... The Midwestern stews perceived Cooper as having no accent, which meant he either had a broad "North American" English accent or a Midwestern one that people with the same accent might not note. Anyway, New York is not the Midwest, Hahneman is mentioned as having a NY accent, and no one anywhere would fail to notice that or confuse it with any other. The accent alone should eliminate him as Cooper....
Ahem, Ms. Lynn. Tina was from Philly, Florence was from Arkansas, and only Alice was from the mid-west - Minnesota. Just sayin'. Doesn't necessarily change your hypothesis or conclusions, but I do like to keep facts flowing when I can.
A few updates..
Hijacker Frederick William Hahneman's brother's name is "William Henry Hahneman"
A news report quoted a stew stated the hijacker later identified as Hahneman had
NO ACCENT.. and Latin appearance
Lycopodium Clavatum is a long known homeopathic "remedy" for cancer. Hahneman claimed he had cancer and six months to live in May 1972. Cooper's tie had Lycopodium Clavatum on it, Kaye believed it was from a pill form.
Hahneman worked as an electrical engineer for Philco, that was probably a unit called Philco TechRep Division a subsidiary of Ford..
added note: The Philco TechRep Division has its own tie pin. The Cooper tie had holes from a pin.
I believe I have deciphered the purpose of the following questioning of E. Howard Hunt by Senator Nedzi...
Besides Watergate,, Hunt was running a CIA operation on "Swan Island" which played a role in Guatemala's Overthrow Arvenz, anti Castro and Bay of Pigs operations..
it was manned by CIA and Philco TechReps.. Even found some "Air America references to Swan Island.
Frank Sturgis was connected to the mob and the CIA working against Castro..
"Philco TechReps" were contractors used by the gov and military all over the world, even for classified ops. Hahneman claimed to have worked in Vietnam, Cambodia, Guatemala and Honduras.
IMO, Nedzi was alluding that Hahneman may have been involved in the CIA's Swan Island operations..
"Mr. Nedzi. Do you know anybody by the name of George Ames, Mr. Hunt?
Mr. Hunt. Is that a true name or a pseudonym ? No name comes to mind. I can give you off the top of my head "No."
Mr. Nedzi. When you worked in Central America, did you ever have occasion to come in contact with individuals working on electronic installation contracts in Guatemala, or any place else in Central America ?
Mr. Hunt. I may have. I can't think of any. I was involved in the operation "Overthrow Arvens" in Guatemala, you know. We used the [deleted] subsidiary as a part of our communications network. If you could be more specific. That is the only connection I can think of, sir.
And I don't know the names of anybody after this lapse of time. Mr. Nedzi. Do you know anyone by the name of Frederick William Hahneman?
Mr. Hunt. Hahneman ?
Mr. Nedzi. Yes, H-a-h-n-e-m-a-n.
Mr. Hunt. No, sir. Not to the best of my recollection.
Mr. Nedzi. Do you have any knowledge of the May 5, 1972, hijacking of the Eastern Airlines flight from Allentown, Pa., to Washington, to Miami.
Mr. Hunt. No, sir.
Mr. Nedzi. Do you know whether Frank Sturgis was involved while in Honduras or elsewhere in Central America with Hahneman or George Ames ?
Mr. Hunt. I have no knowledge of either of the names. I have no knowledge of Frank Sturgis' activities there.
Mr. Nedzi. Do you have any questions ?
Mr. Hogan. No, sir.
Mr. Nedzi. Were you involved in any operations of any kind in Miami before the Democratic National Convention?
Mr. Hunt. I was involved in the contemplation of operations that might at one time come to pass, but which did not. Operations per se, no, sir, aside from an assist I gave to Segretti. Mr. Nedzi. What did that consist of ?
Mr. Hunt. That consisted of his requirement for a printer who could be trusted, and through Mr. Barker I got the name of the printer, and that name was passed on to him and I believe he used that printer. What they printed, I don't know."
