What Do You Know About U.S. Col. L Fletcher Prouty -- the Real-Life "Man X" in Oliver Stone's 'JFK'?

Yep. A very good resource for those who want to know the real low-down ( instead of the self-fabricated imaginings of so many loons.)

Len Osanic Eulogizes Col. L. Fletcher Prouty

I regret to announce the passing of Fletcher Prouty June 5th 2001.

"Fletch" as most close friends called him was a man of rare qualities. I was lucky enough to become one of his good friends. I treasured every conversation we had.

Fletcher was very hard working and to his wife's lament never knew the word "Retirement". After his service in the Pentagon, by accident he stumbled into a writing career that will keep his wisdom and spirit alive for years to come.

Fletcher wrote, lectured, spoke on Radio shows, and was on Television many times, often regarding political intrigue from Watergate to the JFK Assassination. Of course he worked with Oliver Stone, Jim Garrison, and Zachary Sklar on the film "JFK"

Fletcher Prouty was one of the most warm and amiable men you could ever meet. Almost endlessly, people from around the world came to visit and interview him. All you had to do was ask and he would give of his time. It will be his selfless and dogged effort to educate and inform that I feel he will be remembered for. For there was much opposition to the ideas Fletcher wrote about.

Whenever I was at his upstairs office at his home there was always a stack of letters that he would be replying to. Not a few, but a stack!

He wrote two books and close to 100 articles for various publications. I know he was very proud of everything thing he had written, but especially his two books, "The Secret Team", and "JFK, Vietnam the CIA, and the plot to assassinate JFK".

He had a wisdom that inspired many to look behind the story. This came out in his writing, the idea that things were so many times not what they were reported by news organizations. In response (or retaliation) he had suffered personal attacks in the press, but told me several times he was just "trying to level the playing field". He was truly a man of his convictions. He will be remembered for his integrity and courage.

Fletcher Prouty was the most intelligent man I knew. He was always up on current events, yet he had a strange habit these days. He never watched TV. And through a few phone calls to his network of associates and friends thoughout the world, he seemed to be better off and more informed than most which is a sad state for the news coverage today.

The power or articulation was another of Fletcher's gifts. He could speak at great lengths without having to correct himself or backtracking, which made him very easy to listen to.

He was very organized with his thoughts and those of us who sat through long conversations can attest to his attention to detail in describing events of the cold war period.

I consider myself a better person for knowing Fletcher Prouty. I am indebted to him for all his time he shared so unselfishly. He will be sorely missed.

His Funeral will be at the Arlington National Cemetary July 6th 2001 1pm

In lieu of flowers the family has asked to make a donation to a local Humane society

Interesting Fletcher Prouty site about JFK:

[link to www.john-f-kennedy.net]

Prouty also said that KAL Flight 007 was destroyed by a bomb over the Sea of Japan and not shot down by the Soviets, as widely believed. No wreckage or bodies were ever found.

I know that he claims to have seen a newspaper in NZ on the morning that JFK was shot that had details regard LHO that had yet to be uncovered and since NZ is 12-14 hours ahead, it was a virtual impossibility for them to have known those details at that time.

Media deception in it's infancy.

Similar to the BBC reporting the collapse of WTC 7 before it happened.
