Dawn Meredith Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 This is kind of weird. First, Mark, it was not an article or a story he was writing. It was the book Legend. He had a whole crew of researchers, including Henry Hurt. The total budget was 750, 000 dollars. And Epstein was not unknowingly used. James Angleton was the consultant on the book. You can tell this by Epstein's spin on the Nosenko affair, which is total 100 per cent Angleton, and is wrong. Also, from my understanding the DA did more than just question him about the address book. Bludworth traced his phone calls and found out he was meddling around and playing mind games with the Baron. Finally, I am really surprised he told you he thought the CIA killed Kennedy. Because since the late 1960's when he turned on Garrison and the critics, he has, in public, been an Oswald did it guy. As can be seen by his appearance in Robert Stone's abominable Oswald's Ghost. I don't trust Epstein with anything on this case. Berendt is the guy who wrote the piece in Esquire about the guy form Philly who ended up in Dallas inexplicably on 11/22/63: Vaganov. Then, Epstein did an article for Esquire in 1968 which tried to ridicule all the critical community by reducing everything to some kind of 'angle", like the Nash Rambler angle, the Second Oswald angle etc. Instead of looking at the overall gestalt view of the case. I have always been of the school that Epstein may have been a plant from the start. Not sure if I already commented on this before or not but I concur with Jim D : A plant from the start.

Dawn Meredith Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 How much was Epstein in Angleton's employ? He once stated that Angleton was not really fooled by Philby. He actually was onto him and then Philby transmitted info to him once he defected. In other words, Philby was really a triple agent. (BTW, that Epstein wannabe Ron Rosenbaum actually echoed this idea in the eighties.) Epstein is a real piece of work. Wow, JIm check out today's Slate mag for Rosenbaum's latest disimfo trash on LHO.

John Dolva Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have always found the orchid story and the room full of mirrors and smoke fascinating. I think Angleton was a Genius. I think Angleton was at least a Sociopath. I would not be surprised if he was Psychotic on some level. These are not mutually exclusive traits but there is a trait to play mindgames. I think the allegories can be read as a revelation of his real thought on the assassination, a map of sorts or a guide to navigating the scape to arrive at the truth.

Dawn Meredith Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 By saying you don't believe that Oswald was a shooter at ex-General Walker, Jim, aren't you saying that Marina Oswald was a xxxx? But if so, I believe that is a shaky position. Best regards, --Paul Trejo Of course she lied. I thought everyone knew that. Paul I could not finish your post after I got to the part where LHO shot Walker. Everyone is welcome to his/her beliefs. LHO shot no-one. Dawn Dawn, if you're arguing from Jim Garrison's famous theory that on 22 November 1963 "Lee Oswald shot no one at all," that is, Lee shot neither Tippit nor Kennedy, then I'll counter by maintaining that Garrison omitted the 10 April 1963 shooting in that theory. (Oddly, Garrison had little to say about General Edwin Walker, and that's too bad). However, Dawn, if you're claiming that Lee Harvey Oswald was a pacifist, then I'll counter that Lee was an ex-Marine sharpshooter who kept his own firearms. Also, if you believe that Marina Oswald was lying, then you're challenged to explain how her story harmonized with George and Jeanne De Mohrenshildt's testimony to the Warren Commission, as well as Mrs. and Mrs. Igor Voshinin's account to Dick Russell, as well as Volkmar Schmidt's account to several journalists, as well as Michael and Ruth Paine's later anecdotes, and more. To discount so much testimony at once one must postulate a Grand Conspiracy in which all these people were players -- and that would be extremely challenging to prove. That much testimony is unlikely to be orchestrated. But I'll keep an open mind if you have evidence I haven't read yet. Best regards, --Paul Trejo <edit typos> How do we know that she was being properly translated? Pressure is a huge understatement. Her "testimony" reads like a bad Hollywood script. Which it was, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Trejo Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) How do we know that she [Marina] was being properly translated? Pressure is a huge understatement. Her "testimony" reads like a bad Hollywood script. Which it was, in my opinion. Dawn, although the English-as-a-Second-Language issue with regard to Marina Oswald's sworn testimony before the Warren Commission will always be interesting, it's not as though the Russian language is from outer space. If anybody wants to research her Russian language depositions, I believe they're readily available. Lots of Americans speak Russian, so it wouldn't be so hard to make a case. While poor English skill was certainly a problem for Marina -- who tried to teach herself English despite Lee Oswald's efforts to suppress her -- the more vital question, IMHO, is whether her negative stories about Lee remain plausible. Oswald was a wife-beater. We have police reports to that effect, as well as neighbors in Dallas who called the police on Lee. When Marina told the Warren Commission that Lee Harvey Oswald beat her -- this was not from some script that she was ordered to read. She told a truth that could be verified beyond the bruises on her body and face that would heal. Lee Oswald kept Marina in a closet, so to speak. He was interested in keeping Marina "barefoot and pregnant" as the saying goes. George De Mohrenschildt winced when he saw how Lee treated her. Lee hardly allowed her to say anything, for fear that people might consider her more interesting than him. This wasn't merely Marina's complaint -- George DM said the same thing. Here's the testimony: -------------------- Begin GDM testimony snippet 23 April 1964 ---------------------- . . . Mr. JENNER. You think Lee resented that, do you – that the interest was in Marina and not in Lee Oswald? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; definitely. Oh, that is an exceedingly important point, you know. Lee resented the interest that people would take in Marina. He wanted the interest concentrated on himself. Mr. JENNER. And did he exhibit that in your home and at other gatherings where you saw him? Did he interrupt so that the attention might be drawn to him and away from her? . . . Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. ...I do not remember any particular case, but I always took him and considered him as an egocentric person. I do not remember any particular incident, but I knew that he wanted the attention to himself, always. Not in any particular case, but always. And he would rather disregard what Marina would say. And this is possibly the reason for his not wanting to – for Marina to learn English, so she would stay completely in the background. . . . -------------------- End GDM testimony snippet 23 April 1964 ---------------------- So, it wasn't that Marina's testimony against her husband Lee was scripted by somebody else -- it was open and honest and other people who knew Lee also knew that he was boorish. Yes, he had a tender side, and was kind to his own children. But he could also be selfish and cruel. I have seen no hard evidence that causes me to doubt Marina Oswald's testimony.

Guest Tom Scully Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Paul, the first thing a visitor to this JFK Debate forum sees is your avatar, just to the right of the pinned thread titled, "Who Killed JFK?"

Do I have this right? You exempt yourself from posting statements unsupported by "hard evidence"? Compare your presentation in your last post (immediately above this one) to the presentations in the post at this link, http://educationforu...=15#entry271663 ...and to the post after it. Still you persist, posting counter to the factual record. .......

Paul Trejo Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Oswald was a wife-beater. We have police reports to that effect, as well as neighbors in Dallas who called the police on Lee. Where are these "reports"? Please provide the police reports that state Lee Oswald beat his wife. If you are going down the route of the Elsbeth complaints I'd prefer it you provide THE WHOLE STORY and not just the juicy bits that you think support your skewed characterisation of Lee Oswald. Tell everybody what happened once the complaint was made or do you not know so you are simply working from a place of complete ignorance? I know providing the WHOLE STORY that exists in the record is something you do not like doing, but for the sake of accuracy concerning the information on this forum, I want you to provide evidence for your absolutist statements regarding these police reports. I had a comment removed from one of my posts that was factual about you. Yet you think you can write complete and utter absurdities that are not backed up by the record unless you take the word of a proven xxxx along with the comments of her White Russian friends who are also proven liars. Where are the police reports? Lee, I'm surprised that you need to ask about these Dallas Police reports. They're more than 50 years old. It's surprising that you seem to have never seen them or even heard of them. You're kidding, right? Regards, --Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ecker Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I haven't read this whole thread, but since it's supposed to be about De Mohrenschildt's last day, I was struck by something I read in the JFK/Deep Politics Quarterly. It states that Bill O'Reilly in his book Killing Kennedy claims that he was on De Mohrenschildt's doorstep that day and actually heard the fatal shot. If he does claim this, I wonder if O'Reilly knows or cares that Gaeton Fonzi in his book The Last Investigation mentions that O'Reilly called him that day from Dallas, where O'Reilly worked as a reporter, to ask him if the rumor was true that De Mohrenschildt had committed suicide.

Bill O'Reilly: "The spin stops here!" I don't expect to find any cloak-and-dagger intrigue in the life of a journalist, Ron, and I would be surprised to find any in the life of Bill O'Reilly. What I would expect to find in the life of a journalist is exaggeration, hyperbole, sensationalism, and fantasy. Whatever sells. O'Reilly clearly had nothing to add of value in his recent book on the JFK assassination. He repeated the Lone Nut theory to a weary world, and then interposed himself at the scene-of-the-suicide of George De Mohrenschildt. What nonsense. Rarely do so many good trees die in vain to produce paper for such rubbish. O'Reilly has lost his appetite for the truth and has long since rationalized his appetite for lucre at any cost. He's pitiful to watch on TV, interrupting guests so much better informed than he is. But, hey, if they're dumb enough to appear on his program, then they get just what they deserve. I weep for American TV audiences. Best regards, --Paul Trejo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
