• 0:21
  Speaker 1: What's up. Everybody. Welcome in. This is JFK book Reviews.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I am Big, bad Bob and today we're gonna be
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: reviewing the book. Oswald talked the new evidence in the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: JFK assassination by Ray and Mary La Fontanya or Lafontaine.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Or however you want to say.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, and buddy, she thick just like I like him.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: So yeah, this is uh, this is gonna be a
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: good one, So stay tuned. This book was published in
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: nineteen and ninety six by Pelican Publishing and it clocks
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: in at about six hundred pages, roughly eleven chapters, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: it definitely has a conspiracy.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Lean to it. And in case you hadn't noticed from
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the cover, So.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: In hindsight, you know, looking back over the decade of
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the nineties, there was actually a lot of really good
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: assassination books that came out in the nineties in the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: wake of the JFK Records Act and all these file
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: releases and people that were using them to their advantage
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: in order to push JFK research forward. And of course
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: two of those people were husband and wife team Ray
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and Mary la Fontaine or La Fantaigne. And what's interesting
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: about this husband and wife duo. They came on the scene,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: they were very involved, and they very quickly became acclimated
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to the case. And the focus of the book himes
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: primarily on a discovery by another researcher named Bill Adams
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: who stumbled across the whole John L. Rod documents. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: it was actually Ray and Mary Lafontaine who found the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: three Tramp documents in the Dallas Archives, the DBD Dallas Archives.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And you know, there there had been much speculation going
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: back into.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: The sixties.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: As to who these three Tramps were, and they finally
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: uncovered the documents that identified them.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: So you know, these folks were.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Researching a different path, if you will, and very interesting ones.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And I thoroughly enjoy books that come out of left
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: field with new information and smack you in the face
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and say, yo, you need to read me, you need
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to read me. You know, this is around the same
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: time books like Oswald and the Cia by John Newman
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: are coming out, Harvey and Lee by John.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Armstrong are coming out, and.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: This book in particular, you know, it had been so
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: long since I've read this book, and I wonder if
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: it tells me when I got this book twenty fourteen
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: is when I got this book. Okay, so twelve years ago,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and at the time when I read it, you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the big, big takeaway out of this book was, of
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: course the John L. Rod story and the Tramps and
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: all of that. Now going back, you know, there's videos
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of interviews with John L. Rod by places like hard
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Copy and things like that where he maintained his story,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and of course detales of gun running through Dallas and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the arrest of Winter and excuse me, his buddy right
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: before the assassination went down, and the possible implications of
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: things in the course of research for the Sylvia Odio
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: topic that we've been discussing here on the show recently.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: This book devotes a chapter to the Sylvia Odio story,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and going back and reading it, it's pretty mind blowing,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: pretty pretty mind blowing, because like, this book not only
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: tackles the Three Tramps, the John L. Rod story, the
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: gun running issues with Jack Ruby, but I believe that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: there is a lot more threads that need to be
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: unraveled that they present in this book, and we probably
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: will do so in upcoming episodes on the Longomon podcast.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I came across a lot of good information also in
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: this book concerning something that really wasn't on a lot
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of people's radars back in nineteen ninety six, at least
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: in the context that the la Fontaines are the Lafontaines
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: go about it, and that is the DRE and its
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: connections to the CIA and let's just say, people connected
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: with the CIA and these various anti Castro groups. There
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: are some very very illuminative, uh context, if you will,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: when speaking of the d R and what was going
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: on in Dallas right before the assassination. And it's very interesting,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: very interesting. Let's just say it could help Big Bad
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Bob complete his DRE was behind the assassination theory. Again,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the big gap here is setting Oswald up to be
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the patsy for the assassination in Dallas. Okay, because the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: typical the typical suspects.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: You know, the d R.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: We all know Carlos Bringe and New Orleans and all
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the Mother's caffuzes that were around him at the time.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: You know that we always talk about like carogasors you
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: or Kaija Smith, Louis Rebel or Aspama, all these guys,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Victor Hernandez, all of these guys, Carlo I'm sorry, Carlo Shenandez,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Victor Espinoza, all of these guys, these anti Castro Cubans,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: they're in New Orleans, not so much Dallas. The problem
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: for me to link everything, of course, was how did
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: they pull off or whoever did pull off setting Oswald
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: up to be the patsy in Dallas and actually pull
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: off the assassination. Well, I believe the answer lies, or
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: at least the beginnings of the answer lies, in this book,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: and I'm not going to ruin it here today in
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the book review, but of course we will be diving
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: deeper into it in the podcast in the very near future.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But to say that this.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Book sparked some controversy would be an understatement. The Lone
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Nutters did not like this group at all, or this.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Book at all. They were not They were not fans
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: of the l Rod story.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: They were not fans of the context putting these people
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: around Oswald in Dallas in nineteen sixty three that have
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: suspicious dre ties, CIA ties, FBI ties. They raised some
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: very intriguing theories, and a lot of conspiracy theorists weren't
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: fan of this book either. I mean, Harold Weisberg fucking
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: hated the La Fontaines, thought they were completely off their
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: rocker and talking out of their ass. I don't know
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: about that guy sometimes, but to me, you know, these
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: these folks came on here, they did they did the research,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: They wrote the book, all right. They were working with
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: very respected researchers and I'm talking. I'm talking about Paul Hawk,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Peter Dale, Scott, you know, the swinging his deck of
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: swinging dicks. And you know, they were no slouches. They
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: were in with some some good ones, you know, not
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: not like some scuffouzes of the nineties who were trying
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: to sensationalize things like Ross grow White and James Files
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: and things like that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Oswald talked had teeth, It had real teeth.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: They came on the scene, they dropped the book, they
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: did the conference rounds, and then they disappeared.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: They dropped out of sight and seemingly dropped the mic
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and went home. You know what I mean.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: They said, this is this is what we worked all
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the mears on and we're done and we're out deuces,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: and they dropped this thing on us, and uh, it
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: should be revered for what it is, which is what
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: very few books are when it comes to the JFK assassination,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and that is groundbreaking. I opening jaw drop. The title
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: of the book doesn't lie the new evidence in the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: JFK assassination, and it should be paid attention to. And
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of their contemporary researchers and authors
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: at the time were very jealous of the success that
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: this book had. It's very hard to tear this book
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: apart as far as being uncredible, but people tried. People
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: surely tried. Now is everything in here true? No, that's
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: not going to be true for every book or any
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: book on the assassination. But I applaud what they attempted
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: to do here, which is think outside the box, not
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: be scared, to throw new things on the table and
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: say look at this, and be able to support it
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: with documentation, which is all through this book, asking the
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: pertinent questions of our institutions like the FBI, and how
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: much they knew and when they knew it, and what
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: they did or didn't do about it, all very important stuff.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I could go on and on about this book, but
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I don't want to ruin it for you. That's how
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: much I respect this book. I don't want to ruin
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: it for you if there is one book out of
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: all the ones we've done reviews on up to this date,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: this very very date, there are very few.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Where I look at you and your eyes and I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: tell you.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Look, you need to have this book in your collection
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: on your bookshelf. And not only that, but you need
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: to fucking read it. Read it, pay attention, pay very
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: close attention to what this book is telling you, and
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: it just might be eye opening. Because when I read
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: this book in twenty fourteen, my brain at the time
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: was not really on the path of Silviodio, the dre
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: in Dallas, the dreh in.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: New Orleans, you know, it was on.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Some other conspiracy tract at the time, and I didn't
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: really understand the ramifictions of the things that were talked
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: about in this book at the time. But going back
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: and rereading some of the relevant parts of this book
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: that apply to what we've been talking about on the
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: show recently, just a little mind blowing, if you will,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and could possibly not entirely, but possibly open the door
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: and lead the way to some new threads to pull on,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: more to study, if you will, more things to try
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: to suss out. We're giving lots of strings here to
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: pull on. And with the benefit of this now being.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Thirty years later.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Again, the book was published in ninety six. It's twenty six,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: thirty years ago this book was published. You know, all
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the documents we've gotten released in the past thirty years,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: and what might be sitting in the archives when it
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: comes to some of the people that they talk about
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: in this book. It's mind blowing. And you know, I
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: will be on top of it. I will be diving down, digging,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: drilling hard, if you will, into this, because, like I said,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I've been looking for the Dallas connection.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: And it possibly is contained in this.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Book, and it's possibly gone unnoticed all this time. So
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: with that being said, you know, I can't recommend this
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: book enough. It is one of big bad bobs must haves,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: must have and there's very few of them on my
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: bookshelf that are must haves, but damn it, this is
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: one of them. So you know what that means. This
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: book is a ten out of ten guns up erupting
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: like fireworks on the fourth of July. Ten out of ten, baby,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I can't recommend this book enough. Oswald talked to new
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: evidence in the JFK assassination by Ray and Mary Lafontaine
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: or Lafontaine, go out and get it, I believe on
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Amazon right now.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Let's see what we got. Yeah.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's only one new copy left on Amazon right now,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and it's clocking in at seventeen bucks if you're a
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Prime member. But there are other used copies for as
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: low as six ninety nine on Amazon. And of course
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: there's other places out there other than Amazon to get it,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: but I'll throw the Amazon link in the description for
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: you to check out. I can't, like I said, I
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: can't recommend this book highly enough. I cannot wait to
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: dive in and start pulling on some threads that they
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: left hanging out of this book for your boy to
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: follow thirty years later. And I'm gonna believe it. I
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: am gonna we'll be talking about it real soon. But
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: until then, this has been JFK book Reviews. I'm big
