This is 63 Inman St. Cambridge MA as it looks today. In the early 1970's the top two floors on the right hand side has burned and several friends and I were hired to restore it. It looks a lot nicer now than it did in 1973 when it was owned by John Kernochan and served as a rooming house. John, a friend, was from an interesting family- old New England money. They had a home on Martha's Vineyard right on the golf course. His dad was Dean of Law at Columbia and his sister Sarah was a filmmaker who did a documentary about Marjoe Gortner, the child evangelist turned movie star.
On the second floor left was an unusual group of fellows- The Assassination Information Bureau. They were dedicated to uncovering information on the assassinations of JFK, his brother Robert, as well as Martin Luther King. The Bureau "staff" consisted primarily of Bob Katz, Harvey Yazijian, Mike Gee and Carl Oglesby, plus a few peripheral figures. When looking on Google to see what if anything there was, they were described in one article as "a sober group." Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact the office was more of a hangout for conspiracy theorists, pot smokers, and other ne'er-do-wells (myself included).
Harv and Bob were the public face of the organization, they went around the country doing lectures. Mike and another guy named Jamie did research. Carl, who went on to become a professor at MIT, I didn't know very well- he was kind of an asshole. Carl was a Communist, who I didn't get the feeling anyone liked very much. The most prominent memory I have of him, was him showing up at my 30th birthday party, spouting off about the joys of Communism to my other friends- mostly guys I played ball with, all blue collar types, several who had been to Nam- and almost getting thrown off the roof of a 4 story building.
Anyway, the "Bureau" had a copy of the Zapruder film long before it became public and I got to see it. That was the moment that I began to realize that perhaps the government wasn't on the up and up after all. The more I learned from these guys, the more suspicious I became. I had signed up to go to Vietnam to stop the spread of Communism- I believed in what I did, even when I was "recruited" to commit acts that I was aware went beyond the accepted "rules of warfare." Now I was beginning to question even that. These guys were very different from the truthers of today who tend to be sort of conservative... we were all pretty liberal. Harvey had been a war protester. We were basically a bunch of old hippies.
That's how I came into the truth movement- from the left. Up until this time the only pictures or film on the JFK assassination came from the MSM. When it happened I was on a plane enroute to Vietnam... those of us alive today remember exactly when it happened. It was a day that changed America forever, although none of us had any idea how much until recently when more and more information has come out. Watching the Zapruder film changed everything- you could tell that the killshot came from the front. A lot of people got red pilled when they saw the buildings fall on 9/11... you could tell it was a nearly perfect demolition just by watching the news footage. It was the same for me watching the Zapruder film- my experience as a sniper told me the official narrative was absolutely false.
I often think about those guys (except Carl). Mike Gee went to work as a sports writer for the Boston Herald. I just found this...
"It didn't take former Boston Herald sports columnist Michael Gee long to lose his gig at Boston University. Just two weeks after being hired to teach an introductory journalism course this summer, Gee was asked to leave because he posted ''offensive" comments on a website, according to Bob Zelnick, chairman of the journalism department at BU. The website, www.sportsjournalists.com, has since removed the post, but, helpfully, blogger David Scott saved it at www.bostonsportsmedia.com/shots/. In the post, Gee describes one of his female students as ''incredibly hot" with a ''[nice] bod" and worries about ''losing my focus when I meet her to-die-for eyes." One of the several Herald scribes shown the door this spring as the tab tries to cut costs, Gee was hired by BU in early July. But after reading his randy remarks, Zelnick said he and school officials concluded ''we had to sever the relationship and sever it at once." Gee did not return a call yesterday, but in a note on sportsjournalists .com, he wrote, ''That post was pathetic, juvenile, and boorish. It's not me . . . yet I said it and I'm deeply ashamed I did.""
Well, it sounds like Mike- it was him! Out of all the guys at the AIB, Mike had more to do with red pilling me- along with Harv. They were a good bunch of guys- patriots all... nothing like leftists today. They tirelessly sought the truth and for that I respect them and thank them for being a big part of waking me up.
