This was yesterday's post going out late...

Its not to bad looking out there. I don’t have a lot on my plate for the rest of the day except reading and watching some hockey.

In an upcoming JFK book by author William Lester, there’s been a lot of buzz lately about some top secret memos how JFK asked the CIA for information on UFO’s. It’s not so much that JFK asked for information but its the timing of his request: 10 days before he was assassinated on his way to give a luncheon speech in Dallas.

Prior to JFK‘s assasination JFK wanted to see the UFO files because at the time there had been a lot of UFO sightings in the Soviet Union and JFK wanted to have the information to say to Khrushchev something like “these UFO’s are not American technology, we are not trying to be provocative etc.”

Its no secret to JFK researchers that Kennedy had an interest in UFO’s. One of Kennedy’s biggest critics was the CIA. Kennedy asking to see top secret information on UFO’s shortly after botching the Bay of Pigs is kind of like tossing oil onto the fire JFK had lit earlier. Imagine the CIA at the time looking at the memo. “Now he wants to see the UFO files! Of all the nerve.” JFK didn’t like the CIA either as he wanted to destroy the agency and he might have succeeded if the assasination hadn’t happened. I‘m not suggesting the CIA killed Kennedy, far from it. But if Kennedy hadn’t sent that memo, I wonder if JFK would have been assassinated at all! The memo sent to Lester by the CIA, released under the FOIA had been tested for age of paper font and ink, the whole thing. The memos are real and not faked. More on this later tonight on Coast to Coast. I‘m looking forward to this one.
