[…] at least four successive versions (or falsifications) of Silvia Duran’s so-called statement of November 23,1963, to the Mexican DFS (Dirección Federal de Seguridad), about her interviews of Oswald in the Cuban Consulate. The successive changes mirror the shift in the Mexico City CIA Station’s view of Oswald, from a ‘phase-one’ position (Oswald was part […]
[…] no one will deny that. It is essential, first and foremost because it is conclusive. From this point forward, no reasonable person can argue that Lee Harvey Oswald was innocent….He establishes that Oswald fired three shots from the window of the Texas School Book Depository…. No shots – not hits or misses – were […]
[…] Lee Harvey Oswald’s visit to Mexico shortly before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. What was the purpose of Oswald’s visit to Mexico City? Was it Oswald or an impostor who visited the Cuban and Soviet embassies? And what was the role of the local CIA station in all this? Such questions remain […]
[…] chunks of the CIA’s covert activities in the 1950s and 60s: Armstrong wants us to see what the Agency is known to have been doing while the Oswald story unfolded. But his thesis that the CIA killed JFK and framed Oswald fails for the same reason that previous versions of this have failed: no […]
Introduction: Lee Harvey Oswald and New Orleans Lee Harvey Oswald, like his mother Marguerite Oswald (née Claverie), was born in New Orleans, on 18th October 1939, and spent his first five years in the Crescent City. In early 1944 Mrs Oswald moved to Dallas with Lee and his half-brother, John Pic. She changed addresses […]
[…] to do the same to Castro. Were there no plausible alternatives to the giant conspiracy view one would have to accept it. But a view of either Oswald the ‘lone nut’ or some meta-conspiracy is false. The absence of a decent investigation, the on-going cover-up, and the murder itself can be explained without the […]
[…] ensured the silence of the Washington political establishment. As for the various intelligence and law enforcement agencies, first and foremost they had to bury their links with Oswald. The FBI had to conceal the fact that they knew of Oswald but had not kept tabs on him; or, worse, that he was working for […]
[…] the alleged remarks made by Trafficante and others can be construed as direct threats or, more likely, expressions of what they hoped would happen. Mafia links to Oswald. These are so removed from Oswald, essentially his uncle in New Orleans, as to be irrelevant. Buffs who take these seriously are clutching at straws, particularly […]
[…] in the testimony of lawyer Dean Andrews who claimed that, following the assassination, he had received a phone call from ‘Bertrand’ asking him to represent Lee Harvey Oswald. Andrews already knew Oswald slightly having dealt with problems connected with Oswald’s Marine Discharge papers; and ‘Bertrand’ from his involvement with same ‘gay Mexican kids’. Andrews […]
[…] correct about Shaw’s biography after all. DiEugenio produces more than enough evidence to confirm first, that Shaw did indeed use the alias Bertrand, second, that he knew Oswald, and third, that he was a significant CIA asset. (7) Clay Shaw, CMC and Permindex Shaw’s intelligence connections appear to go back to World War Two. […]
