George De Mohrenschildt, the son of a wealthy noble, was born in Russia on 17th April, 1911. After the Russian Revolution his father, Sergius Alexander von Mohrenschildt, was imprisoned by the Bolsheviks. In 1921 he was sent to Siberia but managed to escape with his family to Poland. His wife died soon afterwards from typhoid fever.

While a young man De Mohrenschildt left Poland and after travelling around Europe. He later claimed that he was involved in a pro-Nazi plot to kill Joseph Stalin. De Mohrenschildt reached the United States in 1938. The British intelligence services warned the American government that they suspected that De Monrenschildt was working for German intelligence.

De Mohrenschildt went to work for the Shumaker company in New York. He worked under Pierre Fraiss who was connected with French intelligence. De Mohrenschildt agreed to collect information on people involved in "pro-German activity". In 1939 he went to work for Humble Oil, a company founded by Prescott Bush.

In 1941 De Mohrenschildt went to work for his cousin, Baron Maydell, and his company, Film Facts, in New York. Maydell was also known to have pro-Nazi sympathies. During this period he made a documentary about the resistance movement in Poland. He also failed in his attempt to join the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).

After the Second World War De Mohrenschildt settled in Dallas where he worked for the oil millionaire, Clint Murchison. During this period he got to know Jackie Kennedy.

Ruth continued to live in Irving and at a party in February, 1963 she was introduced to Marina Oswald and Lee Harvey Oswald by George De Mohrenschildt. On 24th April, 1963, Marina and her daughter went to live with Ruth Paine. Lee Harvey Oswald rented a room in Dallas but stored some of his possessions in Ruth Paine’s garage. Ruth also helped Oswald to get a job at the Texas Book Depository.

In October, 1962 De Mohrenschildt became friends with Lee Harvey Oswald in Fort Worth. He suggested that Oswald should move to Dallas. In February, 1963 he introduced Marina Oswald and Lee Harvey Oswald to Ruth Paine. On 24th April, 1963, Marina and her daughter went to live with Paine. Oswald rented a room in Dallas but stored some of his possessions in Ruth Paine’s garage. Ruth also helped Oswald to get a job at the Texas Book Depository.

In 1963 De Mohrenschildt moved to Haiti. After the assassination of John F. Kennedy De Mohrenschildt was recalled to America to testify before the Warren Commission. He was asked about the claim of Marina Oswald that he knew about Oswald's attempt to kill General Edwin Walker. After giving evidence he returned to Haiti.

De Mohrenschildt returned to the United States in 1977. He approached Edward Jay Epstein complaining that he was short of money. Epstein offered him $4,000 for an interview. During their talks De Mohrenschildt admitted that in 1962 he had been contacted by J. Walton Moore, who was employed by the Central Intelligence Agency in Dallas. De Mohrenschildt was asked by Moore to find out about Oswald's time in the Soviet Union. In return he was given help with an oil deal he was negotiating with Papa Doc Duvalier, the Haitian dictator. In March 1963, De Mohrenschildt got the contract from the Haitian government. He had assumed that this was because of the help he had given to the CIA.

On 29th March, 1977, Epstein and De Mohrenschildt, broke for lunch and decided to meet again at 3 p.m. George De Mohrenschildt returned to his room where he found a card from Gaeton Fonzi, an investigator working for the Select House Committee on Assassinations. George De Mohrenschildt's body was found later that day. He had apparently committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth.

John, that is the firt time that I have read the dates of the CIA-Oswald- Mohrenschildt association. (causing another one of those darned coincidences). People have always wondered why someone of Mohrenschildt's background would be socializing with LHO. Upon hearing of the assassination, he was quoting as saying something to the effect of "I certainly hope Lee is not the one" IMO, Oswald would have told Mohrenschildt his feelings about JFK, and probably, in an effort to impress, some information beyond the Walker shooting. (If we are to believe Marina) I'm wondering that when he agreed to the enterview with Epstein in 1972, if he were actually planning to tell more than some people would have wanted to be known. (He was certainly in a bad financial situation, something he was not accustomed to). Do you know if he had been paid for the enterview before his untimely demise.
Terry

Terry Adams asked: Do you know if he had been paid for the interview before his untimely demise.?

According to Bruce Campbell Adamson:

The current contract called for him (De M) to receive up to $4000 to cooperate with Epstein's book about Oswald. An initial payment had been made. At the end of the third day of the interviews, which would have been the next day, de Mohrenschildt would receive another $1000. Another $1000 would be paid if a following session was necessary. Epstein reported de Mohrenschildt did not appear suicidal or mentally disturbed during the morning interview session. 'He seemed more despondent when I saw him last April than he did now,' Epstein told the authorities.

(From Oswald's Closest Friend: The George de Mohrenschildt Story)

Pete Brewton, The Mafia, CIA and George Bush (1992)

Clemard Joseph Charles was recruited by the CIA in 1963, the same year the agency was sponsoring and paying exile and rebel groups to try to overthrow Papa Doc. We know Charles was recruited by the CIA then because of the findings in the late 1970s of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.

The committee was investigating the assassination of John F. Kennedy and tracking a man named George DeMohrenschildt, a White Russian count with extensive ties to the CIA. DeMohrenschildt had moved to Texas, worked in the oil business and befriended Lee Harvey Oswald. In fact, there is some evidence that DeMohrenschildt was used by the CIA to keep an eye on Oswald. DeMohrenschildt had met Charles in Haiti, where he had business interests, including a share in the government sisal hemp operation. DeMohrenschildt was also keeping an eye on Clint Murchison's meat-packing business and cattle ranches there. At one time he had worked for Three States Oil and Gas, one of Murchison's oil companies.

DeMohrenschildt was also on close, friendly terms with Houston oilman John Mecom, Sr., according to a Houston private eye familiar with the Russian count. And the count and George Bush apparently knew each other. Bush's name and his Midland, Texas, address were in DeMohrenschildt's address book.

One CIA contract agent, Herbert Atkin, has reported that DeMohrenschildt's real job in Haiti in 1963 was to supervise a CIA-sponsored plan to overthrow Duvalier.

In May 1963, DeMohrenschildt arranged a meeting between Clemard Charles and Dorothy Matlack, who was Assistant Director of the Army Office of Intelligence, the U.S. Army's liaison with the CIA. According to DeMohrenschildt's CIA files, which the assassination committee obtained, the purpose of the meeting with Matlack was to arrange a rendezvous between Charles and a CIA representative. DeMohrenschildt attended the meeting with the CIA, to Matlack's surprise. "She did not know what role DeMohrenschildt was serving, but felt he 'dominated' Charles in some way," reads the committee's CIA memo, which then reported that Matlack stated, "I knew the Texan [DeMohrenschildt] wasn't there to sell hemp."

Finally, the kicker in the CIA memo: "Because of the potential political information Charles could give about the current situation in Haiti, the CIA became the primary contact with Charles."

That puts Charles's ability to obtain two aircraft from the United States in 1964 during an embargo and his subsequent 1967 jailing by Duvalier in a whole new light. For it was in 1967 that Mitch WerBell, along with some Haitians and Cuban exiles, were caught planning an invasion of Haiti from Florida.

WerBell was a veteran of the OSS office in China during World War II along with E. Howard Hunt, Paul Helliwell and John Singlaub. He told author Jonathan Kwitny that he did not work "for" the CIA, but "with" the CIA. He said the distinction was that he got paid by private groups and not by the CIA.

Once again, McAdams to the rescue.

For it was in 1967 that Mitch WerBell, along with some Haitians and Cuban exiles, were caught planning an invasion of Haiti from Florida. (John Simkin quoting Pete Brewton)

I can not recall the details off-hand, but wasn't Clemard Joseph Charles also associated with Frank Sturgis; both men being associated with a company called the 'Pacific Peace Organization' or something similar?

James

As I recall, de Mohrenschildt was asked by Dallas CIA agent J. Walton Moore to keep tabs on Oswald. In his WC testimony de Mohrenschildt pretended not to know if Moore was CIA or FBI, and claimed that he and Moore just talked some about the Oswalds.

Lee Oswald was about the right age to be De Mohrenschildt's son, and the two men shared a common background, in that Lee had just returned from Minsk, a city De Mohrenschildt had known in childhood. I do not understand why anyone would see anything peculiar about their friendship.

From De Mohrenschildt's manuscript: "One could detect immediately a very sincere and forward man. Although he was average-looking, with no outstanding features and of medium size, he showed in his conversation all the elements of concentration, thought and toughness. This man had the courage of his convictions and did not hesitate to discuss them. I was glad to meet such a person and was carried away back to the days of my youth in Europe, where as students, we discussed world affairs and our own ideas over many beers and without caring about time."

Someone will please correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that the two men were already acquainted when J. Walton Moore asked DeM about Lee. If so, than the meeting between DeM & Lee was not instigated by the CIA.

Since DeM had moved to Haiti many months before the assassination, I do not see how he could have been involved, but I am open to persuasion.

DeM's life had been going downhill for a quite some time before his death, by all accounts, so suicide is not that unlikely IMO, absent further evidence.

Ol' George was up to the top of his head in CIA type intrigue all his life...as we can see in Haiti also...a place the US has treated like a toy to do as it wanted with up to today [and felt Cuba should be the same...if not all countries]. Prouty everytime I met him, in his special style, always repeated Matlack over and over....his way of hinting she was much more important that had been realized. The topic was Dallas. Does anyone have more on Matlack and any possible connection of her to Dallas?

Some months back I listened to the tape of DeMohrenschildt reading from the manuscript, and a couple of things popped out at me. He referred repeatedly to Harvey Lee Oswald. Second, he commented repeatedly on what excellent Russian Oswald spoke.

Perhaps you are recalling a footnote in Gaeton Fonzi's book, The Last Investigation (p. 313):

"Quite recently, into this intertwining connection of characters came someone whom I had not previously associated with de Mohrenschildt or anyone directly linked to Oswald. He was discovered by one of the most diligent of private researchers, Peggy Adler Robohm, who in checking Clemard Charles' numerous corporate fronts, discovered the St. Charles Pacific Peace Organization, incorporated in 1988 as a non-profit entity with the power to raise money to do all kinds of profit making activities -- as long as it included "elevating the standards of health" -- without having to pay taxes. The Treasurer of the Corporation was listed as Frank Sturgis."



Peter Fokes

Thank you, Peter.

I haven't read Fonzi's book but maybe it was quoted on the Net somewhere. At least I know I'm not going totally balmy.

Cheers,

James, have you got a photo of George Djamgaroff? (see "the last hero-Wild Bill Donovan" Brown p 178) "in September 1941 an incredible person, George Djamgaroff, of New York, applied for a post as a secret intelligence officer....

and later p181 (now april 1942): "...his application was rejected. What became of him is not known."

John,

Sorry, no photo but I can tell you that Djamgaroff was a former Czarist officer. During the congressional committee's investigation of Communist activities in the United States, Djamgaroff identified Feodore Ziavkin, general manager of the Amtog as a former member of the Ogpu, the secret political police of Red Russia. Djamgaroff claimed he was an officer in the White Army on special mission when he was arrested and questioned by Ziavkin.

Djamgaroff was also secretary of the Monday Opera Club. It has also been claimed that he was the one who forged the infamous Whalen Documents.

FWIW.

James

In an audiotaped interview, I think it was for his to be published book, deM referred to Oswald as being like his son or "one of his soldiers".
I am not aware of any military duty deM was involved in, but I may be wrong.

Slip of tongue or did he want to tell something ?

You haven't James?! I am surprised - only because I thought you would have really and there is a load of stuff on the cubans in there. One of the best books written imo on the case. I finished it in a few days whilst on holiday one time as I could not put it down once I started it. I think the other english/americans on the beach thought it a rather odd choice for holiday reading judging from the strange looks I got but still......
Good is the interview in there with Werbell. I always thought he was brave to meet him in person, sounds like a rather scary figure!

Mitch was one of many many scary people in this whole affair-unlike many of the "supsects" always felt he was a real one

Have any CIA documents been released that shed any light on J. Walton Moore and the information DeM provided him?

So ol' George was doing an "oil deal" with Papa Doc?

He spent 14 years in Haiti on this "oil deal"?

Just one little problem with this scenario -- if there's oil
in Haiti no one has ever bothered to drill for it.

How does one spend 14 years on an "oil deal" that never
drilled for oil?

From THE GREAT HEROIN COUP, by Henrik Kruger, pg 89:

(quote on)

[By 1970] [t]here were five main heroin export routes to the U.S.A.,
two by air and three by sea. The shipping lanes emanated from
Barcelona, Lisbon, and Antwerp and either ended in Brazil/Paraguay,
Haiti and the French West Indies, or went directly to the east coast
of the United States. Heroin smuggled into the U.S. from the French Antilles
and Haiti, like that from Paraguay, went via Florida or Mexico...

Heroin leaving Haiti, the Antilles, Nassau, and the Paraguay-based
Ricord Mob wound up in Florida, where Santo Trafficante, Jr. and the
Cuban Mafia controlled the drug business in an axis that became the
U.S.A.'s most powerful narcotics organization.

(quote off)

The real importance of Cuba.

The GREAT HEROIN COUP, Kruger, pg 89:

(quote on)

The tight control over the U.S. heroin market by the Cotronis of Montreal and Trafficante
of Tampa was a legacy of Meyer Lanksy and Lucky Luciano's reorganization of the U.S.
heroin market. Lanksy built himself a fantastic empire headquartered in Havana, and
literally governed Cuba over the head of dictator Fulgencio Batista. Lansky became the
world's uncrowned narcotics king. His decisions affected everyone, including the bigwigs
in France and Italy. He invested in the Marseilles labs and had the Corsicans reorganize
themselves more efficiently. When Castro drove him from Cuba, Lansky created a similar
gambling paradise in Nassau.

(quote off)

Alfred W. McCoy, THE POLITICS OF HEROIN, pp 40-41:

(quote on)

[Mafia capo di tutti capi Lucky] Luciano's 1947 visit to Cuba laid the
groundwork for Havana's subsequent role in international narcotics
smuggling traffic. Arriving in January, Luciano summoned the leaders
of American organized crime, including Meyer Lansky, to Havana for a
meeting and began paying extravagant bribes to prominent Cuban
officials as well..."Cuba was to be made the center of all international
narcotics operations." Harry J. Anslinger, director of the Federal
Bureau of Narcotics...

...By the early 1950s...[Santo Trafficante Jr.]'s official position in Havana
was that of manager of the Sans Souci Casino, but he was far more
important than his title indicates. As his father's financial representative,
and ultimately Meyer Lansky's, Santo controlled much of Havana's
tourist industry and became quite close to the pre-Castro dictator
Fulgencio Batista. Moreover, it was reportedly his responsibility to
receive the bulk shipments of heroin from Europe and forward them
through Florida to New York and other major urban centers where their
distribution was assisted by local Mafia leaders.

(quote off)

So with all that heroin being funneled from Europe thru Cuba
into Florida, who do we find camped out in the Florida Straits
in 1957 and 1958?

Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency, with his
Zapata Off-Shore oil exploration company, an off-shoot of
Zapata Petroleum, the oil company Bush co-owned with the
Liedtke brothers until 1959.

From GEORGE BUSH: THE UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY,
by Webster Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin

http://www.tarpley.net/bush8.htm

(quote on)

The first asset of Zapata Offshore was the SCORPION, a $ 3.5 million deep-sea
drilling rig that was financed by $1.5 million from the initial stock sale plus
another $2 million from bonds marketed with the help of Uncle Herbie [Walker].
The SCORPION was the first three-legged self-elevating mobile drilling barge...
The SCORPION was delivered early in 1956, and was commissioned at Galveston
in March, 1956, and was put to work at exploratory drilling in the Gulf of Mexico
during the rest of the year.

...As for the SCORPION, during part of 1957 it was under contract to the
Bahama-California Oil Company, drilling between Florida and Cuba. It was then
leased by Gulf Oil and Standard Oil of California, on whose behalf it started drilling
during 1958 at a position on the Cay Sal Bank, 131 miles south of Miami, Florida,
and just 54 miles north of Isabela, Cuba. Cuba was an interesting place just then;
the US-backed insurgency of Fidel Castro was rapidly undermining the older
US-imposed regime of Fulgencio Batista. That meant that SCORPION was located
at a hot corner.

(quote off)

Odd thing about Zapata Offshore -- it never made any money.

Tarpley and Chaitkin describe the odd dynamic between Bush
and the "New York guys" (Harriman/Walker/Bush) and the Liedtkes
of Oklahoma.

(quote on)

During 1957 a certain divergence began to appear between Uncle Herbie Walker,
Bush, and the "New York guys" on the one hand, and the Liedtke brothers and their
Tulsa backers on the other. As the annual report for that year noted, "There is no
doubt that the drilling business in the Gulf of Mexico has become far more competitive
in the last six months than it has been at any time in the past." Despite that, Bush,
Walker and the New York investors wanted to push forward into the offshore drilling
and drilling services business, while the Liedtkes and the Tulsa group wanted to
concentrate on acquiring oil in the ground and natural gas deposits.

The 1958 annual report notes that with no major discoveries made, 1958 had been
"a difficult year." It was, of course, the year of the brutal Eisenhower recession.
SCOPRPION, VINEGAROON, and NOLA I, the offshore company's three drilling rigs,
could not be kept fully occupied in the Gulf of Mexico during the whole year, and so
Zapata Offshore had lost $524,441, more than Zapata Petroleum's own loss of
$427,752 for that year. The Liedtke viewpoint was reflected in the notation that
"disposing of the offshore business had been considered." The great tycoon Bush
conceded in the Zapata Offshore annual report for 1958: "We erroneously predicted
that most major [oil] companies would have active drilling programs for 1958. These
drilling programs simply did not materialize..."

(quote off)

So the Oklahoma boys kept the oil production side of the business and
the New York guys kept the never profitable Zapata Off-shore.

Did Zapata Off-shore's "drilling services business" include sending maintenance
boats out to the drilling platforms and back to the mainland without customs
checks of any kind?

It was an ideal set-up for anyone inclined to run smuggling operations.

The Liedtke's went on to great success with Zapata Petroleum; George Bush
got out of Zapata Off-shore in 1966 to devote full-time to Texas politics.

Why would shrewd businessmen like Bunny Harriman and George Herbert
Walker pour money into an unprofitable business, Zapata Offshore, and favor
that business over one that had so much more potential, Zapata Petroleum?

George Bush got in bed with the CIA from the git-go, co-founding (with
the Liedtke brothers) Zapata Petroleum along with a CIA operative named
Thomas J. Devine.

http://realnews.org/rn/content/zapata.html

Devine officially worked on a CIA operation called WUBRINY.

From the 11/29/75 CIA memo:

(quote on)

“Mr George Bush [the CIA director-designate] has prior knowledge of the now
terminated project WUBRINY/LPDICTUM which was involved in proprietary
commercial operations in Europe.”

(quote off)

An Agency man code-named WUBRINY/1 relates in these memos meeting
a George DeMohrenschildt and a Clemard Joseph Charles in April of 1963.

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...c.do?docId=8627

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/....do?docId=32361

It appears that WUBRINY was involved in commercial operations in
both Europe and Haiti.

Cliff,

The idea was to build an oil refinery in Haiti. In 1964, Mohammed Fayed visited Haiti and handed out a business card

"that associated him with a Kuwait oil company. ... Fayed recieved exclusive contracts which gave him control of the oil industry, shipping and the port. He agreed to invest $1 million within two years in an oil refinery and $5 million within four years on a variety of harbor-improvement programs. In addition to his oil concession he was named sole shipping agent for 12 steamship companies serving Haiti. Besides these agent fees he collected wharfage fees that previously went to the government, and he quickly increased these fees. Among his other accomplishments, he became a Haitian citizen in a matter of months although normally a ten-year residency is required. To improve the harbor, Fayed set out buoy markers, hired a British harbor master, and put lights on the pier.
He ran into opposition from the West India Trans-Atlantic Conference and the United States-Gulf-Haitian conference of shippers, who protested to Duvalier. At a meeting of the conference Fayed did not show up and Duvalier said he was searching world capitals for Fayed and acknowledged that a large sum of money had left Haiti with him. Fayed's bank accounts were frozen too late. The local manager of a bank where he did business was ousted from the country on the excuse that he had expressed antigovernment views.
The arrival of Fayed and other foreign investors in Haiti prompted Richard Elder of The New York Times to write:
'Both business and dilomatic circles have been paying close attention to the arrival over the past year of a series of visitors who let it be known that they plan to invest large amounts of money here. These visitors have in common a lack of much conventionally traceable business background and close connections with one [Haitian] overnment official or another.'

Fayed's connection was Clemard Charles, Duvalier's banker. Charles received a government concession on automobile insurance and Fayed assisted him with it..... Fayed's oil concession went to him only after an American company, the Valentine Petroleum and Chemical Corporation, had its representative expelled from the country and its contract to build a refinery canceled. Valentine had an investment guarantee from the U.S. Agency for International Development, and tried to sue the United States to collect $817,000 in damages. (The president of the company said that the United States offered him a settlement 'so small it's ridiculous.' "


From Papa Doc: Haiti and Its Dictator. Bernard Diederich and Al Bart, The Bodley Head, 1969, pp. 383-385


Peter Fokes

Peter, I'm not sure if DeMohrenschildt was part of that deal.

According to Edward Jay Epstein it was an "oil exploration deal" that DeM
arranged with Duvalier.

A point of correction: DeM spent not 14 years in Haiti working on this
non-existent "oil exploration," but 10+.

http://www.edwardjayepstein.com/diary/dem.htm

(quote on)

In late 1961— De Mohrenschildt could not pinpoint the date— he said had a lunchtime
meeting in downtown Dallas with one of these connections; J. Walter Moore. Moore
steered their conversation to the city of Minsk, where, as Moore seemed to know even
before he told him, De Mohrenschildt had spent his childhood. Moore worked for the CIA's
domestic contact service in Dallas. He told De Mohrenschildt about an ex-American Marine
who had worked in an electronics factory in Minsk for the past year, Lee Harvey Oswald,
who was returning to the Dallas area. Although no specific requests were made by Moore,
De Mohrenschildt gathered that Moore would be appreciative to learn more about Oswald's
activities in Minsk.At this time, he was extremely busy trying to arrange for Papa Doc
Duvalier, the Haitian dictator, to approve his oil exploration deal in that country. Some
help from the U.S. Embassy in Haiti would be greatly appreciated by him, he suggested
to Moore. Although he recognized that there was no quid pro quo, he hoped that he might
receive the same sort of tacit assistance that he had previously received in Yugoslavia.
"I would never have contacted Oswald in a million years, if Moore had not sanctioned it,"
he explained to me. "Too much was at stake."

(quote off)

DeM and Charles also acquired a stake in a sisal plantation, but according to
Gaeton Fonzi this was "a derelict operation they never went near." (THE LAST
INVESTIGATION, pg 313 fn)

So the question remains -- why did George DeMohrenschildt spend 10+ years
in Haiti when there was no oil to show for this "oil exploration deal"?






So in '63 and '64 a series of visitors arrived in Haiti with plans to invest large
sums of money in that country.

These visitors lacked a "conventionally traceable business background,"
but they all had close connections to Haitian government officials.

And by the end of the decade Haiti would be one of the main conduits
for heroin smuggling into the U.S.

Co-incidence?

No one has published more research on George de Mohrenschildt than Bruce Campbell Adamson. Currently he offers eleven books on de Mohrenschildt and his connections:

http://www.ciajfk.com/demohrenschildt.html

On Adamson's site I found references to Filmmaker Michael Moore, and references to filmstar Roger Moore, but no reference to CIA man J. Walton Moore, who was DeMohrenschildts primary government contact during the time of DeM's contact with Lee Oswald.

At $23 a pop, Is this guy Adamson operating a racket aimed at fleecing gullible people?

Thank you, Michael.

From the website...

(quote on)

Adamson asserts that de Mohrenschildt, prior to his death, told a close
friend that a number of oilmen, FBI and CIA agents were behind the
JFK assassination.


(quote off)

One of those oilmen appears to have been the 41st President of these
United States.

George Herbert Walker Bush pops up all over -- maybe even standing in
front of the TSBD on Eleven Twenty Two.

Poppy.

Every detail of the plot Poppy worked on or otherwise knew about was
reported back to W. Averell Harriman, or so I'd speculate.

I'll argue that the "New York guys," Harriman-Rockefeller-Morgan,
approved of the JFK assassination as a contingency plan.

They all wanted Cuba back -- badly.

Allen Dulles would have been the other Yankee "eyes-'n-ears" on the
assassination-planning team.

But in May of '63 Harriman opened back channel discussions with Castro;
McGeorge Bundy took point.

http://www.cuban-exile.com/doc_026-050/doc0027-2.html

If the JFK assassination had been successful -- the patsy pinned on Castro
and thus precipitating a US invasion in "retaliation" -- then the New York boys
and the Texas boys would all have profited from the return of a smuggler-friendly
Cuban gov't, as they had with Batista.

I'll argue that Harriman was looking to cut a deal with Castro that would
effectively cut the "Texas boys" out of the loop as far as ramping up the
Cuba-to-Florida smuggling funnel.

Harriman did his best to warn Kennedy to stay out of Dallas, I'd speculate.

As quoted in Larry Hancock's SOMEONED WOULD HAVE TALKED,
Marty Underwood, Democratic National Committee Political Advance Man:

(quote on)

We were getting all sorts of rumors that the President was going to be
assassinated in Dallas; there were no if's, and's, or but's about it.

(quote off)

I'll argue going forward that Harriman was the source of these leaks, that
Harriman had no need to change the status quo in Washington since he was
the dominant force in American foreign policy, not JFK.

After all, Harriman ordered the overthrow of Diem over Bobby's objections.

Harriman had his own State Dept. foreign policy shop and Kennedy was
dancing to his tune.

Iow, around the Harriman house NSAM 263 was used as toilet paper.

Even had he lived, JFK would have faced a Gulf of Tonkin Incident right
before the kick-off of the '64 Prez campaign, and the US military would
have been drawn into SE Asia as per Harriman's orders -- or so I'd have
to speculate.

For a bead on Harriman I strongly recommend Debra Conway's work
"Versions of Truth":

http://www.jfklancer.com/dallas05/ppt/conw...ersions.ppt.htm

Raymond, and JG,

McAdams is a sham, and his site should not be seriously quoted. While his version of DeMornschildt's manuscript might be easier to read and scan, it's incomplete and leaves out the best and most significant parts (ie. LHO meeting Adml. Bruton), though I find his "cop d'etat" quite ironic.

While it might take longer to read and turn the pages, Bradford's Mary Ferrel Site has the complete manuscript posted as well as the rest of the relevant reports under the HSCA docs, Vol. XII, p. 69 +

DeMornschildt: “As I mentioned before, Lee did not like Marine Corps and considered it racist and segregationist."Do you know that President Truman wanted to abolish this Marine Corps and I would agree with him on that. "Lee did not like any militarists, Russian or American, he thought that some day there could be a "cop d'etat" in this country organized by the Pentagon and that the country would become a militaristic, nazi-type, dictatorship”


Another aspect of DeMorn's life that is under researched is his early work for Bill Buckley's family oil firm, and his establishment of the Cystic Fibrosis Society of Dallas, with its unstated Philly Quaker connections.

Of course McAdams the clown, wouldn't tell you or know anything about that.

The ironies compound themselves.

BK

Adamson's website devotes one page specifically to George de Mohrenschildt. There are no references there to Michael or Roger Moore.

From page 33 of Oswald's Closest Friend: The George De Mohrenschildt Story:

(Billy Joe) Lord's feelings were justified for his apartment had been broken into and because Epstein was able to secure interviews with Deputy Director James Jesus Angleton and James Walton Moore who were both CIA agents. When it is common knowledge that the CIA does not give interviews to hostile writers.

George Bush gave a statement to the CIA on April 5, 1977 on de Mohrenschildt's suicide in paragraphs 6 & 7 and in paragraph 8 there was (sic) comments on an interview with former CIA agent James Walton Moore's meetings with the writers of Reader's Digest. This document appears later on in the Bush chapter.

J. Walton Moore was the handball partner of Colonel L. Orlov, who was with de Mohrenschildt at the time they met Lee Harvey Oswald for the first time....

From Fletcher Prouty:

"I was the Chief of Special Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. As an active duty U.S. Marine on duty with a CIA operation, Lee Harvey Oswald was a member of a global military support project I managed. I had been in the Pentagon for nine years at that time in charge of this military support activity, and knew countless officials in the highest echelons of the Government---many of them CIA officials from Allen Dulles on down.

Since those years I have met a number of researchers and authors who have dedicated themselves to this Crime of the Century. Among these hundreds of writers few, if any, have given more of their time, and of their experience to the valuable research of the life and times of George de Mohrenschildt, the man who was one of Lee Harvey Oswald's closest friends in Dallas before the assassination.

This story, in full scope, has never been told adequately. Bruce Campbell Adamson has done that with his new and most valuable book, "Oswald's Closest Friend: The George De Mohrenschildt Story."

Evidently, Prouty did not regard Adamson's research as a racket, fleecing gullible people. And anyone that has followed this case over the last four decades knows that self-publishing books on the Kennedy murder is not exactly a pathway to easy money.

Why does it so often hold true that the most vociferous critics of an author are not even familiar with their work?

From what I have seen, only a complete sucker would shell out good money for Adamson's bullshit. If the shoe fits Michael Hogan, that's his problem.

True to form. Uniformed, wrong and nasty.

just like Garrison's disaster, it possible to find a seed of truth among the manure. Thumper's Mother said it best, "If you can't saything nice, don't say anything at all".

why there is such rancor is beyond me and I was a Detroit Cop for 20yrs!

Thank you very much for pointing out the discrepancy between McAdams version and the HSCA true version.

I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED to hear that Professor McAdams is corrupting the youth with misinformation.

There is some good information on George de Mohrenschildt in Russ Baker's book, Family Secrets. He points out that on 11th May, 1978, Jeanne de Mohrenschildt gave an interview to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where she said that she did not accept that her husband had committed suicide. She also said that she believed Lee Harvey Oswald was an agent of the United States, possibly of the CIA, and that she was convinced he did not kill John F. Kennedy. She then went onto say: "They may get me too, but I'm not afraid... It's about time somebody looked into this thing."

In response to this thread:

• First, Adamson is a great researcher, but not a great writer. He has numerous volumes of self-published manuscripts for sale, which I purchased 8 or 9 years ago, that are loaded with information--much of it overlapping and poorly edited. But it was thorough, boldly acquired by him from interviews, requests for documents and all sorts of research that necessitated travel and other expenses most of us don't have the time or inclination to pursue. The caveat is: Don't expect flowing prose from Adamson; just the facts, ma'am. It was ground-breaking work that many have relied upon, whether they give him credit or not. (It's sort of like the LaRouche research in that sense.)

• Second, Russ Baker brings out many, many details about George and Jeanne DeMohrenschildt too numerous to go into here.

1. One is the fact that George DeM.'s brother Dimitry was married to the mother of George Bush's roommate, Edward Hooker--who became George DeM's partner in oil business in Colorado (Adamson originally dug up this information in his research).

2. Edward Hooker introduced George DeM to his wife, Lynn Sharples, who was very connected to Philadelphia social set and to the Sharples oil family.

3. Edward Hooker died young after financing George DeM in Colorado oil ventures; years later when his daughter married, Hooker's widow got George H.W. Bush to give their daughter away at the wedding to Ames Braga, son of one of the wealthiest sugar families living in New York--Rionda Braga company based in Cuba.

Dr. De De Lynn Sharples is currently a Truste of Temple University, where Joan Mellen teaches, though she lives in Florida.

Has anybody tried to interview her?

Is she mentioned in Baker's book? (Must get it)

An interesting passage from Dick Russell's article published in New Times Magazine (24th June, 1977):

Like Fitzgerald's Gatsby, Baron George Sergei de Mohrenschildt was borne back ceaselessly into the past. In June 1976, a sultry day in Dallas, he had stood gazing out the picture window of his second-story apartment, talking casually about a young man who used to curl up on the couch with the Baron's Great Danes.

"No matter what they say, Lee Harvey Oswald was a delightful guy," de Mohrenschildt was saying. "They make a moron out of him, but he was smart as hell. Ahead of his time really, a kind of hippie of those days. In fact, he was the most honest man I knew. And I will tell you this - I am sure he did not shoot the president."

Nine months later, on March 29, one hour after an investigator for the House Assassinations Committee left a calling-card with his daughter, the Baron apparently put a shotgun to his head in Palm Beach, Florida. In his absence came forward a Dutch journalist and longtime acquaintance, Willem Oltmans, with the sensational allegation that de Mohrenschildt had admitted serving as a middleman between Oswald and H. L. Hunt in an assassination plot involving other Texas oilmen, anti-Castro Cubans, and elements of the FBI and CIA.

But how credible was de Mohrenschildt? As an old friend in Dallas' Russian community, George Bouhe, once put it: "He's better equipped than anybody to talk. But we have an old Russian proverb that will always apply to George de Mohrenschildt: "The soul of the other person is in the darkness."'

Intrigue and oil were the two constants in the Baron's life. He was an emigrant son of the Czarist nobility who spoke five languages fluently and who, during the Second World War, was rumored to have spied for the French, Germans, Soviets and Latin Americans (the CIAs predecessor, the OSS, turned down his application). After the war, he went on to perform geological surveys for major U.S. oil companies all over South America, Europe and parts of Africa. He became acquainted with certain of Texas' more influential citizens - oilman John Mecom, construction magnates George and Herman Brown. In Mexico, he gained audience in 1960 with Soviet First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan. In 1961 he was present in Guatemala City - by his account, on a "walking tour" - when the Bay of Pigs troops set out for Cuba.

Finally, when Lee and Marina Oswald returned to Texas from the Soviet Union in June 1962, the Baron soon became their closest friend. Why? Why would a member of the exclusive Dallas Petroleum Club take under his wing a Trotsky-talking sheet-metal worker some 30 years his junior?

The Warren Commission took 118 pages of his testimony to satisfy itself of de Mohrenschildt's benign intent, but among critics the question persisted: Was the Baron really "baby-sitting" Oswald for the CIA? While de Mohrenschildt told the commission he'd never served as any government's agent "in any respect whatsoever," a CIA file for the commission, declassified in 1976, admits having used him as a source. In the course of several meetings with a man from its Dallas office upon de Mohrenschildt's return from Yugoslavia late in 1957, "the CIA representative obtained foreign intelligence which was promptly disseminated to other federal agencies in ten separate reports."The Dallas official, according to the file, maintained "informal occasional contact" with the Baron until the fall of 1961.

The Warren Commission volumes, however, contain only passing reference in de Mohrenschildt's testimony to a government man named "G. Walter Moore." His true name was J. Walton Moore, and he had served the CIA in Dallas since its inception in 1947.

In two brief, cryptic interviews with me in the 18 months before his death, de Mohrenschildt claimed he would not have struck up his relationship with Oswald "if Jim Moore hadn't told me Oswald was safe." The Baron wouldn't elaborate on that statement, except to hint that it constituted some kind of clearance.

J. Walton Moore is now a tall, white-haired man in his middle sixties, who continues to operate out of Dallas' small CIA office. Questioned at his home one summer evening in 1976 about de Mohrenschildt's remarks, he conceded knowing the Baron as a "pleasant sort of fellow" who provided "some decent information" after a trip to Yugoslavia. "To the best of my recollection, I hadn't seen de Mohrenschildt for a couple of years before the assassination," Moore added. "I don't know where George got the idea that I cleared Oswald for him. I never met Oswald. I never heard his name before the assassination."

For sure, the CIA did maintain an interest in de Mohrenschildt at least through April 1963. That month, Oswald left Texas for New Orleans and de Mohrenschildt prepared to depart for a lucrative geological survey contract in Haiti. On April 29, according to a CIA Office of Security file, also declassified in 1976, "[Deleted] Case Officer had requested an expedite check of GEORGE DE MOHRENSCHILDT for reasons unknown to Security."

There is one alleged ex-CIA contract employee, now working for an oil company in Los Angeles, prepared to testify that de Mohrenschildt was the overseer of an aborted CIA plot to overthrow Haitian President Francois ("Papa Doc") Duvalier in June 1963. The existence of such a plot was examined, but apparently couldn't be substantiated, by the Church Committee. Herb Atkin is sure the plot did exist.

"I knew de Mohrenschildt as Philip Harbin," Atkin said when contacted by telephone a few days after the Baron's suicide. "A lot of people in Washington have claimed that Harbin did not exist. But he's the one that ran me from the late fifties onward. I'm certain that de Mohrenschildt was my case officer's real name."

If so, the Harbin alias may have a readily identifiable origin. De Mohrenschildt's fourth wife, Jeanna, was born in Harbin, China.

One summer day in 1976, still in her bathrobe, she sat at a dining room table cluttered with plants and dishes and watched her husband begin to pace the floor. "Of course, the truth of the assassination has not come out," she said. "It will never come out. But we know it was a vast conspiracy."

The Baron turned to face her. "Oswald," he said, "was a harmless lunatic."

At our first interview, I had asked de Mohrenschildt what he knew about the recurring reports of Oswald in the presence of Cubans. He had nodded agreement. "Oswald probably did not know himself who they were," he replied. "I myself was in a little bit of danger from those Cubans, but I don't know who they are. Criminal lunatics."When I broached the subject now in the presence of his wife, de Mohrenschildt said something to her in Russian. She then answered for him: "That's a different story. But one must examine the anti-Castro motive of the time. After the Bay of Pigs."

A few months later, de Mohrenschildt was committed by his wife to the psychiatric unit of Parkland Memorial Hospital. There were rumors of a book naming CIA names in connection with Oswald, squirreled away with his wife's attorney. According to journalist Oltmans, upon leaving the hospital de Mohrenschildt told him: "They're going to kill me or put me away forever. You've got to get me out of the country." In March, the Baron took a leave-of-absence from his French professorship at Dallas' virtually all-black Bishop College. He flew with Oltmans to Belgium, wandered away during lunch, and wound up in Florida at his daughter's home. There, a tape machine being used to transcribe a television program is said to have recorded his suicide.

Unfortunately deMohrenschildt was not very forthcoming during our interviews, although his wife Jeanna said "Of course we know it was a vast conspiracy," at which point George told her to shut up. (Or maybe it was the other way around, but I think I told the story in my first book). As I recall, I tried to track down Oltmans at the time but either couldn't do it, or he didn't want to be interviewed. (My memory is a bit reluctant after 30-plus years away from this particular subject).

-" But how credible was de Mohrenschildt? As an old friend in Dallas' Russian community, George Bouhe, once put it: "He's better equipped than anybody to talk. But we have an old Russian proverb that will always apply to George de Mohrenschildt: "The soul of the other person is in the darkness."' "

На во́ре ша́пка гори́т. Чужа́я душа́ – потёмки.
Transliteration: Chuzhaya dusha - potyomki.
Translation: Other person's soul is [in] darkness.
Moral: You can't know for sure what people think.

"He's better equipped than anybody to talk. But we have an old Russian proverb that will always apply to George de Mohrenschildt" : 'You can't know for sure what people think.'

or 'G De M is better equipped than anybody to talk but you can't know for sure what he is thinking?'

I should explain why it took me a while to get onto the de Mohrenschildt bandwagon relatively late in the game but some of my recent research has piqued my endless curiousity once again.

The ironic part is that his background and that of most of the other Dallas petroleum geologists circulating in his orbit were "White Russians", ex-Czarists, and supporters of other blatant pro-Fascists, palpable pro-Nazis and those with similar backgrounds and proclivities. My travels actually led me to his fearless leader, Anastase Vonsiatsky, who had his headquarters in Harbin, Manchuria where over 100,000 of their "White Russian" compatriots were living in exile from Communist Russia just waiting for their chance to retake Moscow. Wonder what they ate in Japanese occupied Manchuria as White Russians? Sushi with chopsticks? Szechuan Chinese cuisine with Tsingtao beer chasers? Or Borscht and other delicacies such as Veal Orloff, Beef Stroganoff, Chicken Kiev, and Sharlotka (Charlotte Russe)? Regardless, they thrived and survived for decades in Harbin where the infamous Harbin lead pencils are still made today. Did you ever wonder what the word Harbin meant on your elementary school yellow pencils with the pink eraser? Well wonder no more. It must have been a early mind control plot to control what you wrote. Many of you must be using Harbin pencils today. (just kidding) Some of you have an extended history with Mind Control and Beef Stoganoff it appears. (Not kidding)

The brand new lead regarding Coudert Brothers Law Firm, who ran the "White Russian Rat Lines" from Paris to New York city, and de Mohrenschildt's background in the Baku Oil fields in Russia with not only Branobel Oil Company run by the Nobels of Nobel Peace Price fame but also the Buckley oil interests in Pantapec Oil is what has gotten me interested in Georgie boy once again. Remember that Buckley's father, Wickliffe Draper's uncle George Otis Draper, and Charles Willoughby himself himself all rode in John J. Pershing's cavalry chasing after Pancho Villa into New Mexico after World War I. It was the start of a long standing partnership and a recurring theme: "the revenge of the blue bloods" against upstart foreign renegades and "banditos" who represented countries that tried to appropriate US investments in foreign countries which would last for more almost 100 years and it is still going on today.

There was no OSS, no CIA and no formal Army Intelligence but there always was this internecine relationship between American businessmen and the US Military which came into play whenever these "banditos" started to hit the bluebloods in the pocketbook. Sounds obvious, but it is important to realize the origins of this theme and its eventual maturation into today's incarnation. Read: "War is a Racket." by General Smedley Butler.

Clearly the gist of this posting reveals that Georgie boy was a Reinhard von Gehlen Nazi-boy...

George de Mohrenschildt: Oswald’s “Handler?”

George de Mohrenschildt was born in Moyzr, Russia, to anti-Bolshevik activist Sergius Alexander von Mohrenschildt, on April 17th 1911. After his father was sentenced to a Siberian exile after the Russian Revolution, his family fled to Poland, where George attended a military academy.

In 1938, he migrated to America, and was kept under FBI surveillance due to his Nazi connections: his cousin, the Baron Constantine Maybell, worked directly under Reinhard Gehlen at Abwehr, the massive Nazi intelligence agency that planted agents within America. Gehlen put Maydell in charge of CIA’s Russian émigré program, in which Nazi agents infiltrated Russian organizations in the US. If Counterterrorist stumbles across this, he might have a few interesting things to say about the Abwhr. Furthermore, Mohrenschildt’s wife claimed that he [George] was a Nazi-spy in America. This very well may be true, because in 1941, Mohrenschildt worked at Film Facts, a New York based production company run by Maydell. In this time period, Mohrenschildt attempted to join the OSS but was rejected, and he made a documentary about the Polish Freedom Fighters. Interestingly, his brother, Dimitri von Mohrenschildt, was a member of the OSS, as well as a founder of CIA’s Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. The other two founders were Maydell’s employeer, Reinhard Gehlen, and J. Peter Grace, whose has other ties to George. Mohrenschildt in this time also worked for the Shumaker company in New York, under a man named Pierre Fraiss, who maintained a connection with French intelligence forces. He also spent considerable time with the Bouvier family, and of course, Jackie Bouvier was later become Jackie Kennedy.

After getting his petroleum geology degree in 1949, Mohrenschildt took a job in Dallas for Clint Murchinson’s oil company. Murchinson was a friend of J. Edgar Hoover and maintained ties with the Genovese Mafia crime family. He worked for a myriad of oil companies in this time period: Humble Oil, which of course, was run by the Nazi-connected Prescott Bush. The name “George Bush” would later be found in his address book, as well as the number of Bush’s “Zapata Oil”. He had another connection to George Bush: he was the uncle of Edward Gordon Hooker, who was Bush’s roommate at Andover. Mohrenschildt also worked for Nobel Oil, which was owned by John McCloy, who was a consultant to pre-war I.G. Farben, a friend of J. Edgar Hoover, and member of the Warren Commission. He worked for Pantepec Oil, which was run by the Buckley Family. Buckley, of course, founded the Young American’s for Freedom; its membership including Senator Tower, who we saw above allowing Oswald to come back to America with strange ease. Mohrenschildt also befriended William Grace, whose son, J. Peter Grace, worked with Dimitri von Mohrenschildt and Reinhard Gehlen (employer of Maydell) for Radio Europe. Significantly, J. Peter Grace also counted in his friends another Nazi: Frederick Flick, who worked for I.G. Farben. This is three connections to I.G. Farben for Mohrenschildt: Bush, McCloy, and Grace. Flick’s legal consultant was Carl Byvoir, who also represented Howard Hughes. Mohrenschildt is rumoured to have had ties with Hughes, but I’ve yet to confirm it.


In 1959, Mohrenschildnt married Jean LeGon, who worked at a high end fashion store in Dallas called Nardis. The owner of this was Abraham Zapruder. Mohrenschildnt might have met LeGon through Zapruder, as both were members of the Dallas Council on World Affairs, one which both were members. Others members included Clint Murchinson, H.L. Hunt, George Bush, Sarah Hughes (who would later swear in LBJ on Air Force One in Dallas the day of assassination), Mr. Byrds, who was the owner of the Book Depository, and George de Mohrenschildt’s brother, Dimitri von Mohrenschildt. Allegedly, the Dallas Council on World Affairs was sponsored by the CIA, though I’ve yet to confirm this.
In the early 1960s, Mohrenschildt became involved in Murchinson’s interests in Haiti, and became involved in oil transactions with the dictator Papa Doc Duvalier. It was later revealed that this was actually a CIA operation: former CIA agent, Herbert Atkin, revealed that Mohrenschildt’s activities in Haiti was actually a cover for his intelligence gathering operation for the CIA’s attempt to overthrow Duvalier. In May of 1963, he arranged a meeting between Clemard Joseph Charles, who grew hemp in Haiti, and Army Intelligence assistant director Dorothy Matlack. After this meeting, Charles became the primary CIA contact in Haiti. In 1967, he was involved in the CIA/Haitian/Cuban Exiles plot to invade Haiti from Florida, a sort of sequel to the Bay of Pigs. The man in head of this operation was Mitch WerBell, who in WWII, served in the OSS alongside E. Howard Hunt. Mohrenschildt also had connections to the Bay of Pigs incident: in 1961, he traveled to Guatemala City, where the Cuban exiles were planning Bay of Pigs, in 1962, Jerry Hammings placed him at a meeting where assassination plots of Castro were discussed. Mohrenschidt allegedly brought piles of hundred dollar bills to pay assassins.

While he was contracting for the CIA in Haiti, Mohrenschildt was doing other work for the agency. In 1961, he was approached by J. Walter Moore, a CIA agent who worked for the Domestic Contact Service. Moore asked Mohrenschildlt to befriend Lee Harvey Oswald and report back to them on his activities. But given that Oswald was almost certainly an intelligence agent, then would Mohrenschildt have been his handler? After spending two months in Haiti, the Mohrenschildts returned to Dallas and befriended Lee and Marina Oswald. The first day that George met the Oswalds, he was accompanied by Colonel Lawrence Orlov, who had ties himself to the Texas oil world. Mihkail Lebedev, who promoted the idea that the Bornmann network was behind the JFK assassination (it would be nice to have Counterterrorist’s input here too, I might u2u him), connected Orlov to the Clay Shaw/David Ferrie/Guy Banister crowd. The Mohrenschildts introduced the Oswald’s members of the White Russian community, an odd move for a self proclaimed Marxist, and White Russians were anti-Communist to the bone, and frequently tied to Nazism, like George de Mohrenschildt himself. Abraham Zapruder himself was a White Russian, but it is unknown if the Oswalds ever met him. The Mohrenschildts did introduce them to the Paine family, Michael and Ruth. The Oswalds would move in with the Paine’s, and Ruth Paine would get Lee Harvey a job at the Book Depository. The rest is history. Interestingly, the alleged photo of Oswald holding the gun was given to Mohrenschildt, with the note on the back reading “Killer of fascists, ha-ha-ha!”, which Mohrenschildt took to be sarcastic.

The assassination occurred while the Mohrenschildts were in Haiti, but after the assassination, Mohrenschildt returned in 1964 to testify before the Warren Commission. In this year, many of his CIA files were destroyed, and James Jesus Angelton started monitoring his mail. Angelton, it would seem, would later attempt to frame E. Howard Hunt for the assassination, if his theory that Oswald was under Soviet influence didn’t hold water.

Through the 1970s, Mohrenschildt’s behavior became erratic and his mind unstable. He attempted to contact then CIA director George Bush because he felt he was being harassed due to the renewed interest in the JFK case. In 1973, he divorced from Jeanne, but in 1976, she had him placed in a mental hospital. He was hearing voices and having visions, and was convinced that the FBI and Jewish Mafia were persecuting him.

In 1977, he finally unveiled to JFK assassination researcher Edward Jay Epstein that the CIA indeed had asked him to befriend Oswald. During a break in this interview, Mohrenschildt was given a card by investigator Gaeton Fonzi, who wanted him to testify for the House Select Committee on Assassinations. That afternoon, he was found by his daughter, Alexandra, having placed a shotgun in his mouth, and pulled the trigger. This “suicide” is often debated, however, based on the lack of suicide notes, and his wife has promoted the idea that he was killed to prevent him from testifying for the House Select Committee. Edward Jay Epstein also stated that after Mohrenschildt’s death, he was hassled by State Attorney David Bludworth, who was convinced that he had Mohrenschildn’t “black book”.

Again and again, the government had denied Mohrenschildnt’s connections to the intelligence agencies. However, it seems that ever since he came to America, he’s been involved in the world of espionage, either through family connections or employers. But in the 1960s, right at the time he got involved with the Oswalds on behalf of the CIA, he was a CIA asset in Haiti. His connections in the Dallas elite set the whole stage for the assassination: from the Book Depository to, in a weird twist of fate, the Zapruder film.

Obviously the Paines had more in common with Nazis than with a Democracy.... they were John Birchers like Robert Morris and Charles Willoughby...

The Paine Family: The Last Puzzle Piece

Michael Paine was born in 1928, while his future wife was born in 1932. A committed Quaker, Ruth Paine, who would get Oswald the job at the Book Depository, was educated at Swarthmore College, where Michael Paine had transferred to after Harvard. Through a common interest in folk music and dancing, the two met and soon became married. The two moved into a house in Irving, a suburb of Dallas, after Michael took a job at Bell Aviation under ex-Nazi Walter Dorenberger. His job was arranged by his stepfather, Arthur M. Young, who created the essential piece for helicopters, the key rotor stabilizer bar. As we’ll see in a minute, Young has a downright bizarre connection to the intelligence community.

In 1963, Michael Paine moved from their home, though the two maintained a close connection. Within the month, Ruth Paine is introduced to Lee Harvey and Marina Oswald by George de Mohrenschildt. Marina and her daughter quickly moved into the Paine house, while Lee Harvey rented a room in Dallas, but stored things – including one certain rifle – in the Paine garage. Ruth Paine actually took the time to drive Lee Harvey Oswald to New Orleans to join the Free Play for Cuba Committee, which many have indicated was a CIA front connected to the Bay of Pigs fiasco. In the very least, it was being infiltrated by the agency: CIA officer Joseph Smith is quoting saying that he believed that Oswald was part of this infiltration.

There is excellent evidence linking the Paines to the intelligence community – particularly Ruth. Michael’s employer, Walter Dorenberger, was a former Nazi scientist who was connected to the OSS in Operation Paperclip, while his cousin, Thomas Dudley Cabot, was the president of United Fruit, and had offered the CIA their Gibraltar Steamship as a cover for the Bay of Pigs invasion. Another cousin was Alexander Cochrane Forbes, who was a director of United Fruit, Interestingly, the Forbes family got its wealth from the opium trade in China. Bell Helicopter, of course, is closely connected to the intelligence community. Ruth Paine, on the other hand, is named in the Tyree deposition:

Carone also told Tyree that he "had taken money to a female named Ruth Paine in late 1956 on orders from William Casey There is additional evidence linking the Paines to the intelligence community: Roy Frankhauser, an operative for the National Security Council, details at length how the NSC infiltrated far-left groups in America, most notably, the Social Workers Party, or SWP. Frankhauser states that he met two other agents while infiltrating the SWP, Michael and Ruth Paine. Michael and Ruth Paine helped him join a “secret, paramilitary, leftist organization”, the goals of which were “breaking Martin Luther King out of jail”, “killing Alabama sheriff ‘Bull’ Connor”, and “assassinate President Eisenhower”. Furthermore, the SWP attempted to get a man named Steve Roberts elected for governor of California in 1946. In the 1960s, the SWP named this man the head of their new organization: The Fair Play for Cuba Committee. This brings us back to Oswald and Bay of Pigs.[an OSS - CIA operative who was CIA Director from 1981 to 1987]".

According to the Tyree lawsuit, "Carone said that Paine was approached by the CIA to find and recruit an individual that was expendable, with communist ties and some type of anti-American background.

Noteworthy is that Michael Paine, who at a glance appears to be a Communist-leaning liberal, was a member of the John Birch Society. Other John Birch members in the Dallas area included Clint Murchinson and H.L. Hunt. When the Paine home was searched after the assassination, Buddy Walthers found "found six or seven metal filing cabinets full of letters, maps, records and index cards with names of pro-Castro sympathizers." James DiEugenio has argued that this "cinches the case that the Paines were domestic surveillance agents in the Cold War against communism." This dove-tails perfectly into what Frankhauser was saying.

Michael’s step-father, Bell employee Arthur M. Young, is also of interest here. Young was a member of the Round Table Organization, which was founded by Andrija Puharich. In the 1950s, the CIA sent Puharich to Israel to get the famous psychic Uri Geller, who was himself a Mossad agent. All the 1940s and 50s, Puharich was involved in Army Intelligence research into parapsychology for information gathering purposes, and the Round Table Organization was also a front for this. The RTO was also closely associated with the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project, which focused on Atomic research, and medical research on the effects of radiation was sub-contracted to the RTO. Funding for the RTO came from SRI, under the direction of Hal Puthoff. Puthoff was a friend of Luis Alvarez, who had used the Zapruder film to determine that Oswald killed JFK. The two had sat on the Robertson Panel, which debunked UFOs. Two others members included Frederick Durant, who worked at Bell with Dorenberger, Young, and Paine. Dornberger, Durant, Werner Von Braun, and another Nazi scientist named Krafft Ehricke worked together on a concept for a “moon base”.

When Michael Paine heard about Oswald and the assassination, he made some strange statements:

A work friend of Michael Paine, Frank Krystinik, told the Warren Commission about how he reacted when he heard the news that J. D. Tippit had been killed: "We heard that Officer Tippit had been shot, and it wasn't very long after that that it came through that the Oswald fellow had been captured, had had a pistol with him, and Michael used some expression, I have forgotten exactly what the expression was, and then he said, "The stupid," something, I have forgotten. It wasn't a complimentary thing. He said, "He is not even supposed to have a gun." And that I can quote, "He is not even supposed to have a gun." Or, "Not even supposed to own a gun," I have forgotten."

Furthermore, the day of the assassination, just hours prior, Michael Paine talked with his fellow employees at Bell about the “character of assassins”. He was also heard, later that day, when the assassination occurred, talking to his wife on the phone, saying “We both know who is responsible”.

Clearly, the Paine family has deep connections to the espionage world, all the way into the space program and atomic research. It would also appear that they were involved in the FBI’s COINTELPRO, which was the infiltration of left-wing groups in order to subvert them. Oswald may have also been involved in this.

Here are some notes from John Simkin's page on Georgie boy... who never did get into the OSS and more than likely could not get into the CIA
if he tried after his reputation as a Nazi, pro-Fascist and White Russian became apparent...

George de Mohrenschildt, the son of a wealthy noble, was born in Russia on 17th April, 1911. His father and uncle, ran the Branobel Oil Company in Baku on the coast of Caspian Sea.

In 1915 the government of Nicholas II dispatched another uncle, Ferdinand von Mohrenschildt to Washington to plead for American intervention in the First World War. He stayed in the country and eventually married the step-granddaughter of President Woodrow Wilson.

After the Russian Revolution his father, Sergius Alexander von Mohrenschildt, was imprisoned by the Bolsheviks. In 1921 he was sent to Siberia but managed to escape with his family to Poland. His wife died soon afterwards from typhoid fever.

While a young man George de Mohrenschildt left Poland and spent time travelling around Europe. He later claimed that he was involved in a pro-Nazi plot to kill Joseph Stalin. (Note: Vonsiatsky was part of this plot as well. George reported to Vonsiatsky.)

De Mohrenschildt reached the United States in 1938. The British intelligence services warned the American government that they suspected that De Monrenschildt was working for German intelligence. (He was.)

De Mohrenschildt went to live with his older brother, Dimitri de Mohrenschildt and new sister-in-law (Betty Hooker). He found employment with the Shumaker company in New York and worked under Pierre Fraiss who was connected with French intelligence. De Mohrenschildt agreed to collect information on people involved in "pro-German activity". In 1939 he went to work for Humble Oil, a company that was co-founded by Prescott Bush.

During this period de Mohrenschildt met George H. W. Bush. According to Bush: "I first met him in the early 40s. He was an uncle to my Andover roommate (Edward Hooker)." He also met Jacqueline Bouvier, who called him "Uncle George" and would sit on his knee.

In 1941 de Mohrenschildt went to work for his cousin, Baron Maydell, and his company, Film Facts, in New York City. Maydell was also known to have pro-Nazi sympathies. During this period he made a documentary about the resistance movement in Poland. Later that year he failed in his attempt to join the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).

After the Second World War de Mohrenschildt moved to Venezuela where he worked for Pantepec Oil, a company owned by the family of William F. Buckley. In 1950 he launched an oil investment firm with Edward Hooker with offices in New York City, Denver and Abilene. In 1952 De Mohrenschildt moved to Dallas where he worked for the oil millionaire, Clint Murchison. He joined the Dallas Petroleum Club and became a regular at Council on World Affairs meetings, a right-wing organization established by Neil Mallon.

De Mohrenschildt also joined the Texas Crusade for Freedom. Other members included Earle Cabell, Everette DeGolyer, Harold Byrd, Ted Dealey, Paul Raigorodsky, George Bouhe, Neil Mallon and Lewis MacNaughton.

In 1957 George de Mohrenschildt met J. Walton Moore, the local CIA man in Dallas. According to Russ Baker, the two men had several meetings over the next few years.

George de Mohrenschildt also worked for a company called Cuban-Venezuelan Oil Voting Trust Company (CVOVT) that had been established by William Buckley Sr. During this period he got to know Jack Alston Crichton, who was one of several oil men who began negotiating with Fulgencio Batista, the military dictator of Cuba. Crichton later remarked that "I liked George. He was a nice guy."

In 1961 George de Mohrenschildt was invited to lunch by J. Walton Moore. According to Edward Jay Epstein, during the meeting Moore told de Mohrenschildt about Lee Harvey Oswald living in Minsk. In October, 1962 De Mohrenschildt met with Oswald in Fort Worth. Over the next few months he took Oswald to anti-Castro meetings in Dallas. De Mohrenschildt later told Epstein that he was asked by Moore to find out about Oswald's time in the Soviet Union. In return he was given help with an oil deal he was negotiating with Papa Doc Duvalier, the Haitian dictator. In March 1963, De Mohrenschildt got the contract from the Haitian government. He had assumed that this was because of the help he had given to the CIA.

In February, 1963 George de Mohrenschildt introduced Marina Oswald and Lee Harvey Oswald to Ruth Paine. On 24th April, 1963, Marina and her daughter went to live with Paine. Oswald rented a room in Dallas but stored some of his possessions in Ruth Paine’s garage. Ruth also helped Oswald to get a job at the Texas Book Depository.

Family of Secrets

Legacy of Secrecy



In 1963 De Mohrenschildt moved to Haiti. After the assassination of John F. Kennedy de Mohrenschildt was recalled to America to testify before the Warren Commission. He was asked about the claim of Marina Oswald that he knew about Oswald's attempt to kill General Edwin Walker. After giving evidence he returned to Haiti.

On 5th September 1976 De Mohrenschildt sent a message to George H. W. Bush, who was at that time director of the CIA: "Maybe you will be able to bring a solution to the hopeless situation I find myself in. My wife and I find ourselves surrounded by some vigilantes; our phone bugged; and we are being followed everywhere. Either FBI is involved in this or they do not want to accept my complaints. We are driven to insanity by the situation. I have been behaving like a damn fool ever since my daughter Nadya died from (cystic fibrosis) over three years ago. I tried to write, stupidly and unsuccessfully, about Lee H Oswald and must have angered a lot of people I do not know. But to punish an elderly man like myself and my highly nervous and sick wife is really too much. Could you do something to remove the net around us? This will be my last request for help and I will not annoy you any more."

Two months later George de Mohrenschildt was committed to a mental institution. According to his wife, Jeanne de Mohrenschildt, he was suffering from depression. He was taken to Parkland Hospital and underwent electroshock therapy.

In February 1977, Willem Oltmans, met George de Mohrenschildt at the library of Bishop College in Dallas, where he taught French. Oltmans later told the House Select Committee on Assassinations: "I couldn't believe my eyes. The man had changed drastically... he was nervous, trembling. It was a scared, a very, very scared person I saw. I was absolutely shocked, because I knew de Mohrenschildt as a man who wins tennis matches, who is always suntanned, who jogs every morning, who is as healthy as a bull."

According to Willem Oltmans, he confessed to being involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. "I am responsible. I feel responsible for the behaviour of Lee Harvey Oswald... because I guided him. I instructed him to set it up." Oltmans claimed that de Mohrenschildt had admitted serving as a middleman between Lee Harvey Oswald and H. L. Hunt in an assassination plot involving other Texas oilmen, anti-Castro Cubans, and elements of the FBI and CIA.

Oltmans told the HSCA: "He begged me to take him out of the country because they are after me." On 13th February 1977, Oltmans took de Mohrenschildt to his home in Amsterdam where they worked on his memoirs. Over the next few weeks de Mohrenschildt claimed he knew Jack Ruby and argued that Texas oilmen joined with intelligence operatives to arrange the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Willem Oltmans arranged for George de Mohrenschildt to meet a Dutch publisher and the head of Dutch national television. The two men then travelled to Brussels. When they arrived, Oltmans mentioned that an old friend of his, a Soviet diplomat, would be joining them a bit later for lunch. De Mohrenschildt said he wanted to take a short walk before lunch. Instead, he fled to a friend's house and after a few days he flew back to the United States. He later accused Oltmans of betraying him. Russ Baker suggests in his book Family of Secrets: "Perhaps, and this would be strictly conjecture, de Mohrenschildt saw what it meant that he, like Oswald, was being placed in the company of Soviets. He was being made out to be a Soviet agent himself. And once that happened, his ultimate fate was clear."

The House Select Committee on Assassinations were informed of George de Mohrenschildt's return to the United States and sent its investigator, Gaeton Fonzi, to find him. Fonzi discovered he was living with his daughter in Palm Beach. However, Fonzi was not the only person looking for de Mohrenschildt. On 15th March 1977 he had a meeting with Edward Jay Epstein that had been arranged by the Reader's Digest magazine. Epstein offered him $4,000 for a four-day interview.

On 27th March, 1977, George de Mohrenschildt arrived at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach and spent the day being interviewed by Epstein. According to Epstein, they spent the day talking about his life and career up until the late 1950s.

Two days later Edward Jay Epstein asked him about Lee Harvey Oswald. As he wrote in his diary: "Then, this morning, I asked him about why he, a socialite in Dallas, sought out Oswald, a defector. His explanation, if believed, put the assassination in a new and unnerving context. He said that although he had never been a paid employee of the CIA, he had "on occasion done favors" for CIA connected officials. In turn, they had helped in his business contacts overseas. By way of example, he pointed to the contract for a survey of the Yugoslavian coast awarded to him in 1957. He assumed his "CIA connections" had arranged it for him and he provided them with reports on the Yugoslav officials in whom they had expressed interest."

Epstein and de Mohrenschildt, broke for lunch and decided to meet again at 3 p.m. George De Mohrenschildt returned to his room where he found a card from Gaeton Fonzi, an investigator working for the House Select Committee on Assassinations. George De Mohrenschildt's body was found later that day. He had apparently committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth.

On 11th May, 1978, Jeanne de Mohrenschildt gave an interview to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where she said that she did not accept that her husband had committed suicide. She also said that she believed Lee Harvey Oswald was an agent of the United States, possibly of the CIA, and that she was convinced he did not kill John F. Kennedy. She then went onto say: "They may get me too, but I'm not afraid... It's about time somebody looked into this thing."

Anyone who reads this should be convinced that the primary, defining characteristic and persona of de Mohrenschildt was that of a [b]White Russian pro-Nazi and blatant Fascist, his 24/7 occupation, and not that of either an OSS agent or CIA agent or FBI plant or whatever other fictions have been associated with him. Even the FBI spied on Georgie boy and the OSS turned him down outright. [/b] He should also be known as a close fiend of Condon's Dirty Dozen.

He joined a whole slew of people in Condon's Dirty Dozen like William F. Buckley, Jr., Robert J. Morris, Anastase Vonsiatsky, Boris Brasol, Adrian Arcand, and Gerald L. K. Smith while at Coudert Brothers law firm in about 1941-1942 after that firm, owned by French brothers, brought him into the United States. Perhaps Carl Byvoir and Pierre Fraisse from French intelligence were involved with Coudert Brothers as well. More later as discovered.

Bottom line is those who insist that Georgie boy's role in the JFK and Oswald conundrum was as a bought and paid for CIA agent are just totally incorrect.
He was a Nazi agent, and a Nazi spy and a White Russian Fascist leader.

He was Oswald's "Programmed Mind Controller" courtesy of his Harbin, Manchuria training under Vonsiatsky.

Pattern begins to emerge... Was de Mohrenschildt a total loser?

(1) de Mohrenschildt was declared 4-F for military service
(2) de Mohrenschildt could not even pass a simple Insurance Examination
(3) de Mohrenschildt was rejected by the OSS probably because he was a Nazi spy
(4) de Mohrenschildt worked for everyone and anyone but mostly rich fascists, Birchers, YAFers and pro-Nazis like Morris, Buckley, the Couderts, H. L. Hunt, etc.
(5) de Mohrenschildt was basically Oswald's "Mind Controller" and programmer using MK/ULTRA techniques learned from Vonsiatsky, THE Manchurian Candidate

THE MAN IN THE SHADOWS
Part One

By Tommy Wilkens

This story will be a complete examination of one of the most mysterious individuals that surfaced in the investigation of President John F. Kennedy's assassination .Baron George DeMohrenschildt born April 17, 1911 in Mozyr,Czarist Russia. DeMohrenschildt comes from what is called by-the-Baltic Germans. By-the-Baltic Germans are Germans that lived by the Baltic Sea and they were Russians or rather, Russiafied Germans and they were in the service of the Czar for generations and generations and were considered Russians. Most of them were barons. The "de" in De Mohrenschildt signifies that the family had a title. His father was Baron Sergius Alexander Von Mohrenschildt and his mother was Alexandra Zopalsky. In 1918 DeMohrenschildt lived in Minsk Russia .Sergius was a "marshal of nobility" in the Minsk Province, and he served as director of the Nobel interests in Russia. In 1920 Sergius was seized and put in jail by the Communists for criticizing the Communist Government .By 1921 his father was banished to Siberia after his second arrest,and was sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1922 Sergius was released from prison due to health problems and escaped with his family to Poland were Alexander died soon after from typhoid fever which she had contracted during the escape.
In 1929 George DeMohrenschildt volunteered for the Polish Army and attended a Polish military academy in Grudziondz. In 1931 he Graduated from the Polish military academy with rank of sergeant candidate officer. DeMohrenschildt then proceded to Belgium and enrolled in The Institut Superieur de Commerce at Antwerp. DeMohrenschildt then returned to Poland to take part in military summer maneuvrs.
In 1936 DeMohrenschildt received his masters degree equivalent from the Institute Superieur de Commerce at Antwerp. DeMohrenschildt then enrolled at the University of Liege.In 1938 DeMohrenschildt received the equivalent of a doctor of science of international commerce from the University of Liege. During this period DeMohrenschildt ran a sports shop business .In May of 1938 DeMohrenschildt emigrated to the United States with approximately $10,000 from his late mother's estate and from the sale of his sports business.His first job upon arriving in New York City was with a perfume company by the name of Chevalier Garde .He then moved on to work for Shumaker & Com .It was during this period DeMohrenschildt met Janet Norton Lee Auchincloss mother of Jacqueline Lee Bouvier who would go on to be one of the most famous women to ever live . Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy. Janet Auchincloss almost married DeMohrenschildt, and her daughter Jackie grew up calling him “Uncle George.� Her father was Wall Street Stockbroker John Vernou Bouvier or better known as "Black Jack Bouvier". In 1939 DeMohrenschildt became involved in the insurance business , but was unable to pass the examination needed to obtain his Ins. agent license. In 1940 DeMohrenschildt worked for the Humble Oil Company in Houston,Texas.During this period DeMohrenschildt was known to have visited the home of Margaret Clark Williams who had a very large oil property in Louisiana.It was here were DeMohrenschildt worked as a oil roughneck, or roustabout for three to four months. During his oil field stint DeMohrenschildt had an accident on the oil rig,and was badly injured .DeMohrenschildt then contracted amoebic dysentery which ended his work as a roustabout. He then returned to New York City to recover from his injuries and illness. After recovering in New York City DeMohrenschildt contacted the Polish Embassy in Washington, D.C. about volunteering to join the Polish Army .He was informed he could not join and then reached out to his Cousin Baron Maydell the year was 1941. DeMohrenschildt began work with Maydell's company, Film Facts,Inc.in New York. De Mohrenschildt said he saw the work as an opportunity to learn something about making documentary movies. With the Baron they made a documentary about the resistance movement in Poland and solicited the sponsorship of the Polish Consulate. DeMohrenschildt said the movie was also used to benefit Polish refugees.In DeMohrenschildt's Central Intelligence Agency file there contains a memo dated July 30, 1942, that referred to some type of film enterprise.There's very little doubt that this enerprise was Film Facts,Inc. of New York. The memo is written by a Ensign Horrigan and directed to Commander Vanderbilt of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). In the memo Ensign Horrigan states that DeMohrenschildt said he was representing an Irish film company that had taken pictures during the Spanish Civil War.Ensign Horrigan wrote DeMohrenschildt's uncle Baron Maydell's apartment was raided and that many films of a pro-Nazi nature were discovered which were intended to show the force and effectiveness of the German Army.
This seems to be a turning point for DeMohrenschildt ,it was 1941 and he had moved on to work with Pierre Fraiss at the Shumaker Co. He was assisting Pierre Fraiss in collecting facts on people involved in pro-German activity on behalf of the French intelligence in the United States. DeMohrenschildt himself told the Warren Commission in his testimony that in 1941 he was involved with Pierre Fraiss who was connected with French intelligence work in the United States.At this point George DeMohrenschildt seems to have entered the Intelligence community in some form. After moving to the Dallas/Fort Worth area DeMohrenschildt made several connections about oil companies that had made French purchases.DeMohrenschildt in 1941 had tried to enlist in the United States military but recieved a 4-F deferment.A 4-F defermant means a the person is not acceptable for military service. To be eligible for Class 4-F, a registrant must have been found not qualified for service in the Armed Forces by a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) under the established physical, mental, or moral standards. This would be a good starting point on figuring out what was the reason that George DeMohrenschildt was rejected from the United States military service .
After being turned down for U.S. military service DeMohrenschildt met Lilia Pardo Larin which he called the love of his life .He met Miss Larin through the "King of Bananas" of Brazil, Dr. Paulo Machado. And went to live with her in Mexico.
On October 8, 1942 the U.S. Department of State placed a "refusal" or "lookout" in DeMohrenschildt's passport office file. A "lookout" placed on an individuals passport is a red flagging and when this individual applied for any type of passport action the file would be reviewed to determine if the person posed a security threat or had made false statements upon entering the United States.The reason given for the "lookout" in DeMohrenschildt's file was he was alleged to be a German Nazi agent. After a courtship with Miss Larin DeMohrenschildt returned to the Texas area for a visit and possible more .The Car DeMohrenschildt and Miss Larin occupied was stopped by several FBI agents at Corpus Christi Texas and agents accused DeMohrenschildt of taking pictures and sketching a military Coast Guard Instillation and being possibley a German Nazi spy.After being detainned several hours the couple was allowed to cross the border into Mexico .DeMohrenschildt and Miss Larin remained in Mexico for the next 9 months.With his savings DeMohrenschildt invested in a local sugar company.After local Mexican officials determined DeMohrenschildt was involved in an illicit relationship with Miss Larin DeMohrenschildt was escourted back to the United States. After resurfacing in 1942 DeMohrenschildt met Dorothy Pierson of Palm Beach Florida. After a year long courtship DeMohrenschildt married Miss Pierson in 1943.Shortly after his marriege DeMohrenschildt an amature artist exhibited several paintings at the Newton Gallery in New York City.His marriege to Dorothy Pierson was short lived and ended in a divorce. By 1944 DeMohrenschildt traveled back to Texas. Got a student loan from the Russian Student fund. He then applied to the Colorado School of Mines,to the Rice Institute and the University of Texas. DeMohrenschildt chose and entered the University of Texas School of Geology with a minor in petroleum engineering. By 1945 DeMohrenschildt had received his masters degree in petroleum geology.After graduation he was hired by Pantepec Oil Company as a field engineer in Venezuela .After a short stint with Pantepec Oil DeMohrenschildt returned to the United States in 1946 .
DeMohrenschildt then landed a job with the Rangely Field Committee in Colorado and worked in drilling statisitcs and technology.On a vacation to New York City DeMohrenschildt met Phyllis Washington . And once agian after a short romance DeMohrenschildt married Miss Washington in a private ceremony .With his new wife in tow DeMohrenschildt went for the first time to Haiti and began establishing a mining and development business in the year 1947 .With very little success DeMohrenschildt returned to the United States in July of 1949 and became an American citizen. After a short two years DeMohrenschildt was divorced agian .Trying to make a new start in 1950 DeMohrenschildt moved to Denver Colarado and formed the Hooker and DeMohrenschildt partnership with Edward Hooker.It was a partnership in drilling and leases .By 1951 DeMohrenschildt had found love once agian with Miss Wynne Sharples.After a short period DeMohrenschildt was married to Wynne Sharples .The partnership with Edward Hooker ended in 1952 and DeMohrenschildt with his new wife returned to New York City .After returning to New York the couple had a son Sergei DeMohrenschildt and then a year later in 1954 they had a daughter Nayda DeMohrenschildt.Later in the year 1954 DeMohrenschildt formed with the help from his wife Wynnes uncle Colonel Edward J.Walz the Waldon Oil Company .The short lived venture ended before 1956 . DeMohrenschildt then took a job back in Haiti with the Sinclair Oil Company .At this point it seems DeMohrenschildt has turned into a globetrotter traveling to Nigeria,France,Mexico,Togoland on oil exploration ventures.And then becomes affiliated with the Pantetec Oil Company and goes to Cuba.And travels for the Charmax Company the Cuban Venezuelan Trust Company the Warren-Smith Company, the Three States Oil and Gas Company, and the Legman Trading Corporation .In 1957 DeMohrenschildt is contacted by the Core Laboratory of Dallas Texas about doing work in Yugoslavia for The International Cooperation Administration and the Yugoslavia Government .Also in 1957 his marriage to Wynne Sharples comes to an end in divorce .From Feb.to Oct.1957 DeMohrenschildt worked in Yugoslavia under the "ICA" the International Cooperation Administration.The Yugoslavian Government accused DeMohrenschildt of making sketches and drawings of several Yugoslavian military fortifications .At this point it becomes crystal clear that George DeMohrenschildt is some type of Intelligence agent or informant.This makes the second time in a short few years that DeMohrenschildt was caught taking pictures and making sketches of military instillations.After leaving Yugoslavia DeMohrenschildt returns to Texas the Dallas /Fort Worth area .In 1958 DeMohrenschildt meets Miss Jeanne Le Gon and after a short courtship the couple is married in Dallas Texas .In the later part of 1958 DeMohrenschildt along with his newest bride returns to Yugoslavia to develop a drilling venture using Yugoslavian labor for Mr. John Mecom of the Cardwell Tool Corp.After returning to the United States in 1959 DeMohrenschildt visits the Dominican Embassy in Washington D.C.to discuss a oil drilling project .By 1960 DeMohrenschildt is working for the Texans Eastern Corp.and is sent to Mexico City Mexico were he almost has a chance encounter with Anastas Mikoyan of the Soviet Union.But after reconsidering and worried that the Texan Easten Corp.might refuse to do further work with him he and wife Jeanne decide she should go and meet the Russian leader which she does and tells Mikoyan he should come to Texas and the DeMohrenschildt's would prepair him a home cooked Russian dinner .In the early 60's Anastas Mikoyan was the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet .Under Nikita Khrushchev, Mikoyan was the second most powerful man in the Soviet Union .There is speculation that indeed DeMohrenschildt did meet with Anastas Mikoyan .After returning to Texas in late 1960 DeMohrenschildt's son Sergei DeMohrenschildt dies from cystic fibrosis. DeMohrenschildt after the tragic loss of his son becomes the chairman of the Cystic Fibrosis fund of Dallas Texas.He then becomes the founder of The National Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with his old friend Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy as the honorary chairwomen.At this point DeMohrenschildt in deep grief over the death of his only son makes plans with wife Jeanne for a walking tour of Mexico along the old trails of the the Spaniards as they went through Mexico during the days of the Conquistadors.If looked at carefully this appears to be a cover story for DeMohrenschildt to travel through many countries and collecting pictures and any pertinet information along the way .
DeMohrenschildt started collecting information on routes of the Spaniards in Mexico and all throughout Central America, and possibly all the way to South America. So DeMohrenschildt and wife set out from a ranch on the border of Mexico and the United States. The ranch is owned by a friend of the DeMohrenschildt's. Tito and Conchita Harper of Piadras Negras a little Mexican town opposit the bordertown Eagle Pass Texas.The trip lasted over eight months and covered over 4,000 miles .Went through Guatemala, San Salvador ,Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and ended at the Panama Canal .
DeMohrenschildt and wife tramped through the jungles of South America fully armed with a pistol and shot gun .They used a large mule to carry there personal belongings and the photo and camera equipment that they used along there route ,which they kept coverd with large rags on the mules back when not in use so the natives and people they came across wouldn't realize that they were taking pictures of almost everything they came across.Once agian we have
DeMohrenschildt taking pictures and making sketchs of different things in different countries .

Part Two

By Tommy Wilkens

.In early 1962 after returning from his 4000 mile walking trip DeMohrenshieldt was off agian to set up a project to review mining resources in the country of Haiti .By the summer of 1962 he had returned to Lousiana by way of the Lykes Line shipping Company. DeMohrenshieldt then began doing geology consulting work in Dallas Texas . At this point DeMohrenshieldt and wife Jeanne had settled into the Dallas/Ft. Worth area .By 1950 an avalanche of displaced persons from Europe came to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area . Well over half a hundred people had come from various parts of the former Russian Empire.They were not all Russian but some were Estonians,Lithuanians,Poles,Georgians,Armenians .This group was known as the Dallas White Rissian Community. These people came together in an effort to help others who had just come from Europe and who had difficulty with the English language and to help them become useful members of the community and become self-sufficient .And George DeMohrenshieldt became a peripheral member of this group .Another member was Peter Gregory a native of Siberia . A Russian speeking petrolem engineer who taught a free class of the Russian lanuage at the Fort Worth Public Library .It was here at the library that Peter Gregory was approached by a young man by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald .Oswald had asked Gregory for a letter of recomendation conserning his abilty to speek the Russian language .After learning a bit about Oswald and his time in Russia and his Russian born wife Marina Nikolaevna Oswald .Gregory invited Oswald and his wife to attend a party at his home on Saturday, August 25, 1962 were they could meet several members of the White Russian Community .Attending this party was George Alexandraovitch Bouhe the leader of the Dallas White Russian Community .It was George Bouhe who told George DeMohrenshieldt about the young man by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald who had defected to the Soviet Union and had returned with a young Russian bride and was now looking for friendship in Dallas's White Russian Community .DeMohrenshieldt immediately took an interest in Oswald and his wife .Within several days DeMohrenshieldt and his very close friend Colonel Lawrence Orlov a retired Air Force colonel payed the Oswald's a visit at there rented home at 2703 Mercedes Street Fort Worth,Texas .DeMohrenshieldt took such an interest in the Oswalds he invited them to several more dinner parties and assited Marina with recieving dental work at Baylor University Dental Clinic were young up and coming dentistry students did dental work for low income individuals for free or at a very reduced rate. DeMohrenshieldt even tried to help Lee Oswald find employment through several friends of his in the White Russian Community and other associates.After several visits DeMohrenshieldt found that Marina was being abused and intervened and helped Marina move first to the home of Mrs Anna Meller,then for a very short stay with Anna Ray and Katya Ford. DeMohrenshieldt doing some background checking on his new friend Lee Harvey Oswald asked associate Max Clark a local Dallas attorney to check him out.Clark informed DeMohrenshieldt Oswalds seems to be no threat . Max Clark was also donating money to help Marina Oswald while DeMohrenschildt got Lee his next job in Dallas. He found one at the graphics house of Jagger-Chiles-Stovall, which held classified military contracts. DeMohrenshieldt had contacted J.Walton Moore for some background information on his new friend Lee Harvey Oswald .Seems very strange that an everyday citizen busness man like George DeMohrenshieldt was suppose to have been , would go to the local C.I.A. offices in Dallas for information on a new aquitence of his.Its actually almost unbelievable unless DeMohrenshieldt had some ties to the intelligence community .
In 1963 J. Walton Moore was employed by the Central Intelligence Agency in Dallas, Tex., in the Domestic Contacts Division. According to Moore's CIA personnel file, he was assigned to the Domestic Contacts Division in 1948. Moore's duties in the Dallas office were contacting individuals in the area who had information on foreign countries and foreign topics. It has been reported that Moore had suggested that DeMohrenshieldt strike up an acquaintance with Oswald .Of course in later years both men denied this .It seems at this point that DeMohrenschildt is setting something into motion .After many private visites with Oswald it seems the guiding forces are setting up and being put into place.Oswald is rejecting all the White Russian Community members.His only friend now is George DeMohrenshieldt .Even George Bouhe who testified before the Warren Commission said almost all the members of the Dallas White Russian Community felt something wasn't right with the Oswald's and they didn't want them at anymore of there gatherings.Bouhe said in his testimony before the Warren Commission that several of the White Russian Community had said that they felt Marina Oswald might be some type of a superagent of some orginization .The former Russians thought it was almost incredible that Lee Harvey Oswald and Marina Nikolaevna Oswald had left Russia with such ease.All said it normally took years and years and years if ever to be permitted to leave the Soviet Union .One group member even said that his wifes mother had passed away and it took several years before they were even contacted and told of her death .This easy exit of Lee Oswald and his wife from the Soviet Union stuck out like a sore thumb .And all the White Russian Community in Dallas knew it .On one of the many visits to the Oswald home Marina Oswald shows Jeanne DeMohrenshieldt a hidden rifle with a scope on it in the Oswalds closet .Jeanne calles out to George and says ,"look George Lee has a rifle" and this was just several days after a shot had been fired at Major General Edwin "Ted" Walker . Walker had become a lightning rod for anti-communist controversy .Walker was known to have distributed right-wing literature from the John Birch Society to the soldiers of his division. In 1959 Major General Walker was sent to Germany to command the 24th Infantry Division. Later he became involved in controversy when he initiated an anti-communist indoctrination program for troops .Shortly after this incident Walker was relieved of his command but continued to be very outspoken and traveled the United States giving anti-communist speechs .It was during this period April 1963 that someone had made an attemp on Walkers life by shooting through a window at Walker's home with a high powered rifle .After this incident on one of his many visits with the Oswald's DeMohrenschildt asked Lee Oswald had he in fact taken a potshot at Major General Walker .One has to wonder if this incident wasn't a prelude to something bigger that was being set up and put into motion .On February 22,1963 the DeMohrenschildt's attend a dinner party at the home of Everett Glover . Everett Glover was a chemist at Magnolia Laboratories and Standard Oil of New York Research Laboratories.The DeMohrenschildt's bring the Oswald's to this gathering and also in attendence is Mrs Ruth Hyde Paine .Several members of the White Russian Communty had mentioned that once Ruth Paine set eyes on Marina Oswald they got the feeling that it was something more than just a casual frindeship and some even suspected a romatic look about it .As of today there are released documents showing that Ruth Paine's sister worked for the CIA, and her father was an informant for the C.I.A.. By July 1963 Ruth Paine invites Marina to live with her separately from her husband Lee Oswald .Its Ruth Paine who gets Lee Oswald his final job at The Texas School Book Depository .The DeMohrenschildt's during this same period took the Oswalds to a dinner party at the home of
Adm. Chester Bruton.There has been speculation that Adm. Bruton had close ties to the ONI "Office Of Navel Intelligence" .
On June 2nd 1963 the DeMohrenschildt's moved to Haiti, where he and several other investors had set up an industrial development enterprise whose work was to include conducting a geological survey of Haiti to plot out oil and geological resources on the island .DeMohrenschildt had worked out a contract with the Haitian Government, which guaranteed that he would be paid $285,000 for the survey $20,000 was paid in cash and the remainder was to be paid out in a 10-year concession on a sisal plantation .DeMohrenschildt associate
Clemard Joseph Charles a Haitian banker did the administrative work on the sisal plantation while DeMohrenschildt pursued his geological work. With this move the DeMohrenschildt's would never see the Oswald's agian .According to State Department documents, DeMohrenschildt stated that the undertaking in
Haiti was a purely commercial and geological interest, with no other "purpose or intent. DeMohrenschildt explained that the office he used in
Port-au-Prince was in fact the office of the Inter-American Geodetic Survey, but that the maps and studies he developed were not to be used by any nation or group for any other type of work other than his own geological interests.
Once agian State Department documents show in the spring of 1963 Clemard Joseph Charles the Haitian banker through whom George DeMohrenschildt was negotiating his Haitian contracts had phoned Dorothe Matlack of the office of the Army Chief of Staff for Intelligence . The purpose of the call was to arrange a meeting between Charles and an Agency representative .
Dorothe Matlack who testified before the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1979 stated that she served as Assistant Director of the Office of Intelligence of the Army until her retirement in 1974. Matlack's main job functions included gathering "human source collection of intelligence" and involved serving in a liaison capacity with the Central Intelligence Agency.
Mrs. Matlack arranged the meeting with Clemard Joseph Charles to take place in downtown Washington D.C. .Knowing of Charles' relationship to President Duvalier of Haiti and Haiti's strategic position relative to Fidel Castro's Island country of Cuba Mrs. Matlack arranged for Tony Czaikowski of
the CIA, who was introduced to Charles as a professor from Georgetown University. Dorothe Matlack described Charles as "frantic and frightened" during the meeting. Charles urged Mrs. Matlack to get the U.S. Marines to invade Haiti and overthrow Devalier.Mrs. Matlack said George and Jeanne DeMohrenschildt accompanied Charles to this meeting and that their presence was a "total surprise" to her. She did not know what role DeMohrenschildt was serving, but felt he "dominated" Clemard Joseph Charles in some way. Mrs. Matlack said that despite the explanation of Charles and DeMohrenschildt the two were in the jute business together, Although later before the House Select Committee on Assassinations Dorothe Matlack would say she didn't honestly believe that was the reason for their presence together at the meeting.Referring to George DeMohrenschildt, Mrs. Matlack said, "I knew the Texan wasn't there to sell hemp." Later Mrs. Matlack said she was so disturbed by DeMohrenschildt at the meeting that she discussed it with the FBI liaison, Pat Putnam. Mrs.Matlack said she never heard what action, if any, was taken by the FBI about DeMohrenschildt.


Part Three

By Tommy Wilkens

On November 22nd 1963 George DeMohrenshieldt and his wife were driving from a reception at the Syrian Embassy where they had just heard the news of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The DeMohrenshieldt's were driving to the house of a friend who worked at the American Embassy . They were listening to a radio in the house of an employee of the Embassy in Port au Prince, mentioned was the the name of the presumable assassin was something Lee, and he said, "Could it be Lee Oswald ?
George and Jeanne DeMohrenshieldt are now gripped with fear .Privately the DeMohrenshieldt's knew that they had both seen the rifle with the scope in the Oswald's closet and they both knew that they had even mentioned the General Walker incident with Lee Oswald .DeMohrenshieldt knows how many private conversations he's had with Lee Oswald and about what , no one will ever know. Even being in another country DeMohrenshieldt must have had the horriable realization that he was going to be sucked into one of the most horrible events in the United States history .George and Jeanne DeMohrenshieldt return to there private living quarters and decided they should contact the authorities in the United States and offer any assistance that they could offer being that they had known the accused assissin Lee Harvey Oswald .Once the local Haitian Government had found out that the DeMohrenshieldt's had known the accused assissin of Americas new young President things became somewhat untrustful and DeMohrenshieldtis is now worried his exclusive contract with the Haitian Government might be in jeopardy .Although the DeMohrenshieldt's stay and live in total obscurity in Haiti for the next ten years .In the United States President Lyndon Johnson appoints a commission of hand picked public servents to collect all the facts on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.This group will come to be known as The Warren Commission .One of the first individuals called before the Commission is Marina Oswald the former wife of the accused assissin Lee Harvey Oswald .It's Marina's testimony of her husbands friendship with George DeMohrenshieldt that brings the Warren Commission to call DeMohrenshieldt back from Haiti to testifie in March of 1964 .Once DeMohrenshieldt has testified before the Warren Commission he returns to Haiti and lives in seclusion and gives no more interviews until he returns to the United States in 1977 .It is during this period that DeMohrenshieldt begins to feel that he is being tied to the Kennedy assassination and he writes a personal letter to the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) George H.W. Bush .Records show that Bush sent DeMohrenshieldt a replie letter and spoke to him as if he knew him almost as a friend .Even went as far as to call him by his first name "George" The letter dated September 28th 1976 with the Central Intelligence Agency heading said this .Dear George. Please forgive the delay in my replie to your September 5th letter. It took time to explore thoroughly the matters you raised .Let me say first that I know it must have been difficult for you to seek my help in the situation outlined in your letter .I believe I can appreciate your state of mind in view of your daughters tragic death a few years ago and the current poor state of your wifes health.I was extremely sorry to hear of these circumstances .In your situation, I can well imagine how you discribed in your letter have effected you and your wife. However my staff has been unable to find any indication of interest on your activities on the part of the Federal Authorities in recent years .The flurry of interest that attended your testimoney before the Warren Commisson has long since subsided .I can only speculate that you may have become "newsworthy" agian in the view of the renewed interest in the Kenndey assassination and,thus,may be attracting the people of the media.I hope this letter has been of some comfort for you ,George ,although I relize I am unable to answer your question compleatly.Thank you for your good wishs on my new job.As you can imagine, I am finding it interesting and challenging..Very truely yours...George H.W. Bush
Director of the C.I.A..It just seems somewhat odd that such a personal letter would be sent from the director of the C.I.A to a person who claims to have never had a thing to do with this agencey .This letter seems to prove that George DeMohrenschildt did in fact have some kind of ties to the C.I.A..
Also in the spring of 1967 records show that DeMohrenschildt made contact with Aristotle Onassis and informed the Greek shipping tycoon that he had something of great importance to tell him .He asked Onassis for plane fair to Paris France for a personal meeting. It was said that Onassis refused to see him and had even said he didn't want to be within ten thousand miles of George DeMohrenschildt .
In May 1978 the House Select Committee on Assassinations received information that a stockbroder in Palm beach, Fla., had known George DeMohrenschildt in Haiti. The information came from Jack Cogswell of Palm Beach Fla..An associate of Cogswell's Joseph Dryer who was a stockbroker with Loeb & Rhodes & Co. in Palm Beach Fla.had offered information about George DeMohrenschildt . Joseph Dryer said he knew DeMohrenschildt in Haiti, DeMohrenschildt's
behavior was "strange" and included following people in his car. Dryer
said that DeMohrenschildt was associated with a man named Clemard Joseph Charles who was the president of a bank in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Dryer stated that he was told by Clemard Joseph Charles that a large amount of money had been placed in DeMohrenschildt's account in Charles' bank just before De Mohrenschildt left Haiti in 1967.
Joseph Dryer was interviewed by the House Select Committee on Assassinations in Palm Beach on July 6,1978. At that time, Dryer said that in the early 1950's he became involved in a program sponsored by the U.S. Government to develop a subsitiute for Jute. Dryer explained that the Government's interest was in helping Caribbean and Latin American countries develop their own jute producing capacity and thereby saving millions in the import of the product from other areas of the world. In connection with that program, Dryer set up a jute subidiary operation in Cuba, the North Atlantic Fiber Corp. Dryer said that in 1958,Francois Duvalier, the President of Haiti, sent an emissary to Cuba to discuss the prospects for a jute enterprise in Haiti; Dryer said the emissary was Clemard Joseph Charles. Dryer reported additionally that Charles was involved in the mid-1960's in a deal with President Lyndon Johnson to buy jets in Texas. According to Dryer, the deal did not go through, but he said Clemard Joseph Charles may have
had a successful deal for the sale of gunboats. Dryer said Charles had
"many connections" with the Central Intelligence Agency, and Dryer believed the
Agency may once have "planted" a spy on Clemard Joseph Charles.
Dryer said he met George DeMohrenschildt through Clemard Joseph Charles.Dryer said that DeMohrenschildt claimed he came to Haiti to scout for oil, but Dryer
stated that "I could never figure out what he did." Dryer expressed the firm
belief that DeMohrenschildt had "some intelligence connection," of some kind . But Dryer did not know with which country DeMohrenschildt had his intelligence connection . Dryer went on to say that, himself and Clemard Joseph Charles and DeMohrenschildt were associated with a woman named Jacqueline Lancelot who owned a well-known restaurant in Petionville, Haiti. Dryer said the restaurant was often frequented by many American intelligence personnel from the American Embassy and other foreigners .Jacqueline Lancelot had contact with the American intelligence operatives and passed them information about the Duvalier government.Dryer's relationship with Jacqueline Lancelot included passing messages for her to people in the United States whom Dryer assumed were connected in some way to the CIA .Dryer said one of those contacts was a person who worked for French intelligence and cooperated with the CIA .In 1978, the person lived in the Southern part of the United States.
Dryer said in the interview that Jacqueline Lancelot told him shortly after the
Kennedy assassination that a "substantial" sum of money, $200,000 or $250,000,
had been deposited in George DeMohrenschildt's bank account in Port-au-Prince. According to Jacqueline Lancelot, it was not deposited in Clemard Joseph Charles's Banque Commerciale of Port-au-Prince,Jacqueline Lancelot said
although she did not know to whom the money was payed out to ,she did know that George DeMohrenschildt left Haiti soon after.
According to Dryer, Jacqueline Lancelot told to him that President
Duvalier had once implied that the American President (John F.Kennedy) might not remain in office .Jacqueline Lancelot reportedly said that during a speech to Haitian troops in a port city, Duvalier allegedly said that "The Big Man in the White House wasn't going to be there much longer." Jacqueline Lancelot did tell Dryer that she was not sure if that statement was made by President Duvalier before or after President Kennedy's assassination.
During the interview with the House Select Committee on Assassinations investigator, Dryer was asked if he were familiar with the names of a number of people who may have had some connection or association with
George DeMohrenschildt. Of the names, Dryer was given he said he recognized Dorothe Matlack and William Avery Hyde. He remembered Dorothe Matlack as
one of the people Clemard Joseph Charles asked Dryer to contact for him in the United States. Dryer could not remember in what connection William Avery Hyde's name had been used by DeMohrenschildt .The possible association between George DeMohrenschildt and William Avery Hyde may have some significance because Hyde is the father of Ruth Hyde Paine,The woman with whom Marina Oswald was living at the time of the assassination.The same Ruth Hyde Paine that documents showed that her sister was an employee of the C.I.A and whos father was also known to be a C.I.A informant .



Part Four



Headlines New York Post "KEY JFK WITNESS KILLS HIMSELF." March 31, 1977 Palm Beach Florida .It was this headline that Americans would see and wonder if one more key witness to the events surrounding John F. Kennedy's assassination might have just slipped away from us all .In reality George DeMohrenshieldt was most likely the key individual that could have possible opened the door of silence that had been closed so tightly within hours of the actual assassination .It was George DeMohrenshieldt who had befriended Lee Oswald in those months that led up to the most shocking event in modern time .Only DeMohrenshieldt knew the true mind set of Lee Oswald .One must wonder was DeMohrenshieldt just a part of a cabal that had been put into place by some rough elements of some intellegence agency or maybe a small group of shadowy oil barons or the unthinkable a small group of Americas own political leaders .Had this cabal been so finely tuned that no one could ever be held responsible for those horrable few moments in Dealy Plaza .Or at least not beyond Lee Harvey Oswald and George DeMohrenshieldt .Had these two souls been the sacrificial lambs in the plot to kill John F.Kennedy ?
It was a crisp March morning in 1977 in Manalapan, Florida .George DeMohrenshieldt had risen early that final day of his life .He had taken a early morning walk along the beach front there at 1780 South Ocean Shore Boulevard .In his thoughts we are left to only speculate .No one will ever know what demonds had haunted DeMohrenshieldt for all those years since that faitfull day in November of 1963 .One thing we do know though is DeMohrenshieldt was to meet with a writer by the name of Edward Epstein at the Breakers Hotel, in Palm Beach Florida .Epstein was writing an artical for Reader's Digest Magizine .It was to be a four day interview and DeMohrenshieldt
was to be payed $1000 per day plus the use of a Hertz rental car .DeMohrenshieldt had arrived in West Palm Beach,Florida, on the evening of March, 16 1977 He had come to Florida by way of a Grey Hound bus from New York City .DeMohrenshieldt had just returned from a supposed business trip to Belgium .Although some very strange circumstances surrounded the Belgium trip, Just two weeks before he had turned up at the Tilton home in Florida, De Mohrenschildt had literally "vanished" from the Hotel Metropole in Brussels. He left in such hast he left his luggage, raincoat and pipe behind in his room just minutes before he had been scheduled to meet with a Soviet diplomat. After he was reported missing in Belgium, he had reportedly flown from London to New York.DeMohrenshieldt then left for Florida by way of a Grey Hound bus.Upon arriving at the Grey Hound bus station he was met by Mrs.Nancy Tilton and Miss Katherine Loomis of Mexico City. DeMohrenshieldt's only baggage was a green attache case and a few articles of clothing. He was taken to C.E. Tilton III and Nancy Tilton's ocean-side home .At the time C.E. Tilton was visiting at the Tiltons other home in Arizona .This ocean-side home by any standards would be considered a mansion . Appon arriving DeMohrenshieldt is reunited with his daughter, Alexandra DeMohrenshieldt also of Mexico City .Its Alexandras ex husband Gary Taylor who told the Warren Commission that he firmly believed that if there was assitance or plotters in the assassination of President John F.Kennedy it was in his opion that most likely the DeMohrenschildt's were involved. These last few days of George DeMohrenshieldt's life were spent with liesure walks on the beach and reading . And one can only imagine the deep dark horrible secrets that must have filled DeMohrenshieldt's mind constantly reminding him that he could never reveal anything to anyone ,only for him to bare alone .
DeMohrenshieldt left for the Breakers Hotel and met with Epstein and his research assistant, Nancy Lanoue .For several hours DeMohrenshieldt told of his early years and the battles his family had fought to escape from the Russian empire .DeMohrenshieldt spoke of his friendship with Lee Harvey Oswald and his deep fears after realizing Oswald had most likely taken that potshot at General Edwin Walker and then in later years finding in some old pictures that had been placed in storage the famous backyard photo showing Lee Harvey Oswald with the rifle with scope and the pistol strapped to his side and on the back signed to Geoege DeMohrenshieldt from his friend Lee Oswald .It was at this moment DeMohrenshieldt said he felt ruined for life .It was now around the mid day point and the three decided to break for lunch. They had agreed to meet again at 3 p.m..This meeting would never take place .Once DeMohrenshieldt arrives back at the Tilton home he is informed that Mr.Gaeton Fonzi a top investigator for the House Select Committee on Assassinations had come to visit with Mr.DeMohrenshieldt and had left his identification card and that he would be returning that very afternoon to interview him. Upon recieving this card and being informed of this DeMohrenshieldt was visibly shaken when he learned that Fonzi was going to return and interview him .
No one will ever know what really happened after Geoege DeMohrenshieldt returned to Nancy Tilton's ocean side home and heard the news of an investigator from the House Select Committee on Assassinations had come calling .Had the deep dark secrets that had haunted DeMohrenshieldt for all those years were finally going to be brought to the surface or was the possible cabal he might have been involved with all those years ago finally feeling he was to close to possible revealing the truths of who was really behind the assassination of John F. Kennedy .
What we do know is at about two thirty in the afternoon of March 29th 1977 George DeMohrenshieldt was found by his daughter Alexandra in the upstairs hallway of the Tilton home sitting in a high backed chair with a massive double barrel .20-gauge shotgun wound to the head . Shot gun at his feet, massive amounts of blood dripping from his mouth .George DeMohrenshieldt was dead at the age of 65 .
To most this final ending of this very mysteries man might seem like a simple suicide , case closed .But like almost everything that George DeMohrenshieldt was ever involved with there were some very strange circumstances surrounding his death .On the afternoon of the 29th of March Mrs. Tilton had left the house around the noon hour and went to play cards with several ladie friends of hers in Palm Beach .So she was not in the house when the death occured . Before she left to go to Palm Beach she had left instructions with Anna Vilsola her domestic helper to place her cassette tape recorder near the television in her bedroom and record two of her favorite day time Soap Operas, so that when she returned she could listen to the tape recording and be able to follow the story line.
Miss Lillian Romanic who was the live in cook for the Tilton home who resided in a small bedroom off the main floor kitchen .Along with Coley Wimbley the live-in grounds keeper who resided in a small apartment in the detached garage from the main house .
Mrs. Viisola had said the day of the death she did not see or hear
anything suspicious or out of the ordinary. She did not see any
strangers in or around the residence and did not have reason to
suspect that someone had entered the house without her knowing it .She said she never heard a shotgun blast .Coley Wimbley who worked watering flowers around the main house also said he heard no shot gun blast .The Tilton home is equipted with a security alarm system for all doors and windows .If any door or window is opened there is an audible beep which is heard throughout the house.
Dianne and Laurie Tisdale were working in an apartment above the garage at the Tilton residence, at the time of the incident.They were fixing the
apartment up so that Laurie Tisdale could move into it .Neither of them stated that they heard a shot gun blast or were suspicious that anything strange or unusual had occurred in the main house.So at this point there are four people either in the Tilton home or very near by the main house on the grounds ,and no one hears a double barrel .20-gauge shot gun blast in the upsatirs hallway .
Alexandra DeMohrenschieldt and Katherine Loomis went shopping in Boynton Beach .When they returned home they entered the house by the rear kitchen door and inquired of Anna Viisola where her father was. Anna Viisola had last seen George DeMohrenshieldt upstairs. Miss DeMohrenschieldt walked to the second floor, entered her father's bedroom and placed the bag on a dresser. She then looked to her left and saw her father bent over in the hallway chair with a pool of blood and shotgun at his feet. She screamed and alerted the household to what had happened.Patrolman Don McBride of the Manalapan Police Department was the first law enforcment officer on the scene.Patrolman McBride after a search of DeMohrenschildt's pockets he had found a newspaper article from the March 20, 1977 edition of the Dallas Morning News, which indicated that George DeMohrenshieldt may possibly have been involved in or have knowledge of some type of conspiracy in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy .Upon listening to the tape recording that was made to record the Soap Operas its been reported that you hear a beep which indicated that the door had been opened , then you hear what sounds like footsteps and then a very loud shotgun blast sound .For some reason this was never investigated or persued by the local Law inforcment investigators .
This examination of George DeMohrenschieldt's life and death gives us but a small glimps of a man who few of us ever knew or even ever heard of .Norman Mailer said in his book that George DeMohrenschieldt was an eclecticism that made him delight in presenting himself as right wing but also left wing a moralist but also an immoralist an aristocrat an a nihilist a bohemian but also a socialte an intimate of oil tycoons a Republican but a Kennedy lover a snob and an athheist plus a quonduan nazi apoligist once a year .When one looks at this it’s shows that George DeMohrenschieldt lived a double life and fit the mold of a covert operative of some kind. His life was played out in the shadows .Always one step ahead .No one will ever know what he did or didn't do .No one will ever know who he worked for.No one will ever know what his influince was .At this point it seems no one will ever know how he really died . He was friends with rich and famous people ,even Presidents , but yet also friends with the most lowly of souls.He was most likely our last chance to know what really happened in Dealy Plaza in November of 1963 .

This is a very strange anti-Semitic site with a few interesting anecdotes about
the JFK murder and a whole lot of Michael Piper styled Jewish scapegoating...

http://christianparty.net/kennedy.htm

Just shows you how history can be molded or changed to suit one's biases and perspectives...

...or one's preconceived notions.

Pierre Fraisse of Shumaker Company was the Google hit involved here...

Notes on Georgie boy found on the web... with elaborations and some deletions...

1. Identified by his wife as being a "Nazi spy" in America. (Worked for Anastase A. Vonsiatky - world vojhd of all "White Russian" spies and saboteurs with headquarters in Harbin, Manchuria. Vonsiatsky was THE Manchurian Candidate in the Condon novel. And Oswald was their "favorite programmed assassin" which is the reason he was chosen as the "perfect patsy" or the "perfect alternative shooter". Whether he fired a shot or not, whether he hit JFK or not, whether he was hypnotized or controlled when he was in the Texas Book Depository or not, just his mere presence in Dallas as a trained former MK/ULTRA assassin, invoked the most "paranoid" of all possible massive cover-ups from every segment of US intelligence agencies and even the US stupidity agencies, too.

2. Befriended Lee Harvey Oswald. Most likely because George was "Oswald's handler" and "Mind Controller" using ManCand training from "Annie" Vonsiatsky. Attended the same ROCOR church where Vonsiatsky got married in New York city and apparently went to the same Sushi restaurants in Harbin, Manchuoko, frequented by Anastease Vonsiatsky who was George's mentor and leader. Often bought Vonsiatsky Borscht, Sushi and a pitcher of "White Russians" to go for their Saturday night War Story Nights with the Boys from Berlin in Harbin. (just kidding) Would sing the Horst Wessel song together until they were hoarse and totally drunk. Gambled frequently with the worthless Czarist Ruble Notes they had both accumulated as if they were going to be invaluable some day. (just cutesy speculation)

3.Employee of Pantepec Oil, owned by the Buckley family. William Buckley, a close friend of CIA man E. Howard Hunt who was both Godfather to Hunt's children and a college classmate of both "THE Manchurian Candidate" from Manchuria, Anastase Vonsiatsky and "head of the American Nazi Party" George Lincoln Rockwell at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Buckley founded the Young Americans for Freedom and later worked with Rockwell on The American Mercury which was mentioned at The Winnipeg Airport Incident. The owner of the American Mercury was Clendenin J. Ryan, who often sponsored both Ulius Amoss' and Carleton Coon's espionage adventures. Robert Emmett Johnson, who has been identified as one of JFK's shooters, was one of their prize pupils and they passed him on to Ray S. Cline who was in the novel The Manchurian Candidate by Richard Condon along with Buckley, Morris, Oliver and Vonsiatsky himself. A member and political sponsor of YAF was Senator John Tower, a hard line anti-communist, who signed all the waivers to allow Lee Harvey and Marina Oswald to return to America, despite Oswald's "defection." After the Buckley family Mexican oil interests of Pantepec Oil had been nationalized an infamous threesome rode in John J. Pershing's cavalry after Pancho Villa into New Mexico: James "Hugh" Angleton the father of James "Jesus" Ferguson err... rather James "Jesus" Angleton whose mother was Mexican, George "Otis" Draper [G.O.D], Wickliffe Draper's uncle, and none other than a young Charles Willoughby himself. This was the start of a long-standing relationship between the American Military and American business leaders who had their properties nationalized by upstart nations headed by decidedly non-WASP leadership. Brig. Gen. Smedley Butler, "War is a Racket" organized many comparable expeditions until he finally figured it all out and wrote a tell-all manuscript which I personally introduced to the internet community in the 1990's. Later Butler was asked to become the "Man on the White Horse" after a planned FDR coup in the 1930's by American business leaders, which was documented in "The Plot to Seize the White House" which was written by Jules Archer. The design and leadership of this plot had close parallels
to the JFK plots in the late 1950's and the 1960's.

Oswald's passage was "expedited" and aided and abetted by Otto F. Otepka, a rabid former McCarhtyite, and head of the State Department's Office of Security and a close friend of Sarah McClendon who later penetrated C.O.P.A. completely unknown to the leadership of that organization. McClendon was very tight with Willoughby, Hargis, Rorke and Edward "Brainwashing" Hunter who has penetrated the minds of most JFK researchers unknown to them. The concept of Oswald actually being assisted by a rabid McCarthyite in the U.S. Passport office, who would later be "fired" by JFK for leaking classified documents to Congress related to the approval/disapproval of the Walt Whitman Rostow nomination, a favorite of JFK. See: "The Strange Ordeal of Otto Otepka" by Richard Gill which was made into a movie short starring Robert J. Morris and J. Strom Thurmond from The Manchurian Candidate. When this Otepka story was first related to me, it was described in very sinister tones as if "The U.S. Government" had assisted Oswald in getting back into the USA, knowing that Oswald was going to kill JFK, when in fact it was the sinister work of McCarthyites and MacArthurites and Condon's Dirty Dozen, whom I do not consider to ever have been part of my "U.S. Government". Do you consider Morris, Willoughby, Buckley, Cline, Angleton, Otepka, Thurmond, Fellers, Oliver, etc. to be part of your "U.S. Government"? I bet most of you would which shows your true allegiances are to McCarthyites and MacArthurites and pro-Nazis and Fascists and certainly NOT to a Democracy.


4. Affiliated with the Howard Hughes organization. Another person affiliated with Howard Hughes was Robert Maheu, who was a security man for H. L. Hunt as well.
The Hughes role in the JFK hit if any, has never been proven to my satisfaction. Supported Herbert Hoover in their mutual desire to regain their lost family oil fields and the millions of dollars taken by the "Rooskies."

5. Friend of Clint Murchinson in Dallas. Murchinson was connected to Genovese crime family, (like umbilical cord connected, well connected... get it? or otherwise connected) the alleged financier of the American Nazi party of George Lincoln Rockwell (what is the source for this?), a friend of J. Edgar Hoover. Murchison was extremely anti-Kennedy. (Who wasn't in Texas?)

6. Friend of William Grace. Grace's son. J. Peter, worked with former Nazi spymaster Reinhard Gehlen, who was involved in many anti-Communist crusades. (Gee anti-Communist Nazis, what a total and complete surprise! About as rare as anti-Nazi Jews, too. About as rare as a Jew working for a Nazi at The Liberty Lobby! Seriously though, the only real rarity was maybe a Black Klansman or a "liberal" member of The John Birch Society.) Once won an award from the Pope for his donations toward arch-Catholic anti-Communism. One friend of J. Peter was Frederick Flick (involved with I.G. Farben), whose legal representative was Carl Byvoir, who also represented the Howard Hughes organization.

7. de Mohrenschildt's family managed Nobel Oil (Branobel Oil) in Baku, whose legal representative was John McCloy. McCloy was a consultant to I.G. Farben and was on the Warren Commission as well. Both McCloy and Gen. William F. Draper, Jr. opposed the de-Nazification of of Germany according to Christopher Simpson in Splendid Blond Beast.

8. Employee of Humble Oil, run by Prescott Bush, who allegedly had dealings with I.G. Farben and Union Bank. Anything for a buck maybe?

9. de Mohrenschildt's cousin, the Baron Constantine Maydell, worked for the Abwehr under Reinhard Gehlen. (Gee a White Russian Nazi working for a Nazi . More Nazi spies than you can shake a stick at.)

10. Introduced Oswald to Michael and Ruth Paine who were Dallas John Birchers and pro-Nazis first and foremost who had CIA connections as well. Paines had to know leaders of Dallas John Birch Society including those in Condon's Dirty Dozen, Robert Morris, Edwin Walker and Charles Willoughby although this fact has been either lost in the shuffle or deliberately overlooked in favor of less documented possible CIA connections. Michael Paine worked at Bell Aviation under Walter Dornberger, a former Nazi rocket scientist who came to this country during Operation Paperclip. Ruth Paine got Oswald the job at the book depository. (Wow at $3 per hour. She must have had some pull.)

11. Member of the Dallas Council On World Affairs and The Crusade For A Free Europe. Other members include George Bush, Clint Murchinson, H.L. Hunt, and Abraham Zapruder, and Byrd, the owner of the Texas School Book Depository who got Oswald a front row window seat for the entire JFK parade.

12. Married Jeanne LeGon, the former business partner of Abraham Zapruder. (I don't put much credence in the significance of this one.)

13. Worked closely with many of Richard Condon's Dirty Dozen from Manchurian Candidate including immigration lawyers, The Coudert Brothers in New York City who ran the "White Russian" Nazi Rat Lines from Paris to North America. They also promoted "The Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion" with Boris Brasol and Adrian Arcand, and with Robert J. Morris of the Rapp-Coudert Committee, later McCarthyism, seeking to pillory or assassinate communist affiliated schoolteachers. Frederic Rene Coudert also ran William F. Buckley's mayoralty campaign in 1965.

Or perhaps de Mohrenschildt's upcoming Auto-Biography "I'M A NAZI! I'M A NAZI!" Ha! Ha! Ha! Jokes on you!

George de Mohrenschildt, who reported to the word vojhd or head of the White Russian National Fascist Organization, Anastase Vonsiatsky, also believed that Oswald was "led" by others. Later De Mohrenschildt was to go so far as to say he felt "responsible" for Oswald's behavior. Given the fact that a little Jackie Bouvier Kennedy used to bounce on George's knee as a child and call him "uncle George" one can readily assume that he was most likely mortified and conflicted by the fact that his association with Oswald resulted in such pain and sorrow for Jackie Kennedy. I know I have heard of more bizarre and even
conspiratorial explanations for this innocent almost familial relationship as if George somehow disliked the Bouviers or Kennedy but I find them lacking in any substance whatsoever.

"Let's face it. I only made up the story [about Lee Harvey Oswald]because everybody makes a million dollars off the Kennedy assassination, and I haven't made anything. So now it's my time. "

—George de Mohrenschildt, quoted

by Willem Oltmans

That grotesque confession should be sufficient to discredit the man who made it, a Russian-born teacher and friend of Lee Harvey Oswald's named George de Mohrenschildt. But nothing ever seems sufficient to still Kennedy assassination stories; time and events merely complicate them. Last week—only an hour after a congressional investigator asked to meet with him in Manalapan, Fla. —De Mohrenschildt apparently committed suicide, by putting a 20-gauge shotgun in his mouth and pulling the trigger. Suddenly there was intense interest in what he might have told the investigator. Sure enough, within 48 hours, a world-traveling Dutch TV newsman, Willem Oltmans, showed up to reveal to a closed session of the House Select Committee on Assassinations—plus ABC, NBC and CBS—what De Mohrenschildt had been telling him during the several years of their acquaintance.

Oltmans' testimony—given under oath—was sensational stuff. De Mohrenschildt, said Oltmans, claimed he had been the middleman in a conspiracy of rich Texas oilmen, headed by the late H.L. Hunt, and anti-Castro Cubans to kill Kennedy. Oswald was one gunman, but supposedly several Cubans were also assigned to shoot the President. One could even be identified. Oltmans provided the committee with a picture of a Cuban whom he said fired shots at Kennedy. But apart from the dramatic backdrop provided by De Mohrenschildt's suicide, the story was just another series of rumors that could not be corroborated.

At the time of the Kennedy assassination, De Mohrenschildt was an oil geologist employed by the U.S. State Department in Haiti. He had known Oswald for a year (they were members of a Russian-speaking group in Dallas), and he told the Warren Commission in 1964 that he knew nothing of Oswald's role in the Kennedy killing. But during a series of meetings with Oltmans beginning in 1966, De Mohrenschildt began to remember things differently By 1975, during an interview with Oltmans on Dutch television, he insisted that Oswald was led by others. Oltmans told colleagues, "De Mohrenschildt knows a lot more than he is willing to say right now." Later De Mohrenschildt was to go so far as to say he felt "responsible" for Oswald's behavior.

In February of this year, De Mohrenschildt told Oltmans he was ready to disclose more but only outside the U.S. —he feared for his life in America. By now De Mohrenschildt seemed depressed. He had been hospitalized as a psychiatric patient for two months at the end of last year, and he had twice attempted suicide. Said Patrick Russell, his Dallas attorney: "He began to have bizarre hallucinations and distortions. He believed people were following him."

According to Oltmans, De Mohrenschildt would vacillate between claiming his conspiracy tale was a hoax and asserting it was true. In addition to De Mohrenschildt's instability, doubts are thrown on his story by a review of Warren Commission testimony that shows De Mohrenschildt last saw Oswald six months before the assassination. "It is absolutely out of the question that De Mohrenschildt had anything to do with Kennedy's death," fumes Chicago Attorney Albert Jenner, who interviewed De Mohrenschildt for the Warren Commission. Adds Jenner of the House Assassination Committee's entire performance: "Utterly disgusting."

The committee members who heard Oltmans' testimony took a wait-and-see attitude. "I think he is telling the truth as he perceives it," said D.C. Delegate Walter Fauntroy. Oltmans himself cited an obviously disturbing aspect of his charges. Asked a tough question during a television interview, he replied, "Well, I'm quoting Mr. De Mohrenschildt, so that makes it very easy"—De Mohrenschildt being in no position to amend the record.

Oltmans' testimony was only the climax in a hectic week during which the House Select Committee on Assassinations barely escaped its own death by sacrificing its controversial counsel, Richard Sprague. The outspoken ex-district attorney from Philadelphia had angered too many Congressmen with his demands for a $ 13 million budget and a staff of 175 for the two-year investigation (TIME, Jan. 10).

Too Raw. With Sprague out of the way, the House was willing to vote 230 to 181 to continue the investigations on a reduced annual budget of $2.8 million. But Sprague's departure left the committee staff demoralized and committee members full of praise for their former counsel. Gushed Illinois Republican John Anderson: "He laid himself on the altar of sacrifice."

To date, no firm fruits of Sprague's early work have reached the public. Nevertheless, a rush of rumor, innuendo and unconfirmed leads has blared from the committee. The latest concerns a letter the FBI is investigating said to have been written by Oswald to a "Mr. Hunt" asking about "my position." It is dated 14 days before the Kennedy assassination. The committee's operation has outraged many Congressmen. Snarled Michigan's John Dingell: "They tell us they have persuasive evidence! What they have is a lot of crap!"

Even Richard Sprague hit a cautious note before resigning: "The only things that [the staff] can say of significance are things that are too raw and uncorroborated for us to be stating publicly."
