Military Historian claims WHAT WILL LATER BECOME CIA Assasinated Gen George Patton

after a decade-long investigation, military historian Robert Wilcox claims that OSS head General "Wild Bill" Donovan ordered a highly decorated marksman called Douglas Bazata to silence Patton


The newly unearthed diaries of a colourful assassin for the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the CIA, reveal that American spy chiefs wanted Patton dead because he was threatening to expose allied collusion with the Russians that cost American lives.

His book, "Target Patton", contains interviews with Mr Bazata, who died in 1999, and extracts from his diaries, detailing how he staged the car crash by getting a troop truck to plough into Patton's Cadillac and then shot the general with a low-velocity projectile, which broke his neck while his fellow passengers escaped without a scratch.

Mr Bazata also suggested that when Patton began to recover from his injuries, US officials turned a blind eye as agents of the NKVD, the forerunner of the KGB, poisoned the general.

The scenario sounds far fetched but Mr Wilcox has assembled a compelling case that US officials had something to hide. At least five documents relating to the car accident have been removed from US archives.

The driver of the truck was whisked away to London before he could be questioned and no autopsy was performed on Patton's body.

who knows?

Charles Province, President of the George S. Patton Historical Society, said he hopes the book will lead to definitive proof of the plot being uncovered.
 
How did the CIA kill Patton if the CIA was formed in 1947 and Patton died in 1945?

/confused

Am I missing something?

yes, you should probably read more than just the title to the thread. It's right there in the OP:


The newly unearthed diaries of a colourful assassin for the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the CIA
 
Well then why isn't the title Military Historian claims OSS Assassinated Gen George Patton?

I mean... CIA is only mentioned once in that article, as the Agency that succeeded the OSS.
 
because the OSS is just as well known as what they would eventually become. Your usual knitpicking has reached a new high (low depending on your pov)


just man up and admit you didnt read the OP
 
It's not nitpicking Stern. It's just getting the facts straight.
 
getting the facts straight when you couldnt even bother to read the OP? riiight, I'm sure you were concerned about accuracy
 
*facepalm*

Stern why do you never back down over anything?

Forerunner to the CIA =/= CIA. Cowman was right
 
If it's true, then Patton's true demise should be recognized by public understanding and history.

Also, just another skewered thread title by Stern. Guy knows how to troll, that's for sure.
 
Execute everybody involved and send their extended families to the work camps.
 
Just man up and admit it, Stern, like you tell everyone else to do :rolleyes:
 
*facepalms*

HAI GUYS BRITAIN FOUGHT THE AMERICAN-INDIANS. WELL AMERICA DID BUT AMERICANS CAME FROM BRITISH SETTLERS SO THAT MEANS THAT BRITISH DID IT RIGHT?!

-.-

Same concept, different variables. If you honestly can't see why you're wrong then I have to wonder how you can tie your own shoelaces.

not even remotely the same concept. you're talking about a period representing several hundred years whereas many of the same departments in the OSS became cia departments. This was a direct transfer of resources and departments


look, this isnt even remotely worth discussing. no wonder debates go nowhere; the main issues are ignored in favour of frivilous nonsense and waste-of-time nitpicking
 
Wow, walking in to this discussion was like walking in to a kindergarten class.

For real. It's perfectly reasonable to say that the CIA and OSS are pretty much the same thing since the Office of Strategic Services was phased out and replaced by (and shared staff/resources with) the CIA. They're different, yes, because they didn't coexist, but there's a lot of shared ground, and it's stupid to get hung up on whether or not this is the case because it makes no difference whatsoever and is a relatively insignificant quibble in relation to the rest of the OP.

Also, all of you Stern haters, you know you make yourselves look a lot worse than Stern by being petty, nitpicky, and obnoxious in response to everything he says. Doesn't matter if he's right or wrong or trolling or whatever, you guys are the ones that look like you're still in 3rd grade, while Stern must be in 5th at least by now.

For a change I wasn't being petty, nitpicky or obnoxious in this thread in relationship to CptStern. I was just stating my case.

I just think it's a bit silly is all, to try to attach the modern perceptions and activities of the CIA today and even far after their formation, to events that took place before their official formation is a bit silly.

That's like slapping the label of KGB on various Soviet activities during World War II and prior when in fact it was the NKVD... well before the creation of the KGB.
 
should the title be
Military Historian claims OSS Assasinated Gen George Patton not CIA seeings how it was the OSS =/
 
Let's get real anal about a detail so we can ignore the bigger issue. Go internet!

Hey, so the OSS is the CIA, right?

Nah man, nah man, nah man, nah.

Lemme break it down for you like this:

Yo, Im dancin on your grave like borishnikov,
Ill rip you off,
Leave you in the desert til the voltures strip your corpse,
Then rape your ****in wife, until my dick is soft
til the flesh is pealin off,
Im a devil consealed in cloth,
Walk, walk or get stabbed with a fork,
You got a hole in your stomach,
Yo plug it up with a cork, you dork,
Lots of blood loss, red cross,
Couldnt help your dead boss cut his head off,
Brutal, sadistic, the only way,
Ill be remembered, after Im dismemebered,
And my bones decay, a rap legend,
To the aggressionary session,
My invention of tention and powerful progression,
Its time, for sick rhymes, lunatic lines,
Hit your mind like with someones strict-nine,
For all the shell, clips and glocks,
You step to me with a weapon,
Youll be reppin your clique in a box
 
I think gremlins from the Kremlin assassinated him.
 
Boy,you people sure know how to run a thread into the ground. The anal retentiveness of some of you people never ceases to amaze me. Well done.
 
Well this thread turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Thanks guys.
