That is important. Forget about where the two Oswalds came from or how they just happened to be in Dealey Plaza, or if Armstrong is right or wrong. In his post prior to this one, Tommy clearly dodges the question in his "answer," but tries to answer a question no one asked, and he continues to try to diminish the treachery of CIA personnel by hiding behind the “mole hunt” excuse that he wants us to believe excuses the culpability of several Agency personnel in the framing of “Lee Harvey Oswald” for the assassination of JFK. In the Roman/Hood/Karamessines/Whitten cable of 10/10/63 the individual misidentified as “Lee Henry Oswald” suddenly becomes the “Lee Oswald who called sovemb 1 Oct,” in other words, the patsy-to-be: “Lee Harvey Oswald.” That Oswald is described as “FIVE FEET TEN INCHES, ONE HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE POUNDS” may appear to be disinformation, and may be, but it is also close to the description from his Marine Corps records of American-born LEE Harvey Oswald, who was about two inches taller and huskier than Russian-speaking Harvey Oswald. More importantly, this is the cable that connects "Lee Henry Oswald" with the "Oswald" allegedly at the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City, and it attempts to rehabilitate “Oswald’s” reputation. In reference to FBI supervisor Marvin Gheesling’s removal of "Oswald" from the watch list, Bill Simpich concluded a post in another thread with this chilling paragraph: Gheesling's decision to take Oswald off the watch list effectively dimmed the lights around Oswald. It meant that Oswald would not be watched in Dallas with close scrutiny in situations involving national security, such as when JFK came to town in a motorcade. If Gheesling had waited another day, Oswald would have been in the spotlight. Dallas agents would have been on him like white on rice. So was all this just a couple of ghastly errors that helped unknown bad players make a patsy out of “Oswald,” or was it something even more sinister? The answers to that question came fast starting on November 23, 1963, when David Atlee Phillips and several other CIA personnel start making every effort they can to connect “Lee Harvey Oswald” with the Cuban government, undoubtedly hoping to blame the assassination on Castro and ultimately provoke a U.S. invasion of Cuba. For example, on November 25 Phillips' associate Gilberta Alvarado Ugarte walked into the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City and claimed he had been in the Cuban Embassy in MC on September 18, 1963. He told officials that he witnessed Oswald receive $6500 in cash from a "Negro with red hair" inside the Cuban consulate to kill President Kennedy. Alvarado’s date was wrong, and his entire story was bs, but Phillips backed up Alvarado’s character and claims in a half dozen or so CIA cables, several written under false names. There are other examples of this subterfuge, including Phillips’ own vicious attempts to have Cuban Consulate employee Silvia Duran forced by Mexican DFS to confess to a sexual relationship with “Lee Harvey Oswald” and portray it all as part of a communist conspiracy organized Cuba. From American-born LEE Oswald’s meeting in Dallas in August ‘63 with Maurice Bishop/David Phillips (while HARVEY Oswald was still in New Orleans) to the endless lies the CIA issued immediately after the assassination and for decades later (George Joannides, anyone?) you ain’t gonna explain Oswald and the CIA as just a mole hunt to me, despite Bill Simpich’s excellent work. Richard Case Nagell may have been one weird guy, but he clearly had foreknowledge about the plot to kill JFK, and the CIA clearly ignored his warnings. And don’t forget that the Kennedy Administration and the CIA were clearly at war just weeks before the assassination, as shown in the infamous Arthur Krock defense of the Agency in the Oct. 3, 1963 New York Times.

W. Tracy Parnell Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 12 hours ago, Jim Hargrove said: Do you seriously believe an exhumation of “Lee Harvey Oswald’s” remains was done without involving the U.S. Government? Or the subsequent long-delayed report? There was no involvement of the federal government, the exhumation was done at the behest of a private individual. The 4 forensic physicians worked for various government entities, but the vast majority of forensic people do. It takes a leap of logic to believe that these individuals could be controlled by the CIA or whoever. The mysterious 27 month "delay" in the publication of the report has been addressed by DiMaio, even though what the delay was supposed to achieve from the point of the conspiracy is unclear. Anyway, DiMaio stated: “The critics are unfamiliar with medical publications ... It usually takes a year or two from submission to publication. It often takes months to write the article such that everyone is in agreement with the manuscript.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. Tracy Parnell Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 10 hours ago, Thomas Graves said: two unrelated adolescent boys (with, by definition, two different mothers), chosen by the CIA to somehow grow up looking nearly identical, facially, so that they can participate, one wittingly, the other not, whenever their services are eventually needed in some doppelganger-based "black op" once they've grown up, in this case some ten years down the road. Great points made here Tommy, but I would add that when they were about 14, Armstrong tells us that they looked very different. "Harvey" was 4'8" and scrawny, almost like a concentration camp survivor, while "Lee" was husky and 5'4". But the CIA somehow knew these boys were eventually going to grow up to look enough alike for their nefarious future plans. Now seriously, who can believe that nonsense?

W. Tracy Parnell Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Most of the members here believe in conspiracy.

W. Tracy Parnell Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Jim Hargrove has offered examples of spy craft that he believes are similar to H&L.

Jim Hargrove Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hey, Tracy.... Since you’re once again busy pointing everywhere but here, why don’t you take this opportunity between endless links elsewhere to put into your own words what error led the WC to publish school records indicating “Lee Harvey Oswald” attended PS 44 in New York City at the very same time he attended Beauregard JHS in New Orleans? Instead of pointing to Greg Parker’s non-explanations, why not use your own words right here? Just be specific about how the "error" occurred. Just pointing out for the tenth time or so that you simply can’t do it…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I offer no explanation beyond what he has except the records are wrong, or being misread. The fact that you don't agree with me doesn't prove 2 Oswalds, in fact, the totality of the evidence proves their weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. Tracy Parnell Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 As most members here know, I am not a conspiracy believer. Jim Hargrove may think I am a disinformation agent employed by the CIA (as Armstrong mentor Jack White did) and therefore I should not be listened to. But many conspiracy believers likewise do not buy into the H&L theory. Three prominent examples are: David Lifton Lifton does not believe the H&L theory and has criticized it here at EF. He interviewed Palmer McBride before Armstrong got a hold of him and McBride recanted his beliefs about when his experiences with LHO occurred: http://wtracyparnell.blogspot.com/2017/01/palmer-mcbride.html Jeremy Bojczuk Jeremy has also criticized H&L here at the EF. He has an excellent overview of the subject here: http://22november1963.org.uk/john-armstrong-harvey-and-lee-theory Greg Parker Parker is one of the most vocal critics of H&L. See his archive which is critical of the theory here: https://reopenkennedycase.forumotion.net/f13-the-harvey-lee-evidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Walton Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I also agree with Graves about Oswald being impersonated but not the fairy tale version. The Leon Oswald sightings, the guy shooting wildly at a shooting range, and the car dealership incident are all examples of someone going around making and doing outrageous claims to memorialize the events months later. And Hargrove's posted photo of an Oswald look a like watching a burlesque show in Ruby's nightclub is an example of being where he probably wasn't supposed to be seen. What are the odds of a look a like being in an establishment owned by the guy who ends up killing mastoid Oswald on 11/24? But as Graves said this impersonation was all part of the plan, NOT the silly fairy tale espoused by Armstrong. And sadly folks on EF will continue to fall for the craziness of it.

Tracy, I kinda feel sorry for Armstrong. He's on a very difficult "mission". He has to convince "newbies" that Harvey and Lee looked quite different so he can show that they, indeed, were two different guys, but on the other hand he's gotta show that they looked quite similar in order to explain how they were able to convince so many people that there was only one of them -- sometimes that "one of them" being Harvey, and at other times that "one of them" being Lee. And then he has to deal with the Two Marguerites (OMG) in a similar fashion! LOL -- Tommy Edited March 20, 2017 by Thomas Graves I can't help it; the Agency made me do it.

"Dear James" Don't get all paranoid on me again. I'm a compulsive editor of my own, and sometimes other people's writings (depending on what my handler at Langley tells me to do, of course). It's an obsession for me (probably due to all of those Agency-financed lobotomies I've had), and IMHO, THEY are very wise to make use of my ... disability .... in such a "creative" way. -- Tommy Edited March 20, 2017 by Thomas Graves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
