- John, Walker was also a man with enormous ego and pride. Considering his state of mind about the Kennedys leading up to Oxford Miss, how do you think he felt about them coming out of Springfield Missouri?? -Bill

Except, among numerous other things, uh.....Castro wasn't that STUPID! -Bill O

Exactly! Also, if Oswald was indeed there assembling the snipers lair etc., he would have probably heard the elevator coming up. This would have caused him to stop what he was doing, to ascertain just which floor it's occupants were getting off at. This would have delayed his preperations even further, and made his security very precarious at a crucial time. -Bill

Os was evidently expecting to followed back to the area of his rooming house by somebody. IMO that's why he had the cab driver go past the rooming house and drop him off several blocks up Beckley. This gave him the opportunity to scope the rooming house as they drove by, and then approach it with caution on foot from a safe distance. Had that Police car (that honked twice) come by and parked and in front of the house as he was approaching... and he saw it, who knows what he would have done ,or how differently things might have turned out !? -Bill O Also, At this point in time nobody supposedly knew that location of his living quarters. So why all the caution and doubling back? Who was he fearfull of, so soon after leaving the SBD? -Bill O

I attended the conference, I'll just say it was very good. Especially Abe Bolden, who was very emotionally moving, as he recalled his days at the White House, the racism in the SS etc. Good stuff on the medical evidence from Collin McSween. Ed Martino (John's son) was interesting as well, as he recalled his unusual childhood memories of his Dad. Larry did a great presentation about the RFK case and the movements of suspects in the Ambassador Hotel. All in all , it was worth it , but Man, was it cold there! (36Deg) -Bill

Was not the last American President to be shot dear old Ronald Reagan? Was it a lone gunman or something more sinister I wonder? Wallace and Reagan were shot for different reasons, more likely internal party wars... IMO. Peter, The folks I'm talking about, don't give a damn who Obama's staff or cabnet consists of. They don't want a Ni**er in the White House! Period! There blinded by their hatred, which is why they consistantly vote against their own self interest, and are consumed by backwards notions. -Bill Just to clarify , the phrase 'Ni**er in the White House' should be in quotations above, as this was something I heard another declare. -Bill

Over the last few weeks I have heard from various people, mostly of conservative bent, that consistantly declare 'Obama will not survive the first year in office.....he will be killed' The same forces and attitudes that induced the assassinations of the 60's, is alive and well, and lurking just below the surface. Recall the very same rhetoric about those slain previously.. I fear for his life, let's hope he has more loyal and dedicated protection than JFK did. -Bill

Ah yes , right on time for the anniversary season, as usual. It's gotten so I don't even have to look at my calender. -Bill

Myra; The "Angelo" question was pretty well resolved by Gerry Hemming. And, although GPH's statements should rightfully be questioned, I do not question the son of Angelo Murgado/aka Angel Kennedy. http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.ph...=5333&st=30 My father has for lack of a better word, made me his representative, so I speak for him when I write this. When my father went to meet with Silvia, he has assured me that Oswald was already in the apartment. The only reason Oswald was known to my father was the same way most of New Orleans new him...through the newspaper and other media outlets. Oswald if you remember was working very hard at getting himself noticed. My father says he never even shock hands with Oswald nor did he speak with him as his business was with Sylvia. At no time did my father have any type of association with Oswald besides this brief encounter. Amaury Murgado (son of Angel/Angelo Murgado) is a retired NCO from the United States Army Special Forces. His credentials are impeccable, and were it that his father was anything other than a true patriot of the Cuban Freedom fighters, then one can be assured that Amaury Murgado would never have been entrusted to the postion which he has ultimately received. This is one of those areas in which the knowledge of GPH has helped to eliminate suspicion from some (such as Angel Murgado), while also pointing to those aspects of LHO's activities which demonstrate that someone was "feeding" him information which he could use to attempt to point the finger at the Cuban Freedom Fighters. What information, and which 'Cuban Freedom Fighters' ? -Bill which 'Cuban Freedom Fighters' ? Bay of Pigs survivors! What information LHO, according to Murgado, was there waiting when they arrived at the residence. Therefore, unless one is a believer in massive circumstance, then someone would have had to inform LHO of the predicted presence of Anti-Castro Cubans at the location. In being present with these persons, LHO managed to "cast a smell" on them (along with all of the other false scents/trails which he left) as if he had some connection to the anti-Castro faction. (Sound Familiar to anyone?) However, this "coincidental" meeting, assuming that it was not coincidence, points back to a "common ground" which had the ability to manipulate the Anti-Castro faction as well as feed information to LHO as to where and when to be somewhere that he could cast suspicion in their direction. Just as in many other instances of LHO's actions. Thomas, There were two different Cuban factions or philosophies represented at this supposed ''meeting". JURE (Sylvia) was supposedly not simpatico with the likes of Torres, and or Murgado. Yet even that is not certain, as Sarita's (DRE) associations suggest. It's still not clear who was zoomin' who there, IMO -Bill

Well, Bill has shown the humor and Bernie has delivered the tolerance. They're both class acts. But in the end, this isn't - at least shouldn't be - about Bernie, Bill, me or Mike. It's about the JFK case, and what can be contributed to it. Mike seems to want the other thread unlocked, and fwiw, since everyone has calmed down, I think it should be. Maybe Mike does have more to put on the table, and maybe he'll also now be prepared to tackle issues raised by playing the ball and not the man. If it is unlocked, and I decide to post further to it, I'll make a commitment to follow the examples set here. And Bill, golf may be the one thing that proves the existence of Satan. The thread has been unlocked. UH oh......FORE!! -Bill

It looks like he is pointing to various pictures of Jack Ruby, but what the significance is, I don't know. Steve Thomas I agree, looks like a series of pic's of Ruby, during the trial period (?) Seems to me, If I recall correctly Joe was a bud of Ruby's.

John, Im pretty sure John Dolva already has a thread going on this. Very worthwhile site, though. Having been responsible for "opening" this door to important links, John Dolva certainly recognized that there existed a wealth of background information there. Might I add, it is a sight for those who conduct RESEARCH! Such as Robert Oswald, Lawyer; Judge; as well as distant cousin of LHO, and a member of those groups fighting to keep Gulf Coast Beaches for "White Only" at the same period of time that LHO was at Keesler AFB, Biloxi, mS. And, since the head of the Soverignty Commission was originally a Lucedale, MS native and is buried here, as well as having known him personally, then one could, not unlike other aspects, say that I had a "heads up" on exatly what was going on down here in MS. The original "home" of the Oswalds. So, those who are actually into research, have known about the Soverignty Commission for a long, long time, provided that they read this forum. And, John Dolva has recognized the "worth" of that research. If he does not get lost in looking for "Postmaster Assassins", then he just may find additional information of value there, as it most assuredly exists and has yet to be revealed. As example: One certainly has to honor any organization which has as it's initials "CSA"! There are also files of the MSC at the Univ. of Southern Missisippi. I looked at those before the main collection became available. I think most of the material at USM, is also contained in the main collection in Jackson MS. -Bill

Well, it's unlikely that these two men could fit in the "snipers nest", as photographed. The 5th floor keeps coming into play, as you read the various reports. -Bill

Thanks, Thornley was there, and was sitting with Oswald in a French Quarter joint by a women who joined them at the table, and she described some of their conversation. When confronted with this years later, Thornley said he might have been sitting with Oswald talking, but he didn't recognize him as a guy he served with in USMC, which is hard to swallow. Harold had doubts of Thornley's guilt of what? That he knew LHO in USMC and New Orleans in summer of '63, or guilt of being part of a conspiracy? Or that he doubts the veracity of Jones people that it actually was Thornley? Harold was quick to judge and hard to change his mind. If it was Thornley, then did the leaflets go from Thornley to Quiroga to Oswald? Maybe David Lifton can shed some light on this. Since I can't wait for his book to come out maybe we can nudge him to answer. Also, no one has answered my question as to the present whereabouts of Quiroga. Does anybody know if he is still alive and living in New Orleans or elsewhere? And Bill, did I tell you before that I knew another Bill O'Neil, a red head guitarist for the Temptations? BK Weisberg said he was no longer sure, that Thornley was in NO's at the same time as Os. Or, that he had ever impersonated Os. yet he was puzzled about the ID of Jones and Silva, which he later re-confirmed after doubts were raised. I think he may have filmed or taped that 2nd interview, to show Garrison.... my mind is a little vague on that. Well , I play guitar but, no red hair! -Bill

Bill, Harold took a bunch pictures of Garrison subjects down to the print shop and showed them to the Jones and Myra Silver. They picked out 4 pic's of Kerry Thornley as looking most like the person who picked up the order. Weisberg told us he was reluctant to name Thornley, as he had doubts about his guilt after talking to David Lifton. -Bill O

Geeze, You'd think the guy had commited a sin! -Bill

John , Be carefull regarding Morrow and his "credibility". After talking with Mr. Morrow after a COPA meeting in Chicago, my friend and I determined that he never met David Ferrie. Morrow could barely describe Ferrie physically, and said he would never forget his "southern drawl". As Steve Roy can confirm, Ferrie hailed from Cleveland Ohio, which Morrow did not seem to know, and DID NOT have a "southern drawl"... at all! ' This and other observations led us to discount Morrow for the most part. -Bill

Thanks for confirming, Bill. Greg , An interesting tidbit. Robert E. Wood resigned as Honorary Chairman of For America (On 3/8/56) over the fact that the organization was seriously considering not supporting Eisenhower in the election. Instead they were going to support "independant (3rd party) delegates. Tom, Manion and Wood were both involved with Norman V Peale's secretive group aimed at de-railing Kennedy's candidacy. Oswald had named Peale as one of his three favorite authors on his Albert Schweitzer application (the other two being Darwin and Jack London). Wood was also at a meeting attended by Larrie Schmidt at the home of Robert Morris. My point was, Tom, you might think it's a waste of time time looking for snakes in unlikely places but, as shown, snakes can and do wind up in such places. The same applies in any type of thorough investigation... you can't just dismiss leads on the basis that you personally consider them unlikely. And by the way, the snake was only in the zoo because it had been given it by Alaska Reptile Rescue... wouldn't that indicate it was found in the wilds of Alaska - even if there are no native snakes?

Wood resigned as Honorary Chairman of For America (On 3/8/56) over the fact that the organization was seriously considering not supporting Eisenhower in the election. Instead they were going to support "independant (3rd party) delegates. This was part of the radicalization of For America in my opinion, which did not sit well with some of the moderates in the group. Although Woods had his name removed as Chairman, he did say he'd continue to support the group in general. -Bill

Tom, I asked because there was a group called Texans for America started by J Evetts Haley for the purpose of influencing what text books school kids could have and which should be banned.Just wondered about any connection. So you did. I just searched and found a mention you made of it in Sep '05. Sorry I missed it, but at that time I was busy preparing to move my family across to the other side of the country. An impressive sounding list - none of which puts Oswald on the 6th floor firing any weapon - which is what you were ostensibly responding to here. Really? Someone better tell the zoo! http://www.alaskazoo.org/reptilehome.htm Stick to genealogy, Tom. You do a good job on that. Really? Someone better tell the zoo! Not even for sure that they had a Zoo when I was there. Not to mention a snake or two.------------In a zoo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.laobserved.com/archive/002222.html "For America," a spin-off of the America First Committee, was formed in 1954, and run by some of the leading WW II "isolationists." One of the organization's leading lights was Colonel Robert McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune. The chairman of For America was Clarence Manion, formerly dean of law at Notre Dame University. Robert Wood, then head of Sears, Roebuck, was a blustering propagandist for the bund.

Bill, Quigley has been included because he obtained employment after the assassination with one of the Dallas Host committee. He was also reportedly spending up way in excess of his known income (possibly even prior to leaving the FBI). He committed perjury during his WC testimony. Was the above, part of a pay off for that? Do you have any particular reasons for including the above two? Greg, I have reason to believe these guys knew alot more than they let on. (Some of it I can't get into now). Kaack was the SA in charge of the Oswald investigation and held his file. He was onto Oswald very soon after he arrived, and according to his landlord, making regular inquiries about him. This was going on at a time when the FBI supposedly did not know Lee's address. Kaack was never questioned before a committee or deposed, that I know of. De Brueys was very close to (or infiltrating) the Cuban community and was running informants in it, and probably all around town. He had to know what was going on with the Oswald charade. I also think he intimidated witnesses like Orest Pena to keep silent. -Bill

Lets not forget Feebees Milton Kaack Warren DeBrueys -Bill

Thanks a lot, Bill. When were you last in touch with him? A researcher talked to his wife a year or so ago (maybe longer) and she said Paul had died of a fall from a roof. Where ever his files are, they probably contain much that should be considered vital JFK assassination material. Ron W Ron, We spoke to him about 3yrs ago at length at his home in Richardson TX. I did not know he had passed away, did it make the news? He had alot of files in his home and other materials stored somewhere else. This guy knew where the 'bodies were buried' so to speak. I doubt any of his stuff will surface, he said too many of his freinds or their families would suffer as a result, and "I don't want that to happen, they are people I respect"... Spooky dude, One of the most nerve racking interviews we've done... ! -Bill RON. IF JAMES IS CORRECT ON ROTHERMEL'S DEATH ( HE PROBABLY IS ), THEN OBVIOUSLY I'M OFF ON MY GUESS OF THE INTERVIEW YEAR. TIME SEEMS TO BE FLYING BY THESE DAYS, BUT THAT INTERVIEW SEEMS LIKE IT WAS LAST WEEK IN MY MIND. I WILL CHECK WITH MY FRIEND WHO WAS WITH ME AT THE TIME . WE DID ANOTHER INTERVIEW IN RICHARDSON ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO , AND THAT MAYBE WHY THAT DATE STUCK IN MY HEAD. -BILL Ron. After further checking, the interview took place in 2000. It's hard to believe it's been 7yrs! -Bill
