In the wee hours of the night of Nov 22-23, 1963, the FBI secretly took “Oswald's Possessions” from the Dallas Police Department, transported them to Washington, D.C. altered them, and then secretly returned them to Dallas, only to publicly send them to Washington. D.C. a few days later. Among a great many other alterations, a Minox “spy camera” became a Minox “light meter.” FBI agent James Cadigan inadvertently spilled the bean about the secret transfer during his sworn WC testimony, which was altered by the WC.

A few years after the assassination, Atty. Mark Lane interviewed three Dealey Plaza witnesses to the assassination of JFK and showed how the FBI altered their statements. These Mark Lane interviews recently were uploaded to YouTube by JFK researcher Gil Jesus.

Take some deep breaths.
In through the nose, out through the mouth, in through the nose, out through the mouth...

I'm relaxed, Tommy, but thank you for your concern. No doubt your breath control instructions indicate that you too have failed to find an actual bank endorsement on the Magic Money order. Will you or Hank or David someone post it anytime this new year?
-
Oh really, Hank?
Where have you been? Postal money orders do indeed require bank stamps.
First, you need to understand that Federal Reserve Banks use "operating circulars" to inform banks what their requirements are. A page on the FRB website states the following:
"Federal Reserve Financial Services are governed by the terms and conditions that are set forth in the following operating circulars."
Having understood that, now let's look at FRB Revision 4928 of Operating Circular No. 4. Dated 1960 and in effect in 1963, it makes the following statements:
Items which will be accepted as cash items
1. The following will be accepted for collection as cash items:
(1) Checks drawn on banks or banking institutions (including private
bankers) located in any Federal Reserve District which are collectible
at par in funds acceptable to the collecting Federal Reserve Bank. The
“ Federal Reserve Par List,” indicating the banks upon which checks will
be received by Federal Reserve Banks for collection and credit, is fur
nished from time to time and a supplement is furnished each month
showing changes subsequent to the last complete list. This list is subject
to change without notice and the right is reserved to return without
presentment any items drawn on banks which may have withdrawn or
may have been removed from the list or may have been reported elosed.
(2) Government checks drawn on the Treasurer of the United States.
(3) Postal money orders (United States postal money orders; United
States international postal money orders; and domestic-international
postal money orders).
(4) Such other items, collectible at par in funds acceptable to the
Federal Reserve Bank of the District in which such items are payable, as
we may be willing to accept as cash items.
o
o
o
Endorsements
13. All cash items sent to us, or to another Federal Reserve Bank
direct for our account, should be endorsed without restriction to the
order of the Federal Reserve Bank to which sent, or endorsed to the
order of any bank, banker or trust company, or with some similar
endorsement. Cash items will be accepted by us, and by other Federal
Reserve Banks, only upon the understanding and condition that all
prior endorsements are guaranteed by the sending bank. There should
be incorporated in the endorsement of the sending bank the phrase,
“ All prior endorsements guaranteed.” The act of sending or delivering a
cash item to us or to another Federal Reserve Bank will, however,
be deemed and understood to constitute a guaranty of all prior
endorsements on such item, whether or not an express guaranty is
incorporated in the sending bank’s endorsement. The endorsement of
the sending bank should be dated and should show the American
Bankers Association transit number of the sending bank in prominent
type on both sides.
THEREFORE...
Postal money orders required bank endorsement stamps in 1963. Just as they always have. (A fact I've also documented in this thread.)
Maybe if you were open to the truth and would actually read my posts, you would have already known this.
Still plenty of words posted here....
Has anyone actually found a First National Bank of Chicago endorsement or an FRB endorsement on the Magic Money Order for the Magic Rifle?
Sandy Larsen has demonstrated many times that bank stamps were required on processed Postal Money Orders in the early 1960s. Where are they on the alleged payment for the rifle that allegedly killed President Kennedy?
Can anyone find ANY bank endorsement on this so-called money order? Please, Hank Sienzant, show me an actual endorsement from an actual bank... not a rubber stamp allegedly from Kleins.
Have you found a real bank endorsement?
Where is it?

Endorsed to the order of any bank...
The Money Order in question has that...
It reads:
PAY TO THE ORDER OF
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CHICAGO
50 91144
KLEINS SPORTING GOODS, INC.
So it appears you proved the money order has the correct stamp, and all is in good order.

Hank,
Bingo!
Thank you for presenting this to us in such an easy to understand way.

Nonsense. There is no mark or endorsement of any kind from the First National Bank of Chicago, which there should be. Nor is there a mark or endorsement from the district FRB or national FRB. No one has ever said there was no rubber stamp appearing to be from Kleins on the money order. That is obvious.

DONALD DUCK SAID:These Warren Commission defenders really quack me up. They say an uncashed, undeposited, unendorsed magic money order is proof of uh… uhm… something Really Important. My nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie know more about this.HUEY DUCK SAID:That's right, Uncle Donald. The magic money order was for $21.45, the price of the $19.95 magic rifle with scope from Kleins plus postage. The FBI analyzed the handwriting on the ordering materials and told the Dallas Police it was the handwriting of “Lee Harvey Oswald.” The FBI is Really Famous and they know about everyone's handwriting!DEWEY DUCK SAID:Almost as famous as our boss, Walt Disney. On November 23, slightly famous Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry announced the FBI's findings, that the handwriting on the order for a $12.78 rifle with scope was definitely from “Lee Harvey Oswald.” But, hey, wait a minute… wasn't it really a $19.95 rifle?LOUIE DUCK SAID:Silly! This was Magic Handwriting, it could move wherever J. Edgar Hoover wanted it to! Mr. Hoover was Really, Really, Famous! Almost as famous as Uncle Donald. And besides, someone said there was a File Locator Number on the Magic Money Order, proving it was as legit as you and Aunt Daisy.DONALD DUCK SAID:That proves it then! Extra numbers always mean everything is fine. No one could possibly add more numbers when they're making something up.JIM HARGROVE SAID:Man, this so-called rifle evidence is really Ducked Up!

Anonymous tipsters play an incredibly important role on 11-22 and 11-23-63 re the rifle.
They are grossly under-appreciated by JFK researchers.
They are co-conspirators who helped greatly to frame Marina's husband.
Meant to add this earlier but got sidetracked....
According to The Fourth Decade, July 1997, p. 6, early WC critic Leo Sauvage “asked Dallas Assistant District Attorney Jim Bowie whether a telephone call had led to Oswald's arrest. Bowie told him there was a call from the cashier [Julia Postal], but also that there were 'Half a dozen calls!'”
If that's true, it pretty clear the conspirators were taking no chances that their patsy would escape the police.

On Labor Day weekend prior to the assassination, a fellow calling himself “Lee Oswald” visited the Baycliff, Texas home of Robert McKeown and tried to buy four .300 Savage rifles with scopes, eventually offering to pay the ridiculous price of $10,000, according to McKeown's sworn HSCA testimony. McKeown was currently on probation after a conviction for selling guns to Fidel Castro and his troops. (After the revolution Castro flew to Houston and met personally with McKeown at the airport. Castro tried to convince McKeown to return to Cuba with him and offered him a number of inducements, including a high position in the Cuban government. McKeown turned him down, but the men remained close friends.)The original plan for the rifle, I'm convinced, was to have it trace back to Fidel Castro's personal friend and gun runner, Robert McKeown. When it became known that the assassination rifle was from Castro's own weapon supplier, Americans could easily be whipped into a frenzy and an invasion of Cuba assured.McKeown, though, smelled a rat and refused to sell to “Oswald.” Although there was still more than two months until the assassination, the selection of the gun, and its placement into evidence, now had to be improvised, and the sloppiness shows. Compare it to the brilliance of selecting Oswald as the patsy. With his ties to the FBI as a low-level informant, he was a sure bet to force Hoover into immediate cover-up mode. With his ties to American intel, he was a walking dead man the minute JFK was killed.The rifle though, from the magic money order and the FBI's obvious confusion in the first days after the hit and the magic bullet it allegedly fired, is a real Achilles heel in an otherwise masterful plot.

Do you see the significance that the FBI talked about a $12.78 rifle little more than 24 hours after JFK was KILLED? Look at the FBI's own timeline!

By the way, David, why are you bringing Albert Doyle into this? He doesn't even post here.So? John Armstrong doesn't post here either, and yet this forum is packed with Armstrong quotes.
[LAUGH] OK, fine, but JA is quite wealthy and is entirely capable of defending himself and his family against even a medium-sized army of weaponized Harvey&Lee critics. My guess is that most other Americans, including me and Albert, are hardly as fortunate. Seems kind of creepy to bring a civilian into this without his permission, which is exactly what you did.

You're preaching to the choir, Jon. If you want to understand this case, buy yourself a used microfilm reader for fifty bucks or so, and then buy the "FBI Series 2" microfilm set from UMI (a New York Times subsidiary) for, I suspect, several hundred dollars, and start reading. In a week or less, you'll understand this case even better than you do now.

ALBERT DOYLE SAID:
Hargrove is saying [the] FBI deliberately reported the incorrect $12.78 price because they were adjusting for the phony Dial Ryder installation of a scope.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
But the FBI didn't even interview Dial Ryder until Monday, November 25th. So that theory is dead in the water before it ever gets off the ground.
Oh, puh-lease….Dial Ryder allegedly found the repair ticket Saturday morning 11/23 (though no witnesses could confirm it). By Sunday the 24th, Channel 8 newsman Ray Johns told DPD Detective Faye Turner that he had received an anonymous call stating that Oswald had his rifle sighted Nov. 21 at the gun shop where Ryder worked. Another anonymous caller told Detective Turner that the rifle came from Klein's in Chicago.FBI agent Emory Horton showed up at Ryder's house at 8 am Monday morning to escort him to the shop. When Liebeler asked, “How did Horton know to come out to the sports shop?” Ryder replied, “Actually, I don't know….”(Above info from Harvey and Lee, p. 459)The FBI may not have interviewed Ryder until Monday the 25th, but the story was already known at a television station, DPD, and undoubtedly, the FBI.By the way, David, why are you bringing Albert Doyle into this? He doesn't even post here. -
David Von Pein can wave around CD75 and CD87 all he wants, but it is all fruit from the poisoned tree.
They're documents from TWO separate entities --- the FBI and the SS.
Did the Secret Service get together with the FBI guys to make sure they were on the same page regarding putting the $21.45 figure in both of their reports?
In order to understand how the FBI cooked the books in this case, you really have to go through what is titled the “FBI Series 2” microfilm series, quietly published decades ago by UMI. I went through one of the reels from John Armstrong's collection not too long ago. Many documents that weren't officially released until years later appear—unredacted—on that microfilm set. It's weird.Everything of alleged evidentiary value that the Warren Commission saw went through the FBI. In the nearly endless microfilmed reports, FBI personnel included stuff like retyped versions of letters from private citizens, documents from other agencies, and so on.But the WC was not given originals of this evidence. Instead, the FBI provided them with black and white photos. As any questioned documents examiner will tell you, b&w photocopies of documents have extremely limited forensic value. They are just far too easy to alter.The evidence in this case was all funneled through a single agency: the FBI. You will deny it, but we have proven that the Magic Money Order was fraudulently depicted by the FBI and is almost certainly itself a forgery. How can the FBI possibly have analyzed the “Oswald/Hidell” handwriting on the money order and order forms without knowing the correct price clearly shown on those documents? EVERY SINGLE DOCUMENT THAT PASSED THROUGH THE FBI IS QUESTIONABLE. Again, it's all fruit from the poisoned tree. -
A UPI story called “Oswald Case 'Airtight,'” printed in daily newspapers all across the country on 11/24/63, included the following paragraph:
Police Chief Jesse Curry
wove police evidence tighter
around Oswald. He said the
FBI reported that Oswald
bought the Italian 6.5 Carcano
bolt-action rifle with a tele-
scopic sight from a Chicago
mail order house for $12.78.
See a newspaper.com image of the actual story here.
Sure is funny that the FBI would get the price so wrong if it was really in possession of legitimate Kleins records and the magic money order, eh?
Right there in the news report they state that the order was in Oswald's handwriting. So they also SHOULD have known the price of the order, $19.95 for the rifle, or $21.45 including shipping. The price would be RIGHT THERE on the order. Yet they say the price was $12.78! Incredible.
Clearly at that time they either had NO order at all and were lying, or they had a forged order for $12.78. (Or for that price plus shipping.)
They supposedly found the $21.45 money order the night before. If they did have it in hand at that time (which I highly doubt), they surely were still in a state of confusion as how best to handle the mess they were in.
I think this can be considered a smoking gun, Jim. (No pun intended,)
Absolutely! I just found the UPI story a an hour or two ago, and I'm still trying to figure out the repercussions. Prior to reading it, I thought perhaps someone at the FBI believed the evidence that Dial Ryder had installed a scope on the magic rifle, and therefore faked a report of the $12.78 price without a scope. But according to Curry, the FBI mistakenly thought $12.78 was the price of the rifle WITH A SCOPE. I think what happened was that someone at the FBI misread one or more of the Kleins ads, which usually showed the rifle with a scope right a above the price without a scope. It can be confusing at a quick glance.
As you say, it strains credulity that the Bureau could analyze the handwriting as Oswald/Hidell's on documents listing a wildly incorrect price. It also suggests that they were making up the story before they even had their forged documents in place. How many other innocent schmucks were convicted on this kind of crap.
I believe part of the reason we've seen more than a half century of cover-up artists defending the WC is that if people understood how the FBI and probably lots of local police departments simply fabricated evidence out of whole cloth, it would suddenly become far more difficult to gain convictions throughout our court system.
As I said before, I no longer think the Dial Ryder business had anything to do with the FBI's mistake in cooking the fraudulent evidence. I think someone at the Bureau, involved in the task of framing Oswald, mis-read one of the Kleins advertisements, thinking that the $12.78 price referred to the rifle with a scope. If you look at the ads, it is easy to make that mistake, and someone at the FBI fell right into it.
As Sandy Larsen pointed out, this is a smoking gun proving that the FBI not only lied to the Dallas Police Department about the details of the Kleins purchase, but it also puts another nail into the coffin of the Magic Money Order. THE FBI LIED AND FORGED EVIDENCE ABOUT THE RIFLE! David Von Pein can wave around CD75 and CD87 all he wants, but it is all fruit from the poisoned tree. Many witnesses have come forward to say that both the FBI and the WC altered their statements in significant ways. The FBI even had a procedure outlined to alter testimony, even over the objections of WC attorneys.

You REALLY can't figure this out, Jim?
I think it's fairly clear that the FBI just simply didn't release the EXACT DOLLAR AMOUNT ($21.45) that appeared on the front of the money order. So the media people were going with the CURRENT Nov. '63 price for the gun (without the scope)--$12.78.
But we know the FBI and Secret Service--on Nov. 23!--had the info regarding the exact dollar amount ($21.45), because CD75 and CD87 that I've linked dozens of times in this thread verify that fact.
So why would you think anything is "magic" or suspicious about this at all? Do you think BOTH of those documents (CD75 & CD87)---which are from TWO different agencies (the FBI and the SS)---are fake documents?
You're right, David, I can't figure out why you're speculating so wildly here.You want us to believe that the FBI released information about the magic rifle the day after the assassination, including the date of purchase, the vendor, and a handwriting analysis of the alleged orderer, and the fact that the orderer used an alias, but that it then withheld the price of the rifle so that news media all across the country could GUESS what the price might have been. AND you want us to believe that all the different reporters were completely wrong about the price, but came up with the EXCAT SAME INCORRECT PRICE, even though THREE DIFFERENT PRICES were shown just in the three or four little ads you entered into this thread. Not only that, but EVERY SINGLE REPORT I've seen failed to point out that the list price, often presented in the same paragraph as the rest of the information that could only have come from the FBI, was a GUESS, a GUESS made on the basis of multiple prices advertised for the weapon. Despite your speculation, the best reading of this evidence is that the FBI on 11/23 indicated the rifle cost $12.78, just as all those news stories reported so confidently.Here's on thing that might have happened: Someone other than Dial Ryder put repair tag #18374 with Oswald's name on it on Dial Ryder's workbench in the Irving Sports Shop gun store near Dallas. The repair, according to the tag, was to "drill and tap" and "bore sight" something that belonged to "Oswald." And so someone at the the FBI felt it would be safe to indicate that "Hidell" purchased the rifle from Klein's at the cost without a scope, $12.78. But the Ryder story soon fell apart, and now the FBI had to make the $12.78 price go away. It was easy to make it vanish from FBI internal documents, but removing it from scores of American news reports was simply impossible.And so the tap dance began. Magic media reports, a magic money order, a magic rifle that fired magic bullets... enough magic to make Harry Potter blush! -
This just makes my point even clearer. Frank Reynolds, like the NYT reporters and many others, was getting the information on handwriting analysis, date of purchase, and price of the rifle from the only source that put forward that information: The FBI.
Of course it was coming from the FBI originally, Jim. Who ELSE would you expect it to be coming from?
Thank you for the concession, David. Thank you for admitting that the scores of original radio, television, and newspaper accounts of a $12.78 rifle allegedly purchased from Kleins on March 20, 1963 by "A. Hidell," whose handwriting by Nov. 23 was supposedly matched by the FBI to the handwriting of "Lee Harvey Oswald," was indeed information that originated from the FBI... not from Jesse Curry... not from Frank Reynolds... not from NYT or other print reporters guessing about the price of the rifles by skimming through the Kleins catalog and print media ads! Thank you for admitting that this information quite obviously came from the FBI--and nowhere else!
But....
Why would the FBI report that the magic rifle cost only $12.78 if it was already in possession of all those magical documents suggesting the actual cost of the rifle to "Hidell/Oswald" was $21.45? The FBI already had all the paperwork from Kleins, right? They'd already analyzed the handwriting on the order paperwork, right? And that uncashed, unendorsed magical Postal money order you continue to defend by sheer speculation had a face value of $21.45, didn't it? Someone really needs to explain all this magic!

I've been reading Don's 2014 book entitled Hidden History: An Expose of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics. Even though I'm only about a hundred pages into it, I can heartily recommend it to everyone.It begins with a withering destruction of the Official Story of the JFK assassination, familiar territory for many of us, but notable nevertheless for the breadth of the carnage in a frugal 50 pages or so. Don calls the JFK hit "The Mother of All Conspiracies," and then goes on to pretty much prove his point.Things turn even more interesting in subsequent chapters, about the Sixties, Seventies, the Reagan Years ("Trickle Down Treachery") the Clinton Years, the Death of John Kennedy, Jr., 9/11, Dubya and More Dubya, and so on well into the Obama Administration. One of Don's talents is the clarity of his thought and writing, which results in a concise and convincing portrayal of often complex events.His insights are sometimes stunning. For example, as a young man in the 1960s I thought the apparently anti-establishment antics of people like Abbie Hoffman and the Yippies was an attempt to end the the U.S.'s growing involvement in perpetual warfare in SE Asia. But Mr. Jeffries poses a number of simple questions about these demonstrators. First and foremost was this: Why did none of the Chicago Eight offer any criticisim of the official story of the Kennedy assassination, which obviously opened the door to the wholesale slaughter in Asia?Other readers well versed in the Kennedy Assassination probably will find Don's book a refreshingly broad look at both the Kennedy Assassination and the last 50 years of our hidden history, written by a true kindred spirit. No doubt his class will be equally entertaining and informative.

Handwriting, analyzed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington as Oswald's on an assumed-name order to a Chicago mail order house last March 20 for a $12.78 rifle, similar to the assassination weapon. -- NYT Wire Service, 11/23/63
Newspaper reporters on 11/23 hardly learned from Klein advertisements that the magic rifle had been purchased on March 20 and that the FBI had already analyzed the handwriting on the ordering material and declared it to be "Oswald's." The information reported could have come ultimately from no place other than the FBI, and why would that information not include the price? The reporters were given the handwriting analysis verdict and the order date and then they guessed at the price? Does that seem like the most logical interpretation of this evidence to you?
Every element of the rifle order story smells really bad. Here's just the first: We are to believe that Oswald left his job at Jaggers-Chiles-Stovall on the morning of March 12, walked 11 blocks to the downtown Dallas Post Office, purchased the money order, and then walked several miles to the "zone 12" postal area across the Trinity River to mail it, where it was postmarked 10:30 am March 12. All this on the very morning when J-C-S records indicate he worked continuously on nine different printing jobs from 8 am to 12:15 pm.
I'm not going to continue with the many problems of the official story now, but there are clearly many others.
-
Warren Commission loyalists want us to believe that this uncashed, unendorsed money order is legitimate proof of purchase by “A. Hidell” of a rifle that was shipped to Hidell via a Dallas P.O. Box under the name of “Oswald,” contrary to U.S. postal regulations, for a price of… well… first it was $12.78 for a rifle without a scope as pointed out by dozens of American dailies for nearly a week after the assassination.
As one example of many, a Nov. 23 article by the New York Times wire service, picked up in daily newspapers in many cities, including the Nov. 24 Salt Lake Tribune, reported the following: “Handwriting, analyzed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington as Oswald's on an assumed-name order to a Chicago mail order house last March 20 for a $12.78 rifle, similar to the assassination weapon.”
When the saga of Dial Ryder and the scope didn't pan out, the FBI apparently lost all its reports of a $12.78 rifle without a scope. But, like magic, "Oswald's handwriting" suddenly appeared on a new and improved money order, this time for $21.45 for a rifle with a scope.
A magic money order to purchase a magic rifle that shot magic bullets. It was truly an age of miracles!
