Talk about synchronicity, Bucky. Two days ago I wrote this on another thread (unless you read my post ;)):
I'd add that continuing Friedman's
Top Secret book, I'm no longer so sure Pflock had it right either.
Regarding this new "witness": apparently he's been "authenticated" by another researcher:
It's hard to know what to make of it, or how one could go about making anything of it. My 2 cent thoughts:
First, I wonder why he won't give out his name since he's dying and is revealing his identity otherwise.
Second, and more importantly, I get more than a little suspicious that Eisenhower wouldn't be informed of MJ-12's reports, since the original MJ-12 document available, if it's legit (there were later ones that were definitely hoaxes after the original was released), is a document addressed
to him (as president-elect, late '52).
Friedman also studied the "Cutler-Twining memo" of 1954 (Twining a member of MJ-12) that supports the notion that Ike met with MJ-12 one day that summer.
Also, why would just this "lowly" single CIA official, and whoever his boss was, alone together (by the sounds of it), be told by the president and vice-president to send this message back to Area 51 and about their "threat" to invade Area 51 if they don't collaborate, and then report back to them and Hoover? A little difficult to swallow. (Never mind the "threat to invade" itself.)
Based on this, I have trouble buying into the story. But who knows?
