Steve Thomas Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Sometimes, I am kind of slow on the uptake, but over the last couple of days, I've begun to realize that in watching the Lee and Marina Show, I was watching the Cold War of the 1960's being played out right in front of me. The U.S. had a strategy of sending false “defectors” disguised as disaffected ex-military personnel to the U.S.S.R., who would gather information and later recant and return to the U.S. Oswald is sent over there and within a year starts making plans to return. For six weeks, from mid November, 1959 to the beginning of January, 1960 Oswald goes incommunicado. When he emerges, he is assigned new Soviet officials he has never seen before, and is sent off to Minsk. When he gets back, he sits down and writes his Collective http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/thecollective.htm. If I were a military planner, this Collective contains everything I would want to know about this particular factory. Its precise geographic location, how the streets are laid out, which buildings are located where, how many employees it has, which of those employees are Party members and which are not, how many of those employees are military, where they are housed and in what part of the factory they work, the name and physical description of the plant manager... it goes on. On his return, he portrays himself as a Marxist, but also tries to ingratiate himself into anti-Castro Cuban exile groups like the DRE and Alpha-66. He passes himself off as the leader of a fictional FPFC with no members who is a “street agitator”. The U.S.S.R. has its own “defection” program. Their method is to get Russian women to marry foreigners, get their husband to bring them back to the States and then divorce them. The White Russian community in Fort Worth were suspicious of the speed with which the Russians allowed Marina to emigrate. In reading through the Russian documents relating to Lee Oswald's stay in the Soviet Union, I realized that it wasn't the Russians blocking his return, it was the American State Department. (See almost all of volume XVIII of the WC Hearings and Exhibits. CE 985 is illuminating). Lee and Marina marry in April, 1961. On October 22, 1961 Lee Oswald writes to his to his mother, “We both agreeded (sic) that she should go to a new enviroment (sic) on her vaction (sic), but she comes back in a few more days on the 29th of October.” (CE 183 https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1133#relPageId=562&tab=page ) What newlyweds having been married for only six months, mutually agree that the wife should spend her only vacation in a different city 600 miles away? Within two months of her arrival, Marina is letting it be known that Oswald is “abusing” her, and that she needs to be “rescued”. I think she played George Bouhe like a song. He and George Demohrenschildt decide Marina needs to be “taken away” from Lee. They swoop in, gather up her belongings and cart her off to the Mellers. George DeMohreschildt WC testimony. This was in 1964. http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/demohr_g.htm Mr. De MOHRENSCHILDT. “Right from the very first day my wife told Marina, "You have to learn English, you have to be able to communicate, and especially since you do not get along with your husband and you are going to leave him some day--you have to be able to support your child and yourself. You have to learn English and start immediately on it. After having been in the United States for only two months or so, how and when had Marina communicated to Jeanne that she would be leaving Lee? On February 1, 1962 Marina writes her first letter to the Soviet Embassy telling them that she want to return to the U.S.S.R. She has been in the U.S. for seven months. Had she completed whatever mission she was on when she came here? In my heart of hearts, I think it's got something to do with that “missing” two weeks between October 19 and November 3, 1962, when nobody knew where Lee was living, all the while when he was working at Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis. This reminds me so much of those early weeks in Russia. To me, this is a microcosm of the Cold War played out between these two individuals right in front of me.

David, He also brought up the subject of microdots in a conversation with Dennis Ofstein, if I remember right, as well as how Russian battle formations are laid out. I was just wondering the other day if I should go back and look at those letters home again. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Josephs Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Paz... while so many rail against the evidence of there being both a Lee Oswald and Harvey Oswald, more and more and more the evidence points in that direction. Take a look at CE1961 next to Allen Felde's account of having been with Oswald... what is evidence is that 2 men's records were combined into 1 "Military cover backstop" so if the Russians checked up on the Oswald we sent them, it would check out... In 1947 and again on Nov 22, 1963, the house across the street from STRIPLING is where Harvey's mother lived... the house a friend of FRED KORTH owns.... you see, without John's years at the Archives making these copies as well as making them available free of charge... so many researchers would not have access to such important info...

Steve Thomas Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 David, I don't want to repeat your entire post, but compare his service record for the Spring of 1957 against this "autobiography" he supposedly wrote; especially the months of May-June. Do they match? https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10483#relPageId=479&tab=page I asked once where this "autobiography" came from, but no one replied. I've never really looked into the military record discrepancies that John Armstrong wrote about, but I wonder how he could be in California at the same time he's attending school in the southeastern U.S. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the Folsom Exhibit is info on LEE (including his teeth) The Title of his MOS is Aviation Electronics Oper (-ation?)(-ator?) yet he is NOT an Air Traffic Controller... his preference and recommendation is "Aircraft Maintenance and Repair" A Radar operator does not also fix the planes...

Is this the notebook that was lost or burned or had pages removed from it or whatever? David, Good catch on Moore and Adamcik. Thanks. Marina just happened to hold on to the BYP and the undated Walker note. Mr. McDONALD. What happened to that notebook? Mrs. PORTER. I don't know. Mr. McDONALD. Do you recall if Lee ever-- Mrs. PORTER. You mean now or then? Mr. McDONALD. Then, what happened then? Did Lee do anything to the notebook? Mrs. PORTER. Well, it is possibility that maybe it was destroyed. Mr. FITHIAN - Let's turn to the picture, the pictures, and the negatives which went along with them. You told the committee yesterday that you burned some of the evidence, some pictures, et cetera, after the assassination of President Kennedy; is that correct? Mrs. PORTER - Yes. Mr. McDONALD. And you were aware of this notebook that he kept. Mrs. PORTER. Well, I tried to recall in my memory how these things did happen, and by now maybe I assumed some things, so really I just know it as a fact that Lee did try to attempt on life of General Walker. He told me about that and that is the fact. Details of it, I do not remember. I don't want to mislead you different direction. Mr. McDONALD. But do you recall Lee ever burning the pages of this notebook in the bathroom? Mrs. PORTER. Well, afterwards, of course, I was petrified, you know, for what he did. I was afraid and--I was waiting for the police to knock on our door any minute, so I probably even myself would be eager to destroy any evidence that lead to arrest of Lee. Mr. McDONALD. Do you remember him destroying this notebook? Mrs. PORTER. I do not remember right now. Mr. FITHIAN - What other evidence or material did you destroy in your haste to try to get rid of evidence? Mrs. PORTER - As far as I know, only that, this picture. Mr. FITHIAN - In Lee's practice of writing a kind of a diary, did he keep letters from other people as a part of that sort of keeping a track or keeping a record of things? Mrs. PORTER - I don't know, sir. Mr. FITHIAN - What? Mrs. PORTER - I do not know. Mr. FITHIAN - Did you ever see any letters in his writing and material from others? Mrs. PORTER - I don't have a habit to go through, you know, somebody's belongings, so I don't remember everything, Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Josephs Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Nope... only kept 3 year old payment stubs for someone else... It's as if Marina didn't bother to see what of her husband's they took... y'know, just out of curiosity... the detail in those lists is amazing... yet the BYP and negatives were supposedly written down as "Misc photos and maps" - Stovall B - And kind of my point about the rifle carton... What better place to FREELY keep your rifle than in the carton it came in?... how else would he have gotten it home if, in that parallel universe, the rifle was shipped and waiting for him at the GPO. Mr. BELIN. And do you know in what kind of a container it would have been shipped? Mr. WALDMAN. It was customary for us to ship these rifles with scopes attached in a corrugated cardboard carton made for us by the Rudd Container Corporation of Chicago. Mr. BELIN. About how long would that carton be in size, if you know? Mr. WALDMAN. Approximately 60 inches. Edited March 2, 2018 by David Josephs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
