Henry Wade was the Dallas DA... Do you really believe that Wade would have allowed the evidence out of his hands without documentation??

Jim Garrison's Homosexual Shakedown Operation
Allegations were made to the FBI in 1967 that Jim Garrison was operating a homosexual shakedown operation. The FBI decided this was a local matter and declined to take action. Today I present the full, unredacted memo.

A gay person is the last person the CIA would chose as one of its agents. It’s too easy to turn them by threatening to expose them.

A gay person is the most logical person for Jim Garrison to choose to prosecute with a bogus case. Such a person cannot present any character witnesses because they may be asked, by the DA, under oath, if they know anything about the defendant being a homosexual. A disaster for the defense given the attitude of the public in the 1960’s towards gays. The people that the defense can call upon to testify is greatly restricted.

Seems that is no longer the case, Joe.
"Tenet holds the dubious distinction of being the first CIA director to preside at a “Gay Pride Day” at the agency. There’s no indication that Tenet himself is gay, but the event which took place at the agency on June 6th, 2000 was extraordinary and demonstrates the misplaced priorities at the CIA. Tenet welcomed openly homosexual Rep. Barney Frank to the affair, telling the congressman that the agency is “recruiting very actively” in the homosexual community."

Was Clay Shaw part of the "intelligence apparatus" in New Orleans?
Tommy Baumler told Bernard Fensterwald in 1981 that Clay Shaw was part of the "intelligence apparatus" of New Orleans. But who was Tommy Baumler, and why on earth should we just take his word on this?

Short answer is:


Yes, he was but Garrison and his followers may be wrong to accuse Shaw of being part of the JFK assassination plot.

[Fred Litwin]

And your proof is what? And what exactly is an "intelligence apparatus"?

Yes. But this is the twentieth first century. It is now acceptable to be gay. In the 1960’s, it was very different. Using a gay agent who could be easily blackmailed was not done back then.
