I continued my research into the supposed visit of Oswald, Shaw and Ferrie to Clinton, Louisiana. Here is documented proof that Oswald could not have been there.
Clay Shaw's attorneys tried to get help from Washington. But they were turned down by the FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department. This ten-part series covers new ground and presents material from an unpublished chapter by author Patricia Lambert.
The setting in New Orleans
The DOJ is told not to get involved. The FBI follows suit.
Ed Wegmann goes to Washington.
The CIA gets involved.
Wegmann goes back to Washington with Irvin Dymond.
Wegmann files a civil rights complaint with the Department of Justice.
Wegmann files a forty-five-page complaint in the U.S. District Court in New Orleans.
Clay Shaw's Acquittal; New Charges; and Wegmann Goes Back to the Department of Justice.
The new Department of Justice, under President Nixon, considers Shaw's new civil rights complaint.
Conclusion -- and a case study in how a conspiracy theorist gets it wrong on Clay Shaw.
I covered Jefferson Morley's testimony before the Luna Sub-Committee:
An analysis of Congresswoman Luna's Congressional Hearings
An FBI memo that quoted James Angleton is used by Morley to reach an unwarranted conclusion.
Morley misreads Angleton's testimony before the HSCA.
Morley believes a document proves the CIA did not believe that a lone gunman killed JFK.
Additional documents relevant to Part Three.
Morley claims that there is some connection between the suicides of Gary Underhill, Charles Thomas, George de Mohrenschildt, and the overdose death of Dorothy Kilgallen.
Morley believes that Agustin Guitart was spying on pro-Castro forces in New Orleans
And, I covered all of Jefferson Morley's nothingburgers:
How many times must Morley repeat this story?
It wasn't hard to find evidence that Charles Niles worked for the FAA.
The truth about FAA credentials.
A rebuttal to Good regarding Ruth Paine.
Morley presents several conspiratorial allegations about Ruth Paine.
I don't even have law degree!
A new CIA file on Herminio Diaz does not sustain allegations that he was a grassy knoll gunman.
Richard Russell always believed that Oswald was the lone gunman.
An article by Chad Nagle, on Morley's Substack, gets it wrong on Hoover's testimony.
My latest article for Quillette.com
The recent segment on CBS about Morley and JFK documents was not journalism.
Morley's list of six CIA operations do not prove that Oswald was under surveillance.
Morley claims the SpyTalk authors are working as pro bono lawyers for the CIA.
The CIA was just quoting from a State Department memo.
SpyTalks replies to Jefferson Morley.
Gerald Posner on the Joannides' file.
Fact Checking Morley's Fact Check
Morley's Fact Check on SpyTalk needs a fact check.
Gus Russo and Michael Isikoff on the Joannides' personnel file.
Now that the entire personnel file of George Joannides has been released, Jefferson Morley has now published his unified theory of nothingness.
More Morley Nothingburgers on the way
Morley is requesting more documents -- they will reveal nothing about the assassination.
Morley got the headlines he wanted to a complete non-story.
Joannides did not come out of retirement to work with the HSCA.
There is no mention of an "Oswald Operation" in the Joannides' personnel file.
Morley believes that Dr. Robert McClelland's recollections provides proof of a shot from the front. Here is the truth about McClelland.
A reply by Nicholas Nalli to Jefferson Morley.
Morley suspected a redacted file would reveal major secrets. It didn't.
Several months ago, I posted an article, in association with several researchers, that showed what was contained in the redacted section of Schlesinger's memo.
Morley somehow knows what is in the supposed 2,400 recently-discovered FBI files.
Morley discusses Israel with Tucker Carlson.
Morley believes that the United States can never be great unless it solves the JFK assassination.
An analysis of the 13 documents Morley wants to see.
Morley claims I am a CIA apologist and then misquotes me.
Here is the truth about Victor Marchetti who is so often quoted by conspiracy theorists:
He wrote for a homophobic newspaper.
An examination of the hoax that implicated E. Howard Hunt in the JFK assassination.
Marchetti said that Clay Shaw was a domestic contact of the CIA.
I wrote a series of posts about the Parkland doctors:
A in-depth look at Dr. McClelland.
Sitzman, who was standing right behind Abraham Zapruder, thoughts the shots came from the TSBD and that she clearly saw Kennedy's head wound over the right ear.
Stringer was very clear that he took the photographs of JFK's brain.
Attending physicians often make mistakes in determining the nature of gunshot wounds. Should we care what the Parkland doctors think?
A look at what the Parkland doctors wrote and what they said.
The Boston Globe interviewed some of the Parkland doctors in 1981.
A 1992 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association has some interesting comments from a few of the Parkland doctors.
An interesting interview with Dr. Robert McClelland.
And I covered the crazy story of Eugene Dinkin:
Articles about Eugene Dinkin on DiEugenio's webpage are full of nonsense.
Dinkin's story from 1964 about his interpretation of various newspapers.
A Garrison investigator spoke to Dinkin in 1968.
Dinkin sued the U. S. government in 1975.
Dinkin writes the HSCA three times with his evidence.
Russell interviewed Dinkin in 1975.
Lots more coming in 2026 -- at least one trip to the National Archives for more documents, but I won't be blogging as much. I have a book to finish and I want to focus on that for the time being.
