RICHARD CASE NAGELL'S 'ICO' PUZZLES

We can see many erasure areas on the SSS card because the erased areas obviously persist. “Richard Case Nagell” anagrams to:

“A.H. CARD, L ERASE CLING”

Or,

“ERASE CLING L A.H. CARD”

The alias signature is in bright green ink. “Richard Case Nagell” anagrams to:

“L.H CARD, GREEN ALIAS. C”

David probably noticed when he was aligning the head on the Alek J Hidell card on the other thread that it needed to be straightened roughly 4 degrees. “Richard Case Nagell” anagrams to:

“L.H. ALIAS, 4 DEG ARC. RCN”

And “Richard Case Nagell” anagrams to:

“A RICHARD C’S L ANGLE, 4”

(In CE 133A and 133C, the subject is also at a 4 degree tilt. "Lee Harvey Oswald" anagrams to "LHO SWAY REVEALED", "L HEAD OVERLAY WES" etc.)

The Lee H Oswald DD Form 1173 is green. “Richard Case Nagell” anagrams to:

“ALAS, L GREENISH CARD”

Or,

"A L CARD, a la GREENISH"

Seeming to refer to the 1173 card in Lee's wallet on 11/22, “Lee Harvey Oswald” anagrams to:

“22, O LEAVE AYERS' 1173”

And,

“WE’VE A AYERS' 1173. LO

There's been much discussion on this thread about the puzzling stamped circles in the area of the 1173 photo. “Richard Case Nagell” anagrams to:

“1173 CIRCLE AREA SNAG”

In the exact center of these circles on the card is a capital letter “G”. “Richard Case Nagell” anagrams to:

“N CIRCLES A 1173 ‘G’ AREA”

Referring to the Ayers signature with the strange flying lowercase “e” at the end, “Lee Harvey Oswald” anagrams to:

“AYERS 1173, LO WAVE ‘E’”

Or,

"LO 1173, AYERS WAVE 'E'"

There’s a bunch more and I’ll try to compile them into a proper post. But my point is that a major story telling technique of Richard Nagell’s “ICO” group was to create enigmatic events for us to notice and solve, and many, if not most, had their roots in naturally occurring full anagrams of the names of the ICO members. Most of the examples above are not very informational, they are there to let us know that the ICO group was intentionally creating events. Many of these corresponding anagrams/events, however, turn into, or lead to, information-packed puzzles. 

Maybe in my old age, I’ll start living out the anagrams of my name. This would mean that I’d take up nude skydiving, become a professional jockey, always wear a red propeller beanie, have an image of Pee-wee Herman tattooed to my forehead, and subsist on a diet of nothing but Kumquats. And that’s just the short list. 

Anagrams as self-fulfilling prophesies. Please believe that I have anagrammed the daylights out of all of my friends names, and once in awhile, I find something interesting that pertains to them, and I surprise them with it. Start anagramming “Richard Case Nagell”, “Lee Harvey Oswald”, and “Igor Vladimirs Vaganov (which I submit was a created name), and you will find many, if not most, of the confounding enigmas associated with the assassination. Start solving ICO's anagram puzzles, and you may discover that everything is connected.

I don’t think this has been mentioned before, but take a look at the top line of the bottom two paragraphs on the Hidell card. The word “violation” has been toyed with. This, I submit, was so it would be noticed and I think I know why, but I’ll leave it to you to discuss what you believe it says. Something similar happened to the number "62" on Nagell's phony version of Oswald's 1173 card.

A=0)(B=1)(C=2)(D=3)(E=4)(F=5)(G=6)(H=7)(I=8)(J=9)(K=10)(L=11)(M=12)(N=13)(O=14)(P=15)(Q=16)(R=17)(S=18)(T=19)(U=20)(V=21)(W=22)(X=23)(Y=24)(Z=25)

The following post got quickly buried on “The Stamp on the Military ID card” thread, and I think it’s worthy of consideration by those comparing photos of Oswald. Since I seem to be mainly talking to myself, I’ll post my subsequent takes on Oswald’s DD Form 1173 here.

Because of their interest in the Harvey and Lee aspect, this post is mostly directed to David, Jim D, and, Jim H, and it’s about “ears”. 

Since the subjective puzzle system I’m working with doesn’t appear to yield information about Lee Harvey Oswald and his twin (figurative or literal twin?) before about 1957, and there’s what I might call ‘hints‘ that Richard Nagell worked with the twins for six years, I can’t make any guesses about H&L’s childhood from the puzzles. 

Without bombarding you with anagrams, I’ll just present one anagram that is an idealized representative of others. “Richard Case Nagell” anagrams to:

“RC CHANGE ALL ID EARS”

Years ago, before my puzzle skills improved, one thing that put me off about the Harvey and Lee scenario was that, while I agreed that the photos of the adult Lee Oswald were suspiciously variable, LHO’s ears were always characteristically the same. 

While it may not be 100% true, I’ll bet we’ve all heard that ears are like fingerprints, that no two are the same.

And I’ll also bet that the “ear” problem has bothered the Harvey and Lee folks too.

In the most vocal public statement of Richard Case Nagell’s life, while he was being arrested in El Paso for blasting a couple of holes in the wall of a bank, he blurted out:

“CAPITALISTIC SWINE”

And this is one of his most important puzzles. Without attempting to solve it here, I’ll just mention the two anagrams that literally fall out of “Capitalistic Swine”:

“CIA TWIN SPECIALIST”

And,

“L/I, TWIN CIA PATSIES. C”

“I” is always LHO’s ‘twin”, “I” stands for “Igor”, and I part company with the Harvey and Lee scenario on this point: Igor, Case, and Oswald, were on the same side - ICO - good guys. 

Summary: "RC CHANGE ALL ID EARS"

I'm still working on the DD Form 1173 puzzles, but right now my guess would be that the photo is of Marina's husband's doppelganger wearing Marina's husband's ears.

Notice the green “F” in the upper right corner of the Alek J Hidell SSS card. It also appears to be the same color as the “Alek J. Hidell” signature. 

The ideal puzzle phrase for this "F" anomaly appears to be, “GREEN CORNER ‘F’”. This anagrams to:

“FORGER, Nee RCN”

Moving to the left to the green alias edge, “GREEN ALIAS EDGE” appears to be the intended phrase, and this anagrams to:

“ID, GAGE LEE EARS. N”

And yes, “GAGE” is an acceptable alternative spelling for “GAGUE”.

The next anagram appears to direct us to the N 4, 271, 617 ID card, which contains the same photo. “GREEN ALIAS EDGE” anagrams to:

“N 4... ID, LEE EARS GAG”

And,

"i.e. GI EARS DANGLE"

And,

"GEE, 'I' EARS DANGLE"

From everything I’ve seen so far, much of the ID cards puzzle material is suggesting that this is a photo of Lee’s doppelganger Igor, and he’s wearing Lee’s ears. The LO ears are extra big and extra low by design, because this gag is suggested by several anagrams of Lee Harvey Oswald, and Richard Case Nagell. 

"Lee Harvey Oswald" anagrams to:

“YO, A LEE’S 1173 WEAR V”

“YO, V HEAD, EAR SWELL”

“YE V HEAD, LOW L EARS”

“V HEAD, LOWLEY EARS”

etc.

There’s more to come.
