61. Anthony Summers said Hoover was very deferential to mafioso Frank Costello at the race track.

Not so shocking, considering...

J. Edgar Hoover Was Homosexual, Blackmailed by Mob, Book Says

February 06, 1993|From Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A new book contends that former FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover was a homosexual who was blackmailed by the Mafia into denying the existence of organized crime for decades.

Author Anthony Summers writes in his book, "Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover," that top organized crime figures Meyer Lansky and Frank Costello obtained photos of Hoover's alleged homosexual activity with longtime aide Clyde Tolson and used them to ensure that the FBI did not target their illegal activities.

SNIP...

The new book quotes two former Office of Strategic Services officials who said they saw pictures of Hoover engaged in a sexual act with Tolson. One, John Weitz, said he could not recognize anyone in the photo he was shown at a dinner party in the 1950s but was told by his host, whom he would not identify, that it depicted Hoover and Tolson.

Summers writes that electronics expert Gordon Novel said that CIA counterintelligence chief James J. Angleton, now deceased, showed him several photos, including one of Hoover engaged in sexual activity with Tolson.

Summers writes that the Mafia may have obtained the photos from the OSS, the forerunner to the CIA. He offers the theory that OSS chief William Donovan and Hoover, while feuding over control of foreign intelligence, investigated each other and Donovan came up with the photos.

What's really evil is what came later...

Joseph Adams Milteer pretty much outlined the 'official version of Dallas' before it happened.



A rabid right-wing racist who was tape-recorded by FBI detailing the assassination of JFK "with a high-powered rifle from a high-rise office building," then a couple of weeks later appears in photographs in Dealey Plaza should make the front page and lead every broadcast, but it doesn't, for some reason.



Milteer didn't know he was being taped by an FBI informant.

The late-FBI agent Don Adams, who interviewed Milteer, came forward a few years ago and reported the FBI intentionally obstructed justice in its investigation of Milteer and in its investigation of the assassination of President Kennedy.

Those with open minds also may want to learn about Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden, the first African American on the White House Secret Service detail who reported overt racism by his fellow agents and outright hostility toward the "n------loving president" and was railroaded after reporting what he saw to the Warren Commission.

These are fascinating facts hidden to much of the public -- but not DUers who like to learn.
