Can you briefly explain the need for bumping?

Are you afraid that there are some members who would like to join your topic, but won't because they look only at page-1 topics? (FWIW, I generally look at pages 1 and 2, and sometimes 3. There are plenty of page 1 threads I have little interest in.)

 

Slightly paranoiac?

Uhhhh ..... maybe because I'm almost constantly editing and / or augmenting?

Just a wild guess.

LOL


I just figured that if I understood your reason for bumping, maybe I could help out by bumping posts for you. (I never bump, so I can afford to do some bumping.)

You know, don't you, that you can do massive editing without bumping? Just do all your editing on an existing post. Then when you're done, bump it.

That's not true. Your interjected remark changed the meaning of what I'd written.

 

Dear Sandy,

Do you really think that it was my intent to change the meaning of what you'd said?

Really?

Even though I just might have been clarifying for others (and maybe even "highly-experienced" you) that the date in late September that Duran and Azcue were referring to when they collectively described the "Oswald" with which they'd dealt face-to-face was "blond, blond or dark blond," "short", "35-ish," "thin-bodied," and "very thin-faced" was (oops!)  Friday the 27th, and not Saturday, September 28th, or any other day. (Date "boo-boo" voluntarily and sheepishly corrected by Tommy Graves)

LOL

Don't get all paranoid on me, now.

(Thanks for kinda de-railing my thread, btw.)

At the time I did. I thought that you were qualifying or clarifying what I'd written. I figured you must know something I didn't know. And I wanted to know what that was.

Fantastic.

So, where WERE we an hour or so ago on this thread?

You could bump a pertinent reply of yours IF YOU WANTED TO, I suppose, or if you prefer, we could go on quibbling about my irritating bumping habits and my recent, audaciously devious ....... "insertion" ..... ad nauseum.

Or shall I bump us back on track in another 23 hours, or so?

Thomas - Is this all fun and games to you, or do you honestly believe that the USSR was behind the assassination of JFK? I've read all the material you posted here. I'm not sure if either or both Golitsyn and Nosenko were real defectors or double agents. I am sure that using a very late Angleton interview, or a National Enquirer article, offers little credibility. The HSCA testimony of Azcue e is interesting and thought provoking. What is your knowledge of Leonov's fluency in English? Azcue strikes me as a more reliable witness than Duran, if only because Duran was subject to pressure and torture by the DFS. The fact that Leonov was photographed 11 minutes prior to Oswald's appearance at the Cuban Embassy is in itself meaningless. 

At least we have you out if the closet now. No wonder you won't articulate your theory. It's absurd, unless of course you want to go deep and claim that in the deep state KGB and CIA were allies. Is that your opinion?

Paul,

If you read some of the books and articles about their respective "careers" as defectors, you'd realize that Golitsyn helped to uncover many more important Soviet spies than Nosenko ever did, and that the KGB briefly shut down its operations in something like 54 of its stations right after Golitsyn defected due to KGB's leaders realizing he knew so darn much about different KGB operatives and operations, and that he was willing to "spill the beans" to the CIA and FBI.

Wikipedia is a good place to start your research on them, IMHO.

If Mexico City Soviet Embassy-based KGB officer Nikolai Leonov was, as I firmly believe, the blond guy photographically "captured" in the October 2, 1963, LILYRIC and LILIMITED photos, above, then the CIA most certainly knew who and what he was at the time (as is indicated by their writing his abbreviated name "Leon" below photo #6 of the October 2 film strip -- and by typing it on the October 2 LILYRIC index), so the most intriguing question for me is why the CIA didn't "out" him to the HSCA, and the only non-conspiratorial reason I can think of is that the CIA didn't want the Ruskies to know that they knew who and what the little, thin-faced, blond dude was -- a KGB officer based in the Mexico City Soviet embassy.

All of which makes me wonder:  Could Leonov's photos have been the ones Head of Station Winn Scott was writing about in a 11/23/63 letter to CIA's Head of Western Hemisphere, J.C. King when he said "they are of a certain person who is known to you", or words to that effect?  Could he have been referring to the October 2 photos of KGB officer Nikolai Leonov rather than one of the same-day photos of big, burly, balding "Mexico City Mystery Man"?

Why did "Blond Oswald" KGB officer Nikolai Leonov say years after the assassination, in his Russian-language memoirs and in a National Enquirer article, that the real Oswald (revolver packin' 'n cryin') showed up unannounced at the Soviet Embassy on Sunday, September 29, and met with him, "and the guard was the only other person in the building (because it was a Sunday)"

He was lying, of course, but to what end?

OR WAS HE?

IMHO, that's one of the sixty-four thousand dollar questions, folks.

That, and why Duran's description of the "Blond Oswald" she'd dealt with (or not dealt with) on 9/27/63 appeared to vary so much over the years,

and why the combined description of the guy who had (or not)  visited them on 9/27/63 so closely matched the description of KGB officer "Third Secretary" Nikolai Leonov?

Man, that's like $192,000 altogether if my "maths" is correct.

It seems that way, to me.

On the first page of that document about 3/4 of the way down there's an interesting notation:

"Angleton believes that Miboutou's assassination in Kenya was by the KGB."

Now, "Miboutou" (phonetic, I assume for "Mobutu") was from Zaire and he died of natural causes in Morocco (and I have no idea who in Kenya was assassinated by the KGB).

Angelton may have been suggesting he thought Lumumba of the Congo was assassinated by the KGB. We now highly suspect the CIA for that "executive action", no?

I think it throws the whole document into suspicion. Was this an error on the person taking notes or is JJA suffering from Alzhiemers? How much about Kostin/Kostikov was revealed in 1975? I think all those cables we have were released by the ARRB no?

Just raises questions for me.

Chris,

Sounds as though whoever wrote that simply confused Mobutu of Zaire with Tom Mboya of Kenya.

Angleton briefly talks about the assassination of Mboya starting at 2:07 in this video:

Sandy,

With all due respect, are you going into numerology and code breaking now?

The dude's historical name is Nikolai Leonov.

Last time I checked, he was a member of that highly democratic institution known as the Russian parliament or Duma.



You don't think he was KGB in 1963?
