Steve Thomas Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Does anyone know when Oswald was first identified, or rumored to be a government informant? And I'm not talking about just post-assassination, but pre-assassination as well. And I'm not talking about just in government circles, but in cuban-exile circles as well. For example, a ship called the Violin I is launched on a commando raid against Cuba in late March, 1963. Their launch pad was going to be the Bahamas. Their leader was a guy named Jerry Buchanan. When they got there, the authorities were waiting. Buchanan was interviewed by his brother, James Buchanan, a reporter for the Pompano Beach Sun Sentinel, "Buchanan (Jerry) said. "_____ went So the boat, where it been there since Saturday morning waiting for us to come in. They knew all about us. "The police came out of the building and said, 'Is your name Buchanan?' They placed both of us under detention. The News-Herald from Mansfield, Ohio · April 3, 1963 Page 24 https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/45297639/ Buchanan knew he's been set up. Five days after the assassination, a man named Sanchez told James Buchanan that a man who used the name Oswald had tried to get aboard that boat and had been rebuffed by Jerry. see CD 1020 p. 13. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=11416#relPageId=15&tab=page Oswald had been seen at one of the cuban-exile training camps in the New Orleans area. In July. That camp was raided by the FBI and shut down. Was the name Oswald being circulated by the Cuban exiles as an informant for the government prior to JFK's assassination?

Pamela Brown Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I think Lee's Mother, Marguerite, made a statement to that effect when she wrote to the State Department while he was in the USSR. I'll look for a cite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Josephs Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Those who were a bit closer to the situation, as in down in New Orleans, feel it got its start with the OSWALD PROJECT in May 1963... Bringuier throwing a "fake punch"... George Steel Jr, another FBI asset helping him hand out the leaflets... time spent at 544 Camp... etc. The entire FPCC episode has to give him away as FPCC and 544 Camp are oxymoronic.... with so much intelligence around that one spot it's hard not to accept he was seen as an asset by early June.... As I see it... DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Thomas Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Carlos Bringuer was voicing those suspicions back in August. http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/bringuier.htm Mr. BRINGUIER. And you see, in August 24, 1962,... person from the FBI contacted me here in New Orleans--his name was Warren C. de Brueys. Mr. de Brueys was talking to me in the Thompson Cafeteria,... and he advised me and I quote, "We could infiltrate your organization and find out what you are doing here." After that, after my conversation with de Brueys, I always was waiting that maybe someone will come to infiltrate my organization from the FBI Mr. LIEBELER. To summarize your statement, when Oswald came to see you on August 5, (1963)---- Mr. BRINGUIER. That is right. Mr. LIEBELER. You were suspicious of him on two different counts? Mr. BRINGUIER. That is right. Mr. LIEBELER. One, that he might possibly have been an infiltrator working for the FBI? Mr. BRINGUIER. That is right. Mr. LIEBELER. And you were worried about this because of what Agent de Brueys had said to you---- Mr. BRINGUIER. A year ago. Mr. LIEBELER. Almost a year prior to that time? Mr. BRINGUIER. Yes, sir.

Pamela Brown Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I haven't tracked down an actual letter Marguerite wrote the State Dept yet, but here is an article that discusses her visit:http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg Subject Index Files/B Disk/Brussell Mae/Item 25.pdf Here is the relevant passage from that article: "His mother, Marguerite Oswald started the wheels rolling in January of 1961 when she went to the State Department in Washington. "She told many people there that her son was working for the U.S. government in the USSR and that she wanted him to come home," Miss Brussell said. (Three years later, before the Warren Commission, Mar- , guerite Oswald would tell investigators, "I have as much circumstantial evidence here that Lee was arragent for the • CIA as the Dallas Police have that he shot President Kennedy.") Mrs. Oswald's presence in Washington and her statements "blew Oswald's cover," Miss Brussell believes. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look for a cite... Marguerite was hoping beyond hope, but she never had proof. Here is something else she said: Mrs. OSWALD. ...But my children were never tied to my apron strings. And I can prove to you, in his defection in 1959, I made the statement that Lee, as an individual, had the right to think and do what he wanted to. They even said he was a Communist. If that is what he studied, and that is what he wanted to do, I accepted that, because that was his privilege as an individual...Mr. RANKIN. Are you telling the Commission that your son was part of a conspiracy to assassinate the President? Mrs. OSWALD. I am saying that I realize that my son could possibly be part -- yes -- I realize he is a human being and he could possibly be in this, yes, sir.

Jim Hargrove Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The information was that Lee Oswald was actually hired by the FBI; that he was assigned the undercover-agent number 179; that he was on the FBI payroll at two hundred dollars a month starting in September 1962 and that he was still on their payroll the day he was apprehended in the Texas Theater.... --Gerald Ford, Portrait of the Assassin, p. 14.

Steve - so you were aware he was an FBI informant? Since Bannister was trying to get FBI assets into Cuban groups... it would follow that his movement to New Orleans was the beginning of the Dallas Patsy set-up.... (WCD47 - out of the blue the FBI investigates ARTHUR VALLE and writes reports which say there is no connection between Vallee and Oswald... while a "nut Marine", VALLEE was not infiltrating and informing on groups.... I simply do not see how Oswald was not a FBI asset while in New Orleans.... (amazingly thru all this time and careful watching, the FBI does not mention a girlfriend or significant time away from Marina to be with some other woman.... unless someone here feels that Oswald was spying on JVB and Reilly coffee.... {smile} Why add the negation of a relationship no one suggested to begin with? https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10448#relPageId=2&tab=page 13 hours ago, Pamela Brown said: I haven't tracked down an actual letter Marguerite wrote the State Dept yet, but here is an article that discusses her visit:http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg Subject Index Files/B Disk/Brussell Mae/Item 25.pdf In that article it mentions CIA Doc 931 which = WCD 931 which is HELMS denying Oswald's involvement with anything U-2 while in Atsugi (so what was he doing there?)
