KC Webinar 4/30/2021: Bill Simpich questions Sara Peterson and Katanna Zachry about Tosh Plumlee’s credibility

April 30, 2021 at JFK Conference / Webinar in Kansas City

[Beginning at 0:37 sec.]

Simpich:  “Here’s my question because I love a lot of the figures, but there’s one that I do not love in this case . . .and I’m ready for all the arrows, is Tosh Plumlee.  And the reason I say that, and you probably know that Tosh has at least been questioned as a reliable source.  I just wanted to share that he was not only one of the most important, you know, alleged witnesses, in this case but he was also in the Dark Alliance case, the Gary Webb story about the cocaine(?) . . .uh, Tosh well, this is how I knew about Tosh, because I worked on that case back in the day, that’s how I met Peter Dale Scott. 

Now, here’s an article out of the Huff Post from a few years ago – just let me read a few lines: 

“Uh, two years before the Iran-Contra bubbled up in the Reagan White House, pilot Tosh Plumlee revealed to Senator Gary Hart that the planes would routinely transport cocaine to the United States after dropping off arms to the Nicaragan rebels; and then he spoke in media interviews, he wrote letters to Senator Gary Hart, he sought out Gary Hart in 1983.  Gary Hart told the Huff Post in 2014 he remembered getting this letter, you know, decades later, you know, after the fact, and found his allegations worthy of follow-up.

“Plumlee flew weapons into Latin America for decades, for the CIA.  When the Contra revolution took off in the 1980s he continued to transport arms south for the spy agency and bring cocaine back with the blessing of the U.S. government. (Emphasis, through voice inflection, in original).

I have to say I think that he’s got one of the most active imaginations I’ve ever seen.” [Emphasis in original, merely highlighted here.  Editor’s note:  It isn’t clear precisely what he was referring to but it would seem to suggest that he thought that the general idea of the CIA’s, or the government’s involvement in flying drugs back into the U.S., never mind Plumlee’s, is so fantastically absurd as to be conceptually impossible].

“And uh, I just, you know – I’m very tough on everybody, even my witnesses, for years, I’ve touted Robert Barret . . . you all know who Barrett is [he was an FBI agent, referenced in Richard Trask’s Pictures of the Pain, among other books – ed.].  And I really felt that he was a truth-teller in the Kennedy case, because, not only did he report that Westbrook showed him the wallet of, allegedly of Oswald’s, minutes after the assassination, but he shouted out two names that were in there, Oswald and Hidell.  But then I got some memos from the, uh, newspapers from decades past, where he used different people’s names as the names that he found in the wallet.  And then he said it wasn’t Westbrook on other occasions, he said it was another man, and, I just started studying Barrett, and I found that this guy was a disinformation agent, he was uh, I could go on and on about Barrett but he spent a lot of time infusing information into the case. And I feel very [unintelligible, might be “burned by that”].   And I also found out that Barrett was a guy who was charged by the FBI to collect all the movies, all the film, in the days, the weeks and years after the assassination. And, I have to admit that I look at Barrett in a whole new light now (laughter).

“But I could carry on about Barrett, but I won’t.  But I could also carry on about Plumlee, and we can do it off-line if you want.”

[The remaining interview includes his comments about the need to create a “credibility index” for investigators and witnesses who would be selected and rated “by people who we rely on” – [What could possibly go wrong with that? – Ed.]].

    1. Not sure what you’re referring to, it is now public, since 6/13. It was originally “private” while I worked on it with Tosh and others, as I explained in the “Temporary Notice” blog. Try refreshing your browser.

  1. Thanks Phil… Very good research. You’re the first who found the documents- the ones that were said not to exist- and took the time to read them. You are the first who went deep into those non-existence, miss filed and flawed documents in order to establish the truth of that day and time.
    However, character assassination is still laid upon the real players, the ones who were sucked into that day and that tragic event. Some of those players are still alive today.

    However, some of the so called JFK researchers -the self appointed ones- the so called “experts”, are still around. They will see that their self made reputations as JFK scholars stay intact. They will continue to protect their lies and tarnished reputations at all cost.
    Character assassination within the JFK assassination research community is still very much alive and well.

    1. Thank you Tosh, for “fighting the good fight” to shine the light of truth into the dark recesses in the dungeon where the worst government secrets are stored. I had been a bit confused about why some people could not accept your attempts to make your case, so for 6 or 7 years now I’ve thought about it. The task of trying to rebut it was rather daunting due to the complexity of what you’ve been through, so I hope that this piece will help people sort through the many details of your story. The worst part was attempting to cut through the “fog” that was injected into the record by those who wanted to keep you from speaking out. If it’s any consolation, you’re not the only true hero who the “powers that be” want silenced. You’re in good company with Assange, Snowden, Kiriakou, Shipp and Lindauer, to name a few, who are in the same boat with you. Good luck to you Tosh, you really deserve the ultimate “Whistleblower” award, but the true heroes don’t seem to receive it — seems that they are reserved for mostly the phony ones.

  2. THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS
    Yes. Just another groundhog day (Eye witness to history)

    A few days ago, November 21st, 2020, someone asked me what I thought about the assassination of JFK. At the time my standard answer was, “I try not to think about that day.”. But that was not true. Each year when November comes around, I always recall that day. It’s like a bad dream; an old dream that will not go away.

    Last November, before sunrise, the radio woke me up. It was November 20th, 2020:

    “Yes. It’s that time of year again”, I said to myself. “It’s getting closer. That dreadful day is here again.”.

    For me it would be a memory, a memory playing like a bad movie over and over in my brain. That cold November day when JFK was assassinated, still lingers within my conscious mind. Like a broken record – each year, over and over, louder and louder, it plays. I want to run and hide. But there is nowhere to run- no place to hide. No way to escape that awful memory. That awful movie. That dreadful day.
    
”For me, things drastically changed on that November day in 1963. I was suddenly and without warning thrust into a sinister and wicked world. An unfamiliar world. An evil world of deception-a world of mistrust and deadly secrets.

    The average eight to five hard-working American citizens could never begin to comprehend the existence of that crazy, sinister, and evil world. A world without boundaries. That cold windy November day in Dallas, Texas changed my life forever. For the rest of my days, that day will forever haunt me.

    Why did I have to see that man die?”.

  3. The JFK assassination changed the world forever. Take a look at what is going on today in the US; media is controlled by the CIA, NSA, DOJ, FBI have been weaponized against those seeking to uphold the Constitution. Sadly, I don’t see a way back. The duplicitous criminals in government are seemingly untouchable.
