NP RE: Another Holocaust-denier Bites the Dust

[Robert Pirani]

There was certainly one group of researchers into possibilities that JFK's
death was not the result of the lone actions of LHO who felt that Lane was
a disinformation agent His work had the effect of 1) discrediting
legitimate research 2) diverting efforts to areas that would prove
dead-ends. I can't recall all the items that were mentioned to prove this
thesis, but I do recall that his subsequent involvement with Jim Jone's
People's Temple served to substantiate the assertion with me, at least.

If we were to look for a figure who seems to be playing a similar
"provocateur"  function today I might suggest Al Sharpton -- but not being
in N.Y. I haven't followed his career closely enough to be absolutely
convinced. And their provocateurs both witting and un.

Regards,
Robert
