ALSO:  I recently added a new chapter pertaining to Harry J. Dean.  
Dean claims that in September 1963 he told the FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Los Angeles FBI field office about a plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy which was planned, financed, and executed by John Birch Society members.  Dean further claims that starting in 1960 and continuing through approximately May 1965, he was an FBI informant or confidential source who gave the FBI information regarding the JBS, Minutemen, and pro-Castro and anti-Castro individuals and groups.  My report on Dean may be seen here:  https://sites.google.com/site/xrt013/harrydean

This 193-page report explains why J. Edgar Hoover and senior FBI officials within the Bureau’s Domestic Intelligence Division concluded in FBI memos that the JBS was “extremist”, “irrational” and “irresponsible”
