According to esteemed assassination researcher and author Prof. Peter Dale Scott,... Crichton had time and inclination to organize the 488th which he headquartered in Dallas, with himself ultimately responsible.... In direct control of the unit was Lt. Col.

I'm sorry, but is this you saying, or Scott?
Are you, or Scott saying that Crichton's 488th was an official unit of the United States Army Reserve?
I looked into it once, and the Title, Commander of Army Reserve Units in East Texas doesn't exist.
If Crichton "organized", with "himself ultimately responsible" for the 488th, how could Whitmeyer be " in direct control" of it?

I don't understand this one at all.
The Republican National Committee and various Republican Legislators are sending out screaming email and social media fundraising posts, urging people to send in money to Stop the Plan to destroy Mount Rushmore.
The appeals say that the Democrats have a plan to destroy Mount Rushmore, and we have to stop it.
1) There is no such plan.
2) Even if there was, the Democrats are in the minority in the House.
3) If there were such a Plan, why would the Republicans need private donations to stop it. What happened to their power as Federal Legislators?
This is so bizarre.

Steve Bannon, a conservative strategist and long-time Trump ally, has blasted the network for not giving Trump more coverage, including after his recent visit to East Palestine, Ohio.
"You've disrespected Donald J. Trump long enough," he said during a CPAC speech on Friday.
Yeah. Forget about the people in East Palestine. Let's concentrate on what really matters.

PS: Relative to that visit to Louis Assemat-Tessandier in January, 1964 as described in Appendix A of Fensterwald's SUMMARY OF PARIS TRIP - NOVEMBER 13-22, 1982,
Assemat-Tessandierhe said that he was visited by a "tall" Frenchman.
Roux was 5'8" tall. I could see that he would not be "identical" with Souetre, who was 6'1".

Here are the notes I have with respect to the idea that Jean-Rene Souetre me with American authorities both in Madrid in the April-May, 1963 timeframe, and in Lisbon, Portugal in May, 1963. In Lisbon, I think he met with the American Ambassador, Admiral George Whelan Anderson, Jr,

Both ____ and Le Cavelier suggested that a current visit to see Souetre
in Divonne Les Bains would be (1) dangerous; (2) unproductive (he won't talk);
and (3) probably counterproductive. We did not visit SouetrePage 4
On Saturday, November 20, we had a meeting with Jean Claude Perez, M.D., ex-chief of O.R.O., the OAS intelligence organization. Dr. Perez was extremely cautious of us (including Le Cavelier), had a tendency to lapse into OAS dialetics and old war stories, but did let slip a few pertinent items:
5. The OAS made a real effort to help via right wing U.S. Ambassador to Portugal, Admiral George Whelan Anderson, Jr.. They though Anderson would understand "de Gaulle's true nature, i.e., pro-communism"; even Anderson could not swallow this;

Q: Did you know of any O.A.S. members training Anti castro gerrillas
there?
A: No.
Gilbert Lecalevier breaks in, tells him that, yes there were some.Page 23
Q: Does the name Espaillot mean anything to you?
A: Not a thing.
Q: How about Bannister?
A: Hmmmmm. Seems to me I once met a Bannister, tall, older,said to be a former F.B.I. man. Met him in Madrid.
Q: What was his relation to the O.A.S.?
A: Just met him. You must not assume from meeting that contactand support were the same thing. I see here in your realm; that you claim we were financed by Nagy on account of a meeting. False.We were constantly meeting with people in an attempt to recruit support. It was rarely forthcoming. We tried, for example, through the goddaughter of the commander of Spanish-based American Forces, William Donovaz5to make contact with the U.S.
Q: The Donovan, commander of the wartime O.S.S.? That one?
A: Yes. We also tried to make indirect contacts through friends and acquaintances with Admiral Anderson (was that the name?) the U.,5.ambassador. We could never make contact. Some of these high-ranking military men ware noted for right-wing positions. We thought we would get a sympathetic hearing. We could never get an interview. “I got to wondering how much of the information we have on Souetre has come from Lecavalier. Lecavalier was SAC. SAC and the OAS hated each other. He wrote in his book that "whereas the main effort of SAC between 1958 and 1960 was against the FLN (the pro-independence Algerian rebels), between 1961 and 1967, it was against the OAS"
Concerning the meeting in Lisbon, Portugal:
On Page 8 of this thread,
I included a memo from the Deputy Director of Plans to the
Deputy Director for Coordination
Bureau of Intelligence and Research
Department of State
In 1963, the Deputy Director of Plans for the CIA was Richard Helms
In that memo, Helms summarizes the meeting in Lisbon, Portugal between Jean-Rene Souetre and Captain Gueria. I believe that Helms was actually referring to Yves Guerin-Serac.
The last line in that memo reads:
On page 9 of this Forum thread, I included the memo of June 25th .

APPENDix B
DRAFT OF ARTICLE ON L'AFFAIRE KENNEDY
The French Government is repressing records that might well solve the Affaire Kennedy. Equally interesting, it appears to be hiding the documents at the behest of the American CIA, which has blunted all investigations – official and otherwise -- for the past nineteen years.“The American investigation ended a few days later; as suddenly as it began -- and without reaching any conclusions.”
Was the CIA using Souetre as an asset, that is why his records have not been released all these years?

See page. 16It refers to a meeting with E. Howard Hunt in Madrid in the April-May, 1963 time frame.
I say, "supposed" meeting because Hunt denied it was him, and I don't know who the Station Chief was at the time.
Another CIA document in the Mary Ferrel Foundation speaks of a meeting with Souetre and Guerin Serac, but I've reached my search limit for the night and can't go back and pull it up.
Ps: I think that memo is dated July 7th, and is different from the June 25th memo you were referencing.

Why would you credit Souetre's word on his whereabouts?If both DeGualle and the LA, with the responsibility of keeping track of guys like Souetre for the French government, believed the story of Souetre's expulsion,
Roger,
What is LA.?
I have been wondering where the Department of State is in all of this.
If a French national was expelled from the United States, wouldn't the Department of State know about it?
Did the French government complain?
In 1963, Jean-Rene Souetre was a wanted man, actively being sought internationally. The CIA knew who he was. "Someone" from the CIA met with him in Madrid in the Spring of 1963.
Did the CIA or the INS have an internationally known terrorist in their hands, and blithely let him slip through their fingers without telling anyone?
How could anyone, the U.S. or France, know that he had been expelled, but not know where?
How did they know it was by air? How did they know he wasn't put on a bus, or driven by car and dumped at the border?
Was it a commercial flight, or a military aircraft? What airlines did they use? What was the flight number?
For that matter, the declarative statements that he had been in Fort Worth in the morning, and that he had been expelled; is that coming from the French, or by the American author of that memo?
Who wrote that memo? Who was it from, and who was it to?
I''m sorry,, but the whole tthing is fishy as hell.
I have no doubts that the French government was inquiring about the whereabouts of Souetre in the Spring of 1964 in advance of DeGaulle's planned visit to Mexico. They did the same thing with the Italians and West Germans in 1962.
But from that point on, everythig in that memo goes south.

Who is William Reymond? I don’t mean to shoot he messenger, but having looked around a bit it seems that he and Billy Sol Estes co-wrote a book claiming that Mac Wallace killed JFK on orders from LBJ. It also seems that in a previous book Reymond named two Cubans who along with LHO did the deed.
Paul
William Reym9nd wrote a book entitled, JFK : Autopsie d'un crime d'état,, first published in 1998.
I was just reading through portions of it. His section on Souetre begins on p. 430.
He talks about Souetre being interviewed by representatives of Fensterwald and by journalists (who Souetre thought were intelligence agents) in the 1980's.
He seems to agree with Souetre that it was Michael Mertz in Dallas, masquerading as Souetre.
Reymond says that Mertz was not alone, but was accompanied by two former members of the 1st. REP ( the French Foreign Legion.)
The shooters were named, Max, Ladislav, and Etienne.
Reymond and Souetre said that blaming Souetre was an effort by French Intelligence to implicate the OAS
Reymond asks the question, How did the French know that Souetre had been expelled from the United States on November 24th, but the American INS, nor the FBI, nor the CIA didn't?
That strains credulity..
One other thing that he said that I found interesting was that according to Gilbert Lecavalier in his book, Aux Orders du SAC, Christian David.was also a member of ETEC.

Once again, Donald Trump throws people under the bus.
Trump mocks Fox News' Dominion lawsuit woes: 'They look scared and frightened'
by Matthew Chapman February 28, 2023
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-fox-news-2659478864/
"Former President Donald Trump slammed Fox News for not doing more to stand up for the validity of its false "voter fraud" claims in the $1.6 billion Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit, in a furious rant on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday.
"There was so much Voter Fraud & Irregularities in the 2020 Presidential Election that it amazes me how weak and ineffective FoxNews is at portraying itself in the lawsuit against them," wrote Trump. "They look too scared and frightened to reveal the massive amounts of voter fraud & Irregularities already found, and it would actually help them in the lawsuit. Instead FoxNews wants to silence its anchors and reporters, the reason so many of their viewers fled. The Election was that of a Third World Country!""
Now, give me money.

"On February 8, 1961, he deserted with a group of about twenty officers, non-commissioned officers and ordinary soldiers as well as civilians to found a maquis in the hinterland of Mostaganem. Baptized France Resurrection, he hoped to raise people against power.".
“SOUETRE — un personnage charismatique, avec un mélange assez prononcé de

Taking your last question first no, I have never spoken with William Reymond.
I do know that at one time, he was suggesting that one of the three tramps was named, "Max",
"Maxime" was the call sign for Souetre's 40/541 Regiment

"Louis Assemat-Tessandier met with Michael Roux in Montreal circa January 20-21. Roux allegedly tried to recruit Louis in an assassination plot against DeGaulle in March, 1964. Louis published an article in an obscure French newspaper in February, 1964. The paper was called Cote-Basque Soir of Bayonne. Was Assemat-Tessandier the source of William Reymond's information?"
Reymond wrote a book called, JFK, autopsie d'un crime d'Etat. in it, he said,
"Le 22 février 1961, il est arrêté dans la région de Mostaganem avec, à ses côtés, cinq civils et quatre militaires dont "Max", le tireur de Dealey Plaza.

From this, I gather that Reymond was not saying that Souetre was one of the shooters, but someone different, one of the military men who was with him hiding out on the farm of Robert Martel in early 1961.. (At least I think the farm belonged to Martel).
This link is apparently now broken, so I don't know if he took this web site down or what. I don't know if William Reymond has changed his thinking, but like I said, I've never spoken to him.

I can't say that. I have no idea what he thought about the INS detaining people. All I can deduce is that he seemed to agree with William Reymond that the story of Souetre being in Dallas was false and designed to discredit the OAS.
