    15-10 (?) redacted (as per Post #  16, Bern)

    The above  and below documents lead me to speculate that 15-18 is Zurich.

    I've found that many of the page counts are wrong...

    And to that extent.. 200 page docs are 3....

    Thanks David, I was just double-checking myself. This morning, that PDF link went to an archives link that said" Document not found", and I tried it several times and in different forms. It definitely changed since this morning. Also, I have found that page counts on these entries to be accurate, until now. To be sure, those links bring me to the same document that you posted (thanks again) which is 11  pages.

    In fact, I still have a "page not found" window open from this morning, with that URL in the Navigation pane. I took a screen shot.

    Hi Paz, that first link is a very long set of documents. Can you tell us anything about it or draw our attention to anything in that document?

    ****edit.. the three links amount to over 700 pages. Can your help us focus as we read them?

    :cheers

    Thanks David, yet the  NARA entry lists the document as running 191 pages.

    (My apologies for my copy-pastes of snippets of these PDF's. I have no idea how they look on anything other than my iPad) here is left side of that entry, cut off in my previous post, indicating 191 pages. The Black Vault also shows 191 pages in their clickable 3000 + page index.

    Google him.

    His Facebook is easily found.  He has also written a few notes here and there on the net, even apologized for some mistakes in his writings. 

    I fail to see how someone can come here, literally insult everyone, and then act like he was the one being attacked. 

    What a waste of time.

    He expects us to research who he is???

    LOL. Ok.

    When he first showed-up, I found a YouTube video of his; highly produced. I chose not to share it at the time. I cannot find it now. I won't characterize it.

    What was the primary consequence of the failed Bay of Pigs operation?

    The removal of Allen Dulles, Charles Cabell, Richard Bissell -- and the promotion of Richard Helms as chief of clandestine operations.

    Why assume that the primary consequences of an intelligence operation were not the intended results?

    After all, Rusk and Bundy owed their jobs to Robert Lovett, a long-time Dulles opponent.

    Cliff, that is excellent. It is always my approach. I can't say that I am immediately in agreement, after having just now read your argument, but I do appreciate your putting it forth. To be sure it is difficult for me to so quickly move to a conclusion where Kennedy deliberately wanted the operation to fail.

    Mr. Trejo - you used to talk about Oswald as a far rightist masquerading as a socialist. You have also said that you think that, after the Walker assassination attempt, Walker and Banister took control of Oswald and ultimately tried to get him into Cuba to assassinate Castro. Do you still stand behind these points? 

    I'm not sure why you and Jason chose to ignore my post on this thread about Souetre in New Orleans, and about links between Banister and OAS. Garrison surely would not have ignored this kind of evidence if it had come his way, especially considering that it was Clay Shaw that he took to court. 

     

    On 3/14/2018 at 12:41 AM, Paul Brancato said:

    Maybe Trejo will respond to my post on this thread about his stated views that Oswald was a secret right wing radical working with Walker.

    Not sure why I bother to chime in here, since you both ignore my questions and statements. 

     

    On 3/14/2018 at 9:18 AM, Paul Trejo said:

    Paul B.,

    I don't like it when people put words into my mouth.   Nobody does.

    I never, ever stated that Lee Harvey Oswald was working with General Walker.    Never.

    I always stated that Lee Harvey Oswald tried to kill General Walker.   Always.

    Get it right, Brancato.   This is why I ignore your questions and statements; you're sloppy when it comes to my position.

    Sincerely,
    --Paul Trejo

     

     

    On 3/14/2018 at 10:36 AM, Paul Brancato said:

    Paul Trejo - how dishonest of you. To be more accurate, something your response fails to do, you stated many times on this forum that Walker and Banister took control of Oswald after he tried to kill Walker, that they sent him to New Orleans, and subsequently to Mexico with Cuba and killing Castro as his ultimate task. You also stated many times that it was obvious to you that Oswald was a fake socialist, a right wing radical. 

     

    Yup, Paul Trejo tries to dodge, weave, and worse. Paul Trejo's fiction is that Bannister and David Phillips wanted Oswald to kill Castro, and sent him to Mexico City to get an "instant visa" to Cuba, with his rifle in his duffle bag, to try and shoot Castro.

    Hi Paul,

    General Walker's initial explanation of Oswald is that he is a commie, part of the dangerous cell of Dallas commies.  This is early 1964 and he makes this claim in one of his radio broadcasts.   By the summer of 1964, Walker's story has changed.   Now Walker says Oswald is in a CIA plot along with Ruby.  Walker basically adopts something of the CIA-did-it conspiracy theory Garrison began which lives on today.

    Why the change in Walker's public rendition of Oswald from commie to CIA?

     

    Jason

    Repeating Jason's remark: "...Walker basically adopts something of the CIA-did-it conspiracy theory Garrison began  which lives on today.."

    ........................

     

    Jason, How could Walker be adopting, in the Summer of 1964, a Garrison theory that did not crop--up until years later?

     

    That is quite a theory, Jason. It requires an ability to look into the future. I understand that you want to credit Walker with capabilities on which few others are willing to bet their credibility, but I think that is going too far. 

    If I thought that this thread was an open debate, and I had not been placed on ignore by you and Paul Trejo, I would have worded this differently, but, such as things are, rhetorical devices are necessary.

    Cheers

    What "others have concluded" is that we know NEXT TO NOTHING about Oswald's time and associations between clearing British customs in Southampton until his arrival in Helsinki.

    So what part of "what others have concluded" does this conflict with?

    Yup, Jason inserts a mythical epidemic of Conspitacy-Theory-itis, at every turn, and where none exists.

  12. Was Bagely a sadistic, myopic torturer? His later claims about Nosenko are very likely clouded by that part of human nature which demands that we justify what we have done in order to absolve ourselves of guilt. He was also likely incompetent and dangerously-so.

    13 October 1970

    MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

    Subject: BAGELY, Tennant, Harrington

    #386 38

    1) On Wednesday, 7 October 1970 I briefed Colonel L. K. White, Executive  Director-Controller on certain reservations I have concerning the proposed promotion of Bagely to a supergrade position.

     2)  I was very careful to explain to Colonel White at the outset that my reservations had nothing whatsoever to do with Bagely's security status. I explained that it was my conviction that Bagely was almost exclusively responsible for the manner in which the Nosenko case had been handled by our SR division. I said I considered that Bagely lacked objectivity and that he had displayed extremely poor judgment over a two year period in the handling of this case. Specifically as one example of Bagely's extreme prejudice I pointed out that the SR division had neglected to follow up several leads provided by Nosenko which subsequently had been followed up by this office (Bruce Solie) and that this lead us to individuals who have confessed their recruitment and use by the Soviets over an extensive period of time.

    3)  I explained further that Bagely displayed extremely poor judgment in the actions he took during that time that  Nosenko was incarcerated at ISOLATION. On many occasions, as the individual responsible for Nosenko's care, I refuse to condone Bagely's  instructions to my people who are guarding him. In one instance Bagely insisted that  Nosenko's food ration be reduced to black bread and water three times daily. After I had briefed Colonel White, he indicated that he would refresh the Director's memory on Bagely's role in the Nosenko case at the time he reviews supergrade promotions.
