One of the most important memos rarely see is this memo Redlich writes to Rankin... He basically lays out how the WCR will be a scam and that the FBI and SS "facts" are TOTALLY INCORRECT... As of April 27th... 3 shot = 3 hits with one of the shots 40 feet further down ELM than is shown at Z313... I should add that the facts which we now have in our possession, submitted to us in separate reports from the FBI and Secret Service, are totally incorrect and, if left uncorrected, will present a completely misleading picture. Another amazing sentence: Our intention is not to establish the point with complete accuracy, but merely to substantiate the hypothesis which underlies the conclusions that Oswald was the sole assassin The entire memo: April 27, 1964 MEMORANDUM TO: J. Lee Rankin FROM: Norman Redlich The purpose of this memorandum is to explain the reasons why certain members of the staff feel that it is important to take certain on-site photographs in connection with the location of the approximate points at which the three bullets struck the occupants of the Presidential limousine. Our report presumably will state that the President was hit by the first bullet, Governor Connally by the second, and the President by the third and fatal bullet. The report will also conclude that the bullets were fired by one person located in the sixth floor southeast corner window of the TSBD building. As our investigation now stands, however, we have not shown that these events could possibly have occurred in the manner suggested above. All we have is a reasonable hypothesis which appears to be supported by the medical testimony but which has not been checked out against the physical facts at the scene of the assassination. Our examination of the Zapruder films shows that the fatal third shot struck the President at a point which we can locate with reasonable accuracy on the ground. We can do this because we know the exact frame (no. 313) in the film at which the third shot hit the President and we know the location of the photographer. By lining up fixed objects in the movie frame where this shot occurs we feel that we have determined the approximate location of this shot. This can be verified by a photo of the same spot from the point where Zapruder was standing. We have the testimony of Governor and Mrs. Connally that the Governor was hit with the second bullet at a point which we probably cannot fix with precision. We feel we have established, however, with the help of medical testimony, that the shot which hit the Governor did not come after frame 240 on the Zapruder film. The governor feels that it came around 230, which is certainly consistent with our observations of the film and with the doctor's testimony. Since the President was shot at frame 313, this would leave a time of at least 4 seconds between the two shots, certainly ample for even an inexperienced marksman. Prior to our last viewing of the films with Governor Connally we had assumed that the President was hit while he was concealed behind the sign which occurs between frames 215-225. We have expert testimony to the effect that a skilled marksman would require a minimum 2 seconds between shots with this rifle. Since the camera operates at 18 1/3 frames per second, there would have to be a minimum of 40 frames between shots. It is apparent, therefore, that if Governor Connally was even as late as frame 240, the President would have to have been hit no later than frame 190 and probably even earlier. We have not yet examined the assassination scene to determine whether the assassin in fact could have shot the President prior to frame 190. We could locate the position on the ground which corresponds to this frame and it would then be our intent to establish by photography that the assassin would have fired the first shot at the President prior to this point. Our intention is not to establish the point with complete accuracy, but merely to substantiate the hypothesis which underlies the conclusions that Oswald was the sole assassin. I had always assumed that our final report would be accompanied by a surveyor's diagram which would indicate the approximate location of the three shots. We certainly cannot prepare such a diagram without establishing that we are describing an occurrence which is physically possible. Our failure to do this will, in my opinion, place this Report in jeopardy since it is a certainty that others will examine the Zapruder films and raise the same questions which have been raised by our examination of the films. If we do not attempt to answer these observable facts, others may answer them with facts which challenge our most basic assumptions, or with fanciful theories based on our unwillingness to test our assumptions by the investigatory methods available to us. I should add that the facts which we now have in our possession, submitted to us in separate reports from the FBI and Secret Service, are totally incorrect and, if left uncorrected, will present a completely misleading picture. It may well be that this project should be undertaken by the FBI and Secret Service with our assistance instead of being done as a staff project. The important thing is that the project be undertaken expeditiously. The FACTS in their possession: The 3 surveys to this point (Time/Life, SS and FBI) all state Z313 is shot #2 with #3 at elevation 416.83 down by the beginning of the Knoll stairs. With the help of Melvin Eisenberg in the month of May 1964... CE884 is changed and the 3rd shot on these surveys is made to disappear in the final presentation. Redlich was either trying to save the conspiracy, or trying to expose it... There is literally nothing I could find to follow up this memo other than the wholesale changing of the FACTS in their possession.

Since I am of the conclusion Oswald did not go to MX at all in Sept/Oct 1963... any and all evidence of said travel must be fabricated for OSWALD from either real evidence for someone else or from thin air. This means the "car" story is also part of the plan for Phase 1: Oswald the conspirator... and never happened. So let's look at some of the evidence suggesting he took a car.... and/or was driven. ================ When we understand he was in Dallas at Odio and then at the shooting range that weekend, you can begin to see what the FBI did. Yet initially they were given info via the I&NS thru Hosty to Hoover on Oct 18th.... Lee HARVEY again... We will see down below how different info goes to different people at diff times... "At 2:05 pm, 11/27/63, while talking to Inspector Don Moore of Division 5 .... . I read to him an article from The Houston Press, dated 11/27/63, which was telephonically furnished to this office ..... in which article stated Oswald left the US by private car, ownership unknown, and returned on 10/3/63, through Laredo, Texas. He advised that Oswald did travel by car and did return to the US through Laredo, Texas on 10/3/63." (FBI memorandum from ASAS J.T. Sylvester, Jr., to SAC New Orleans, 11/27/63.) The FBI finds the initial evidence points to Oswald having traveled by car. Yet then proceeds to take the next 8 months proving he took a bus. The story of the BRILL's results... and again the "car" theory is not corroborated..... So is the car story simply that? The CIA - D A Phillips - creating a circumstance where conspiracy MUST be considered seriously... now we can see how ALVARADO and his $6500 red-headed negro fits.... He is driven down to MX to get paid to kill JFK to then escape thru Cuba to Russia - pure PHASE 1 He cannot be driven down since he was a Lone Nut unconnected to anyone - conspiracy car becomes Lone bus - pure Phase 2. The evidence of Oswald taking a car into and out of Mexico is just as poor as the subsequently invented evidence of the FBI and their Gobernacion asset(s). It is impossible to proceed unless there is awareness of both the CIA and FBI assets entrenched within the Mexican Government from which the desired "scenario" could be developed.... We start with the manner in which the State Dept gets their info for the following telegram.... In Warren Commission Document 442 we find a telegram from Mexico City to Sec of State Rusk stating the records show on October 3, 1963 a Lee HENRY Oswald left Mexico by Automobile. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10876&relPageId=9 NONE, I repeat none of the evidence has the name HENRY... (see bottom image) so why would MANN use it? One last bit of intrigue is the statement that “the IMMIGRATION RECORDS show entry into Mexico of one Lee HENRY Oswald” when there is not a single piece of I&NS evidence that substitutes HENRY for HARVEY as either his middle or in the case of Mr. H.O. LEE, his first name. In fact the 3x5 cards from which this information originates, which in turn came from the FM-11 coming from the FM-8 visa all says HARVEY (images and links earlier in this document) while the exit information refers to Harvey Oswald LEE. The FM11 is the source for the information given to Tijerina to type up for Harvey CASH of the US consulate at Nuevo Laredo. It is also proven that the FBI asset who provided this document "added notes and details to aid clarity" #99 is Harvey Oswald Lee... who will be listed and alphabetized under "O" as opposed to "L" - his traveling last name... On page 23 of CE2121, after the name Buell Moore and before Maurice Ouellet we have “HARVEY OSWALD LEE, FM-8 #24085”. Except according to the Mexican officials, they believed the passenger’s name from the visa was Lee, Harvey Oswald which becomes “H.O. Lee” on his departing documents. LEE comes well before MOORE. In fact, Mr. LEE should have been #800 before Mr. Mason. One has to wonder who in Mexico would have known this passenger to be Mr. OSWALD when preparing this list as opposed to Mr. LEE as stated by his travel documents. The CIA, by 7pm on 11/23 had received info from US Consulate at NUEVO LAREDO (Harvey CASH)... yet what CASH tells the CIA is not the same as what he tells I&NS... I&NS in turn relays info to FBI SA Hosty.... CIA and the STATE dept are initially pushing the Oswald-Castro conspiracy while FBI and I&NS are being misled by these two... The CIA's Nov 23rd note about the car travel COMES from CASH yet stays within the CIA/STATE partnership. Despite all the evidence showing HARVEY... Amb MANN still sends that note I posted above (NOT using STATE Dept Channels??) as I felt, the STATE dept would help the CIA with the CASTRO PLANNED IT charade... and then enter Alvarado on the 26th to tell his "Oswald gets money" story. The theory I am putting forth is that all records related to Oswald going to and coming from Mexico City are part of a 2-phase (PD Scott) plan to first "suggest" a Cuban conspiracy thru the evidence, remind people of Oswald in Mexico talking to KOSTIKOV (which of course he never did) and begin letting out created evidence which backs the story... when that effectively stops inquiry and the idea of a conspiracy is simply too much for LBJ to shoulder... the LNers come out of the woodwork... In the afternoon of the 22nd, within hours of the assassination, "Presidential staff" arrived at all 4 bus lines in MX and took the pertinent records for the 26th/27th and the 2nd/3rd ONLY. They even went as far as to get the copies of these records from the different border towns as well... Arturo BOSCH's changes to the Frontera manifest to get Oswald onto an Oct 2nd 2pm bus is a great example... when the travel could not get him to agree with the established FACTS, they changed it so it would. Problem being that the "car to MX" story has just as many problems as the "bus to MX". Unless the idea was to covertly get Oswald into Mexico to stage the Sept 27th events... That STILL does not account for the calls/transcripts from the 28th, 1st, or 3rd.

Paul is correct... Oswald was not on the bus offered up as evidence... changed 2 and 3 and 4 times to finally match the timetable. The Australian girls repeated tell us they are on Del Norte buses... The Flecha Rojas bus manifest from Monterrey to Mexico City only lists those passengers who got on in Monterrey. Below left is from Nuevo Laredo to Monterrey... 2pm depart... it's almost 4 hours to Monterrey yet the Flecha Rojas bus leaving Monterrey departs at 3:30pm... only 90 mins later Flecha Rojas = Continental Busline del Norte = Greyhound.... one rarely bounces back and forth between buslines on a simple trip like this... del Norte leaves Monterrey at 7:30pm This report... dated May 11, 1964, is well after the changes to the evidence had occurred yet still sticks with Flecha Rojas for Oswald... The AUSSIE girls stick to their claim of del Norte travel... and the FBI simply LOVES the testimony of RUIZ... who willingly places Oswald wherever his superiors tell him... cause y'know it would be "inimical" to his best interests (of not disappearing into a DFS prison maybe?) Miss MUMFORD. Well, we traveled by bus on a scheme which allowed us to travel on Trailways buses for a period of 3 months for a certain amount. We just got on and off at various places we wanted to see: For instance, Washington, D.C.; Miami, where we stayed a week; then we went across to New Orleans, down through Texas to Laredo, and from Laredo we crossed the border also by bus and went to Monterrey. We spent one day in Monterrey and left by bus at 7:30 p.m. at Monterrey, and it was on that bus that we met Lee Harvey Oswald. Miss MUMFORD. Well, the ticket we had on this deal enabled us only to travel in the States, not in Mexico. So, we bought the ticket on the bus at Laredo and that enabled us to stop off in Monterrey. But the ticket was from Laredo to Mexico City. Mr. BALL. And from what company did you buy the ticket? Miss MUMFORD. As far as I can remember, it was a bus company called Transporter del Norte. Mr. BALL. Now, you got on the bus at Monterrey on the evening of September 26 at 7:30 p.m., you just told me? Miss MUMFORD. Yes. Mr. BALL. And what was the company that operated that bus, do you know? Miss MUMFORD. That was also Transporter del Norte.

The Evidence has been and will always be the Conspiracy... it can’t point to anything else....

Andrej... A question... When does Lovelady in Hughes, as the limo turns into Elm in full color top left... And in Altgens at z255... Get way over to the right with PM seen in the background? And none of that jives with where Wesley says theses men are... ? ??

Hi Andrej... Not altered... Misrepresented. Move a shorter man forward a couple inches and he is now 5'9".... Having a 13" head is not possible.... People simply don't work that way.... Noticeably taller?

We are to remember that the evidence which FIRST was associated with this trip from Mexico City to Laredo comes from the Arturo Bosch altered FRONTERA passenger manifest. Eventually, when it was decided that our man Oswald was NOT on the FRONTERA 340 bus at 2pm, it was dropped like a hot potato. Yet thru March/April 1964 it was believed that this evidence was accurate. WCD 684 p2-CE2122 even though the rest of CE2122 is dedicated to explaining away the conflicting evidence for what is seen on this manifest. There is no mention of ARTURO BOSCH or his handiwork in this Exhibit.

The "superiors" he is referring to..... Part 5, page 3 The Trip Home Seat #15 on the other hand was specifically mentioned by Mr. Ruiz Meza who we find later is a footnote source in the WCR for Oswald having taken the Laredo-Dallas bus. CE2121 p78 is more from ANASTASIO RUIZ MEZA who claimed to have seen Oswald on the bus. Mr. RUIZ it turns out is employed in the Auditor’s Office of the Customs section of the Mexican government (CE2121 p73) and just happens to be on the same bus as our traveler needs to be – even though like our traveler, his name is not listed on the passenger manifest but instead names the agency from which the ticket was purchased.. https://kennedysandking.com/content/mexico-city-part-5-leaving-mexico-part-2 Page 2 is the list.... Paula Rusioni, Van Dee Vorm. Interesting stories...... That little paper is the end of trip home Jim mentions... From the end of part 4: As mentioned above, in late August 1964 Marina finds the corroborating evidence for Del Norte bus ticket #13688. WCD 1518 p34 (below) discusses the details of what would ultimately become FBI D-237. ... You can't make this stuff up.....

I'll ask John... I think that was the point... Wasn't supposed to be available to the public... Yet my gut tells me it's not the original. Its shut so you can't confirm or deny its the original or the one used to take the photos... From what I remember of those conversations... DJ

Cemented shut was how he put it.... it was much heavier than the Minox he owns.... as if filled with cement. No, it could not be pried open.... The III, yes... the image I posted comes from his CD...

And here he goes again.... I am going to take the time to show you one of thousands of lies Marina was caught telling... and it just so happens to be about Mexico... Shut your hole and read with comprehension - you CAN do that can you? Marina initially (Nov 28/29) tells the truth about what she knows of MEXICO CITY... but then time passes.... Prior to her WCR testimony Marina took her oath..... to tell the truth, one assumes. The CHAIRMAN. Very well.Very well, we will proceed to swear Mrs. Oswald as a witness.Will you please rise, Mrs. Oswald.(The Chairman administered the oath to the witness, Mrs. Oswald, through the interpreter.)The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Reporter, will you rise, please, and be sworn. ========================== But that's in February 1964.... this is what she says in Nov 1963.... https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh23/html/WH_Vol23_0210b.htm is a link to a report summarizing the FBI interview at Six Flags in Dallas of Marina on Nov 29, 1963. On pages 549 and 550 we are told that Marina was asked about Mexico City and Oswald. "Mrs. Oswald said that she did not know anything about any trip OSWALD may have made to Mexico City." And the SS interview Nov 29th: “She was asked whether she had any knowledge of Lee's trips to Mexico or Washington, D.C. She replied in the negative. She was asked whether she or Lee had any cameras and she replied that Lee bought one camera in Russia and a second one in the United States . She said one was a small camera and the other was a box camera. She added that she was not proficient with operating any Cameras and she never had an opportunity to do so.” WCR testimony: Mrs. OSWALD. Nothing. And it is at that time that I wrote a letter to Mrs. Paine telling her that Lee was out of work, and they invited me to come and stay with her. And when I left her, I knew that Lee would go to Mexico City. But, of course, I didn't tell Mrs. Paine about it. Mr. RANKIN. Had he discussed with you the idea of going to Mexico City? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Mr. RANKIN. When did he first discuss that? Mrs. OSWALD. I think it was in August. HSCA testimony: Mr. McDONALD - When did you first learn of his planned trip to Mexico City? When did you first know about that? Mrs. PORTER - Shortly before I left for Dallas with Ruth Paine. Mr. McDONALD - How did you learn of this? Mrs. PORTER - He told me about his plans to go to Mexico City and to visit the Cuban Embassy over there. ….. Mr. RANKIN When your husband talked about going to Mexico City, did he say where he was going to go there, who he would visit? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. He said that he would go to the Soviet Embassy and to the Cuban Embassy and would do everything he could in order to get to Cuba. ================================ Marina lied her butt off about Mexico... in fact, SHE was the WCR source for Oswald taking a bus to Houston... 2 days AFTER she had already left with Ruth... How would she know WHAT Oswald did while she was driving to Irving? Once again Paul.... you state conclusions as if you first - understood them and second - as if you could point to the work that enabled you to come to such monumental conclusions... Here it is again Paul: Using absolutes like EVER and ANYTHING does not imply "opinions" Paul.... only facts that you continually misrepresent and will forever be beyond your reach. Hey Do a little research BEFORE you post and maybe you wont continue to look so - lost.

Blow it out your $$$ Paul.... The complete garbage they allow you to post here day after day is bad enough... but when you attack someone who runs circles around you in every possible way - enough is enough. Here he is ladies and gentlemen - the blind man insulting the sun for being too bright.... In all my travels I've never seen someone so self-satisfied at being wrong at every opportunity as you... You wear ignorance and shallowness like a badge of honor Paul... and you drag down the entire Forum with every attempt at those soapbox serenades which invariably begins with... "In my opinion....." followed by regurgitated garbage and a couple tautologies you claim as evidence. I see your name on a thread and I shy away... you intellectually pollute these threads Paul... Now I'm sure you cannot be stopped from posting simply due to the kindergarten level of your analysis and the complete lack of substantiation... and you probably can't be stopped because of your need to repeatedly insult your betters..... ....you might consider this play on the old adage: Better to be thought a fool and keep quiet than to repeatedly post on this forum and effectively remove all doubt.

So Minox cameras are standard issue for Corporals - are they? Especially the ones with serial numbers NOT to be sold to the public... A model "III" was produced from 1951 thru 1953 with serial numbers 31275 thru 58499. (p169 H&L)

A couple hundred items were taken to DC... Over 450 are returned.... many not taken from DPD but added in after - they do not have the initials of the DPD taking the photos. The film of the evidence was also mostly ruined and blamed on the DPD... https://statick2k-5f2f.kxcdn.com/images/pdf/JosephsBYP.pdf - I get in pretty deep with what happened in that garage and at the Paine's... They repeatedly refer to this box in the residence which had a camera and other photographic equipment... claimed to be the Paine's. No mention is ever made of Minox other than in Hill's statement I posted earlier...

To help frame Oswald of course.... For a lowly day worker making the bare minimum... his assortment of camera equipment is quite impressive... Where did he do his developing work? I don't remember ever reading about a "dark room" set-up for Ozzie.... Just curious if anyone knows

Companies nested in others... Feldsott did a lot of this... and the George Rose Co seemed to be a holding company over all of it.... Much more importantly, the Banking and Weapons from Montreal and the intersection with Permindex shows a global organization we’d expect.... This is the Military Industrial Complex in full glory.... By 1961 we had out produced the need... so create the need... Textron buys Bell and many others in defense... this was a textiles conglomerate that manipulated the US industry... buying a helicopter company losing $100 million the previous year.... The law firms feed the banks which arranges the financing to manufacture the weapons that Congress approves... McCloy and Gilpatrick both come from Cravath, Swaine and Moore. While the CFR stocks the deck... Thats over 50 years ago... how entrenched are they now?

Empire wholesale bought and sold a MC #2766 without a prefix.... in June 1962 Confirming the pistol the DPD says was used on Tippit came from Montreal.... but was not the pistol Carroll gave to Hill. Another tiny detail.... REA never collected its COD charges.... minor I know, yet the $1.27 was never collected cause the rifle was never shipped to REA in the normal way.... there are literally 3 items of evidence for the pistol... Michaelis exhibits.... a very interesting person to say the least.

Disagree Jim... Hill took a Minox camera... It was listed in inventory a number of times I have and read that article... There was also undeveloped film.... The FBI claiming they didn't get it is b.s. as usual. Or did I misunderstand? Listed below, 1 Minox camera, check.

Sun Life is in Montreal. Sun Life is part of the Rothschild, Morgan, Rockefeller financial empire which includes Prudential and Hancock insurance companies. Sun Life and the 1st Bank of Boston owners arrange a loan thru an insurance company... Prudential, for 25 million dollars with a 6 year grace period on repayment to buy a company $100M in the red in 1960...... Bell Helicopter... The CIA's general and brother of the mayor of Dallas is called in to consult.... Will the US be using many helicopters in its SE Asia campaigns? Is Bell a good purchase? The Viet Nam conflict generated billion$$ for Bell over the next 15 years... Montreal remained a hub which saw the meeting of mafia, finance, and Intel which did more harm tho this country from a point closer to the US than Cuba... Follow the money

If I remember correctly.... George Smathers, a JFK groomsman, was the source of financial aid and protector of one Judy V Baker while she was in FL at University.. As she tells it at least.... 6 degrees of separation....

Plus the serial number for his was not part of a batch of cameras sold retail.... And John Armstrong told me the one at the archives was filled with cement... Heavy and stuck shut. There are many references to the Minox camera in all the alphabetical notebooks at the Dallas archive Fwiw

Something else I remembered about Oswald, Dallas and Sept 28th and why I see him in the Dallas area until Oct 4th Xxx, Earlier in the thread you asked about LC Smith. I believe you are correct. He is the policeman (deputy sheriff) puffing on a cigarette. He is later seen in the car lot (Hughes and Murray) with the man in the black hat. This, I believe is McCurley. The man to Smith's right in the sports coat should be Slack. Garland Slack was involved with the Sports Drome shooting range. Xxx (Note: If found this file as a word doc and felt it brings full circle the account of September 28th) The photo is Altgens 5 looking down Houston.... Libeler: The Commission had information to the effect that sometime during November 1963, you saw a gentleman at the rifle range whom you subsequently came to believe was LEE HARVEY OSWALD? Price: That's right. The first time I saw this person was in September, the last week, the last Saturday of September, and that was the afternoon they opened the rifle range. Libeler: On the last Saturday of September? That would be Saturday, September 28, 1963? Price: Yes. So between Odio and Price and Slack.... He was in Dallas.

I knew I wrote about this.... https://books.google.com/books?id=j7iN57YRRBIC&pg=PA244&lpg=PA244&dq=2+different+201+files+cia+agee&source=bl&ots=sn726JZzN8&sig=dvs-VUXC7PyzxI7ms_PrdndKr2Q&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiYnfymt9LXAhWJilQKHbk8DSsQ6AEITzAK#v=onepage&q=2 different 201 files cia agee&f=false Tommy Agee tells us that 201 files have 2 parts... The public and the secret... Angleton created false 201 files.... Egerter helped him... FWIW

This one is VERY interesting...
