I am not seeing that, Paul. I am seeing "53-62: CIA, Security Off, Washington" .... in this document: https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2018/104-10123-10421.pdf

I can't help but point out that the name "Liddy" would fit well in one of those frequently repeated redactions. (I am 15 pages in......) P.16. If we are to guess that some redactions were overlooked, the redacted name could be "Wiley". P.18. More on the World Youth Festival

And he is still alive.... Who has the gnads to call him up and ask him if you could stop by with doughnuts and coffee?

Well, when I first started to read about the WYF, I started to try to place LHO there, as opposed to being on the boat to Europe. I though I would be stretching things if I tried to post about such an assignment. I would have had to delve deeply into LHO's timeline, Josephs-style.

That's great David, WIROGUE and QJWIN living in the same hotel.

Thanks to David Josephs for this document. Early-on it touches upon the activities of James McCord Jr. In 1955. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2018/157-10011-10121.pdf

Thanks David, A few pages in and two things that have been on my fork, with my mouth wide open, jumped from the page: The World Youth Festival and James McCord Jr. P. 5 Redact first came to the official attention of the Office of Security and 9 September 1955, when redact (Executive Officer, OS) forwarded a letter written by redact to redact, ( Chief, Personnel Seurity Division, OS), Who in turn directed the letter to James W McCord [Security Research Staff of the Office of Security (SRS).

In the paragraph I posted there is a “records release “ link. That link wired for me. Then there is an intro paragraph that has a link to an excel file. That also worked for me. I will try to share that link in a minute. Here is that link https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/jfk4819b57d9c3f3ef854e15e88385508c8.xlsx That link is found on the page to which you navigate when you click the “records tease “ link mentioned above. Here is a copy-paste of the paragraph that has the spreadsheet link. ” Accessing the Release Files The table below displays metadata about all the released documents. You can also download the spreadsheet as an Excel file (4.7MB).”

Hi Bart, I made an iquiry and I received a response, quoted below. The response directs the reaseacher to download a PDF file and make a search. I am using an iPad and have never used "Numbers" before, so I struggled for a bit without any luck. Perhaps the response below might help you. Cheers, Michael Michael Clark: This is response to your request for information form the JFK Assassination Records Collection. Specifically you are interested in Serials 5712 and 5713 from Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) HQ Case File 105-82555. Serial 5712 (RIF Number 124-10173-10082) is open in full and available for public review. Serial 5713 (RIF 124-10173-10081) had redactions on the first page. That page was released as part of the 2017 release. You can find the recently released page online by going to our web page about JFK Records Release and opening the Excel document linked to there. You will want to run a Find search using 124-10173-10081 as your search term. You should get one hit. It is a PDF copy of the first page. It has not yet been interfiled with the rest of the records.

I find these two documents to be fascinating..... The Iguvine tablets.... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iguvine_Tablets And the Lapis Niger (or, more accurately, the inscription found thereapon.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapis_Niger In an imaginary world I would have friends with whom who I could discuss this kind of stuff, but that is not the case. If I did, and I was going to give a friend the low down on what I think the Lapis Niger says, I would tell them that it is a warning, like a road construction sign, that passers-by should take care while passing the coming religious precinct. They should take care because there may be religious ceremonies goin on and auguries being taken and they should not disturb these rituals, under pain of punishment of the King. Indeed, one should remove the yoke from his oxen such that the chance that their ox might drop a loaf would be reduced. Now, I know almost nothing about Latin. The Latin inscribed on the Lapis Niger is very old and obscure. It is sometimes claimed to be the oldest Latin inscription known. Indeed, to me, it looks a bit like Greek, literally. Expert attempts at translation frequently point out that their attempts are a best-effort, and its meaning is still obscure. So, my hypothetical pal, to whom I would be bantering, would get a similar qualification from me. Yet, now, I have discovered a translation of a portion of the Iguvine Tablets which illustrates quite well the kind of message which I think the Lapis Niger is attempting to purvey. Here it is, a copy and paste from Wikipedia..... " VI Side a Lustration of the arx Introductory auspices: As in 1, the sacrifice is to be preceded by the taking of the auspices. Formulae passed between the augur and the arfertur (legum dictio); warning against noises, interruptions, meddling; boundaries of the augural templum; formulae of announcement of the auspices (conspectio, nuntiatio); prescriptions applying to the ensuing sacrifice concerning the military rod (pirsca arsmatia), the disposition of the pots and the fire." And that ends my post. Cheers, Michael

An informative Document on Nosenko and Golitsyn. The first page is dated to March of 1963, the next two seem to be of a different provenance. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2018/124-10365-10006.pdf

Excellent article, Douglas. Thanks for posting it.

An interesting document regarding Secret Service protection of Presidents, First Ladies and Former Presidents, First Ladies and families. Pinging Vince Palmera on this... https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/177-10001-10180.pdf

Rich, What is name of your book?

The above quoted from the thread that was shared by Pam. I wonder if Talbot provides more insight, elsewhere, into any RFK interference into the Garrison investigation.

Interesting thread you have shared Pamela. I gave it a once-over and will return to it. Thanks to recent document releases I can look at this topic In a manner which I would not have recently been able. If RFK was suspect of Garrison, I must consider the possibility the he was, or RFK believed him to be, a diversion, or possibly led down a false path. The recent documents to which I am referring are pushing me, with regard to the extent of Mob complicity, control and initiation, to Los Angeles. I am thinking of Frank DiSimonne, Nicole Licata, David Yaras, Los Angeles and Vegas kingpins and politicians, and Jewish mobsters with their interests and assets in Havana and Miami, respectively. If RFK knew or believed this to be true, he would have seen NOLA and Garrison as a diversion. He would also have know, like JFK in Dallas, the danger in which he placed himself by going there in 1968. The Jewish mob connection to the assassination is one which has not been on my radar; despite Jack Ruby's near hysterical warnings and expression of fear for his people when he said "Now there will be pogroms. They will kill all the Jews.". The whole motivation of Ruby is more clear than it was before the recent document release.

My apologies if I have missed it but I am wondering why I can't find this document in the Archives or on MFF? ---------------------------------------- Also, I would note that Frankfurt seems to be CIA-Central for Europe. In my research of of CIA location codes I have come to the tentative conclusion that cities that generate, from the documents, two location codes, one including a 20, have a large or regional CIA HQ; with Frankfurt being the big daddy outside of Langley. The Hague and Luxembourg also have a "20" in their location code. Another bit of speculation is that the existence of 2 location codes for a city is making a distinction between an individual traveling to/from or being present in a particular city as opposed to traveling to/from or being present in the CIA station in that same city. The "20" indicator indicating the CIA station.

Dupe

To be sure, I am not challenging your claims of past employment. That would be against forum rules. You are not understanding my point, however, so I’ll drop the subject.

That's rich, Rich.

No problem.

Sorry Rich, this is the Internet. That doesn't do me any good. The fact that you would present that in lieu of the evidence, which I suggested you should present, only hurts your case instead of helping it, in my world anyway. Sincerely, Michael
