- 6:53Speaker 1: we're going to be tackling two interesting topics. Yeah, yeah,
- 7:00Speaker 1: I'll let you kind of take it from there.
- 7:03Speaker 4: Yes, I will explain to everyone Joe's gonna be talking
- 7:09Speaker 4: about Gary Underhill, of which a lot of unredacted documents
- 7:14Speaker 4: came out in this latest release concerning the Gary Underhill story.
- 7:20Speaker 4: And I didn't know anything about it before all that hullabaloo. Yes,
- 7:27Speaker 4: but apparently it's been around for a while. Just you know,
- 7:30Speaker 4: certain things have been redacted, and with a lot of
- 7:33Speaker 4: these things, you can only go so far unless you
- 7:37Speaker 4: start really looking into it. So you know, that's what
- 7:39Speaker 4: we do around here.
- 7:41Speaker 1: I have some surprises for you, Rob going back to Garrison,
- 7:45Speaker 1: even our old pal Gary Schoener talking about Underhill. So yes,
- 7:49Speaker 1: it has been around in his letters to to Wiseberg
- 7:53Speaker 1: or this one was Peen Jones actually so very interesting. Yeah,
- 7:57Speaker 1: but we'll get to that later.
- 8:00Speaker 4: Awesome. Yeah, And I figured, you know, since we're talking
- 8:03Speaker 4: about allegedly the CIA taking out people, okay for possibly
- 8:10Speaker 4: what they know on us soil, you know, I thought
- 8:16Speaker 4: about something that I don't believe I've ever covered on
- 8:20Speaker 4: the show before. Joe and that is the death of
- 8:24Speaker 4: Mary pincho Meyer. All right. There was a book that
- 8:29Speaker 4: came out some years ago to a great harangue called
- 8:33Speaker 4: Mary's Mosaic by Peter Janney. And I keep kicking myself
- 8:40Speaker 4: in the ass because I had the chance to buy
- 8:43Speaker 4: the book in this bookstore, use bookstore in Frederick, and
- 8:46Speaker 4: it was autographed by the author and all that stuff,
- 8:50Speaker 4: and I didn't do it. It was like three bucks.
- 8:53Speaker 4: Oh no, yeah, And I was damn it, but I was.
- 9:00Speaker 4: I can't remember if we if I told everybody on
- 9:02Speaker 4: the Wednesday Ay show or if I told you after
- 9:04Speaker 4: the show. Muh, I think the show. I think I
- 9:09Speaker 4: did too, So I'll may just throw it, throw it
- 9:12Speaker 4: out there for everybody. So there's some books that I
- 9:19Speaker 4: would like to have to complete my I mean, I
- 9:21Speaker 4: have a lot of books about the JFK assassination.
- 9:24Speaker 8: A lot of books.
- 9:26Speaker 4: Uh. Most of them I was able to get, you know,
- 9:29Speaker 4: very cheaply it use bookstores.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Uh.
- 9:32Speaker 4: We got some great ones around where I live. And
- 9:39Speaker 4: there was one that that has eluded me all these years.
- 9:42Speaker 4: I haven't on PDF, you know, for you know, the
- 9:45Speaker 4: free version whatever. And we've talked about it somewhat on
- 9:49Speaker 4: this show before because it kind of adds to the
- 9:53Speaker 4: mystique of the John T. Martin story and the Oswald fracas.
- 9:58Speaker 4: And yet YadA. And that's a book called Reasonable Doubt
- 10:03Speaker 4: by Henry Hurt that came out and I believe it
- 10:05Speaker 4: was in nineteen eighty six, And so I was like,
- 10:10Speaker 4: you know what, I need a physical copy of this
- 10:12Speaker 4: book because I would like to have it, you know,
- 10:15Speaker 4: I just I just want one. So I finally broke
- 10:18Speaker 4: down and I ordered it off Amazon, and they had
- 10:24Speaker 4: a bunch of like, you know, good copies, But I
- 10:29Speaker 4: was like, you know, I don't want to beat up
- 10:31Speaker 4: ass book, you know what I mean? Like I wanted
- 10:33Speaker 4: something decent.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Yeah, they have an excellent, good, poor, yeah couple.
- 10:38Speaker 4: And I know it's a forty year old book, but
- 10:39Speaker 4: you know, hey.
- 10:41Speaker 1: You want Yeah. And in many cases, robin excellent or
- 10:45Speaker 1: good is like a couple more dollars than the poor
- 10:48Speaker 1: or lower version, So it's worright, depending on the supply,
- 10:52Speaker 1: of course.
- 10:53Speaker 4: Yeah. So I found a very good copy rated BG
- 10:57Speaker 4: and it was also rated collectible. Now normally what that
- 11:01Speaker 4: means is that the author has signed it to somebody,
- 11:05Speaker 4: or it's a special, first edition, number, limited edition or whatever.
- 11:10Speaker 4: But it didn't really say why it was collectible, so
- 11:13Speaker 4: you know, it was just you know, shot in the dark.
- 11:15Speaker 4: So it was like nineteen bucks. I ordered it and
- 11:19Speaker 4: it came and I was like, all right, what makes
- 11:21Speaker 4: this thing collectible? So, you know, I came. It was
- 11:23Speaker 4: very nice. It was in great condition. It had a
- 11:26Speaker 4: plastic dust jacket over the normal dust jacket, so everything
- 11:30Speaker 4: was really sweet looking, you know, like kind of like
- 11:33Speaker 4: the Library is due to their books, but it wasn't
- 11:36Speaker 4: a library book. It was a first edition and it
- 11:41Speaker 4: was signed by the author and guess who it was
- 11:45Speaker 4: signed to. Folks, Holy wow, you're gonna love this one.
- 11:52Speaker 4: So I opened it up to the title page is
- 11:54Speaker 4: to my good friend John F. Kennedy Junior. Had a
- 11:59Speaker 4: great time. I'm hanging out with you and Darryl. You know,
- 12:04Speaker 4: it's great to see you. Can't wait to see you again.
- 12:07Speaker 4: This is for you all the best, my friend, much love,
- 12:11Speaker 4: Henry Hurt. I was like, whoa, I just bought John F.
- 12:17Speaker 4: Kennedy Junior's copy of Reasonable Doubt.
- 12:21Speaker 1: That is a one of one as the kids call it, Sir.
- 12:25Speaker 4: I was like, what, that's crazy, dude, never read it.
- 12:28Speaker 4: I mean, the spine had never been cracked, right, but yeah,
- 12:35Speaker 4: never read it right, right? Yeah, So I thought that
- 12:40Speaker 4: was pretty cool.
- 12:41Speaker 1: You know.
- 12:42Speaker 4: Now I got John F. Kennedy Junior's reason or copy
- 12:45Speaker 4: of Henry Hurt's book Reasonable Doubt on my shelf. So
- 12:49Speaker 4: that's awesome, bro.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I mean, he was holding that book at some point
- 12:53Speaker 1: when he was giving it over, right, even if he
- 12:56Speaker 1: didn't read it, he held it.
- 12:59Speaker 4: Yeah, he had it at some point. Yeah. Wow, craziness, crazy,
- 13:04Speaker 4: the cool things you could find places like that. Yeah,
- 13:08Speaker 4: and I know, I know a lot of people have
- 13:10Speaker 4: heard about Uh oh, we got a doubt or in
- 13:14Speaker 4: the house, Rick, Right, So mary Meyer had no association
- 13:17Speaker 4: to the JFK case. Well, that's not what we're saying. Uh.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Yeah, Let's let's get a little into it here and
- 13:26Speaker 1: then uh and then make a logical conclusion here.
- 13:29Speaker 4: Let us cook, Rick, let us cook. You're slow boiling
- 13:32Speaker 4: this for you.
- 13:35Speaker 1: And everyone makes up their own mind. You know, we
- 13:38Speaker 1: just present the documents and some of the facts.
- 13:43Speaker 4: Yes, just the whole hold tight. I mean, and like
- 13:51Speaker 4: I said, we'll get into it. But you know, the
- 13:53Speaker 4: Mary Meyer thing really paid no attention to it. Didn't
- 13:56Speaker 4: read Mary's Mosaic. I've heard I've heard tangentially things over
- 14:00Speaker 4: the years of people that have read the book. It
- 14:03Speaker 4: was much bandied about, you know, fifteen years ago on
- 14:06Speaker 4: the interwebs and YadA, YadA, YadA. So I figured, you know,
- 14:13Speaker 4: it's been alleged that the CIA could have possibly been
- 14:16Speaker 4: behind her Mergeois and same with Gary Underhill allegedly, so
- 14:24Speaker 4: we figured it'd be a good combination to maybe dive
- 14:26Speaker 4: into some of these things. I've never talked about it
- 14:28Speaker 4: here on the show before, and maybe some people have
- 14:32Speaker 4: never heard about it.
- 14:32Speaker 1: So yeah, no, for sure. And and I kind of
- 14:37Speaker 1: just know the basics, right.
- 14:38Speaker 4: I know she was.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Married to Cordmyre, I know she had an affair with JFK.
- 14:44Speaker 1: I know she had as what is allegeds.
- 14:47Speaker 4: I know, don't give away every God damn well, I'm saying,
- 14:50Speaker 4: I know the basics.
- 14:51Speaker 1: I know the basics, so I'm looking forward to this
- 14:53Speaker 1: as well.
- 14:54Speaker 4: Yeah, damn, come on, I didn't get I was just
- 15:00Speaker 4: I'm so sorry for Erica. You're going to spoil you're
- 15:04Speaker 4: all's wedding. He does he do this often?
- 15:11Speaker 1: Erica speak up sometimes, see, which is yes.
- 15:19Speaker 4: Yes, Eric yes, yes, But.
- 15:25Speaker 1: To your point, I I really don't know much about
- 15:27Speaker 1: her either. I just know like the very basics, you.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Know, right, Well up, huh?
- 15:37Speaker 1: Nor do I have my mind made up if she
- 15:39Speaker 1: had anything to do with the JFK assassination or not.
- 15:42Speaker 4: Well, yeah, no, I'm not saying that she had anything
- 15:46Speaker 4: to do with the JFK assassination. I'm saying that her
- 15:50Speaker 4: death is suspicious and could possibly the CIA have been
- 15:58Speaker 4: behind it for a reason, Okay, Right, And I didn't mean.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I didn't mean to say like anything to do with
- 16:05Speaker 1: the JFK assassination, like she was a plotter or something
- 16:08Speaker 1: something like that. I meant like maybe possible knowledge or whatever.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Right, I just want to clarify, all right. So there's
- 16:23Speaker 4: a lot of things that are alleged about the relationship
- 16:27Speaker 4: between Mary pintro Meyer and JFK. I mean, and again
- 16:37Speaker 4: it's alleged because we don't know for sure. Now their
- 16:47Speaker 4: relationship goes back aways and I'm trying to find when
- 16:58Speaker 4: when they moved into Hickory Hill. I think it was
- 17:01Speaker 4: nineteen fifty five. JFK and Jackie bought this house called
- 17:11Speaker 4: Hickory Hill in McLean, Virginia. Very close to where the
- 17:19Speaker 4: CIA headquarters is, right down the road and McLean. Okay,
- 17:28Speaker 4: that's a nice house. It is a nice house. Well,
- 17:31Speaker 4: it turns out their neighbors were Cord Meyer and Mary
- 17:42Speaker 4: Pinchot Meyer. Okay, so that's how they became friendly, Yes, yeah,
- 17:49Speaker 4: how they became friendly and get to know each other
- 17:50Speaker 4: and all that stuff, became friends because you know, cord
- 17:54Speaker 4: Meyer being with the CIA and JFK being in politics,
- 17:58Speaker 4: they weren't around all the time, you know, they were,
- 18:01Speaker 4: they were going a lot. So these ladies, these socialite
- 18:05Speaker 4: ladies from you know, high standing, would often hang out
- 18:10Speaker 4: and gossip and do what women do, go shopping, ship
- 18:13Speaker 4: like that, you know, and you know, just hang out.
- 18:18Speaker 1: And Mary was a big socialite from from what I understand, right.
- 18:22Speaker 4: Well, yeah she was, well she was a lot of things.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Actually Georgetown scene or whatever.
- 18:28Speaker 4: She wasn't what they call Joe, your typical wife. Okay,
- 18:37Speaker 4: a little bit about her, all right. So she's the
- 18:41Speaker 4: daughter of a Northeastern elite for so long it played
- 18:44Speaker 4: a dominant role in American economy, culture, and government. She
- 18:49Speaker 4: herself took up painting and joined the Abstract Expressions Washington
- 18:52Speaker 4: Color School as a student of Kenneth Nolan. Some of
- 18:54Speaker 4: her paintings hanging museums today. Now, if you'll look closely
- 18:59Speaker 4: back at the cover photo here, right under the word conundrums,
- 19:05Speaker 4: is a circular painting. Do you see that, Joe, I do. Okay, Well,
- 19:11Speaker 4: it's not obvious that that's a painting, but that is
- 19:13Speaker 4: one of her paintings. Actually interesting. Yeah, And she was
- 19:21Speaker 4: into this abstract, linear, weird shit type thing, right.
- 19:32Speaker 1: So.
- 19:34Speaker 4: Her uncle was a fellow by the name of Gifford Pinchot,
- 19:38Speaker 4: who was the best friend of President Theodore Roosevelt. He
- 19:45Speaker 4: was also the first chief of the US Forest Service
- 19:48Speaker 4: in later governor of Pennsylvania. Her father, Amos Pinchot, was
- 19:54Speaker 4: a lawyer and prominent progressive reformer in the nineteen twenties.
- 19:58Speaker 4: Her sister, Antoinette or commonly known as Tony for short,
- 20:03Speaker 4: married a guy by the name of Ben Bradley, who
- 20:06Speaker 4: rose to fame as the executive editor of the Washington
- 20:09Speaker 4: Post and managed its coverage of the Pentagon Papers and
- 20:13Speaker 4: the Watergate scandal. Mary herself attended the elite Briarly School
- 20:19Speaker 4: in Vassar College or Vassar and whatever you want to
- 20:22Speaker 4: call it, where many of her classmates became involved in
- 20:31Speaker 4: the Washington elite through marriage to powerful elite players and politics.
- 20:41Speaker 4: Immediately after World War Two, Mary married coord Meyer and
- 20:46Speaker 4: together they built the United World Feddlers Federalists. Later, Coord
- 20:53Speaker 4: would be beckon to join the CIA by none other
- 20:58Speaker 4: than Alan Dulls himself, where he shared his liberal idealism
- 21:02Speaker 4: and served in senior roles until nineteen seventy seven. One
- 21:08Speaker 4: of Cord's bosses was James Jesus Angleton. Maybe you've heard
- 21:13Speaker 4: of him, but not only was he Cord Meyer's boss,
- 21:19Speaker 4: he was one of Cordmyer's best friends. In fact, James
- 21:26Speaker 4: Jesus Angleton was the godfather to two of the Meyer children.
- 21:33Speaker 4: Really yeah, wow, so that is not one as they
- 21:38Speaker 4: were not one two two of them?
- 21:42Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, as a godfather and myself Rob that's significant.
- 21:48Speaker 4: Yes, very serious role, you know. So Angleton and his wife,
- 21:54Speaker 4: Cordmyer and his wife, right, we're very good friends. And
- 22:01Speaker 4: they all lived very close together in Georgetown. So I
- 22:07Speaker 4: believe in nineteen fifty six, I was gonna say that
- 22:12Speaker 4: this house Hickory Hill here, JFK only lived here for
- 22:19Speaker 4: a year and then he sold it to his brother
- 22:22Speaker 4: because dude had like eleven kids and needed a big
- 22:26Speaker 4: ass house.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that looks like it has a lover of rooms.
- 22:31Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a you know, it's a it's huge,
- 22:34Speaker 4: it's ginormous, and it actually stayed in the Kennedy family
- 22:40Speaker 4: until two thousand and nine. It was put up for
- 22:45Speaker 4: sale for twenty eight and a half million dollars, but
- 22:50Speaker 4: eventually sold for eight and a half million.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Oh wow, well below asking.
- 22:55Speaker 4: Went through an extensive renovation, and in twenty thirteen, after
- 23:00Speaker 4: being renovated, uh, sold again. So somebody flipped it. They
- 23:06Speaker 4: flipped the McMansion.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Hm hmm, yeah, I'm sure they made a nice profit
- 23:11Speaker 1: on it too.
- 23:13Speaker 4: Yeah. So when but when jaf Can Jackie sold this,
- 23:17Speaker 4: they moved to Georgetown to believe it was n Street
- 23:21Speaker 4: or Oa Street in Georgetown, and uh, that part of
- 23:26Speaker 4: Georgetown I'm very familiar with is lined with these brick
- 23:32Speaker 4: you know townhouses.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Ye. Yep.
- 23:35Speaker 4: They're very big, they're very uh spacious, they're they're old,
- 23:40Speaker 4: they're historic. And it was there that they lived very close.
- 23:50Speaker 4: Jeff Can Jackie lived very close to Cordmire and Mary Meyer,
- 23:55Speaker 4: who had moved from Langley for Rginia or Yeah, Langley,
- 24:01Speaker 4: Virginia to Georgetown. They literally lived down right down the
- 24:06Speaker 4: block from him, and I think Angleton and his wife
- 24:09Speaker 4: lived like a street over. Yeah, so they were all
- 24:13Speaker 4: living very close together. Yeah.
- 24:16Speaker 1: And I'm sure most of the other people that joined
- 24:18Speaker 1: that own those townhouses were state department or this or that.
- 24:22Speaker 1: I mean, it's all government people there.
- 24:25Speaker 4: Yeah. So the relationship between Mary Meyer and John F.
- 24:30Speaker 4: Kennedy started way before he was even in politics or
- 24:36Speaker 4: was president or anything like that. So, actually, in nineteen
- 24:41Speaker 4: thirty seven, Mary Pinchot was attending a school dance. Like
- 24:47Speaker 4: I said, this is nineteen thirty seven. This is the year,
- 24:50Speaker 4: a year before Lee Harvey Oswald was born.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, years before we got into World War Two.
- 24:56Speaker 4: Yes, yeah. An impertinent young man named John F. Kennedy
- 25:01Speaker 4: repeatedly tried to cut in on her in her date
- 25:04Speaker 4: and dance with her. It was impossible not to know
- 25:07Speaker 4: who Kennedy was. His already famous father, multi millionaire businessman
- 25:12Speaker 4: in Hollywood, producer Joseph P. Kennedy, was named US Ambassador
- 25:15Speaker 4: to the United Kingdom the following year. But Mary was
- 25:19Speaker 4: offended by the young man's advances and apparently had no
- 25:22Speaker 4: contact with contact with him for more than a decade,
- 25:26Speaker 4: not until he murdered from World War II as a
- 25:28Speaker 4: hero and was elected first to Congress and then too
- 25:31Speaker 4: this Senate. But by that time he was already married
- 25:34Speaker 4: to Jaqueline Bouvier, and she was already married to court Meyer.
- 25:41Speaker 4: But always on the prow, Kennedy pursued her despite his marriage.
- 25:45Speaker 4: Her resistance melted over time, and after he was elected president,
- 25:49Speaker 4: she agreed to join him for dates in the White House.
- 25:53Speaker 4: Not much time passed before the two allegedly fell in love.
- 25:59Speaker 4: Contemporary account support this assertion and suggest that Kennedy would
- 26:02Speaker 4: have divorced Jackie after serving his second term in office.
- 26:06Speaker 4: Mary Pincho Meyer, John F. Kennedy's lover, was to become
- 26:09Speaker 4: his second wife, if you believe the hype. Mary's girlfriends
- 26:23Speaker 4: included her sister, of course, Tony Bradley, a woman by
- 26:27Speaker 4: the name of Katherine Graham, who later her husband's success
- 26:31Speaker 4: was as publisher of The White or Washington Post following
- 26:34Speaker 4: his suicide. Cecily Harriet Deltremont Angleton, wife of James Jesus Angleton.
- 26:42Speaker 4: Say that name five million times. Polly Wisner, who was
- 26:48Speaker 4: married to one of the CIA's founding members. And Pamela
- 26:51Speaker 4: Harryman formerly.
- 26:55Speaker 1: Not Frank Wisner.
- 27:00Speaker 4: Polly Wisner was Frank Wisner's husband or wife, whatever you
- 27:05Speaker 4: want to say. And Pamela Harriman, formerly Winston Churchill's daughter
- 27:09Speaker 4: in law, then married to Averell Harriman, a prominent State
- 27:12Speaker 4: Department official and one of the countryest wealthiest, wealthiest men.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Yes, what is it brown something Harriman.
- 27:22Speaker 4: Of that theme. Yeah, he was in tight with the
- 27:26Speaker 4: Dulles brothers. Yes. So Cordmire was in World War Two
- 27:33Speaker 4: stationed in Hawaii, I believe, and he took some shrapnels
- 27:40Speaker 4: to the face and it also caused him to lose
- 27:43Speaker 4: an eyeball, and so his face was scarred up and
- 27:50Speaker 4: he was given a glass eye that looked reasonably passable,
- 27:55Speaker 4: you know, as a substitute, I guess. And h somehow
- 28:02Speaker 4: met Mary Mormon or not Mary Mormon, Mary Meyer, not
- 28:09Speaker 4: Mary Mormon Mary Meyer in New York as he was recovering.
- 28:15Speaker 4: I think she was doing some kind of like volunteer
- 28:20Speaker 4: work at a care center for veterans, you know, or something,
- 28:24Speaker 4: and they met each other, they fell in love, and
- 28:27Speaker 4: you know, they eventually moved down here to go into whatever,
- 28:32Speaker 4: and then he was. He was approached to through mutual
- 28:36Speaker 4: friends by Alan Dulles to join the CIA. And that's
- 28:40Speaker 4: what's happened. The men who frequented the Georgetown parties, where
- 28:46Speaker 4: gossip flowed as freely as liquor, included her then next
- 28:49Speaker 4: husband Cordmyre, Cord's mentor, Bosston friend, James Jesus Angleton, Frank Wesner,
- 28:55Speaker 4: Joe Mhm, a former CIA director close to Angleton, Phil Graham,
- 29:01Speaker 4: a publisher and later co owner of The Washington Post,
- 29:04Speaker 4: Ben Bradley, and even occasionally John F. Kennedy.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Yes, the elite circles and the cocktail parties of the
- 29:13Speaker 1: DC elite.
- 29:15Speaker 4: Yes. Once Mary's intense affair with Jack Kennedy was underway,
- 29:22Speaker 4: she interacted frequently with Kenny O'Donnell, one of the President's
- 29:25Speaker 4: appointment secretary and procureer. She had little or no contact
- 29:30Speaker 4: with others in the White House since our Donald whister
- 29:32Speaker 4: in and out in secrecy. Unlike so many other women
- 29:36Speaker 4: during the three short years of the administration, Mary Meyer
- 29:38Speaker 4: was John F. Kennedy's lover in reality and not a
- 29:41Speaker 4: one night flame. Here's where it gets crazy.
- 29:46Speaker 1: Wait, what do you mean in reality? But not a
- 29:49Speaker 1: one time flame.
- 29:51Speaker 4: No, it was in reality she was really his lover,
- 29:54Speaker 4: not just a one night flame.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Okay, okay, good, thank you.
- 29:59Speaker 4: H There was a book written called The Lost Diary
- 30:05Speaker 4: of m Now this is not well, it's basically a
- 30:10Speaker 4: fictional account of what her diary possibly could have said.
- 30:16Speaker 4: So this is not a historically accurate diary portrayal. But now,
- 30:31Speaker 4: the reason she had a falling out with Cordmire, I mean,
- 30:36Speaker 4: their marriage wasn't the greatest anyway, and I believe it
- 30:43Speaker 4: was in nineteen fifty four. It was fifty three, somebody
- 30:48Speaker 4: hit their dog and killed it. And then the next
- 30:52Speaker 4: year somebody hit their son in the road and killed him.
- 30:56Speaker 1: Oh I heard about this. This rings a bell. Yeah,
- 31:00Speaker 1: that was Cordmyer's son.
- 31:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Wow, I didn't read about this.
- 31:06Speaker 4: After that, their marriage kind of fell apart and they
- 31:08Speaker 4: went through separate.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Ways, as a death of a kid does sometimes.
- 31:17Speaker 4: Yeah, but they could. They remained somewhat friendly, you know,
- 31:21Speaker 4: as friendly as can be. But they still shared the
- 31:24Speaker 4: same circle of friends and uh, you know, confidants, since
- 31:29Speaker 4: you know, people's wives were still hanging out together. That
- 31:32Speaker 4: the guys hung out together, the women hang out at together.
- 31:36Speaker 4: They just weren't together together anymore. Now there's an allegations
- 31:48Speaker 4: and I saw somebody bring it up here before. Timothy Leary,
- 31:54Speaker 4: the godfather of LSD.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Right, he wrote in his book, mister James Smith, who said,
- 32:01Speaker 1: don't say anything Joe about him again.
- 32:04Speaker 4: Not I'm just throwing it out there because he wrote
- 32:09Speaker 4: it in his book. Okay, he said that Mary Meyer
- 32:13Speaker 4: came to him and wanted his best shit, Okay, told
- 32:17Speaker 4: him she was going to dose the president and show
- 32:21Speaker 4: him everything that was right and wrong with the world. Right,
- 32:26Speaker 4: mm hmm. So he did. He gave her his best
- 32:30Speaker 4: shit and apparently, well, I mean it started with her.
- 32:36Speaker 4: She was dropping acid with Allen Ginsberg when she went
- 32:39Speaker 4: out to California and then enlisted Timothy Leary and turning
- 32:44Speaker 4: on her girlfriends in Georgetown. Mary regards LSD as the
- 32:50Speaker 4: means by which she and her friends will convert the
- 32:51Speaker 4: powerful men of the administration to the cause of world peace.
- 32:55Speaker 4: M hm. Right, So this is what they're kind of
- 32:58Speaker 4: blaming JFK's turn to peace. It's because he started tripping
- 33:02Speaker 4: on acid and you know, his mind expanding these you know,
- 33:08Speaker 4: these other world and.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we do know JFK definitely liked to
- 33:14Speaker 1: control substances, even if they were given to him by
- 33:17Speaker 1: a doctor. But Mary Pinchell Meyer, I think you mentioned
- 33:22Speaker 1: in your earlier description of her, was really progressive, anti war,
- 33:28Speaker 1: So that makes sense to me that she could.
- 33:32Speaker 4: Yeah, very left wing, very liberal, very anti war. You know, peace,
- 33:36Speaker 4: love and happiness before hippies were cool, you know what
- 33:38Speaker 4: I mean? Like that's what she headed the game.
- 33:40Speaker 1: She's head of the game.
- 33:41Speaker 4: There, she was the head of the game. Yeah.
- 33:44Speaker 1: Uh.
- 33:45Speaker 4: She manages to persuade several of the women she knows
- 33:47Speaker 4: not only to take alating themselves, but to administer to
- 33:49Speaker 4: their husbands. Could you imagine James Vangleton tripping.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Like he needed any help, right, bumbling around all day.
- 34:01Speaker 4: It came up with this intricate mob hunt. You know what.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Maybe she did. Maybe she was successful in giving it
- 34:10Speaker 1: to them. He was, who knows a lot of things.
- 34:15Speaker 4: She does eventually succeed in enticing the President to experience
- 34:19Speaker 4: the drug, and shortly thereafter, Kennedy delivers a ringing plea
- 34:22Speaker 4: for world peace and a widely cited commencement address at
- 34:25Speaker 4: the American University on June tenth, nineteen sixty three, that
- 34:29Speaker 4: shocked the Pentagon and the State Department to their core. Mary,
- 34:37Speaker 4: via Paul Wolfe, who's the guy that wrote this lost
- 34:40Speaker 4: diary of him, imagines a direct connection between the LSD
- 34:44Speaker 4: and the Call for Peace. Mary regards that speech and
- 34:51Speaker 4: even more telling me his decision not to authorize support
- 34:54Speaker 4: for the invasion invading force of the Bay of Pigs
- 34:56Speaker 4: as reasons for his assassination. It becomes clear the pages
- 35:00Speaker 4: of her diary that the events of November twenty second,
- 35:02Speaker 4: nineteen sixty three were the doing of the CIA. Peter
- 35:06Speaker 4: Janney's book makes the same case, and in my case,
- 35:09Speaker 4: and in my view, he does so convincingly. So whatever
- 35:12Speaker 4: became of this diary?
- 35:13Speaker 1: Joe, I've heard murmurs, you know.
- 35:18Speaker 4: But before we get there, let me just show everybody
- 35:22Speaker 4: a little bit over the crime scene. This is an
- 35:27Speaker 4: actual photo of the crime scene. This is down on
- 35:31Speaker 4: the tow path beside the beside the canal and George.
- 35:36Speaker 1: She was shot while jogging or something.
- 35:38Speaker 4: Right, No, she was taking a walk, taking a walk.
- 35:42Speaker 4: She had just got done painting and painting at her
- 35:47Speaker 4: at her townhouse. Right. She left a fan blowing on
- 35:50Speaker 4: it for the paint to dry. She put on three
- 35:53Speaker 4: layers or clothes and went out to take a walk
- 35:57Speaker 4: because it was a beautiful day and ends up being
- 36:03Speaker 4: shot at very close range in broad daylight.
- 36:07Speaker 1: Yeah executions. Yeah, I think one to the back and
- 36:12Speaker 1: one to the back of the head or something.
- 36:17Speaker 4: That's right, brother, But yeah, I'm not one hundred percent sure.
- 36:21Speaker 1: But uh, it doesn't seem random. Might be.
- 36:24Speaker 4: Yeah, they blamed this guy uh on the left there
- 36:31Speaker 4: under the yeah for her death, but there was a
- 36:41Speaker 4: lot of missing evidence, shall we say. I don't think
- 36:45Speaker 4: they ever recovered the gun. You know, this guy was
- 36:49Speaker 4: just somewhere close by and they just pinned it on him. Well,
- 36:55Speaker 4: it's not poor bastard shot.
- 37:02Speaker 1: And she didn't. Doesn't seem like someone that would be
- 37:09Speaker 1: nefarious enough to get shot walking execution style, unless maybe
- 37:14Speaker 1: one of these powerful people found out she was the
- 37:17Speaker 1: source of them getting dosed out other reason. But she
- 37:24Speaker 1: seems like she was very like peaceful at my point,
- 37:26Speaker 1: So why would someone what.
- 37:31Speaker 4: She knew or what she may have been saying. So
- 37:39Speaker 4: let me go back to when they first met each other.
- 37:40Speaker 4: Remember I told you they met at a dance and
- 37:42Speaker 4: Kennedy kept trying to cut in. Well, the guy he
- 37:47Speaker 4: was trying to cut it on at the time was
- 37:50Speaker 4: a guy by the name of William Attwood, who would
- 37:53Speaker 4: later figure into the secret negotiations with the Castro regime
- 37:57Speaker 4: which directly preceded Kennedy's murder. JFK was a college man
- 38:03Speaker 4: three years for senior. There's no indication that things went
- 38:05Speaker 4: beyond the dance that night, but I'm willing to bet
- 38:07Speaker 4: there was for both of them an instantaneous feeling of complicity.
- 38:11Speaker 4: Uh Complicity is what sparks romance, and complicity is the
- 38:14Speaker 4: only thing they could have allowed a president to drop
- 38:16Speaker 4: acid with Mary Pincho in the White House. Now, of course,
- 38:23Speaker 4: dropping as is not the only thing that they supposedly did.
- 38:28Speaker 4: I believe they also like to puff on the ganja
- 38:32Speaker 4: as they say.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Let's see, I can't blame them for that.
- 38:41Speaker 4: Yeah, you A. Cord Meyer was appointed by Angleton uh
- 38:51Speaker 4: Man to manage the CIA disinformationation disinformation campaign known as
- 38:56Speaker 4: Operation Mockingbird. Maybe you've heard of it. This is where
- 39:00Speaker 4: they control various aspects of the media, included print, you know, television, radio,
- 39:09Speaker 4: things like that. And of course we all know how
- 39:15Speaker 4: long that went on and probably is still going on
- 39:18Speaker 4: to this day.
- 39:21Speaker 1: I can almost guarantee it. And there's an interesting threat
- 39:24Speaker 1: on the ad forum that says, is Walkingbird still active today?
- 39:30Speaker 1: You think, yes, it is, just morphed into other spaces.
- 39:37Speaker 4: For most accounts, Jack courted Mary for a while before
- 39:40Speaker 4: she finally assented to having the White House Limo pick
- 39:43Speaker 4: her up for a tryst. The fact is she did
- 39:46Speaker 4: a sent and this led to a two year romance
- 39:49Speaker 4: that looks an awful lot like love Joe. In fact,
- 39:53Speaker 4: James Angleton, the same master of black Ops who has
- 39:56Speaker 4: seduced away her husband, insisted among JFK's many flings, this
- 40:00Speaker 4: was the one that mattered. He ought to have known
- 40:03Speaker 4: he was in love with her too. Mary Pinchot was
- 40:11Speaker 4: the sort of woman who gave you no choice. After
- 40:14Speaker 4: her own murder in October of sixty four, just short
- 40:17Speaker 4: of one year later than the presidents, it was Angleton
- 40:20Speaker 4: who wound up with her secret diary in his gnarled,
- 40:23Speaker 4: nicotine stained hands, allegedly allegedly so. She has killed on
- 40:32Speaker 4: the towpath that runs beside the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
- 40:35Speaker 4: one shot point blank to the head, one to the heart,
- 40:38Speaker 4: and was found on the ground in the fetal position.
- 40:41Speaker 4: The DC cop who gently turned her body over, said
- 40:44Speaker 4: he'd never seen a more beautiful corpse. Shoa. The attendees
- 40:50Speaker 4: at her memorial service where he who's who is, spooks
- 40:52Speaker 4: and characters who have since been cast in all manner
- 40:56Speaker 4: of conspiracy theories. But the most intriguing and provocative question
- 40:59Speaker 4: is not who executed her, but what passed between her
- 41:03Speaker 4: and Jack in the private hours of sex and recovery
- 41:06Speaker 4: they spent in the White House, many of those hours,
- 41:09Speaker 4: by her account, under the influence of psychoactive drugs like
- 41:14Speaker 4: marijuana and LSD. Likewise, I'm less interested in who may
- 41:18Speaker 4: have plotted together in there, or what the two of
- 41:22Speaker 4: them may have plotted together and they're blissfully altered state,
- 41:24Speaker 4: and how it may have altered the shape of history.
- 41:28Speaker 4: Timothy Leary is, of course, the primary source for the
- 41:31Speaker 4: Kennedy LSD stories, an admittedly unreliable narrator. Of course, you know,
- 41:41Speaker 4: you know, once two people were dead, there's really nobody
- 41:46Speaker 4: left to refute, you know what I'm saying, So who
- 41:49Speaker 4: knows if it's true? But Leary says that Mary came
- 41:53Speaker 4: to him in his office at Harvard, where he was
- 41:55Speaker 4: a respected academic doing a serious research on the brain
- 41:58Speaker 4: chemistry of psychedelics, but not yet notorious. She asked him
- 42:01Speaker 4: to train her how to guide an acid trip, and
- 42:05Speaker 4: said that she had entree to a world of powerful men,
- 42:09Speaker 4: men with their finger on the nuclear tricker, who, if
- 42:11Speaker 4: properly influenced, might come to see a better way to
- 42:14Speaker 4: chart the future course of the ship of state. She
- 42:18Speaker 4: asked him for his best stuff. Uh, I'd like to
- 42:23Speaker 4: think of it as graye A Olsley acid, the same
- 42:26Speaker 4: stuff that Gray Slick and out as Huxley were doing.
- 42:29Speaker 4: She returned to Washington like winged mercury, and delivered the
- 42:32Speaker 4: dose to the President, after which, in her telling, they
- 42:35Speaker 4: made love while.
- 42:37Speaker 1: Tripping, not the easiest thing to do. No, No, I
- 42:44Speaker 1: would not know, But.
- 42:50Speaker 4: He wondered aloud, Ha, what if the Russians did something
- 42:52Speaker 4: right now and I am fucked up? She wrote him
- 42:59Speaker 4: a fact joint, and they talked about how to seek
- 43:01Speaker 4: a newer world, one in which the heroes were peacemakers
- 43:04Speaker 4: and manliness was a quality associated as much with restraint
- 43:07Speaker 4: as military prowess. In the sixties, hip women were beginning
- 43:13Speaker 4: to know that the bigger the gun, the humbler of
- 43:15Speaker 4: the personal equipment and slowly but surely, as the story goes,
- 43:19Speaker 4: she got to him, not that the inclination wasn't already there.
- 43:22Speaker 4: He was a deeply intelligent man, but hip enough to
- 43:27Speaker 4: know or to be aware of Jack Carrowak and mingus
- 43:30Speaker 4: and monk, and cosmopolitan enough to see beyond their nationalism.
- 43:35Speaker 4: But she brought these qualities out. The acid brought them out,
- 43:38Speaker 4: and the historical record unfolds as if in synchronization with
- 43:41Speaker 4: their love affair. The peace overture is to cast her
- 43:45Speaker 4: and Khrushjev, the Nuclear Test band treaty, the American University speech,
- 43:49Speaker 4: the perhaps faithful decision to withdraw sixteen thousand troops from Vietnam.
- 43:53Speaker 4: I'm not suggesting that some others have that Mary and
- 43:56Speaker 4: her magic seeds were the soul or even principal influence
- 43:58Speaker 4: on Jack's evolution. But take her out of the picture,
- 44:02Speaker 4: and history may have been different than it was. She
- 44:09Speaker 4: was with him on the night of the day the
- 44:11Speaker 4: DM brothers were killed and dismembered in Saigon by a
- 44:14Speaker 4: CIA operation he'd given tacit approval to and later regretted.
- 44:20Speaker 4: The Knight may have come to him that he did
- 44:22Speaker 4: not have control of the chaok forces within his own government,
- 44:25Speaker 4: and that he and his own brother Bobby might like
- 44:27Speaker 4: the DMS, end up in a trunk. He called for her.
- 44:30Speaker 4: What was her advice? I imagine Mary criddling his head
- 44:33Speaker 4: in her hands and whispering something like that quote often
- 44:36Speaker 4: attributed to Gandhi about quote being the change we wished
- 44:39Speaker 4: to see in the world, then kissing his mouth to
- 44:42Speaker 4: quiet as fretting, and slowly taking him down to that
- 44:45Speaker 4: place where peace is made between a man and a
- 44:47Speaker 4: woman Joe. In the life of John F. Kennedy, it
- 44:51Speaker 4: may have been the only real peace he ever felt.
- 44:54Speaker 4: She changed his heart, and he offered the heart to
- 44:56Speaker 4: the forces a raid against him. What happened then is
- 45:00Speaker 4: overly great surprise. In all such cases, the kings must die.
- 45:08Speaker 4: Cordmyre never got over his ex wife, that tough Cie
- 45:11Speaker 4: operative with a glass eye and wars guarred face, wept
- 45:15Speaker 4: publicly throughout her memorial service. Hardened as he was by
- 45:19Speaker 4: then indentured to the company as surely as a mafia
- 45:22Speaker 4: to his capo. She must have resented him for the
- 45:26Speaker 4: man he had become. Many years later, caught in a
- 45:30Speaker 4: fleeting moment of transparency, Transparency and maybe remorse. He was
- 45:34Speaker 4: asked who he thought had married his late wife, Mary Meyer,
- 45:40Speaker 4: and he said, quote, Joe, the same son of a
- 45:43Speaker 4: bitches who killed Kennedy and he was in a position
- 45:46Speaker 4: to know. As far as the record goes, he never
- 45:49Speaker 4: spoke on the subject again.
- 45:54Speaker 1: So courtys saying, the same people that kill Kennedy killed
- 45:56Speaker 1: his wife.
- 45:58Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, the same sense of bitches. Yes, God, I
- 46:04Speaker 4: found the bitches. Yeah do you have?
- 46:07Speaker 1: I was going to bring up really quickly because James
- 46:10Speaker 1: had a good comment here. Mary was a beautiful lady,
- 46:14Speaker 1: highly intelligent, interesting woman, and I just want to show
- 46:18Speaker 1: a picture real rob this is her. Yes, she's really
- 46:23Speaker 1: beautiful woman. Obviously would have of course caught JFK's eye,
- 46:29Speaker 1: and if she had a husband with one eye who
- 46:31Speaker 1: was maybe not sharing her ideological views on anti war
- 46:37Speaker 1: being cordmired Sea, I could see ah a friendship developing
- 46:45Speaker 1: between her. You know, it makes it makes sense.
- 46:47Speaker 4: To me, right, Yes, Now I have a first hand
- 46:52Speaker 4: to count here from somebody who was there that day
- 46:58Speaker 4: when they found her body and who knew her. Actually,
- 47:05Speaker 4: so this is, like I said, a first hand account,
- 47:09Speaker 4: and I'm trying to find out who wrote this. I
- 47:13Speaker 4: think his name is Lance Morrow, but it says on
- 47:18Speaker 4: a perfect day in October. In nineteen sixty four, Mary Pinchermeyer,
- 47:21Speaker 4: mistress of John Kennedy, friend of Jackie Kennedy, an ex
- 47:25Speaker 4: wife of atop Cia man Cordmyre, was murdered in the
- 47:28Speaker 4: rarefied Washington Priescinct of Georgetown. It was half pass noon.
- 47:32Speaker 4: I was a cub reporter on the Washington Star in
- 47:36Speaker 4: the classically scruffy press room at police headquarters. I heard
- 47:38Speaker 4: the radio dispatcher direct cruisers twenty five and twenty six,
- 47:42Speaker 4: which I recognized immediately as homicide squad cars, to get
- 47:47Speaker 4: down to the Cno Canal. I alerted the city desk
- 47:50Speaker 4: and drove to Georgetown. Ran to the wall overlooking the
- 47:53Speaker 4: canal and saw a body curled up in a ball
- 47:55Speaker 4: on the towpath. Two men who had been changing a
- 47:58Speaker 4: tire nearby told me they had heard a shot. I
- 48:01Speaker 4: cried for help, a second shot, and they had called police.
- 48:06Speaker 4: There were no cops with the body yet, but in
- 48:09Speaker 4: the distance between the Potomac and the canal, I saw
- 48:11Speaker 4: the lines of the police dragnet closing in along the
- 48:13Speaker 4: towpath from west and east because I'd played there as
- 48:17Speaker 4: a young boy. I knew there was a tunnel under
- 48:19Speaker 4: the canal a few hundred yards west of where the
- 48:21Speaker 4: body lay. I knew the killer was still at large,
- 48:24Speaker 4: and might have also known about it, but the tunnel
- 48:27Speaker 4: would be the quickest way for me to get to
- 48:29Speaker 4: the other side of the canal to where the body was.
- 48:32Speaker 4: So I pushed aside the vines at the tunnel interest
- 48:34Speaker 4: and hurried through heart pounding and burst into sunshine. On
- 48:37Speaker 4: the other side. I approached the body of Mary Pinchot
- 48:41Speaker 4: Meyer and stood over it weirdly and awkwardly alone, as
- 48:45Speaker 4: the police were still advancing from either direction. She laid
- 48:50Speaker 4: on her side, as if sleeping. She was dressed in
- 48:52Speaker 4: a light blue, fluffy anglora sweater, petal pushers, and sneakers.
- 48:57Speaker 4: She was an artist and had a studio nearby, and
- 49:00Speaker 4: she had gone out for her usual lunchtime walk. I
- 49:05Speaker 4: saw her neat and almost bloodless bullet hole in her head.
- 49:08Speaker 4: She looked entirely peaceful, vaguely patrician. She had an air
- 49:12Speaker 4: of georgetown. I stood there with her until the police
- 49:15Speaker 4: came up. I held a reporter's notebook and the cops
- 49:18Speaker 4: from the homicide squad knew me, and they told me
- 49:21Speaker 4: to move away. The police found a man in the
- 49:24Speaker 4: woods down by the river. His name was Ray Crump Junior,
- 49:27Speaker 4: and he was black. His clothes were wet. He had
- 49:30Speaker 4: a cut on his hand. He gave the police a
- 49:33Speaker 4: couple of stories. He said he'd been fishing and had
- 49:35Speaker 4: dropped his fishing pole and calling into the river to
- 49:37Speaker 4: retrieve it. He said he had been drinking beer and
- 49:40Speaker 4: went to sleep and fell in. The two men who
- 49:44Speaker 4: had heard the shots told police that they had seen
- 49:46Speaker 4: Crump standing over the body, so he was booked for homicide.
- 49:51Speaker 4: The police found his jacket and cap in the river.
- 49:53Speaker 4: His fishing rod was in a closet where he lived
- 49:56Speaker 4: on the other side of the city. The murder weapon
- 49:59Speaker 4: was never found. It may still be at the bottom
- 50:01Speaker 4: of the river. Crump eventually was acquitted, though for lack
- 50:05Speaker 4: of evidence. Oh really, yeah, I told you the rested
- 50:09Speaker 4: his guy, but they didn't have any evidence on him.
- 50:11Speaker 4: I mean none, none, none, And he was acquitted.
- 50:15Speaker 1: In the initial trial or not an election people or anything.
- 50:18Speaker 4: Okay, no initial trial okay, interesting, Yeah.
- 50:21Speaker 1: I wonder who those guys were who were changing that
- 50:24Speaker 1: tire that id'd him, right, because you think that'd be
- 50:30Speaker 1: you have an eyeball witness, right, that's pretty and a
- 50:33Speaker 1: black man in the sixties.
- 50:35Speaker 4: Yeah, if there's a wall there and they're down on
- 50:37Speaker 4: the ground changing a tire, mhm. You know, so maybe
- 50:43Speaker 4: the black guy heard a shot and when they were
- 50:45Speaker 4: to look and see the white lady. You know, I
- 50:47Speaker 4: don't know.
- 50:47Speaker 1: No, I'm saying it's I agree. I'm saying it's very
- 50:50Speaker 1: surprising because you would expect ninety nine percent of those
- 50:53Speaker 1: cases he's done, he's gone for life, but yet he's quitting.
- 50:57Speaker 1: So that's an anomaly that it's sis. Yes, that's what
- 51:01Speaker 1: I'm saying.
- 51:01Speaker 4: He had a very good white lawyer. I don't know.
- 51:07Speaker 1: Uh.
- 51:07Speaker 4: But when Mary Mary Meyer died, no one knew about
- 51:10Speaker 4: her affair with John Kennedy except his closest confidant, Kenny O'Donnell,
- 51:18Speaker 4: and whoever it was that she had told. You know,
- 51:20Speaker 4: maybe some of her closest confidants, right, or nobody knew
- 51:26Speaker 4: that her ex husband's job job managed in the CIA's
- 51:28Speaker 4: clan destined services. In the newspapers, cord Meyer was identified
- 51:34Speaker 4: as an author with a very vague government job. Nobody
- 51:37Speaker 4: really knew he worked for the CIA. Ah, yeah, it
- 51:47Speaker 4: was Ben Bradley who identified the body at the Morgue.
- 51:52Speaker 4: Then other news intervened. There was a presidential election coming up, Johnson,
- 51:56Speaker 4: who had recently signed the Golf of Tonkin Resolution versus
- 51:59Speaker 4: Goldwater the warmonger. According to the nineteen sixty four narrative,
- 52:03Speaker 4: Khrushchev was deposed, China exploded its first nuclear bomb, and
- 52:07Speaker 4: the Warrant report had just come out a month prior.
- 52:12Speaker 4: But over the years, sensational fragments of the story JFK
- 52:16Speaker 4: CIA turned up inevitably conspiracy theories and merged who killed
- 52:19Speaker 4: Mary really? Was Ray Crump? Set up by whom? Why?
- 52:27Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of different theories, and there's
- 52:33Speaker 4: a lot of different stories, even about the diary which she,
- 52:41Speaker 4: you know, supposedly kept. So you could throw this into
- 52:56Speaker 4: a world of James Elroy, the Grassy and Old Jim
- 53:00Speaker 4: Jim Garrison, the Mafia, the Juniataction, are fair play for Cuba,
- 53:04Speaker 4: Mongoose and so on. Solution I inserted Mary Meyer by
- 53:09Speaker 4: accident into an entirely different story, the primal drama of
- 53:12Speaker 4: race in America. The Oliver Stone solution regards Ray Crump
- 53:17Speaker 4: as a misdirection. The Richard Wright solution regards the conspiracy
- 53:20Speaker 4: as misdirection. The conspiracy theory smacks of the oudable paranoid
- 53:25Speaker 4: fantasies of hidden plots by sinister super elders, and the
- 53:30Speaker 4: other doesn't cover the possibilities or particularities of this act.
- 53:35Speaker 4: At the same time, given what the two witnesses said,
- 53:38Speaker 4: and given Crump's alcoholism and mental instability, a criminal record
- 53:41Speaker 4: before and after the murder, I believe the jury aired
- 53:44Speaker 4: in acquitting him. In retrospect, the case suggests other movies,
- 53:50Speaker 4: one from Mary Meyer's youth, like The Intricate Murder Puzzle Laura,
- 53:55Speaker 4: or else that greatest generation favorite Castle Blanca, whether it's
- 53:58Speaker 4: robbing moral choices worked out over endless cigarettes and sacramental booze.
- 54:08Speaker 4: I grew up watching my mother and a number of
- 54:10Speaker 4: women of her generation, which included Mary Meyer born two
- 54:13Speaker 4: years before my mother, struggling in different ways with the
- 54:16Speaker 4: dilemmas of marriage and children, in power and alcohol and ambition.
- 54:20Speaker 4: In a city that was politically charged, noisy with controversy,
- 54:23Speaker 4: and at the same time stunningly dull, there was hardly
- 54:27Speaker 4: a decent restaurant in town, and not much theater beyond
- 54:30Speaker 4: the pedestrian National Theater down by the Treasury Department. The
- 54:34Speaker 4: National offered a visiting Bulgarian dance troops dancing dogs, perhaps
- 54:38Speaker 4: in an occasional Broadway side show. Sunday afternoon seemed to
- 54:42Speaker 4: go on for months. Washington was for medically segregated, ideologically
- 54:45Speaker 4: over trial, for militarily over powerful, yet also over anxious, overboothed, overstretched,
- 54:50Speaker 4: and over sexed. You saw those traits in Georgetown, which
- 54:55Speaker 4: seemed to house half the hierarchy of the State Department,
- 54:58Speaker 4: the CIA, and the journalistic established establishment, many of whom
- 55:03Speaker 4: gathered for argumentative high policy dinner parties on Sunday nights.
- 55:07Speaker 4: It's the Sunday Night Drunk, as one regular called it.
- 55:10Speaker 4: Men from Wild Bill Donovan's Old at Oss and Alan
- 55:13Speaker 4: Dullas A, CIA and other cold warriors out of Groton
- 55:17Speaker 4: and Yale and Princeton would drink too much, shout, and
- 55:21Speaker 4: might even one or two in the morning joe for
- 55:24Speaker 4: one another's throats or wives. They would send a note
- 55:28Speaker 4: of apology the next day. The expensively educated had styles
- 55:31Speaker 4: of cluelessness and over compensating with cheesemo that would come
- 55:35Speaker 4: to grief at the Bay of Pigs. So after her divorce,
- 55:43Speaker 4: she had moved to Georgetown became an artist, and she
- 55:46Speaker 4: was also a student of the painter Kenneth Nolan and
- 55:51Speaker 4: probably sexed him up too, experimented with drugs, in part,
- 55:55Speaker 4: it seems under the tutelage of Timothy Leary, who in
- 55:58Speaker 4: a book many years later claimed that Mary wanted to
- 56:00Speaker 4: turn Camelot into a piece and love acid trip. Mary
- 56:04Speaker 4: climbed the backstairs of the White House to have her affair,
- 56:06Speaker 4: and then she died on the tow path, a woman
- 56:09Speaker 4: interrupted but unhappy irony, the questioning, independent woman will be
- 56:14Speaker 4: known after death, not as an artist, but simply as
- 56:17Speaker 4: one of Kennedy's girlfriends. Washington was a small town. The
- 56:24Speaker 4: cast of characters and Mary's cast of characters overlap. Sometimes.
- 56:29Speaker 4: I played touch football on Saturday mornings at the playground
- 56:32Speaker 4: field at thirty fourth and Q Streets near Mary's house
- 56:35Speaker 4: with Bobby Kennedy and his cronies, with Byron Wizzard White
- 56:38Speaker 4: and others. JFK sometimes came to watch, leaning on leaning
- 56:42Speaker 4: on crutches. So you know, all these people are just
- 56:48Speaker 4: co mingling, intermingling with each other. They're all mixed up
- 56:51Speaker 4: with each other. Yeah, to the back to the diary.
- 56:58Speaker 1: Can I say something with the cook, Robin, just because
- 57:01Speaker 1: we have the best chat in the world. When you
- 57:03Speaker 1: said a white lawyer was probably representing Crump within four seconds,
- 57:07Speaker 1: James Smith's black layer actually, and Paula, I hope I'm
- 57:12Speaker 1: not doxing you here. I know is a former district
- 57:16Speaker 1: attorney or a DA assistant attorney. So the aquitted guy
- 57:20Speaker 1: was represented by one of the first black female criminal attorneys.
- 57:24Speaker 1: So very interesting. Yes, thank you learned something new. I
- 57:29Speaker 1: have some more things highlighted, but I'll get into it after. Yeah,
- 57:34Speaker 1: isn't that a great example of how our chap just
- 57:37Speaker 1: is probably the smartest chat in the world.
- 57:41Speaker 4: I would concur with that.
- 57:44Speaker 1: Thank you James and Paula.
- 57:48Speaker 4: So yeah, that's what we know about that. So back
- 57:52Speaker 4: to the damn diary, because that's what all the hulla
- 57:58Speaker 4: blues are about. Right right.
- 58:04Speaker 1: Now.
- 58:04Speaker 4: I have here in my hot little hand an FBI
- 58:09Speaker 4: memorandum okay from October fourteenth, nineteen sixty four, secret all
- 58:18Speaker 4: over it to mister Belmont of the FBI from mister W. C.
- 58:25Speaker 4: Sullivan of the FBI, subject John mccoonne, Director of Central
- 58:29Speaker 4: Intelligence Agency. Excuse me, reference is made to mister mccoone's
- 58:35Speaker 4: meeting with I don't know who on October thirteen, sixty four.
- 58:43Speaker 1: Has to be an FBI guy, right, if it's an
- 58:45Speaker 1: FBI document.
- 58:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. She went two instructions. The liaison
- 58:51Speaker 4: agent Richard Hilms, Deputy Director of Plans, had inquired if
- 58:57Speaker 4: a meeting be held with Helms and James Angleton on
- 59:03Speaker 4: October fourteenth. Helms agreed to meet with me and Supervisor
- 59:08Speaker 4: Pappage on ten, fourteen sixty four, and the meeting would
- 59:12Speaker 4: be held at ten am on October fifteenth. Helms explained
- 59:15Speaker 4: that he and Angleton have been very much involved with
- 59:18Speaker 4: matters pursuant to the death and funeral of missus Mary
- 59:21Speaker 4: Pincho Meyer. She is the woman who was murdered on
- 59:24Speaker 4: the Canal Towpath near Georgetown and is also the former
- 59:31Speaker 4: wife of Cordmire. A CIA high official action. If approved,
- 59:38Speaker 4: I and Papach will meet with Helms on October fifteenth,
- 59:41Speaker 4: nineteen sixty four. Yeah.
- 59:50Speaker 1: I think her death was early October, sometime a few
- 59:54Speaker 1: days before that.
- 59:55Speaker 4: I mean this went up to like you know, Belmont
- 59:58Speaker 4: and Sullivan were like three and four, you know, underneath
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: of Clyde Tolsen. You know, so the FBI was questioning it,
- 1:00:09Speaker 4: looking into it. We're aware of it, and we're aware
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: of who she was and who her husband was and
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: all of.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: That Jazz probably the affair allegedly too. You probably they
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: you would think they knew about that.
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: So from Newsweek March first, nineteen seventy six, we have
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: a story. It's called Kennedy's and it's called more Pillow Talk,
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: and it's about Mary Meyer and her story. And when
- 1:00:43Speaker 4: it gets down to the part about the murdoir, mary
- 1:00:48Speaker 4: Meyer went for a walk because she often did, on
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: the towpath, blah blah blah, witness on a bridge, or
- 1:00:53Speaker 4: were struggling with a black man. By the time he
- 1:00:56Speaker 4: reached the scenes, she was dead with two bullet wounds.
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: A suspect was tried in a quit a few days
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: after her death. According to Jay Gorley, a freelance writer
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: who helped report The Enquirer's story, a group of Mary's friends,
- 1:01:09Speaker 4: including Tony Bradley Angleton and his wife, and Cordmire all
- 1:01:14Speaker 4: went to her home to try to find her telltale
- 1:01:16Speaker 4: diary Angleton had them had come equipped with drills and
- 1:01:22Speaker 4: white gloves from the CIA, and they tapped on walls,
- 1:01:27Speaker 4: drilled in floors, poked around in the furnace, dug in
- 1:01:30Speaker 4: the garden, but to no avail. But Tony Bradley found
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: it later and gave it to Angleton, who reportedly destroyed it.
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: And this account comes from a guy by the name
- 1:01:43Speaker 4: of James mcc truett, who was the vice president of
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: the Washington Post from nineteen sixty two to sixty four
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: and later in Newsweek bureau chief in Tokyo. He and
- 1:01:55Speaker 4: his wife were very close friends with Miss Myers, missus Myers,
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: she told them. He reported that Kennedy had asked her
- 1:02:03Speaker 4: to stay behind after a White House party in December
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: of sixty one, and she'd refused, But a month later
- 1:02:09Speaker 4: the President fronded her again and invited her over for
- 1:02:11Speaker 4: a te a tt and she resisted. He pressed, and
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: she finally agreed. Shortly afterward, a White House limousine driven
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: by a Secret Service agent picked her up and delivered
- 1:02:22Speaker 4: her to the South Portico. This began, said true, at
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: a series of brief encounters, sometimes two or three times
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: a week, between Meyer and JFK that lasted nearly up
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: to the assassination always while Jackie Kennedy was way So
- 1:02:43Speaker 4: there you have one account, okay, that they were all
- 1:02:48Speaker 4: together looking for this diary because they knew something explosive
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: could possibly be in it. Supposedly they didn't find it,
- 1:02:56Speaker 4: and supposedly Tony Bradley found it later and turned it
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: over to Angleton who supposedly burned it. Right, that's one story, right,
- 1:03:11Speaker 4: but there's others sure there and let me find it now.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: Tony Bradley was the woman friend of hers, right.
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: Was her sister or her sister? Thank you? Yeah, thank you?
- 1:03:30Speaker 4: All right, So again this is a different telling of
- 1:03:39Speaker 4: her death. October twelve, sixty four, Mary Pincho Meyer was
- 1:03:44Speaker 4: shot dead as she walked along the Chestabeake and Ohio towpath.
- 1:03:48Speaker 4: Henry Wigan's, the car mechanic, was working on a vehicle
- 1:03:50Speaker 4: on Canal Road when he heard a woman's shout out,
- 1:03:53Speaker 4: someone helped me, Someone helped me. He then heard two gunshots.
- 1:03:58Speaker 4: Then Wiggins ran to the edge of a war that
- 1:04:01Speaker 4: overlooked the towpath. He later told police he saw a
- 1:04:04Speaker 4: quote a black man in a light jacket, dark slacks
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: and a dark cap standing over the body of w
- 1:04:10Speaker 4: white woman. Mary appeared to be killed by a professional
- 1:04:14Speaker 4: hit man. The first bullet was fired at the back
- 1:04:16Speaker 4: of the head, but she did not die straight away,
- 1:04:19Speaker 4: so a second shot was fired into the heart. The
- 1:04:22Speaker 4: evidence suggested in both cases the gun was virtually touching
- 1:04:25Speaker 4: Mary's body when it was fired, and the FBI expert
- 1:04:28Speaker 4: testified the dark halos on the skin around both entry
- 1:04:31Speaker 4: wounds suggested they had been fired at close range, possibly
- 1:04:34Speaker 4: point blank. Right now, here's where Peter Janny comes into
- 1:04:44Speaker 4: the picture. The guy who wrote the book Mary's Mosaic,
- 1:04:47Speaker 4: Ben Bradley, points out that the first he heard of
- 1:04:49Speaker 4: the death of Mary Meyer was when he received a
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: phone call from Wister Janny, a friend of his who
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: worked for the CIA. This Wister Janny is Peter Janny's father.
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: My friend Wister Janny called to ask if I had
- 1:05:03Speaker 4: been listening to the radio. It was just after lunch,
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: and of course I had not. Next, he asked if
- 1:05:08Speaker 4: I knew where Mary was, and of course I didn't.
- 1:05:12Speaker 4: Someone had been murdering on the towpath, he said, and
- 1:05:14Speaker 4: from the radio description it sounded a lot like Mary.
- 1:05:17Speaker 4: I raced home Tony was coping by worrying about children,
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: hers and Mary's, and about her mother, who was seventy
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: one years old and living alone in New York. We
- 1:05:27Speaker 4: asked Anne Chamberlain, Mary's college roommate, to go to New
- 1:05:29Speaker 4: York and bring Ruth to us their mother. When Anne
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: was well on her way, I was delegated to break
- 1:05:35Speaker 4: the news to Brusly on telephone. I can't remember what
- 1:05:38Speaker 4: that conversation. I was so scared for her, my family,
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: and for what was happening in our world. Next, the
- 1:05:44Speaker 4: police told us someone would have to identify Mary's body
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: in the morgue, and since Mary and her husband, Cordmyer
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: were separated, I drew that straw too. It's according to
- 1:05:53Speaker 4: Ben Bradley, so to get to the Trutt thing right.
- 1:06:06Speaker 4: So that night Antoinette to pin show Bradley, Tony Bradley
- 1:06:10Speaker 4: and received a telephone call from Mary's best friend, Anne Truett,
- 1:06:14Speaker 4: who was an artist then living in Tokyo. She told
- 1:06:17Speaker 4: her that it was quote a matter of some urgency
- 1:06:20Speaker 4: that she found Mary's diary before the police got to
- 1:06:23Speaker 4: it and her private life became a matter of public record.
- 1:06:27Speaker 4: Mary had apparently told Anne that it quote, if anything
- 1:06:29Speaker 4: ever happens to me, you must take possession of my
- 1:06:31Speaker 4: private diary. Ben Bradley explains in his book called The
- 1:06:35Speaker 4: Good Life in nineteen ninety five, for that quote, we
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: didn't start looking until the next morning, when Tony and
- 1:06:41Speaker 4: I walked around the corner a few blocks excuse me,
- 1:06:44Speaker 4: to Mary's house. It was locked, as we expected, but
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: when we got inside we found our buddy Jim Angleton,
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: and to our complete surprise, he told us he too
- 1:06:54Speaker 4: was looking for Mary's diary. James Jesus Angelsson later claimed
- 1:06:59Speaker 4: that he had also received a phone call from Anne Truett.
- 1:07:02Speaker 4: His wife, Cecily Dolton want Angleton, confirmed this in an
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: interview given to Nina Burley. However, an article by Ron
- 1:07:09Speaker 4: Rosenbaum and Phelipe Noble in the New York in The
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: New Times on July ninth, seventy six gives a different
- 1:07:16Speaker 4: version of events, with the Angleton's arriving at Mary's house
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: that evening to attend a poetry reading and that at
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: this stage they did not know she was dead. Allegedly,
- 1:07:28Speaker 4: Cecily Angleton called her husband at work to ask him
- 1:07:30Speaker 4: to check on a radio report she had heard that
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: a woman had been shot on the old Chesapeake and
- 1:07:35Speaker 4: Ohio towpath in Georgetown. Walking along that towpath, which ran
- 1:07:39Speaker 4: near her home, was Mary Meyers's favorite exercise, and Cicely,
- 1:07:42Speaker 4: knowing her routine, was worried. Angleton dismissed his wife's worry,
- 1:07:46Speaker 4: pointing out that there was no reason to suppose to
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: suppose that the dead woman was Mary. Many people walked
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: along that towpath, and when the Angletons arrived at Meyer's
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: house that evening, she was not home. A phone call
- 1:07:59Speaker 4: to her answering service proved that Cecily's anxiety had not
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: been misplaced, and their friend had been murdered that afternoon.
- 1:08:07Speaker 4: The bullet in her chest severed the a order which
- 1:08:12Speaker 4: carries blood to the heart, and came out of her
- 1:08:14Speaker 4: chest on the other side. The evidence suggest in both
- 1:08:17Speaker 4: cases the gun was virtually touching Mary's body when it
- 1:08:19Speaker 4: was fired point blank. Blah blah blah blah blah. Now,
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: there's of course stories about this diary that she had
- 1:08:41Speaker 4: written in there, some things about, you know, her tryst
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: with Kennedy, her taking LSD with Kennedy. Apparently Angleton was
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: given a box the contents of the box were given
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: to Angleton, who claimed to have burned the diary without
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: reading it. Angleton later admitted that Mary recorded in her
- 1:09:13Speaker 4: diary that she had taken LSD with Kennedy before they
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: made love. Does that makes sense that he says they
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: didn't read it, But okay, of course you can read
- 1:09:25Speaker 4: it Jesus. So then this is what Ben Bradley has
- 1:09:34Speaker 4: to say about things. His surprising confession was that he
- 1:09:42Speaker 4: had lied during the trial of Raymond Crump, the man
- 1:09:45Speaker 4: accused of killing Mary Pincho Meyer. Bradley admitted in the
- 1:09:48Speaker 4: book that he had searched for Meyer's diary with Angleton.
- 1:09:53Speaker 4: He says, quote, We Bradley and his wife asked him
- 1:09:57Speaker 4: Angleton how he'd gotten into the house, and he kind
- 1:10:01Speaker 4: of looked away and shuffled his feet. Later we learned
- 1:10:05Speaker 4: that one of Jim's nicknames inside the agency was a locksmith,
- 1:10:10Speaker 4: and then he was known as a man who could
- 1:10:12Speaker 4: pick his way into any house in town. We felt
- 1:10:15Speaker 4: his presence there was odd, to say the least, but
- 1:10:18Speaker 4: took him in his word, and with him we searched
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: Mary's house thoroughly without success. We found no diary. Later
- 1:10:25Speaker 4: that day we realized that we hadn't looked for the
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: diary in Mary's studio, which was directly across a dead
- 1:10:31Speaker 4: end driveway from the garden behind our house. We had
- 1:10:35Speaker 4: no key, but I few I got a few tools
- 1:10:40Speaker 4: to remove the simple padlock, and we walked towards the studio,
- 1:10:44Speaker 4: only to run into Angleton again, this time actually in
- 1:10:47Speaker 4: the process of picking the padlock on the studio. He
- 1:10:54Speaker 4: would have been red faced if his face could have
- 1:10:57Speaker 4: gotten red, and he almost left without saying a word.
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: But I unscrewed the hinge and we entered the studio. However,
- 1:11:06Speaker 4: according to Ron Rosenbaum, where he interviewed Angleton, he described
- 1:11:10Speaker 4: Bradley as a liar and denied he'd ever been in
- 1:11:13Speaker 4: Mary's studio. Bradley claims that his wife actually found the
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: diary in a later search. Much has been written about
- 1:11:21Speaker 4: this diary, most of it wrong, since its existence was
- 1:11:24Speaker 4: first reported. Tony took it to our house and we
- 1:11:28Speaker 4: read it later that night. It was small, only about
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: six inches by eight inches, with fifty or sixty pages,
- 1:11:35Speaker 4: most of them filled with paint swatches and descriptions of
- 1:11:37Speaker 4: how the colors were created and what they were created for.
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: On a few pages maybe ten, in all the same handwriting,
- 1:11:45Speaker 4: but different pen Phrases described a love affair, and after
- 1:11:50Speaker 4: reading only a few phrases, it was clear that the
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: lover had been the President of the United States, though
- 1:11:54Speaker 4: his name was never mentioned. To say we were stunned
- 1:11:58Speaker 4: doesn't begin to describe reactions. Tony especially felt betrayed, both
- 1:12:03Speaker 4: by Kennedy and by her sister Mary. It has been
- 1:12:06Speaker 4: claimed that the Bradley's also found love letters sent by
- 1:12:09Speaker 4: Kennedy to Meyer, and these were destroyed. The following day,
- 1:12:16Speaker 4: her sister Antoinette Pincho Bradley gave the diary to Angleton
- 1:12:19Speaker 4: and told him to destroy it. But it turned out
- 1:12:23Speaker 4: that Angleton did not destroy the document, for whatever perverse
- 1:12:26Speaker 4: or perverted reasons. We didn't learn this until some years later,
- 1:12:30Speaker 4: when Tony asked him point blank how he had destroyed it.
- 1:12:33Speaker 4: When he admitted that he hadn't destroyed it, she demanded
- 1:12:36Speaker 4: that he give it back, and when he did, she
- 1:12:38Speaker 4: burned it with a friend as a witness. None of
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: us has any idea what Angleton did with the diary
- 1:12:44Speaker 4: while it was in his possession, nor failed to follow
- 1:12:48Speaker 4: Mary and Tony's instructions.
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: I'm sorry sir, who burned the diary again. I just
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: want to double take that after Angleton got it, his
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: wife earned it with someone else or what was it.
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: I'm sorry I didn't catch it.
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: No. Her sister asked Angleton how he destroyed the diary,
- 1:13:10Speaker 4: and he told her I didn't actually destroy the diary.
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: So then she at that point she asked for it back.
- 1:13:16Speaker 4: But this is years later, so he gave it back
- 1:13:19Speaker 4: to her, and then she allegedly destroyed it. Right, okay,
- 1:13:24Speaker 4: but nobody knows what he did with it while he
- 1:13:25Speaker 4: had it.
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: I see, thank you for clearing that.
- 1:13:34Speaker 4: After the publication of the book The Good Life, Cecily
- 1:13:38Speaker 4: do Tremont Angleton and this is ninety five. This is
- 1:13:42Speaker 4: like twenty years after Engleton's death, but his wife's still alive.
- 1:13:45Speaker 4: And Anne Truett wrote a letter to the New York
- 1:13:47Speaker 4: Times Book Review to correct what, in our opinion, is
- 1:13:49Speaker 4: an error in Bradley's autobiography. This error occurs in mister
- 1:13:54Speaker 4: Bradley's account of the discovery and disposition of Mary Pincheck
- 1:13:57Speaker 4: Meyer's personal diary. The fact is that Mary Meyer asked
- 1:14:01Speaker 4: Ann Truett to make sure that in the event of
- 1:14:03Speaker 4: anything happening to her while Anne was in Japan. James
- 1:14:06Speaker 4: Angleton take this diary into his safe keeping when she
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: learned that Mary had been killed, and Truett telephoned person
- 1:14:15Speaker 4: to person from Tokyo for James Angleton. She found him
- 1:14:19Speaker 4: at mister Bradley's house, where Angleton and his wife Cecily
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: have been asked to come following the murder. In the
- 1:14:25Speaker 4: phone call relating Mary Meyer's specific instructions, and Truett told
- 1:14:30Speaker 4: Angleton for the first time that there was a diary
- 1:14:33Speaker 4: and in accordance with Meyer's explicit request, and Truett asked
- 1:14:36Speaker 4: Angleton personally to search for and take charge of the diary.
- 1:14:40Speaker 4: This is, of course twenty years this is ninety five.
- 1:14:44Speaker 4: This is twenty years after Angleton's even dead. So in
- 1:14:51Speaker 4: twenty eleven the story continues. The Washington Post publishes a
- 1:14:55Speaker 4: letter from Angleton's children. They also questioned the account provide
- 1:14:59Speaker 4: a by Ben Bradley. They say and Trewett, a friend
- 1:15:02Speaker 4: of Tony Bradley, and Bradley's sister Mary Meyer, were abroad
- 1:15:06Speaker 4: when Meyer was killed in the district. Truett called Bradley
- 1:15:10Speaker 4: and said that Meyer had asked her to request it
- 1:15:12Speaker 4: Angleton retrieve mid or to retrieve and burn certain pages
- 1:15:17Speaker 4: of her diary if anything happened to her. James and
- 1:15:21Speaker 4: Cicely Angleton were with Ben and Tony Bradley at the
- 1:15:23Speaker 4: Bradley's house when Tony Bradley received a call Cecily. Our
- 1:15:27Speaker 4: mother told her daughter Guru sang kat Colsa. We all
- 1:15:33Speaker 4: went to Mary's house together. She said there was no
- 1:15:36Speaker 4: break in because the Bradley's had a key. The diary
- 1:15:39Speaker 4: was not found at that time, and later Tony Bradley
- 1:15:42Speaker 4: found it and gave it to Angleton. He burned the
- 1:15:44Speaker 4: pages that Meyer had asked to be burned and put
- 1:15:46Speaker 4: the rest in his safe. Years later he gave the
- 1:15:49Speaker 4: rest of the diary back to Bradley at her request,
- 1:15:51Speaker 4: and she burned the rest of it. So who in
- 1:15:58Speaker 4: the hell knows bro I don't know. And then at
- 1:16:07Speaker 4: the end of the end there's something titled Cord Meyer's Confession.
- 1:16:20Speaker 4: A guy by the name of C. David Hayman began
- 1:16:22Speaker 4: writing a book that was eventually published as Georgetown Ladies
- 1:16:25Speaker 4: Social Club in two thousand and four. The book concerned
- 1:16:29Speaker 4: the group of women that had been part of the
- 1:16:30Speaker 4: group that existed in the fifties and sixties in Georgetown.
- 1:16:34Speaker 4: This included Mary Pincho Meyer, and Hayman became interested in
- 1:16:38Speaker 4: her death, and in February two thousand and one he
- 1:16:41Speaker 4: requested an interview with Cord Meyer, who at this time
- 1:16:44Speaker 4: was himself dying of lymphoma. Hayman asked Meyer if he
- 1:16:47Speaker 4: had told the truth in his book Facing Reality from
- 1:16:51Speaker 4: World Federalism to the CIA in nineteen eighty. He says, quote,
- 1:16:55Speaker 4: I was satisfied by the conclusions of the police investigation
- 1:16:59Speaker 4: that Mary had been the victim of a sexually motivated
- 1:17:01Speaker 4: assault by a single individual, and that she had been
- 1:17:04Speaker 4: killed in her struggle to escape. Meyer replied, my father
- 1:17:09Speaker 4: died of a heart attack the same year Mary was killed.
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: He whispered, it was a bad time, and what could
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: he say about Mary Meyer, who had committed to to
- 1:17:17Speaker 4: heinous crime. And that's when he said, the same sons
- 1:17:21Speaker 4: of bitches that killed John F. Kennedy. He hissed. But
- 1:17:27Speaker 4: now some people supposed that possibly, you know, Cordmyre was
- 1:17:33Speaker 4: still in love with Mary Meyer. He found out about
- 1:17:37Speaker 4: the trysts with jfk got immensely pissed off and rigged
- 1:17:44Speaker 4: up her death right right.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: And if you take it in the context of listen,
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: they were lovers, they something happened, they got divorced. This
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: dude has one eye and now the smoke show of
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: your ex wife is dating, you know, the most handsome,
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: desirable guy in the world. You could see some jealousy
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: occurring there, especially if you're high up as Cord was.
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: And see and it's also thrown out there that James
- 1:18:20Speaker 4: Angleton was also in love with Mary Meyer.
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: Maybe from afar right, and he's drunkend.
- 1:18:29Speaker 4: Maybe, but you know how creepy dudes are, you know,
- 1:18:34Speaker 4: I mean, he's in do enough with him to be
- 1:18:38Speaker 4: named the godfather of their children. True and supposedly she
- 1:18:44Speaker 4: said explicitly that if anything happens to her to get
- 1:18:47Speaker 4: the diary to Angleton, do.
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: You think Angleton would be there personally picking locks?
- 1:18:58Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, I don't know if he was picking locks.
- 1:19:01Speaker 4: I'm sure he had a key to her place. Okay,
- 1:19:06Speaker 4: that's my guess, mhm, giving one. He probably had a
- 1:19:12Speaker 4: key to her place. If you know what I'm saying,
- 1:19:15Speaker 4: He's probably going there and sniffer panties when she wasn't
- 1:19:18Speaker 4: there or something, and then sneak back out. Yeah.
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: In case I need to take care of the god kids.
- 1:19:23Speaker 4: Mh. Yeah. But anyway, that's the story of Mary Pinchelmeyer.
- 1:19:30Speaker 4: We're not saying she's involved in the in the death
- 1:19:33Speaker 4: of the JFK directly, Uh, you know, indirectly, who knows.
- 1:19:40Speaker 4: You know, maybe he found out about this affair and
- 1:19:42Speaker 4: she got pissed because they were friends.
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: Mhm.
- 1:19:47Speaker 4: And then you know, maybe Jackie orchestrated this. Uh, who knows.
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: I'm gonna push back a little bit on that because
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: I think.
- 1:19:55Speaker 4: I'm just throwing the theories that are out there out
- 1:19:57Speaker 4: there that.
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, but Jackie was well aware of Jack's infidelities, right,
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not sure even if it is a
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: former friend that she would go to that length.
- 1:20:11Speaker 4: But again, current friend, you never know that thing. That's
- 1:20:15Speaker 4: the kicker. I'm sorry say that current friend. You know,
- 1:20:18Speaker 4: normally that ship is off limits. You know, if you
- 1:20:20Speaker 4: have if you have friend groups, you know where you
- 1:20:23Speaker 4: have husband and wife friend groups. Yeah, like it's one
- 1:20:27Speaker 4: thing to bang some horror that nobody knows that lives
- 1:20:33Speaker 4: in halfway across the country every once in a while. Yeah,
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: But when you're it's it's one of your best friends
- 1:20:40Speaker 4: and it's all part of your little friend group that
- 1:20:42Speaker 4: could fuck things up.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: Man. That's a no no, that's no no.
- 1:20:46Speaker 4: That's what we call shitting where you eat. But yes,
- 1:20:51Speaker 4: you don't do that.
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, And you have to think you know,
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: it's October. I think she died in October sixty four.
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: It's pretty close to when the warrant commission came out
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: within a month or two. In either direction, it could
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: be possible that they didn't want something to get out.
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: I don't know. It just could have been cord Meyer's
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: jealousy too and had nothing to do with you.
- 1:21:22Speaker 4: Or maybe Angleton thought that Cordmyer might have told her something. Yeah,
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: I mean loose lips, think ships, Joe. I mean, there's
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: so many suspects, so many ways this could go. Yeah,
- 1:21:37Speaker 4: such intrigue and mystery, and the company's balls deep in
- 1:21:41Speaker 4: this thing, you know what I mean.
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: And Angleton's drunk all the time. This woman's tripping all
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: the time, giving acid to everyone in Georgetown. I mean,
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: you never know. It doesn't seem to me that it
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: would be so random, especially the fact that you said
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: that this was during her normal lunchtime walk. Seemed to
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: be part of a.
- 1:22:02Speaker 4: Routine, right, it would be something that people knew that
- 1:22:05Speaker 4: she did, yes, which is a big red flag.
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: Yeah, so wow, I don't either. But that's that's why
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: we leave it up to you, you smart ladies and
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: gentlemen in the chat, to make up your own minds.
- 1:22:24Speaker 4: All right, So before we kick it over to Joe

- 1:26:50Speaker 4: know why I didn't use the other one.
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: Well, I know why, because it has a says Joe Burrelly.
- 1:26:55Speaker 4: The you know, I don't care. I's still I still no,
- 1:27:01Speaker 4: I know.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: I thankfully our grateful host the site does not pick
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: that up as yeah yet. But we're also saying it
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: completely wrong, and I'm calling myself that.
- 1:27:17Speaker 4: So yeah, we're self deprecating here, Yes.
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: Yes, but yeah, fascinating ship Rob. I have a couple
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: of comments here that I starred. I want to welcome
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: Craig Mallory, first time joining in live.
- 1:27:33Speaker 4: What's up, Craig? It might be Craig and Mallory. Oh
- 1:27:38Speaker 4: it could be. Yes.
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: Alpha sixty six is here a little late, better late
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: than ever? Hello, Mike getting drunk with James Angleton. I
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: mean I would I would pay a lot of money
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: to do that, to go back in the day and
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: do that, because that would be fun as.
- 1:27:55Speaker 4: Hell doing acid with James Angleton.
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: Oh, I mean that's that's priceless, bro. James Court lost
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: an eye on Ebo Jima. He wasn't the Pacific. I
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: read it was the Battle of Guam. But at the
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: end of the day, there are both islands in the
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: Far East.
- 1:28:14Speaker 4: So yeah, he flew back from Hawaii wherever he was
- 1:28:18Speaker 4: before that where he may have lost an eye, I
- 1:28:20Speaker 4: don't know.
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: Yeah, perpetual concepts, Happy Friday, all Triple B and the job.
- 1:28:27Speaker 4: How are you?
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: Of course one of our superspies. James also said Holo
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: Cord blamed Mary for the death of their son, and yeah,
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: we talked about that, that accident, and yeah, that will
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: blow up a relationship, especially if you have one eye on.
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: The girl is dope as hell.
- 1:28:47Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very sad age too. I mean the kid
- 1:28:49Speaker 4: was nine years old, so it wasn't like it was
- 1:28:52Speaker 4: just born or something, or it wasn't grown. It was
- 1:28:55Speaker 4: nine years old, which is a Horrorboy he used to
- 1:28:58Speaker 4: lose I mean, at any age is a horrib Boys
- 1:29:00Speaker 4: lose your son or your daughter, but yeah, nine is
- 1:29:05Speaker 4: horrible because you've had nine good years with him. The
- 1:29:09Speaker 4: starting to grow into that person that they're going to
- 1:29:12Speaker 4: be and then that's it.
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, things like that will break up a marriage.
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: I mean even if you have a strong relationship. I
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: mean that that type of tragedy is sometimes unrecoverable. James,
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: at first glance, it seems it's a straightforward criminal case.
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: He's talking about the death of Mary pinchel Meyer. But boy,
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: some of the circumstances, like the timing of witnesses, the couple,
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: the jogger, plus's background make it highly suspect.
- 1:29:47Speaker 4: I agree, yeah, but I mean, why why are you
- 1:29:49Speaker 4: going to try and rape a white lady and Georgetown
- 1:29:55Speaker 4: she says, no, you just kill her. I mean, what
- 1:29:57Speaker 4: kind of sense does that make?
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: It doesn't add up to me from the surface. James
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: also said Cord emerged for More War two committed to
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: world peace, but later evolved into a hardcore Cold warrior.
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: And again another possible reason of why their their marriage
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: could have, you know, kind of went different.
- 1:30:21Speaker 4: Ways, you know, converted by Dulls and Angleton.
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: Yet yeah, yeah, for sure, one percent. I could definitely
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: see that happening. According to many, Paul the Mike common
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: of the night here. According to many, her finest asset
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: was best appreciated when walking away. I had no judge
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: of such things. She had a nice ass.
- 1:30:46Speaker 4: Rob Well, yeah, I like Kramer Seinfeld. I'm an ass man.
- 1:30:57Speaker 4: All good.
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: Yes, thank you for that, Paul Uh Tiny angletons prove it, tiny,
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: says Angleton, is Langley's biggest failure. Failure. The mess he
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: created left the counterintelligence unit so screwed they had to
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: practically burnt to the ground and start over facts. Yeah,
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: he did run it kind of into the ground. Yeah, sure,
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: but they.
- 1:31:24Speaker 4: Gave him the keys to the castle and that's what
- 1:31:26Speaker 4: he did with it. And yeah, they had to dig
- 1:31:29Speaker 4: themselves out of a big, big hole.
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: Yeah, James also Colby, William Colby, who fired James Jesus
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: Angleton came to an interesting and also yes, one of
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: the more subs ones on my list.
- 1:31:44Speaker 4: That is for sure, we could have easily thrown this
- 1:31:48Speaker 4: into our suspicious CS.
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: We should have. Not that we have that much time left,
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: because I have thirty rogers here. What's up, buddy?
- 1:31:59Speaker 4: Yes, yar Old Oswald in the house.
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: Mhm, and U nk is here? What's up?
- 1:32:06Speaker 4: Bud uh.
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: Sullivan was accidentally shot just before he was to testify
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: Allah Rosselli, Allah de morn Shield Alagi and Conna, et cetera,
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: et cetera.
- 1:32:17Speaker 4: Et cetera. Solomon with the FBI.
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: Yeah, that's yeah, I think that's what he's talking about,
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: because Sullivan comes up on a lot of documents that
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: we've studied.
- 1:32:29Speaker 4: Yeah, w C. Sullivan.
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know much about his death actually anything,
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: but maybe we'll look into that in the future room.
- 1:32:40Speaker 4: Maybe next Wednesday, Maybe next Wednesday. I never know.
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: All right, So a lot of good comments from the
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: chat here. I know, I spent a couple of minutes.
- 1:32:50Speaker 4: On that, but a couple others real quick. So sure
- 1:32:53Speaker 4: Lee is up in the house. Oh Lee Hell comes
- 1:32:57Speaker 4: to play the Bloody Benders, and Colleen has a burning
- 1:33:02Speaker 4: question why did Joe have legs but Triple B doesn't
- 1:33:08Speaker 4: leg Smiring minds want to know.
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: Oh, oh, I see, I see, I see as you see.
- 1:33:15Speaker 4: It's a big fella, Colleen. They couldn't fit me in,
- 1:33:18Speaker 4: all of me in the package.
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: But if you know what I'm saying, you know, also,
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: Rob sometimes Ai, how you could tell us Ai is
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: that it messes up the fingers, right, there'll be six
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: fingers or things something like that.
- 1:33:32Speaker 4: Uh, dude, this has got a lot better because there's
- 1:33:36Speaker 4: like the one on the rights screwed up because they
- 1:33:38Speaker 4: put the scooter in her twice, right right, But on mine,
- 1:33:42Speaker 4: I have no legs, yeah, because those are actually camo shorts,
- 1:33:47Speaker 4: and you know, there may or may not have been
- 1:33:50Speaker 4: something picking out the bottom. I don't know, that's why
- 1:33:53Speaker 4: they cut it off. I don't know. It's hard to tell.
- 1:33:57Speaker 4: They disspelled Stone Tuble Pilots correctly, though, so I was
- 1:33:59Speaker 4: happy about that. That's all you can asked for.
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: Oh man, that's funny.
- 1:34:08Speaker 4: I'm actually seven foot three, Colleen, I have very long legs.
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: Yeah, and James with a good comment. Sullivan ran co
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: intel pro for the FBI.
- 1:34:18Speaker 4: So yeah, so they may have smelled a dirty rat.
- 1:34:26Speaker 4: That's why they wanted to meet with these guys a CIA, like,
- 1:34:28Speaker 4: did yall we all? Did y'all have anything to do
- 1:34:30Speaker 4: with this shit? You know?
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: And Turn is there? What's up?
- 1:34:36Speaker 4: Buddy?
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: He said? Stone Temple Pilots were awesome. I saw them
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: live on the second album tour.
- 1:34:43Speaker 4: Tell you what real quick? As an aside, I set
- 1:34:46Speaker 4: that up for you, bo bro, Okay, I believe it
- 1:34:50Speaker 4: was two thousand and one or two thousand and two.
- 1:34:54Speaker 4: The best concert that I was at was in Latrobe, Pennsylvania,
- 1:35:00Speaker 4: which is not that far away from me. They had
- 1:35:02Speaker 4: a rock festival, you know for the beer up on
- 1:35:06Speaker 4: the troid. I think it was rolling rock, but they
- 1:35:10Speaker 4: had like a festival. Stone Table Pilots played there. It
- 1:35:14Speaker 4: is on YouTube. It's an hour long set and they
- 1:35:19Speaker 4: fucking ripped it from beginning to end, and they were
- 1:35:23Speaker 4: on point, like one of them. They had just gotten
- 1:35:27Speaker 4: back together after breaking up, they had just put out
- 1:35:30Speaker 4: a new album and they were on fire. So if
- 1:35:35Speaker 4: you can find that concert, it's a good hour. Wheeland
- 1:35:39Speaker 4: is on it from the beginning to the end. It's
- 1:35:43Speaker 4: it's great. Just the recommendation from your uncle, Rob.
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: If they find it, do you happen? Should they email
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: the Long Gaman podcast.
- 1:35:52Speaker 4: If you can't find it, holler at me. I'll send
- 1:35:55Speaker 4: you a link. But just just google. You know, Stone
- 1:35:58Speaker 4: Table Pilots, Latrobe. It should pop right.
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: Up, nice, nice cool cool so and continuing with our
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: theme and Rob, I never want to hear you say
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: I take up too much time again, and hour and
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: thirty six minutes into this, I'm just missing here.
- 1:36:21Speaker 4: This is the position you put me in every week,
- 1:36:22Speaker 4: Joe I come in and I'm like, damn, Joe's already
- 1:36:26Speaker 4: taking up an Aaron twenty two minutes.
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: It happens. It does happen. And the funny part about
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: what I'm going to talk about, which is Gary Underhill,
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: is that it was initially set to be my topic
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: on Wednesday and an hour and a half and I
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: was like, I don't think I have time for this,
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: So an hour and a half and half and six
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: minutes and now I will try my best. But obviously,
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: Gary Hunter Underhill is a story that has a mainstream
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: I think you would say, post the document release right
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: last month, it was. It was big and a lot,
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: it was getting a lot of news coverage, and of course,
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: people like us who have studied the subject are aware
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: that it has been around for a very long time.
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: But I have a forty second clip here of an
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: example of what the mainstream media.
- 1:37:28Speaker 6: The day after the assassination is.
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: Saying about the Underhill story. And I'm going to go
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: into some of it and let you guys judge for yourself.
- 1:37:37Speaker 6: The day after the assassination, CIA agent Gary Underhill quote
- 1:37:41Speaker 6: left Washington in a hurry late in the evening he
- 1:37:45Speaker 6: showed up at the home of friends in New Jersey.
- 1:37:47Speaker 6: He was very agitated. A small click within the CIA
- 1:37:51Speaker 6: was responsible for the assassination, he confided, and he was
- 1:37:54Speaker 6: afraid for his life. He was afraid he would probably
- 1:37:57Speaker 6: have to leave the country. Less than six months months later,
- 1:38:00Speaker 6: Underhill was found shot to death in his Washington apartment.
- 1:38:04Speaker 6: The coroner quickly ruled that a suicide. I'm no expert,
- 1:38:09Speaker 6: but to me, that would be a conspiracy right there.
- 1:38:11Speaker 6: That would suggest that our own CIA played a role
- 1:38:15Speaker 6: in killing our thirty fifth.
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: A little embellishing there here from the mainstream media here. So,
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: Gary Underhill, what was up with the skuafuza?
- 1:38:32Speaker 4: Huh?
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: Well, I had, of course kind of known the basics,
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: but was kind of refreshed. But this is the document
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: that was released in the recent twenty twenty five releases
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: about Gary Underhill. And we have to pay very close
- 1:38:53Speaker 1: attention here to the wording of this. Okay, the wording
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: This is a CIA document of July nineteen sixty seven,
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: but the subject is ramparts. The magazine John Garrett Underhill
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: Junior and Samuel Cummings and inter Amco Ramparts of June
- 1:39:16Speaker 1: sixty seventh, Volume five, number twelve, page twenty twenty nine
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: contains the following passages about subjects. So it's important to
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: note that this is a CIA document addressing the article right,
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: so they are now quoting the article. They are not
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: saying this is exactly what happened, but that's kind of
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: how the mainstream media has portrayed it.
- 1:39:45Speaker 4: Quote.
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: The day after the assassination, Gary Underhill left Washington in
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: a hurry. Late in the evening. He showed up at
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: his home of friends in New Jersey. He was very agitated.
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: A small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination,
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: he confided, and he was afraid for his life and
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: probably would have to leave the country. Less than six
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: months later, Underhill was found shot to death in his
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: Washington apartment. The coroner ruled it a suicide. Jay Garrett
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: or Gary Underhill had been an intelligence agent during World
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: War Two and was a recognized authority on limited warfare
- 1:40:24Speaker 1: and small arms. A researcher and writer on military affairs,
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: He was on a first name basis with many of
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: the top brass and the Pentagon. He was also on
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: intimate terms with a number of high ranking CIA officials.
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: He was one of the agencies quote un people, un
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: dash people who performed special assignments. At one time he
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: had been a friend of Samuel Cummings of inter Armco,
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: the arms broker that numbers among its customers the CIA,
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: and ironically climbed Sporting Goods of Chicago from once the
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: mail order Carkano allegedly was purchased by Oswald. So again
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: this is just a document quoting the article, and it
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: goes on to say the friends whom Underhill visited say
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: he was sober but badly shook. They say he attributed
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: the Kennedy murder to CI CLICK, which was carrying on
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: a lucrative racket in gun running, narcotics and other contraband,
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: and manipulating political intrigue to serve his own ends. Kennedy
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: supposedly got wind that something was going on and was
- 1:41:41Speaker 1: killed before he could quote blow the whistle on it
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: end quote. Although the friends had always known Underhill to
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: be perfectly rational and objective, they at first didn't take
- 1:41:51Speaker 1: his account seriously. Quote. I think the main reason was
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: explaining to the husband that we couldn't believe that the
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: CIA could contain a corrupt element. Every bit as ruthless
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: and more efficient than the mafia. The verdict of suicide
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: in Underhill's death is by no means convincing. His body
- 1:42:10Speaker 1: was found by a writing collaborator, Asher Burns of the
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: New Republic. He had been shot behind the left ear
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: and an automatic pistol was under his left side, odd
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: says Burns, because Underhill was right handed. Burns thinks the
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: pistol was fitted with a silencer, and the occupants of
- 1:42:31Speaker 1: the apartment could not recall hearing a shot. Underhill obviously
- 1:42:36Speaker 1: had been dead for several days. The article ends, Underhill's
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: chilling story is hardly implausible as a spy apparatus. The
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: CIA is honeycombed with self contained clicks operating without any
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: real central control. So that is the document that has
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: been around for a long time. And I'm going to
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: bring up my little not so fancy power point here
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: and show you exactly what part of this document from
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: the most recent release last month was redacted and won
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: a surprise you rob has to do with agency funds.
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: So if you look on the left here it says
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: fifty eight this is about Cummings issued sole ownership to
- 1:43:32Speaker 1: enter Armco. And on the right side what was redacted,
- 1:43:38Speaker 1: and Agency audit established the network of these companies around
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: two hundred and nineteen thousand dollars. So again financial things.
- 1:43:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I think inter Armco was also one of the
- 1:43:52Speaker 4: companies that would was buying up these shitty rifles post
- 1:43:57Speaker 4: World War Two and then selling them to places like
- 1:44:00Speaker 4: Klient sporting goods.
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: That would make sense, That would make sense, yeah for sure.
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: So on the left side here you're going to see
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: under the two hundred and fifty thousand the couple the
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: two or three lines after that is redacted on the
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: right and the most recent release. These items were to
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: remain property of the CIA and their cost was to
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: be returned to the agency after they were sold. Aka
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: inter Armco was a CIA funded company. That's what they're redacting.
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: Nothing to do with Underhill, per se. And on the
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: left side, this contact is still maintained until recently. The
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: personal purpose was to dispose of arms redacted on the
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: right side, and the CIA made a sizeable profit on
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: these transactions. So that again is a part that's reactive.
- 1:45:00Speaker 4: Arms dealing by the CIA.
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: Shocker, Yes, And that is what Underhill was involved with.
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: He was involved with arms dealing and that's how this
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: story kind of starts. So it starts, so let me
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: just back them for a second. The day after the assassination,
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: Underhill goes from Washington, d c. To New York, New
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: Jersey to his friends, the Fitzsimmons, you know, frantic saying,
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: you know, this is a little more than twenty four
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: hours after the assassination, saying the CIA and some click
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: was involved in it. He ended up staying that's very interesting.
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: The Fitzsimmons is his wife who received him at the door,
- 1:46:02Speaker 1: and his husband, her husband who was asleep at the time,
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: who she didn't actually end up waking up once he
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: came in. He came in, he kind of spout some
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: kind of random stuff and lest well, that's definitely what
- 1:46:22Speaker 1: the documents seemed to say that he was. But again,
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: we can one hundred percent trust it, so we'll let
- 1:46:30Speaker 1: the audience make up their mind. But defense simmonses would
- 1:46:36Speaker 1: not put him up at their home, and he therefore
- 1:46:40Speaker 1: and he then left and they never saw him again
- 1:46:46Speaker 1: from that point on, from November twenty third, nineteen sixty three,
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: to when he died on May eighth, nineteen sixty four.
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: So she were talking six plus months after, not even
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: six months after, yeah, yeah, yeah, close close to that.
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: He did not write anything about the assassination. He didn't
- 1:47:09Speaker 1: approach the FBI or the War Commission or any other agency.
- 1:47:14Speaker 1: And on May eighth, sixty four, he was found in
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: his apartment unconscious, you know, like by his writer friend
- 1:47:21Speaker 1: and an unnamed medical student, bullet wound in his head.
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: And I think a lot of the suspicion here comes
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: from the fact that this writer said that he was
- 1:47:34Speaker 1: right handed and the bullet wound was behind his left ear,
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: So that's I think the basis of most of this consp.
- 1:47:42Speaker 4: Gun was also in his left hand, and he was
- 1:47:45Speaker 4: laying on his left hand with the gun in it.
- 1:47:50Speaker 1: Well, could he have fallen on it?
- 1:47:52Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm just saying it just makes things
- 1:47:56Speaker 4: a little bit more sus right, right, right, you know
- 1:47:59Speaker 4: when you compare the things to like, who was the
- 1:48:02Speaker 4: guy I believe his name was Gary, Also Gary Webb,
- 1:48:08Speaker 4: the guy that uncovered like the CIA crack uh thing
- 1:48:12Speaker 4: in l a oh, And he allegedly shot himself twice
- 1:48:20Speaker 4: in the head to commit suicide. He had too much
- 1:48:24Speaker 4: shot wounds to the head and they ruled it a suicide.
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: Yeah, or the guy, the Clinton guy, Vince Foster that
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: had the shotgun.
- 1:48:32Speaker 4: Yeah, just the heart that was so filled with suspicious
- 1:48:36Speaker 4: CI link deaths. I mean there's an m O to
- 1:48:41Speaker 4: all these things.
- 1:48:42Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. So at first.
- 1:48:50Speaker 4: Something happens to me. Come come down here to Virginia
- 1:48:53Speaker 4: and get my diary. Please, it's very important.
- 1:48:57Speaker 1: I will, I will, I will. We'll have all your
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: secrets of the assassination in it.
- 1:49:03Speaker 4: Come get my laptop. That's the modest.
- 1:49:05Speaker 1: Day, right, Can I take out? Can I take some
- 1:49:12Speaker 1: of the merch? Yeah, okay, definitely the kiddie to look after.
- 1:49:18Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody's gonna feed the kiddy.
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: She quiet tonight.
- 1:49:23Speaker 4: Yes, she's feeling much better. She hasn't peaked once today.
- 1:49:27Speaker 4: That's good. That's good. Hell are you so?
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: Underhill died in May of nineteen fifty four, but the
- 1:49:38Speaker 1: drama starts about three years after, in June of sixty seven,
- 1:49:43Speaker 1: when Ramparts magazine runs this article about Underhill, and this
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: is a little snippet from it. Day after assassination, Gary
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: Underhill left Washington in a hurry. Late in the evening.
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: He showed up at friends in New Jersey, very agitated,
- 1:49:59Speaker 1: said small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination.
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: He confided, and was afraid for his life and would
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: have to leave the country. I said that he had
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: been an intelligence agent during World War Two, was a
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: recognized authority on limited warfare and small arms, a researcher
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: and writer on military affairs. He was on Oh, I
- 1:50:21Speaker 1: already read that the verdict. Did I read that too?
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: It's all a blur. Yeah, I think I did read
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: most of this. So it started off with an article
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: in Ramparts June is sixty seven, and three months later,
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: in October sixty seven, Garrison picks up his story and
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: talks about it to his interview with Playboy magazine. And
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: by the way, I got a lot of this, Rob
- 1:50:55Speaker 1: and a lot of you might roll your eyes. Fred
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: Litwin wrote a good article on Underhill that that includes
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: a lot of the documents I'm going to be showing.
- 1:51:06Speaker 1: I mean, I'm showing both sides.
- 1:51:07Speaker 4: But yeah, great guy, guy he does.
- 1:51:13Speaker 1: He picked up a lot of correspondents from Underhill's friends
- 1:51:20Speaker 1: that I'm gonna get into shortly. In the days and
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: months after this, they wrote House of Representatives, congress Men,
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: and there was this whole you know, inquiry that went
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: into it. And then of course, as we know, rob
- 1:51:37Speaker 1: SA gets word of this, and what do they do.
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: They send emails to each other and be like, what's
- 1:51:42Speaker 1: up with this? Did we employ this guy? Because they
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: don't really.
- 1:51:44Speaker 4: Know yeahs At and Tam, we don't know anything about this.
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll see that.
- 1:51:53Speaker 4: But somebody said what.
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: Yeah, so actually I'm going to kind of skip this. Uh, actually,
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: do you lend credence to the charges of a former
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: CIA agent, Jay Garrett Underhill, that there was a conspiracy
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: within the CIA to assassinate Kennedy? Garrison. I've become familiar
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: with the case of Gary Underhill, and I've been able
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: to ascertain that he was not the type of man
- 1:52:20Speaker 1: to make wild or unsubstantiated charges. Underhill was an intelligence
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: agent in World War Two and expert of military affairs
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: blah blah blah. He wasn't a full time CIA agent,
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: but he occasionally performed special assignments for the agency. Several
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: days after the president's assassination, Underhill appeared at the home
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: of friends in New Jersey, apparently badly shaken, and charged
- 1:52:42Speaker 1: that Kennedy was killed by a small group within CIA.
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: Do you believe Underhill was murdered to silence him. Garrison says,
- 1:52:51Speaker 1: I don't believe it, and I don't disbelieve it. Isn't
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: that a prosecutor's answer.
- 1:52:59Speaker 4: There very Garrison this answer. Yeah.
- 1:53:02Speaker 1: All I know is that Garrison continues that witnesses with
- 1:53:05Speaker 1: vital evidence in this case are certainly bad insurance risks
- 1:53:10Speaker 1: in the absence of further and much more conclusive evidence
- 1:53:13Speaker 1: to the contrary. However, we must assume that the plotters
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: were acting on their own rather than on CIA orders
- 1:53:21Speaker 1: when they killed the president. As far as we have
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: been able to determine, they were not in the pay
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: of the CIA at the time of the assassination, and
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: this is one of the reasons the president was murdered.
- 1:53:33Speaker 1: I'll explain later.
- 1:53:34Speaker 4: What I mean by that.
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: But the CIA could not face up to the American
- 1:53:38Speaker 1: people and admit that its former employees had conspired to
- 1:53:42Speaker 1: assassinate the president. So from the moment Kennedy's heart stopped beating,
- 1:53:48Speaker 1: the agency attempted to sweep the whole conspiracy under the rug.
- 1:53:52Speaker 1: The CIS had spared neither time nor the tax Beyer's money,
- 1:53:56Speaker 1: and its efforts to hide the truth about the assassination
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: from the US people. And you know, that's a little
- 1:54:03Speaker 1: snippet from his famous, very famous interview with Playboy magazine
- 1:54:11Speaker 1: that kind of blew everything up. And this, also from
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: Litwind's article, is a screenshot of his death certificate. So
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: he went back to d C right after he was
- 1:54:23Speaker 1: up north and about six months later a gunshot wound
- 1:54:28Speaker 1: to the head and brain and describe how injury occurred,
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: shot self in head with automatic epistol. Pretty straightforward there.
- 1:54:43Speaker 4: So.
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: But I didn't know this, but Larry Hancock had written
- 1:54:51Speaker 1: a couple paragraphs about him in his book. Someone would
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: have talked in a chapter called the Loose Ends, which
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: is very interesting. Let me see where I'm here, would
- 1:55:09Speaker 1: have talked, Yes, a small click within the CIA. This
- 1:55:15Speaker 1: paragraph starts when Gary Underhill arrived at his friends Robert
- 1:55:18Speaker 1: and Charlene fitzsimmons home in New York City. I tend
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: to believe Larry was New York City, not New Jersey,
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: but it doesn't really matter. It was late, he was
- 1:55:28Speaker 1: excited and scared the couple, the Fitzsimmonses were preparing for
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: a trip to Europe, and Robert was al ready to sleep.
- 1:55:36Speaker 1: Underhill spoke with Charlene at length while she continued packing
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: for the trip. Underhill was concerned because he had become
- 1:55:43Speaker 1: aware of small clique. We read that these individuals had
- 1:55:46Speaker 1: far Eastern connections. Arctics were mentioned, and supposedly the clique
- 1:55:51Speaker 1: was manipulating political intrigues to serve their own ends. Underhill
- 1:55:56Speaker 1: believed that these individuals had been involved with JFK's He
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: felt that JFK become aware of their dealings and was
- 1:56:04Speaker 1: about to move against them in some fashion. He also
- 1:56:08Speaker 1: believed the members of the clique knew that Underhill was
- 1:56:11Speaker 1: aware of their dealings and that his own life could
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: well be in jeopardy. Underhill fled Washington if You're for
- 1:56:17Speaker 1: his life, avoiding his normal haunts at the Harvard Club Inc.
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: At the time Fitzgibbons's the Fitzsimmonses were totally baffled by
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: Underhill's remarks. Later, they related Underhill's remarks to certain other
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: close friends, and in nineteen sixty six, when concerns about
- 1:56:40Speaker 1: possible Kennedy conspiracy began to be elevated due to the
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: Garrison investigation, one of these friends began his own inquiry
- 1:56:47Speaker 1: and recontacted them At that point, Robert Fitzsimmons remarked that
- 1:56:54Speaker 1: the reason they had really not taken Underhill seriously was
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: that they couldn't believe this. He I could do it,
- 1:57:01Speaker 1: uh right, right right, And then he goes talks about
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: how his initial remarks were or story debuted in Ramparts
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: magazine and then later in Garrison and later a follow
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: up and Ramports Magazine. Although not addressed by the FBI
- 1:57:18Speaker 1: investigation or the War Report, Underhill's remarks did come to
- 1:57:22Speaker 1: some attention of the HCA, and some attempt was made
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: to determine his possible source of information, given Underhill's interest
- 1:57:30Speaker 1: in tracking arms shipments. One name strongly considered by HSCA
- 1:57:35Speaker 1: investigators with that was that of Mitch Warbel, an individual
- 1:57:41Speaker 1: reportedly involved with both arm sales and Cuban affairs and
- 1:57:47Speaker 1: silencers yes and silence Yeah, good point he might have
- 1:57:52Speaker 1: gotten from his silencer from Warbel himself. What did Underhill
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: know is the next pair of title. Underhill's friends had
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: the impression that he offered no direct knowledge of the
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: conspiracy against John Kennedy. He had not heard any specific
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: chatter or rumor or names. They had felt that his
- 1:58:13Speaker 1: reaction was a response to the initial media coverage of
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: the assassination, plus his own special insights into the activities
- 1:58:21Speaker 1: of the clique, which he described. Their initial skepticism had
- 1:58:26Speaker 1: a good deal to do with their unwillingness to accept
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: that this could really happen. Unfortunately, we have no detailed
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: information on Underhill's own researches into nineteen sixty three. However,
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: we do know that one of his errors of study
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: and expertise was international arms shipments. His friends relate that
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: he was constantly tracking shipments of arms and contraband, and
- 1:58:50Speaker 1: clearly he was connected to many of the major sources
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: and agents of such arm shipments, inter Amco only being
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: one example. We also know that he was interested in
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: Cuban military issues in nineteen sixty three, specifically the issue
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: of Russian missiles in Cuba. Where this interest had led
- 1:59:13Speaker 1: him and whom he may have contacted. We have no
- 1:59:16Speaker 1: idea the other clues we do have, or that Underhill
- 1:59:20Speaker 1: felt that the clique had far Eastern connections, and there
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: were suggestions drugs may have been involved with some of
- 1:59:27Speaker 1: the gun running. Probably definance bringing up that sort of
- 1:59:31Speaker 1: scenario in nineteen sixty three would have certainly sounded quote
- 1:59:35Speaker 1: wild and preposterous, as preposterous as the fact that a
- 1:59:38Speaker 1: clique might have been able to manipulate certain political intrigues
- 1:59:42Speaker 1: for their own interest. We can't present any conclusive proof
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: that Underhill's clique actually had any direct connection to the
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: assassination of the president. Underhill only guessed that based on
- 1:59:55Speaker 1: his knowledge of its agendas and capabilities. Unfortunately, his friends
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: were not prepared to solicit or record any details or
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: names from Underhill. Still, given his expertise, connections, and interests
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: as of nineteen sixty three, it's quite probably that he
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: had become aware of a group of CIA officers who
- 2:00:15Speaker 1: were either involved in or provided support for the murder
- 2:00:19Speaker 1: of the president. So that's fimilire Hancock. He doesn't just
- 2:00:27Speaker 1: pick up any bullshit and run with it. This is true,
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: So you know, it kind of brings up the question
- 2:00:36Speaker 1: was was he killed because something related to JFK, because
- 2:00:41Speaker 1: it was something related to gun running or Cuba or
- 2:00:45Speaker 1: something completely unrelated where he was banging his neighbor's wife
- 2:00:49Speaker 1: like the pitch of Meyer.
- 2:00:53Speaker 4: I don't know, yeah, but normally, you know, God, it's
- 2:00:56Speaker 4: never had any issues in the past, doesn't go running
- 2:00:59Speaker 4: the day after the assass Nason to his friends frantic,
- 2:01:03Speaker 4: so frantic that they won't let him stay there, like, well,
- 2:01:07Speaker 4: that's his damn mind.
- 2:01:11Speaker 1: We're gonna get into this rock because we're the Fitzgimmons'.
- 2:01:14Speaker 1: Fitzsimmons is that good of friends to him, and and
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: we're going to figure this out now. So there were
- 2:01:25Speaker 1: some friends of his, so of course he died in
- 2:01:27Speaker 1: May of nineteen sixty four. Some of his friends started
- 2:01:31Speaker 1: inquiring about his death, and like I mentioned before, they
- 2:01:37Speaker 1: ended up writing congressmen and it ended up resulting in
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: a CIA inquiry internal inquiry. But this is one of
- 2:01:47Speaker 1: his friends, John Donovan. Actually wait, oh no, no, I'm sorry.
- 2:01:54Speaker 1: This is to his friend John Donovan from another friend
- 2:01:58Speaker 1: of his, Paul Ogal Dear mister Donovan.
- 2:02:04Speaker 4: Yes, sir, said Paul. From Paul Blow.
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: Missus, dear mister Donovan, missus Underhill. Gary's wife has asked
- 2:02:17Speaker 1: me to write you regarding your correspondence inquiring about Gary Underhill.
- 2:02:21Speaker 1: She has done so because I was an old friend
- 2:02:23Speaker 1: of Gary's and was in touch with him much more
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: frequently than she was since their separation.
- 2:02:32Speaker 4: So he was.
- 2:02:33Speaker 1: Separated from his wife for I think a little more
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: than a year, So got to keep that in context.
- 2:02:41Speaker 4: Here interesting letterhead there too, this written one.
- 2:02:46Speaker 1: Yes, I'm going to get into that too, Falcon Aeronautics.
- 2:02:50Speaker 1: Remember remember that fuck missus. Underhill has asked me to
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: write you regarding your correspondence anchering about Gary Underhill. Oh,
- 2:03:01Speaker 1: I am quite sure that his comments regarding President Kennedy's
- 2:03:04Speaker 1: assassination were hallucinatory. He had never mentioned that these fears,
- 2:03:10Speaker 1: these fears to me, although I had seen him off
- 2:03:13Speaker 1: and on last winter. But they are similar to those
- 2:03:17Speaker 1: flights of his imagination which he had during the last
- 2:03:21Speaker 1: year or so of his life. Gary had been for
- 2:03:25Speaker 1: a short time under psychiatric treatment about a year and
- 2:03:29Speaker 1: a half ago. He unfortunately did not carry on with
- 2:03:33Speaker 1: it and deteriorated to quite an extent. Unfortunately, those of
- 2:03:37Speaker 1: us who had known Gary for many years were not
- 2:03:40Speaker 1: able to help him nor persuade him to seek medical assistance. Okay,
- 2:03:47Speaker 1: so this is from a friend of Underhill's talking corresponding
- 2:03:52Speaker 1: with his wife a month after his death. So again,
- 2:03:56Speaker 1: take take it for what it is, decide it for yourself.
- 2:04:02Speaker 1: So then, of course, a couple months later, CI gets
- 2:04:05Speaker 1: word of this from the initially from the Garrison investigation.
- 2:04:11Speaker 1: It started right, Garrison had this is I think it
- 2:04:15Speaker 1: was a do J. This is a DOJ CI document.
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: But they're asking the DJ all these questions like was
- 2:04:22Speaker 1: this guy was guy Banister? CIA? Was one of the
- 2:04:25Speaker 1: questions I saw, right, And the CI's answer was no,
- 2:04:29Speaker 1: one word no. So this is what the Garrison investigation
- 2:04:34Speaker 1: asked about Underhill. Who is the Jay Garrett Underhill referred
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: to in Garrison's Playboy interview. I'm sorry, CI asking itself
- 2:04:44Speaker 1: as a former sea agent. Underhill was born blah blah blah,
- 2:04:48Speaker 1: nineteen fifteen, Brooklyn, graduating from Harvard. Who I think pinchel
- 2:04:53Speaker 1: Meyer did too, right, Oh, she was in the Harvard circles.
- 2:05:00Speaker 4: He was in an all girls' school. Okay, I'm sorry.
- 2:05:05Speaker 1: He was in frequent contact with the New York office
- 2:05:08Speaker 1: of the Domestic Contact Service of CIA from late forty
- 2:05:12Speaker 1: nine to fifties. Contact was routine. Mister Underhill was not
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: a CI employee. And then this is another This is
- 2:05:24Speaker 1: the Documentar's referring to earlier, the internal document of the
- 2:05:27Speaker 1: CIA asking about the Underhill allegation, and these this is
- 2:05:37Speaker 1: the OS indices results subject Underhill was approved for contact
- 2:05:43Speaker 1: use with caution on November two, nineteen forty nine, to
- 2:05:48Speaker 1: be used on a limited basis, not to receive classified
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: information above confidential because insufficient information was available regarding the subject.
- 2:05:59Speaker 1: It was known that he had served in the US
- 2:06:00Speaker 1: Army from forty three to forty six and employee as
- 2:06:04Speaker 1: a journalist for Life Magazine as a researcher on military
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: items from thirty eight to forty two. While in the Army,
- 2:06:12Speaker 1: he received accommodation for superior work in military intelligence, citing
- 2:06:17Speaker 1: his wide knowledge and independent research in the field of
- 2:06:21Speaker 1: foreign arms, uniforms and insignia. However, it was noted in
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: a report that when he worked for Life Magazine, he
- 2:06:29Speaker 1: was described as a professionalist, hard to get along with,
- 2:06:32Speaker 1: and his employment was terminated with Life because the lack
- 2:06:35Speaker 1: of need for a military expert at the time. In
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: a memorandum dated June sixty seven, Domestic Contact Services Office
- 2:06:48Speaker 1: commenting on their use of Underhill, they reported it was
- 2:06:53Speaker 1: routine relationship established with a subject for the purpose of
- 2:06:58Speaker 1: collecting foreign positive intelligence. On or about May fifty May
- 2:07:05Speaker 1: nineteen fifty, Underhill furnished information about blah blah blah blah blah,
- 2:07:10Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff that doesn't matter. He came up
- 2:07:15Speaker 1: in a nineteen fifty seven agency name check UH concerning
- 2:07:20Speaker 1: his suicide. A copy of the SRS memorandum dated twenty
- 2:07:24Speaker 1: seven September sixty seven is attached. It was deturbin there
- 2:07:27Speaker 1: had been no foul play connected with Underhill's death, and
- 2:07:31Speaker 1: that he had committed suicide. So again, take it for
- 2:07:35Speaker 1: what you will as an internal document, right, and let's see. Okay,
- 2:07:49Speaker 1: I'm just gonna read the last thing since the first
- 2:07:50Speaker 1: two paragraphs are kind of redundant. This is another instance
- 2:07:54Speaker 1: of Ramparts using the alleged statements of mentally unbalanced individuals
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: to bolster their case of CIA's suppose involvement in the assassination.
- 2:08:07Speaker 4: It's one of those nasty conspiracy theory folks.
- 2:08:12Speaker 1: That's what they say. Again, you know, take take it
- 2:08:16Speaker 1: for what it's worth. But as we know how documents work, right,
- 2:08:22Speaker 1: Like a story comes out, someone says an email in
- 2:08:26Speaker 1: the CIA, what's going on with this? Someone in the
- 2:08:29Speaker 1: CIA who has access to what's actually going on, response
- 2:08:32Speaker 1: to what's going on, and you could believe it or not.
- 2:08:36Speaker 4: How it works, right, It depends on the severity of things. No,
- 2:08:42Speaker 4: it's either just no or hell no. We looked at
- 2:08:47Speaker 4: this person possibly but said.
- 2:08:48Speaker 1: No, we might have used them as a contact for
- 2:08:53Speaker 1: possible foreign intelligence fifteen years ago.
- 2:08:58Speaker 4: Right.
- 2:09:00Speaker 1: Uh, And of course we know that the dates of
- 2:09:03Speaker 1: those are almost certainly not accurate. But to your question earlier,
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: they CIA also did an internal investigation into the Falcon
- 2:09:13Speaker 1: Aeronautics Incorporated and os indices results negative on subject firm,
- 2:09:21Speaker 1: negative on Paul Ogle, the guy who wrote that letter.
- 2:09:25Speaker 4: So and this is the oh, William Turner LEDs that
- 2:09:29Speaker 4: Falcon Aeronautics was an ad hoc CIA front.
- 2:09:34Speaker 1: Right, right, So so they are addressing that internally, right,
- 2:09:40Speaker 1: and like someone's asking about it and then someone's responding
- 2:09:44Speaker 1: Office of Security saying negative negative. Right. That's this is
- 2:09:49Speaker 1: like kind of the the timeline of the.
- 2:09:52Speaker 4: Article negative be tied back to the CIA, right.
- 2:09:56Speaker 1: The first of his ramparts. Then Garrison came out with
- 2:09:59Speaker 1: unplayable and that's what started this whole back and forth
- 2:10:04Speaker 1: of documents here, right. So I did find something very
- 2:10:10Speaker 1: interesting in regards to Gary Schooner in a letter to
- 2:10:14Speaker 1: Vince Palomara. I'm sorry, Penn Jones, I'm sorry all these.
- 2:10:21Speaker 4: Say, I don't think Paramount Palomara was alive back then.
- 2:10:24Speaker 1: I know I messed that one up, bad Penn Jones.
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: They all look the same to me, sound the same
- 2:10:29Speaker 1: to me. November twenty six, sixty eight. So this is,
- 2:10:33Speaker 1: you know, not long after these documents.
- 2:10:36Speaker 4: We just read, are Vince Solandria.
- 2:10:44Speaker 1: It might have been Vincent. Yeah, I might have had
- 2:10:47Speaker 1: it right the first time.
- 2:10:49Speaker 4: No, there's a difference between Vince Landria and Vince Palomara.
- 2:10:52Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got those.
- 2:10:55Speaker 4: I think it's Vince Silandria because he was Philadelphia guys,
- 2:10:58Speaker 4: same as original.
- 2:11:01Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I got my Vince's confused.
- 2:11:04Speaker 4: Thank you, dear.
- 2:11:11Speaker 1: Good to hear from you, Schauner says, glad to hear
- 2:11:13Speaker 1: you're going down to see Jim. Of course, Garrison. My
- 2:11:16Speaker 1: major contribution to the case thus far is needling, needling
- 2:11:21Speaker 1: you to get as active as you were before.
- 2:11:25Speaker 4: H a false mystery.
- 2:11:28Speaker 1: He goes through this whole long letter of all these
- 2:11:31Speaker 1: things he has issues with. He goes on like the
- 2:11:34Speaker 1: whole Noguel thing and this and that. You know, I
- 2:11:38Speaker 1: don't believe Miguel because this I believe this guy. I
- 2:11:41Speaker 1: believe Abraham Bolden because of this. You know those type
- 2:11:45Speaker 1: of things, right, uh, and this is his little thing
- 2:11:49Speaker 1: on the Underhill story, SHAWNA writes, the Underhill story, according
- 2:11:53Speaker 1: to the copy of Rampart's file, is probably untrue and
- 2:11:58Speaker 1: at the very least unproven. Ramparts memos by the guy
- 2:12:01Speaker 1: who did the interviews concluded there was no reason to
- 2:12:04Speaker 1: believe that Underhill was crazy at the time, and that
- 2:12:07Speaker 1: there was no evidence that he was either CIA or military.
- 2:12:11Speaker 1: This quote close friend to whom he allegedly told his
- 2:12:14Speaker 1: story was not even known by his wife or a
- 2:12:16Speaker 1: friend of his. That's the person he visited. But of
- 2:12:20Speaker 1: course they were separated at the time, him and his wife,
- 2:12:23Speaker 1: so his wife saying he didn't know him doesn't necessarily
- 2:12:26Speaker 1: mean anything. Again, we see the pattern of evidence in
- 2:12:34Speaker 1: which either and which can either help a lot or
- 2:12:37Speaker 1: hurt a lot, sensational stuff which Jim and everyone else
- 2:12:41Speaker 1: uses assuming that it is true, but which is at
- 2:12:45Speaker 1: best unsubstantiated. There is no need for such stuff or
- 2:12:49Speaker 1: even speculation about it, unless it is true. All the
- 2:12:54Speaker 1: stuff is extra. It doesn't fill in holes in Jim's case,
- 2:12:58Speaker 1: but rather needlessly elaborates it in a way which causes
- 2:13:03Speaker 1: an enormous credibility gap. Things like this leave Garrison open
- 2:13:10Speaker 1: to destruction by the news media. Anyone seriously studying his
- 2:13:18Speaker 1: claims and their attacks in such an instance would be
- 2:13:23Speaker 1: I can't read that word justify, justify. So here Shaner
- 2:13:28Speaker 1: saying that Garrison needs to focus on things more to
- 2:13:34Speaker 1: the point I think is the gist of that. So
- 2:13:39Speaker 1: at the end of the day, listen, this dude was
- 2:13:41Speaker 1: military intelligence. He was definitely working with CIA and CIA
- 2:13:48Speaker 1: cutouts to traffic arms. Like Larry Hancock said, he would
- 2:13:52Speaker 1: have had a good idea of the type of people
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: who could have pulled this rogue operation off. And I'm
- 2:14:02Speaker 1: gonna agree with him. I think his initial thoughts twenty
- 2:14:06Speaker 1: four hours after that some roll click probably did it.
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: I would agree with that, working theory wise, But you know,
- 2:14:17Speaker 1: did he have any specifics on the operation. That's a
- 2:14:21Speaker 1: stretch to me. And was he killed six months later
- 2:14:27Speaker 1: after threatening to blow the whistle the day after? I'm
- 2:14:34Speaker 1: not there yet, but I don't know.
- 2:14:38Speaker 4: Real quick Joe, Happy birthday, Sally, Oh, happy.
- 2:14:46Speaker 1: Birthday, Sally. Why didn't you tell us earlier? I know
- 2:14:51Speaker 1: we saved the best for last.
- 2:14:52Speaker 4: Huh. Yeah, they throw that in there.
- 2:14:55Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, Happy thirtieth birthday, so.
- 2:15:00Speaker 4: Have me twenty ninth again.
- 2:15:04Speaker 1: Yes, when uh, when estimating women's ages, you always have
- 2:15:08Speaker 1: to go like younger, you know, just to be on
- 2:15:11Speaker 1: the safe side. Any man. I'm not saying Sally looks old.
- 2:15:15Speaker 1: She looks very good.
- 2:15:19Speaker 4: And uh I love Sally your boy, uh Connor three weeks?
- 2:15:27Speaker 1: Yes, yes, her her boy.
- 2:15:29Speaker 4: Uh it's always that purchased yet.
- 2:15:33Speaker 1: Connor McGregor, it's not the way it's in the mail
- 2:15:36Speaker 1: checks in the mill. Connor McGregor is getting some uh
- 2:15:41Speaker 1: some media recently. I saw in the past day he's
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: trying to run for president of Ireland and Sally if
- 2:15:49Speaker 1: he runs, will you vote for him?
- 2:15:51Speaker 4: What is on the com.
- 2:15:54Speaker 1: I know the answer to that question, but I'm gonna ask.
- 2:15:56Speaker 4: You, and yes, we should probably say. Joe mentioned in
- 2:16:00Speaker 4: the comments earlier that the RFK files were released today. Yes,
- 2:16:05Speaker 4: like ten thousand pages. So yeah, I don't know what's
- 2:16:11Speaker 4: gonna There's not enough time in the day, bro, there's
- 2:16:16Speaker 4: barely enough time for this, and all of them, never
- 2:16:20Speaker 4: before released, are scanned online. Yeah, you could see him
- 2:16:25Speaker 4: if he actually went to the archives and looked like
- 2:16:27Speaker 4: look looked but you could have had access to them
- 2:16:30Speaker 4: before possibly, you know, I don't know some of it right, right.
- 2:16:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I just hope they focus on one thing at
- 2:16:41Speaker 1: a time because they still have twenty four hundred FBI
- 2:16:43Speaker 1: documents to scan in that Luna said they didn't have
- 2:16:49Speaker 1: enough archivists to digitize.
- 2:16:51Speaker 4: So stop being so broad, say said he's a knob Joe,
- 2:16:55Speaker 4: no chance you'd vote for economic Gregor.
- 2:16:58Speaker 1: I had that feeling.
- 2:17:01Speaker 4: That would be a complete another ship show if he
- 2:17:04Speaker 4: actually became President of Ireland. Yeah.
- 2:17:09Speaker 1: News, I would enjoy that for the entertainment value. But
- 2:17:15Speaker 1: because I know Sally is there, I'll leave her vote
- 2:17:18Speaker 1: up to her.
- 2:17:19Speaker 4: But yeah, man long Trump Trump likes the UFC.
- 2:17:24Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he was in the He was in the
- 2:17:27Speaker 1: office a couple of weeks ago, so it would be
- 2:17:33Speaker 1: funny for sure. But yeah, I just wanted to kind
- 2:17:37Speaker 1: of touch on the Underhill thing because it's been such
- 2:17:40Speaker 1: a big story in the news and I didn't really
- 2:17:43Speaker 1: know what to think of it, And you know, I
- 2:17:46Speaker 1: think my recent comments kind of let you know where
- 2:17:48Speaker 1: I kind of land on it right now. But like
- 2:17:52Speaker 1: so many things, in this case, it's not cut and dry, right,
- 2:17:55Speaker 1: It's percentage confidence he definitely knew something, that's for sure,
- 2:18:05Speaker 1: or he.
- 2:18:06Speaker 4: Thought he knew something, or he was just really depressed
- 2:18:08Speaker 4: that his marriage was over and lost his mind.
- 2:18:12Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I mean how many times in the
- 2:18:14Speaker 1: case Rob, have we seen situations like this of people
- 2:18:19Speaker 1: who have been quote mentally disturbed?
- 2:18:21Speaker 4: And is this a way to label for them? They're
- 2:18:25Speaker 4: all they're they're an alcoholic, They're they're mentally the right, right, right,
- 2:18:30Speaker 4: it's Ralph Yates, look at uh, Richard Case, Miguel Yes,
- 2:18:35Speaker 4: Jack Martin, Jack Martin.
- 2:18:38Speaker 1: Yeah. The only thing that seems yeah, the only thing
- 2:18:43Speaker 1: that seems interesting to me here is you have these
- 2:18:46Speaker 1: friends of his and all their correspondents like a month
- 2:18:50Speaker 1: or two after his death kind of saying that, right.
- 2:18:55Speaker 4: Uh.
- 2:18:55Speaker 1: And again I don't know, it's I don't know if
- 2:19:00Speaker 1: these guys were spooks too. I really have no idea.
- 2:19:03Speaker 4: So that's and it matches the old mo o of
- 2:19:08Speaker 4: the company, you know, so that it does add to
- 2:19:14Speaker 4: the conspiracy web of all this ship you know. Yeah.
- 2:19:20Speaker 1: Yeah, But still interesting that the media picks up on
- 2:19:23Speaker 1: this story out of all stories, right, That's that's what's
- 2:19:28Speaker 1: interesting to me, Like, why is it just because it's
- 2:19:31Speaker 1: easy to explain to someone who's looking at it. Like
- 2:19:34Speaker 1: for two minutes.
- 2:19:38Speaker 4: He was, yeah, that's just dead, right, right skill document released.
- 2:19:44Speaker 1: Yes, yes, but of course you know, the redactions weren't
- 2:19:48Speaker 1: even relating to him. They were relating to Armco. You know, yeah,
- 2:19:55Speaker 1: so and and how much money they are making. And
- 2:19:57Speaker 1: see I wanted to keep the profits from this, you know.
- 2:20:00Speaker 1: So again, like everything echoes much deeper than what is
- 2:20:05Speaker 1: on the reference.
- 2:20:07Speaker 4: Which is interesting too because and John crow So sold
- 2:20:10Speaker 4: their guns to Client Sporting Goods. Oswald allegedly ordered his
- 2:20:16Speaker 4: right from Clin Sporting Goods. We know Jerry Patrick Hemming
- 2:20:23Speaker 4: put an application to work at Client Sporting Goods in Chicago,
- 2:20:31Speaker 4: so who knows, man, you know. Yeah, we're down the
- 2:20:35Speaker 4: rabbit hole, Joe.
- 2:20:36Speaker 1: Yeah, we like to do that.
- 2:20:39Speaker 4: So I'm just ruby to bring us a rope to
- 2:20:44Speaker 4: pull us up, Lassie style.
- 2:20:47Speaker 1: She's sleeping, ah but uh yeah uh. Deep politics by
- 2:20:59Speaker 1: Peter Dale Scott is uh covers the Underhill thing as well.
- 2:21:04Speaker 1: I believe I think Hancock mentioned that. But yeah, I'll
- 2:21:10Speaker 1: just catch up with some comments. And yeah, Tim or
- 2:21:13Speaker 1: Days you could be a covert operator. Again, we have
- 2:21:16Speaker 1: missed you a ten or days, so that can become
- 2:21:22Speaker 1: one too.
- 2:21:24Speaker 4: I M. We appreciate the wi yeah, but yeah man,
- 2:21:29Speaker 4: that's uh.
- 2:21:30Speaker 1: I thought I thought that was pretty fun.
- 2:21:33Speaker 4: And uh.
- 2:21:36Speaker 1: I will turn on the Ruby cam when you give
- 2:21:39Speaker 1: the word.
- 2:21:41Speaker 4: All right, folks, that's it for us this week. It's
- 2:21:44Speaker 4: been another bang as usual, as per the usual. I
