When I recently received an anonymous email stating that Art Guerrilla was
really Kerry Thornley, it had a ring of truth to it for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, Kerry Thornley was a common, abrasive thug and a spook deeply involved
in implicating Lee Harvey Oswald in the assassination of JFK. He seems like the
kind of person that would post articles to alt.conspiracy.jfk at the behest of
the CIA or FBI. A "well-connected" loser who would do anything for a buck.
Secondly, the persona of Art Guerrilla reminded me of someone I had observed on
the same newsgroup a few years back who I suspected might be Kerry Thornley,
but he used a name other than Art Guerrilla. I checked my Internet records and
realized that the person’s name was Leo Sgouros.
Leo Sgouros was a squirrelly character who used to post similar nonsense on
this newsgroup on a regular basis (about three years ago) with little criticism
from the others. (Possibly his cubicle was next to Bill Cleere’s.)
I remembered Leo’s personality because he was such a relentless pest and
hooligan. I had observed that Leo had been publicly accused of forging
someone’s screen name and writing obscene, anti-Semitic nonsense in order to
smear the reputation of his victim. This was criminal behavior and it appeared
that Leo Sgouros was guilty (from my observation anyway).
When I wrote Opium Lords, I wrote a section about the exoneration of Oswald
where I mentioned Kerry Thornley (Chapter 6, p. 130) and how Jim Garrison
demonstrated that Thornley had apparently incriminated Oswald. And I
remembered that Garrison had found Thornley living in Tampa, Florida in 1968.
(Garrison, On the Trail of the Assassins, pp. 82-83) When I read this, I
recalled the persona of Leo Sgouros from a.c.jfk, but I had forgotten his name
at the time. I remembered, however, that this Internet brute (Leo) had claimed
to live in Tampa. In fact, Leo’s screen name was lsgouros1@tampabay.rr.com.
(I found this in my records today.)
I thought, that guy--Leo--might be Terry Thornley. But Thornley’s whereabouts
were not central to the theme of my book, so I never followed up on it until
recently. When I got the anonymous email stating that Art Guerrilla was Terry
Thornley, I thought that Thornley must have also been Leo Sgouros a few years
back and he was now Art Guerrilla.
While impersonating Lee Harvey Oswald, Thornley had apparently threatened to
kill Kennedy in front of witnesses prior to the assassination, but under the
name of "Leon" Oswald. (Garrison, p. 77) Consequently, this made the real
Oswald look awfully guilty.
Could Leon be Leo? And could Leo be Art? If so, then Art is Kerry. But Kerry
died in 1998. At least that’s the official story. Check out this "dead
guy’s" webpage:

Note the level of reverence in which his death is treated. To learn about his
passing, just go to the homepage and click "Kerry Went South." Really brings a
tear to one’s eye.
Also, a Jewish chick named Sondra London runs the site. Why is this dame the
webmaster of a site about a nobody like Kerry Thornley—especially after
he’s been dead for four and a half years? If you want to get a good look at
Thornley’s soul mate, just look at the following URL:

Doesn’t she look like someone you can trust? If she says Thornley is dead,
then has to be true. Right? Would someone with Sondra’s face lie to us?
Dead or alive, Thornley had a quasi-criminal personality quite similar to that
of Art Guerrilla and Leo Sgouros. In February 1964, Thornley reportedly wrote
to a friend and made the following reference to JFK:
"The whole thing was very interesting for awhile, the assassination—because
on the surface—there was good reason for the unenlightened SS [sic] and
F.B.I. to suspect I might’ve had a hand in it. We had some polite
conversations and finally, I guess, I was cleared. No word from them lately. I
hope, though, my move to this area scared the piss out of ‘em. Whether or not
I’ll be asked to put my 2 cents in at the Warren hearing, I don’t know. Or
care. When it’s all over, though, I may yet go piss on JFK’s grave, RIP.
(Garrison, pp. 89-90)
The last sentence in particular reminds me of good old Leo Sgouros and our
present buddy Art Guerrilla. But Kerry Thornley is dead, so we know he’s not
Art. Right?
