Just listened to Jeff's interview with the San Francisco Experience Podcast. Recent revelations are leading to my contact's confession in "Down the Rathole". Jeff mentions Bill Harvey who my contact George provided to me back in the 1990's. He validated that Harvey was involved. We just received the personnel file of Joanides. If they reveal the travel records and personnel files of Harvey and more importantly David Sanchez Morales, they will find that Morales and Harvey worked out of the Cabana Hotel in Dallas for a 2+ week period before the assassination. Morales and Harvey's files will be much more difficult to get than Joanides.

WOW! More corroboration Morales & Harvey were in Dallas! I believe Morales was, in fact, IN Dealey Plaza at the time of the JFKA. One of my specialties is id'g people in the photo/film record. Years ago - May 2016, according to the metadata on my photo collage - I believe I found Morales in a photo by Jim Murray shot in the aftermath of the assassination. It's of the crowds of people looking for evidence behind and among the cars parked behind the GK stockade fence. He is among the people behind the cars. Sure looks like him! He's wearing a dark hat and a white (or light colored) short sleeved oxford shirt. This guy has has his face/nose and as very skinny forearms - which Morales HAD (i have a comparison photo). His skinny forearms seem disproportionately skinny compared to what a big guy Morales was. Sure wish I could upload photos here! Maybe I can send it to you via your substack, Greg?

And in case anyone doesn't know about this, here's a snip from an article on Kennedy's & King:

"In a story corroborated by both Morales’ lawyer Robert Walton, and lifelong friend Ruben Carbajal, Morales ended an alcohol fueled, anti-JFK tirade by muttering, “Well, we took care of that son of a bitch, didn’t we?” (ibid, pg. 115). Walton, on a separate occasion, paraphrased another of Morales’ concerning comments, one that implicated him (Morales) in both Kennedy brother murders: “I was in Dallas when we got that motherfucker [John Kennedy], and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard [Robert Kennedy].” (RFK Must Die)."

Yes Morales bragged about being at both assassination locales and Braden was arrested at the Dal Tex building and was also in L.A. during RFK. Says a lot. I would be interested in your photo suspicions as well.

What’s Braden’s connection to Morales?

Mark Loebel's avatar

Nothing super direct. Morales was CIA and involved in assassinations and toppling elected governments. In doing so he had connections to anti Castro Cubans and mafia. Braden was a businessman/hood connected to the mob. Therefore they ran with the same crowd. Morales is quoted as bragging he was at both assassination locales. Braden was documented being at both.

This is fascinating information. Where can I learn more about Harvey and Sanchez in Dallas?

Has anyone else noticed that the JFK assassination content on YouTube has been proliferating lately? It's becoming a landslide.

Will the government lone nut narrative come crashing down faster than anyone expects?

It does feel like the case is finally reaching a tipping point. And I hate him on just about everything else he does, but credit to President Trump for making this possible.

While Trump has seemed to try to undermine democracy with his every breath, I believe the truth of the JFK case coming out could make Americans re-embrace its precious founding principles and maybe spark a democratic renaissance in the US and possibly around the world. One guy’s opinion.

Great work! I see that you have incurred the ire of SpyTalk News on this story. Rather than try to explain what happened here between Mr. Joannides and Oswald, they do a diversionary attack on Mr. Morley on other, far less relevant matters. That is a sign that SpyTalk has gotten something very wrong—and that JFK Facts is getting it right. Kudos to you!

SpyTalk has always looked like a PSYOP to me. I wouldn't give them a dime.

This is interesting from the SF Examiner intro:

“DRE baited Oswald in New Orleans to get him to be interviewed on radio and TV 90 days before the JFK assassination.”

I’m not sure where I saw it, but a quote from the WDSU TV and radio station had Bringuier, Oswald and Ed Butler of INCA ALL contacting the NO media outlet following the fracas between LHO and the DRE.

Butler of course was the guy who jumped on a plane the afternoon of the assassination to deliver the video of LHO handling out pro-Castro flyers to the TV networks in DC BEFORE JFK’s body had even arrived that day. That video identified LHO as a Castro supporter to the public in the hours immediately following the assassination.

And not so surprisingly, Edgar and Edith Stern, owners of WDSU radio and television, were members of INCA. Eustis Reily of the Reily Coffee Company, where LHO had worked, personally donated thousands of dollars to INCA.

The goal of the Information Council of the Americas (INCA) was to prevent communist revolutions in Latin America similar to Cuba’s.

And also in my memory - a copy of the radio debate was sent to a ‘Howard’ at the CIA which later used it to tie Castro to the assassination on media across LATAM.

Sure looks like a well-coordinated propaganda effort on all sides with LHO clearly playing the adversarial role. DRE didn’t ‘bait’ him to do it - someone was overseeing his involvement. My guess? ‘Howard’ - Joannides.

And of course, none of this propaganda in NO becomes ‘valuable’ unless and until JFK is killed, making Castro appear to be behind it. To me, this obviously means Joannides’ activities in NO were an essential part of the assassination conspiracy involving the CIA.

Great news Jeff ! Can't wait, Looking forward to it. You did a great job in being persistent to get this file. I hope other members of the public read it and appreciate what this means. There are no statute of limitations on murder....even though the shooters are probably long dead

The Overton window has been splintered into a thousand pieces and scattered to the wind.

On Mark Halperin’s political podcast this past week, he asked a cohost and guest if Kennedy was killed by Oswald and both answered “no” and he affirmed their correct answer.

So, it’s not just the right. Although I think much credit goes to Tucker Carlson when he was on Fox. The truth is breaking out.

Excellent conversation on the San Francisco Experience podcast! Looking forward to your breakdown of the Joannides file.

The question in my mind then is:

Was the CIA trying to make a case that Cuba/Castro was guilty enough that after the assassination, any investigation would need to be shut down to prevent a jump to WW III, as Johnson hinted at to multiple people...

Or were they and the Pentagon *hoping* for an increase in hostilities with Cuba, based on Oswald's supposed motivation?

It can't be both.

I think it is both. They wanted an invasion - and jets were scrambled - but LBJ shut communist conspiracy talk down immediately even contacting the Dallas DA before LHO was killed to not go down that road. Then he got Warren involved in the commission saying we need to avoid WWIII.

Think the real conspirators in the CIA and Pentagon knew they’d win either way. And they did.

What happened to the Harvey and morales records Morley said were part of the fab 5 the cia was to release, along with Diaz Garcia?

I've also requested multiple times that the PTB, especially Rep. Luna, ask for the redacted version of the Family Jewels, the 1973 CIA compendium (800-ish pages), that makes no mention of the Kennedy assassination, but still has FJ #1 and its attendant 7 pages fully redacted.

I'm willing to bet dinner at Jefferson's favorite restaurant that that Jewel contains references to both Morales and Joannides.

That is part of the eternal mystery. My guess is there were competing interests. Once LBJ had the prize, it was in his interest to shut down the Cuba invasion/WWIII so he could enjoy the fruits of the coup. It was easier/less risky to give them Vietnam.

It seems the Cuba angle was dropped so quickly that it becomes difficult to believe there was a great deal of thought behind creating a motive. Possibly, Vietnam was emerging as more important than Cuba.

I wrote the book "Down the Rathole" from a series conversations I had with George Swisher in the 1990's, (not real name because he has kids still alive.) George died in 2004 and I sat on the story until I decided to self publish last year. A successful movie producer loved the book but could not get the financing for it a couple of years ago. George also named the hit teams and among them was Herminio Diaz Garcia who was just recently revealed as a confirmed CIA asset know for assassinations in South America. The operation for the Event was directed by Morales out of hte Miami station. If you want to see George, go to the Spartacus site and search for David Sanchez Morales and look for a picture of Morales while in Laos. Look in the picture for a very tall bald man. That is "George".

What else did he say? If we can’t know his identity, then how can we fit judge him as a source?

Gerald Posner is a poser, a tool of the establishment [coverup] view. The instant I saw his name, I knew what his response would be.

I promised George I would not tell anyone his real name. He has a son and daugter and he said if I spoke his real name during my lifetime they would not hesitate to eliminate me or his family. While I am 72 years old, I will not divulge his name so I understand your hesitation as to what he told me. He told me he worked iwth Morales in South America, Mexico, Laos, and mostly in the Miami office of the CIA. As he did with me, follow the facts that are now coming out and his credibility will become apparent. He was originally from California and his father was in the Army. If Morales's files are ever opened to the public all answers to JFK will be revealed. The book was written years ago and pointers to the Miami group are coming out. He told me Herminio Diaz Garcia was one of the hitmen. He told me that in 1996 and now it comes out that he was a hitman for the CIA. I can only reveal what he told me.
