Oeditpus Rex.
Oeditpus Rex is my oldest social media friend -- dating back to about 1996. The ACLU had a chat room (uncensored) on AOL.
He was here, mostly in the lounge, later.

(15,943 posts)So during the team Figure Skating events, a couple skated to a song by Shawn Phillips. I remembered Shawn from the 70's and he was from Fort Worth my hometown.
I was curious if it was the same Shawn Phillips (indeed it is) but what caught my attention is this: Shawn is the nephew of CIA officer David Atlee Phillips.
From David's wiki:
House Select Committee on Assassinations
While investigating Lee Harvey Oswald's possible ties to certain pro- and anti-Castro radical groups around the time of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the HSCA obtained statements from then virulently anti-Castro paramilitary organization Alpha 66 founder Antonio Veciana that Oswald had met on several occasions with a CIA operative known as "Maurice Bishop".
After one former CIA case officer (who had been assigned to the JM/WAVE station in Miami) stated to investigators that Phillips had been known to use the alias, the commission attempted to see if Veciana could identify Phillips as being "Bishop". Veciana insisted that he was not the same person and moreover that he had never met Phillips before either. Some committee members (and also lead investigator Gaeton Fonzi) doubted Veciana, reasoning that he should have at least recognized Phillips, a high-profile officer so heavily involved in Cuban operations.
In 2014, at a conference named The Warren Report and the JFK Assassination: Five Decades of Significant Disclosures, Veciana reversed his previous statements, asserting unequivocally that he believed that the agent he knew as Bishop had in fact been David Atlee Phillips.
