The idea that Lee Harvey Oswald was some unknown quantity to CIA officers was false," Morley said. "There was this incredible high-level attention to Oswald on the eve of the assassination." Professor Blakey’s hands shook slightly as he spoke to the group gathered for dinner on Saturday night. He confessed that he had trusted the CIA too much.

He has been masterful at merchandising and marketing his Royal lineage. Being missing in action from a major family event dilutes his brand. Morley does not suggest the Joannides files point to agency involvement in the assassination itself, but more likely that their release would show the CIA trying to keep secret its own flawed performance before the assassination. G. Robert Blakey: I have seen nothing to change my mind, though I am less confident of the acoustical result today in light of other analyses of it. The other evidence in the plaza, however, still points to two shooters no matter how valid the acoustical study comes out in the end. (14) Lisa Pease, The Enduring JFK Mystery (22nd November, 2005)In 1998, the Agency again responded inaccurately to public inquiries about Joannides. The Agency's Historic Review Office informed the JFK Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) that it was unable to identify the case officer for the DRE in 1963. The ARRB staff, on its own, located records confirming that Joannides had been the case officer. He received the 1978 and 1988 IU East Summer Faculty Fellowship and the Lilly Endowment Faculty Fellowship in 1975-76. The executive added: ‘The danger Harry and Meghan face is becoming irrelevant. Americans care about the Royal Family. We’ve always been fascinated by the Royals. Harry is Diana’s son, nothing will ever change that. But the American public needs to see he’s still part of the family because his family and their drama is what we’re interested in.’ For a while, my entire focus was on my daughter’s recovery and it was only in 2016, when Romilly was over the worst, that I finally felt ready to meet my new family, Georgia and Oliver, face-to-face.

As I see it...Communist society is indeed the highest form of society imaginable in this world, but to build the highest form of society, the people who build it must possess the highest moral qualities,” he said. On a rainy evening in October 1966, the British spy George Blake eased his way through a small gap between the iron bars of a window at Wormwood Scrubs, the dingy Victorian-era prison in West London where he was serving the longest sentence ever handed out by a British court. What contemporaneous reporting is or was in the Agency's DRE files? We will never know, for the Agency now says that no reporting is in the existing files. Are we to believe that its files were silent in 1964 or during our investigation?

As for the organized-crime aspect of Oswald's associations in New Orleans, where it had been overlooked by the F.B.I, and the Warren Commission, it had been studiously avoided by the District Attorney for reasons we believed had become apparent... He was captured in 1950 after the outbreak of the Korean war. Released two years later, he was given a hero’s welcome on his return to Britain. Blake claimed later that his conversion to communism had been a gradual process. He had read Russian and Marxist literature at Cambridge, where he had been sent by MI6 in 1947 to learn Russian. While a prisoner of the North Koreans, he read Das Kapital to Vyvyan Holt, the British consul-general at Seoul and a fellow captive who had lost his glasses. George appeared to suffer from his early days, not so much from divided loyalties, but from uncertainty about his roots. He said later he had an “identity crisis”. He never had roots in Britain. He said, many years later: “To betray, you first have to belong. I never belonged.” The Richmond Art Museum (RAM) also benefited from Blakey’s leadership and generosity. He served as a RAM trustee for several years and was instrumental in creating the organization’s permanent collection policy. Blakey remained an avid supporter and patron of RAM after his service on the board. ABC News: Let me ask you: 40 years after the fact and 25 years after your investigation, who killed John F. Kennedy?

I do not believe in life after death,” Blake said in an interview with Rossiskaya Gazeta, Russia’s official government newspaper, on his 90th birthday. “In my childhood, I wanted to become a priest, but that passed. As soon as our brain stops receiving blood, we go, and after that there will be nothing. No punishment for the bad things you did, nor rewards for the utterly wonderful.” I never had the courage to ask my father. We never discussed anything personal like that. But my husband Jamie encouraged me to meet up with Georgia, which is how I found myself sitting at a Nando’s restaurant, equidistant between the two family homes, with Georgia and her brother.Blakey is the Raymond P. White Distinguished Professor, along with numerous other awards related to his contributions to the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, including the Adams School of Dentistry’s Richard F. Hunt Memorial Award for Excellence in Predoctoral Teaching. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. But then: Why did he try to crucify Garrison? Why did he not credit Garrison for the contribution Garrison has made to the development of this case, though working with a fraction of Blakey's resources and under the intense pressure of an active covert opposition? More significantly, in recent days, a man named Frank Ragano, who was a long-time lawyer for Santo Trafficante, tells the story that Trafficante, shortly before he underwent a serious operation, confided to him that "Carlos messed up." He said that "we should have killed Bobby and not Giovanni." This evidence is of extraordinary significance. In 1961, tipped off by Michael Goleniewski, a double agent who left Poland for the US, MI6 summoned Blake to Britain from Lebanon, where he was studying at the Middle East Centre for Arabic Studies, a well-known spy school for westerners.

Blakey: Carlos Marcello was being subject to the most vigorous investigation he had ever experienced in his life, designed to put him in jail. He was in fact summarily, without due process, deported to Guatemala. He took the deportation personally. He hated the Kennedys. He had the motive, the opportunity and the means in Lee Harvey Oswald to kill him. I think he did through Oswald.Q: Mobsters talked of their hatred of Kennedy. Could you talk about that - which mobsters, what did they say? There was no suggestion my father had ever strayed until he met Georgia’s mother, an aspiring actress, in a London nightclub in 1976 and fell in love. Two years later, Georgia arrived, followed by her brother Oliver in 1988. I asked about his infamous HSCA Nondisclosure Agreement (which has always interested me) - he didn't hesitate to respond that the agreement was absolutely not enforceable in perpetuity. He firmly stated that it had applied only to the life of the committee, and ended after it had disbanded. He added that he couldn't understand how such a simple issue had been twisted around by researchers, the press, etc. through the years. Some serious researchers believe the off-limits files could shed valuable new light on nagging mysteries of the assassination _ including what U.S. intelligence agencies knew about accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald before Nov. 22, 1963.
