[CN transcript of remarks by west coast researcher Dave Emory.]
|
|
|
|
[...continued...]
|
|
|
|
It's worth noting here because, upon leave from Chestnut Lodge,
|
|
Phil Graham blew his own brains out, in August of 1963.
|
|
|
|
Reading again from *Katherine the Great*:
|
|
|
|
Death preoccupied Phil all that Spring. Three times, with
|
|
permission to leave Chestnut Lodge, he visited Edward
|
|
Bennett Williams to re-write his will, each time reducing
|
|
Katherine's share of his estate. On the second visit, he
|
|
demanded that Williams burn the first will. On the third,
|
|
he had him burn the second. These wills rescinded and
|
|
superseded the carefully thought out document of
|
|
longstanding, one that provided trust funds for his
|
|
children and gave the bulk of his estate to his wife.
|
|
After he died, during probate, Katherine's lawyer
|
|
challenged the legality of the last will. The probate
|
|
proceeding enabled Katherine to take control of the
|
|
[Washington] Post with no significant legal problem.
|
|
Although with the discredited will not on the public
|
|
record, it is not known who Phil might have designated in
|
|
her place.
|
|
|
|
Manic-depressives frequently plan their deaths on the
|
|
anniversary of a significant event. Saturday, August 3rd,
|
|
1963, was the 15th anniversary of the formation of the
|
|
Washington Post Company, the umbrella corporation for the
|
|
Post and other property in which Katherine and Phil Graham
|
|
were sole partners. On the morning of August 3rd, Phil
|
|
telephoned Katherine from Chestnut Lodge and said that he
|
|
was feeling much better. He asked if he could spend the
|
|
weekend with her on their farm. Katherine called Joe
|
|
Rowe(sp?) and told him happily, "Phil is better! He's
|
|
coming home. Why don't you come over and see him on
|
|
Tuesday?"
|
|
|
|
On Monday he would spend the day with the children. She
|
|
picked him up at Chestnut Lodge that morning. They drove
|
|
to a small Virginia town called Warrenton, in Fochier(sp?)
|
|
County, 42 miles southwest of Washington, in the Virginia
|
|
Hunt country. The farm, Glen Welby(sp?), was that of a
|
|
gentleman and weekend hunter, equipped with television and
|
|
telephones, books and paintings, shotguns for hunting deer
|
|
and rifles for quail hunting parties, horses, servants, a
|
|
large, well-stocked kitchen and bar. Katherine and Phil
|
|
spent some time together, and then Katherine took a nap.
|
|
Phil went downstairs, sat on the edge of the bathtub, and
|
|
shot himself in the head.
|
|
|
|
Again, he may very well have been disturbed here. However one of
|
|
the x-factors that's missing here from Debra Davis's ruminations
|
|
on the death of Phil Graham is his long standing with
|
|
intelligence and, in turn, the longstanding, ongoing, and highly
|
|
successful attempts by the CIA to institute mind control,
|
|
including training mind-control assassins and consequently (as we
|
|
looked at in our Radio Free America series on mind control) to
|
|
get some of those assassins (or apparent assassins: they're
|
|
often used as decoys) to commit suicide. So whether or not the
|
|
death of Phillip Graham here, who had become disenchanted with
|
|
the pattern of CIA co-operation with the media, had anything at
|
|
all to do with CIA mind control, remains to be seen. As we like
|
|
to say here, "Food for thought, and grounds for further
|
|
research." It is worth noting, though, that this happened just
|
|
about 3 months before the assassination of President Kennedy.
|
|
It's also worth noting that Phillip Graham's discredited wills
|
|
*might* have invested the Washington Post (at least to a certain
|
|
extent) away from the CIA which had been so inextricably involved
|
|
with it from the very beginning.
|
|
|
|
And of course, one of the main names to take note of here --
|
|
again, by way of noting how the Washington Post really is part of
|
|
a sort of old intelligence, old boy network here -- is the name
|
|
of Edward Bennett Williams, the owner of the Washington Redskins
|
|
for awhile, and now the Baltimore Orioles. Edward Bennett
|
|
Williams is one of the prime, intelligence-related attorneys in
|
|
the United States. His clients not only include Richard Helms,
|
|
whose association with Ben Bradlee we looked at awhile ago
|
|
(Helms, of course, CIA Director; CIA Director at the time of the
|
|
overthrow of the Allende government, worked with Henry Kissinger,
|
|
[Gloria] Steinem's old [boyfriend], among others.) But Edward
|
|
Bennett Williams has represented John Connally, Jimmy Hoffa,
|
|
Robert Vesco. And interestingly enough, it was while working as
|
|
an investigator for Edward Bennett Williams's law firm, that
|
|
Robert Maheu, formerly of the [Howard] Hughes organization,
|
|
helped set up the organized crime assassination teams which were
|
|
allegedly to be used against Castro, but there's some indication
|
|
that they were used against John Kennedy instead. [CN: See, for
|
|
example, "Alpha-66," CN 8.43] Again, documentation on that, on
|
|
"Guns of November," program #1, the first of our 4 programs on
|
|
the assassination of John Kennedy.
|
|
|
|
It's worth noting here now too, that surrounding the death of
|
|
John Kennedy, we have an interesting situation that, not only
|
|
does Phillip Graham "bow out" in sort of a grisly fashion, but
|
|
also *after* John Kennedy was killed, in October of 1964, Mary
|
|
Meyer, the ex-wife of Cord Meyer, the brother-in-law of Ben
|
|
Bradlee (who himself had intelligence connections) -- Cord Meyer,
|
|
a key CIA counter-intelligence official -- Mary Meyer was
|
|
murdered, her diary then appropriated by CIA counter-intelligence
|
|
chief James Angleton.
|
|
|
|
Reading again from *Katherine the Great*:
|
|
|
|
Ben Bradlee was considered by some members of the
|
|
Washington press to be insensitive and ruthless,
|
|
professionally and socially. He was indiscrete about
|
|
having been on intimate terms with Kennedy, one aspect of
|
|
which was that his sister-in-law, Mary Pinchot Meyer, who
|
|
had lived in Bradlee's renovated garage, had been Kennedy's
|
|
lover. Mary Meyer had been murdered in October of 1964.
|
|
She was killed near her house, or by the C&O Canal in
|
|
Georgetown, shot or stabbed. The location, even the manner
|
|
of her death, varies with each account. Immediately after
|
|
she died, James Angleton, the CIA's Chief of
|
|
Counter-Intelligence, searched her apartment for a diary
|
|
she had kept about Kennedy and took it to CIA headquarters.
|
|
Supposedly to burn it, although because of his training he
|
|
never destroyed any document. A year later, when Bradlee
|
|
went to the [Washington] Post, the slaying was still
|
|
unsolved. (It has never been solved. Bradlee was
|
|
uncharacteristically silent about it.)
|
|
|
|
So the point here again is, right around the time John Kennedy
|
|
was leaving this world, a lot of the people within the whole
|
|
Washington Post axis (and again, I use that term ["axis"]
|
|
advisedly) were also "bowing out" in grisly fashion: Phil
|
|
Graham, and the late, unfortunate, Mary Pinchot Meyer, being a
|
|
couple of them here.
|
|
|
|
Now the last two details that we're gonna look at here are, in a
|
|
sense, a sort of an abbreviated look at the Washington Post
|
|
involvement with CIA in the Watergate case. Now one of the
|
|
aspects of Watergate that has not received enough publicity is
|
|
the fact that it appears almost probable that the CIA, as well as
|
|
other elements of the National Security establishment, wanted
|
|
Richard Nixon out for a reason or reasons which are debatable.
|
|
Debra Davis here gives some reasons; we're gonna entertain those.
|
|
I'm gonna suggest a couple of others here in a couple of minutes.
|
|
|
|
Now we could go into the indications of CIA involvement in
|
|
Watergate all day. Unfortunately, due to time limitations here,
|
|
we're not gonna be able to do it. Suffice it to say that James
|
|
McCord, who was a very high-ranking intelligence official, head
|
|
of the security organization for the Committee to Re-Elect the
|
|
President, led the Watergate burglars into the Watergate Hotel.
|
|
Now one of the things that McCord did is, after placing a piece
|
|
of tape on the door to alert him as to whether or not the
|
|
"Plumbers'" presence had been discovered in the Watergate -- when
|
|
he discovered that tape missing, he then replaced the tape
|
|
*without* notifying the other Plumbers. For a man of McCord's
|
|
very longstanding and sophisticated involvement with the
|
|
intelligence community, that is frankly incredible, if one is to
|
|
accept that James McCord was not a double agent placed within the
|
|
Plumbers organization to get rid of Richard Nixon on behalf of
|
|
CIA and others. That is the general view of most researchers,
|
|
simply because as soon as McCord saw that tape missing he has to
|
|
have known that their presence in the Watergate Hotel was
|
|
discovered. There's no other conclusion. He placed the tape to
|
|
alert him to a discovery. When he saw it was missing -- not just
|
|
knocked off, but missing -- he has to have known that their
|
|
presence was discovered. Despite that, he replaced the tape
|
|
again; didn't alert the other Plumbers. And when the security
|
|
guard at the Watergate Hotel saw that the tape was replaced
|
|
again, he notified authorities. Because obviously he knew
|
|
someone was in there. So again, that's just one of the many
|
|
indicators that, in fact, Nixon's Plumbers unit was deep-sixed by
|
|
CIA from the inside. The motives for doing so remain a matter of
|
|
debate.
