In reply to the discussion: JFK Conference: Dan Hardway Detailed how CIA Obstructed HSCA Investigation [View all]Octafish
(55,745 posts)8. People at Duquesne asked Jefferson Morley and David Talbot about Los Angeles...
...They said their follow up on the story determined it definitely was not Morales, Campbell or Joannides at the Ambassador Hotel that awful night. They re-iterated their 2006 report: The BBC's Flawed RFK Story. Others -- people who did not present at the conference -- however, say it was them.
I don't know. I do want to know more about it.
What I know: Morley and Talbot are tops in every way.
What I took away: Applying the best in photoanalytical technology may reveal new information. Improvements in technology may even yield a definite answer.
The Joannides story is most complicated. Here's an excellent overview from International Business Times -- of all places:
JFK Assassination: First JFK Conspiracy Theory Was Paid For By The CIA
Analysis
By Joseph Lazzaro
International Business Times on December 05 2013 2:23 PM
Less than one day after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, a Central Intelligence Agency-funded organization in Miami published a special edition of its monthly magazine in which it linked the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, to Cuban President Fidel Castro.
According to JFKFacts.org moderator Jefferson Morley, this was the first JFK assassination conspiracy theory to reach the public in print.
SNIP...
Also, earlier, in August 1963, Joannidess AMSPELL (CIA codename for DRE) had a series of encounters with a Castro supporter named Oswald in New Orleans. The Cuban students confronted and publicized Oswalds one-man chapter of the pro-Castro Fair Play for Cuba Committee, which generated newspaper, radio and TV coverage of Oswalds obscure, tiny political action group.
Hence, two objective facts stemming from the above are:
1) Joannides was running psychological warfare operations aimed at discrediting Castro supporters in the United States in the summer of 1963.
2) Members of Joannides AMSPELL network played a leading role in publicizing Oswalds pro-Castro views both before and after Kennedy was assassinated.

The documentary record shows CIA obstruction regarding Joannides, from the Warren Commission, to the HSCA, to the ARRB to then-WaPo reporter Jefferson Morley.
The reason all of this still matters half a century later should be obvious: Justice demands the Truth.

OP
It's hard to argue against facts, so have a little sympathy for those who try so hard to distract

I suppose, but it's a bit futile to try to hide facts because they have a way of surfacing even if

It's no wonder the CIA/former OSS team would obsfucate, obstruct and obliterate the HSCA
