- Why James Angleton was the CIA's Liaison with Israel
Tucker Carlson discusses the JFK assassination in this recent interview: (3:40) Tucker Carlson: I just hope that we get mass disclosure going back to at least 1963. We still don't have the full corpus of the Kennedy assassination documents. Why is that? Every reference to Israel was redacted. Why are there references to Israel in the Kennedy assassination documents? There are -- fact. What is that? All of this stuff should be declassified. There's no national security pretext to hide it. No, what they're hiding are their own crimes. And so, until that stuff is declassified, we can't answer these questions, but it could easily be, and I hope at some point we will have a president who's brave enough, who's willing to die for this. He's going to need to be willing to die to improve his country, that's that is the basic prerequisite of leadership. Carlson is referring to the Church Committee testimony of James Angleton which did have references to Israel redacted. Jefferson Morley discussed this with Carlson back in February 2025. Jefferson Morley: Yeah. I mean, the problem that they have is that I don't have a conspiracy theory, so the label of conspiracy theorist just doesn't apply. And the other thing is, you know, nobody can deny the stuff that I'm talking about. Let me mention another JFK document that's very important, and I think will interest you. One of the things that's withheld and is in the JFK collection right now is the testimony of James Angleton in 1975 to the Church Committee about the Israeli nuclear program. This is a 113-page document, and it's heavily redacted to this day, and the redactions clearly pertain to Israel. Now, is this an assassination related document? Absolutely. The Assassination Records Review Board said this is a assassination-related document. It meets the statutory definition, okay. If the President and this effort are serious, that testimony will be declassified because Angleton controlled the Oswald file on the one hand, and he was a contact with the Israelis on the other. So it belongs in the public record. That's another test of -- is this a serious effort? Morley was wrong about the document. The ARRB reviewed it in 1998 and decided that large parts of it were not relevant to the JFK assassination. Angleton's testimony is now totally unredacted and here is some of what Angleton said about Israel: Angleton's interest in Israel started after the war when there were thousands of displaced Jews waiting to go to Palestine. His interest was in counter-intelligence. And one of the jewels of the relationship was that Israel acquired Khrushchev's speech about Stalin, and then passed it on to the Americans. Here is what was going on in Europe after World War II, and this provides an overview of the concept and organization called the Brichah, This CIA document goes over the relationship between American intelligence and the Brichah: The Americans referred to their liaison with the Brichah as Project Symphony. There were strains in the relationship between the Brichah and the American intelligence services, largely because they had different goals. It started to unwind in July 1946. But the document explains fully why Angleton 'retained control" of the liaison with Israel: This book has a good deal on the relationship between Angleton and Israel: It is unfortunate that the CIA redacted the testimony of Angleton. There was probably no need and it has just encouraged people to think the worst. Angleton had legitimate counter-intelligence interests in working with displaced Jews and with Israel -- and it made perfect sense for him to handle the Israel file.

- Did Abraham Bolden Try to Contact the Warren Commission?
An important part of Abraham Bolden's story is that he tried to contact the Warren Commission to tell them about Secret Service deficiencies and the supposed plot against JFK in Chicago. But did Bolden actually try to contact the Warren Commission? In May 1964, Bolden held a press conference at his home in Chicago. Here is what he said about contacting the Warren Commission: Chicago Daily News, May 20, 1964 Bolden said that two weeks earlier, he had told another agent "I'm going before the Warren Commission and tell about the drinking and disappearance of the (Secret Service) agents from their posts while they were guarding President Kennedy in Hyannis Port." Notice that he said nothing about a plot in Chicago. And Bolden did not identify that agent. He also said he was going to appear before the Warren Commission: Chicago Daily News, May 20, 1964 However Abraham Bolden's story changed in his 2009 book, The Echo from Dealey Plaza: The true story of the first African American on the White House Secret Service detail and his quest for justice after the assassination of JFK: (page 72 of the Kindle edition) When I'd arrived in Washington, D.C., on May 17, Agent McLeod and I had walked to a small coffee shop and had sandwiches. On the way back to the Willard Hotel, where we were staying, I decided to call the White House switchboard. I needed to contact J. Lee Rankin, counsel for the Warren Commission, but I didn't know how. I needed to let some member of the commission know that I was interested in giving testimony as to my observations and complaints about past Secret Service agent conduct. This is the first mention in Bolden's book that he was interested in talking with the Warren Commission. He claims he didn't know how to reach the Warren Commission. Calling the White House is not unreasonable, but why did he not make contact with anybody at the Commission? Later in his book, Bolden tells a story of a television journalist who visits him at his home to ask him about JFK: (page 102 in the Kindle edition) “I can't let you in because my wife and children are asleep, and I wouldn't want to appear on television looking like this anyway,” I said, cutting him off. “I would like for you to tell me who brought up the Kennedy thing. Yeah, I talked to some agents about testifying before the Warren Commission. I want to know how you found out.” Bolden then wrote that he "talked to some agents about testifying before the Warren Commission." Here is an interesting paragraph from Bolden's written statement to the Luna Committee: I had made the decision to tell the truth so I could do my job. If not, I couldn’t live with myself. But in January of 1964, the Secret Service made a move that was wrong, in that there had been reports of people in the group of the assassins in Dallas who had Secret Service identification. The Secret Service Chief recalled all of the Secret Service agents’ identification, and they made new identification books. I had heard that that there was some truth to the fact that some people had obtained credentials and were part of the assassination team. So, I decided to take time off and pay my way to Washington, D.C., where the Warren Commission was meeting and tell them the truth. Now Bolden says he "heard that there was some truth to the fact that some people had obtained credentials and were part of the assassination team." Wow, he never said that in 1964 and that is not in his book. He also claims that he took time off to go to Washington which is not the story he tells in his book. I find it curious that Bolden had about six months, before his arrest, to contact the Warren Commission. He did nothing. And now we are supposed to believe that he was arrested only after he decided to come forward. I think it is clear that Bolden only came forward after he was arrested, and that was to divert attention from his arrest. Bolden's lawyer made the decision that he should not testify before the Warren Commission: And so the Warren Commission wanted to hear from Bolden. In addition, the FBI report said this: But if Bolden believed there was a plot against JFK in Chicago, wouldn't that be relevant information about Kennedy's assassination in Dallas? Bolden never told the Warren Commission or the FBI about any supposed connections between Chicago and Dallas. He didn't tell the press about these connections in 1964. He didn't say one word about the Chicago plot until 1967. What kind of patriot would decide to NOT tell the Warren Commission or the FBI about a prior plot against JFK, and then hide that knowledge for three years? One last comment. Bolden did face some racial discrimination in the Chicago office. Some of the other agents in the office commented on that to the HSCA. But that doesn't mean that the fraud charges were not warranted. I have a lot of documentation on the case against Bolden, but I really haven't had the time to go into it in detail.
