- Paul returned to Quebec from visiting Dallas, TX & gives an overview of his conference experiences!
- The 2024 conference experience was enhanced by taking the tour of Oswald’s ‘escape’ from the TSBD.
- Paul was able to visit Lee’s rooming house, the backyard on Neely & the Texas Theatre.
- Following Lee’s proposed steps & timeline by the Warren Commission, you realize it was impossible.
- While there were similarities, witnesses of the Tippit murder refused to ID Oswald as the shooter.
- Paul visited Jack Ruby’s Marsala apartment building, noting close proximity to the Texas Theatre.
- Lee & Marina’s prior home on Neely is abandoned & falling apart. Visit while you still can.
- Paul is currently reading ‘Admitted Assassin’ by Brian K. Edwards.
- Why would Lee’s cab driver drop him off six blocks from his boarding house?
- How many times do we have to prove that Kennedy was shot from the front? Expand your research.
- Are we seeing the same puppeteers with the historic political assassinations?
- Len feels there are 2 sorts of researchers, either focused on Dealey Plaza or focused on the big picture.
- This years attendance at the conference was very low for some reason…
- Paul encourages Len to hold a quality JFK event perhaps in New Orleans.
- Len reminisces the Black Op Radio event 2010 at Hawaii, John Armstrong, Mark De Valk, Wes Swearingen attended.
Part II – Paul Bleau, Jeff Crudele, Andrew Iler
- Paul Jeff and Andrew reveal what they discovered at National Archives
- Their website JFK Chokeholds
- The Black Vault – Online Document Archive – The Black Vault
- Mary Ferrell Website
- In 1992 Oliver Stone’s JFK film gained extensive attention & highlighted the withheld documents.
- The American public were outraged that thousands of records were still classified.
- 9C3B of the JFK Records Act imposes a ministerial duty on the ARRB to itemize record inventory.
- The records were specified if they were still to be held as postponed, or with specific release dates.
- In the ARRB’s final report, they were required to set a date for all JFK records being held.
- Andrew often frequents the Mary Ferrell Foundation & The Black Vault when researching.
- Internal ARRB memo of June 1997 mentions huge backlog of records, processing 4+ million records.
- Final determination forms were created for every single record that was archived by the ARRB.
- Paul, Jeff & Andrew met at College Park, MD to go through archived records before the conference.
- The men had goals to work together in order to get as many records copied as possible.
- Andrew went through 12 boxes of archived records without finding any final determination forms.
- On the 13th box, Andrew was relieved finding it full of final determination forms.
- These forms are critical because the ARRB was an independent, high level, federal government agency.
- In essence, these forms are all court orders.
- Archivists have a legal obligation to comply with the ARRB’s final orders.
- The majority of the records have a release date of 2006, yet they remain behind closed doors. Why?
- Paul worked as Andrew’s research assistant searching up RIF #’s while onsite at the archives.
- Neither Trump nor Biden has had the power to postpone JFK assassination records!
- Even the most experienced of archivists have struggles finding JFK documents due to disorganization.
- There should be over 100,000 of the final determination forms but boxes of forms are missing.
- Andrew has requested the final determination forms for JFK files still being held from the public.
- The final determination forms are not indexed, they’re mislabelled & actually filed under subject titles.
- The archivists at College Park, Maryland were all very helpful & professional.
