This is a comment that is on the YouTube video given in the link.
I worked for an emergency door repair service in the year 2000, I got a call to go fix a garage door in a suburb of Memphis Tn.The man who opened the door was a very fit, silver haired guy who looked like a retired executive. He showed me the garage door and stoof by while I repaired it.
I stared making small talk while I work. I asked him what kind of work he did and he told me he was a retired FBI agent. Not only that, he said he was over the entire southeastern division of the FBI.
So I decided to make a joke and I asked him since he was a FBI agent, maybe he could tell me who killed Kennedy.
He looked at me and without missing a beat said, Lyndon Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover had him killed.
I was speechless. I thought, this guy is nuts.
Well I didn't say a whole lot more until I went in his study so he could write me a check. I looked around and his walls were covered with diplomas and pictures of the guy at the FBI academy and with politicians, Lamar Alexander was one.
I said, look I just have to ask you something. He stopped me and said, you don't believe it,do you?
He knew what I was going to say.
He said, do you have time for a cup of coffee? I said, I'll make time. We went into kitchen and he made me a cup of sanka instant coffee and proceeded to tell me the whole story. It took about 30-40 minutes. After I left, I went home and told my wife and forgot about it for 18 years.
Then I saw a thing on YouTube and there was a writer selling a book about Johnson, Hoover and Kennedy.
The guy said exactly what the FBI guy said to me 18 years before. The guy who wrote the book was Roger Stone.
I was totally blown away.
Now, I know some people will say, why would a retired FBI agent tell me, a nobody, these things?
That's a good question, I don't know why he did.
Maybe he felt like getting it off of his chest.
But what I'm saying is the truth.
He went into some details that I don't feel like writing about. That day I lost all confidence in our government.
Yeah I would tell a garage door repairman all about the Kennedy assassination.
But my favorite is the guy was told a lot more details he “doesn’t feel like writing about”.
Sure, I mean, why bother.
I’m not an expert on Angleton, although I’ve heard about him plenty over the years.
He was puzzle-obsessed, as I understand it. Like the people who were hired by the British to work at Bletchley Park during WWII, as codebreakers.
I know he eventually unhinged his own mind with all his hall-of-mirrors stuff.
I think Tom Clancy mentions his story in at least one of his novels.

Fair enough. I can't vouch for his honesty.
Take it for what it's worth.
Yes, that’s it...Why when the years go by do we have more trouble remembering names than anything else? Actors/movies/books/TV shows. I drive myself crazy trying to remember BUT whatever it is will come to me a few minutes later or in the middle of the night!!
Dates don’t seem to be a problem - family or friend birthdays etc. Who can forget 12/7/41, 11/22/63 or 9/11/2001?
Thanks...
He’s not as nice to look at as Rebecca De Mornay.
So, the Warren Commission report, what’s your take on that ? Gospel or Fairy Tale ?
Btw there are a ton of new Angleton documents in the recently released JFK files.
Among them were the unredacted testimony he gave to a Senate Committee in the mid 1970s in which he basically admitted he defied JFK and helped Israel get the atomic bomb.
While some of us “conspiracy theorists” had been claiming this for years after Seymour Hersch wrote his book on the Israeli nuclear program it is now a “conspiracy fact”.
If you want to go deeper down that rabbit hole you have to go back to World War II when Angleton was working for military intelligence in Italy and created a quid pro quo with Jews fleeing Europe. He helped them escape but in return got to use them as future intelligence assets.
As a result Angleton and future Mossad leadership had a close personal relationship which predated both the 1947 founding of the CIA and the creation of the state of Israel.
Angleton has a statue in his honor in Israel:
Bottom line: If the JFK assassination seems like a ridiculously complex “hall of mirrors” with a whole bunch of totally legitimate suspects that is at least partially due to the machinations of Angleton. It has his “touch”.
Joe Pesci. I believe TLJ played Guy Bannister
I never heard that he made it to Cuba.
A person identifying himself as Lee Harvey Oswald tried to get a Cuba visa in Mexico City, but was turned away at the Cuban Embassy. There is some doubt that this person was actually Oswald, as I understand it.
As to the the Walker assassination, it’s strange, and I can’t explain it. I just don’t know what it means, other than that Oswald was a hard-core communist. Maybe he was.
I see. Thanks for the Angleton history, which I didn’t know.
There were also tendrils of WWII history between the Mafia, the Kennedy family, and Joe Kennedy’s no-holds-barred efforts to push JFK over the finish line in 1960.
Didn’t the Israelis launch their nuclear bomb program with U-235 enriched fuel stolen from the US or Canada? I can’t remember. Was it destined for the Shippingport Atomic Power Station?
I do not know the technical details of the Israeli program.
The mob connection also goes all the way back to World War II Italy—where Angleton worked with them as well.
Angleton has ties to all the players—and is one of the very few individuals who had the means, motive and opportunity to plan and execute the details of the assassination and the coverup which followed.
Wow. Interesting how pulling out all the stops to fight a “total war” had such far-reaching, and cataclysmic, consequences. We still feel them today.
Joe Pechi.
Yup—key to the concept of a Deep State are informal networks of trust—and of course trust takes many years to develop.
These folks had worked together for two decades.
Correct—now I remember.
Pesci was awesome.
It was the Continuum of Intergalactic Aliens.
I guess the battles of WWII continued to be fought for 35 years after 1945, if not longer.
Our current problems with North Korea, for example, are echoes of WWII.
Ha ha! Very good!
