So, the question is whether Groden himself highlighted the paragraphs in yellow or whether he copied the document from a prior source where it was already highlighted in yellow.

Really? Larry thinks my title of this thread is incorrect and totally misleading. My title is "1964 Memorandum from John McCone, Director, CIA Re: Oswald." Here is the first sentence of the CIA Director's Memorandum: "In response to the request from your office on 24 February 1964 re: Lee Oswald's activities and assignments on behalf of this agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, there follows a narrative summary of the internal subversive activities of the subject Oswald." How is my title of this thread incorrect and totally misleading? You can confer with Larry in drafting your reply.

Here is the Facebook link to Shepherd's original posting and the reply by Mueller with the document. It is all together on this one link. (15) Facebook

I do not accept your advice since you admit you don't know how Facebook works and thus cannot even use the links I provided to read the document that Mueller cited in his reply to Shepherd's original posting.

It would be helpful to clear up this matter if you were to post "the work at the National Archives which showed it to be a fake."

No, the CIA Director's Memorandum is in the replies to Shepherd's original posting on Facebook. I have provided the links to see this to Mervyn but he now states he does not know how this works on Facebook.

Cory's source is a strange one, Take a look. If you this it is credible on the issue of CIA's Director's Memorandum, then embrace what it says and dismiss the Memorandum as a hoax. Lee Harvey Oswald and that CIA Memo: The "Smoking Gun" Backfires — Steemit I am not impressed by this source. Of course, if the document is genuine, then the CIA would take steps for get it charactized as a hoax. I have given you the links on Facebook to find what Mueller replied on Shepherd's original posting that I cite at the beginning of this topic. Above you state, "I am not sure how this works" and yet you now want me to withdraw my posting of this topic based on your not knowing how Facebook works. Give me a break.

In my original posting I stated Mueller's response to Lee D. Shepherd was where the Memorandum was posted. Look at the replies to Shepherd's posting on Facebook and you will see Mueller's response posting the document. It has not been removed. I just went to Facebook and posted the link to view it. It is there now.

Why hasn't this document been discussed in the forum before if "This document has been debunked and deconstructed so many time its really frustrating to see it keep reappearing." Maybe it has appeared or been discussed on the forum before. If so, please post the link to it.

These postings on Facebook by Mark Mueller were in response to this prior posting by Lee D. Shepherd: Then there is the unsavory tale of Russian staff officer Yuri Ivanovich Nosenko, a mid-level lieutenant colonel in the KGB. On February 4, 1964, less than three months after the assassination, Nosenko, who left behind a wife and two young daughters, defected to the U.S. only to be held incommunicado for four years in a nightmarish, custom-built prison in what would now be known as a “black site,” a secret CIA detention facility at Camp Peary, VA. He was not allowed to read or write, and lights were constantly on to facilitate disorientation in his ten by ten foot isolation cell. While there, Nosenko was never arrested or charged with a crime. In a statement declassified in 2001, Mr. Nosenko said: “I had no contact with anyone to talk. I could not read. I could not smoke. I even could not have fresh air.” Yuri had been working as an informant for the Soviet Division since 1962, and he carried the answer that Oswald was not a real-life Manchurian Candidate. Nosenko had met Oswald during the latter’s sojourn to Russia in 1959 and revealed that there was no evidence in KGB files that LHO ever worked for them in any capacity--information that James Angleton did not want getting out. For instance, the Warren Commission was never made aware of Nosenko’s defection even though an agency memo (internal memos not meant for public reading) quotes the double agent as saying, “Oswald was an exceedingly poor shot, and it was necessary for persons who accompanied him on hunts to provide him with game.” In addition, they had considered him unstable and unfit for espionage work. By keeping the Russian isolated, Angleton could manipulate any follow-up investigation. Claire George, a former C.I.A. deputy director of operations, told The Washington Post, that Mr. Nosenko’s treatment “was a terrible mistake.” But, he added, “you can’t be in the spy business without making mistakes.”

Russian Dam Bursts Washing Away Railroad—Economy To Lose 'Billions' (msn.com)

Message I received today from Robert Morrow: I very strongly urge you all to buy and read Max Boot's book The Road Not Taken which is about the life of General Edward Lansdale, one of the top murderers of John Kennedy. Read this book and you will understand WHY Lansdale wanted to blow out JFK's brains. 1) JFK had approved of a coup in Vietnam which resulted in the death of Lansdale's good friend Ngo Dinh Diem, the leader/unpopular dictator/American puppet of Vietnam.2) The Kennedys kicked Lansdale out of the military on 10/31/1963 - which was quite a blow to a man who thought he had a proprietary interest in making Vietnam policy for years 3) Lansdale had an extremely unhappy experience running Operation Mongoose for the Kennedys in 1962 4) JFK had promised Lansdale the ambassadorship to Vietnam but had to rescind the offer after Secretary of State Dean Rusk said hell no this will not happen. This was all coming to a head in early November, 1963. Lansdale was fired from the military on 10/31/1963. His friend Diem was overthrown in Vietnam on November 1, 1963. The next day, Lansdale's friend Diem was murdered, along with his brother. Interestingly, on the next day, November 4, 1963 Lyndon Johnson was in Europe and an extremely agitated LBJ found out that the Kennedys had sent down a SWAT team of 40 national reporters, representing 4 to 5 major national media properties and they were all investigating Lyndon Johnson with the goal of destroying him with coordinated media exposes of the titanic corruption of Lyndon Johnson. Robert Kennedy had prepared a dossier on LBJ's corruption for this swarming hive of reporters to investigate LBJ. Years later Lansdale is identified in photos taken at Dealey Plaza on 11-22-1963 by his peers Col. Fletcher Prouty, Gen. Victor Krulak and also by Lansdale's second wife, the Filipino who he married after cheating on his first wife. By Dec. 3, 1963, a mere eleven days after the JFK assassination, Gen. Edward Lansdale had a job on the White House grounds of the Lyndon Johnson Administration in the Food for Peace program. Lansdale's office is located on White House grounds in the Old Executive Office Building which is the same building that Lyndon Johnson had his Vice President's office. BOTTOM LINE: Buy Max Boot's book on Lansdale and you will know why Lansdale was a key part in the conspiracy to murder John Kennedy. You can find this book on Amazon or at AbeBooks (dot) com and you can get a used copy for the mere price of $7 which includes shipping. I highly, highly recommend this book. $7 is less than the combined amount of Valentine's Day flowers that Bill Clinton has sent Hillary over a two decade period. $7 costs less than Hunter Biden's crack pipe. $7 is less than what Donald Trump gives over a 10 year period to the Salvation Army. Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize (Biography) A New York Times bestseller, this “epic and elegant” biography (Wall Street Journal) profoundly recasts our understanding of the Vietnam War. Praised as a “superb scholarly achievement” (Foreign Policy), The Road Not Taken confirms Max Boot’s role as a “master chronicler” (Washington Times) of American military affairs. Through dozens of interviews and never-before-seen documents, Boot rescues Edward Lansdale (1908–1987) from historical ignominy to “restore a sense of proportion” to this “political Svengali, or ‘Lawrence of Asia’ ”(The New Yorker). Boot demonstrates how Lansdale, the man said to be the fictional model for Graham Greene’s The Quiet American, pioneered a “hearts and minds” diplomacy, first in the Philippines and then in Vietnam. Bringing a tragic complexity to Lansdale and a nuanced analysis to his visionary foreign policy, Boot suggests Vietnam could have been different had we only listened. With contemporary reverberations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, The Road Not Taken is a “judicious and absorbing” (New York Times Book Review) biography of lasting historical consequence. 54 black and white photographs; 3 maps Review "The Road Not Taken is an impressive work, an epic and elegant biography based on voluminous archival sources. It belongs to a genre of books that takes a seemingly obscure hero and uses his story as a vehicle to capture a whole era... The Road Not Taken gives a vivid portrait of a remarkable man and intelligently challenges the lazy assumption that failed wars are destined to fail or that failure, if it comes, cannot be saved from the worst possible outcome." ― Robert D. Kaplan, Wall Street Journal "Judicious and absorbing.... Boot, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, brings solid credentials to this enterprise. . . . Here he draws on a range of material, official and personal.... What emerges is a picture of a man who from an early point possessed an unusual ability to relate to other people, a stereotypically American can-do optimism, an impatience with bureaucracy and a fascination with psychological warfare." ― Fredrik Logevall, New York Times Book Review "Max Boot capably and readably tracks the fascinating but ultimately depressing trajectory of this shadowy figure, who, as a murky undercover operative and a literary and cinematic avatar, looms over or lurks behind some of the crucial moments in U.S. foreign policy in the decades following World War II, culminating in its greatest disaster." ― James G. Hershberg, Washington Post "Max Boot has now put Lansdale back where he belongs, at the center of the story of the war.... [H]is book is the product of serious scholarship, not ideology. Boot has scoured the archives and found intriguing new material.... The Road Not Taken is an admiring but also critical biography; it invites many quibbles but rewards the reader with an engrossing portrait of a unique figure who defied the bureaucratic values of the institutions in which he served." ― Robert G. Kaiser, New York Review of Books "A brilliant, extremely well-written book about a forgotten figure who was one of the most extraordinary and utterly unorthodox espionage agents in history." ― Steve Forbes, Forbes "The Road Not Taken... is expansive and detailed, it is well written, and it sheds light on a good deal about U.S. covert activities in postwar Southeast Asia.... [Boot] believes that Lansdale’s approach was the wiser one, but he is cautious in his analysis of what went wrong." ― Louis Menand, The New Yorker "Edward Lansdale is probably the greatest cold warrior that most Americans have never heard of. Max Boot has written a fascinating account of how this California college humorist, frat boy and advertising executive evolved into a counterinsurgency expert before the term was even coined. . . . This book should be read in Baghdad and Kabul, not only by Americans, but by local leaders." ― Gary Anderson, Washington Times "Deeply researched and evenhanded, The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam is a superb scholarly achievement.... [Boot] comes at Lansdale having already written two major books of small wars and counterinsurgency, a solid foundation that he takes to a new level here with rigorous research and dogged investigation into little-known corners of Lansdale’s life." ― Carter Malkasian, Foreign Policy "In this fine portrait of Edward Lansdale, Max Boot adds to his well-deserved reputation as being among the most insightful and productive of contemporary historians. This is a superb book." ― Lewis Sorley, National Review "A brilliant biography of the life―and a riveting description of the times―of Edward Lansdale, one of the most significant figures in post-World War II Philippines and then in Vietnam.... The Road Not Taken not only tells Edward Lansdale’s story with novelistic verve but also situates it wonderfully in the context of his tumultuous experiences―and offers important lessons for the present day." ― General David Petraeus About the Author Max Boot is a Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, a columnist for the Washington Post, and a global affairs analyst for CNN. His most recent book is the New York Times bestseller The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam.

NTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE 1% ERS: 99% of people born between 1930 and 1946 (GLOBALLY) are now dead. If you were born in this time span, your ages range between 77 and 93 years old (a 16-year age span) and you are one of the rare surviving one-percenters. You are the smallest group of children born since the early 1900's. You are the last generation, climbing out of the depression, who can remember the winds of war and the impact of a world at war that rattled the structure of our daily lives for years. You are the last to remember ration books for everything from tea to sugar to shoes. You saved tin foil and poured fried meat fat into cans. You can remember milk being delivered to your house early in the morning and placed in the "milk box" at the front door. Discipline was enforced by parents and teachers. You are the last generation who spent childhood without television and instead, you “imagined” what you heard on the radio. With no TV, you spent your childhood "playing outside". There was no city playground for kids. The lack of television in your early years meant that you had little real understanding of what the world was like. We got “black-and-white” TV in the late 50s that had 3 stations and no remote. Telephones (if you had one) were one to a house and hung on the wall in the kitchen (who cares about privacy). Computers were called calculators; they were hand-cranked. Typewriters were driven by pounding fingers, throwing the carriage, and changing the ribbon. INTERNET and GOOGLE were words that did not exist. Newspapers and magazines were written for adults and your dad would give you the comic pages after he read the news. The news was broadcast on your radio in the evening. The radio network gradually expanded from 3 stations to thousands. New highways would bring jobs and mobility. Most highways were 2 lanes and there were no Motorways. You went downtown to shop. You walked to school. Your parents were suddenly free from the confines of the depression and the war, and they threw themselves into working hard to make a living for their families. You weren't neglected, but you weren't today's all-consuming family focus. They were glad you played by yourselves. They were busy discovering the postwar world. You entered a world of overflowing plenty and opportunity; a world where you were welcomed, enjoyed yourselves. You felt secure in your future, although the depression and poverty were deeply remembered. Polio was still a crippler. Everyone knew someone who had it. You are the last generation to experience an interlude when there were no threats to our country. World War 2 was over and the cold war, terrorism, global warming, and perpetual economic insecurity had yet to haunt life. Only your generation can remember a time after WW2 when our world was secure and full of bright promise and plenty. You grew up at the best possible time, a time when the world was getting better. More than 99% of you are retired now, and you should feel privileged to have "lived in the best of times!" If you have already reached the age of 77 years old, you have outlived 99% of all the other people on this planet. You are a 1% 'er!
