New Pseudonyms and Aliases Project at Mary Ferrell Foundation


Recommended Posts

To all - 

We have a new Pseudonyms and Aliases project underway at the Mary Ferrell Foundation.  

Come over and take a look.  There's a lot of good new leads there, with a lot more to come.

The same with the cryptonym page.

We are always looking for new submissions and suggestions.  Bill

It's very gratifying to see that RXZIM has been added to the cryptonym page.  Even though the listing seems to go to unusual lengths to suggest it may not be true....

.... it's real progress to at least acknowledge Mr. Wilcott's long-suppressed assertion.  One thing I'd like to add is that Mr. Wilcott several times referred to "Oswald or the Oswald Project."  Thank you for your efforts on this.  Most worthwhile.

The thing is, Wilcott is the only source of the hearsay information and even he wasn't sure. He testified under oath that he couldn't remember the crypt or who told him. Before the supportive audience at the Cuban Tribunal he repeated that the crypt was "something like" RX-ZIM "or a crypto of this kind with 2 consonants and 3 or 4 pronounceable letters."  So, Mary Ferrell is being very prudent when they call it speculative.

Tracy, if you please, don’t derail this thread. It has nothing to do with RXZIM or Wilcott. It’s not even about Cryptonyms. It actually a very cool opportunity to get in a very fun and interesting endeavor.

Michael,

Actually, I’m the one who brought up the RXZIM cryptonym for “Oswald.”  The Pseudonyms and Aliases list is closely related to the Cryptonym list.  In fact, there is a hyperlink to the Cryptonym list right on the Mary Ferrell page Bill Simpich pointed to in the OP.

Despite the obvious caution, it is real progress to get RXZIM on the list.  The current status will probably always exist.  My bet is that every reference everywhere to RXZIM began being scrubbed immediately after the assassination of JFK.

In his note above, Mr. Parnell didn’t mention that, from the HSCA’s own notes, it is obvious that Wilcott wasn’t allowed to fully testify under oath, and that Wilcott  had to agree “to not reveal specifics of specific questions.”

Everyone should note that we go to as much effort as possible citing the source documents and materials from which all the crypts, pseudo's and aliases are developed.  That allows everyone to make their own call as to how reliable they are;  some are extremely well corroborated but of course others may be single sourced, making them speculative.  The whole idea is for everyone to be able to see the sources behind the listings.  In many cases we have a number of back and forth debates in reviews before taking something live and continue to make modifications, even with the crypts.....its a work in progress and one that requires a huge amount of pure slogging in the documents.   The good news is that we can now understand some sets of documents far better than we could even a few years ago.

Bart, thank you very much.

From above AMCORE link
