Still pushing my way thru the doc release.... lol Yet found this in the HSCA alphabetized subject files.... Sawyer appears to have been yet another in the help to convict Ozzie... case in point: Mr. BELIN. All right, in any event--pardon me, do you have anything else to add? Mr. SAWYER. Also, there was a broadcast here in the transcript about the railroad yard. Mr. BELIN. All right. Mr. SAWYER. And this could be part of what I was thinking about, or what I had heard, was this broadcast on the radio about the railroad yard. Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do? You went inside the building, is that correct? Mr. SAWYER. We immediately went inside the building. I took--I believe Sgt. Harkness may have gone with me. I am not positive of that. Mr. BELIN. Was the elevator on the first floor when you got there, or did you have to wait for it to come down? Mr. SAWYER. Best of my recollection, it was there. Mr. BELIN. You got to the elevator, went up, looked around back there. How long did you spend up there at the top floor that the elevator took you to? Mr. SAWYER. Just took a quick look around and made sure there was nobody hiding on that floor. I doubt if it took over a minute at the most. Mr. BELIN. To go up and look around and come down? Mr. SAWYER. To look around on the floor. How long it took to go up, it couldn't have been over 3 minutes at the most from the time we left, got up and back down. Mr. BELIN. Then that would put it around no sooner than 12:37, if you heard the call at 12:34? Mr. SAWYER. Yes, sir.

In a new write-up just completed today, JA shows how evidence for the mail order rifle was clearly fabricated. Highlights include: * Records indicating Oswald never left Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall the morning of 3/12/63 to travel several miles to buy and mail the magic Postal money order that was never endorsed or date stamped by a bank or other financial institution. * Proof that the FBI for nearly a week (after allegedly analyzing the Oswald/Hidell handwriting on a Klein's order form) couldn't decide whether the gun cost $21.95, $12.78, or $21.45. * Proof that the FBI fabricated and often backdated numerous reports and other “evidence” about the alleged payment for the weapon that allegedly killed JFK. Original Klein's microfilm and the original postal money order disappeared while in FBI custody. * Real evidence that Dallas postal inspector/FBI informant Harry Holmes was intimately involved in fabricating evidence for the mail order rifle.

Since I am of the conclusion Oswald did not go to MX at all in Sept/Oct 1963... any and all evidence of said travel must be fabricated for OSWALD from either real evidence for someone else or from thin air. This means the "car" story is also part of the plan for Phase 1: Oswald the conspirator... and never happened. So let's look at some of the evidence suggesting he took a car.... and/or was driven. ================ When we understand he was in Dallas at Odio and then at the shooting range that weekend, you can begin to see what the FBI did. Yet initially they were given info via the I&NS thru Hosty to Hoover on Oct 18th.... Lee HARVEY again... We will see down below how different info goes to different people at diff times... "At 2:05 pm, 11/27/63, while talking to Inspector Don Moore of Division 5 .... . I read to him an article from The Houston Press, dated 11/27/63, which was telephonically furnished to this office ..... in which article stated Oswald left the US by private car, ownership unknown, and returned on 10/3/63, through Laredo, Texas. He advised that Oswald did travel by car and did return to the US through Laredo, Texas on 10/3/63." (FBI memorandum from ASAS J.T. Sylvester, Jr., to SAC New Orleans, 11/27/63.) The FBI finds the initial evidence points to Oswald having traveled by car. Yet then proceeds to take the next 8 months proving he took a bus. The story of the BRILL's results... and again the "car" theory is not corroborated..... So is the car story simply that? The CIA - D A Phillips - creating a circumstance where conspiracy MUST be considered seriously... now we can see how ALVARADO and his $6500 red-headed negro fits.... He is driven down to MX to get paid to kill JFK to then escape thru Cuba to Russia - pure PHASE 1 He cannot be driven down since he was a Lone Nut unconnected to anyone - conspiracy car becomes Lone bus - pure Phase 2. The evidence of Oswald taking a car into and out of Mexico is just as poor as the subsequently invented evidence of the FBI and their Gobernacion asset(s). It is impossible to proceed unless there is awareness of both the CIA and FBI assets entrenched within the Mexican Government from which the desired "scenario" could be developed.... We start with the manner in which the State Dept gets their info for the following telegram.... In Warren Commission Document 442 we find a telegram from Mexico City to Sec of State Rusk stating the records show on October 3, 1963 a Lee HENRY Oswald left Mexico by Automobile. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10876&relPageId=9 NONE, I repeat none of the evidence has the name HENRY... (see bottom image) so why would MANN use it? One last bit of intrigue is the statement that “the IMMIGRATION RECORDS show entry into Mexico of one Lee HENRY Oswald” when there is not a single piece of I&NS evidence that substitutes HENRY for HARVEY as either his middle or in the case of Mr. H.O. LEE, his first name. In fact the 3x5 cards from which this information originates, which in turn came from the FM-11 coming from the FM-8 visa all says HARVEY (images and links earlier in this document) while the exit information refers to Harvey Oswald LEE. The FM11 is the source for the information given to Tijerina to type up for Harvey CASH of the US consulate at Nuevo Laredo. It is also proven that the FBI asset who provided this document "added notes and details to aid clarity" #99 is Harvey Oswald Lee... who will be listed and alphabetized under "O" as opposed to "L" - his traveling last name... On page 23 of CE2121, after the name Buell Moore and before Maurice Ouellet we have “HARVEY OSWALD LEE, FM-8 #24085”. Except according to the Mexican officials, they believed the passenger’s name from the visa was Lee, Harvey Oswald which becomes “H.O. Lee” on his departing documents. LEE comes well before MOORE. In fact, Mr. LEE should have been #800 before Mr. Mason. One has to wonder who in Mexico would have known this passenger to be Mr. OSWALD when preparing this list as opposed to Mr. LEE as stated by his travel documents. The CIA, by 7pm on 11/23 had received info from US Consulate at NUEVO LAREDO (Harvey CASH)... yet what CASH tells the CIA is not the same as what he tells I&NS... I&NS in turn relays info to FBI SA Hosty.... CIA and the STATE dept are initially pushing the Oswald-Castro conspiracy while FBI and I&NS are being misled by these two... The CIA's Nov 23rd note about the car travel COMES from CASH yet stays within the CIA/STATE partnership. Despite all the evidence showing HARVEY... Amb MANN still sends that note I posted above (NOT using STATE Dept Channels??) as I felt, the STATE dept would help the CIA with the CASTRO PLANNED IT charade... and then enter Alvarado on the 26th to tell his "Oswald gets money" story. The theory I am putting forth is that all records related to Oswald going to and coming from Mexico City are part of a 2-phase (PD Scott) plan to first "suggest" a Cuban conspiracy thru the evidence, remind people of Oswald in Mexico talking to KOSTIKOV (which of course he never did) and begin letting out created evidence which backs the story... when that effectively stops inquiry and the idea of a conspiracy is simply too much for LBJ to shoulder... the LNers come out of the woodwork... In the afternoon of the 22nd, within hours of the assassination, "Presidential staff" arrived at all 4 bus lines in MX and took the pertinent records for the 26th/27th and the 2nd/3rd ONLY. They even went as far as to get the copies of these records from the different border towns as well... Arturo BOSCH's changes to the Frontera manifest to get Oswald onto an Oct 2nd 2pm bus is a great example... when the travel could not get him to agree with the established FACTS, they changed it so it would. Problem being that the "car to MX" story has just as many problems as the "bus to MX". Unless the idea was to covertly get Oswald into Mexico to stage the Sept 27th events... That STILL does not account for the calls/transcripts from the 28th, 1st, or 3rd.

Absolutely insane amount of pages 75K on Frank Sturgis. In comparison to a Oswald file posted at that1archive it amounts to almost double Oswald's file size. From the page: his 75,253 page FBI file is more than four times as long as the FBI file on Watergate and almost twice as long as the combined Watergate and Kennedy assassination FBI files. Most of these pages have never been released, and if they were released it was in a highly redacted form. The file covers his paramilitary activities in Cuba, his ties to assassins and assassination plots, accusations about involvement in the Kennedy assassination and meeting with Lee Harvey Oswald, his confirmed CIA employment, his involvement in the break-in of the Chilean embassy, and possibly much more. https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2016/sep/21/frank-sturgis-crowdfund/ Just to clarify this is a FOIA req. for the files. But the sheer size of it all is simply mind boggling.

I am not sure why this happened yesterday, but prodigious FOIA pack-rat Michael Best uploaded a pretty heavy 1981 FOIA release by the FBI of all the George DeMohrenschildt material that the bureau felt was safe for public consumption at the time. It's a 2249-page .pdf file and you can download it here. It had been freed up, back in the day, by the late, great Harold Weisberg. My best guess from this Weisberg papers finding aid is that this was not uploaded by Michael Best to archive.org last year in the monolithic bundle before. I could be wrong about that. Regardless, if anyone catches something interesting in this specific FOIA release, feel free to share it below and I will do the same

Thomas Evan Robinson was the mortician. 1) Mr. Robinson said there was a "large gaping wound in the BACK OF THE HEAD." He told Joe West that “stretching a piece of rubber over it” had covered it. He also felt the skull was "full of Plaster of Paris." 2) He noted a "smaller wound in the right temple" (1/4" across) that was so near the hairline that it was covered from sight. He would plug this wound with wax. (Remember Malcolm Kilduff’s pointing to the temple?) 3) He said he patched two shrapnel wounds to JFK's face with wax.

Good Day.... This is the audio recording of an interesting 11-22-13 interview accomplished with the ARRB's Deputy Director (and a judge), THOMAS E. SAMOLUK. Interestingly, in 1996 Mr. SAMOLUK stated to researcher VINCE PALAMARA that when Mr. SAMOLUK had been speaking directly with JFK's White House Aide and very good friend, DAVID POWERS, that POWERS, "agreed with your take on the Secret Service"....

Good Day.... FYI.... http://www.dailymail...nstruction.html <QUOTE> Found: The Only Full-color Footage of Remarkable JFK Assassination Reconstruction School project leads principal to previously unseen video of assassination re-enactment Video had been sitting in the Lemons' kitchen cupboard for more than four decades City of Dallas planning ceremony with the tolling of church bells, a moment of silence and readings from JFK's most famous speeches 45-minute memorial will be free and open to the public By DAILY MAIL REPORTER PUBLISHED: 20:00 EST, 21 November 2012 | UPDATED: 23:18 EST, 21 November 2012 A school project centered around the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has unearthed a previously unseen video - a re-enactment of one of America's most historic moments. Seventh-grader Alyssa Leverton immersed herself in all things JFK for a school project about his death and the conspiracy theories that followed. The report was so well done that it was featured at a state competition, a feather in the cap of Miss Leverton's principal Mike Merrell, who boasted about the comprehensive assignment to anyone who would listen. Reconstruction: The video shows an agent posing as John F. Kennedy, with markings showing where the president had been shot PHOTO http://i.dailymail.c...239_634x469.jpg Catalyst: The discovery stemmed from a school project by seventh-grader Alyssa Leverton, who had immersed herself in all things Kennedy for the report Scene of the crime: Bobby Lemons' camera was rolling as he captured a federal investigation of the JFK assassination in Dallas - months after it happened One of a kind: The Lemons' footage is the only known color video of the reconstruction Bobby and Jan Lemons were no different, but they had something to add to the conversation - the only full-color video of a subsequent investigation into Kennedy's death. KTAB News reported that the video had been sitting in a kitchen cupboard in the Lemons' Big Country, Texas, home for decades. They said that they were a young couple when they visited Dallas in 1964 - months after Kennedy's death. As they arrived at the fateful roadway in Dealey Plaza, they found federal officials conducting a reconstruction of the murder. Mr Lemons took out his camera and began filming as they witnessed an agent posing as Kennedy, with markings showing where the president had been shot. It's the only known color video of the investigation. Planning: Officials can be seen staging the re-enactment as a man posing as Kennedy can be seen in the back seat PHOTO http://i.dailymail.c...291_306x423.jpg http://i.dailymail.c...268_306x423.jpg They didn't know what they had: The video sat in Jan and Bobby Lemons' kitchen cupboard for nearly 50 years. They were a young couple when they caught the re- enactment in 1964 PHOTO http://i.dailymail.c...841_634x465.jpg Hindsight: Activity can be seen at the window from which Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy in the re-enactment video PHOTO http://i.dailymail.c...-83_634x421.jpg The real thing: President Kennedy smiles in the sun as he rides from the Dallas airport into the city with his wife and Texas Governor John Connally in a photo taken moments before he was shot Until they showed the video to Mr Merrell, the couple believed that what they had was of little significance. They have since donated the video to the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas, which is located in the book depository from which Lee Harvey Oswald fired the fatal shots on Kennedy. Earlier this week, the city of Dallas announced that it will mark the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination next year with a ceremony featuring the tolling of church bells, a moment of silence and readings by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough from the president's speeches. 'I think what we want to do is focus on the life and legacy and leadership of President Kennedy,' Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said on Tuesday. Mayor Rawlings added: 'The tone is going to be serious, simple, respectful, and it's going to be about his life.' The commemoration on November 22, 2013, will take place in Dealey Plaza, where Kennedy's motorcade through downtown Dallas was passing as shots rang out. PHOTO http://i.dailymail.c...111_634x501.jpg Fateful Ride: President John F. Kennedy, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, and Texas Governor John Connally ride in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963 The ceremony will begin at 12:25pm with the tolling of church bells across the city, followed by a moment of silence at 12:30pm, the time of the shooting. The Warren Commission that investigated the president's death concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald fired at Kennedy's motorcade from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository and acted alone. Rawlings convened a committee of more than two dozen Dallas civic leaders to decide how to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the assassination. He said the committee decided the commemoration should be a tribute to Kennedy's life. He added that students throughout the city will be learning about Kennedy and talking about ways they can fulfill his charge to think about what they can do for their country. PHOTO http://i.dailymail.c...925_634x417.jpg The Arrival: President Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy shake hands with dignitaries at Love Field airport in Dallas, Texas The ceremony, expected to last about 45 minutes, also will feature a performance by the U.S. Naval Academy Men's Glee Club in honor of Kennedy, who was a U.S. Navy veteran. Religious leaders will offer prayers and a benediction, and there will be a military flyover. 'This is an important day in a lot of people's lives – this is true for people throughout the world,'; Rawlings said. McCullough has written acclaimed biographies of Presidents Harry S. Truman and John Adams. He's won two Pulitzer Prizes as well as many other awards. The memorial will be free and open to the public.
