Rip Robertson noted that when he was training Perez's team, they were more interested in the infiltration procedures than in ex-filtration procedures. There was an 8/23/63 report from Victor Garcia (Guanantamo Naval Base) that Eddie Perez and his team had a fire fight with members of Castro's militia and had inflicted major casualties. Perez had lost two men in the fight - Thomas Vaquero and Rolando Rodriguez. Angel Luis Castillo, Bayo's brother-in-law, approached Martino about recruiting Rip Robertson to infiltrate Castillo and his men to help ex-filtrate Perez and his remaining men. Robertson turned down Martino's request. Angel Luis Castillo was an asset of ACSI (Army Intelligence). Perez (CIA crypt AMDENIM-11) had gone on previous missions with the CIA Paramilitary officers that went with him on Operation Tilt - Rudy Enders and Mickey Kappes. Kappes was closely associated with Alberto Fernandez (AMDENIM-1), Tony Cuesta (AMDENIM-14) and Larry Laborde (AMDENIM-4). Laborde was close friends with Gerry Hemming. Fernandez was the owner of the Tejana. The Tejana was used in many infiltration missions into Cuba, both proceeding and after the Bay of Pigs.

Hi Paul, Col. Haig was indeed Alexander Haig. Col William Bishop is also the same guy as Clarence Ward Bishop. Bishop did work for Tabernilla. Tabernilla "promoted" him to Colonel. Bishop was running a training camp for Tabernilla and later Rolando Masferrer. Felipe and Ivan Vidal also trained there with Bishop.

Larry, I've only looked at the Miami DCD. This major branch was run by Justin Gleichauf. Two of his guys were USAF Lt. Col Manny Chavez and Luis Rodriguez. Chavez was Col. William Bishop's main contact. DCD was responsible for the Caribbean Admissions Center. They had first dibs on any possible assets. Col Sam Kail also worked there.

Ron, As far as a shooter arriving from SE Asia, I'd suggest looking at Evan Marshall's posts. He describes meeting him.

ACSI used DUP crypts. I believe that DUP was used for assets in Puerto Rico. Veciana was DUP-748 and Eloy Guiterrez-Memoyo was DUP-749. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=155085

Jim, Ruby must have been an informant. 🙂 Strange mix there. McKeown knew Ruby, Oswald, Prio, Hernandez, Davis and Castro.

Jim/Steve/Ron, et al. AMBIDDY/1 mentioned above was Manuel Artime. Henry Hecksher was his case office and was tasked with the AMWORLD project which was the "autonomous" anti-Castro initiative that was based in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. This was just getting started at this time. David Morales and Ted Shackley would later train Artime and Rafael Quintero on intelligence activities. Didn't John Martino say that LHO was to meet his contact at the Texas Theater, flown out of the country and killed?

Bill and Gavin McDonald have been tireless in finding and expanding on new and old cryptonyms. You can explore the work that they (and Michael Clark!) have done here - https://www.maryferrell.org/php/cryptdb.php

Old and out of date but it exposes some of the people that were in Milteer's circle.

Well he did visit Dallas. Just not sure of the exact date. R.E. Davis was Roy Davis, head of the Dallas KKK. Davis was a friend of Lt. George Butler. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=120097&search=Milteer#relPageId=18&tab=page Oswald doesn't know anything. He was jubilant.

Agreed Larry. Alan is a first class researcher and author.

He was indeed Greg. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10304&search="agency_JCS"#relPageId=3&tab=page

Sorry, I should have been a little clearer. The guy from SE Asia.

Evan, Korean War vet?

Nosenko identified 9 Soviets, one was a major in the Pentagon. This doc is also a must read for Watergate, surveillance, etc https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1398&search="lee_pennington"#relPageId=19&tab=page

Interesting. Coyle did mention a Colonel Boyd with the 112th (another Colonel for Steve). 🙂

AARB working with Joan Higdon. I haven't found the actual interview yet. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=207896&relPageId=1&search=joan_higdon

Paul said: "Plan C" was to kill "Oswald" in the Texas Theater, and had not "Oswald" shouted at the top of his lungs "I am not resisting arrest, I am not resisting arrest" it seems certain he would have been shot right there. Paul, "Plan C" is interesting. John Martino stated that Oswald was to meet his contact in the Texas Theater and get flown out of the country where he would be eliminated. He kept changing seats to see if his contact provided some form of recognition. I'm speculating but I believe it was a torn-in half-dollar bill. John Armstrong noted that Oswald had in his possession when arrested 2 torn in half dollar bills. He also provided a doc showing that AMBIDDY-1, real name Manuel Artime, used this method also. Artime's case officer and AMWORLD contact officer was Henry Hecksher signer of this doc. Fonzi noted in The Last Investigation that Artime had "guilty knowledge" of the assassination. As noted from https://harveyandlee.net/Tippit/Tippit.html about 1/3 of the way down: After HARVEY Oswald was arrested, the police found halves of two different dollar bills in his wallet. This was a CIA method of clandestine contact (review CIA memorandum of 7/9/63 below). Wherever and whenever Oswald met his contact, this person would provide confirmation of his or her identity by showing the other half of these dollar bills. Curiously, neither of these half-dollar bills were listed on the police inventory of 11/23/63, the joint FBI/Dallas Police inventory of Oswald's possessions on 11/26/63, nor were these items photographed. At the National Archives, in Adelphi, MD, I inspected and handled each item of inventory listed on the joint FBI/Dallas Police inventory of 11/26/63. These items were not among the inventory nor were they ever mentioned by the Warren Commission. They are, however, described in detail on a Dallas Police inventory report.

Here's a great doc to do some further research on. I believe McCord was Wiley's case officer. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=148835&search=mccord#relPageId=1&tab=page Here's a few items I've picked out: McCord as Case Officer (to Wiley?) https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=148835&relPageId=97&search=mccord J.

Pate's statement to the FBI. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=58972&search=col_pate#relPageId=55&tab=page

An old post here: Last week we reported Hemming’s identification of Nestor Izquierdo, a black Cuban member of Brigade 2506, as the spotter in the Dal-Tex Building. We also reported Izquierdo’s close relationship with Rip Robertson, a CIA operative who ran a CIA front company on Stock Island hauling packs of arms into Cuba before the Bay of Pigs. Robertson captained one of the two boats delivering members of Brigade 2506 into the ill-fated Bay of Pigs. Some believe Robertson may have been involved in the assassination, a belief fueled by a photograph of a man watching the motorcade in Dealey Plaza who bears a striking resemblance to Robertson, as well as by Robertson’s close association with flashy Mafioso Johnny Rosselli who was involved in the CIA’s plots to kill Castro. FBI reports indicate Rosselli met twice in Miami with Jack Ruby in the months preceding the assassination. Izquierdo was also close to Rafael Quintero and Manuel Artime. In August of 1963 Izquierdo was also an asset of JMWAVE.
