Do you think it had anything to do with the Mali Federation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mali_Federation Steve Thomas From other Docs, IIRC, his cover was to sell vending machines. With the art merchant cover, mentioned above, and, IIRC, other covers mentioned elsewhere, it seems like his handlers were always trying to find him something to keep him busy. I am also curious as to what signifficance Dakar plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Clark Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Overall I think the above docs go the furthest in confirming that QJWIN IS Mankel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that? As for Mali, it might be significant that it was a French colony at the time. it would not be too surprising that expeses were incurred in Florida, as Harvey was attached to JMWAVE until his ‘banishment’, btw away from the prying eyes of RFK who wanted him fired, to Rome.

It’s a combination of the volume of references, the confidence of the author, and the manner and approach to the subject. To be sure Paul, you have asked, on several occasions, if we have anything besides CIA Docs equating Mankel with QJWIN. In this doc, we have a Rockefeller Commission writer, who is charged with investigating QJWIN, who never even raises the question of the Mankel ID. I think this is as close as we have gotten, that I know of, to fulfilling your desire for documentation from outside the CIA. Quote As for Mali, it might be significant that it was a French colony at the time. Yes, (was it Mali then, and not Senegal?) and very international.

Larry Hancock days that there were QJWIN offices in a few US locations, including California. He thinks it doesn’t refer only to an individual, but possibly an operation as well. Any docs you find are worth posting. I’m still interested in the offshore funding for AMLASH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Hancock Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 It appears that both Staff D and the crypt QJWIN appear to have been used as financial covers for disbursements that were highly compartmentalized vest pocket operations involving only a handful of officers - largely shielded from the formal Branch and Directorate administrative procedures. You have someone very senior ordering an activity and then a couple of field officers involved, very peripheral CIA assets used, and then we only learn about it because somebody, somewhere had to sign off on travel expenses or payments. Certainly that is true for the Congo, its also true for the Harvey/Roselli Castro assassination project. Apparently John Newman knows of at least one other instance where QJWIN was used but I've been unable to get any detail on that. I don't really think there were QJ/WIN offices but it seems that the crypt was used by more than one office, both overseas and in the second phase of the Cuba project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Thomas Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I apologize if this has been mentioned before, but a rather concise bibliography of the QJWIN documents seem to have been gathered by C.A.A. Savastano in his book, Two Princes and a King. https://www.tpaak.com/project-zrrifle/ Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
