Chuck Robbins Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Nice to hear from you again. Your input has always been interesting, informative, and, nearly always, met with much resistance. Considering the type of work you've done it doesn't surprise me at all that your records might contain a few inconsistencies. You have your hands tied, i think. If you reveal information which is still "classified" you would certainly be prosecuted and spend the rest of your life in prison. I think the fact that you still try to guide people to where they may find some answers is admirable. Thanks for coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas H. Purvis Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 He also answered Greg Parker's many questions. Dawn, Here is a complete (but probably not chronological) list of the questions I've put, with answers received: Q: Is it now accepted that Tosh's enlistment into the National Guard was legal? A: No response [current comment. Question was based on incorrect premise, as it now appears it was not legal] Q: If not, why not? A: No response [current comment. Those two questions were based on an incorrect premise, as it now appears it was not legal] Q: The separation form indicates zero overseas service. Was this an innocent error, or deliberate cover-up? A: No response Q: How does the separation form help support the VA statement concerning being Korean Vet, given that in reality it contradicts it? A: No response Q: The MPs in the DMZ were UN. You were attached to the UN? A: No response Q: Do you believe you were targeted for this [special Ops as a youth] because of your police record? A: I had a choice go into the army or go to Jev until 18 then jail. I was told this by the FBI and the Judge on the case. anyway and they approved my enlistment. Q: Was parental consent requested and granted? A: They (the court close door chambers) told my mother and father it would be best for me, because if I kept going the way I was I would be in prison by the time I was 20. However, they did not sign any papers. I joined anyway They (the court, the FBI, and the Army) new I was in the Texas National Guard as a tank driver, Sherman. My parents did not know I went into the regular army until I came home on leave from Ft Bliss. They just thought I ran away again and the law would bring me back. I was accepted into the regular army and they (the army) knew of my probation and age. In fact my real age and birth date is on my discharge papers which have been posted... as well as where I worked as a aircraft mech at Southwest Airmotive (they got me that job at Southwest.... I agreed to be hon discharged and sent back to Dallas until I turned 18 of which I did. and I went back to work at Southwest (note: I was ran over by a jeep at Ft Bliss in 1954 and was at Wm Baumont Army Hospital for 14 days.) Q: You either want this studied properly, or you don't. Which is it? A: No response Eight questions - two responses. By my reckoning, that's 25% answered... not 100%. However, I'd be glad to be shown wrong if you can point me to where the other answers are. Then Bill Kelly's, answered today. And Purvis's ...but then the nit picking started. Constantly asking about what happended at age 14. If his entry into the Nat'l Guard was done so legally, I now accept, given Tom has pointed out the discharge reason indicates he was a "minor", that it was not legal. As for what happened when he was 14... it appears likely he joined the NG underage, was found out and discharged. After a period of time, he joined the USAR underage and deliberately withheld information about previous enlistment in the NG because he knew that info would tip them off to his real age (through previous serial #). This explains why he was issued a different serial # on this occasion. If Tosh had come clean on this at the outset, no "nitpicking" about it would have been required. if there existed parental signatures and the like. That was one of the only two questions he answered. It was not brought up again. How on earth is this at all relevent to the issue of what Tosh was involved in LATER? It's not directly relevant to what happened later, and I had already acknowledged as much. It does go to the question of reliability. We know that kids got pulled into military/ intel situations. Of course it was not under any "usual" circumstances. Our wonderful government does not play by the rules when it comes to using kids for their dirty deeds. Not that I would word it quite the same way... but agree with the general thrust of it. In fact, I have provided very specific examples in this forum. He said he could handle the hard questions... I didn't think that meant getting into a snit about them. If you, Tosh or anyone else believes I am hindering his ability to get his story out, I'd be happy to call a moratorium on any further comments or questions until he's completed posting the rest of his information. I will then make any comments, ask any questions I think are warranted. He can answer them, ignore them, or complain about them. Entirely his choice. I really would like to believe some positive leads can be generated. Perhaps one should pick a few more "Nits"! 1. The "National Defense" Service Medal is awarded to all members of the NG/USAR/USA/RA, immediately upon enlistment. 2. After one has served for two years in any component, and has not been a "bad boy"/aka received any judicial (Courts Martial) and/or non-judicial punishment (Article 15), one is automatically awarded the "Good Conduct" Medal. 3. For ANY service in the Korean Theater, to include serving on a ship within the Terrirorial Waters, one receives the "Armed Forces Expeditionary Force" Medal (automatically awarded, just as are the National Defense Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, the Vietnam Service and Vietnam Campaign Medals) 4. Full record of RECORDED DAYS OF SERVICE in all components of the Armed Forces (Army in this case) is an ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF INFORMATION, as it represents one's pay status* as well as ultimate represents that information necessary in order to compute time counted in achieving the 20-years of service required for normal retirement benefits. *Example: Most of those who received their Commission to 2nd Lt. with me had less than two years of actual service. Thus, their base pay was approximately $250.00 per month. Due to prior service in the MS National Guard, as well as RA-Enlisted active duty service, I went to "Over-2" years of credited service immediately after having been commissioned, and thusly, my base pay was approximately $500.00 per month. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.tpub.com/content/administration...s/14214_213.htm BASIC PAY The pay of service members is prescribed by law. Members are entitled to receive pay according to their paygrades and years of service if they are on active duty in a pay status and not otherwise prohibited by law from receiving such pay. Basic pay is the primary means of compensating members of the uniformed services. Except for certain periods of unauthorized absence, excess leave, and confinement after an enlistment has expired, every active duty member is entitled to basic pay on a regular basis. The rate of basic pay is determined by a member’s paygrade and length of service. Personnel having the same paygrade and time in service normally make more money than personnel in a lower paygrade and with less time in service. So you can see how paygrade and length of service are factors consider in determining how much a person gets paid Emphasis added! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Correct calculation of actual credited days served in any component of the armed forces is absolutly essential for retirement computation purposes as well as credit for pay purposes. Some of us, who actually have "Credited Time" for service in the "Inactive/aka" National Guard, as well as credited time for "Active/aka RA-enlisted", actually know how to read a DD214, and thusly would not normally be dumb enough to post one which directly contradicts what one is attempting to sell.

If you reveal information which is still "classified" you would certainly be prosecuted and spend the rest of your life in prison. I think the fact that you still try to guide people to where they may find some answers is admirable. Thanks for coming back. I think those of us on 'this side' of the Alice-in-Wonderland' World of covert / black ops et al. can hardly imagine the constraints. An incomplete list would include: - Feeling it not in the interest of one's best interests nor 'health' to speak to classified materials not out in the public to which one might know or have been involved in. - Not wanting to 'out' someone who is a friend who was along with one on something one is speaking out about, but who [the friend] doesn't want to be known as having participated in [i.e. they don't want to speak out about it]. - 'Clean-up squads' or persons so adverse to the information being released, or potentially / possibly released, as to consitute a thread or danger - real or imagined. - 'Places' where one could go with information where one would become possibly liable for legal prosecution for real actions or where there is false paperwork that set one-up as falsely having been involved - when was not [a common way to control low to medium level operatives]. -inability to get access to documents despite FOIA (and other means) or documents being overly redacted. - and others...and all these are not specific to Plumlee - these would apply to many. - This is what I was speaking to to Greg about - that along with some [yes, not all] slightly (or more than slightly) altered documents for some covert operatives made before, during, after the events they are dated for / addressing - it is not a WYSIWYG world.....sadly for the researchers and even for any covert operatives trying to come 'clean', in part or in full. Some of the smoke and mirrors with documents was built into the system....witness [as just one example] Tosh 'officially' being a 'prisoner' at a time he was actively a covert operative and the 'prisoner' status was their cover. That can be turned against him - and was constructed to be so....for then and now. Etc. I happen to believe the money-in-the-locker was real and did involve Roselli, but certain powers-that-be had reason to hide that, and claimed the locker contained only a pair of binoculars. Alice in Wonderland on Owsley Acid wouldn't come close to all this. Read about Nigel. Read about Hemming. Read about Beckham, and so many others. The ultimate seems to be Oswald. It is not an easy job to discern the truth...and it was so constructed. We've made great progress. Let's all work to make more. The fog is clearing the further we get. One needs a great skepticism of statments made, as well [sadly] of some minority of the documentation - and certainly of all the documents withheld! The Cheshire Cat is watching over us all. I think those of us on 'this side' of the Alice-in-Wonderland' World of covert / black ops et al. can hardly imagine the constraints. An incomplete list would include: In that regards," "those of us on "this side'", never cease to be amazed at the absolutly absurd and stupid theories and concepts which some of those on "your side" have generated by their fertile* imaginations. Fertile: As if thoroughly mixed with lots of BS! One nice aspect of having actually shovelled real BS is that one easily and instantly recognizes fake BS when someone attempts to pawn it off on them. Fake BS = Fake fertilization!---------------& one's tomatoes will not grow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were attached to the UN? A: No response Q: Do you believe you were targeted for this [special Ops as a youth] because of your police record? A: I had a choice go into the army or go to Jev until 18 then jail. I was told this by the FBI and the Judge on the case. anyway and they approved my enlistment. Q: Was parental consent requested and granted? A: They (the court close door chambers) told my mother and father it would be best for me, because if I kept going the way I was I would be in prison by the time I was 20. However, they did not sign any papers. I joined anyway They (the court, the FBI, and the Army) new I was in the Texas National Guard as a tank driver, Sherman. My parents did not know I went into the regular army until I came home on leave from Ft Bliss. They just thought I ran away again and the law would bring me back. I was accepted into the regular army and they (the army) knew of my probation and age. In fact my real age and birth date is on my discharge papers which have been posted... as well as where I worked as a aircraft mech at Southwest Airmotive (they got me that job at Southwest.... I agreed to be hon discharged and sent back to Dallas until I turned 18 of which I did. and I went back to work at Southwest (note: I was ran over by a jeep at Ft Bliss in 1954 and was at Wm Baumont Army Hospital for 14 days.) Q: You either want this studied properly, or you don't. Which is it? A: No response Eight questions - two responses. By my reckoning, that's 25% answered... not 100%. However, I'd be glad to be shown wrong if you can point me to where the other answers are. Then Bill Kelly's, answered today. And Purvis's ...but then the nit picking started. Constantly asking about what happended at age 14. If his entry into the Nat'l Guard was done so legally, I now accept, given Tom has pointed out the discharge reason indicates he was a "minor", that it was not legal. As for what happened when he was 14... it appears likely he joined the NG underage, was found out and discharged. After a period of time, he joined the USAR underage and deliberately withheld information about previous enlistment in the NG because he knew that info would tip them off to his real age (through previous serial #). This explains why he was issued a different serial # on this occasion. If Tosh had come clean on this at the outset, no "nitpicking" about it would have been required. if there existed parental signatures and the like. That was one of the only two questions he answered. It was not brought up again. How on earth is this at all relevent to the issue of what Tosh was involved in LATER? It's not directly relevant to what happened later, and I had already acknowledged as much. It does go to the question of reliability. We know that kids got pulled into military/ intel situations. Of course it was not under any "usual" circumstances. Our wonderful government does not play by the rules when it comes to using kids for their dirty deeds. Not that I would word it quite the same way... but agree with the general thrust of it. In fact, I have provided very specific examples in this forum. He said he could handle the hard questions... I didn't think that meant getting into a snit about them. If you, Tosh or anyone else believes I am hindering his ability to get his story out, I'd be happy to call a moratorium on any further comments or questions until he's completed posting the rest of his information. I will then make any comments, ask any questions I think are warranted. He can answer them, ignore them, or complain about them. Entirely his choice. I really would like to believe some positive leads can be generated. Perhaps one should pick a few more "Nits"! 1. The "National Defense" Service Medal is awarded to all members of the NG/USAR/USA/RA, immediately upon enlistment. 2. After one has served for two years in any component, and has not been a "bad boy"/aka received any judicial (Courts Martial) and/or non-judicial punishment (Article 15), one is automatically awarded the "Good Conduct" Medal. 3. For ANY service in the Korean Theater, to include serving on a ship within the Terrirorial Waters, one receives the "Armed Forces Expeditionary Force" Medal (automatically awarded, just as are the National Defense Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, the Vietnam Service and Vietnam Campaign Medals) 4. Full record of RECORDED DAYS OF SERVICE in all components of the Armed Forces (Army in this case) is an ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF INFORMATION, as it represents one's pay status* as well as ultimate represents that information necessary in order to compute time counted in achieving the 20-years of service required for normal retirement benefits. *Example: Most of those who received their Commission to 2nd Lt. with me had less than two years of actual service. Thus, their base pay was approximately $250.00 per month. Due to prior service in the MS National Guard, as well as RA-Enlisted active duty service, I went to "Over-2" years of credited service immediately after having been commissioned, and thusly, my base pay was approximately $500.00 per month. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.tpub.com/content/administration...s/14214_213.htm BASIC PAY The pay of service members is prescribed by law. Members are entitled to receive pay according to their paygrades and years of service if they are on active duty in a pay status and not otherwise prohibited by law from receiving such pay. Basic pay is the primary means of compensating members of the uniformed services. Except for certain periods of unauthorized absence, excess leave, and confinement after an enlistment has expired, every active duty member is entitled to basic pay on a regular basis. The rate of basic pay is determined by a member’s paygrade and length of service. Personnel having the same paygrade and time in service normally make more money than personnel in a lower paygrade and with less time in service. So you can see how paygrade and length of service are factors consider in determining how much a person gets paid Emphasis added! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Correct calculation of actual credited days served in any component of the armed forces is absolutly essential for retirement computation purposes as well as credit for pay purposes. Some of us, who actually have "Credited Time" for service in the "Inactive/aka" National Guard, as well as credited time for "Active/aka RA-enlisted", actually know how to read a DD214, and thusly would not normally be dumb enough to post one which directly contradicts what one is attempting to sell. Sir I respect your tours of duty (if any) and your military lineage. And I respect your opinions of me. If it makes you feel better to slam me and infer I am a xxxx and have never done or been what I say..., then that is O.K. too. I am not here to prove anything to you. However, for you to talk about medals, law, and the likes and apply all that to establish your self serving fact to cover your false observations about something you know nothing about is the mark of a very stupid man. I could question your motives and I too could get into a pisxxing match with you on various matters... but you would not comprehend and would keep rattling about matters you know nothing about...... I will not justified my existence to you are anybody... so you keep on turning and churning and calling "white black" and "black white" the likes.... It makes no difference to me. Sir I don't give a damn who you are or what you think you know about me, or What you think you are in the world of life..... I do not care what you post and I care less about the information feed to you by those who hide behind their BS and get people like you to wash their dirty linen to cover their tracks. I do know them and too, I know their motives..... Your nose is so brown I can see it from here. I know your type; a hanger on from another planet I believe. If you have something to say to me then say it straight out in one complete sentence. You do not have to back it up.., just say it..... I respect your views, but being the type person you are, I do not expect you to respect me or my life. So be it. You go on and suck up this space and others time with your views and expertise and self serving manner. That is ok with me. But if you have to do it... do it professional. Better yet I will say it for you... I'm full of Crap.. (Oh you said that) I have never done the things I have said and proven... OH Yes, You Said That. I did not prove anything its all lies and fabrications in your view. Right? OH you said that.... You have established your point. Now would you care to contribute constructively to the research to this Forum in its search for the truth of the JFK assassination?.. Would you care to record your views and put them out their for others to review and question you on?. Do you have an opinion about this case and can you contribute something factual and constructive one way or the other.... or are you just the type that does not have an opinion... You have an opinion about me and go to pains to express it.... Can you go through that same 'pain" and time, to put your thought down for the members of this forum to evaluate? I think not...its easier to slam me and others and create a false illusion of smoke and mirrors. I have wasted enough time with the likes of you.... I have to move on... you have shown me nothing When it comes to OPS your less than nothing... and so is your friend... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx Tosh: FWIW, You'd save yourself a whole lot of time and energy if you just ignored the stuff Purv and his ilk write. That he is a lone nutter should say it all. His opinion of you, your military record and life is of zero value and you should give it exactly that. There are people on this forum engaging in meaningful questions and research for you. They are sincere about this case. Save your time and energy and words for them. Just my opinion of course. Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen Collins Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Could someone post pictures of the South Knoll where Tosh says he was under a tree during the assassination? I believe I had those photos before, but they were on a hard drive that went bad. Kathy Collins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I had those photos before, but they were on a hard drive that went bad. Kathy Collins http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JAMESdealey.htm Kathy this is an overhead which was posted a few years ago on this forum.... you might like to put "South Knoll" in the Education Forums search engine. You will find that this area or research is a "NO NO". and does not fit into the norm of research. There are other pictures which show the south side of the plaza and the "Forked Tree" shadow where Sergio and I were located at the time of the shots. However, some years ago when I told and pointed out the location of where Serigo and I were standing... that location was soon moved by some posting on this forum and it was said I could not be found in any of the photos and at that point the thread went into "Never-Never" land... It did not fit with the norm and popular views as to the assassination. The FULL uncrop Cancellaro (sp) was posted for a brief time but it two was lost to time... Peter Lemkin, Jim Mars, and Tim Carroll had detail drawings as to this location... but they too got bushwacked and their investigation turn away from this location of the '"outh Knoll"... I spent hours, years ago, attempting to explain the location only to be told I or nothing was there... Some were not even looking in the right place... You watch little Lady... Its going to happen again if you seem to be interested in this location. Tim Carroll (RIP) did very good research in this direction before he passed away last July. I wish you the best... review the old threads from about Nov 04 and on. and I think you will see what I mean. I am sure you are not going to go far in this direction... the buzards are lining up... their computers are humming and their mouths watering... Its their job... Have Fun.

William Plumlee Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Could someone post pictures of the South Knoll where Tosh says he was under a tree during the assassination? I believe I had those photos before, but they were on a hard drive that went bad. Kathy Collins Kathy: Not to load you down. I get lost in these post so please forgive: http://www.jfkmurdersolved.com/southknoll.htm You might like to go to this link and the Cancellaro picture will come up (or should) The "Forked Tree" shadow is above the car, near the steps, south knoll....left side of photo..., to the left of the pick up truck... NOT above the pick-up, as some have pointed out. I am sure nobody else is going to help you on this... this thread will go dead. ..,off course I am self serving". I was told years ago that Tom Wilson had done work on this photo and certified this before he died... as yet I have not seen Tom's work or that his work has not been proven. Jack White said he had looked at it and that he could not see anything there.... case closed. P.S. I believe in this young generation... I believe they can get to the bottom of this..., if they are allowed.. All of us old farts will soon be gone soon... perhaps we can leave something behind that at least smells and rings of truth. I have faith.., they have good noses and good values .., in spite of what this generation say about them.
