David Boylan Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I've pulled out this pic from the RM's thread with the contribution by Robert Reeves. Speculative but if this is Rip then the guy to his right could be Tony Izquierdo. Robertson and Izquierdo were close having been on many missions and infiltrations together. Izquierdo was one of early recruits for the BOP and was close to Manuel Artime (AMBIDDY-1). Izquierdo was a CIA asset in 1963 working for Rip before moving on to the AMWORLD project under Carl Jenkins. He had previously trained under Jenkins in 1960-61. As Jenkins said "it was people I trained, people I worked with, and people I worked for." Izquierdo was identified as the Dal-Tex spotter by James Richards and Gerry Hemming.

Greg Wagner Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Hi David. James and I once kicked around the idea that the guy on the right might be John Adrian O'Hare. Complete speculation, of course. Regarding Izquierdo, he was also very close to Hal Feeney (ONI). When you consider David Sooy (also ONI) was outside the TSBD during the assassination, that opens a real can of worms. Sooy knew Frank Krystinik who met Oswald through Michael Paine. James located Feeney back in the 80's and told me he was not happy about being contacted. He was looking over his shoulder for a while after. If you know anything about Mr Richards, that is saying something.

And yes, I'm aware of Mr. Richards' past. 🙂 James was also a great martial artist and instructor. Some of his students went on to acting careers! Feeney and Izquierdo.

Greg Wagner Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) Imagine if just a few of these photos and videos we all study were clear and sharp. Game changer. Alas, the photo in question is like so many images attached to this case, tantalizing and suggestive but just not clear enough.

PB-- Well, alleged spotters and facilitators. These IDs are a bit subjective. Even so, if a group of, say, seven guys from Miami-CIA-Cuban-exiles-mercs community did the deed...that does not prove a conspiracy that runs all through US oligarchs and upper reaches of government. I happen to suspect two or three guys from Miami. BTW, I have plenty of poor sentiments regarding globalist US foreign-miitary-trade-immigration policies in the post-war era. DC is a global capital for commerce, and craven domestic elites. Under both parties. That being true (IMHO) does not prove JFK was assassinated by those elites (who are far more powerful today than in the 1960s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, the photo in question is like so many images attached to this case, tantalizing and suggestive but just not clear enough. I'd love to see these photos enhanced. Just some comments. I find it interesting that the CIA buried Izquierdo in Nicaragua for a few years. Here is one of their top commandos, highly trained, experienced, paratrooper left guarding what was left of Artime's weapons cache after AMWORLD shutdown. It's also a bit unusual for two middle-aged white guys, in suits, to be walking with a person of color in 1963 unless they knew each other. The earlier photos show just the two middle-aged guys together. It would be interesting to see just when and where the "Izquierdo" guy joined up with them.

Joe Bauer Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 It would be a bombshell moment if a highly reputable facial recognition technology group could make a scientific certainty match hit on one or two of the ominous character photos the JFKA research community has uncovered and debated all these years. I think the Rip Robertson in Dealey Plaza photo might be clear and full faced enough for the experts to make a confirmed match hit. The same with the Bill Shelley look-a-like in the August, 1963 Oswald New Orleans flier passing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Boylan Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Extracted from Mario Enriguez's paper on Izquierdo. Néstor Antonio Izquierdo was born in the humble cast Pogolotti, in the city of Marianao, province of Havana. His parents, Camilo Izquierdo and Joséfina Díaz, instilled in the child his good teachings. The father was a master builder and from a very young age Tony worked with him. PHe soon learned to read construction plans and despite his young age, his father often left him in charge of some works. For some time he studied at the electromechanical school of the Colegio de Belén, where he was a member of Catholic youth. He was a close friend of Manuel Artime and with him he was part of the Comandos Rurales at the beginning of the Cuban revolution. Later, following Artime, he joined the Revolutionary Recovery Movement and fought the nascent dictatorship, from which he soon suffered persecution to the point of having to hide in the province of Oriente. He returned to Havana and from there he went into exile: Mexico first, then Miami. In 1960 he entered the Guatemalan camps where the Brigade was trained, whose goal was the liberation of Cuba, its great desire and the reason for their struggles. We are not going to make a detailed account of the activities of Tony Izquierdo. Suffice it to say that he was well known by all the groups that fought against communism, that almost everyone called him to lend his invaluable services, those who could always count on his collaboration. P To give a brief and clear picture of who was Néstor Antonio Izquierdo we will tell some anecdotes kept with love in the memory of those who were his companions. In these stories we will omit names to keep anonymity that we have been asked. Néstor Izquierdo's first mission was prior to the invasion of the Bay of Pigs. Together with several companions, he parachuted into the foothills of the Sierra Maestra, in the eastern province of Cuba. The group, once settled on land, managed to bring together a good number of peasants who were prepared to wait for the invasion. Upon learning of the failure of the effort, Izquierdo dispersed the group and crossed the Guantanamo base from where he returned to the United States. . During these events he met an American officer from the base of Caimanera, who was baptized with the nickname of Don Quixote (Hal Feeney). This friendship would last until the day of his death. During a commando mission to Cuba and while they were moving away from the coast once the operation was over, the absence of a man was noticed in the boat. In similar cases, the safety of the operation and of the men who have survived is more important than the life of one man. But Izquierdo broke the rule: he took the helm of the boat and returned to the ground where he began to shout for the straggler. . At last they caught up with him, they put him on board, and everyone was able to go to sea again, without any upset. Key, in the keys of Florida, we were waiting to leave in an operation to Cuba. . For us to go unnoticed, old Rip told us to try to look like tourists and to that end he gave Nestor some water skis to practice the sport by the Bay. After spending some time skiing, when returning to the beach, a companion tells him: "I congratulate you, Tony, you did not fall once." Izquierdo turned to his friend and calmly replied "I could not fall, I can not swim". Two Cubans had been detained in the city of Mexico accused of attacking an agent of Cuba's communist regime. You could not expect a fair trial. Left aware of the problem, he went to Mexico and rented a house next to the prison where the two Cubans were. D He immediately began digging a tunnel to propitiate the escape, but he had discovered and had to flee to Miami. Later he returns to Mexico but they have already separated the two Cubans detained. Izquierdo enters the prison where one of them was, disguised as a policeman, and takes the prisoner out. In the street they separate and later Izquierdo is arrested when he tried to cross the border with the United States posing as Puerto Rican. When Izquierdo was arrested, all his friends mobilized. One of them communicated with the American officer friend. Don Quixote (Feeney), who moved to where Nestor was and made the necessary arrangements and lent the corresponding bail to achieve their freedom, putting their own house as a guarantee.

Do you mean this guy on right? I do remember there was a photo soon after the shooting showing the 'spotter' guy had disappeared pretty rapidly. He looks quite a big guy around the waist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
