himself in the 1987 film Big Easy, a plot set in his own hometown of New Orleans.

Early life and career[edit]

Garrison was born in Denison, Iowa, in 1921.^[4][5][6] He was the first child and only son of Earling R. Garrison and Jane Anne Robinson who divorced when he was two years old.^[3] His family moved to New Orleans quite early into his childhood, where he was raised by his divorced mother. He served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II, having joined the year before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. After the war he obtained a law degree from Tulane University Law School in 1949. He then worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for two years where he was stationed with the Seattle office.^[7] Leading up to the Korean War era, Garrison joined the National Guard, even applying for active duty with the Army in 1951, but because of recurring nightmares of past missions Garrison was then relieved of duty by the Army. Remaining in the Guard when it became apparent that he suffered from shell shock due to his numerous bombing missions flown during World War II,^[8] leading one Army doctor to conclude that Garrison had a “severe and disabling psychoneurosis” which “interfered with his social and professional adjustment to a marked degree. He was considered totally incapacitated from the standpoint of military duty and moderately incapacitated in civilian adaptability.”^[9] Yet, when his record was reviewed further by the U.S. Army Surgeon General, he “found him to be physically qualified for federal recognition in the national army.”^[10] Upon returning again to civilian life, Garrison worked in several different trial lawyer positions before winning election as New Orleans District Attorney, starting with his first of three terms in January 1962.^[7]

District attorney[edit]

In the years prior to winning office as New Orleans District Attorney in 1961, Garrison worked for the New Orleans law firm of Deutsch, Kerrigan & Stiles from 1954 to 1958, before he first became an assistant district attorney. Garrison became a flamboyant, colorful, well-known figure in New Orleans but was initially unsuccessful in his run for public office. He lost a 1959 election for criminal court judge. In 1961, he ran for district attorney and won against incumbent Richard Dowling by 6,000 votes in a five-man Democratic primary. Despite lack of major political backing, his performance in a television debate and last-minute television commercials facilitated his victory.

Once in office, Garrison cracked down on prostitution and the abuses of Bourbon Street bars and strip joints. He indicted Dowling and one of his assistants for criminal malfeasance, but the charges were dismissed for lack of evidence. Garrison did not appeal. Garrison received national attention for a series of vice raids in the French Quarter, staged sometimes on a nightly basis. Newspaper headlines in 1962 praised Garrison’s efforts, “Quarter Crime Emergency Declared by Police, DA. – Garrison Back, Vows Vice Drive to Continue – 14 Arrested, 12 more nabbed in Vice Raids.” Garrison’s critics often point out that many of the arrests made by his office did not result in convictions, implying that he was in the habit of making arrests without evidence. However, assistant DA William Alford has said that charges would, more often than not, be reduced or dropped if a relative of someone charged gained Garrison’s ear. Alford said Garrison had “a heart of gold.”^[11]

After a conflict with local criminal judges over his budget, he accused them of racketeering and conspiring against him. The eight judges charged him with misdemeanor criminal defamation, and Garrison was convicted in January 1963. In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the conviction and struck down the state statute as unconstitutional.^[12] At the same time, Garrison indicted Judge Bernard Cocke with criminal malfeasance and, in two trials prosecuted by Garrison himself, Cocke was acquitted.

Garrison charged nine policemen with brutality, but dropped the charges two weeks later. At a press conference, he accused the state parole board of accepting bribes, but could obtain no indictments. Critical of the state legislature, Garrison was unanimously censured by it for “deliberately maligning all of the members”.^[13]

In 1965, running for reelection against Judge Malcolm O’Hara, Garrison won with 60 percent of the vote.

Kennedy assassination investigation[edit]

As New Orleans D.A. in late 1966, Garrison began an investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, after receiving several tips from Jack Martin that a man named David Ferrie may have been involved in the assassination.^[14] The result of Garrison’s investigation was the arrest and trial of New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw in 1969, with Shaw being unanimously acquitted less than one hour after the case went to the jury.^[15][16][17]

Garrison was able to subpoena the Zapruder film from Life magazine. Thus, members of the American public – i.e., the jurors of the case – were shown the movie for the first time. Until the trial, the film had rarely been seen, and copies were made by assassination investigator Steve Jaffe, who was working with Garrison’s office. In 2015, Garrison’s lead investigator’s daughter released his copy of the film, along with a number of his personal papers from the investigation.^[18]

Garrison’s key witness against Shaw was Perry Russo, a 25-year-old insurance salesman from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. At the trial, Russo testified that he had attended a party at anti-Castro activist David Ferrie‘s apartment. At the party, Russo said that Lee Harvey Oswald (who Russo said was introduced to him as “Leon Oswald”), David Ferrie, and “Clem Bertrand” (who Russo identified in the courtroom as Clay Shaw) had discussed killing President Kennedy.^[19] The conversation included plans for the “triangulation of crossfire” and alibis for the participants.^[19]

Russo’s version of events has been questioned by some historians and researchers, such as Patricia Lambert, once it became known that part of his testimony might have been induced by hypnosis and by the drug sodium pentothal (sometimes called “truth serum”).^[20] An early version of Russo’s testimony (as told in Assistant D.A. Andrew Sciambra’s memo, before Russo was subjected to sodium pentothal and hypnosis) fails to mention an “assassination party” and says that Russo met Shaw on two occasions, neither of which occurred at the party.^[21][22] However, in his book On the Trail of the Assassins, Garrison says that Russo had already discussed the party at Ferrie’s apartment before any “truth serum” was administered.^[23] Scambria said that the party information was simply accidentally left off the notes of his encounter with Russo. Throughout his life, Russo reiterated the same account of being present for a party at Ferrie’s house along with the Mr. Bertrand where the subject of Kennedy’s potential assassination had come up.^[24][25]

Garrison defended his conduct regarding witness testimony, stating:

Before we introduced the testimony of our witnesses, we made them undergo independent verifying tests, including polygraph examination, truth serum and hypnosis. We thought this would be hailed as an unprecedented step in jurisprudence; instead, the press turned around and hinted that we had drugged our witnesses or given them posthypnotic suggestions to testify falsely.^[26]

In January 1968, Garrison subpoenaed Kerry Wendell Thornley – an acquaintance of Oswald’s from their days in the military – to appear before a grand jury, questioning him about his relationship with Oswald and his knowledge of other figures Garrison believed to be connected to the assassination.^[27] Thornley sought a cancellation of this subpoena on which he had to appear before the Circuit Court.^[28] Garrison charged Thornley with perjury after Thornley denied that he had been in contact with Oswald in any manner since 1959. The perjury charge was eventually dropped by Garrison’s successor Harry Connick Sr.

During Garrison’s 1973 bribery trial, tape recordings from March 1971 revealed that Garrison considered publicly implicating former United States Air Force General and Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Charles Cabell of conspiracy in the assassination of Kennedy after learning he was the brother of Earle Cabell, the Dallas mayor in 1963.^[29] Theorizing that a plot to kill the president was masterminded out of New Orleans in conjunction with the CIA with cooperation from the Dallas police department and city government, allegedly Garrison tasked his former chief investigator, Pershing Gervais, to look into the possibility that General Cabell had stayed in the city’s Fontainebleau Motel at the time of the assassination.^[29] The Washington Post reported that there was no evidence that Gervais ever followed through with the request and that there was no further mention of General Cabell in Garrison’s investigation. The article also notes that by this date in question Gervais was no longer working for the district attorney in New Orleans.^[29]

U.S. talk radio host David Mendelsohn conducted a comprehensive interview with Garrison which was broadcast in 1988 by KPFA in Berkeley, California. Alongside Garrison, the program featured the voices of Lee Harvey Oswald and JFK filmmaker Oliver Stone. Garrison explains that cover stories were circulated in an attempt to blame the killing on the Cubans and the Mafia but that he blames the conspiracy to kill the president firmly on the CIA who wanted to continue the Cold War.^[30] The very same reasonings as to why he thought JFK was killed were espoused by Garrison in filmed television appearances he would also make leading up to his death, the next year after Stone’s release of his cinematic film JFK, largely based on Garrison’s pioneering role in the lone attempt over time to prosecute in the case of President Kennedy‘s assassination.

Later career and death[edit]

In 1973, Garrison was tried and found not guilty by the jury for accepting bribes to protect illegal pinball machine operations.^[31] In an interview conducted by New Orleans reporter Rosemary James with Pershing Gervais, Gervais had admitted to concocting the charges.^[32]

In the same year, Garrison was defeated for reelection as district attorney by Harry Connick Sr. On April 15, 1978, Garrison won a special election over a Republican candidate, Thomas F. Jordan, for Louisiana’s 4th Circuit Court of Appeal judgeship, a position for which he was later reelected and which he held until his death.^[33]

In 1987, Garrison appeared in the film The Big Easy where he essentially played himself, and the next year he was featured in The Men Who Killed Kennedy series, airing in the United States beginning in 1988.

After the Shaw trial, Garrison wrote three books on the Kennedy assassination, A Heritage of Stone (1970), The Star Spangled Contract (1976, fiction, but based on the JFK assassination), and his best-seller, On the Trail of the Assassins (1988). A Heritage of Stone, published by Putnam, places responsibility for the assassination on the CIA and says the Warren Commission, the Executive Branch, members of the Dallas Police Department, the pathologists at Bethesda, and various others lied to the American public.^[34] The book does not mention Shaw or Garrison’s investigation of Shaw.^[34]

Garrison’s investigation received widespread attention through Oliver Stone‘s film, JFK (1991),^[35] which was largely based on Garrison’s book as well as Jim Marrs‘ Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy.^[36][37] Kevin Costner played a fictionalized version of Garrison in the movie. Garrison himself had a small on-screen role in the film, playing United States Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren. Garrison also appears live and comments on the Shaw Trial in the documentary The JFK Assassination: The Jim Garrison Tapes, written and directed by actor John Barbour.

Garrison died in 1992, survived by his five children.^[38][39] He is interred at Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans.^[40]

Legacy[edit]

Political analyst and conspiracy believer Carl Oglesby was quoted as saying, “… I have done a study of Garrison: I come out of it thinking that he is one of the really first-rate class-act heroes of this whole ugly story [the killing of John F. Kennedy and subsequent investigation].”^[41]

Garrison’s investigation and trial of Shaw has been described by critics as “a fatally flawed case built on flimsy evidence that featured a chorus of dubious and even wacky witnesses.”^[42] Political commentator George Will wrote that Garrison “staged an assassination ‘investigation’ that involved recklessness, cruelty, abuse of power, publicity mongering and dishonesty, all on a scale that strongly suggested lunacy leavened by cynicism.”^[43] Former Orleans Parish district attorney Harry Connick Sr. said it was “a travesty of justice”^[42] and that he “thought it was one of the grossest, most extreme miscarriages of justice in the annals of American judicial history.”^[44] Journalist Max Holland also described the investigation of Shaw as an “egregious miscarriage of justice”.^[45] Others who have called Garrison’s case against Shaw a “miscarriage of justice” or “travesty of justice” include historian Alecia Long^[46] and journalist Gerald Posner.^[47] Conspiracy researcher Harold Weisberg called it a “tragedy”.^[48]

Conspiracy author David Lifton called Garrison “intellectually dishonest, a reckless prosecutor, and a total charlatan”.^[49] At the time, Garrison came under criticism from author and researcher Sylvia Meagher, who in 1967 wrote:

… as the Garrison investigation continued to unfold, it gave cause for increasingly serious misgivings about the validity of his evidence, the credibility of his witnesses, and the scrupulousness of his methods.^[50]

According to Shaw’s defense team, witnesses, including Russo, claimed to have been bribed and threatened with perjury and contempt of court charges by Garrison in order to make his case against Shaw.^[51]

The FBI questioned Ferrie just five days after the assassination. Some of his answers have been grist for conspiracy theories. For instance, he acknowledged being greatly upset by the failure of Kennedy to support the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba by anti-communist rebels and admitted that he “might have used an off-hand or colloquial expression ‘He ought to be shot,’” according to the FBI report.

The report also states that Ferrie acknowledged criticizing Kennedy’s habit of riding in convertibles, stating that “anyone could hide in the bushes and shoot a president.”

But Ferrie denied actually wanting Kennedy dead and told FBI agents that he never had met Oswald.

During the 1950s, Ferrie was an instructor in the Civil Air Patrol, a congressionally chartered corporation that serves as a civilian auxiliary of the Air Force. He also was active during the 1960s in an anti-communist organization called the Cuban Democratic Revolutionary Front. He told investigators that he helped collect food, money, medicine and clothing for the organization.

Waters said New Orleans at the time was known as a city where it was relatively easy to get through customs. He said CIA types and the Mafia would approach pilots to fly “special missions” for them.

“A number of those guys kind of got hooked into,” he said, pausing, “something. My dad said he was approached a couple of times. And he just totally avoided it.”

Waters said his father was convinced three or four pilots flew “unknown characters” in and out of Dallas, where the JFK assassination took place.

What Could a Mysterious U.S. Spy Know About the JFK Assassination? retrieved from Politico Magazinek and copied or modified to here

[It appears to Edward Donegan it wa Civil Air Patrol and Waldorf Historia history]

Philip Shenon, a former Washington and foreign correspondent for the New York Times, is author of, mostly recently, A Cruel and Shocking Act: The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination.

She may have been one of the bravest and best-placed American spies in the history of the Cold War, but few people outside the CIA know the mysterious story of June Cobb.

The existing information in the spy agency’s declassified files depicts Cobb as an American Mata Hari-an adventure-loving, death-defying globetrotter who moved to Cuba to work for Fidel Castro, the country’s newly installed strongman, then found herself recruited to spy for the CIA after growing disenchanted with Castro’s revolution. The era’s rampant sexism is obvious in her job evaluation reports: Cobb’s CIA handlers wrote down speculation about her sex life and her failed romance in the 1950s with an opium farmer in the jungles of South America. And the reports are filled with appraisals of Cobb’s looks, noting especially her fetching blue eyes. “Miss Cobb is not unattractive,” her CIA recruiter wrote in 1960. “She is blonde, has a slender figure, although she has a somewhat hard look, making her appear somewhat older than her 33 years.”

According to another, undated evaluation, she had a “wiry” figure but had been attractive enough to catch the Cuban dictator’s eye. Cobb, the report said, was reputedly “a former girlfriend of Castro’s.” True or not, she was close enough to get a job on the Cuban dictator’s senior staff in Havana in 1960, the perfect perch to spy for the CIA. Cobb’s agency work in Havana and later in Mexico leads us to the most puzzling aspect of her life-that she later found herself drawn deeply into the mysteries of John F. Kennedy’s assassination. After the murder, she reported to her CIA bosses that she had identified a trio of witnesses who could tie Kennedy’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, to Cuban diplomats and spies in Mexico City, where Oswald had traveled just weeks before the assassination.

What did June Cobb know at the time? Historians of the Cold War-and anyone with an interest in JFK’s 1963 assassination and the possibility of Cuban involvement-are on the verge of learning much more about the extraordinary, often bizarre, sometimes tragic life of the American spy who was born Viola June Cobb, the full name that appeared on her birth certificate back home in Ponca City, Oklahoma, in 1927. The National Archives has recently acknowledged that it is preparing to release a 221-page file of long-secret CIA documents about Cobb that-for reasons the Archives says it cannot yet divulge-are somehow linked to JFK’s murder.

The Cobb file is among the most tantalizing of an estimated 3,600 assassination-related documents scheduled to be made public by late October under the 25-year deadline established by the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act. Under the 1992 law, the full library of long-secret files will be released automatically by the National Archives later this year unless President Donald Trump blocks their release on national security grounds. The White House has not signaled what Trump, who for years has promoted mostly baseless conspiracy theories, including about JFK’s assassination, will do.

When JFK Won by Losing By THOMAS OLIPHANT and CURTIS WILKIE

What we know about Cobb so far comes largely from millions of pages of other documents from the CIA, FBI and other federal agencies that were declassified years ago under the 1992 law. Within those documents are dozens of files that identified Cobb as a paid CIA operative when she worked on Castro’s staff in Havana and later when she moved to Mexico. Some of the documents tie her to a lingering questions about Oswald’s trip to Mexico City in late September 1963, not long before Kennedy’s November assassination. In Mexico, Oswald came under CIA surveillance when he met there with both Soviet and Cuban spies. Previously released documents also show Cobb’s involvement in CIA surveillance of a U.S.-based pro-Castro group, the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, which Oswald championed in the months before Kennedy’s murder.

There is one document about Cobb that has remained completely off-limits to the public all these years: the 221-page file identified as “FOLDER ON COBB, VIOLA JUNE (VOL VII)” on a skeletal index released by the Archives last year. It is one of the 3,600 documents that were withheld from public view entirely in the 1990s at the request of the agencies that originally produced them-in Cobb’s case, the CIA. The index prepared by the Archives shows that, as of 1998, when her file was last officially reviewed, the spy agency said the document was “not believed relevant” to the Kennedy assassination but could do unspecified harm if made public before the October 2017 deadline.

But the history of the assassination has needed to be rewritten since the 1990s, in part because of the CIA’s documented duplicity, which raises the question of whether Cobb’s file could in fact be relevant. A 2013 report by the CIA’s in-house historian acknowledged that the agency had conducted a “benign cover-up” in the years immediately after Kennedy’s assassination in an effort to keep investigators focused on “what the Agency believed at the time was the ‘best truth’-that Lee Harvey Oswald, for as yet undetermined motives, had acted alone in killing John Kennedy.”

New Orleans DA Releases Suppressed CAP Oswald Photo retrieved from Auxbeacon News and copied or modified to here

By New Orleans States-Item DA Releases ‘Suppressed’ Oswald Photo

District Attorney Jim Garrison has released a photograph of Lee Harvey Oswald in a Civil Air Patrol uniform, a picture he claims the federal government attempted to suppress. The photograph of Oswald, who was named the assassin of the late President John F. Kennedy by the Warren Commission, was distributed yesterday afternoon during a press conference called by Garrison.

THE PHOTOGRAPH, Garrison asserted, proves that Oswald knew David W. Ferrie, whom he described as a “well known, literally famous adventurer in the CIA.” Garrison claims that Oswald, Ferrie and Clay L. Shaw conspired to assassinate President Kennedy. Shaw has been charged with conspiracy and was scheduled to go to trial June 11 here. A temporary restraining order issued by Federal District Judge Frederick J. R. Heebe Tuesday postponed the trial indefinitely.

FERRIE, WHO WAS a CAP commander here at one time, died just a few days after the DA’s probe of the assassination was made public. Shaw, a 55-year-old retired businessman, says he never knew Oswald or Ferrie.

The Warren Report, which Garrison has attacked, mentioned that Oswald “was briefly a member of the Civil Air Patrol.”

GARRISON SAID yesterday that it was when Oswald joined the CAP that he was inducted into the Central Intelligence Agency by Ferrie.

The DA said the photograph of Oswald was probably taken sometime between 1955 and 1957.

There have been assertions that Ferrie and Oswald were in CAP during the same period of time but that they never knew each other because they were in different squadrons. Garrison said, “Whether Oswald was in the New Orleans Squadron or the Moisant Squadron is unimportant, because the two groups met together.”

  Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell OM FRS[66] (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970) was a Welsh polymath. As an academic, he worked in philosophy, mathematics, and logic. His work has had a considerable influence on mathematics, logic, set theory, linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, and various areas of analytic philosophy, especially philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, epistemology and metaphysics. He was a public intellectual, historian, social critic, political activist, and Nobel laureate. He was born in Monmouthshire into one of the most prominent aristocratic families in the United Kingdom.

  Russell was a pacifist who championed anti-imperialism and chaired the India League. He occasionally advocated preventive nuclear war, before the opportunity provided by the atomic monopoly had passed and he decided he would “welcome with enthusiasm” world government. He went to prison for his pacifism during World War I. Later, Russell concluded that the war against Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany was a necessary “lesser of two evils” and also criticized Stalinist totalitarianism, condemned the involvement of the United States in the Vietnam War and was an outspoken proponent of nuclear disarmament. In 1950, Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature “in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought”. He was also the recipient of the De Morgan Medal (1932), Sylvester Medal (1934), Kalinga Prize (1957), and Jerusalem Prize (1963).

Kennedy’s assassination, died Tuesday December 18, 2012 of congestive heart failure at his New Orleans home. He was 78.

  Louis Ivon served two terms in the state Legislature.

  A lifelong New Orleanian who served two terms in the state House of Representatives, Mr. Ivon graduated from Loyola University with a degree in criminology. He also attended FBI supervisory management schools and went to Texas A&M University, where he was trained to be a certified polygraph examiner.

  Mr. Ivon was a police officer for 16 years. During that period, he was assigned to the district attorney’s office, where he succeeded Pershing Gervais as the chief investigator in Garrison’s inquiry into Kennedy’s assassination. Clay Shaw, the only person arrested in what Garrison claimed was a wide-ranging conspiracy, was acquitted in less than an hour by a jury in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court.

  Garrison’s aides during that period said in 1983 interviews with The Times-Picayune that Ivon was loyal to his boss and never criticized the investigation. “He was one of the most loyal people I’ve ever known,” Traffic Court Clerk Noel Casanova said. “He was loyal to people, and people were loyal to him.”

  He also was unfailingly helpful, said Geraldine “Geri” Ivon, his wife. “If you came to him with a problem, he would listen to you. If he could not help you, he would tell you. If he could help you, he would. He was just a good guy.”

  Mr. Ivon stayed with the district attorney’s office for seven years. After retiring from the police force as a sergeant, Mr. Ivon held administrative positions in the Orleans Parish coroner’s office and Magistrate Court. He also ran twice for civil sheriff.

  In 1984, he won a special election to succeed state Rep. Ron Faucheux to represent a district that included the Lakefront and most of Gentilly. He won re-election four years later.

  After the 1990 census, the district was redrawn, and it gained a black majority. Even though Mr. Ivon, who was white, finished ahead of five black candidates in the 1991 primary, he lost in the runoff to David Armstrong, an African-American making his first bid for public office. Two subsequent attempts to get back into the Legislature, in 1993 and 1997, were unsuccessful.

  Mr. Ivon was judicial administrator for New Orleans Traffic Court until his retirement in March.

  He was twice elected to the Democratic State Central Committee, and he was a member of the Irish Channel Club, the Knights of Columbus and the American Legion.

  In addition to his wife, survivors include three daughters, Charlene Preveau and Darlene Ivon Melvin, both of Slidell, and Patricia Konnecker of New Orleans; five grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

• Sissy Spacek as Liz Garrison

• Joe Pesci as David Ferrie

• Beata Poźniak as Marina Oswald Porter

• Jack Lemmon as Jack Martin

• Walter Matthau as Senator Russell B. Long

• Donald Sutherland as Mr. X

  I Ed Donegan knew that man. Prouty was the inspiration for the character “Mr. X” in Oliver Stone’s film JFK.eroy Fletcher Prouty (January 24, 1917 – June 5, 2001) served as Chief of Special Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President John F. Kennedy. A former colonel in the United States Air Force, he retired from military service to become a bank executive. He subsequently became a critic of U.S. foreign policy, particularly the covert activities of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), about which he had considerable inside knowledge. He wrote the Secret Team, DOD big business insiders of the CIA who killed JFK. Further Reading

  This person who has info on who killed JFK was likely the person, neighbor, of us in Cape Cod we Donegans ice skated with on frozen cranberry fields, sailed with on Cape Cod bay, and dined with in each other’s homes.

• Ed Asner as Guy Banister

  Probable “Chicago Boys.” As Garrison continued his investigation, he became convinced that a group of right-wing activists, including Banister, Ferrie and Clay Shaw, were involved in a conspiracy with elements of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to kill Kennedy. Garrison would later claim that the motive for the assassination was anger over Kennedy’s attempts to obtain a peace settlement in both Cuba and Vietnam.[23][24] Garrison also believed that Banister, Shaw, and Ferrie had conspired to set up Oswald as a patsy in the JFK assassination.[25]

  In 1934, Banister joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Banister died of coronary thrombosis on June 6, 1964.He was present at the killing of John Dillinger. Originally based in Indianapolis, he later moved to New York City where he was involved in the investigation of the American Communist Party. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was impressed by Banister’s work and, in 1938, he was promoted to run the FBI unit in Butte, Montana. He also served in Oklahoma City, Minneapolis and Chicago. In Chicago, he was the Special Agent in Charge for the FBI.[4] He retired from the FBI in 1954.

  Banister moved to Louisiana and, in January 1955, became Assistant Superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department, where he was given the task of investigating organized crime and corruption within the police force. It later emerged that he was also involved in looking at the role that left-wing political activists were playing in the struggle for civil rights in New Orleans.[5] On the campuses of Tulane University and Louisiana State University, he ran a network of informants collecting information on “communist” activities. He submitted reports on his findings to the FBI through contacts.

  In March 1957, Banister was suspended after pulling a gun in public in a bar and threatening a waiter.[7] His suspension ended in June of that year. However, when he refused to be transferred to the N.O.P.D.‘s Planning Department, he was dismissed from the force.

• Brian Doyle-Murray as Jack Ruby

  It is my assertion (Edward Paul Donegan) that Jack Ruby killed JFK as a Cloning operative who was one of the trigger-men, his duty to participate in the silencing of Oswald who may in fact have not fired a shot nor been a part of any conspiracy AGAINST JFK.

  I state this based on my own experiences with the US Legal system. Demolition workers in uniform and hardhats blast mountains and buildings to be destroyed. The FBI, CIA, US DOD including its US PHS Commissioned Corps uses its explosive weaponry, available criminals, to blast dissidents on those on Kill Lists.

  I and other Targeted people assert lethal means of misconduct are used against us by assets who are either to do us harm in arbitrary treatment of us (such as turning down credit applications which should be approved) or arbitrary beneficial treatment of CIA backed persons, such as rigging trading or business deals or commercial opportunities on their behalf. Ruby as used against JFK sounds like it was a plan in the tank before Oswald was ever arrested.

  Front companies to conduct arbitrary acts under such as Business International Corporation, BBRDW, East-West Center, USAID, Peace Corps, Crane Group, etc., were well known CIA front companies or NGOs.
