On March 26, 1971, Perry Russo was interviewed by Edward Wegmann, William Gurvich and Sal Panzeca. It s a long transcript - some 95 pages covering a variety of topics. It was the second interview they conducted with Russo; the first being on January 29, 1971 and that transcript is 60 pages. A third interview was in April.
I don t know if anybody has published these transcripts - but this excerpt is explosive - and it shows you how Sciambra started to implant a false memory into Russo.
Here is part of the transcript:
It s an incredible story. Russo could only really remember seeing Shaw once - at the Nashville Wharf when Kennedy came to speak in 1962. His identification of Shaw at David Ferrie s service station is questionable, to say the least.
The journalist James Phelan wrote a very interesting memo about the discrepancies and contradictions in Perry Russo s stories. I blogged this memo once before, but I want to put it up once again. This blog post relates to point 10 - the conversation with Perry Russo and James Phelan that took place in Baton Rouge in March of 1967.
Russo told Phelan that he first mentioned an assassination plot in New Orleans, and not in Baton Rouge when initially interviewed by the press and by Andrew Sciambra.
Note that Matt Herron accompanied James Phelan in Baton Rouge. Let s look at what James DiEugenio says about this in
To fight the bug, we must understand the bug. We can ill-afford another Klendathu. Sky Marshal Tehat Meru, Starship Troopers
I admit to being a sci-fi junky. My brother and I read hundreds of 50-cent sci-fi paperbacks growing up in South Dakota in the 1960s. Sci-fi sometimes becomes reality in the future. At the very least, it stimulates the imagination, as well as provides some memorable quotes like the above.
My modern political adaption of Sky Marshal Meru’s quote from the 1997 cult classic Starship Troopers is as follows:
To fight the Democrats, we must understand the Democrats and their tactics. We can ill-afford another 2020 election result.
