Clay Shaw, Liar and Perjurer as well as being a highly paid CIA contract
source until 1956

CIA
document here, where the CIA’s J. Kenneth McDonald calls Clay Shaw a “highly
paid CIA source” until 1956:

Although Shaw was quickly
acquitted, Garrison’s prosecution later inspired Oliver Stone to come out with
his movie JFK, whose theme was
the same as Garrison’s — that Kennedy was assassinated by his enemies within
the national-security establishment.
At
the end of Stone’s movie was a blurb that informed people that official records
relating to the assassination would continue to be kept secret until the year
2029. The inference was clear: The secrecy was designed to advance a cover-up
of the national-security state’s regime-change operation against Kennedy.
That
blurb produced such an outcry among the American people that Congress was
effectively forced to enact the JFK Records Collection Act of 1992, which
mandated that all federal agencies, including the Pentagon and the CIA, release
their long-secret assassination-related records to the public. To enforce the law, Congress called
into existence the Assassination Records Review Board, which operated from 1994
to 1998.
The
ARRB’s enforcement of the JFK Records Act is how we learned that the
national-security establishment had conducted a fraudulent autopsy on President
Kennedy’s body on the very evening of the assassination. The nature of that
fraudulent autopsy was detailed in my books The Kennedy Autopsy and The Kennedy Autopsy 2.
That fraudulent autopsy is how we know that
the national-security establishment orchestrated and carried out one of its
patented regime-change operations against Kennedy. As I
have repeatedly emphasized over the years, there is no innocent explanation for
a fraudulent autopsy. Once one concludes that the Kennedy autopsy was
fraudulent, there is but one reasonable conclusion that he can reach: The
national-security establishment, which conducted the fraudulent autopsy,
orchestrated and carried out the assassination.
Thus,
if it hadn’t been for Garrison’s prosecution of Shaw in 1969, it is a virtual
certainty that we still wouldn’t know today that what occurred on November 22,
1963, in Dallas was a national-security state regime-change operation. That’s
because Garrison’s prosecution led to Oliver Stone’s movie, which, in turn, led
to the JFK Records Act and the ARRB, which led to the evidence that established
a fraudulent autopsy.
Ever
since the Garrison’s prosecution, however, defenders of the lone-nut theory of
the Kennedy assassination have portrayed Clay Shaw as an innocent victim of an
abusive criminal prosecution. As it turns out however, Shaw wasn’t as sweet and
innocent as the lone-nut theorists have long claimed. He actually was a perjurer and a liar.
At
his trial, Shaw testified in his own behalf and denied that he had played any
role in the Kennedy assassination. During his testimony, which, of course, was
under oath, the following transpired:
Q: Mr. Shaw, have you ever worked for the
Central Intelligence Agency?
A: No, I have not.
After he was acquitted, Shaw was
interviewed by Penthouse magazine. In the interview, he
stated, “I have never had any connection with the CIA.”
On November 1, 2021, the National
Archives released a CIA document that had been kept secret since February 1992. That
date was several months before the JFK Records Act was signed into law in
October 1992. It was clearly an assassination-related record that should have
been disclosed during the term of the ARRB in the 1990s. Instead, it was kept
secret under a loophole in the law that entitled the CIA and other federal
agencies to continue keeping certain records secret for another 25 years, on
grounds that their disclosure would reveal “sources” or “methods” or endanger
“national security.”
If
you read the
document, you will see that there is no possibility
that it falls within any of those categories. The CIA simply lied to the ARRB to ensure that the
document would continue to remain secret for 25 more years. Then, when
that 25-year deadline came due in 2017, the CIA again lied, this time to
President Trump, to get even more time for continued secrecy of the document.
Trump gave the CIA another five years of secrecy. When that deadline came due
in 2021, the CIA persuaded President Biden to grant another extension of time
for secrecy, this time to December 2022. For some unknown reason — perhaps even
a screw-up — the National Archives released the document in November of 2021.
The document is a memo sent by J.
Kenneth McDonald, the Chief of the CIA History Staff, to the Director of the
CIA, with copies being sent to other CIA personnel. It pertains to how the CIA
should handle the CIA’s records from the reinvestigation of the Kennedy
assassination by the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970s.
In his memo, McDonald states the following:
“These records do reveal, however, that Clay Shaw was a highly paid CIA
contract source until 1956.”
Thus,
by the CIA’s own admission, it turns out that Clay Shaw wasn’t the sweet,
innocent man that lone-nut theorists in the Kennedy assassination have long
portrayed him to be. At the very least, he was a perjurer and a liar, which, of
course, taints his entire testimony at his trial.
Do you see why the CIA is loathe to
disclose the 14,000 records that it continues to keep secret from the American
people that related to the Kennedy assassination and why it continues to demand
continued secrecy of such records?
