WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:07.719 Good morning, everybody. Corey used bloody history. We're continuing on 2 00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:10.560 through this David ferryphile and today we're going to read 3 00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:17.239 through an article by William W. Turner in Ramparts magazine 4 00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:22.839 in June sixty seven. It's called the Inquest. You know, 5 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:24.399 it's funny when you go back and you look at 6 00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:32.600 like the Kennedy assassination conspiracy stuff that started to come 7 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.159 out in books almost immediately after the assassination. By the 8 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.119 time Garrison started his investigation, there must have been dozens 9 00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:44.960 and dozens of books already published. And so I find 10 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.280 that these books, in particular cover up by Gary Shaw 11 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.000 absolutely unbelievable. What's in that thing? He came so close 12 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:57.840 to cracking so many things in it. It's really unbelievable. 13 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.520 The work that he did on the book depository, and 14 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.200 you know, showing the picture of the man who was 15 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.200 arrested but then released because he didn't speak English clearly 16 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:11.159 Lawrence Howard. That stuff was all highlighted in that book. 17 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:12.920 And so when I find when you go back to 18 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.239 those early books up through like sixty seven sixty eight, 19 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:20.519 all the early stuff Penn Jones and whatnot, Mark Lane, 20 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.719 it's always got details in there that have been just 21 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.959 pushed off to the wayside. I'm hoping that this article 22 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:31.120 from sixty seven will have some of those amazing details 23 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:35.359 that nobody talks about anymore. So this is called the inquest. 24 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.159 Grand conspiracies need not be grand. There need be only 25 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.480 a few central figures in a position to manipulate, wheedle, duped, 26 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.599 blackmail and by the bit actors. This is the theory 27 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.359 of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison as applied to 28 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.239 the assassination of President Kennedy. The people who engineered the killing, 29 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.799 the killing of one of the finest presidents we ever had, 30 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.799 are walking around to day. He declares not to do 31 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:07.400 anything about it. Is Unamerican. The Louisiana populace can hardly 32 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.199 be accused of disloyalty. He has, he claims, discovered who 33 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.199 killed Kennedy, who organized the plot, and what forces were 34 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.039 involved in planning the various steps that led to the assassination. 35 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.439 And he's done all this against formidable odds. He has 36 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:26.520 been denounced and ridiculed by such calumnists as Bob Considine, 37 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:30.199 Jim Bishop, and Victor Ricel. The press has for the 38 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.800 most part slanted its coverage of his investigation to imply 39 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.960 motives of personal glory and political gain. The government establishment 40 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.000 has given him the cold shoulder, and the FBI, which 41 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.840 cleared two of his present suspects immediately following the assassination, 42 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.360 refused to release its information to him. The truth, according 43 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.840 to Garrison, is certain to rock the republic as it 44 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.159 gradually unfolds in court. He is convinced that Lee Harvey 45 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.680 Oswald was not a trigger man and that Jack Ruby 46 00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:01.199 was the puppet of a more sophisticated master. He's equally 47 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.080 sure at the working level of the conspiracy was composed 48 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.759 of rabid anti Castro Cuban exiles in league with elements 49 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.360 of the American paramilitary right, well, you know, just to 50 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.719 comment on that real quick, like, remember, the only anti 51 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:21.919 Castro Cubans involved in the assassination period are Sergei Arcacia 52 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:28.000 and Emilio Santana. That's it. That's it, And both those 53 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:33.080 guys worked for Marcelo in New Orleans. So no one 54 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.639 was there on behalf of anti Castro Cuban's biggest red 55 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.840 herring in all of Kennedy. And then when it says 56 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.120 exiles in league with elements of the American paramilitary right. 57 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:48.199 That part's accurate too. That part's accurate. Some people put 58 00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:52.240 too much emphasis on the far right, the McIntyre crowd, 59 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:57.840 the California guys and the mill Tiers. Those guys were 60 00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.879 probably in the know because they knew Lawrence Howard and 61 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:06.960 Lauren Hall and William Seymour and Kerrie Thornley and Warren 62 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:11.680 Reynolds and so. Yeah, the information flowed through those channels, 63 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.240 I'm sure. But did they have much of a role 64 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.800 in this thing. I'd say not at all, other than 65 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:22.879 their associations. The concerted establishment effort to confine the events 66 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.839 of the assassination to Oswald and Ruby suggests the Garrison 67 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.639 thesis a vertically integrated plot, rising step by step into 68 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:34.199 high echelons of government and the military industrial complex. Honorable 69 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.839 men did in Caesar drily observes the prosecutor with a 70 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:42.279 fondness for historical metaphor. Thus far, the dramatis personae of 71 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.879 Garrison's terse drama have been wildly disparate. On February twenty 72 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.040 second of this year, after preliminary lengthy questioning by the 73 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.319 DA's office, and shortly before he was to be arrested 74 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:57.120 by Garrison in charge with conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy. David 75 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.000 William Ferry was found dead in his cluttered New Orleans apartment. 76 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.759 The second major figure in Garrison's probe is fifty four 77 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.639 year old Clay Shaw, retired executive director of the New 78 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:13.160 Orleans International Trademark, charged with conspiracy by Garrison. He's now 79 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.439 awaiting trial. A third individual expected to figure prominently in 80 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.800 the Garrison inquiry is Manuel Garcia Gonzalez. The New Orleans 81 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:27.360 DA has come into possession of a photograph taken at 82 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.600 Dealey Plaza just before the assassination, which shows several Latin 83 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.759 men behind the low picket fence at the top of 84 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.360 the famed grassian Ole. Most Warren Report critics believe one 85 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.480 or more shots were fired from the grassyan Ol area, 86 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.560 and Garrison thinks Gonzalez is one of the men in 87 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.319 this photograph. Gonzalez has disappeared and probably fled the country. 88 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.680 All right, So let's examine this real quick, because it's nonsense. 89 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.319 M A third individual expected to figure prominently in the 90 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:56.199 Garrison inquiry is Manuel Garcia Gonzalez. Okay, so I've looked 91 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.199 into this Manuel Garcia Gonzalez, and I can't. This is 92 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.279 zero connection and other than a loose affiliation amongst the 93 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.360 Cubans in New Orleans. I don't know why Garrison was 94 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.560 so hell bent on this guy. I should probably do 95 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:14.480 a double back on him. But nowhere does he figure 96 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.199 prominently in the storyline other than one of the side 97 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:24.879 characters like Carlos Carroga, like David Pierce Maggire. Although David 98 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:29.279 Pierce Maggiar I have a feeling flew carry Thornley in Mexico. 99 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.079 That's what I am inclined to believe at this point. 100 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.040 It's just too much of a coincidence that him, allegedly, 101 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:41.920 oswald Uh, and god Day all got their visas to 102 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.000 Mexico City on the same fucking day. You see. This 103 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.160 is when I say that they were sloppy. That's exactly 104 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.279 what I mean. You don't send three guys in there 105 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.199 going on this fucking conspiracy trip to fucking get their 106 00:06:51.279 --> 00:07:02.319 vasas on the same day. It's retarded, retarded. So yeah, Gonzales, 107 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.160 I don't know why he puts so much effort under 108 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.920 this guy. He's not come up prominently in any of 109 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.639 the research that I've done, so but we'll see, and 110 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:13.120 we'll see there's a couple of people in Daly Plaza 111 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.040 who I don't know who the fuck they are. There's 112 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.600 like a black guy standing in Daily Plaza by the 113 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:22.079 pergola with a little hat on that doesn't look like 114 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.120 he belongs there, looks very sophisticated. I don't know who 115 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:31.240 the hell ad is, So let me continue. The New 116 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.160 Orleans DA has come into possession of a photograph take 117 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.959 it at Daly Plaza just before the assassination. What photograph 118 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.439 is this? I've never heard of this photograph. I've never 119 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:49.560 seen this photograph. It's obviously no longer a photograph. And 120 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.800 if there's pictures of them in Daly Plaza before the assassination, 121 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.319 which I haven't seen any pictures before the assassination except 122 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.199 of the Secret Service car, that's when everything seems to start. Right. 123 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.480 Think that people would be in Daily Plaza and just 124 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.759 taking pictures because they were there waiting for the president, right, 125 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.240 they would take a couple skyline shots or whatever. But 126 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.360 that doesn't seem to have happened in any case whatsoever. 127 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:16.879 Can anyone out there think of a single photograph that 128 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.360 is taken in Daily Plaza prior to the Secret Service 129 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.439 car pulling in and all the cars starting to pull 130 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.279 in like in the Hughes film and stuff like that, 131 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.759 like the Hughes film, and that this seems where all 132 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.840 the photographs start, right, the motor kaid is just starting 133 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.039 to come into Daily Plaza. That's where they don't even 134 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.559 have photographs of the ambulance that took Jerry bell Knapp 135 00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.519 to park On hospital, the epileptic, right y epileptic who 136 00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.080 just got to drink a glass of water and walked 137 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:49.000 out the door, never to be heard from again. So yeah, 138 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.279 very interesting. The timing of when all the photography in 139 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.279 Daily Plaza starts. You would think somebody would have been 140 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:57.159 there a half hour early and taken one picture. Right, 141 00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.240 we don't even have that. What does that tell you? 142 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:03.120 All photographs prior to the motorcade entry into Daily Plaza 143 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:10.919 have been deleted from the world for some reason. All right, 144 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.519 of anybody out there knows to the contrary, please let 145 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.559 me know. I'm anxious to see a photograph prior to 146 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:24.600 the motorcaide's entry. All right, Oswald and Garrison's book, he 147 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.240 was nothing more than a decoy and a fall guy 148 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.639 one hundred percent. The next bracketed heading says a guide 149 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:36.279 to the CIA's New Orleans Dave Ferry was gesticulating furiously 150 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:40.279 as he poured out his scheme triangulation. The availability of 151 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.080 exit one man had to be sacrificed to give the 152 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.399 other one or two gunman time to escape. Leon Oswald 153 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.240 listened impassively. So did Clay Bertrand, A tall, courtly older 154 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.159 man with close cropped white hair. Bertrand, smartly attired in 155 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.679 a maroon jacket, looked out of place with his carelessly 156 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:04.000 dress companions in the disarray of Ferri's apartment. This was 157 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.759 the scene on or about September sixteenth, nineteen sixty three, 158 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.120 as described recently in a New Orleans courtroom by Perry Russo, 159 00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.679 Jim Garrison's star witness to date, who had been present 160 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:20.120 in the Ferry apartment on that fateful night. An articulate 161 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.240 young insurance salesman for Equitable Life and a graduate of 162 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:27.399 the Jesuit Loyola University, Russo had passed for what is worth, 163 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.799 a series of sodium penthethal truth serum tests administered by 164 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:34.279 medical experts. His story was sufficiently impressive to cause a 165 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.200 three judge panel to bind over clay Shaw, whom Russou 166 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.679 identified as Clay Bertrand for trial in the assassination of 167 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:42.960 the President. Okay, so let's examine a couple of things here. 168 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:45.840 This is one of the most important and most overlooked 169 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.240 incidents in the lead up to the assassination, and the 170 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:56.799 timing is extremely important too. So obviously it's not Oswald, 171 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.320 okakerry Thornly. When you go deep into the d tales, 172 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.960 and maybe they'll cover it in this article, you'll see 173 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:06.039 that he had he met him a couple of times 174 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:08.159 leading up to this party. When he met him those times, 175 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.120 he had a big, bushy beard. For this party, he 176 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:12.120 had whiskers, which means he had cut off his beard 177 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.720 a couple of days before, right, And so then when 178 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.279 Russo testifies to the Warren Commission, or maybe it was 179 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:23.080 clay Shaw's trial, maybe it was Klayshaw's trial. Actually, he 180 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:28.360 took a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald and he drew 181 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.000 a big beard on him and said, yeah, that's the 182 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.879 guy right there. Okay, so it was never Oswald. Oswald 183 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:34.799 never had a beard, and so who had a beard? 184 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.600 And he described him as a bearded beatnik? And who 185 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.120 the hell is the only beatnick in the story, and 186 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.480 that would be Kerry Thornley. So to me, it's so 187 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.360 brutally obvious it was Kerry Thornley at the party, which 188 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.200 is mostly exposed through Kerry Thornley's fifty page AFFI David Damn, 189 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:49.559 I feel like a broken record. I've said that like 190 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:51.960 a hundred times. But this is some of the most 191 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.679 important stuff. This party, the Perry Russo party, some of 192 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.320 the most important stuff. Once you realize, yes, it's Clay 193 00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:04.080 Shaw and David Ferry and Carrie Thornley and most likely 194 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.759 Haul Howard and Seymour. The Cubans who were seen there, right, 195 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.639 they gave aliases and so this is a possibility that 196 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.919 you could have had Thornley and William Seymour in the 197 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:22.320 same place. It's very possible because I'm kind of convinced 198 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.320 that the people who were alleged to have been Cubans 199 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.279 there would have been Howard and Lauren Hall, and so 200 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:33.399 this would have been September. I have to double check 201 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.200 my calendar and my timeline on William Seymour's travel. He 202 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.480 allegedly worked for Beach Welding until mid October, but I 203 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:42.080 don't believe that at all, because there were sightings of 204 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.240 him in Los Angeles going under the name of Techs 205 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:45.799 at a time when he was supposed to be at 206 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.240 Beach welding, And so that story's bullshit. It's another front job. 207 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.519 He's a CIA guy. So where was William Seymour if 208 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.039 he wasn't at this party? Also, again, this is speculation 209 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.200 on my part, but it's kind of educated speculation. And 210 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.399 the date here, September sixteenth, very important. Why because this 211 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:09.200 coincides with when carry Thorny got back to New Orleans 212 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:12.720 from Whittier, California, where when he was out there he 213 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:15.159 met up at Lauren Hall and Warren Reynolds at the 214 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:20.480 State's Rights party. And he then comes back to New 215 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.440 Orleans and he's back September fourth. On his way back 216 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:27.039 in late August and early September, the first couple of days, 217 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:30.080 he passes through Mexico City. In his second trip to 218 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.679 Mexico City, he stopped there and it's not even on 219 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:34.039 the way, it's way out of the fucking way. So 220 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.840 he went there for a reason, and it wasn't just 221 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.360 to go fucking play highlight or watch highlight in bullfighting. 222 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.320 And so I believe the two trips that he made 223 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.480 to Mexico City were set ups for the impersonation of 224 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.080 Oswald that he did when he went back at Lates 225 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:56.559 in late September. Right the twenty sixth, he allegedly crosses 226 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:02.440 the border into Mexico and on the twenty seventh, Oswald 227 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:04.480 was still in New Orleans get closing out his PO 228 00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:10.240 box from the Wiseberg and Garrison files. So that whole 229 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.159 that two or three day period of late September is 230 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.200 crucial in determining who was where, because William Seymour was 231 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:21.440 at Odeo's around the twenty seventh, and Oswald allegedly crossed 232 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.879 the border into Mexico City on the twenty sixth. Clearly 233 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.840 Carrie Thornley and then Oswald, the person we know is 234 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:32.759 Oswald is actually in New Orleans closing out his PEO box, right, 235 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.240 so he didn't he couldn't a crossed the border, and 236 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:36.080 none of that stuff is obviously not him. So now 237 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.360 we have within a two to two day period the 238 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.080 twenty sixth and twenty seventh, we can clearly say we 239 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.960 have all three of Oswald and his two impersonators in 240 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.639 three different places, impersonating Oswald and then Oz the real 241 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:49.720 Oswald in a document that's mostly been scuttled, showing he 242 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:51.960 closed out his po box on either I forget if 243 00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:53.159 it was a twenty sixth or probably I think it 244 00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.720 was the twenty seventh actually, and so, yeah, all this 245 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:02.240 makes perfect sense to me. All right, where was I? So? Yeah, 246 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.879 back to the Perry Russo Perry Russo party. Very important um. 247 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:12.919 Following Faery's rapid fire dissertation, said Russo, the talk switched 248 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.879 to escape. Ferry declared in favor of a flight to 249 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:19.360 Brazil with a refueling stop in Mexico, or a more 250 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.200 risky hop directly at Cuba. It is a source of 251 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.679 puzzlement why Ferry would want to go to Cuba, given 252 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:29.240 his anti Castro stance. Bertrand disagreed on the grounds that 253 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.120 were of the assassination would spread too fast to permit 254 00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:35.159 a long flight. Shut up and leave him alone, interjected 255 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.519 Leon Oswald, whom Russo said was Lee Harvey Oswald. He's 256 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.679 the pilot, A washed up pilot, huffed Bertrand, alluding to 257 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.639 Fairi's dismissal from Eastern Airlines for homosexual convictions. From the conversation, 258 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.279 Russo deduced that none of the three intended to participate 259 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:55.000 actively in the assassination. Ferry suggested they should be in 260 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:58.000 public eye on the day of the attempt. He himself 261 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:01.600 would make a speech at a nearby college. Bertrand said 262 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:04.200 he would go to the West coast on business, and 263 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.799 Oswald said nothing, so okay. So Ferry suggested they should 264 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:09.279 all be in the public eye on the day of 265 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.120 the attempt. He himself would make a speech at a 266 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:16.759 nearby college. Okay. So he ends up at a college 267 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:21.120 Southeastern in Louisiana in Hammond the night of the assassination. 268 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:33.440 So he's kind of sticking to how he had previously 269 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.399 set it up. Right, Let me continue. Clay Shaw was 270 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.759 indeed on the West Coast on business on November twenty second. No, 271 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:43.399 he wasn't. We don't know that. We don't know where 272 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.480 he was the twenty second, third, or fourth, because he 273 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.759 didn't show up on the West coast until the twenty fifth. Well, 274 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:51.159 allegedly on the twenty second he was in San Francisco 275 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.960 having a fucking lunch with somebody. He has one alibi 276 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.279 witness out there, But give me break. These guys fabricate 277 00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.919 fucking witnesses so that you can put no stock into 278 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.960 so he didn't show up until the twenty fifth in Portland, 279 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:06.799 I believe it was, and so I'm actively trying to 280 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:09.319 attempt to put him in Dallas, which I'm pretty confident 281 00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:12.000 he was, and Dawson has put him in Dallas already, 282 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:18.720 so let me continue. Two weeks previously, his manager at 283 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:21.720 the New Orleans Trademark had written the San Francisco Trademark 284 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:23.640 that Shaw would be passing through on that date and 285 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:27.079 would like to discuss mutual interests with their executives. At 286 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.720 the moment when Kennedy was killed, Shaw was conferring with 287 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:35.440 the San Francisco Men, a Trademark CIA organization. Ferry also 288 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.000 had an alibi of sorts. A New Orleans attorney is 289 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.759 fairly certain that on Black Friday, the eccentric little Man 290 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:44.759 was in his law office around twelve fifteen pm. Fairy 291 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.440 contended he was in New Orleans until late in the afternoon, 292 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:50.000 when he and his two young roommates left on an 293 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:54.400 impromptu trip to Texas. How they wann't roomates to hunt geese. 294 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:56.759 On the surface, it was a wild goose chase. The 295 00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.839 trio drove to Houston on Friday to Galveston on Saturday, 296 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.640 returned to New Orleans on Sunday, over one thousand miles, 297 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.559 but Garrison has witnesses who swear that Ferry spent several 298 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.440 hours at a Houston's skating rink waiting by the telephone. 299 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.960 It was a curious junket at a curious time, so 300 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:16.680 curious that Garrison, on his own initiative, arrested and held 301 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:21.599 the three for FBI investigation of subversive activity. Garrison charges 302 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:24.960 only that the machinations in Ferry's apartment set in motion 303 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.680 events that culminated in the assassination. What direction the substantive 304 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.240 plot may have taken from there is hinted at in 305 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:35.720 the further testimony of Russo. He had met Ferry, he 306 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:39.200 said first four years earlier through the Civil Air Patrol activity, 307 00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:42.200 and frequently was invited to his apartment. There had been 308 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.519 a party before the meeting on the evening in question, 309 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:46.960 and Russo had lingered after the rest of the guests. 310 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.920 Among the last to leave were several Cubans and military fatigues, 311 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:52.960 two of whom he were called by their first names, 312 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.279 Manuel and a name that sounded like Julian. Manuel, Garrison 313 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:01.000 suspects is the missing Manuel Garcia gonzales I don't know 314 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:04.599 about that. We'll see, We'll see. The bizarre quality of 315 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.119 Fairy's life followed him into the death. After being questioned 316 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.160 by Garrison, he muttered he did not have long to live. 317 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.759 The cause of death, the coroner revealed, had been in 318 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.799 embolism at the base of the brain, induced by hypertension. 319 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:20.200 But a brain embolism can also be caused by a 320 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:25.119 deftly administered karate chop to the neck, and some other 321 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.160 people die by karate chop to the neck, a technique 322 00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:31.960 which possibly killed Dallas reporter Jim Cothi, who had participated 323 00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:34.559 in an enigmatic meeting at Jack Ruby's apartment the night 324 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:38.359 Oswald was murdered. Ramparts November nineteen sixty six. That's him, 325 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:43.519 Jim Coty, an inveterate activist. Fairy solicited funds for Castro 326 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.599 in nineteen fifty eight, then bitterly turned against him when 327 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.440 he struck his communist colors. According to former Havana journalist 328 00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:55.519 Diego Gonzalez, Tendadera, Faerry flew fire bomb raids and refugee 329 00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:58.000 rescue missions to Cuba from Florida in a twin engine 330 00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:01.440 Piper Apache owned by Eladio de la A, an ex 331 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:05.480 Baptista official who had escaped to Miami with considerable wealth. 332 00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:09.000 Fairry reportedly was paid one thousand to fifteen hundred emission, 333 00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:14.079 depending on the risk involved. The caper ended in nineteen 334 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:18.359 sixty one, when US government agents confiscated the Apache and 335 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.720 Ferry headed for New Orleans. On February twenty second, the 336 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.720 day Fairry died in New Orleans, del Valla's head was 337 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:28.079 split by a powerful blow with a machete or hatchet, 338 00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:31.359 and he was shot over the heart. Miami police, noting 339 00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:35.599 that he had been involved in narcotic smuggling, excuse me 340 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:39.920 called in a gangland called it a gangland slang. After 341 00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:42.000 the Bay of Pigs, Faery boasted he had taken part 342 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:43.920 in the invasion, and indeed it has come to light 343 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:47.519 that a CIA directed diversionary strike had been launched from 344 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:51.960 a hidden base in the New Orleans area. The loquacious 345 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.079 pilot was openly hostile to President Kennedy for failing to 346 00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:00.079 commit American military might against Castro. On one occasion, the 347 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.200 speech he was giving before New Orleans Chapter of Military 348 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.240 Order World Wars turned into a diatribe against Kennedy. For 349 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:09.640 a double cross of Invasion Force. Of the Invasion Force, 350 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:13.039 several members walked out, and the chairman abruptly adjourned the meeting. 351 00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:18.759 During this period, the conspicuous ferry was frequently noticed by 352 00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.640 the New Orleans Cuban colony in the company of Sergei 353 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.720 Arcacha Smith, local director of the Anti Castro Cuban Democratic 354 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:34.000 Revolutionary Front. New Orleans Police intelligence records reflected states at 355 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.400 the Washington Post said that the front was a legitimate 356 00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:39.680 in nature. It was legitimate in nature and presumably had 357 00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:44.160 the unofficial sanction of the CIA. The Lake Pontatrain waterfront, 358 00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.319 near Arcacha's home, seems to have become a focus for 359 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:51.640 mysterious meetings. Various Garrison witnesses claimed to have seen ferry there, 360 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:54.240 as well as an exchange of money between Oswald and Shaw. 361 00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:59.519 All right, let me comment on that real quick. So 362 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.240 the Lake Ponta train training camp, I've read a lot 363 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:05.920 of stuff on it, and none of it is conclusive 364 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:09.839 in any way, none of his firsthand. But what appears 365 00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:13.519 to have happened there is that. Well, let me start 366 00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:15.880 with Jerry Hemming. Jerry Hemming said that that camp never 367 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:18.119 got off the ground and they were just kind of 368 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.279 planning it when they got shut down. I also read 369 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:27.000 that it was just a warehouse that was storing stuff 370 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.200 there that was rated and the FBI took all that stuff. 371 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:39.000 I can find no definitive evidence that there was ever 372 00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:42.319 any actual training going on there, and the limited evidence 373 00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:46.119 that we do have would indicate that they were planning 374 00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:49.359 for something. There had storage for weapons there, but it 375 00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:54.839 never actually had any training going on. So that would 376 00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:57.319 draw in to question a lot of the witness stuff, 377 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:02.079 especially here that says money was exchanged between Shawan and Oswald. Okay, 378 00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:05.039 so who would be training here connected to Jerry Hemming 379 00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:07.920 and all those guys maybe you know our Trio or 380 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:12.319 notorious Trio Hall Howard Seymour, right, And so that draws 381 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:16.279 into question the sighting here of Oswald and shaw Not 382 00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:18.680 to say that I don't believe Oswald and shaw ever interacted. 383 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:20.519 I think they did at some point because of the 384 00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:25.319 statements of Lillian Moratt, but that's another story. So yeah, 385 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:28.079 the Lake Ponche Train can't find really anything definitive on it. 386 00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:31.359 If anybody out there can find anything definitive on or 387 00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:34.279 names it's associated with people who say they trained out there. 388 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:38.480 Please let me know and we'll continue on. By nineteen 389 00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:42.480 sixty three, Arcacha apparently had been deposed as front director 390 00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:45.440 for he had moved to Houston in sixty two and 391 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:47.759 was living there at the time of the assassination in 392 00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:53.119 nineteen sixty four. I don't think that's accurate. I don't 393 00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:54.480 know if that's accurate. I'll have to check, because I 394 00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:56.359 know Garrison tracked him down. He was living in Dallas, 395 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.640 and Frank Nagy he was also living in Dallas. A 396 00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:03.519 lot of people were living in Dallas, so I'll have 397 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:05.240 to double check on that. But I do know he 398 00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:06.799 did live in Houston at some point and he worked 399 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:08.880 for a hotel there. I had contacted the hotel to 400 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:13.079 see if they had any records on him, and they 401 00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:15.599
