Now for the Postscript
Want to really break open the head to allow greater perception? Want to play with the paranoia (parallel knowing) that is the method of the path of the Lucid View?
Welcome to James Shelby Downard Tunnel-Land.
I doubt anything I write can match what Downard did with a single essay—I simply don’t burrow far enough. I won’t feel surprised if this retreads connections made by others, including Downard, but I will set them down anyway, in the wake of the death of actor-activist Woody Harrelson’s father, Charles—a convicted hit-man with strange connections to the JFK assassination.
Burrow in a different reality tunnel for the moment; you can return to your habitual one as soon as you’re done reading.
Spectacular Realities: The Shadow of Woody’s Father
Woody Harrelson was born in Midland, Texas: one-time stomping ground of our very own Darth Vader (W.) and the Emperor (George H.W. Bush). Woody grew up, however, in Lebanon, Ohio, which connects us to the Lebanese-American mobster Jimmy Chagra, who hired Woody’s father, Charles, to murder federal judge John H. Wood in El Paso, Texas back in 1979. During the defense and throughout his incarceration, Charles claimed to have been in Dallas on the day of the shooting.
That takes us to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which took place in Dallas. When arrested for the Wood killing, Charles Harrelson confessed to both the murders of the federal judge and JFK. Woody starred in Oliver Stone’s film Natural Born Killers, playing a serial murderer, which in some sense, his father may have been (for hire, anyway). And most people know that the director of Natural Born Killers was Oliver Stone, the controversial director of JFK.
Stone’s conspiracy movie shows us the infamous three tramps photographed on the day of the assissination. (They’ve long since been “officially” identified, though that official story, like so many others, is open to plenty of doubt). One theory, however, vouched for by a now-deceased CIA-operative named Chauncey Holt, identified Charles Harrelson as one of the tramps. Harrelson claimed to have been elsewhere at the time—maybe he was in El Paso?
Woody Harrelson also starred in the Milos Foreman film The People vs. Larry Flynt, about the publisher of Hustler. A hustler is a common term used for a con man and, before his first conviction for a contract killing in 1968, Woody’s father was well-known as a hustler himself, a highly skilled card shark. Woody played a hustler of another kind, in the movie Kingpin. “Kingpin” is a term often used for crime-bosses; and Charles Harrelson had relationships with a few, including the aforementioned Jimmy Chagra and also Santos Traficante, who gets linked, along with Harrelson, to…the JFK assassination in this article.
Back to Larry Flynt.
Larry Flynt was the victim of an attempted assassination by a sniper outside of a Georgia courtroom in 1978, leaving him wheel-chair bound for life. (Recall that Charles Harrelson was convicted of successfully sniping a judge.) Although no official suspect has ever been charged, the white supremacist serial-killer Joseph Paul Franklin, who has been sentenced to death, claimed responsibility for the shooting. Franklin, like the elder Harrelson, was an excellent marksmen, killing most of his victims from over 100 ft. away. Woody, as stated earlier, played a serial killer, Mickey Knox, who murders a Native American man in Natural Born Killers.
Larry Flynt, for a time, was deeply obsessed with the JFK assassination and political conspiracies. During the 70’s, Hustler published exposes on the assassinations of not only JFK, but also RFK, MLK and Malcolm X, stories that mainstream media were loathe to touch at the time. At one point, Flynt even offered a $1 million dollar reward for information leading to the arrest of the person(s) responsible for the JFK assassination. Flynt also briefly published a magazine in the early 80’s called The Rebel, which published this article by legendary researcher Mae Brussels regarding a Nazi-connection to the JFK assassination.
Nazi connections bring us to Prescott Bush’s business dealings with Nazi front-companies during WWII. It also brings us to his son, George, who had some questionable Nazi-connected campaign workers in key places within his 1988 presidential campaign. George H.W. also purportedly used his oil company, Zapata Offshore, as cover for work as a CIA agent in the early 60’s. Said work may have included handling anti-Castro Cubans training for Operation Mongoose, who later, along with Bush himself, had curious ties to Dallas on November 22, 1963. And the original name of Operation Mongoose has been reported as Operation Zapata. Another man with possible Operation Mongoose ties was…Charles Harrelson, who lived in Midland, Texas during the early 1960’s.
George H. W. Bush founded his oil company in Midland, Texas in the late 50’s. And Midland, Texas is the birthplace of Woody Harrelson.
So now we’ve come full circle.
One last connection: Woody Harrelson got his break playing a bartender on the sitcom Cheers. His father allegedly got an early break working at a bar…owned by Jack Ruby, the killer of alleged JFK lone-gunman Lee Harvey Oswald.
Just Scratching the Surface
I’m no substitute for the late Downard, as I’ve mentioned. In addition to the connections I’ve made here, he certainly would have gone much further—connecting the meanings of place names and surnames to the symbolism of religion, mysticism, and without doubt, secret societies.
But perhaps, I’ll return to this much later. In the meantime, maybe someone like Freeman will pick up where I’ve left off.
