Gerry Hemming on E. Howard Hunt

Greg Burnham

This is a conversation between Gerry Patrick Hemming and myself (Greg Burnham) that took place in early 1999. The clip picks up just after I asked him if he knew E. Howard Hunt.

Gerry, in classic form, deftly dismisses Hunt as a “Hollywood type”. He compares Hunt to what is referred to in the paratrooper business as a “Hollywood Jump” [read: no equipment].

The disdain in his voice is palpable.

So that explains why E Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis' names keep popping up in the Bay of Pigs, JFK Assassination, and Watergate. They're just pawns/fall guys.

Just curious Greg what is your take on Watergate? What do you think Hunt and Sturgis were actually stealing? Do you think there is any connection to JFKs death?

Charles Colson and E Howard hunt were attempting to forge a signature on fake documents to make it seem as though JFK had ordered the hit on Diem. That was one of the purposes of the break-in, which failed. The other purpose appears to have been to compromise the Nixon White House, which succeeded.

Howdy, Stranger!
