Mark Lane, Early Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Theorist, Dies at 89

[Octafish]

78. It was a sad day!

Now let's remember that Mark Lane lives, through our examples of bravery in the face of the Unspeakable.

Because that is what "They" really are, evil warmongering traitors who lie America into wars without end for profits without cease.

Welcome to DU, Mark 750! Here is some of what Mark Lane first raised objections to in regards to the government investigation:

CIA bares the origins of its JFK coverup

Three days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the CIA told his successor Lyndon Johnson that the agency’s sources had just confirmed press reports that accused assassin Lee Oswald had visited the Cuban and Soviet Embassies in Mexico City two months before.

Here’s what the President’s Intelligence Checklist reported on November 25, 1963.



Intentionally or not, the CIA was misleading the new president about what Agency personnel knew of the man accused of killing his predecessor.

The Nov. 25 briefing, released by the CIA with much fanfare on September 16, 2015, informed to the new president that CIA had only learned about Oswald’s contacts with the Cubans and Soviets after Kennedy’s death.

Contemporary news organizations, not well informed about the historical records of JFK’s assassination, found the briefing newsworthy The Washington Times proclaimed the CIA had “confirmed” Oswald’s links to the Soviets and Cubans within days of the assassination. Politico included the November 25 briefing among “13 newly released presidential briefs you’ll want to read.”

In fact, CIA records declassified in the 1990s show that a host of senior CIA operations officers had already learned-and conferred among themselves–aboutvOswald’s foreign contacts six weeks earlier, in early October 1963–when JFK was very much alive.

Here’s the proof: a four page CIA cable about Lee Oswald, dated October 10, 1963. This document was not declassified until 1998.

I met Mr. Morley at the Duquesne conference in 2013. The guy is a top researcher and writer -- no nonsense, just reports the facts -- a real journalist. As long as you, he and more than a few others are working, Democracy stands a real good chance, Mark 750!
