Douglas Caddy Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) Steve Jenkins wrote on Facebook today:: Anybody who has spent any time researching the JFK assassination has seen this photo of Lee Harvey Oswald handing out Fair Play for Cuba pamphlets on 8-16-63 in New Orleans. Note one might ask why this photo is almost always heavily cropped? Here is a hint. See the door in the background? It’s the main entrance into the New Orleans International Trade Mart, which was managed by Clay Shaw, the only person ever charged in JFK’s murder.

Douglas Caddy Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 Lee D. Shepherd wrote on Facebook: "CIA officer Victor Marchetti described in detail how Carl Jenkins associate Tracy Barnes was connected to Clay Shaw and the New Orleans gang. Barnes had been involved in the Bay of Pigs operation and was involved in assassination activities from the early fifties, with Boris Pash in Europe ( Major Clay Shaw, aide-de-camp to General Charles O. Thrasher). Marchetti has suggested that Shaw was working for one of Barnes’ mysterious units. Barnes was also one of the heads who handled Richard Case Nagell, so perhaps that's how Jenkins knew Lee Oswald." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Balch Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 The guy in the white shirt and tie that the arrow points to is Herb Alpert. The guys behind him are the Tijuana Brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bauer Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 To me Oswald's Texas School Book Depository future supervisor Bill Shelley is the thin build, shallow cheeked, blond haired Everly Brother's style pompadour adorned fellow standing talking to one Oswald's paid helpers. In the video link provided above ( great piece!) we see the Bill Shelley look-a-like fellow is holding a cigarette or cigar in his right hand fingers. Did the Texas Schoolbook Depository Bill Shelley smoke? Just a coincidence Oswald and his crew would do their risky politically incorrect and inciting thing "right in front of" Clay Shaw's International Trade Mart?

Jean Ceulemans Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) About CE 1412 continued, the leaflets (or the folder as it seems?) used in ca. June ´63, the USS Wasp "event". The example they show has the contactdata wiped out, any ideas what was on the original?

Joe Bauer Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) 11 hours ago, Robert Reeves said: The Oswald flyer passing gig in front of the International Trade Mart, as depicted in this above pic and others and the video Jean provided as well, shows a surprisingly congenial scene. Several Oswald helpers and passer byes stopping and talking and what looks to me to be several Cuban ( or Mexican?) fellows hanging around as well. Lots of smiles, friendly engagement. And why are the school uniform young teen age girls milling about in front of the Trade Mart entrance just feet away from Oswald's leaflet party as seen in the uncropped wider view picture? New Orleans was the second most rabid violence minded anti-Castro city in the U.S. behind Miami in the Summer of 1963. Thousands of hot-headed anti-Castro residents. Many members of extreme violence advocating para-military groups ( DRE - Operation Mongoose ) constantly plotting ( even training ) to do whatever they could to get rid of Castro? These Latino fellows mingling with "pro-Castro" promoting Oswald and his helpers...what in the heck would attract them to want to hang around with these crazy gringos promoting Cuba and in such a friendly way? Surprised Carlos Bringuier and his boys didn't fly down to the Trade Mart and kick some A$$ again like they did with Oswald in his earlier downtown New Orleans Pro-Cuba leaflet passing gig. And those 3 or 4 Oswald helpers wearing white shirts and ties weren't doing this for free. Where the heck did poor Oswald who couldn't even provide his young family with the basics, get the funds to pay these guys? Guy Banister? And I am not totally convinced that one of Oswald's helpers was not Rapheal Cruz. Ted Cruz's father. This fellow resembled other pics of Rapheal Cruz at that age-24. Cruz Sr. was the exact same age as Oswald. And he was living in New Orleans the same exact time Oswald was there...the summer of 1963. In the beginning part of the video Jean posted, notice a man crossing the street behind Oswald. He instantly stood out to me because of his great height. Looked at least 6 foot 6 inches to me. I wondered, could Jim Garrison himself happened to have been walking around downtown at the same time of Oswald's leaflet gig? This whole scenario of Oswald being filmed while passing out his pro-Cuba leaflets in downtown NO seems so improbably contrived. Just some curious person decided to use up his film showing this odd looking fellow ( Oswald ) up close for several minutes doing this weird political thing? Nothing better to do on a mid-week day? And to have this film so quickly and directly get into the hands of the press and the agencies? This New Orleans flyer passing filming of Oswald ( downtown and at the Trade Mart ) couldn't have been more incriminating in setting up Oswald as the commie crazy the Warren Commission needed to prove he was inclined to possess the extreme political motive mind-set to do JFK. Toss in the impossibly ( laughably ) incriminating violent commie "backyard" photos and what more would you need to convict Oswald in the minds of the public?

Jean Ceulemans Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) An interesting map pin-pointing the ITM building (9) , the Newman Building (6), and so much more... I got this map some time ago - from the Weisberg Archives - but am still looking for a better quality one... .

Robert Reeves Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 The Trade mart photo op was a clear multi patsy scenario for the commander on the ground to have options should something go wrong. Only when Oswald was dead, and blamed, then could the other patsies captured on film breathe a sigh of relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
