  7. In a deathbed confession, E. Howard Hunt told his son members of the gov't conspired to have JFK killed. A small except: "In some ways we turned out similarly," he says. "He was a spy, into secrets and covert activity. I became a drug dealer. What has to be more covert and secret than that? It's the same mind-set. We were just on opposite sides of the -- well, actually, in our case, I guess we weren't even on opposite sides of the law, were we?" That time in miami, with saint by his bed and disease eating away at him and him thinking he's six months away from death, E. Howard finally put pen to paper and started writing. Saint had been working toward this moment for a long while, and now it was going to happen. He got his father an A&W diet root beer, then sat down in the old man's wheelchair and waited. E. Howard scribbled the initials "LBJ," standing for Kennedy's ambitious vice president, Lyndon Johnson. Under "LBJ," connected by a line, he wrote the name Cord Meyer. Meyer was a CIA agent whose wife had an affair with JFK; later she was murdered, a case that's never been solved. Next his father connected to Meyer's name the name Bill Harvey, another CIA agent; also connected to Meyer's name was the name David Morales, yet another CIA man and a well-known, particularly vicious black-op specialist. And then his father connected to Morales' name, with a line, the framed words "French Gunman Grassy Knoll." So there it was, according to E. Howard Hunt. LBJ had Kennedy killed. It had long been speculated upon. But now E. Howard was saying that's the way it was. And that Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't the only shooter in Dallas. There was also, on the grassy knoll, a French gunman, presumably the Corsican Mafia assassin Lucien Sarti, who has figured prominently in other assassination theories. "By the time he handed me the paper, I was in a state of shock," Saint says. "His whole life, to me and everybody else, he'd always professed to not know anything about any of it. But I knew this had to be the truth. If my dad was going to make anything up, he would have made something up about the Mafia, or Castro, or Khrushchev. He didn't like Johnson. But you don't falsely implicate your own country, for Christ's sake. My father is old-school, a dyed-in-the-wool patriot, and that's the last thing he would do." Later that week, E. Howard also gave Saint two sheets of paper that contained a fuller narrative. It starts out with LBJ again, connecting him to Cord Meyer, then goes on: "Cord Meyer discusses a plot with [David Atlee] Phillips who brings in Wm. Harvey and Antonio Veciana. He meets with Oswald in Mexico City. . . . Then Veciana meets w/ Frank Sturgis in Miami and enlists David Morales in anticipation of killing JFK there. But LBJ changes itinerary to Dallas, citing personal reasons." David Atlee Phillips, the CIA's Cuban operations chief in Miami at the time of JFK's death, knew E. Howard from the Guatemala-coup days. Veciana is a member of the Cuban exile community. Sturgis, like Saint's father, is supposed to have been one of the three tramps photographed in Dealey Plaza. Sturgis was also one of the Watergate plotters, and he is a man whom E. Howard, under oath, has repeatedly sworn to have not met until Watergate, so to Saint the mention of his name was big news. In the next few paragraphs, E. Howard goes on to describe the extent of his own involvement. It revolves around a meeting he claims he attended, in 1963, with Morales and Sturgis. It takes place in a Miami hotel room. Here's what happens: Morales leaves the room, at which point Sturgis makes reference to a "Big Event" and asks E. Howard, "Are you with us?" E. Howard asks Sturgis what he's talking about. Sturgis says, "Killing JFK." E. Howard, "incredulous," says to Sturgis, "You seem to have everything you need. Why do you need me?" In the handwritten narrative, Sturgis' response is unclear, though what E. Howard says to Sturgis next isn't: He says he won't "get involved in anything involving Bill Harvey, who is an alcoholic psycho." After that, the meeting ends. E. Howard goes back to his "normal" life and "like the rest of the country . . . is stunned by JFK's death and realizes how lucky he is not to have had a direct role." After reading what his father had written, St. John was stunned too. His father had not only implicated LBJ, he'd also, with a few swift marks of a pen, put the lie to almost everything he'd sworn to, under oath, about his knowledge of the assassination. Saint had a million more questions. But his father was exhausted and needed to sleep, and then Saint had to leave town without finishing their talk, though a few weeks later he did receive in the mail a tape recording from his dad. E. Howard's voice on the cassette is weak and grasping, and he sometimes wanders down unrelated pathways. But he essentially remakes the same points he made in his handwritten narrative. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/13893143/the_last_confessions_of_e_howard_hunt/7 Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream
  8. Do yourself a favor and buy a real container. Dolphin riser protection is non-existent, for a few extra bucks you can get something decent. Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream
  9. I ran into this exact situation once. We exited a few miles upwind from the dz and lit her up, I was winning till I deployed and watched my friend keep tracking for awhile. I would say he won the race, but I didn't have to walk back to the dz. I barely cleared the fence on the runway and landed downwind, had to fly my ass off to make that one.

  10. I had a dream once I was travelling down a highway in freefall but going horizontally and I had to keep pressure so I didn't hit the pavement, it was a winding road through a forest, f'ing sweet!!! Must be how terminal cliff base feels (kinda) Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream
  11. I'd like to share something about pullout packing I have learned which reduces the possibiltiy of a lost handle. When I mushroom the pc I push a fifth of the mesh into the bottom right corner of my talon, this being the lowest 1/5th of the pc relative to the bridle. I believe that in the event of the vecro coming undone, this keeps the pud on the right side of the container rather than allowing it to float above the pin where it is harder to find.

  12. Ya I hate free skydiving, damn those 100 jumps last july and august sucked! It's even worse when you get jump credit, then you gotta go again and pack twice as much! Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream

  16. I think doing a 180 is worse to enter the pattern than a 270 personally, I'd rather do a 135 degree carve to improve visual awareness of the target area. I think AZ is on the right track though, it is very busy in the main area on full loads. Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream

  18. The rational vs visceral argument is blown out of the water in Mahmood Mamdani's book "Good Muslim, Bad Muslim". He would agree that it isn't about Islam, but is critical of the clash of civilizations tree of arguments espoused by Samuel Huntington.

  24. Basically you know that it aired before the Solomon Building fell because you can see the building still standing in the background as they report how it collapsed. Please note that tower 7, the Solomon Brothers building, was separate from the twin towers and supposedly collapsed in a textbook demolishion style due to 'fires'.
