JFK

You may want to go here and scroll down to a post titled "Email from Gordon Novel." There's a comment from me. I will comment no further on the matter, here or in private, except to say that the "confession" letter does indeed exist. Seek and ye shall find.

Hmmm ... I searched the Mary Ferrell site for this letter but I couldn't find it. Do you have a url? I asked Mr. Novel a few questions via email but haven't heard back from him.

Whether from the Senate side (Gary Hart was involved there) or the House Select Committee on Assassinations (forget which just now), one of them had a good laugh when someone claiming to be 'The Umbrella Man' showed up with what was supposedly his umbrella. (He operated it up and down and nothing unusual happened; it appeared to be a standard umbrella. Haha, those wacky conspiracy theorists, shown up again!)

The laughter later seemed misplaced or deliberate obfuscation when a) the ribbing of the displayed umbrella didn't match the ribbing shown in 'the umbrella man's' pictures/video and b) Agency plans for the creation of several air-powered poison-flechette umbrellas were discovered by the Church committee.

GN was not the Umbrella Man. The only person who ever accused him of being the Umbrella Man was a conspiracy theorist named R.B. Cutler, who -- sweartagod -- once told me that some of his best theories came to him via ESP. Nobody in the JFK community has ever told RB that is a silly-billy, because he has money.
