JFK Conference: Dan Hardway Detailed how CIA Obstructed HSCA Investigation

[bobthedrummer]

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

What facts are known about some of the individuals and operations that came out of the OSS and became part of the CIA after its foundation in 1947?
Let's take a peek at the Mexican and Southern Cone region. E. Howard Hunt set up the CIA's Mexico Station after WWII, he was its Station Chief for awhile. Many say that E. Howard Hunt was Acting Mexico Station Chief during the meeting in Mexico City discussed upthread. Enough for now about the late Mr. Hunt, except that he was very active in the region of Mexico and the Southern Cone (where many former Nazis were being relocated to battle the former USSR and communism with the full aid of the CIA).

C. Tracy Barnes was OSS, he is a prime player in any discussion about why the CIA would stonewall the HSCA. His Wikipedia entry is very slim.

Barnes was CIA Chief of Station in London during the mid-late 50's-his Spartacus Schoolnet is a bit more informative.

Barnes recruited Richard Case Nagell when Barnes was working CIA Domestic Operations.
Dick Russell wrote a book about Nagell "The Man Who Know Too Much", James DiEugenio reviewed that book and added some further information.

Well it's a well established fact that the CIA was assassinating leaders, and that Fidel Castro was a prime target, and that the CIA was negotiating with OC to do the deed (especially with the Chicago, New Orleans and Miami "families&quot .

It's also a fact that the Warren Commission was loaded with CIA members starting with Allen Dulles and people like John J. McCloy (who had an "intelligence" career largely protecting/recruiting Nazis). Enough about Dulles and McCloy. Lets get back to Tracy Barnes.
The Federation of American Scientists have some interesting papers written by Barnes and others active in "influencing" Cuban history.

Of course the Mary Ferrell Foundation is also a woderful resource for those that love the truth.

One final link to this contribution to this thread, my friend-it's about the guy that became an executive at Bell Aviation-and sure sold a lot of helicopters for them--and one of the little guys at Bell that just happened to have been introduced to the Oswald's by Mr. deMohrenschildt (nobody could possibly make this stuff up-no wonder some folks do get waylaid by CT, which was a specialty of Tracy Barnes when he worked in what later became PSY-OP's).
