Guy Banister

They had things to cover up.

You have Guy Bannister, who is a former FBI agent.

a big one, a big fish in the FBI at one time, you have allegations of him dealing with his anti Castro Cubans and, and Lee Harvey Oswald and David Ferry and all of these other suspect people, uh, in new Orleans.

But they did their investigations.

No.

Where Guy Bannister and David Ferry had been working, although November 22nd, 1963, you know, that was... a show for a while, right? With

Franco.

I had the weirdest dream last night.

okay i mean i just think you know that is

worth clarifying okay i agree

So anyhow, that morning, right before JFK was shot, Marcello's acquitted and Guy Bannister and David Ferry had been working the defense through G. Ray Gill's law firm.

All right.

Okay, maybe.

He's also seen with Ferry in Guy Banister's office, who's a retired ex- FBI agent, and he's also seen with Ferry ...

There's a pic- He's also seen with Ferry in training camps that Marcello funds and underwrites.

And he's also ...

Well, at some point or another, this guy Jack Martin has a beef with ...

And this is in that film, too, the JFK film.

He has a beef with Guy Banister.

They're arguing.

Nonetheless, I...

Next up, he mentions that Guy Banister was investigating UFOs in 1947.

Uh, he mentions the Twin Falls saucer incident, and we covered Guy Banister last week.

He was the guy who got in an argument with Jack Martin at a bar and pistol-whipped him when he said Banister was connected to the JFK assassination at the bar.

It was the original testimony that spurred the Garrison investigations.

[chuckles] Um, and I think one thing that is very fascinating if you look behind some of the obfuscation or some of the reasoning in these chapters is, uh, the genuine just direct connections between this, this UFO stuff and the JFK assassination.

I mean, for Guy Banister and Fred Chrisman to both directly be involved in both is-- I mean, the odds are astronomical.

Like it-- there, there has to be a through line there.

He didn't understand what his training was, but he was sent by hi- his handler.

His name was Jack Martin, worked out of the office of Guy Banister, whom all people who have studied the Kennedy assassination in New Orleans know about Guy Banister, that he was sent there to be trained, and it was pretty clear to him that he was being trained to be a patsy, that should Oswald not work out, should Oswald not cooperate, well, he'd be another young man whom nobody would miss and who was intelligent and who, you know, would be someone who, you know, could, could be given the blame.

And, uh, Beckham ex- told me how he had previously been g- sent on a mission to Dallas to deliver maps and di- diagrams to someone who was working with the CIA.

His name was Lawrence Howard, and, uh, uh, this was just sort of very shortly before the assassination, so he had been utilized.
