- 2:01Speaker 2: Jim Garrison, The Great Accuser, Oliver Stone's film Flam, The
- 2:05Speaker 2: Demagogue of Daily Plaza, and his newest A Heritage of
- 2:10Speaker 2: Nonsense Jim Garrison Tales of Mystery and Imagination. So welcome
- 2:16Speaker 2: for the fourth time back to the show, Fred Litwin.
- 2:18Speaker 3: How you doing, buddy, great, It's great to hear, and
- 2:20Speaker 3: thank you for having me. This should be a lot
- 2:22Speaker 3: of fun.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, it's great to have you back. And I
- 2:25Speaker 2: gotta say, first off the bat, I got to ask
- 2:30Speaker 2: you about your Steve Rowe episode. For those of you
- 2:33Speaker 2: who don't know, Fred does a podcast on YouTube as well.
- 2:36Speaker 2: The links in the description if you want to check
- 2:37Speaker 2: it out. But there was some fancy filming going on
- 2:42Speaker 2: there in that episode. Fred, Are you behind that or
- 2:46Speaker 2: is Steve like a secret multi millionaire that can hire
- 2:49Speaker 2: like professional film crews and drones.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Well, I can answer to that. I'm very fortunate that that.
- 2:57Speaker 3: My editor, Matt Cordels, who does all my editing for
- 3:02Speaker 3: my podcast, lives in San Antonio where Steve is. Oh,
- 3:08Speaker 3: so he was sort of that's the one. He was
- 3:10Speaker 3: in charge of that podcast, and so he was able
- 3:13Speaker 3: to do things that he otherwise would not do for
- 3:16Speaker 3: my other podcasts.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, man, this is fancy. Check this out.
- 3:20Speaker 2: I mean it looks it looks great, I mean fantastic.
- 3:23Speaker 2: So hats off to Matthew for that for sure. But
- 3:28Speaker 2: let's get what we're here for. You're gonna be speaking
- 3:29Speaker 2: at Lancer this year as well. Ye about I believe
- 3:34Speaker 2: Richard case Neguel and probably a couple other things as well.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Your new book is, of course, not just centered on
- 3:42Speaker 2: one thing. There's many different tales of mystery and imagination
- 3:46Speaker 2: when it comes to Jim Garrison and his investigation. So
- 3:52Speaker 2: what spurned this fourth book, Fred for you? A heritage
- 3:55Speaker 2: of nonsense which I like to play on, you know,
- 3:58Speaker 2: heritage of Stone.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Of course. Well, when I was writing my first book
- 4:03Speaker 3: on Jim Garrison, on the Trail of Delusion, I realized
- 4:07Speaker 3: I wanted to tell not just the story of Clay Shaw,
- 4:11Speaker 3: but I wanted to tell some of the other Garrison stories.
- 4:13Speaker 3: And I picked six stories in that book, very very
- 4:17Speaker 3: important stories that related to people who were indicted, like
- 4:21Speaker 3: Carrie Thornley, or people who are central to his investigation,
- 4:25Speaker 3: like some of the anti Castroc Cubans. So I picked
- 4:28Speaker 3: six stories, but I have a many, many more stories,
- 4:33Speaker 3: and so I decided, well, you know, it's time for
- 4:35Speaker 3: a new book of some of these other stories about
- 4:39Speaker 3: Jim Garrison that are still quite interesting, maybe not central
- 4:42Speaker 3: to his investigation, but still concern him in some way,
- 4:47Speaker 3: and that I've done significant amount of work on. So
- 4:51Speaker 3: I picked nine stories for this book.
- 4:54Speaker 2: He's the gift that keeps on giving, you know, I mean,
- 4:56Speaker 2: when it comes to you know, there are certain conspiracy
- 5:01Speaker 2: believers out there who think Jim Garrison walks on water,
- 5:04Speaker 2: can do no wrong. And you know who these people are,
- 5:07Speaker 2: of course, you know. And then and then there's the
- 5:11Speaker 2: reasonable conspiracy theorists who realized.
- 5:13Speaker 1: That that.
- 5:16Speaker 2: You know, he was. He may be he was definitely
- 5:19Speaker 2: on the wrong direction when it came to Clay Shaw,
- 5:22Speaker 2: that's for sure. And but I think, you know, in
- 5:29Speaker 2: my heart of hearts, I'm glad he did what he
- 5:32Speaker 2: did because it gives us so much more information to
- 5:36Speaker 2: look through and leads to chase and things like this.
- 5:39Speaker 2: And are we going down the right path? I don't know,
- 5:42Speaker 2: But New Orleans at that time is full of these
- 5:46Speaker 2: colorful characters with these wild stories that are all seemingly interconnected.
- 5:54Speaker 2: But when it you know, when it comes down to
- 5:56Speaker 2: the Garrison investigation and the case against clay Shaw in particular,
- 6:02Speaker 2: which I don't think was his original target. And I
- 6:06Speaker 2: don't know what your opinion is on that. I mean,
- 6:08Speaker 2: I think he was going after Ferry, and then when
- 6:10Speaker 2: he died, I think he he basically went to the
- 6:14Speaker 2: next best thing.
- 6:16Speaker 3: What do you think, friend, Well, certainly David Ferry was
- 6:20Speaker 3: one of one of his initial targets. I would I
- 6:24Speaker 3: have to say that, you know, David Ferry was a
- 6:27Speaker 3: really good guy and incredibly misunderstood. He was the sort
- 6:31Speaker 3: of person who if you had a flat tire at
- 6:34Speaker 3: a restaurant, he would go and change it for you.
- 6:37Speaker 3: He was a really intelligent man who spoke multiple languages,
- 6:40Speaker 3: played the piano flu very very well educated, and he
- 6:46Speaker 3: had nothing to do with any of it. I mean nothing.
- 6:49Speaker 3: And he was actually a very very good person.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if I call him a good person, Fredd.
- 6:53Speaker 2: He did have some black marks against him there.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Well, you know, I have to say on the homosexuality
- 7:01Speaker 3: side that you know, the age of consent here in
- 7:06Speaker 3: Canada is sixteen, and he would. He had sixteen year olds,
- 7:12Speaker 3: by the way, who were always coming back to him.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Their parents might not have been happy, but when they
- 7:18Speaker 3: ran away from home, where did they go to? They
- 7:20Speaker 3: went to David Ferry's house because he took them to
- 7:23Speaker 3: church on Sundays. He taught them to play piano, he
- 7:26Speaker 3: taught them to fly, He taught them also they loved him.
- 7:29Speaker 3: And I spoke to Alba buff a couple of years ago,
- 7:32Speaker 3: who went on the Texas trip and still loves still
- 7:37Speaker 3: speaks very highly of them.
- 7:40Speaker 2: And that's didn't is that who Faery left everything to?
- 7:44Speaker 1: Was? Was?
- 7:44Speaker 5: Was that?
- 7:45Speaker 1: Ye?
- 7:45Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay?
- 7:48Speaker 1: So Fred, what are your and officially high? I know
- 7:53Speaker 1: we talked a couple of minutes after, but it's nice
- 7:55Speaker 1: to meet you. I will be at Lancer too, so
- 7:57Speaker 1: looking forward to meeting you. So so what do you
- 8:01Speaker 1: just to follow up on your point on your statement there,
- 8:04Speaker 1: what do you think about the Fairy Eastern Airlines situation?
- 8:10Speaker 3: Well, you know, Faerry was a pipolo who unfortunately, you know,
- 8:14Speaker 3: took a teenage boy into the cockpit and got fired.
- 8:18Speaker 3: And he had of course a couple of run ins
- 8:20Speaker 3: with the law and got fired. It's kind of unfortunate,
- 8:23Speaker 3: and that threw him into poverty after that, which was
- 8:28Speaker 3: made his life really really horrible. But what can I say?
- 8:31Speaker 3: I think if David Ferry was alive today, none of
- 8:35Speaker 3: this would have been controversial.
- 8:38Speaker 2: He did, and didn't he have Guy Banister come speak
- 8:41Speaker 2: on his behalf as he.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Hired He hired Guy Banister to help him with the
- 8:45Speaker 3: investigation in Eastern Airlines and Banister testified on his behalf
- 8:50Speaker 3: during the hearings that they held.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I doubt he would have did that
- 8:56Speaker 2: if he had any ill feelings towards David Ferry being
- 9:01Speaker 2: you know, given his past, you know, with the FBI,
- 9:04Speaker 2: and you know the type of type of guy that
- 9:06Speaker 2: Banister seemingly was. I know, there's of course a lot
- 9:10Speaker 2: of you know, misgivings about banisters so called involvement and
- 9:17Speaker 2: what was going on in New Orleans. What we just
- 9:20Speaker 2: had Janet banister On, who is a great niece of
- 9:24Speaker 2: of Guy Banister on a couple of weeks ago, and
- 9:28Speaker 2: she kind of leans, you know, more towards the low
- 9:31Speaker 2: nut side of things. And we knew that going in,
- 9:34Speaker 2: but you know, we still wanted to talk to her,
- 9:37Speaker 2: but given who she is and what you know, she
- 9:39Speaker 2: could learn from her family and everything. And she she's
- 9:44Speaker 2: not real sure about, of course Banisher's involvement in the
- 9:50Speaker 2: in the assassination as to the extent of it, as
- 9:55Speaker 2: far as what was going on in New Orleans. And
- 9:57Speaker 2: we've been stuck in New Orleans here, it feels like
- 10:00Speaker 2: for two months, Joe talking about things going on in
- 10:03Speaker 2: New Orleans. Looking more into Banister stuff. What do you
- 10:05Speaker 2: think about Guy Banister?
- 10:07Speaker 3: If you look at Guy Banister in nineteen sixty three,
- 10:10Speaker 3: here was a man who was a drunk who couldn't
- 10:13Speaker 3: pay his rent. I mean he for like eight or
- 10:16Speaker 3: nine months he couldn't pay his rent. He was thrown
- 10:19Speaker 3: out of out of Lafayette Street. Everything was possessed by
- 10:23Speaker 3: Sam Newman. I mean, here's this great you know, Cia
- 10:26Speaker 3: Masterwind who can't pay his rent. I mean, he was
- 10:29Speaker 3: a drunk who was violent. This was a nobody and
- 10:34Speaker 3: dare I say, you know this whole five forty four
- 10:37Speaker 3: Camp Street is completely crazy because his his entrance had
- 10:42Speaker 3: nothing to do with five forty four Camp Street. They
- 10:44Speaker 3: were not exactly that that. You know, that's a fake
- 10:47Speaker 3: that's a fake one.
- 10:50Speaker 2: This is a professionally made fake.
- 10:52Speaker 3: Yeah, and so you know, I think it was interesting
- 10:56Speaker 3: when you go through the Garrison's files. There's a nice
- 10:58Speaker 3: little one page in his files where he lists out
- 11:02Speaker 3: all the employees of Guide Manister. It's like thirty employees.
- 11:07Speaker 3: The secretary is the tempts private investigators, like thirty people.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Garrison talked to every single one of those people. You
- 11:14Speaker 3: could read all their reports. Nobody saw Oswald. Not one
- 11:19Speaker 3: person saw Oswald.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Well, I think Delphine says she saw Oswald.
- 11:26Speaker 3: She only said that after she was paid by by
- 11:28Speaker 3: Anthony Summers. And of course if you look at her
- 11:31Speaker 3: statements for the HSCA, they thought they put no credibility
- 11:35Speaker 3: in what she said.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean people like David Lewis says he
- 11:40Speaker 2: saw Oswald.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Who could who could pay attention to David Lewis. I mean,
- 11:45Speaker 3: that's that's a comical character who saw first off, his
- 11:48Speaker 3: first statement about seeing Oswald was in nineteen sixty two
- 11:52Speaker 3: when he was in the Soviet I mean, David Lewis
- 11:55Speaker 3: is the funniest of all the characters.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Anna. She was the witness that Judy Baker tried to
- 12:03Speaker 2: bring forward and she was saying, I don't know any
- 12:05Speaker 2: of that, but yeah, but I mean there were there
- 12:09Speaker 2: were some employees that guy Banster who said they saw Oswald.
- 12:12Speaker 3: Who give me one.
- 12:15Speaker 2: David Lewis.
- 12:17Speaker 3: David Lewis were first off, David Lewis doesn't count. He
- 12:19Speaker 3: has no credibility if you look at his statements. I mean,
- 12:22Speaker 3: nobody believes David Lewis, tom not even not even Garrison.
- 12:26Speaker 3: They gave him a polygraph test he failed and that
- 12:30Speaker 3: was the end of him as a witness for Garrison.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Oh, I know there, you know you can you can
- 12:34Speaker 2: dig into a lot of these guys and just just
- 12:37Speaker 2: disregard what they say based on one thing or another,
- 12:40Speaker 2: you know. But I mean, there were a couple of
- 12:43Speaker 2: people said they saw oswalden around Banisher's office, and and
- 12:47Speaker 2: not just employees, I understand, just employees, but there were
- 12:50Speaker 2: others named them.
- 12:52Speaker 3: I'm all ears.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Well, Joseph Foster absolutely not.
- 12:59Speaker 3: You you go look at his statements. So I posted
- 13:02Speaker 3: all his statements on the web. He didn't see Oswald.
- 13:06Speaker 2: He said he saw Oswald talking to Banister.
- 13:09Speaker 3: No, you're talking about William Godey.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Well he did too.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Yeah, but he saw Oswald talking to Bastard outside, but.
- 13:17Speaker 2: But not as ostro or Newborough.
- 13:21Speaker 3: No, Nobrooke, Newbrough did not see Oswald either.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Huh.
- 13:26Speaker 3: But every one of these statements on my on my website.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Well I'm gonna have to bring him again then, yeah, I'll.
- 13:32Speaker 3: Be I'll send you all. This is this is where
- 13:34Speaker 3: I do think that people need to have a rethink
- 13:38Speaker 3: of this part of the investigation. And this is where
- 13:40Speaker 3: I think Garrison actually came up with nothing. And and
- 13:45Speaker 3: the banister thing was he thought that was a big
- 13:47Speaker 3: lead because there was a supposed connection of five point
- 13:50Speaker 3: forty four cam Street, which there wasn't, and he come
- 13:54Speaker 3: he came up empty.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Well let's let's go back to that for a second,
- 13:58Speaker 2: because I could have swore and of course I don't
- 14:01Speaker 2: save anything Fred when I when I talk about it.
- 14:04Speaker 2: But I remember last time that we did talk, you know,
- 14:08Speaker 2: you had mentioned that you know that there was no
- 14:11Speaker 2: original handbills with this address stamped on it from the time, yep,
- 14:17Speaker 2: that this is basically a movie prop right yep. And
- 14:24Speaker 2: I could have sworn I've seen things, oh you know,
- 14:26Speaker 2: throughout looking through old contemporaneous Garrison files that mentioned that
- 14:32Speaker 2: five forty four Camp Street was stamped on some of
- 14:35Speaker 2: these leaflets.
- 14:36Speaker 3: It was stamped on a few correlless Lamont pamphlets, three
- 14:41Speaker 3: or four correlless Lamont pamphlets he stamped FPCC five forty
- 14:46Speaker 3: four Camp Street. But no the handbills that he gave out.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Can you explain what that is Fred for the audience?
- 14:52Speaker 3: Well, basically, the fair Play for Cuba Committee produced a
- 14:56Speaker 3: pamphlet by corlss Lamont to cold I think the crimes
- 14:59Speaker 3: again Cuba or whatever. And Oswald ordered uh twenty or
- 15:05Speaker 3: thirty of these or two orders of these, and on
- 15:08Speaker 3: a few of them he stamped them. He stamped them
- 15:10Speaker 3: five forty four Camp Street. But the handbills that he
- 15:14Speaker 3: gave them in the streets were either stamped with his
- 15:17Speaker 3: home address or his post office box.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Right now, Joe, pop up that thing from Bill Simpicch
- 15:24Speaker 2: Sure where he used to think that when Carlos Kurroga
- 15:31Speaker 2: delivered those handbills or when colors Kuga went to Oswald's
- 15:35Speaker 2: house on Magazine Street, that he was that he delivered
- 15:40Speaker 2: handbills with the address five forty four Camp Street. The
- 15:43Speaker 2: Oswald and says that Missus Garner, who was his landlady
- 15:49Speaker 2: supports that.
- 15:52Speaker 3: That this guy, you can say whatever you want. And
- 15:55Speaker 3: my challenge stands to anybody show me one of those handbills.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Well, I rob just did. I'm just kidding, But you know,
- 16:05Speaker 1: there are very few researchers in the community where I
- 16:09Speaker 1: will accept a statement without looking into it completely. One
- 16:17Speaker 1: of those is definitely Bill Simpach. And here he says
- 16:20Speaker 1: Oswalt on the August sixteenth, so this is a little
- 16:23Speaker 1: less than a week after the fracas. I believe the
- 16:27Speaker 1: court was on the twelfth. He went out to leaflet
- 16:31Speaker 1: on the sixteenth, and that's when the w that's where
- 16:34Speaker 1: we have the footage we've seen right where the WDSU
- 16:37Speaker 1: where he's outside of the trademark handing out leaflets.
- 16:41Speaker 2: And the next day is.
- 16:43Speaker 1: When he's interviewed for the Latin listening post. But there's
- 16:49Speaker 1: you know, he states that camp Street was on that
- 16:52Speaker 1: and Carlos Kiroga was sent by Brigner after the fracas
- 16:58Speaker 1: to kind of play double a and try to figure
- 17:02Speaker 1: out what Oswald.
- 17:03Speaker 3: Was up to. So yes, and so I mean Carlos
- 17:07Speaker 3: Karuga picked up a few of the handbills and brought
- 17:09Speaker 3: them to Oswald. And that gaven the address he knew
- 17:12Speaker 3: where to go where you get someone forty four gam Street.
- 17:16Speaker 3: And by the way, five forty four Camp Street is
- 17:19Speaker 3: not connected to Banister's office.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Right, it's in the same building, but it's.
- 17:24Speaker 3: In the same building, but they're not connected if you
- 17:25Speaker 3: go to if you went to five forty four Camp
- 17:27Speaker 3: Street in the summer of nineteen sixty three, you'd only
- 17:30Speaker 3: find some union offices.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Right. Well before that was a Sergio Kasha Smith.
- 17:38Speaker 3: In sixty one you will find and he was only
- 17:41Speaker 3: there for four or five months until he got thrown
- 17:43Speaker 3: out because he couldn't pay his rent either.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting, Fred. I came across the document a little
- 17:50Speaker 2: bit ago, and I believe it's it was a document
- 17:54Speaker 2: done up by the New Orleans PD when they were
- 17:56Speaker 2: called to Banisters House to respond to his death. And
- 18:06Speaker 2: he had well it was two hundred and eighty dollars
- 18:09Speaker 2: in his in his front pocket, which in today's money, Fred,
- 18:15Speaker 2: you know, that's almost three grand I mean, that's that's
- 18:19Speaker 2: a lot of money back then. But you know, this
- 18:21Speaker 2: guy can't pay his rent. We don't know what was
- 18:24Speaker 2: in his wallet, but that was in you know, the
- 18:26Speaker 2: front pocket. Walk around money type thing. I just thought
- 18:29Speaker 2: it was interesting that he had all these money problems,
- 18:31Speaker 2: but he's got almost the equivalent of three grand in
- 18:34Speaker 2: his pocket.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Yeah, And and Fred, I want to just go back
- 18:38Speaker 1: to and push back, respectively on something you said earlier
- 18:41Speaker 1: when you said, uh, banister was kind of a nobody.
- 18:44Speaker 1: And I don't know if you meant in nineteen sixty
- 18:46Speaker 1: three and sixty three. In sixty by the time that we're.
- 18:50Speaker 3: Talking about, he was a drunk, violent, he beat somebody
- 18:53Speaker 3: up on the bus, He was violent, he couldn't pay
- 18:55Speaker 3: his rent. I mean, this was this is a this
- 18:57Speaker 3: is a nobody.
- 18:59Speaker 2: And the Channe she said that he possibly probably had
- 19:04Speaker 2: a stroke at some point in his life to cause
- 19:08Speaker 2: that kind of behavior, because he didn't used to be
- 19:12Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, you know, but at some point she
- 19:15Speaker 2: thinks or their family thinks that he had a stroke
- 19:18Speaker 2: which led to this odd behavior, excessive drinking, which of
- 19:24Speaker 2: course combined that with you know, his lifestyle and you know,
- 19:30Speaker 2: equals short life, you know. But yeah, I just thought
- 19:33Speaker 2: it was interested. And he had all that money in
- 19:34Speaker 2: his pocket, and he all these employees. I don't know
- 19:36Speaker 2: if he was paying them. Ah, you know, who knows?
- 19:41Speaker 1: Working on commission or maybe, but I think Janet when
- 19:46Speaker 1: we talked to her, John Banister said that she had
- 19:51Speaker 1: found some correspondence between Banister and Hoover up until, like
- 19:55Speaker 1: I could be wrong by a couple of months, up
- 19:57Speaker 1: to two months before his death. So you know, there's
- 20:01Speaker 1: this everyone kind of thinks that like once he left
- 20:06Speaker 1: the FBI, they didn't talk again, but they were actually
- 20:09Speaker 1: in community, you know, still corresponding, and Banister was was
- 20:13Speaker 1: hired to lead the anti corruption effort in the NPD.
- 20:19Speaker 3: After I believe it was late fifties, mid fifties something
- 20:24Speaker 3: like that. So I just want to clarify what you
- 20:27Speaker 3: what you meant, and I just want to I don't
- 20:30Speaker 3: I don't find him that interesting as a character. I mean,
- 20:32Speaker 3: it's interesting character, but I don't I find him that
- 20:34Speaker 3: he has nothing to do with the assassination.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just that damn Jack Martin down there, Stern.
- 20:41Speaker 3: There's another character who could believe Jack Martin. And by
- 20:45Speaker 3: the way, when when Jack Martin was spouting off in
- 20:48Speaker 3: nineteen sixty three to anybody who would listen to him,
- 20:51Speaker 3: he didn't say he saw Oswald the Banisher's office. He
- 20:55Speaker 3: said everything else.
- 20:59Speaker 2: True and we came across a document. Actually it was
- 21:01Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago where he was interviewed by
- 21:04Speaker 2: the Secret Service before the FBI interviewed him. And this
- 21:08Speaker 2: is right after the assassination, within a couple of days.
- 21:11Speaker 2: I think it was November twenty six was the date
- 21:13Speaker 2: on it where he said he he had made everything
- 21:16Speaker 2: up about David Ferry. He said he pulled it out
- 21:20Speaker 2: of thin air, He pulled a Dean Andrews to the
- 21:22Speaker 2: Secret Service, and you know, for him, but that was
- 21:27Speaker 2: that was the only time I've ever seen him admit
- 21:29Speaker 2: that he that he lied about what he told him
- 21:33Speaker 2: about David Ferry. But what's weird is, you know, while
- 21:39Speaker 2: he did say what he said, the one thing he
- 21:42Speaker 2: did tell him was that he saw a picture in
- 21:45Speaker 2: Faerri's apartment with Oswald, which nobody saw until it was
- 21:49Speaker 2: the early nineties, late eighties when it that that capture.
- 21:53Speaker 3: And that picture and that picture which was found by
- 21:55Speaker 3: you know, Gus Russo and the frontline people. Yeah, that
- 21:59Speaker 3: picture had been solating for a long time. People in
- 22:01Speaker 3: New Orleans or a lot of people, Gus will tell
- 22:04Speaker 3: you the story. A lot of people knew about the picture,
- 22:06Speaker 3: even when Garrison was investigating, they did not want to
- 22:08Speaker 3: tell him about the picture. A lot of people were
- 22:10Speaker 3: scared Garrison, but that picture was Yeah, but the picture
- 22:17Speaker 3: means nothing.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's kind of proof that they knew
- 22:23Speaker 2: each other.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Well, they knew each other in nineteen fifty five. But
- 22:26Speaker 3: even David Ferry told told the FBI when he saw
- 22:30Speaker 3: Oswald's pictures, he sort of looks familiar. And then after
- 22:35Speaker 3: that night Edward Voebel called Ferry on the phone to say,
- 22:39Speaker 3: you know, you were with Oswald in cap And so
- 22:43Speaker 3: what does Faerry do? He calls the FBI to say,
- 22:46Speaker 3: you know what I was with Ferry, I was with
- 22:49Speaker 3: Oswald in cap Now, how often do you have a
- 22:51Speaker 3: suspect calling the FBI to tell him that kind of information? True? True,
- 23:00Speaker 3: This is why I laugh at all this stuff, because really,
- 23:02Speaker 3: when you really seriously look at all this stuff, there's
- 23:05Speaker 3: just nothing there.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Well, let's let's touch on a couple of things that
- 23:10Speaker 2: you have in your new book, Fred, and of course
- 23:17Speaker 2: I'm with you. One on Richard Richard case Miguel, because
- 23:24Speaker 2: despite having a book, this stick you know about the guy,
- 23:29Speaker 2: there is absolute zero proof of anything this guy has
- 23:33Speaker 2: ever said, and of course back then he was Garrison's
- 23:37Speaker 2: mister X Right. Yep, we're interviewing him and and and
- 23:42Speaker 2: the Looney Ben and Jail talk a little bit about
- 23:47Speaker 2: Richard Case Miguel and the type of person that he was.
- 23:53Speaker 2: I mean, we we've we've talked about him on the
- 23:55Speaker 2: show before. We've talked about you know, his his accidents,
- 23:59Speaker 2: his his his wounds, his mental condition. Why and I
- 24:06Speaker 2: don't understand why people put so much weight to things
- 24:10Speaker 2: that he said.
- 24:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I call Richard Case Miguel the man who needed help.
- 24:14Speaker 3: And it's actually quite a sad story, and I feel
- 24:17Speaker 3: for for Neguel. He was a decorated Korean War veteran
- 24:23Speaker 3: who led over one hundred and seventy five missions in
- 24:27Speaker 3: Korea successfully. He was a terrific soldier, leader of men,
- 24:33Speaker 3: very intelligent, and was destined for greatness in the military
- 24:40Speaker 3: and going into military intelligence after his for being in
- 24:44Speaker 3: the infantry. But unfortunately, he was in a plane crash
- 24:47Speaker 3: in nineteen fifty four, very serious. He was the sole
- 24:50Speaker 3: survivor of a plane crash and he suffered brain damage.
- 24:55Speaker 3: He was in a coma for a month and he
- 24:56Speaker 3: was in the hospital for six months. Broke his jaw
- 25:00Speaker 3: two places, severe lacerations and and a concussion along with
- 25:07Speaker 3: with some brain damage near the brain stem. And he
- 25:11Speaker 3: was never the same after that. It's very very sad,
- 25:14Speaker 3: smart man.
- 25:16Speaker 2: And then I think a little bit after he got
- 25:19Speaker 2: out of that of the military, he was working for
- 25:22Speaker 2: like the state liquor authority or something and they was shot.
- 25:27Speaker 2: He was shot doing that.
- 25:28Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a self inflicted wound. He was working
- 25:32Speaker 3: for the Alcohol Beverage Control Board in California.
- 25:36Speaker 2: He shot himself.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was self inflicted. And ultimately, I'm sorry,
- 25:45Speaker 3: where did he shoot himself? Oh somewhere somewhere in his
- 25:49Speaker 3: y I'm not sure exactly where, but he he wasn't
- 25:53Speaker 3: down that job, and so that that job left and
- 25:59Speaker 3: he was feeling suicidal, and that's when he went into
- 26:01Speaker 3: the bank in El Paso and shot it up, well
- 26:05Speaker 3: while trying to. I don't know if you call it,
- 26:07Speaker 3: wouldn't call it a robbery. I think it was a
- 26:09Speaker 3: cry for help.
- 26:11Speaker 2: Yeah, because when he went into the bank and shot
- 26:13Speaker 2: in the ceiling and then walked back out of the
- 26:15Speaker 2: bank and just kind of sat there and.
- 26:17Speaker 3: Wad into his car. He tried to get away in
- 26:19Speaker 3: his car.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Oh, he did try to get away, but he was
- 26:21Speaker 2: but I mean, he only.
- 26:22Speaker 3: He asked for only one hundred dollars in travelers checks
- 26:25Speaker 3: and then said, I have a gun. It's not a
- 26:27Speaker 3: lot of money, it's not a huge hold up. But
- 26:31Speaker 3: he said he told to sell meate that he had
- 26:35Speaker 3: tried suicide a couple of times on his way to Alpasso,
- 26:38Speaker 3: and he figured the best way to do it would
- 26:40Speaker 3: be to go to a place where he might get
- 26:42Speaker 3: shot by a policeman, and the bank was was his choice.
- 26:47Speaker 2: What about all the hullabaloo about what was in his trunk?
- 26:53Speaker 3: And this is what I find really interesting was that
- 26:55Speaker 3: if you look at the if you go to archive
- 26:57Speaker 3: dot org, you can actually get the police reports for
- 27:01Speaker 3: his arrest, like twenty pages of police reports with a
- 27:04Speaker 3: complete inventory of everything that was found in his trunk.
- 27:08Speaker 3: There's also an FBI report with a complete inventory of
- 27:11Speaker 3: everything found in his trunk. And there was nothing there
- 27:13Speaker 3: to Lincoln with Oswald, just absolutely.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Nothing found with Oswald's name on it or anything like that.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Nothing, I mean, and funny, I mean, Dick Russell in
- 27:26Speaker 3: his book thinks that he has a smoking gun, and
- 27:29Speaker 3: the smoking gun was that was that Bernard Finsterwald in
- 27:33Speaker 3: nineteen seventy five found in the Neguel file in his
- 27:37Speaker 3: office in Washington, a you know, a fake Oswald I
- 27:41Speaker 3: D card And so they he wrote, well he must
- 27:46Speaker 3: have found obviously that was on Miguel's possession in El Paso.
- 27:50Speaker 3: But it was a xerox of a card found in
- 27:53Speaker 3: his file in nineteen seventy five. I mean, where's your
- 27:56Speaker 3: chain of custody on that.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little suspected best at that point for sure.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Yeah. And the real for the funniest part of Russell's book,
- 28:07Speaker 3: the first book, the first edition, was he published page
- 28:11Speaker 3: two or page three of a military intelligence report on
- 28:15Speaker 3: Miguel as proof that he was employed by the CIA.
- 28:20Speaker 3: But if you read that one page, it appears like
- 28:22Speaker 3: it's maybe they're interviewing Miguel. And of course when you
- 28:26Speaker 3: find the whole document, the whole document is from a
- 28:30Speaker 3: Berlin interview of Miguel, and it's all him talking about
- 28:33Speaker 3: being part of the CIA. It was completely bogus.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Well, of course he was. It's Noguele hi deell. They're
- 28:41Speaker 2: so similar for it. Yeah, yeah, code names.
- 28:45Speaker 3: But it's a sad story. And I really feel for Miguel.
- 28:48Speaker 3: He actually ended up suing the American government for disability
- 28:52Speaker 3: going back to the date of his of the brain injury,
- 28:56Speaker 3: and he actually won that suit, but it took him
- 28:59Speaker 3: several years to get that and he got some back
- 29:01Speaker 3: pay from that. His son said, he spent at allans
- 29:04Speaker 3: and was traveling and ridiculous hotels.
- 29:08Speaker 1: But it's it's a very sad story. And Fred, do
- 29:12Speaker 1: you mean the brain injury from the plane crash. Yeah,
- 29:15Speaker 1: and it was a military flight, you mean, yeah, it was.
- 29:18Speaker 3: It was a he was he was on his way
- 29:20Speaker 3: from California to uh to Washington, and it was a
- 29:23Speaker 3: beat and he was the sole survivor and he was
- 29:26Speaker 3: in the wreckage for twelve hours until they got to
- 29:29Speaker 3: him and they had to perform at trichaotomy in the
- 29:32Speaker 3: field to get him to breathe. And and that was,
- 29:35Speaker 3: by the way, his second concussion. You know, he suffered
- 29:38Speaker 3: a concussion in Korea while serving for serving there as well.
- 29:43Speaker 2: He was very lucky to have survived all of all
- 29:46Speaker 2: the injuries of his life to you know, to get
- 29:49Speaker 2: to live until was it the mid nineties, I think
- 29:51Speaker 2: he made it so.
- 29:52Speaker 3: So, yeah, he was very lucky. In fact, I post
- 29:55Speaker 3: I have on on my it's not in my book,
- 29:58Speaker 3: but h an article for from the Maryland Papers a
- 30:01Speaker 3: couple of days after his plane crash where they say
- 30:03Speaker 3: he's got a fifty to fifty chance of living.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they don't make him like they used to,
- 30:09Speaker 2: that's for sure. These guys are tough back then. Well.
- 30:14Speaker 1: And and last thing before we move on from Miguel
- 30:16Speaker 1: h how did he or did he not end up
- 30:20Speaker 1: in Japan with Oswald at the Queen Bee as we've
- 30:25Speaker 1: as we've.
- 30:26Speaker 3: Heard, he wasn't. He wasn't with Oswald in Japan. In fact,
- 30:29Speaker 3: there's a very little overlap, but he was. Miguel was
- 30:32Speaker 3: in Japan and he was part of military intelligence. He
- 30:35Speaker 3: was also in Korea for military intelligence. He was advising
- 30:39Speaker 3: the Korean Army. But he was in Japan as well
- 30:42Speaker 3: for a short period of time. And and and that
- 30:45Speaker 3: was legitimate in in in an intelligence work. It all
- 30:49Speaker 3: came to an end for him when he decided to
- 30:52Speaker 3: marry a Japanese national. He was, in fact he's stunt
- 30:56Speaker 3: stuck her into his quarters in Japan, and see legal
- 31:00Speaker 3: to be in counterintelligence and have a foreign national in
- 31:04Speaker 3: your room and of course marriage was it was illegal,
- 31:07Speaker 3: illegal for that he had to retire from counterintelligence because
- 31:11Speaker 3: of his marriage.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Hmm.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Interesting, but there's not like direct evidence that they ever
- 31:18Speaker 1: cross paths.
- 31:19Speaker 2: No, sorry to have an issue with my camera there.
- 31:26Speaker 2: I don't know where it was pointing. Let's talk a
- 31:29Speaker 2: little bit about a Rose by any other name, because
- 31:34Speaker 2: when you talk about Rose sharing Me, you know, of
- 31:38Speaker 2: course it's the iconic opening of Oliver Stone's film JFK
- 31:42Speaker 2: where she gets tossed off on the highway and she
- 31:44Speaker 2: supposedly has you know, fore knowledge of the assassination, if
- 31:48Speaker 2: you will, and claims that these people on their way
- 31:51Speaker 2: to Dallas and they're gonna kill Kennedy. Now, you know,
- 31:54Speaker 2: I think everybody understands that, you know, Rose share Me
- 31:59Speaker 2: has some drug shoes in her life, made probably some
- 32:03Speaker 2: poor decision making, for sure. What else can you tell
- 32:07Speaker 2: us about her, Fred And why don't you believe her story?
- 32:13Speaker 3: Well, it's another interesting story and another person who needed help,
- 32:16Speaker 3: who really had a lot of trouble in her life
- 32:19Speaker 3: in out of mental institutions and crime and a variety
- 32:23Speaker 3: of of horrible stuff. So she had a really, really
- 32:26Speaker 3: tough life when it comes to the story that we
- 32:31Speaker 3: all know and love about Rose share Me. The simple
- 32:34Speaker 3: truth is that there's not one witness who heard her
- 32:38Speaker 3: say anything about the JFK assassination before it happened. Not one.
- 32:43Speaker 3: And what I find really striking was that we talked
- 32:46Speaker 3: about Francis Fruge, who was the policeman who sort of
- 32:50Speaker 3: took her to the hospital, et cetera, et cetera. Fruge
- 32:54Speaker 3: was in narcotics, and his interest in Rose share Me
- 33:00Speaker 3: after the assassination was in narcotics, and he had her
- 33:04Speaker 3: taken to Houston to work in narcotics deal. Now, had
- 33:09Speaker 3: he really believed that she had fore knowledge of the
- 33:11Speaker 3: JFK assassination, I would have thought that would have taken
- 33:14Speaker 3: precedence overtaken her to Houston for a narcotics deal.
- 33:19Speaker 2: Well, did she tell him that or did she tell
- 33:23Speaker 2: like the doctors at the hospital the story, Well.
- 33:30Speaker 3: She said something at the hospital, But the problem is
- 33:35Speaker 3: is that the doctors who were there not. Nobody is
- 33:37Speaker 3: coming forward to say that she said she had fore knowledge.
- 33:41Speaker 3: For instance, Victor Wise, who a lot of people quote,
- 33:46Speaker 3: is one of the doctors who said she had fore knowledge.
- 33:49Speaker 3: He denies it. He said, as I spoke to her,
- 33:53Speaker 3: but after the assassination, and he says, the person who
- 33:57Speaker 3: spoke to her before the assassination was doctor Don Bauer.
- 34:01Speaker 3: And if you speak to doctor Don Bowers, he said, no,
- 34:04Speaker 3: not me.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Huh.
- 34:06Speaker 3: And so you know there's no I mean, you have
- 34:09Speaker 3: to have at least some direct evidence of her saying this.
- 34:13Speaker 3: And when Fruge wrote his report for Jim Garrison, the
- 34:18Speaker 3: only statements that he reported in his report was that
- 34:20Speaker 3: she stripped at Ruby's club and that Oswald and Ruby
- 34:25Speaker 3: were bed partners. He said, everything else is hearsay.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Did she even strip it at the carousels?
- 34:33Speaker 3: No evidence that she stripped at Ruby's club? And she did,
- 34:36Speaker 3: she said it was the pink door. Well his club
- 34:39Speaker 3: wasn't the pink door. And so maybe you had were
- 34:44Speaker 3: bed partners and and so, but I think that she
- 34:46Speaker 3: she had a reason, and I think there was a
- 34:48Speaker 3: reason why she was doing this, and it's the and
- 34:51Speaker 3: she had done this before where she says, I have
- 34:54Speaker 3: knowledge about something, and she wanted something. She wanted to
- 34:56Speaker 3: go to the hospital and guess what they brought. They
- 34:59Speaker 3: flew her to Houston where she wanted to be. It
- 35:01Speaker 3: was perfect, perfect scheme by by Roe sharing me.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Yeah, because she said, uh, they flew her to Houston
- 35:10Speaker 1: to investigate the narcotics ring.
- 35:13Speaker 3: She was talking about, right, that's right, okay, and.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Uh, but but to uh just be objective. If he
- 35:21Speaker 1: did pick up someone like Roe share me on the
- 35:23Speaker 1: side of the road on it was November twentieth, and
- 35:27Speaker 1: she was saying something like Kennedy whatever, I was going
- 35:31Speaker 1: to be assassinated. You can't really blame Prouge for not
- 35:36Speaker 1: taking that seriously right away.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Also, well, no, of course not but but but he
- 35:41Speaker 3: but you know, he picks her up after the assassination.
- 35:44Speaker 3: Now if she really if he had heard her say something,
- 35:49Speaker 3: I would have ran. I would have ran to the FBI.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Oh my god, here's somebody who's for knowledge. But instead
- 35:55Speaker 3: he takes to Houston for a narcotics deal and and
- 35:58Speaker 3: he calls up his superiors. I got somebody who wants
- 36:00Speaker 3: to work in arctics deal.
- 36:04Speaker 2: And her version of the story gets bastard as over
- 36:06Speaker 2: the years.
- 36:07Speaker 3: I don't I don't buy it. I just don't buy it.
- 36:09Speaker 3: I mean, you know, he's a law officer, a law
- 36:12Speaker 3: officer who believes that he has an important witness in
- 36:15Speaker 3: the assassination saw it, and he supposedly in the story
- 36:19Speaker 3: that I asked her if she wanted to talk to
- 36:21Speaker 3: Will Fritz and she said no, Well come on, he
- 36:27Speaker 3: has word doledge and she tells you, now, okay, I'll
- 36:29Speaker 3: drop it.
- 36:30Speaker 2: I wouldn't talk to that guy either.
- 36:33Speaker 3: And the other thing I just think that you should
- 36:34Speaker 3: everybody should know is Francis Fruget's history, which I uncovered
- 36:40Speaker 3: in the papers of Patricia Lambert at the sixth floor.
- 36:43Speaker 3: He is a history of not being very honest. You know.
- 36:48Speaker 3: He worked with Anne Dishler, that was his partner in
- 36:50Speaker 3: the investigation of both Rose sharing Me and the Clinton witnesses.
- 36:54Speaker 3: And he can fight at Dan Dishler that in a
- 36:56Speaker 3: murder investigation he manufactured evidence to convict somebody.
- 37:02Speaker 2: Well, I think that was part for a lot of
- 37:04Speaker 2: the course back then.
- 37:06Speaker 3: And then that's not all. He embezzled money from her,
- 37:10Speaker 3: and you know, I mean there's there's issues here.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Yeah, these officers back then, you know, they didn't make
- 37:20Speaker 2: much money. It's not like it is today. I don't
- 37:21Speaker 2: think there was a sense of commitment you know that
- 37:25Speaker 2: you get from like police officers.
- 37:27Speaker 3: Now, well, you were both caught judging their expense reports
- 37:31Speaker 3: that they were caught.
- 37:33Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there always will be dirty cops. But that's interesting. Yeah. Well,
- 37:41Speaker 2: let's move on to one of my favorite characters, Fred
- 37:44Speaker 2: and this whole thing. And you might know who I'm
- 37:48Speaker 2: going to mention here, because you were kind enough to
- 37:50Speaker 2: put a picture of our little podcast in your book
- 37:52Speaker 2: and I would geek that for a minute when I
- 37:54Speaker 2: saw it. And I'm talking about Larry Crayford, The Battle
- 37:58Speaker 2: of Larry Crayford. What about Larry Crayford? Did you look into,
- 38:05Speaker 2: uh to kind of check out on him? I know,
- 38:08Speaker 2: you know, us conspiracy theories have alluded or supposed some
- 38:13Speaker 2: involvement in and some things like the tip and murder
- 38:19Speaker 2: or some you know, knowledge of what was going on.
- 38:22Speaker 2: I do believe that that Crayford was mistaken for Oswald
- 38:28Speaker 2: and a lot of these ruby Oswald's sightings pre assassination.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Fairly convinced of that. But what did you find out
- 38:36Speaker 2: when you looked at Larry.
- 38:38Speaker 3: Well, I thought it was interesting looking at reading his
- 38:41Speaker 3: testimony into the Warren Commission. I mean, in a certain sense,
- 38:45Speaker 3: I had to laugh when I was reading his testimony,
- 38:48Speaker 3: because here is a man who was a drifter. I mean,
- 38:52Speaker 3: what an incredible drifter. He could not hold down a
- 38:54Speaker 3: job for more than three or four days, and he
- 38:57Speaker 3: had so many jobs that he couldn't keep it straight
- 39:00Speaker 3: in his mind and the warrant commission and they had
- 39:03Speaker 3: trouble keeping it straight, and I had trouble. I mean
- 39:06Speaker 3: I was writing down, you know, each job, Okay, how
- 39:10Speaker 3: many days did you work there? Okay, and trying to okay, now,
- 39:13Speaker 3: this job in four days, and trying to get it
- 39:15Speaker 3: lined up into some sort of decent chronology, and it
- 39:18Speaker 3: just wouldn't work. I mean, I'm trying to line it
- 39:20Speaker 3: up to when he started working for Ruby, and there
- 39:23Speaker 3: was just too many jobs and too many days. And
- 39:26Speaker 3: I realized, you know, I don't know, maybe this job
- 39:28Speaker 3: wasn't six days, it was two days. We'll never really know.
- 39:32Speaker 3: But he couldn't hold down a job, and he was
- 39:34Speaker 3: a drifter. And I felt that when he left to
- 39:39Speaker 3: hitchhike back to visit his sister, it was completely in
- 39:42Speaker 3: character with who he was.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I definitely think that it was in
- 39:48Speaker 2: character with who he was. It was just really bad
- 39:50Speaker 2: timing on his part, you know, if that's when he
- 39:55Speaker 2: picked to get to get out of dodge, you.
- 39:57Speaker 3: Know what I mean, he had already told Ruby that
- 39:59Speaker 3: he wanted to leave. Yeah, And a lot of people
- 40:02Speaker 3: were leaving that weekend. I mean bre Breckwall for instance,
- 40:05Speaker 3: went to visit his parents in Galveston. There were a
- 40:08Speaker 3: number of strippers, all sorts of people. Even Ruby. I
- 40:11Speaker 3: wanted to go visit his sister and get her a
- 40:13Speaker 3: dodge and she she was ill from an operation. She said,
- 40:17Speaker 3: don't come. So there are a lot of people sort
- 40:19Speaker 3: of well, maybe it's not the best time to be
- 40:20Speaker 3: in Dallas.
- 40:23Speaker 2: True, true, But I know a lot of these early
- 40:27Speaker 2: early conspiracy theorists like Penn Jones and these and these types,
- 40:31Speaker 2: you know, we're really trying to put Larry Crayford on
- 40:34Speaker 2: the Grassy Knoll or in the stick floor of the
- 40:37Speaker 2: school book depository, or you know, anywhere else with a weapon.
- 40:43Speaker 2: You know, they've even alluded to his master sniper marksmanship,
- 40:47Speaker 2: or you know, like people like mort Saul got things
- 40:49Speaker 2: wrong and telling the public about Larry Crayford. And you know,
- 40:56Speaker 2: it's just always been odd to me these things. What
- 41:04Speaker 2: and I guess what what did in his interview with
- 41:09Speaker 2: Peter Whippey that he did like in the early two
- 41:12Speaker 2: thousands in the way I understood it when he talked
- 41:15Speaker 2: or during the HSCA that they did try to find Crayford,
- 41:19Speaker 2: but they couldn't find him because he was spelling his
- 41:22Speaker 2: name a little different, which that's the reason. I mean,
- 41:28Speaker 2: that's some piss poor investigation. But that's for another story.
- 41:32Speaker 2: But like I said later on, I believe John Mellon
- 41:36Speaker 2: tracked him down. Peter Whippey tracked him down, and he
- 41:40Speaker 2: told his story of him being a hit man in
- 41:47Speaker 2: San Francisco, you know, working for the mob and knocking
- 41:50Speaker 2: up the godfather's daughter and having to leave town. What
- 41:54Speaker 2: do you why do you dismiss that story if it
- 41:58Speaker 2: was corroborated by his brother.
- 42:00Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't really corroborated by his brother. I mean,
- 42:03Speaker 3: if you read what Whitney said, he said that his
- 42:06Speaker 3: brother appeared to corroborate it. I don't know what that means. Look,
- 42:11Speaker 3: you know, be a hit man. I mean he couldn't
- 42:15Speaker 3: hold out. He could barely hold down a job at
- 42:17Speaker 3: a carnival for four days. The mafia is going to
- 42:19Speaker 3: hire him to be a hit man. Well, I don't
- 42:22Speaker 3: believe that for a second.
- 42:24Speaker 2: Well he did pick some beautiful strawberries in his time.
- 42:28Speaker 3: So don't know where we get this idea that he
- 42:30Speaker 3: was a sharpshooter, like a sniper. Where does that come from?
- 42:35Speaker 2: Military for like a little over a year.
- 42:38Speaker 3: Yeah, he was tossed out of the military for some reason.
- 42:41Speaker 3: I don't know why he was taught to tossed out
- 42:44Speaker 3: of the reason. I don't It wasn't homosexuality, but there
- 42:47Speaker 3: was some you know something, there was something about him
- 42:49Speaker 3: that they didn't like.
- 42:50Speaker 1: Yeah, some behavior disorder. I was reading it earlier.
- 42:54Speaker 2: Yeah, he claimed that, you know, he was they were
- 42:57Speaker 2: sending him on secret missions to Asia and he'd you know,
- 43:00Speaker 2: in a year with the military, they're going to be
- 43:03Speaker 2: doing that. Just doesn't make sense at least that you know,
- 43:06Speaker 2: that part of his story and how he got his
- 43:09Speaker 2: wounded leg or whatever he was talking about, which he
- 43:14Speaker 2: claims happened, you know, in one of his clandestine black
- 43:17Speaker 2: op style missions when he was with the military. But
- 43:20Speaker 2: who knows. But yeah, he's been he's been one of
- 43:23Speaker 2: my favorites that you know, Uh, of course, you know,
- 43:26Speaker 2: you got to look into all these guys see what
- 43:28Speaker 2: shakes out. And I'm not saying he was involved or not.
- 43:30Speaker 2: It's just it's just one of those things. It's the
- 43:32Speaker 2: odd coincidence that you know. Do you do you think
- 43:35Speaker 2: that he was mistaken for Oswald?
- 43:37Speaker 3: With a lot of these he might have been mistaken
- 43:40Speaker 3: for Oswald at the club and and what I find
- 43:42Speaker 3: funny is that you have some conspiracy theorists who say
- 43:45Speaker 3: he was impersonating Oswald, But I do think he might
- 43:48Speaker 3: have been. He might have been mistaken for Oswald, as
- 43:52Speaker 3: I do in my uh when I talk about the
- 43:55Speaker 3: Clinton witnesses in Clinton, Louisiana, I think that that there
- 44:01Speaker 3: was a there was a uh somebody was working for
- 44:05Speaker 3: Core there who was same age as Oswald, who I
- 44:07Speaker 3: think may have looked like.
- 44:10Speaker 1: Yeah corps of course, of course the Congress of Racial
- 44:14Speaker 1: Equality right, and wasn't Frouge And I was always saying frouge,
- 44:19Speaker 1: So thank you for correcting me on that he was.
- 44:23Speaker 1: Wasn't he the cop that went up to the black
- 44:26Speaker 1: Cadillac and uh made the police report there?
- 44:31Speaker 3: Well, he wasn't. No, he wasn't. That wasn't him. But
- 44:33Speaker 3: he was with Anne Dischler on going to Clinton and
- 44:36Speaker 3: and doing some investigations. So they were they were for
- 44:39Speaker 3: Garrison they were partners for Garrison in investigating that, and
- 44:44Speaker 3: I think unfortunately, if you uh, you know, it's really unfortunate.
- 44:48Speaker 3: If you read Bruge's HSCA testimony, they blew it. The
- 44:53Speaker 3: HSCA blew it. If you read his testimony, Jonathan Blackmer
- 44:57Speaker 3: was the guy who was deposing him. Most of it
- 45:01Speaker 3: was on share me. They were like maybe six or
- 45:04Speaker 3: seven pages on Clinton, and so many questions that I
- 45:08Speaker 3: would have asked were not asked. I think the hsc
- 45:11Speaker 3: blew that investigation into both parts. Unfortunately, Yeah, I agree,
- 45:17Speaker 3: they could have done a whole lot. The HSCA didn't
- 45:20Speaker 3: even figure out that his partner in the investigation was
- 45:23Speaker 3: Anne Dishler.
- 45:28Speaker 2: And Fred. I think it was in the.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Chapter one, the Crayford chapter where you were talking about
- 45:36Speaker 1: Ruby and Crayford, and I think they picked him up
- 45:40Speaker 1: the morning of the twenty third, which would have been
- 45:42Speaker 1: Saturday morning, to get his camera to go photograph the
- 45:50Speaker 1: billboards of the.
- 45:53Speaker 2: Film The Blanks.
- 45:54Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, basically, you know, the whole Ruby story is
- 45:58Speaker 3: very interesting because Ruby, the large part of the Ruby
- 46:02Speaker 3: story is anti Semitism. Ruby was very very sensitive to
- 46:07Speaker 3: anti Semitism his whole life and he faced it in
- 46:09Speaker 3: the military, and of course going to a southern city,
- 46:13Speaker 3: he faced anti semitism there, and so he was finally
- 46:16Speaker 3: attuned to it. And the morning of November twenty second,
- 46:20Speaker 3: if you remember, there was that big full page ad
- 46:23Speaker 3: in the Dallas Morning News criticizing Kennedy's foreign policy, signed
- 46:27Speaker 3: by Bernard Weissman. And Ruby saw that ad with a
- 46:31Speaker 3: big black border and it was a Jewish name, and
- 46:35Speaker 3: that really bothered him. And there was a post office
- 46:38Speaker 3: box associated with that ad. And after the assassination he
- 46:43Speaker 3: started to wonder. He also saw the Impeachraal Warren signs
- 46:48Speaker 3: and he started to wonder, you know, are Jews going
- 46:51Speaker 3: to be blamed for the assassination because of this this
- 46:55Speaker 3: Bernard Weisman ad. And so he went to the post
- 46:57Speaker 3: office box to see if you could find out who
- 47:00Speaker 3: Bernard Weisman was. Of course, they weren't going to tell
- 47:03Speaker 3: him any information that was private. He did see there
- 47:06Speaker 3: was a lot of mail in the mailbox. But he
- 47:09Speaker 3: was really greatly exercised by the whole concept of andy Semitism.
- 47:14Speaker 1: Yeah, and to your point there, we had a guest
- 47:17Speaker 1: on a few months ago. Rob I think Danny finger
- 47:19Speaker 1: Off was it the guy who had written a new
- 47:22Speaker 1: book on Ruby, and he is alone, not as well
- 47:27Speaker 1: lone moser as you. But he talked a lot about
- 47:31Speaker 1: the anti Semitism thing. But what doesn't make sense to
- 47:34Speaker 1: me is if Ruby was that concerned with the image
- 47:42Speaker 1: of Jewish Americans Jewish people, why would he do this
- 47:46Speaker 1: impulsive act which would undoubtedly bring more heat on the
- 47:53Speaker 1: Jewish community that doesn't know.
- 47:55Speaker 3: That's a really good question, and I think, first off,
- 47:58Speaker 3: but it was an impulsive act, and that's why after
- 48:01Speaker 3: he did it and people asked him, why did you
- 48:03Speaker 3: do it, he came up with different answers. You know,
- 48:05Speaker 3: when you do something impulsively, there's no real answer. So
- 48:08Speaker 3: he came up with, I wanted to save Jackie from
- 48:10Speaker 3: attending a trial. He also said I wanted to show
- 48:13Speaker 3: that Jews have balls. All that was nonsense because it
- 48:16Speaker 3: was an impulsive act. All this backfired and Ruby, I
- 48:20Speaker 3: mean in a tremendous way because of him shooting Oswald.
- 48:25Speaker 3: That John Birches saw it. He basically went and said, well,
- 48:27Speaker 3: you know, this proves that Jews were involved in the
- 48:29Speaker 3: assassination because Ruby shot Oswald and Ruby saw this, and
- 48:35Speaker 3: he was horrified that perhaps Jews would now be blamed
- 48:38Speaker 3: for the assassination because of what he did, and that
- 48:42Speaker 3: went he went completely over the edge. And that's when
- 48:45Speaker 3: he started talking about his second Holocaust.
- 48:50Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, one guy I was surprised to see in
- 48:52Speaker 2: your book, Fred, it was Raymond Forshears. Yep, you know
- 49:00Speaker 2: he was. He tells the hell of a story and
- 49:05Speaker 2: claims to have been a roommate of David Fairies at
- 49:07Speaker 2: one point. Yep, And claims, of course that David Fairy
- 49:10Speaker 2: told him all the all of these crazy stories and
- 49:14Speaker 2: things and tell us why you don't believe old Raymond.
- 49:21Speaker 3: Well, Raymond was quite a character, and in fact he's
- 49:25Speaker 3: he is enshrined in the gay and lesbian archives in California.
- 49:29Speaker 3: As you know, he was a gay rights hero in
- 49:33Speaker 3: some ways. He fought for gay rights in in San Francisco,
- 49:37Speaker 3: so he has his place in history. Unfortunately, he decided
- 49:40Speaker 3: to immerse himself into the JFK assassination when he first
- 49:44Speaker 3: went on television to say that he had channeled Lee
- 49:46Speaker 3: Harvey Oswald at a seance and and and and then
- 49:53Speaker 3: you know he said he was a roommate of David
- 49:54Speaker 3: Ferry and that got him the Garrison people interested. They
- 49:58Speaker 3: took him to New Orleans, questioned twice in New Orleans.
- 50:02Speaker 3: He had a good time in New Orleans, running after
- 50:04Speaker 3: all the boys, and but they realized quickly that he
- 50:09Speaker 3: was just telling all these ridiculous stories. I mean he was.
- 50:12Speaker 3: He was saying that he had sex with Oswald, he
- 50:14Speaker 3: had sex with Kerry Thornley, that Kerry Thornley was the
- 50:17Speaker 3: person in the Oswald photograph. I mean, there's a million
- 50:21Speaker 3: things that he said that are just ridiculous. And the
- 50:24Speaker 3: Garrison people basically sent him packing back to California. But
- 50:29Speaker 3: it didn't end there, and unfortunately, he was actually was
- 50:32Speaker 3: called to testify before the House Selectmmittee on Assassinations and.
- 50:36Speaker 1: I have it.
- 50:36Speaker 3: It's I have it on YouTube. You can actually hear
- 50:38Speaker 3: Raymond Brochures on my YouTube channel testifying before the HSCA
- 50:44Speaker 3: saying more crazy things and in fact saying things that
- 50:48Speaker 3: were complete opposite of what he had told Garrison.
- 50:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like like almost like attention getting for him,
- 50:56Speaker 2: you know very much.
- 50:57Speaker 3: So I think he was really into into getting its.
- 51:00Speaker 3: Anything he would do to get attention, that was his
- 51:02Speaker 3: whole stick.
- 51:04Speaker 2: Now I was sent I was sent something by a
- 51:09Speaker 2: listener of ours. He's one of our superspies. Trey, and
- 51:14Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen the book that came
- 51:16Speaker 2: out last year Fred called Pipe the Bimbo and Red Yep.
- 51:20Speaker 2: I have it, okay, and you might be familiar with
- 51:25Speaker 2: what I was going to ask you about. There was
- 51:28Speaker 2: a passage in the book the kind of claims that
- 51:33Speaker 2: Garrison was a clauseted homosexual and was it I think
- 51:39Speaker 2: it was in nineteen seventy. I don't know if he
- 51:42Speaker 2: was formerly charged or it was alleged that he had
- 51:46Speaker 2: propositioned a twelve year old boy. And it turns out
- 51:50Speaker 2: in the book they talked to Dean Andrews's son and
- 51:53Speaker 2: he was the kid. At least he says he was
- 51:57Speaker 2: the kid.
- 51:57Speaker 3: That's not true, that that's not true. But first I
- 52:01Speaker 3: should tell you that that book is really really horrible.
- 52:06Speaker 3: I mean really if you look at there just one
- 52:09Speaker 3: example in that book, there's a section in there on
- 52:12Speaker 3: permitex CMC, which is one of my favorite topics because
- 52:15Speaker 3: I think I have the largest amount of primary documents
- 52:19Speaker 3: about permandex and they go to the Torbot They use
- 52:22Speaker 3: the Torbet document as their as their source for information
- 52:27Speaker 3: on permandex which is complete. I mean, I couldn't believe
- 52:31Speaker 3: it when I got the book. But let's go back
- 52:33Speaker 3: to what really happened with Garrison. And there was a
- 52:36Speaker 3: real case where this was at the New Orleans Athletic Club.
- 52:40Speaker 3: This was in nineteen sixty, I'm not sure the exact
- 52:44Speaker 3: year it was. Jack Anderson actually had a home about this.
- 52:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I got it on set.
- 52:49Speaker 3: Ran nationwide except in New Orleans. It was a thirteen
- 52:56Speaker 3: year old boy who Garrison fondled, and he was part
- 53:02Speaker 3: of a very prominent Catholic family and they were threatened,
- 53:07Speaker 3: and they also did not want publicity, and they decided
- 53:10Speaker 3: not to press charges. I have in my possession a
- 53:16Speaker 3: complete interview with that boy who was now a man
- 53:20Speaker 3: and his brother that I found in the papers of
- 53:23Speaker 3: Patricia Lambert that discussed this in quite graphic detail and
- 53:28Speaker 3: it happened.
- 53:31Speaker 2: Wow. So there's another myth debumped here on the show.
- 53:34Speaker 2: It was not Dean Andrews's son or Dean Andrews junior son.
- 53:38Speaker 3: I think I think in the book, in that book,
- 53:41Speaker 3: I think that they claim that Dean Andrews's son may
- 53:44Speaker 3: have also been another person who might have been fondled
- 53:47Speaker 3: or Garrison made a pass at him or something like that. Yeah,
- 53:51Speaker 3: even slightly different. And I don't know whether that's true
- 53:53Speaker 3: or not.
- 53:54Speaker 1: And when did these claims surface?
- 53:57Speaker 3: Fred The claim against Garrison was in nineteen I think
- 54:01Speaker 3: it was sixty eight or sixty nine. I'm not sure
- 54:04Speaker 3: the year. I have to go back and check it.
- 54:06Speaker 3: But Jack Anderson did a whole column on this that
- 54:09Speaker 3: ran nationwide about these allegations.
- 54:12Speaker 2: Yeah, and of course my.
- 54:16Speaker 1: Immediate hesitation with that is discrediting. And I don't know
- 54:22Speaker 1: much about this, actually almost nothing, But I'm just kind
- 54:25Speaker 1: of playing devil's advocate here. A lot of people were
- 54:29Speaker 1: trying to discredit Garrison for whatever reason. And I'm not
- 54:33Speaker 1: going to mention political figures today. But in the last
- 54:37Speaker 1: week there's claims coming out from three decades ago with
- 54:41Speaker 1: no corroboration, and it gets media attention. So how do
- 54:47Speaker 1: you how do you really evaluate it? And I haven't
- 54:52Speaker 1: read the statements of him and his brother, so I'm.
- 54:55Speaker 3: Asking, well, you know, it's not a large part of
- 55:00Speaker 3: what I talk about Jim Garrison. I do mention in
- 55:02Speaker 3: my book, but at some point I will publish the
- 55:06Speaker 3: interviews with the with with the person who was fondled
- 55:10Speaker 3: and his family. Quite detailed interviews that are on in
- 55:15Speaker 3: the official Lambert papers. They're quite convincing and quite you
- 55:20Speaker 3: know certain and this was a very prominent and complete
- 55:23Speaker 3: with names. Will name the family, but it was a
- 55:27Speaker 3: prominent Catholic family. I would say that, you know, there's
- 55:31Speaker 3: other there's lots of other evidence. I think Garrison was
- 55:35Speaker 3: closeted in some degree. It's unfortunate me explain why he
- 55:39Speaker 3: went after people like Clay Shaw. I don't know. Garrison
- 55:45Speaker 3: was a complicated man.
- 55:48Speaker 2: Yeah, even in the book, there's of course, you know,
- 55:52Speaker 2: this is Dan Andrew's son. Supposedly he said that his
- 55:55Speaker 2: father was was bisexual, which yeah, you know, I can understand.
- 56:02Speaker 2: You know that he was basically the go to representative
- 56:05Speaker 2: for for that community back then, you know, when after
- 56:08Speaker 2: they were arrested, and you know, I on another show
- 56:12Speaker 2: that I do with Doug called Quick Hits, we had
- 56:15Speaker 2: h O Rldge on the show and we were talking
- 56:18Speaker 2: to him because apparently there was I don't know what
- 56:21Speaker 2: you think about this, but there was actually a real
- 56:25Speaker 2: person named Clay Clai born Bertrand back then. And then
- 56:33Speaker 2: we came across another document that that basically it came
- 56:40Speaker 2: from a journalist I think with Life magazine at the time,
- 56:43Speaker 2: and this was an FBI document, and he was saying
- 56:46Speaker 2: that the term clay Bertram was basically a cry for
- 56:50Speaker 2: a generic like cry for help back then. You know,
- 56:53Speaker 2: if you said, if you told somebody, you know, hey,
- 56:55Speaker 2: you know Clay Bertrand you're in trouble and you need help,
- 57:00Speaker 2: and it was and it happened in like several different
- 57:02Speaker 2: gay communities, like each one would have their own kind
- 57:05Speaker 2: of clay Bertrand uh, you know thing to where it
- 57:09Speaker 2: was more of a covert way for them to you know,
- 57:14Speaker 2: basically explained that they needed help. And each community had
- 57:17Speaker 2: like a different kind of of Clay Bertrand or a
- 57:20Speaker 2: Tom Smith or you know Jack Booth or or or
- 57:24Speaker 2: whatever the case may be. I was just curious to
- 57:27Speaker 2: what you thought about, you know, the real klay Bertrand
- 57:30Speaker 2: and this whole uh possible possible use of clay Bertrand
- 57:36Speaker 2: as a as a as a white there was a.
- 57:38Speaker 3: Real klay Bertrand, but he was as straight he was see,
- 57:41Speaker 3: had nothing to do with anything. But there was a
- 57:43Speaker 3: Clay Bertrand, that's for sure. I've I've I've gotten a
- 57:47Speaker 3: lot of documents about him. I don't believe that the
- 57:50Speaker 3: story about Clay Bertrand being a signal or signed for
- 57:54Speaker 3: gay people to use, that that came from Lauren Schilder,
- 57:57Speaker 3: who told the FBI that and I each buy a
- 58:00Speaker 3: lot of FBI a lot of stuff, which I don't
- 58:02Speaker 3: really buy. I don't. I don't believe that's really really true.
- 58:06Speaker 3: It may have been a code word that maybe uh
- 58:09Speaker 3: Dean Andrews used about his gay clients. I'm not sure,
- 58:15Speaker 3: but I don't. The one thing we do know is
- 58:17Speaker 3: that clay Shaw was not Clay Berthland.
- 58:20Speaker 1: Okay, well, Fred, I I came across an interesting document
- 58:24Speaker 1: and this is a great uh segue here or not segue,
- 58:30Speaker 1: just relating to what we're talking about. And I'm sure
- 58:32Speaker 1: you've seen this document before.
- 58:34Speaker 3: This is FBI memo from so I have I have
- 58:37Speaker 3: a better version of that with the with with no reactions.
- 58:40Speaker 3: I yes, I've seen it and posted it.
- 58:44Speaker 1: Great, so great, So I'm happy. H So this was
- 58:47Speaker 1: Mark second sixty seven. Clay Shaw was arrested the day before.
- 58:52Speaker 2: Correctly, right, that's.
- 58:53Speaker 3: Right, and and so thirteen oh nine dash she is
- 58:56Speaker 3: Joseph Auster.
- 58:59Speaker 1: Okay, well, well look, I'm going to read it before
- 59:02Speaker 1: you answer for the audience. On February twenty four, sixty seven,
- 59:07Speaker 1: we received information from Aaron Cohne and from No. Thirteen
- 59:11Speaker 1: oh nine, which you say is Joseph Auster, that Clay
- 59:14Speaker 1: Shaw is identical with an individual by the name of
- 59:16Speaker 1: Clay Bertrand who allegedly was in contact with Dean Andrews,
- 59:20Speaker 1: New Orleans attorney and connection with the rb oswall blah
- 59:22Speaker 1: blah blah. But the interesting thing is February twenty four
- 59:26Speaker 1: to sixty seven is twenty four, is a week before
- 59:31Speaker 1: March first. So they're receiving this information from two sources
- 59:37Speaker 1: saying that Shaw was Bertrand about six days before he
- 59:44Speaker 1: was arrested Clay Shaw. So interesting that this document exists.
- 59:49Speaker 3: So what do you make of that? Oh, it's it's
- 59:51Speaker 3: really there's nothing. There's nothing to this document because if
- 59:53Speaker 3: you look at the underlying documents that actually talk in
- 59:57Speaker 3: detail about Aaron Cohne and Joseph Austri that support this document,
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: they had no they had no They were just saying
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: things they had heard, and you know, they had no
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: actual information themselves. They had no inside knowledge that that
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: that Sean was bertrand it was just things they had
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: heard in the grapevine, but they had no actual knowledge.
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: And I post the actual documents about Auster and about
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: Aaron Cohne in related relations to this document all my
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: on my blog.
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: Man.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: I don't want to give away everything in your book.

- 1:01:00Speaker 3: Lancer presentation is going to be on the statsy files
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: of Richard Kse Neguel So Miguel was unfortunately arrested traveling
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: through He was on his way to Berlin from Zurich
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: and he neglected to get a transit visa for East Germany.
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: This was in nineteen sixty eight, and so he was
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: arrested by the East Germans and he was held for
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: around four months. And so I made an application. I
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: got his stassy files and I'm going to discuss what's

- 1:03:38Speaker 1: Kind of close it out there. So and I want
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: to say I comment section earlier, and I think I
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: heard you say this on one of Rob's earlier shows.
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: I was actually re listening earlier today, and not a
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: lot of people conferences invite researchers with other opinions onto
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: the as speakers. And I really like what Lancer is
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: doing here because I think, you know, there's no reason
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: even if we have different opinions and we we we
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: think different things. Of the nine people that you talked about,
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: if you can debunk one or two.
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: Of them for me, that makes it like I'm all
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: for that.
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: I'm saying, I'm.
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: Saying, I'm hypothetically. I've read three chapters so far.
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: And I think I think that, you know, I love
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: doing the debunking. I think that a serious jfk IS
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: conferences would would have a mixture of people who had
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: something important to say. I've broken a lot of things
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: on my blog. For instance, the bolton Ford incident, which
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: is in my book. I solved that that would have
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: made another good presentation at Lancer.
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, that's that's an interesting one for sure.
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: So Fred, thanks for joining us again here on the show.
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: It's been a pleasure again. And if you're going to
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: Dallas this year, folks out there, you'd be nice to Fred.
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: By Fred your bodyguard.
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: And then Joe you can help too, maybe.
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Joe, make sure nothing happened to you in Dallas, man,
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: because you want it then my friend. Uh but no,
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: I think you'll be just fine. I think all the
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: the crowd you it's probably gonna be the other CAPA
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: conference that would give you a lot of grief.
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: Yeah for sure.
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: But now here Fred, we're gonna end the show with
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: Dean Andrews. He always sings and dances. It's out of
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: here for the last minute of the show. Once again,
