of the conspirators to have either Shaw—or Permindex—connected to the
JFK assassination conspiracy. But that doesn't mean much to Lambert.
Not surprisingly, Lambert also goes to extraordinary efforts to refute
the idea that Lee Harvey Oswald had any association with CIA contract
operative David Ferrie. On page 61 of her book she describes a photo of
Oswald and Ferrie together at a Civil Air Patrol cookout as something that
"established only an overlap of association with that organization"—another
remarkable linguistic prevarication indeed. However, as a consequence of a
wide variety of long-standing research, coupled with new findings by
independent film producer Daniel Hopsicker (referenced in Appendix
Three), we know for a fact that Oswald and Ferrie were closely associated.
Lambert also claims that there is no "credible" testimony placing
Oswald in association with CIA contract agent Guy Banister. Her use of the
term "credible" is just another way of saying those—including Banister's
own mistress, Delphine Roberts, and her daughter, among others—who did
testify to Oswald's association with Banister just simply can't be believed.
In the end, the Lambert book just simply can't be believed.
ALL NEW DISINFORMATION, CIA-MOSSAD STYLE
The worldwide media has given great play to the release of a new book
that purported to "prove" that it was the Soviet KGB that concocted the
story that the CIA was behind the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
The book purported to be the inside history of the KGB's secret
intelligence operations in the U.S. and Europe The Sword and the Shield by
Professor Christopher Andrew of Cambridge—described as "one of the
world's leading authorities on intelligence history,"—is said to be based on
what are said to be extensive notes and transcriptions (secretly compiled
over a 12 year period) of vast numbers of files from the KGB archives. The
notes themselves were supposedly smuggled out of KGB headquarters and
then to Britain.
According to Andrew, his book is an annotated and supplemented
summary of the files as they were provided by former KGB archivist Vasili
Mitrokhin who retired from the KGB in 1984 and who then defected to
Britain in 1992 after the CIA had rejected Mitrokhin.
Mitrokhin reportedly smuggled his notes drawn from the KGB files out
of the KGB office in his shoes and pockets and then buried them—until his
defection—under the floorboards of his country home.
However, even The Washington Post, which seldom criticizes the
CIA or British intelligence, featured a review of the Andrew book on
December 6, 1999, by veteran intelligence critic David Wise, who comments
that: "A book sponsored by an intelligence agency must be approached
with caution."
One major problem with the Andrew book is that while it is quite
thoroughly footnoted, with hundreds of references to a wide-ranging
amount of material, it is not always clear (actually, more often than not)
whether Andrew is purporting to cite the Mitrokhin archives as his source or
