John, I'm not saying there is anything sinister about Baldinger or that he was the guy with the property Sherry asked about. Rorke gave a speech at a meeting of the Anti Communist Liaison after his failed bombing raid into Cuba. Baldinger then allegedly met with Rorke several times and given both men's politics, the reasons would be most curious indeed. Maybe there is something in Baldinger's papers, I don't know. There is also Rorke and Sullivan's communications with an FAA official named Oscar Bakke, Sullivan's out of date medical certificate for flying at the time he was transporting Rorke back to New York, Rorke's connection to the owner of a CIA operated PBY out of Miami, and to a CIA man named Montgomery Luft - all aspects in the months just before both men disappeared. FWIW. James

Hi Sherry, May I suggest you check out Wilbur Baldinger? James

Steve, Sorry for this very late reply but time is short I'm afraid. I do indeed have lots of new photos to share but I am waiting for clearance and copyright clarification. I have already posted new images of Felipe Vidal Santiago and Tony Izquierdo in recent times. I was planning a web site but have decided against that idea instead I will post them at The Education Forum when able to. Cheers, James

James...here is your probable answer... 70116 Zip Code (New Orleans, Louisiana) Jack Thanks, Jack. Appreciated. James

Peter, There are no doubts that DCM and UM had a working relationship, one in fact that went back to late 1962. This involved a revolutionary group that operated under the direction of Dr. Julio Garceran who continued his anti-Castro activities well into 1963. These two guys were seasoned warriors who had varying degrees of success in the world of hit and run into Cuba. DCM was of course signalling. What is telling here is not that the umbrella was open when the limo passed, but that not long after the shooting, it was closed. James

I have been unable to find a context for the reference number which was on the back of a photograph. Any ideas would be appreciated. James

I submit the function of the man and the umbrella was simply to serve as a distraction. The incongruous site of a man holding an open umbrella on a fine day would have had the SS looking at him and not at the man a short distance away with his hand in the air. Subtle slight of hand, nothing more. FWIW. James

I though some forum members might be interested in this image below. To my knowledge, it has not been published before. If it has, I would be interested to know where. The man in the uniform is Felipe Vidal Santiago just before his defection. James

Or have you heard of Pash's subordinate, Col. Willard White, who was married to LBJ's sister Josefa for a number of years? Linda, Yes, I have heard of Willard White. A dinner party at he and Josefa's place would have been an interesting affair given that most likely one would have been using Hitler's silverware. James

I don't have a number to go with the names, but the first group of men to be given AMHINT cryptonyms were - Manuel Salvat Carlos De Varona y Segura (this was Tony Varona's son) Alberto Muller y Quintana Miguel Garcia Ramon Barquin Cantero FWIW. James

Glen, In your dealings with Factor, did he ever mention the name John Sawtooth? Sawtooth was a Texan legend when it came to tracking and the like. He was the guide Paul Rothermel used when hunting. Rothermel was an expert marksman with many trophies for Boone and Crockett Club events. Sawtooth and Factor were supposedly friends. James

Bill, I do have all the photos snapped of the peace march in Canada and Collins is not amongst them. They mostly show the same half a dozen or so people. I can tell you that Collins was indeed in Canada at the time. This was confirmed by a couple of INTERPEN guys I spoke with. I also have another very good source (independent) that puts him there and in communication with Robert Johnson and Arturo Espaillat. The truth is, Edwin Collins does not fit the description Sylvia Odio gave of 'Angel' but I still haven't rulled him out. A few weeks before the Odio incident, Collins and De Torres were attending a parade of the Antonio Maceo Battalion in Miami. They were photographed by Tom Dunkin. Others attending were some men attached to a support group for the Brigade 2506. Below is a photograph that I believe has not been published before. That is Ed Collins second from the right wearing the camouflage gear and beret. FWIW. James

Along with several other Hollywood types, Earl Felton was allegedly reporting direct to the CIA. This image below shows Felton on the right, Kirk Douglas in the middle and Richard Fleischer on the left on the set of "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea". James

Hi Jim, First off let me congratulate you on the work you are doing. You are the voice of reason amongst the insanity and I do believe what you are doing will help get to the heart of this conspiracy. No idea who "Tom" is but Hilaire du Berrier is definitely someone worth pursuing. He was indeed close to Walker but I don't know if he was there during the so-called assassination attempt. Hilaire du Berrier was responsible for initiating a story regarding a young guy pulling up in front of Walker's house and throwing a US flag down on the lawn - a young man who resembled Oswald. The vehicle he was driving was a late 1950's blue and white Mercury. This tied into another story which was reported to the Feds regarding Oswald, Marina and the kids pulling up in the same type of vehicle and visiting a furniture store looking to get some work done on a rifle - the store once having a gun department. Hilaire du Berrier also involved himself in the RFK assassination saying that Kennedy's visit to a synogogue was the reason why he was killed. Du Berrier spent some time in California regarding this and allegedly visited the Camarillo Ranch - why, I have no idea but there is some material here on this forum regarding that location. Hilaire du Berrier and a man named Dwight Coffman at one time were described as chief foreign affairs advisers to George Wallace. Du Berrier was also on intel duties in Algeria and worked with Jean Souetre. All in all, some curious associations. As to the official story of Oswald in Mexico, I do not think he was there but instead visiting Sylvia Odio. I submit Oswald was in Mexico during late July of 1963 with Richard Case Nagell. FWIW. James

Hi Jim, Just to clarify things, it was many years ago now that I suggested the 'Leopoldo' character in the Sylvia Odio affair was Bernardo De Torres. GPH agreed with this and later said same to Joan Mellon. I was also the one who suggested that Ed Collins be looked at as a candidate for 'Angel'. GPH vehemently disagreed with this and ultimately offered up Angel Murgado as being this individual. Joan Mellon followed up and wrote about it which then sparked much debate here. I have serious doubts that Murgado was involved. Ed Collins was a member of the Interpen group and trained men on No Name Key. He was part of the extreme right wing and had associations amongst the KKK and JBS. Collins died in 1964 under suspect conditions and there was some suggestion that GPH and Steve Wilson knew more than what they said publically. I submit that Ed Collins was the man calling himself Lee Harvey Oswald in Montreal during late summer of 1963. He had infiltrated a peace march that was to start in Canada and end in Guantanamo. The Canadian controller for this being Robert Emmett Johnson who knew Collins from Miami. Collins was also an associate of Felipe Vidal Santiago and both men where injured in a suspect boat explosion that they ultimately survived. This happened in December of 1963 and also involved the journalist Dickey Chapelle. The rumors were that this was an attempt on their lives by one Col. Bishop after Vidal had given an interview to Chapelle which to this day has not surfaced. I am far from convinced that Collins was Angel but I submit the De Torres identification is solid. De Torres was also well known to the Interpen group and had close associations with William Seymour and Dennis Harber. Harber is someone who remains under researched as he knew Gen. Walker well and was a regular visitor. Again, rumor has it that Harber was visiting Walker at the time of the so-called attempt on his life. De Torres was also an associate of an unknown Cuban exile who I submit was photographed by Jim Murray in Dealey Plaza during the immediate aftermath of the assassination. De Torres and Collins below. FWIW. James

Bill, Hundley was John Mitchell's defense attorney during the Watergate drama. James

Greg, Here is another photograph of L. Robert Castorr, this time circa 1958. That is him on the right. The other man is Texas Governor Price Daniel. I'm not sure if you have checked it out or not but another interesting aspect to Castorr was his stint as a senior staff officer at SCORE. The sponsored Service Corp of Retired Executives. This was one of Richard Nixon's volunteer programs. James

Here's another photograph of Castorr. James

Bill, Have you ever heard of a guy named Edwin Dolan, Boris Pash's bodyguard? If not, he's a most interesting guy. Image below shows Pash on the left. James

Peter, I agree, the complete AMDENIM's list would be most curious indeed. As to the correct way to write the cryptonyms, it seems that there is no real consistency here. Different documents have them constructed differently. A dash between the last letter and the first number is very common though. James

AMDIP-1 is Tony Varona (also AMHAWK-1) AMJAVA-4 is Rafael Quintero AMRUG-5 is Victor M. Paneque Diego AMPALM-26 is Salvador Diaz Verson AMOT-11 is Benito Quevedo AMYUM was the MRR JMARC were the operations in Cuba AMDENIM-11 is Eddie 'Bayo' Perez WIROGUE is Christian David AMCANOE-6 is Juan Herrera Valladeres AMDENIM-14 is Tony Cuesta QDCHAR is Marcos Diaz Lanz AMTRUNK-2 is Enrique Cayado Rivera AMCORE-1 is Abel Mestre WUBRINY-1 is Thomas Devine AMYUM-19 is Cesar Baro AMIGGY-1 is Ulises Carbo AMDENIM-4 is Larry Laborde AMHINT-26 is John Koch Gene AMHAWK-2 is Jesus Esposito Lorenzo AMWAIL-3 is Joaquin Sanjenis Perdomo AMJUTE-1 is Arnesto Napolean Rodriguez y Gonzalez AMRUNG-1 is Rogelio Gonzalez y Corso AMGLEN-1 is Jesus A. Valdes Cardenas AMPANIC-14 is Juan de Jesus Arbelo Zabaleta

Martin Milner and Kent McCord.....The Adam 12 Stars...... Yeah, wonder how far we would have come, if we knew the identities of every single informant in the Warren Commission? I'd settle for about a handful...lol Nice Work James....Also I would like to see the picture of Decker and Walther's you mentioned Robert.... There are some important people named Diaz....... James ever heard of Modesett...ONI? Robert, I gather that would be Jack Modesset? He is a very interesting character and seriously overlooked in the grand design. Modesset was a crony of Hal Feeney, another rarely mentioned player amongst the South Florida revolutionary groups. Diaz was one of the Alpha 66 guys associating with Manuel Orcaberrio. Interesting that Tippit was right amongst these guys at the Stevens Theater. James

Posted as a curiosity. The image below shows Buddy Walthers' wife posing with the two actors who starred in the TV series 'Adam-12'. I can't recall their names off hand. This would have been circa early to mid 1970's. As an aside, one of the Cuban exile informants the DPD had on the payroll was a man named Rafael Diaz - Alpha 66 member and a regular at the Stevens Theater where J.D. Tippit moonlighted. I don't know if he was T-2 but the fact is there were many T-2's at the time. The T designation meant that identities must be protected. Another T-2 was Charles 'The Blade' Tourine. FWIW. James

Ron, Make no mistake, I do believe Robertson was in Dallas and I do believe he was involved with the assassination. The photos I refer to have a copyright issue and the person who has access to them doesn't want them posted on the net. These images popped up for sale on eBay some time back as part of a historical Bay of Pigs collection that the seller wanted some $10,000 for. The image John posted is one of the photos in the collection and was published in a book released at the beginning of 2009 written by Alejandro Quesada. That aside, you are right about the statistical probability of all those look-a-likes at the corner of Main and Houston and I know how much you love coincidences. I am just trying to cover all angles here and to explore new information that I consider of importance. James

Thanks to everyone for your responses and kind words. They are greatly appreciated. I should have mentioned that there would be about 5 years difference in the images (1958-1963). I guess I'm just looking for a possibility that they are one in the same at the moment as I plan to take this a step further which may prove rather interesting. To that end, this image below is the uncropped version. That is Ivan Vidal on the left. He commited suicide some 10 years ago. The guy on the right is Felipe Vidal Santiago. Yes, he and Ivan were brothers. James
