Ever.

Are you disputing that CIA had infiltrated Major Media in programs like MOCKINGBIRD and in less formal ways?

How peculiar.
Then you missed this part of MOCKINGBIRD:


Quote:
In 2007 a CIA report was declassified that is titled the Family Jewels.[12] Compiled by the CIA in 1973, it refers to a Project Mockingbird and describes a wiretap of journalists. The report was compiled at the request of then CIA director James R. Schlesinger.

According to the report:

Project Mockingbird, a telephone intercept activity, was conducted between 12 March 1963 and 15 June 1963, and targeted two Washington based newsmen who, at the time, had been publishing news articles based on, and frequently quoting, classified materials of this Agency and others, including Top Secret and Special Intelligence.[13]

The wiretap was authorized by CIA director John A. McCone, "in coordination with the Attorney General (Mr. Robert Kennedy), the Secretary of Defense (Mr. Robert McNamara), and the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (Gen. Joseph Carroll)." [13]

An internal CIA biography of McCone by CIA Chief Historian David Robarge, made public under an FOIA request, identified the two reporters as Robert Allen and Paul Scott.[14] Their syndicated column, "The Allen-Scott Report," appeared in as many as three hundred papers at the height of its popularity.[15]
For the grownups in the room, MOCKINGBIRD was detailed in the declassified report known as "The Family Jewels" from the CIA, and you can download the PDF here, but be warned - it's a huge document:

Lisa Pease said on twitter she has evidence that Walter Tew himself dug a bullet out of a wall in the Ambassador Hotel and initialed it. Dan Moldea had previously made the argument that Walter Tew was just an unqualified cop who could have circled random holes in the wall. More to come soon on November 11 when her new RFK book comes out.

Looking forward to actual evidence from any CTist. I thought you'd left since no CTist has ever been able to overcome the null hypothesis.

Lots of people say stuff on Twitter. Not all of it is true. You do understand that, right?

After 50 years, what possible *evidence* could Lisa Pease have discovered?

A statement from Tew from this past June saying he recalls such a bullet? Where's the bullet? His recollection does not move the needle whatsoever. You need hard evidence at this late date. Memories don't cut it. You do understand that, right?

Dan Moldea's argument for Thane Eugene Cesare's guilt is non-existent. Moldea claims to think the mob killed JFK, so murder confessions must strike a cord with him more than forensic evidence etc. So, his mission is to get Cesare to confess to the murder. But he already knew from Cesare's short interview in *Second Gun* that this guy has hated the Kennedys and joked about how right wing he was. And Cesare had no problem discussing this with Moldea in person, and again joked about being a Kennedy-hating conservative. Was he expecting Cesare to break down crying? To get nervous? If Moldea was knowingly guilty, then he would probably be of the opinion that he did nothing wrong, if not caused good. How do we know that Moldea isn't just displaying a type of arrogance displayed by many criminals?

You could apply that 'logic' to anyone posting here arrogantly pretending to know more about the RFK case than others and just JAQing off.

Then don't use Cesar's demeanor as evidence for innocence?

I'm not saying riots should break out over this little tidbit, but an check out 15:50 of this RFK Tapes podcast episode.

http://rfktapes.com/bonus-follow-the-lies/

http://rfktapes.com/bonus-ep-4-transcript/

BILL: The standard argument against Cesar being the guy who shot Kennedy was that Cesar was supposedly carrying a .38 caliber pistol, while the bullets in Kennedy’s back were from a .22. But Cesar did own a .22. And although he was interviewed the night of the murder, there is no record of anyone inspecting his gun to see what caliber it was, or if it had been fired. But maybe someone did.

DANIEL JENSEN: And the next night at roll call, now remember this is just a bunch of cops sitting around talking, that’s when the discussion came up of the second gun.

BILL: In Zac’s interview with officer Daniel Jensen, Jensen said that he heard other cops talking about extra bullets and about a security guard who had carried a .22.

JENSEN: I don’t remember exactly they found one or two many bullet holes. The guy had a .22, it was a 7 shot or a 9 shot, but there were too many bullet holes.

ZAC: Sirhan’s gun held 8 shots.

JENSEN: So that means if he had 8, they found 10 the way I recall. There were two, too many bullet holes. But remember, I’m hearing all this stuff, locker room talk, and one of the officers was saying that the security guard had a .22 which is an unusual gun to carry and the cops started speculating. You know what, I bet he capped off some rounds.

BILL: This is an extraordinary conversation. Of course, it’s not proof of anything, it’s just, as Jensen says, “locker room talk.” But if this is true, it greatly strengthens the case against Cesar. And if Cesar did it, I can’t tell you why he sounds innocent. Some people are just wired that way. Or maybe someone messed with his mind. The evidence of a second gun is not limited to extra bullets in the door frames, or the suspicions around Gene Cesar. There are wounds in Robert Kennedy that are seriously inconsistent with his position relative to Sirhan. According to the autopsy, the four bullets that struck Kennedy were all fired an inch or two away. Three of them were fired at a steep upward angle. Most reliable witnesses put Sirhan’s gun in front of Kennedy and a foot and a half to three feet away when the shooting started. It is possible that Kennedy turned at the last moment, and it is possible that Sirhan lunged, closing the distance to create a contact shot. But given the existing evidence, I believe it’s near impossible for Sirhan to get four shots into Kennedy’s back at contact range and at a steep upward angle.

Maitre d’ Karl Uecker has said repeatedly that he grabbed Sirhan’s wrist after the first two shots, then wrestled him down to the steam table, where Sirhan began to fire again. Nine other witnesses said they pretty much heard the same thing: two shots, a pause, and then a volley of shots. If all that’s true, where in that sequence can Sirhan fire four shots into the back of Kennedy at a steep upward angle? This one goes right by the police, so I want to credit Dan Moldea for recognizing this problem and trying to deal with it. I just don’t agree with how he solves it.


We already know that Cesare lied about selling the .38 before the assassination, and how easily that was proven wrong. It would just be another lie about carrying a .22 instead of a .38 that night.

Has Dan Moldea only dealt with interrogating financial criminals before dealing with Thane Cesare and Sirhan? I don't think he sees how people with strong political convictions do not care about the lives of their enemies. And plus, any Lone-Assassin Theorist in both Kennedy assassinations would also have to question Moldea's judgement of the JFK case, which he said he believed was a mob hit. He is probably referring to past accounts of murder confessions without scientific evidence. Moldea has gotten criminals to confess before, so he had this weird Moby Dick thing about getting no confession from Cesare. So the fact that Moldea was personally convinced of Cesare's innocence is not evidence of his innocence either. Just like Cesare's demeanor is not evidence of innocence, because he openly dehumanizes not just the Kennedys, but minorities too. Moldea writes for a living, and he openly admits it was just a gut feeling to him after that point.

update: I now believe Scott Enyard has been lying for attention about being in the pantry. Evidence on this case is very scattered so it wasn't until the RFK tapes that Scott Enyard was partially debunked. The FBI Guy just didn't mention in that program that we probably know the exact guy who is in that photograph, who happened to look a little like Enyard's High School Portrait. There were actual photographs that existed and went missing, but Enayrd lied about the photos showing the pantry at the time of the shooting.

Firstly exactly how is a steep angle defined in this context? I've been in kitchens and the table are about waist high, so it should be that much of a stretch to believe that shots to the back are at an upward angle.

This is all idle speculation without much thought processes by those around the scene.
This proves nothing.

So your position is that people are guilty until proven innocent, or does that rule only apply when the people under the microscope are NOT named Sirhan or Oswald?

You are once more relying on a logical fallacy to make your point. In this case, your logical fallacy is SHIFTING THE BURDEN OF PROOF.

I remind you that Sirhan was seized in the pantry with his gun in his hand, still firing the weapon. I remind you that Sirhan was tried and convicted by a jury of twelve. The burden is therefore on you to establish Sirhan's innocence and Cesar's guilt. No one need present evidence of Cesar's innocence.

The burden is entirely yours, and your attempt to rely on the logical fallacy of shifting the burden of proof is evident.

You frequently resort to logical fallacies, so much so that I wonder if you can post a reasoned argument without utilizing logical fallacies.

Doesn't that apply to most everyone? I really don't care about what happens in your life, and I doubt highly you lose any sleep about what's happening in mine. Your point is meaningless.

When he comes here to argue that point, I'll argue that point with him. Until then, I don't lose any sleep over it. You're at this point not attacking Moldea's points, but Moldea himself. That's a logical fallacy by you.

According to whom?

Nobody has suggested it was. You're just introducing another logical fallacy -- this one is called a STRAWMAN. That's where you introduce an argument just to rebut it.

Do you have a point to make? Nobody cares about Moldea's feelings in this case. What's pertinent here is the evidence.

And?

Please explain how a guy with experience interrogating smart people is somehow disqualified to question murderers.

Quote:
I don't think he sees how people with strong political convictions do not care about the lives of their enemies.
Which is why Sirhan shot RFK.


Quote:

So? He never proved it. In 1968 there were a lot of FBI and law enforcement professionals who felt the Mafia was behind 11.22.63, the recently released FBI JFK documents prove this. Their suspicions do no negate their body of work. We can't throw out the Ricco Act because Robert Blakey helped write it while believing the Chicago Mob was behind both JKF and RFK's murder.

If Moldea believed this now then there's a problem because we know who murdered both JFK and RFK.

Quote:

Moldea has gotten criminals to confess before, so he had this weird Moby Dick thing about getting no confession from Cesare. So the fact that Moldea was personally convinced of Cesare's innocence is not evidence of his innocence either.
In the context of 1968, what does this even mean?

How many interrogations have you personally taken part in in your career as a law enforcement officer?

What do you base this statement on other than you disagree with it?

Quote:

The evidence was the gun in Sihan's hand.

This one goes right by the police, so I want to credit Dan Moldea for recognizing this problem and trying to deal with it. I just don’t agree with how he solves it.
Who are the people talking, and why should we care about their discussion?

We know Cesar lied how? It was proven wrong how? Do you have any evidence that would be admissible in a court case?

There were actual photographs that existed and went missing, but Enayrd lied about the photos showing the pantry at the time of the shooting.
Hold on, so a guy who was photographed in the pantry is not believable, even though in Enyard's case it might ACTUALLY SUGGEST CONSPIRACY, but because he disagrees with your theory he is automatically discounted?

Okay.

Here's the LA Times story on his lawsuit, and some real-world fishy stuff going on:

Whatever...

And does this provide concrete evidence to overturn the conviction of Sirhan?

No then why are you clinging to discussion that have been available to decades? I hasn't changed the course of events nor changed the outcome, you are just wrong. JFK, RFK and 9/11 you choose poorly when discussing history.
