Chuck, William Bishop was Clarence Ward Bishop. He used the name of William Bishop. He was "promoted" to Colonel by former Cuban Chief of the Army General Francisco Tabernilla. Tabernilla was a neighbor of Bishop's. Bishop had been a member of the Merchant Marines. Tabernilla was close to Batista and Irving Davidson. This doc should give you an idea on who Bishop was. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=46723#relPageId=4

IN THIS EPISODE~ A tour-de-force conversation with our great friend Greg that is absolutely bursting-at-the-seams with information and analytical conversation! In the first half: Spurred by a conversation with Alan Dale from our last episode, Greg has compiled a list of 15 things & ideas that- given what we now know, in 2024- are probably almost certainly true. From the involvement of Jack Ruby in the run-up to Dallas, to the certain assorted impersonations of Lee Oswald, to the undeniable coercion of witnesses by The Warren Commission, the culpability of Lyndon Johnson and the most probable locations for snipers in Dealey Plaza on that day, we will go down Greg's list one by one, analyze, and discuss. In the second half, we embark on a deep-dive of the individual that both Greg and Doug believe to have been the dark-complected man in Dealey Plaza- a south-Florida-based, JM/WAVE-connected anti-Castro paramilitary operator named Felipe Vidal Santiago. His presence in Dallas? Unexplained, yet confirmed. His connections to The Case? Many. Varied, striking, and chilling. And we are going to break it all down and explain it. Right HERE.

Ha! I'm also crap and reading bad cursive. Me, I see "Phillips".

Tom, I think it's just "P" just a sloppy end quote. Bill S has the Manell as Barbara Manell setting up the P-8593 file. https://www.maryferrell.org/php/cryptdb.php?id=LADILLINGER&search=manell

Jim, Here. It's from Charlotte Bustos as mentioned by Bill. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=229687#relPageId=32

Paul's number 28 escort. Here are some of their WC testimonies: Mr. Floyd Davis Floyd Davis intervened after a complaint from a client about Oswald shooting at his target: “Mr. DAVIS. There was a fellow with a black beard in that booth No. 7, at the same time. I remember him because he was outstanding, you know, and I went to these fellows in booth No. 8. and was giving them heck about shooting at the wrong target. And this other fellow, I remember him because he wouldn’t say anything to me. I tried to speak to him two or three different occasions, because he had a lot of guns, and I thought he would be a good customer. Mr. LIEBELER. The fellow with the beard? Mr. DAVIS. Yes. Mr. LIEBELER. He was how tall, approximately? Mr. DAVIS. He was over 6 feet and he weighed a good 250 pounds. A big bruiser. Mr. LIEBELER. I think we can assume that was not Lee Harvey Oswald. Mr. DAVIS. They were trying to find him. Charlie Brown was trying to find this person, and 2 weeks ago on a Sunday morning I saw him in an automobile out on Davis, I believe it was. Mr. LIEBELER. The big fellow with the beard? Mr. DAVIS. The big fellow there with the beard. And I got the license number on the car and the type of car it was and called it into the office. I haven’t heard anything from Mr. Brown since then, whether he got the information, but I am sure he did when I turned it into the office…” Davis even gave the plate-number of the car they drove off in to law enforcement! Virginia Davis who helped manage the shooting range describes the following peculiar character causing a ruckus: “Mr. LIEBELER. Was this man with the beard there at that time, do you know? Mrs. DAVIS. No; that was on a Sunday afternoon or a Saturday. It was a Saturday or a Sunday, and the reason I remember him, it was the same day they said Oswald was out there, and I tried to talk to him, which I talked to everyone that comes in, and he was noticeable because he looked like the Castro type. He had this big beard and he was heavy set and big broad shoulders, and well, he was just outstanding in his appearance. He had big red earmuffs on and I couldn’t help but notice him.” Garland Slack, Mr. Slack, who made the complaint, and his wife corroborate: “Mr. Slack furnished information to the effect that he had seen a man believed to be identical with Oswald at the Sports Drome Rifle Range on November 10, 1963, and believed that he was accompanied by another man described as tall, having a lot of dark hair, dark complexion, and a full beard.” “Mrs. SLACK advised she recalled seeing a great big man with a beard, who was wearing ear muffs, a red plaid shirt, and green pants. She stated he was shooting "big guns" and was shooting from stall No. 4 or 5. She stated she did not see anyone with this person and believed that he was alone at the rifle range .” Sticking with the theme that whoever was providing these escorts didn't have a big stable to draw from: Rene was Victor's brother and was involved with Carlos Hernandez and Victor in their first aborted mission to bomb Cuba. Rene and Carlos were stopped by Immigration in a truck. I don't have any pictures of him.

Tony Soto, Pedroso, Carlos Hernandez, Victor Espinosa, etc. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=136964#relPageId=9

A better candidate for the 5'4" muscular guy that was dark like an Indian would be Acelo Pedroso. Pedroso was also involved in the BOP and was 5'4" and was in New Orleans during the summer of 1963 along with his friends Victor Espinosa, Carlos Hernandez, and Miguel Alvarez at McLaney's. Pedroso became one of Rafael Quintero's "Commandos" for the AMWORLD project along with Carlos Hernandez before being assigned to the Congo. Pedroso in the Congo below.

Paul's number 11 escort: Other descriptions by Andrews of the escort: “During the summer of 1963, OSWALD came into the office of attorney Dean Andrews from three to five times (XI, 325 et seq). On each occasion he was accompanied by a Latin who was stocky, fairly short and who had an “athletic build” and a “thick neck”. Andrews describes him as having “flat” hair. In Andrews’ parlance, this man “could go to ‘Fist City’ pretty good if he had to”. This man spoke little and then only in Spanish.” “But anyway, to give you more of the picture, the description given by Dean Andrews of the Cuban who was always with Oswald. He was about 5 feet 4 inches which is very short, very muscular and strong and unusually dark like an Indian.” Harold Weisberg thought the 5'4" guy might have been Antonio "Tony" Soto. Soto was a pilot for the BOP Air Force and handled himself admirably. He was 5'4", muscular but not "dark like an Indian." Tony Soto below in the Congo. Soto briefly became a member of the AMWORLD project before going to the Congo by the end of November 1963.

Tom, Matt, Stu, Thanks for the research! Interestingly Paul Kangas used to be a member here.

Hi Robert, These may be different guys.

Extracted from Mario Enriguez's paper on Izquierdo. Néstor Antonio Izquierdo was born in the humble cast Pogolotti, in the city of Marianao, province of Havana. His parents, Camilo Izquierdo and Joséfina Díaz, instilled in the child his good teachings. The father was a master builder and from a very young age Tony worked with him. PHe soon learned to read construction plans and despite his young age, his father often left him in charge of some works. For some time he studied at the electromechanical school of the Colegio de Belén, where he was a member of Catholic youth. He was a close friend of Manuel Artime and with him he was part of the Comandos Rurales at the beginning of the Cuban revolution. Later, following Artime, he joined the Revolutionary Recovery Movement and fought the nascent dictatorship, from which he soon suffered persecution to the point of having to hide in the province of Oriente. He returned to Havana and from there he went into exile: Mexico first, then Miami. In 1960 he entered the Guatemalan camps where the Brigade was trained, whose goal was the liberation of Cuba, its great desire and the reason for their struggles. We are not going to make a detailed account of the activities of Tony Izquierdo. Suffice it to say that he was well known by all the groups that fought against communism, that almost everyone called him to lend his invaluable services, those who could always count on his collaboration. P To give a brief and clear picture of who was Néstor Antonio Izquierdo we will tell some anecdotes kept with love in the memory of those who were his companions. In these stories we will omit names to keep anonymity that we have been asked. Néstor Izquierdo's first mission was prior to the invasion of the Bay of Pigs. Together with several companions, he parachuted into the foothills of the Sierra Maestra, in the eastern province of Cuba. The group, once settled on land, managed to bring together a good number of peasants who were prepared to wait for the invasion. Upon learning of the failure of the effort, Izquierdo dispersed the group and crossed the Guantanamo base from where he returned to the United States. . During these events he met an American officer from the base of Caimanera, who was baptized with the nickname of Don Quixote (Hal Feeney). This friendship would last until the day of his death. During a commando mission to Cuba and while they were moving away from the coast once the operation was over, the absence of a man was noticed in the boat. In similar cases, the safety of the operation and of the men who have survived is more important than the life of one man. But Izquierdo broke the rule: he took the helm of the boat and returned to the ground where he began to shout for the straggler. . At last they caught up with him, they put him on board, and everyone was able to go to sea again, without any upset. Key, in the keys of Florida, we were waiting to leave in an operation to Cuba. . For us to go unnoticed, old Rip told us to try to look like tourists and to that end he gave Nestor some water skis to practice the sport by the Bay. After spending some time skiing, when returning to the beach, a companion tells him: "I congratulate you, Tony, you did not fall once." Izquierdo turned to his friend and calmly replied "I could not fall, I can not swim". Two Cubans had been detained in the city of Mexico accused of attacking an agent of Cuba's communist regime. You could not expect a fair trial. Left aware of the problem, he went to Mexico and rented a house next to the prison where the two Cubans were. D He immediately began digging a tunnel to propitiate the escape, but he had discovered and had to flee to Miami. Later he returns to Mexico but they have already separated the two Cubans detained. Izquierdo enters the prison where one of them was, disguised as a policeman, and takes the prisoner out. In the street they separate and later Izquierdo is arrested when he tried to cross the border with the United States posing as Puerto Rican. When Izquierdo was arrested, all his friends mobilized. One of them communicated with the American officer friend. Don Quixote (Feeney), who moved to where Nestor was and made the necessary arrangements and lent the corresponding bail to achieve their freedom, putting their own house as a guarantee.

I'd love to see these photos enhanced. Just some comments. I find it interesting that the CIA buried Izquierdo in Nicaragua for a few years. Here is one of their top commandos, highly trained, experienced, paratrooper left guarding what was left of Artime's weapons cache after AMWORLD shutdown. It's also a bit unusual for two middle-aged white guys, in suits, to be walking with a person of color in 1963 unless they knew each other. The earlier photos show just the two middle-aged guys together. It would be interesting to see just when and where the "Izquierdo" guy joined up with them.
