Ex-CIA Agent Tells
His Role In Garrison's
Conspiracy Probe
Aging newspaper reporters - even if they've worked for the CIA
usually carry two dreams with them into retirement.
One is they fantasize editing their own newspaper, able to write
- within reason - whatever they'd like.
They also dream of uncovering the big one "The Story of the
Century" the blockbuster that brings Pulitzer Prize fame and
the bridesmaids of riches.
I lived one of those dreams as editor and executive vice
president of The Houston Tribune, a metropolitan weeky in a
booming, seam-bursting city covering what seemed like half of
southern Texas.
Then, "along came Jones" the reporter's second big dream -
in the person of Jim Garrison, who had just announced that he had
solved the killing of John F. Kennedy and that arrests were im-
minent. The Story of the Century was waiting just across the
border in New Orleans like a succulent Gulf oyster on the half
shell.
I made contact with Garrison's office through a mutual
acquaintance in the Louisiana State Police who had been to
Houston to check out leads in a case. I likewise managed to
disengage myself from a final four months of an employment
contract with the Tribune (much to the relief of its more con-

Same Cast of Characters Has Shaped America's
An eerie web of circumstantial evidence gives credence to once
scoffed-at theories that an "invisible government" has been
controlling America's destiny for the past dozen years.
If these theories and they're just that are correct, behind
the scenes forces involving intelligence agents and perhaps the
agencies themselves, have determined who would and who would
not be President of the United States during that period.
The strange web of circumstances goes back to the Eisenhower
Administration when then Vice President Richard Nixon was
placed in charge of the CIA planning of what would become the
Bay of Pigs Invasion in an effort to overthrow Fidel Castro's rebel
government of Cuba.

Mr. Hall
"Come out, come out wherever you are."
-A line from "Hide And Seek."
Loran Eugene Hall - Cuban cover name: Lorenzo Eugenio
Pascillo - doesn't live here anymore.
Last April, Hall was told an investigative journalism article
would soon be published that would link him directly to the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The source of Hall's information, according to TATTLER in-
formants, was one R.K. Brown (probably Robert K. Brown), a
man who allegedly has ties to the CIA or other intelligence
organizations and was once the publisher of right-wing literature
in Boulder, Colo. If Brown was the source of Hall's information,
Brown was right. It was about that time that TATTLER received
confirmation from a third source that Hall was involved in JFK's
death.
Ultimately, that confirmation led to an article that was
published in the July 13, 1975, regular issue of TATTLER. Hall
would have been able to buy a copy of that issue about July 7 in his
former hometown of West Covina, Calif.
But what Hall did back in April when he got wind of what was up
is at least as important as the fact that he is no longer in the
United States.
