A Rich Man's Trick

[Tom Scully]

.....There's a whole set of people who are only important because they relate to George de Mohrenschildt, and the reason we're researching them is because we're trying to find out more about George de Mohrenschildt. So, we need to represent that. That's easy too......

Brian,

Oswald is only important because Gerry Ford sez he was, and Gerry Ford was a man of his word!

....After a deluded gunman assassinated President Kennedy, our nation turned to Gerald Ford and a select handful of others to make sense of that madness. And the conspiracy theorists can say what they will, but the Warren Commission report will always have the final definitive say on this tragic matter. Why? Because Jerry Ford put his name on it and Jerry Ford's word was always good…."

I have to disagree. Oswald - DeMohrenschildt - Devine seems the most interesting chain, but Devine does not even
channel exclusively through DeMohrenschildt, which is what I find most fascinating about the Hooker Devine Bush "folder". Devine comes in several other flavors. He arrives at M.I.T. to bunk in the Sigma Chi frat house with 16 others. One is Garry Coit. Weeks later, Coit leaves temporarily for US Navy radio school. Two weeks after that, Devine and another of the 17 leave temporarily for US Navy radio school. This is described in the 1945 edition of their frat newsletter, "Beaver Sig".

1962, Garry Coit is assigned as Priscilla Johnson CIA contact. He conducts two days of interviews with her at the end of January, 1964, weeks after the assassination. The following year, he sends her a good-bye letter, informing her who her new CIA contact would be. She told either the HSCA or the ARRB she was unaware he was CIA. She also said she had no CIA contact known to her. She put Marina in fall 1964 twice in the hospitality of her first cousin, "CIA man" David C. Davenport.

In 1973, after much criticism for allowing Howard Hunt access to classified state department cables of period when Diem was assassinated in Vietnam without verifying Hunt's clearance and Hunt was caught forging one of the cables to implicate JFk in Diem's murder, William B. Macomber, Jr., best man in Bush's sister's 1946 wedding is sent to Turkey to distance him from congressional inquiry. Macomber comes back to the U.S. from his new ambassadorial assignment in Turkey to serve as best man in Tom Devine's wedding on Jupiter Island.

I notice one of your new friends was asking about this. I was banished by him, falling out of disfavor after defending one who disagreed with and was targeted (demonized, complete with a devil's horns caricature) by his confident circle.

1960, Macomber had been in charge of the Department of State security office and was former OSS, CIA and chief of staff of Warren Commission and bonesman, John Sherman Cooper. Before State Security, he had been CIA liason to State Dept. and a close aide of John Foster Dulles. He married Phyllis Bernau, Dulles's personal secretary. Here he is asking about defectors which included Oswald, and Otepka is a subject of a hand written note. So, both Macomber and Otepka had early awareness of Oswald.

In view of what we now know about William Butts Macomber Jr.; that he was a close friend of Prescott Bush, his son-in-law Alexander Ellis, Bush cousin Harry Walker, and of Thomas J. Devine, it seems even more important to point out that he was aware of Oswald's name and background in 1960. Macomber either commissioned the "survey" of defection statistics, or was one of a small group of principals who requested it. Doesn't it seem convenient, in the scheme of the subsequent chain of events, that this "study" was undertaken?

Joan Mellen wrote about the background of the document displayed above, but did not mention Macomber's name in her essay, only in her notes:[/URL]

Aside from being a board member of Bush's A.U.V. secret society member Godfrey A. Rockefeller's sister Marion Stone's husband Robert's Stonetex petroleum co., founded in 1950, I thought the other reason Tom Devine was such a trusted insider was because his grandmother was first cousin of John D. Rockefeller III's wife Blanche Hooker's father.

Thomas J. Devine's maternal grandmother was the first cousin of John D. Rockefeller III's wife's father. (Note that he is buried in same cemetery as Devine's mother and grandmother.) :

Brian, please contrast (weigh) these details, vs. speculation over a photo that looks like Bush leaning against the TSBD or standing on Elm St. in front of the stopped press bus. Recall that I linked North's "CIA courier" fresh out of Quayle's office with no related experience or track record, suddenly a key intel operative with a daddy who was employed by Godfrey Stillman Rockefeller as his lobbyist and company spokesman for 39 years.

I post the description and first page of Oswald's boat to Europe bunkmate, Billy Lord, implicating Bush and tying him to one of
Bush's closest friends, Fitzgerald Bemiss. Reader's Digest Henry Hurt was the person Lord accused of using "Bush Jr.'s" name
as part of a threat to Lord's continued employment. I found that Bemiss was related to Hurt's wife who was the niece of Freeport
Sulphur's chairman, Langbourne Williams. Williams used Jock Whitney's money to accomplish a hostile takeover of Freeport.

Gale Allen generated a CIA document that states that Devine read Bush in to some details of the secret OP, Wubriny, a component'of which was interviewing DeMohrenschildt, and under this OP, Devine had at least four contacts with DeMohrenschildt
in April-May, 1963. Prescott Bush invited Macomber to JFK's senate oath swearing ceremony.

I cannot emphasize enough that the purpose of seeking and presenting these details is to use the odds that there is too much presented for it to all be dismissed as coincidence, to pressure certain folks into deliberating whether to leave all this unaddressed and go out with "Jerry Ford was a man of his word, blah, blah, blah....." or to choose another option.
I like to think I have much less to lose than Dan Rather did, and I can prove what I present, and he could not quite get there.

Can you post with a straight face that GHW Bush is not at the center of all of these connections, from Edward Gordon Hooker to
Devine? I am not an Oswald advocate, but in a real sense, Oswald is what Gerry Ford and GHW Bush, et al, were trying to sell us.
I want to influence their legacies so as to wrap their Oswald accusations and related narrative as an albatross around their necks.
They don't have to be laid out next to Oswald to become history's Nick Beef's.
