Boot camp bunkmate says Oswald,poor marksman
Your Tax Dollars were used to
Frame one of their Own.
Lee Harvey Oswald was Paid by the CIA. See
"Spy Stuff" Page.
Oswald was also paid by the FBI. See
WC Executive Sessions of Jan 27, 1964.
According to Lee's brother Robert, Lee's favorite TV Show was
"I Led Three Lives".
A True story of Herbert Philbrick who posed as a
Communist for the FBI.
Robert's book states that by Sunday night after listening to
the Secret Service the biggest suspect in the assassination Biggest Suspect was the FBI.
Oswald couldn't wait to join the U S Marines. He tried
to join while underage.
As soon as he reached legal age he joined with his Mother's
signature.
Lee served as a radar operator at THREE (3) Top Secret U-2
Bases around the world.
Before leaving the Marine Corps Oswald was tested in the
Russian Language. See Below.
Oswald's Diary shows that he had a working knowledge of FIVE( 5)
Languages.
English, Russian, Spanish, German and, Japanese.
I have on Video tape that the first criteria the CIA looks for in an Asset
is Languages.
After leaving the Marine Corps, Oswald supposedly
Defected to Russia and, promised to give
the Russians Military secrets on the U-2 Spy Plane.
The challenge with getting TO Russia is that Oswald went from England to
Helsinki when there were NO Commercial Flights. (Did he get a Military
Flight?)
MARINA STOLD ME THAT LEE TOLD HER THAT HE GOT A MILITARY FLIGHT TO HELSINKI.
Blow up below
Oswald was living in Russia on May 1, 1960 when CIA Pilot Francis Gary
Powers was shot down over Russia.
Oswald's diary states that Oswald went from Minsk to Moscow for the Powers
Spy Trial.
That same Diary also states that he needed Russian Gov't approval to
travel from City to City.
While in Russia, Oswald met and married a Russian Girl named Marina.
On
2/15/62 they had a daughter named June.
Lee and Marina decided they wanted to return to the U S
A.
Marina's testimony states that Lee said they might get a Military Flight
back to the U S A.
What made a "Defector" think he would be entitled to a U S
Military Flight
Home?
Below is from Volume XVII page 720.
We know that the State Department Loaned him the money for the return trip
back to the United States.
I also have on video tape that the CIA supplied their Assets with
Minox
Cameras.
A Minox Camera was found among Oswald's possessions after his
arrest. (See Spy Stuff Page)
WHY would a Repatriated Defector continue to wear his Marine Corps Ring
and his Marine Corps I D Bracelet?
Oswald was wearing them when he was
arrested.
I can understand a U S Marine Corps Private contracting a Venarial Disease
while stationed at
a Top Secret U-2 Base.
What I can NOT understand is that it was contracted "In The Line of
Duty"???
HOW could a Defector work on Highly Classified material??
(below) (DURING THE MISSLE CRISES)
Oct. of '62 was the Missle crises.
WHAT was Oswald,s Job? see below

As you can tell from my bio, I work at Southern Methodist University
("SMU"). When I moved to Dallas in 1999 I got a job at SMU's Center for
Media & Instructional Technology ("CMIT"). The CMIT media librarian at
the time (introduced to me as "Judy Childs") was in fact Judy Chiles,
wife of Bill Chiles, part owner of Jaggars Chiles Stovall.
Well, you know, when I found that out I just went through the roof! So
at one of our Chritmas parties, I approached Bill (who is a sweet guy)
and I asked him point blank about Lee Harvey Oswald working for his
company.
Bill stated that Oswald was generally a crappy employee, that we wore
thick black military-type boots, was surly, and to the concern of Bill
at least, walked around speaking in Russian.
Since they did some work for the US Government, Bill was concerned about
this guy enough to call the FBI. Bill told the FBI that this guy named
Oswald was clunking around in military boots, speaking in Russian and
making a nuisance of himself. Bill said the FBI put him on hold, and
then came back with (and I am paraphrasing here) "...yeah, we know about
Oswald, he's okay."
For what it's worth.

More on Oswald & the
U-2.>>> http://whokilledjfk.net/u.htm
On Saturday night Oswald tried to call the
name/number below.
That name/number was later traced to someone
connected to U S Intelligence.
Oswald received a Passport even after being
REFUSED a Passport.
HOW MANY OSWALD's?
http://www.jfkresearch.com/Gallery_13/
OSWALD & THE U-2
(BELOW from HSCA III-156)
Was someone else using Oswald's Birth certificate?
1. I believe JCS had the B&W photos of Cuba's Nuclear missile sites
on
site because JCS was setting type on them, but only security cleared
personnel were allowed to handle the photos. Here is a photo with some
type that would have been difficult to set type on without the photo
present:
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/nsa/cuba_mis_cri/36.jpg
2. As per Doug's problem with the "low level" photos, detailed maps
are
made from low level photos all the time.
3. Here is a photo of where they analyzed the photos from the RF-8
and U-2 missions over Cuba at NPIC in Washington:
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/nsa/cuba_mis_cri/7.jpg
4. After much study I believe the map making was done at NPIC and not at
Jaggars, but I think the type on the maps and photos was set at Jaggars,
which means the maps and photos were on site at JCS at some point. This
would be the "topography matters and maps" that JCS dealt with.
They were
labeling the topography and maps.
5. Here is a photo displaying Cuban place names which Oswald could have
seen like he did the Russian ones (his knowledge of Cuba may have come in
handy like his knowledge of Russian did):
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/nsa/cuba_mis_cri/19.jpg
6. Here is a map of one invasion route that was planned through Cuba:
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/nsa/cuba_mis_cri/45.jpg
More detailed maps with words such as "101st airborne devision" would
have
been at Jaggers (at the very least the words were there along with Cuban
place names) If Oswald had any sense JFK was planning to invade Cuba he
would have been angered and I believe George DeM (who got him the job at
Jaggars) fueled that anger against Kennedy during the Cuban missile Crisis
when DeM and Oswald would have long, private conversations about the whole
fiasco.

McCone-Rowley Memo
TO: Mr. James J. Rowley
Chief
,
U.S.
Secret Service
FROM: Mr. John McCone
Director, Central Intelligence Agency
Subject: Central Intelligence Report on the
assassination of John Kennedy.
In response to the request made by your office on 24 February 1964 re: Lee
Oswald's activities and assignments on behalf of this agency and Federal
Bureau of Investigation, there follows a narrative summary of the internal
subversive activities of the Oswald subject.
I recommend that unless the Commission makes a specific request for specific
information contained herein, that this information not be volunteered. This
agency has reason to assume that some junior Commission staff members may be
potential sources of leaks to the news media or to other agencies; due to the
highly sensitive nature of the enclosed material, it would certainly be in the
national interest to withhold it at this time -- unless there is, of course, a
specific request made.
It is my understanding that Mr. Hoover has certain sensitive information
within his agency, which has be transferred to his own personal files for
safekeeping; he concurs that no material should be voluntarily given to the
Commission which might affect the status of field operatives or their safety.
He is particularly concerned about the De Bruey memorandum, which Central
Intelligence has obtained and which, I understand, you have obtained. It is
imperative that this information, at least for the time, remain under wraps.
Oswald subject was trained by this agency, under cover of the Office of Naval
Intelligence, for Soviet assignments. During preliminary training, in 1957,
subject was active in aerial reconnaissance of mainland
China
and maintained a security clearance up to the "confidential" level.
His military records during this period are open to your agency and I have
directed they be forwarded to the Commission.
Subject received additional indoctrination at our own
Camp
Peary
site from September 8 to October 17, 1958, and participated in a few
relatively minor assignments until arrangements were made for his entry into
the
Soviet Union
in September 1959. While in the Soviet Union, he was on special assignment in
the area of
Minsk
. It would not be advantageous at this time to divulge the specifics of that
assignment; however, if you wish this information, it can be made available
for your personal inspection within the confines of our own offices, or I can
send it by courier on the condition that it not leave the custody of the
courier. I am concerned that if this information were in any way disclosed to
the wrong persons, it would lead the media to erroneously claim this agency,
and perhaps others, were directly involved in the
Dallas
action. While the persons involved were in the employ of this agency, as well
as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, it is virtually impossible for this or
any agency to maintain full, 24-hours-a-day responsibility over its
operatives.
At the time of the
Dallas
action, the Oswald subject was only seldom in our employ; after the Soviet
assignment, we found him to be unreliable and emotionally unstable. He was of
little use to us after his marriage and De Bruey, from what I understand,
concurred in this. He was provided with a few unimportant infiltration
assignments and proved of little or no value. It is possible that Oswald,
given his instability, might have been involved in some operation involving
Hoffa, as noted in SAIC Bertram's report to your agency dated 1/3/64. Mr.
Hoover advises that his agency is trying to determine whether Hoffa might have
been involved laterally or vertically with the
Dallas
assassination I have advised that I would be interested in seeing the results
of that investigation.
Mr. Hoover advises that the facts given in SAIC Bertran's [ed. note:
"Bertram" in first usage, Bertran" here] 1/3/64 report are
basically correct. His agency has advised Deputy Sweatt against any further
unauthorized statements to the news media which might adversely affect the
investigation. Mr. Hoover advises he has no knowledge of how Deputy Sweatt
obtained his information, as there is no record of the agency distributing any
such information to Sweatt or any other member of
Dallas
Sheriff's office. It is regrettable that this information has come to the
attention of the news media, but I am sure Mr. Hoover will be able to clarify
the situation.
Speculation within this agency -- and this is only speculation at this point
-- is that Oswald subject became unstable following surgery April 1, 1961, in
the Minsk Hospital. He may have been chemically or electronically
"controlled"... a sleeper agent. Subject spent eleven days
hospitalized for a "minor ailment" which should have required no
more than three days hospitalization at the most. Six days after his release,
he met Marina Prusakova. This agency is particularly interested in her
intelligence background and I have requested a report on same from our Soviet
Embassy contact.
After his return to the U.S., Oswald worked in New Orleans through the
Anti-Communist League of the Caribbean and Friends of Democratic Cuba; his
case officer was SAIC Guy Bannister from the Chicago F131 office. He was
transferred from his assignments there after he was arrested and fined
stemming from an incident of his distribution of pamphlets for the Fair Play
for
Cuba
Committee. While our files here show no flirther assignments or contact, I am
requesting an (xx) check on the subject from our
New Orleans
and
Ft.
Worth
offices.
Please direct any further communication on this matter to my personal
attention so that your requests may be expedited, or feel free to call me
anytime. My office is always available to you.

New Book Features McCone-Rowley
www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/output/2005/09/20/story7560044t0.shtm
20 September 2005
A
Dundee
author’s new book on the assassination of John F Kennedy includes a document
which may prove the CIA trained Lee Harvey Oswald.
Pat Kelly believes rogue elements in the CIA and disheartened Cubans were
responsible for the killing and believes that at least four marksmen were
involved in the assassination. Mr Kelly said it has taken him many years to
complete and the most interesting aspect of the book is the “Second
Oswald” theory.
Included in the book is a CIA report obtained by Mr Kelly which, if authentic,
proves Lee Harvey Oswald worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence and was
trained by the CIA.
The author will be signing copies of his book, “Just a Patsy”, at
Ottakar’s in
Dundee
at 5pm on Wednesday.
He said, “The Kennedy assassination goes right to the heart of the American
government, and I believe it is easier to cover it up rather than face the
facts and the truth of what really happened on November 22, 1963.
“It has taken many years to write and get to this stage and there’s a lot
of information left out, such as whom I believed were the killers and their
assistants in the conspiracy.
“I couldn’t publish their names but some were of Cuban extract.
“I believe, like many others, that President Lyndon B Johnson gained the
most from the assassination.
“He controlled the investigation into Kennedy’s death. It must be said
that some disaffected Cuban mercenaries played a major part in the
assassination. Strangely enough, a fingerprint of Johnson’s aide, a man by
the name of Mac Wallace, was found on a box on the sixth floor where
officially the shots were fired at Kennedy.
“Wallace did not work in the
Texas
School
Book Depository so how did it get there?” Mr Kelly said there have been many
books written about the JFK assassination, however, most are very hard to come
by in this country.
“My book is probably the most up-to-date that most people in the city will
read,” he said. “No JFK researcher would claim their book is better than
others — that’s not how the research community works.
“We share information and try to get it into the open to let the public see
what really went on and how the
US
government was part of the JFK cover-up.
“Its over 40 years since the assassination of Kennedy and certain
high-ranking officials still want to hide the true facts of what happened from
the public.
“However, the public are not fooled by cover-ups and lies and they know that
something was amiss in the Kennedy assassination.
“The public want to know the truth and the facts. Hopefully my book goes
part of the way.
“I hope it helps to understand how and why the conspirators used Lee Harvey
Oswald for their own political gains, and he was as he said, “Just A
Patsy,” as the book title suggests.”
Researcher Allen Eaglesham has obtained the book and
confirmed that the document described is the McCone-Rowley memo.

Subject: Re: Intriguing document from Wim Dankbaar
From an e-mail correspondent familiar with documents from the Warren
Commission period:
The identifier "CO-2-34,030" appears in this document as if it were
the CIA's file and/or document number.
It is not; it is a Secret Service file number. No authentic CIA document would
incorporate the recipient's file number in this fashion.
"CO-2-34,030" was used for the entire Secret Service file on the
assassination investigation. Each individual report had a distinct
"Control Number."
Therefore, there is no reason to connect this document with the one RIF in the
NARA
database which has "CO-2-34, 030" in the title field. (There are
obvious differences, and that 1978 HSCA-related document is about "JFK
ASSASSINATION FILE CO-2-34, 030", not a single document.)
This particular letterhead ("UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum")
was routinely used by for Secret Service submissions to the
Warren
Commission, and within the Secret Service. It was designed so it could be used
by any agency, but I don't recall ever seeing it used by the CIA.
Examples: CE 2966, CE 2668:

2869):

A claim of authenticity for this document is spherically symmetric nonsense -
that is, nonsense any way you look at it.
Jim Moore on McCone-Rowley
This is an email from Jim Moore to JFK assassination researcher Peter Whitmey.
From: Jim Moore
Subject: Re: McCone-Rowley memo
Dear Peter:
Thanks for your letter - and for the work you continue to do re: the Kennedy
case. Thanks also for your concern about my health. I'm doing fairly well but
working in a hi-tech sweat shop just to pay the bills ... and that is rougher
on me than anything I've ever seen. I'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome as they
keep jacking our quotas up.
Anyway, to clarify, I did not quote the McCone-Rowley memo in Modern People; I
quoted an internal CIA report instead. (see "Operation Mind Control by
Walter Bowart) I think that is just an honest misunderstanding in the JFK
research community. When I sent the memo to Gary Buell, I told him I had grave
doubts about the FORM of the information moreso than the content, since I have
been able to verify much of the content independently. My doubt centered over
the fact that the third page containing the signature was so generic that it
could have come from any memo or communication and there was nothing in its
content to link it to the first two pages. I had (and have) no knowledge or
expertise about the S.S. File # you mention. I wouldn't know an accurate one
from a pig turd.
As you may know, it is a common approach in the intelligence community to leak
accurate information in a manner in which it can later be discredited to (a)
protect exposure of the source or (b) cover someone's ass. The CBS-Dan Rather-
GW Bush memos are excellent examples. Even the secretary admitted that yes,
she did type very similar memos (apparently containing the same information),
but that these specific memos were NOT the ones she typed. Get my drift? They
could be retyped (on a different typewriter or on different colored paper, for
instance) and one or two typos or obvious red herrings could be included,
added or substituted. The controversy then centers on the discrepancies while
the CONTENT is ignored.
For example, someone told me there is no independent evidence that Oswald was
ever involved in intelligence work. I believe The Rolling Stone many years ago
had a major article about Oswald's involvement in the U-2 program at a
Japanese US air base (where he was supposedly also used as an LSD guinea pig
for mind control purposes). I was first alerted to Oswald's intelligence
activities by going through a list of confiscated items found in the Warren
Report (this was maybe 30-35 years ago). Certain items such as a Minox(?)
subminiature camera - very expensive at the time - raised red flags, as did
his knowledge of microdot technology.
Anyway, I did not use the McCone-Rowley memo as a source precisely because I
was suspicious of the format of it, not because of the information within it.
Also, I never had an actual copy of the internal CIA document Walter Bowart
(and many others since) referred to. I was allowed to read it in the presence
of the source, make a few notes, then return it to the source, who was present
at all times to make sure I did not make nay copies of it. Much of it
contained historic references to "behavior modification" programs in
general, as well as a number of obscure and uninteresting memos. Maybe a dozen
pages of it actually referenced Oswald.
Also, I did not publicize it because I did not want to become a target (in
case the information was true), nor did I want to subject myself to the abuse
and insults and innuendos that so frequently pop up on Internet debates on the
subject.
Larry Hancock on McCone-Rowley (from JFK Murder Solved Forum)
Sep 20 2004, 02:37 PM
Yes, there were people in the Archives the following Monday after this was
discussed widely online. The archivists had been previously contacted and were
already searching for the document. The net result is that the
RIF
number thought to be associated with the document in question does not relate
to it, it has to do with something totally different. After several weeks of
searching there appears to be no such document in the Treasury file series
that relates to the internal document number series present on the first page
of the memo. Although it is impossible to say that the document is not at
NARA
or was ever transferred there, we can say that it was not recently located
there nor is there anything that verifies that it is there. The initial source
seems to have been a mysterious FBI man who gave a paper copy to a JFK
conspiracy writer quite a while ago, the contents were described in a tabloid
article and also in Dick Russell's first edition of The Man Who Knew Too Much
back in the early 90's. At this point it seems unlikely we will ever know the
true source and circumstances under which it originated but it is unlikely
that it will ever be traced back and verified as an official document in the
Treasury Department Headquarters files or a document that can be shown to be
in the
NARA
collection.
First posting: When I posted this on alt.conspiracy.jfk
and alt.assassination.jfk I had already been told of this document by Jim
Moore but he had not yet provided me with a copy. I thought I might have found
independent confirmation of the document but Dick Russell's source turned out
to be a tabloid article by Jim Moore.

Sat Sep-25-04 11:46 PMby gary buell
Jim Moore has never claimed that the document is genuine. The first I heard of
this document was in an email from him September 10, 2001:
"I do (or should) have one document I've never released because I'mstill
concerned over its authenticity, but it is a three-page letter in which Helms,
I think it is, acknowledges Oswald worked for the CIA and was in Russia for
that purpose, not as a defector. It discusses how this information should be
withheld from the
Warren
Commission - what can be said and what should not be said. I don't fully trust
it because of the way the letter is constructed, with the signature on the
third page in such a way that the first two pages could be fakes while the
last page is genuine."
His memory was obviously faulty in thinking it was Helms rather than McCone.As
I have said before
Moore
claims to have received the document from an FBI agent in
Tennessee
. I must say though that the possibility that
Moore
is the hoaxer cannot be excluded. He has claimed for years to be the author of
the Skeleton Key, although the evidence is fairly conclusive that Stephanie
Caruana is. He also claimed possession of a 350 page report on RHIC-EDOM.
Also from Jim Moore from a webpage he was preparing. More can be found at
www.geocities.com/omegareport.
Not sure if this page is there in working order:
What is the Oswald-FBI-CIA Connection?
WHO'S WHO IN THE GEMSTONE FILES©2002 by Jim Moore. All rights reserved.
There has long been speculation that Lee Harvey Oswald was associated with the
Carlos Marcello crime family in
New Orleans
, that he was an FBI informant, that he was a CIA operative. Is there any
truth to any of this? Any evidence?
Dec. 16, 1963 - Alonzo W. Hudkins, a reporter for the Houston Post, called the
Huston Secret Service office and told them he thought Jack Ruby's roommate,
George Senator, may have had a connection to Oswald's murder, though he didn't
elaborate except to say Ruby had a brother and a nephew who worked for Jimmy
Hoffa in Detroit.
Dec. 17, 1963 - Hudkins told the Secret Service he had just returned from a
weekend in Dallas, where he had met with Chief Deputy Criminal Division Allen
Sweat of the Sheriff's office. Sweatt had told him that Oswald was an FBI
informant, paid $200 a month and assigned a code "S172" in
connection with the FBI's subversive organizations investigations.Hudkins
added that it was odd that attorney Melvin L. Belli, the San Francisco lawyer
representing Ruby, was listed on the same letterhead as an attorney Abt, the
first lawyer Oswald went to for representation.The revelation apparently sent
shock waves through both the Secret Service and the FBI. James J. Rowley,
Secret Service Chief, apparently contacted both J. Edgar Hoover and CIA
Director John McCone about the information. Hoover issued a flat denial, but
if the document shown here is to be believed, McCone contradicted that denial
in a roundabout way, and further admitted that Oswald had been working for the
CIA.Personally, I have reasons to doubt the authenticity of the form of the
following information, even though I have been assured that facts contained
therein are correct. For one, the most glaring suspicion is that McCone's
signature appears on the third page, with just a very brief paragraph that
could have been lifted from any letter on virtually any subject and spliced
onto the other two pages. Second, the wide margins used are somewhat odd for
standard government communications. Third, the letter is typed on a generic
"
United States
Government Memorandum" without any marks identifying it as of CIA origin,
whereas other documents in my possession show the CIA letterhead centered at
the top.
Never-Before-Seen Bombshell Document: Is It Real?
Is it a forgery? A hoax? Or was it deliberately done in this manner, as my
source informed me, so the CIA could convincingly disavow itself from the
document? I simply don't know. I have had this document since the mid-1960s
(1967 or 1968) and have never released it until now, because of my inability
to confirm its contents or its authenticity. Now, though, other documents have
come forth and other researchers have obtained more information through the
Freedom of Information Act than I could possibly go over. I leave it up to
you, and history, to decide - and perhaps fill in some of the missing gaps.

#19036, "Beware of LHO document of unknown origin
Over the weekend of September 11th-12th a document, purportedly from John
McCone, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency to James J. Rowley, Chief
of the Secret Service giving remarkable information on Lee Harvey Oswald's
background was widely circulated. DO NOT ASSUME THIS DOCUMENT IS REAL. It's
authenticity is an open question. DO NOT CONTACT ARCHIVES II ASKING FOR IT.
THEY ARE OF THE OPINION IT DOES NOT EXIST IN ARCHIVES II. IT MAY BE A HOAX.
...
The LHO document, might be fake, might not be a fake. It's provenance is
certainly in question.I got this over that weekend, as a one page scan. Then I
got the 3 pager version. I went to Archives II on Monday September 13th and
discovered the
RIF
# given, 121-10002-10136, did not match this document. The
RIF
# given was most likely associated with this document through a simple search
of the JFK database by inputting the number "CO-2-34, 030" seen on
page one which will give you 3 hits. You think great! The 3rd one looks like
it should match.But, no. It's not.I thought I was given a document with a
RIF
#. If this was correct I had to see the original in Archives II. The
RIF
# given did not match the document. That is all I was able to discover. No one
should go off and denounce it as fake based solely on that, or being even more
lazy cry it's fake based solely on looking at it.BTW, I was the only one
inquiring about it on Monday. There were only 3 people looking at JFK records
that day. Malcolm Blunt, myself, and Patricia Lambert. I was the only one
looking for this particular document that day. The document raises several
interesting questions. I want to focus on a question that has nothing to do
with the content of the document. What do we as a research community do with
documents that are not in the JFK Records Collection at Archives II, that do
not have RIF#s? I think we're a bit spoiled by the
RIF
system. Obviously documents were released to individual members of the public,
or the public at large before the JFK Act. Since the JFK Act dealt primarily
with documents that were still classified after a certain date, I believe as
of a date in Oct. 1992, documents declassified or released prior to that did
not go into the JFK Records Collection and therefore did not get RIF#s. Also,
there are records at Archives II that are open to the public and accessible to
researchers but are not in the database. This is true of many
Warren
Commission records. So, there are places to look in Archives II that are
outside of the online JFK database. There are also JFK records outside the
jurisdiction or control of
NARA
. There are documents released over the years through the work of private
researchers, through FOIA, and other means. There are records in private
collections in libraries, for example there are records at
Texas
Christian Univesity (TCU) under the Jim Wright (former congressmen)
collection. Also, there are also records at TCU from a guy who was the
president of the Chamber of Commerce who presented JFK with a hat and boots at
the breakfast in Ft. Worth on the morning of November 22, 1963. There was a
man who worked for TIME/LIFE magazine who kept many records that Wallace
Millam found at a library, or university in, I think
Tennessee
. (Sorry I'm doing this from memory, and I do not have total recall.) Now most
of these records are available, and one can check that a document is there.
All JFK docments regardless of where they came from should have a highly
detailed accounting of exactly where they came from and how a researcher or
author got them so that source documents can be verified. This is pretty basic
stuff. But, unfortunately, it is not well practiced by some members of the
research community. Ed Sherry, or Ed Tatro, or their "source," or
James Richards, or Dick Russell must come forward with the necessary
information as to where this document came from. That would save a lot of time
and effort in trying to discover the source. And then we could validate its
authenticity. I am not interested in getting any credit for the discovery. I
did not discover this. Ed Sherry says he got it from Ed Tatro. Ed Tatro says
he got it from "a source" who does not want to be named. (I can come
up with one if he doesn't want to use his own.) But, I also had a second
source through Larry Hancock, an Australian researcher James Richards who
provided the full three pages. But, only Ed Sherry gave me a
RIF
#. Ed Sherry gave me only one page of the document, and a
RIF
#. Ed sent a RIF number with a link to the database, as if he was providing a
link to the specific
RIF
. You can't do that. It doesn't work that way. And he also copied the
RIF
info, well almost. He chopped off the top of it. I think he did a simple
search for the number one sees on the doc, C0-2-34. 030. If you put this into
the JFK database you get 3 hits. And only one looks like it matches the doc.
So, there was a possibility it could be easily found in Archives II. But,
nope. So, where to go from here? First off, please stop calling, emailing, or
otherwise pestering the Archives II staff for this document. A gentleman was
tasked with finding it, Jim Mathis. He spent nearly 3 weeks trying to find it.
Unofficially, he told me that officially (yes, I like the contradiction too,
but cut him some slack, he doesn't get to make any official policy like that)
the position of the Archives II staff is that the document is not in the
Archives. This may well be the case. However, it could be there somewhere.
There are a lot of places this document could be hiding. Without more
information from where it came from it's a near hopeless task of finding it.
Without checking anything in the database, or other guide material, but just
off the top of my head I can think of several places it could be: 1.) in CIA
files, and that breaks down into many categories 2.) Secret Service files,
which doesn't breakdown into as many as it should 3.) An employee of the CIA's
files 4.) An employee of the SS files 5.)
NARA
files 6.) Rowley files, or Rowley correspondence files 7.) McCone's files, or
correspondence files 8.) HSCA files, which breakdowns into many categories 9.)
the staff papers of employee X, of the HSCA Then there's the enormous problem
of "interfiling" What is "interfiling"? Well, documents
are released and declassified, and just added to boxes, boxes that you might
have already copied the entire contents of, or gone through, and now there's
new stuff there. And you'll never know. Fun, huh? It's also possible documents
are being removed from boxes for various reasons, none of them in my mind
legal or appropriate. Keep in mind Bush is reclassifying things, not JFK
specifically, but lots of other things open to the public. (See Federation of
American Scientists web site
http://www.fas.org/
for details.) Malcolm Blunt has told me documents that were in boxes he
previously went through can't be found now.Oh, I nearly forgot, on this 3 page
scan, on the last page, there appears to be a ghost image of a separate
document that kind of burned through in the photocopying if you look
carefully. I did find a document that matches that. This is a SS kind of
record keeping document, that material was sent out. I found documents like
this for SS correspondence to the HSCA. So, this might give credibility to the
doc. It certainly could be part of whatever is stapled to the doc, notice the
staples in the upper left on page one. If a fake, it's a nice touch. If this
is a fake, it's a pretty darn good one. So, I cannot address whether the
document is real or not. I await info from Larry Hancock. Here's Larry's info:
"The Endless Document"Well maybe the sourceless document would be
more like it although it is beginning to feel endless.. Joe, this is the best
that I have been able to piece together so far after an ongoing dialog with Ed
Tatro, his source (Bill Cheslock), Bill's source (Bill Miller), Bill's source
(James Richards according to Bill but not according to James), Jame's source,
the document's original source, Dick Russell's source....ad naseum. I have not
had direct dialog with Cheslock or Dick Russell although I have a message into
Dick as well as his second edition editor. The earliest original source for
the document was "reportedly" an FBI agent in
Tennessee
who gave a copy to James Moore. This is courtesy of an inquiry by Gary Buell
who did talk with
Moore
e.g. "I obtained a scanned copy of the document from Jim Moore. He says
he got it from a
Tennessee
FBI man and does not vouch for its authenticity..." Moore and his copy of
the document were the first apparent source and it was Moore who is cited by
Dick Russell, although Dick does state that the document is on record in the
National Archives....this may be a mistake and hopefully we will hear from
Dick himself on it eventually. When exactly this first appearance occurred is
not yet documented but it was certainly prior to 1992 when TMWKTM was
published. Apparently, the document has been posted on the internet within the
past two years by Gary Buell without much dialogue. Which brings us to
September 2004. Ed Tatro received the document from Bill Cheslock, a long time
acquaintance, with a request that it be circulated for comment. He was given
only one page initially. Ed was given to understand that the document was in
the archives. He send the document to Sherry and when we received it there
appears a
RIF
number associated with it. To this point it is unclear exactly when or where
that number came from.....certainly the first thing I did was a NARA search to
confirm it was real and in the archives, which of course the number is, but
not for this document....sigh. Stu Wexler did a variety of more complex
searches on various names and the CO document number which validated that at
least the document related to the right Agency and that it was consistent with
other Treasury Department documents pertaining to the JFK investigation. Given
a
RIF
number and this corroboration it seemed like a serious find even given some
issues with the contents. While we were doing that various individuals began
nay saying it based on content, form, logic and PhotoShop analysis -
representing that it was a clear cut and paste job (which by the way is denied
by others; the issue of the Confidential stamp also seems to be cleared up by
Moore's comment about putting it on himself?). "By the way, I asked
Moore
about the Confidential stamp. He says it was not on the original document. He
added it, as he said he did to other material in his office at the tabloid, I
suppose to say hands-off to his office mates." As to a second source,
James Richards states he got the document several years ago from a private
source making no claims for it but Jamie's impression given his knowledge of
the source was that it may well have been created as Agency disinformation at
some point and never actually used for that intended purpose. James claims not
to have posted it this last week until their was active discussion about it
and also states that his version does not have the yellow highlights. Bill
Miller claims he took his three page copy from James posting. I claim simply
to be clueless. At this point I have questions in to Cheslock inquiring as to
why he has stated to various people that he believed it was a document on file
at
NARA
and on where the
RIF
number originated. I have similar questions to Dick Russell. I agree with your
analysis that the document could very well exist in the records; I also feel
that it could either be a) real , b) real with intentional defects to make it
deniable and c) a very well prepared disinformation piece with intentional
defects which could have been used to divert or obfuscate an earlier
investigation. For all I know it could have been based on an actual document
destroyed long ago. However based on it's content and on it's CO number, I
don't think it's something that could have been done off the cuff without a
heck of a lot of background knowledge. -- LarrySo, the bottom line is do not
go off and use this document until it’s origin can be established. There are
lots of idiots in the research community who will do so anyway. This will only
cause needless confusion. Archives II will not look for this document anymore,
so don’t ask them to. If by some miracle someone eventually discovers it in
Archives II, or elsewhere, then and only then should it be used, and then
mainly for further study into it's validity.

Title : More on the Gemstone Files from the
Phoenix
Foundation
Keywords: GEMSTONES UFOS ELF
PHOENIX
JFK
Some background on the person who wrote "A Skeleton Key to the Gemstone
Files" and on the
Phoenix
Foundation. A MUST for JFK and "mind control" researchers!
Welcome to the
Phoenix
Foundation
Many of you have probably at one time or another watched MacGyver, the popular
TV series (no longer in production) about the guy who works for the
Phoenix
Foundation.
There is a real
Phoenix
Foundation, incorporated in 1981. I've been told by a reliable source (who has
been an actor on the series) that the show was inspired by a copy of a
newsletter, The Omega Report, that is produced by the real
Phoenix
Foundation.
The television show paralleled many of our real-world projects: UFOs, power
lines, espionage and politics.
I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about the
Phoenix
Foundation and invite you to join as a member. We will also be uploading the
texts of our newsletter, The Omega Report, to various CompuServe Libraries.
We are, to my knowledge, the only non-profit institute in
America
(at least) that is dedicated to the study of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF)
energy. ELF affects every one of us every day. Our brains operate on the ELF
frequency band (0-3000 hertz). So do the brains of every living creature on
earth. Even the earth itself oscillates at an ELF frequency.
I have testified in federal court as an expert witness on power line
radiation. If any of you are concerned about high- voltage power lines or
substations near your home or office, or about their environmental effects,
you definitely need to know more about the
Phoenix
Foundation.
We have received calls and letters from around the country on this growing
problem (which a secret utility memo compares to the asbestos crisis), and we
would like to form an international network of citizens, organizations and
researchers interested in identifying the risks and the causes, and in finding
solutions that are fair and equitable to all, including the utilities. In
fact, we invite electric utility participation.
The story of the
Phoenix
Foundation goes back beyond 1981. I personally carried out a lot of the
research since 1961, and founded the
Phoenix
Foundation as a formal organization to further my own personal research.
The
Phoenix
Foundation - just like MacGyver indicates - is involved in many things:
weapons research, paraphysics research, extraterrestrial research, biophysics,
psychotronics, electronics, agriculture, journalism, AIDS research, conflict
resolution, spiritual/scientific research, environmental protection, space
research, and political history.
I was the author, in 1975, of "A Skeleton Key to the Gemstone
Files", available on CompuServe and must reading for anyone who wants to
understand how and why our society has deteriorated to the point it has. The
story BEHIND the Gemstone story is one of the most incredible you will ever
come across, and it can be thoroughly documented. As time and finances permit,
we will begin uploading thousands of pages of documentation to substantiate
the claims made in the Gemstone Files. These files were the reason behind the
famous Watergate burglaries. Richard Nixon wanted to find out just how much we
knew and who we had shared this information with.
We (I) have investigated the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy since
they happened. We hope to upload a series of exclusive articles I wrote for a
national magazine in the 1970s that carries the JFK story farther than Oliver
Stone ever dreamed. This information was made available, upon request, to the
Senate Select Committee on Assassinations. It links Watergate to
Dallas
. This story also involves mind control - something virtually unknown by the
public that is again interested in what happened November 22, 1963.
I have personally spent months in jail in
Tennessee
for trying to bring this information to the public. My crime was publishing a
newspaper on Sunday. (More about this in future uploads). My home and office
were ransacked by sheriff's deputies, the CIA and the Ku Klux Klan, working
together. I was virtually imprisoned as a political prisoner right here in
America
.
I have been urged over the years by hundreds of people to tell my story, but
that has been very difficult to do. It has cost me my employability except in
the most menial jobs. It cost me my family and all that I owned (you can't pay
your bills when you're behind bars). Perhaps now is the right time, as
America
faces the most dangerous period in her history. And perhaps CompuServe is the
right forum, for I can ill afford the cost of printing the thousands of
newsletters or magazines it would take to get this story out to the American
people.
Unless we are halted in our efforts, we will begin uploading to you the story
behind Watergate and Iran-Contra, the real story about AIDS, and much more.
I've been there, in a unique position to witness history in the making.
In 1961, at the age of 16, I was building spy satellites. (This is documented
in an accompanying upload - see OBSAT.TXT) Little did I know then how a
science fair project would so dramatically alter my life. It was in 1961, in a
tour of Boeing Aircraft-Wichita, that I first discovered that the
United States
had recovered a crashed aircraft from an extraterrestrial civilization and had
bodies in deep freeze.
In 1963, I was involved in tornado research at the
University
of
Kansas
, using the super-secret U-2 spy plane.
By 1964, I was working with the Cuban Student Directorate (Des Moines branch),
a CIA-funded group of Cuban exiles involved in clandestine raids into Cuba to
destroy sugar mills in an attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro. It was years
before I learned that I had actually been working for the CIA and that this
group had been involved in Kennedy's assassination.
By 1966, I was a reporter for a daily newspaper (Pratt (KS) Daily Tribune). At
19 I was the youngest departmental editor of a daily newspaper anywhere in the
US
or
Canada
.
Two years later I was in Chicago, working as an investigative reporter and
national columnist for National Features Syndicate, investigating the Kennedy
assassination and working with a staff member from the office of New Orleans
DA Jim Garrison. It was there that I stumbled across the story of how the
US
was using "behavioral modification" (we know it as "mind
control") to monitor and control assassins such as Sirhan Sirhan and Jack
Ruby.
While there I was savagely beaten by the Mafia - a warning to lay off. I
didn't lay off. I uncovered a Mafia-operated counterfeit operation that was
manufacturing "Longines-Wittnaur" watches by the tens of thousands,
undermining the legitimate company. By the time I realized what I was involved
in, it was too late. The
Chicago
Mob's hit men made their move. One helluva story there!
That same year I was working (briefly) as a volunteer for Robert Kennedy's
presidential campaign. Then he was murdered. Within weeks, I was
Illinois
State
Chairman of Senator Eugene McCarthy's presidential campaign (not to be
confused with rabid anti-Communist Joe McCarthy). I took on the Daley
political machine in a courtcase that went all the way to the
U.S.
Supreme Court (I won).
That case has been used as precedent by independent presidential candidates
ever since - both conservative and liberal. The story of how both George
Wallace and Richard Nixon campaigns tried to fund us to destroy the Democratic
Party is worth telling, as is the story of how the movement was infiltrated
and taken over by explosive SDS and Weathermen radicals who wanted to dynamite
the polling booths. How many of these were federal "agents de
provocateur" I'll never know, but I publicly quit in disgust and outrage.
Violence is not at all what democracy is supposed to be about.
In 1969, with a Mafia contract out on me, I fled to
Tennessee
and started publishing a small weekly newspaper in 1971 that landed me in even
more hot water. I discovered small towns are more dangerous than the cities.
They can keep a better eye on you, and destroy you much more effectively.
My children were shot at as they played in the front yard. Friends were
offered money to put me in the hospital and shut me up. A deputy sheriff was
murdered one night when he tried to bring me a story he had written about how
corrupt the sheriff's department was, running a burglary ring that covered
several counties, and dealing drugs. When all that failed, I was arrested and
jailed for three months for having my newspaper office open on Sunday. (That
story made the papers, television and even Editor & Publisher magazine).
When I got out of jail in 1975, I started writing my Modern People, a
Chicago
news weekly (not to be confused with People Magazine). My assignment: solve
the Kennedy assassination. My undercover work for Texas Senator Henry Gonzalez
(who spearheaded the renewed JFK probe and who later became committee
chairman, only to quit after he himself was the target of a Mafia contract)
brought me even more problems after I revealed it was Watergate burglar E.
Howard Hunt who was in charge of the secret CIA photo team across the street
from the Cuban consulate in Mexico City. That team produced the photos of Lee
Harvey Oswald that were not Oswald at all, but a CIA assassin. When it became
obvious that the Senate Committee had been infiltrated by the very people
covering up the assassination truth, both I and Gonzalez quit.
In April 1975, I completed "A Skeleton Key to the Gemstone Files" -
which is available for download on CompuServe. In May my home was broken into
and a copy of the manuscript was stolen, then later published in the City of
San Francisco Magazine
.
The
Williamson
County
Sheriff's Department placed me under heavy surveillance. My neighbor, a
redneck if there ever was one, was making lists of the license numbers of
every car that visited my house, and turning them over to the sheriff. I was
told by the
Fairview
police chief (a friend) that "something is going on" and that it was
out of his jurisdiction. He had been told not to intervene. In exchange for
his "help", my neighbor was given carte blanche to go through the
house of my other neighbor, who had died, and take whatever he wanted. The
dead man's house sat vacant for months.
Not too long after that, Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt (yeah, I know,
he's a drugged out sleazeball), offered me $1 million for what I had on the
JFK murder. I sent him the Gemstone Files. Two days after I discussed the
story with his staff he was permanently crippled by a would-be assassin. The
story was rejected - then in February 1979, Hustler published it - without
paying for it - and even misspelled the same words I had deliberately
misspelled as protection.
I went to Charles Galbreath, former Tennessee Appellate Court Judge and a
friend of Flynt's. I wanted to know what was going on. Galbreath wanted to
sue. The story got even stranger at that point. Hustler admitted they had
received the story from me and offered a $2,000 out-of-court settlement, which
I rejected. (Maybe, in retrospect, I should have accepted it).
Suddenly, Galbreath backed off, after saying Flynt was being controlled by
sinister powers.
At the same time this was going on, I was helping Richard Fann, a former cop,
in his campaign for the
Fairview
City
Commission, and I began publishing the Gemstone Files.
Within days, I was again arrested - on drug charges. I personally watched from
a creek (where I bathed) as
Williamson
County
deputies placed marijuana plants on my front porch - my front porch for
Chrissake. I heard one deputy say "I want the first shot at him." I
hid in the woods until dark, then tried to get away, but they had stolen the
keys to my car. I walked on foot for miles to a friend's house. They nabbed me
there. I was jailed, even though Judge Ann Franks told them to release me on
my own recognizance. Sheriff Fleming Williams told the judge I had been
released, when in fact, I had not, and was being held incommunicado in the
Williamson County Jail in Franklin. I was alone in the world like I had never
been alone before.
My landlady went to my house to discover "men in suits" going
through my files. She was told "if you want to keep your family alive,
you'll get your butt back up the hill and forget you saw anything." She
didn't, but instead went to the sheriff's department, where she was ignored. I
wonder why. Years later, I found out who at least one these men were - the
Tennessee
Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan.
I was told I would never leave jail alive. They brought a humongous deputy in
(he must have weighed 400 pounds) and told me I would be shot in the head
trying to escape. They were going to take me for a ride. It wouldn't be the
first time this had happened in
Williamson
County
. Earlier an inmate, handcuffed behind his back, was shot in the back of the
head and killed when he "tried to escape."
I smuggled a letter out to the
County
Judge
, Wilburn Kelley, whom I had helped in his election. I also led a work strike
by the inmates when the deputies were stealing our food and taking it home,
starving us out. The letter was broadcast on the radio and Kelley visited the
jail; things improved for awhile.
I am alive today probably only by the grace of God and the compassion of the
Fairview
police chief. I was taken to
Fairview
City
Court to face "check forgery" charges. I had signed my wife's name
on a $5 check for gas (she was at work and the gas tank was empty). She didn't
initiate any proceedings. The bank saw the signature was different and the
sheriff jumped at the possible charges. He flew into a rage when the judge
refused to force my wife to testify and the grand jury refused to indict me.
He swore he would take it over their heads to insure I was put away for good.
The local charges were dismissed and when the sheriff's deputies didn't show
up to take me back to jail to face the "drug" charges, the local
police chief looked at me and said, "I'm not going to do their dirty work
for them. I don't care where the hell you go, just get out of here." I
fled to
Nashville
and stayed with a friend until my county court date. When I showed up, they
tried to arrest me for escape, but Judge Franks said enough is enough. Stop
right there. I was found guilty, though, on the marijuana charge. I didn't
stand a chance against that. Sentence: time served.
As for Richard Fann, the cop running for office, he won with more votes than
anyone had ever received in
Fairview
history, and became mayor.
My own life in shambles, I went to
Nashville
and waited tables while I pursued the court case against Hustler, on my own,
without an attorney. I was doing alright, winning every motion, until a new
lawyer appeared on the scene to volunteer his help. He suggested I withdraw
the case from federal court and file it in state court, where a jury would be
more hostile to Flynt's values. Worst advice I ever took. Two days later the
lawyer vanished. I went to his house. It was bare. To this day I have no idea
whatever happened to him. Was he a plant to sabotage the case? I don't know.
The Gemstone Files was widely published - but heavily censored - and was made
into a movie and a book by a CIA front corporation. Their objective was to
present it as fiction, so people would never again regard it for what it was -
FACT. The corporation that published it was, in fact, a CIA proprietary
airline like Air
America
. It was their only venture into publishing. One of their agents tried to take
credit for the work.
At this point, I guess any person in their right mind would have quit, just
given up and said to hell with it. But then I guess I didn't fit that
description. I did tone it down (I had a family to support). I held several
nondescript jobs: typesetter, warehouse manager, retail store manager).
In 1980, I served as
Davidson
County
Co-Chairman of the John Anderson presidential campaign. The campaign was
infiltrated by Republican dirty tricksters. When
Anderson
's daughter came to town, one of those tricksters, who was posing as a doctor,
was assigned as her driver. He eluded the Secret Service and drove Eleanora
around trying to get her to do drugs. The Secret Service was in a panic when
they couldn't find her. I can imagine what kind of front-page scandal that
would have made. This is the first time anywhere that incident has been
revealed.
It was during this same year that the Iran-Contra scandal began. Reagan's
people approached
Anderson
with information that Carter was involved in some secret arms deal for the
hostages. It was pure bullshit! More dirty tricks.
In 1981, I founded the
Phoenix
Foundation and set up The Omega Report, a computer-run bulletin board service.
When I once again started publishing the Gemstone Files, I was visited at work
by an individual who worked (and still does) at a top- secret communications
facility just across the street from where I lived.
This communications facility is on a hill that gives it an unobstructed view
of
Nashville
. It has high-powered surveillance cameras on the tower. In fact, at a public
meeting in front of some 500 people, I asked the head of the Tennessee
Emergency Management Agency about those cameras. He bragged they could read
license plates at a shopping center several miles away. My next action was a
letter to Mayor (and former Congressman) Richard Fulton asking why these
cameras were pointing into people's bedrooms (including my own) and on whose
authority. I would go out in the yard and the cameras would move, following my
direction.
The individual who showed up at work told me there was a thick file on me
making the rounds of the facility and that I had better be very careful. I had
pissed off some powerful people. I won't reveal this person's name because I
still have contact with him and do not want to jeopardize his job. But he told
me some of what was in the file - enough private details that I knew he was
telling the truth.
As Iran-Contra unraveled, the Foundation published a special Omega Report
(still available in limited quantities). We were the first to reveal the
Reagan deal to delay release of the hostages. I called it as I saw it -
treason. We reported the concentration camps set up in ten states as part of
Operation Rex 1984. These camps were built to hold 400,000 people - American
citizens - who did not agree with Reagan's Nicaraguan militarism. I sent a
copy to every member of Congress (it cost me a bundle!)
I've been told that as ABC-News panned the Iran-Contra hearing room during
breaks, copies of the report were seen on the desks of several Congressional
staffers. I can't verify that. We intend to upload that report to CompuServe.
You need to know what's going on!
We were the first to predict the
Berlin
Wall would fall - a year before it happened. Using computer technology to
analyze European news events, we beat the CIA and the White House on that one!
We've produced a lot of material on the phony "War on Drugs." This
so-called war is a hoax. Uncle Sam is
America
's biggest dope dealer and the "war" is simply an excuse to destroy
the Bill of Rights. It's working, too. (More to come on this).
We've produced a lot of material on the use of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF)
radiation for mind control. We've obtained, through the Freedom of Information
Act, CIA and DIA documents that prove it. We are, according to a CIA document
submitted to the
Warren
Commission, being programmed "in a manner consonant with national
plans" (Richard Helms) in "the battle for the minds of men."
The DIA document tells how, in 1976, the military was using mind control
technology as a "barrier weapon" to literally change the enemy's
mind - creating temporary and permanent brain damage, inducing hypnosis and
"voices in the head."
We used it in
Panama
against Noriega and in
Iraq
against Saddam Hussein. And in
America
against
U.S.
citizens. We suspect there is a link between this and high-voltage power
lines, as outlined in the DIA document. The nation's electrical system and
plumbing grid can be used as a powerful ELF brain- wave transmitter to
condition the population. Even the judge in the Judas Priest "subliminal
control" trial cited a litany of how the CIA has attempted to use it
"to alter the outcome of national elections."
Remember that as you vote in November.
Another area we've been involved in - stemming from my 1961 trip to Boeing -
is extraterrestrial contact. There are a lot of paranoid nuts out there with
some wild stories, but there is also a lot of frightening truth to what is
being circulated. Our newsletters cover some of this.
My background is journalism, engineering. I seek facts. Provable facts. And I
try to pass it on to you. We also present differing opinions - since my role
is not that of a censor, but that of historian. Judge for yourself what may be
real and what isn't.
Our involvement in high-voltage power lines has brought back the ugly
surveillance and smear tactics of the powers that be. Two years ago, when a
local utility company tried to place a high-voltage power line in an affluent
Nashville
neighborhood, people were upset about the aesthetics. We pointed out that
there was much more to be concerned about - birth defects, brain cancer, etc.
We were invited to speak to
Brentwood
homeowners - where a 175,000-volt line runs only 20 feet from children's
swingsets. But a power line "volunteer" from Murfreesboro began
writing letters and making phone calls accusing me of being a convicted felon,
a child molester, a CIA agent and a communist, and warning people to stay away
from me and the Phoenix Foundation. I saw one such letter in court.
After $70,000 in legal fees (not my money), we gave up on the case, even
though I think we had a chance of winning it.
Undaunted, I set up the Global Village BBS in Nashville - America's first
community electronic newspaper and electronic town hall, with the
participation of the Democrat and Republican parties, city council members,
state legislators, the governor and Congressmen.
Within 30 days, I was again under attack. The State of
Tennessee
demands to do a "routine" audit of every document, every bill, every
receipt, every check since 1988 - even though I've paid all state taxes I've
been told to pay. This audit is set to come up September 22.
That's where things stand now. I couldn't find a job anywhere. I am
unemployable. Employers who have had government contracts were told to choose
between me and their contracts. My last employer told me I was one step away
from being "hit", according to a private investigation.
This is what
America
has come to. This is the price you can expect to pay for patriotism. I want to
tell you - and those who may be watching me - what patriotism is all about. It
isn't relaxing in your easy chair with a six-pack of Budweiser and Monday
Night Football and accepting every piece of crap fed to you on the news. It's
about loving your country and your people enough to take the necessary risks
to make
America
the nation she should be, the nation she deserves to be.

I originally received the McCone-Rowley memo from a former tabloid writer, Jim
Moore, who posted the following biographical document to the internet:

There is absolutely no reason to believe that this is a real government
document either.

(redacted). He filed bankruptcy in 2001 following heart surgery and medical
expenses in excess of $100,000. He seems to pass himself off as "a local
yokel" of no great expertise or intelligence. One neighbor thought he was
"kind of dumb for a country guy." Most neighbors have no idea what
he does for a living.
CHILDHOOD: Mother: Cleo Elizabeth Branstetter Father: Obe J. Moore Stepfather:
Floyd Riley Brothers: None Sisters: 3 (Susan, Pamela and Patricia - twins)
Born James Loren Moore, he changed his name to James Loren Riley in 1958 (his
stepfather's name), then in 1963, just before high school graduation, reverted
to
Moore
. Subject has said in television interviews that he didn't know his true
identity until he was 12 and discovered his birth certificate in a box of his
mother's papers. He claimed he had always thought his surname was Branstetter.
He was raised in a violent low-income family and it was learned some years
later that his three younger sisters had been sexually abused (one
impregnated) by his alcoholic stepfather. In elementary, middle and high
school, he had a paper route (
Pratt
,
KS
Daily Tribune) and worked at a paint store and at a local grocery store after
school. At age 16, he ran away from home, claiming abuse, but was returned. A
year later, he ran away again and lived under the football bleacher (October)
while attending high school. No one knew he was homeless until he moved into
the school basement and was found one morning by a janitor who came in early
to check the furnace and found him asleep. He had access because the school
had provided him a basement lab space to carry on his scientific research (see
Project OBSAT below). Once discovered he was taken under the wing of the local
Lions Club, Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club and Chamber of Commerce, who provided
him with clothes, food and living quarters at the Calbeck Hotel, where he
worked as desk clerk and janitor to pay his way through high school until
graduation.
EDUCATION: Graduated from Pratt (KS) HS 1963 Attended University of Kansas
(1963-64) - Aerospace Engineering, full four-year scholarship with guaranteed
employment by Martin-Marietta space contractors (Denver, CO). Apparently
dropped out of school because of problems related to abuse of his sisters back
home. Attended Pratt (KS) Community College (1964) - Journalism - no degree
Graduated from Nashville State Tech Institute (1981) - Computer Sciences
MEMBERSHIPS: Fairview Lion's Club (1971) Combat Veterans of America

KNOWN WORK HISTORY: Pratt (KS) Daily Tribune (1964-65) - youngest daily
newspaper department editor in the
US
or
Canada
(sources: Editor & Publisher, Publisher's Auxiliary). He was scheduled to
enlist in the USAF but was ultimately rejected for physical reasons (infected
ingrown toenail). Won honors for his writing and photography from Associated
Press. Was promoted from "cub reporter" to state editor and features
editor. Was arrested on "insufficient funds" check charge ($35) and
left the paper; charges were never pursued. He had been out of town on
assignment, he claimed, and had a tire blowout and the check "made it to
the bank before I did." His stepfather also tried to have him arrested
for kidnapping (of his own sister); he claimed he was "rescuing her"
from sexual abuse. She verified his story and officials refused to serve an
arrest warrant.
Cuban Student Directorate (CIA cut-out) (1965). Information officer, according
to published sources he participated in covert military operations in
Cuba
.
Federal Reserve Bank (
Kansas City
,
MO
) (1965-66). Duties classified.
National Features Syndicate,
Chicago
,
IL
(1966-68) CEO - Bob Sorren. Syndicated columnist and investigative reporter,
received covert assistance from CIA re: matters pertaining to Cuba and Fidel
Castro, worked with Israeli Embassy re: sabotage of Israeli, French and US
nuclear submarines after USS Thresher. Was responsible for arrest and
imprisonment of 27 organized crime figures in Chicago and New Jersey in
counterfeit watch operation targeting Longines-Wittnaur Watch Co. and
Hamilton; as a result, a $10,000 Chicago mob contract was let out on him, but
strangely, he had some protection from yet another alleged organized crime
figure whose granddaughter, Linda Morganelli, was Moore's secretary. Moore was
known to be working with the Kennedy family and with New Orleans DA Jim
Garrison's staff, as well as unknown law enforcement agencies in
California
. He was also involved in an investigation of a man convicted for second
degree murder in Indiana (Randy K. Wilson) and succeeded in getting
Wilson
's case re-opened. He was banned from the Indiana State Prison by Governor
Roger Branigan on grounds he was "impersonating an attorney"
(source: AP) Branigan later apologized publicly, saying he had been
misinformed, and subject was fully reinstated his prison visiting rights to
meet with Wilson.
US Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (1968) - worked as unpaid volunteer until Kennedy
was assassinated 6-6-68.
US Sen. Eugene McCarthy (1968) -
Illinois
state chairman of McCarthy's presidential campaign, filed an election lawsuit
against Illinois Governor (1968) and won a belated
US
Supreme Court decision (Moore v. Shapiro - USC Jan. 1969). During this period,
he was inducted by the Selective Service (
Clay
County
, MO). He took the physical, but refused to take the oath of enlistment and
was notified of his imminent arrest and told not to leave the city. His
attorney (now unknown) apparently obtained documentary evidence that the
subject was the target of an illegal conspiracy involving wiretapping and
breaking-and-entering, apparently on the orders of the Missouri Selective
Service Director. The Selective Service then dropped all charges and
reclassified the subject as 1-D. All records have since been expunged on
reasons of "national security."
Subject is also known to have been a target of MKULTRA and MK-Chaos during the
1968 presidential campaign. Attempts were made to enlist subject's support of
terrorist actions (bombing of polling booths), but he refused and at the state
political convention publicly exposed the actions as part of a "federal
agent provacateur plot involving the SDS (Students for a Democratic
Society)." After denouncing "those responsible" as
"traitors to the American ideal" he then abruptly stepped off the
podium and walked out the door and quit politics.
Modern People Magazine (1969-1971)- founder of "consumer protection"
weekly owned by cousin of National Features Syndicate CEO (see above).
Subscribers included Ralph Nader and Sen. Edward Kennedy.
J. M. Bundscho, Inc. (Chicago, IL) (1969-71) - typographer and proofreader on
night shift assigned to J. Walter Thompson, Leo Burnett, Sears, Dial, Kentucky
Fried Chicken and other major advertising accounts; member of International
Typographer's Union (ITU).
NOTE: He left both jobs and left
Chicago
after a severe beating by Mafia associates of Tony Accardo, believed related
to earlier Mafia contract on him. Hayes International Aircraft (
Birmingham
,
AL
) (1970 - two months) - employed as senior layout artist for defense
contractor preparing flight manuals for NASA,
USAF
,
USA
and USN. Had classified access to military and NASA aircraft and flight
operations processes. Laid off with about 2,000 others when Hayes lost a major
government contract.
Fairview
(TN) Sun/Flyer (1971-1973) - self-employed newspaper publisher and advertising
consultant, owned and published three weekly newspapers in
Fairview
, Brentwood and
Hickman
County
. Paper ceased operations when he was arrested for refusing to divulge his
sources re: alleged drug/burglary operations involving
Williamson
County
Sheriff's Dept. Following the murder of
Williamson
County
Deputy Morris Heithcock,
Moore
was known to be working undercover with
Dickson
County
Sheriff and Fairview Police Chief Don McAdon. It seems Heithcock was on his
way to
Moore
's residence with evidence of
Williamson
County
Sheriff Fleming Williams' involvement in or knowledge of drug and burglary
operations by his top deputies. This was confirmed by the widow, Viley
Heithcock, who claimed evidence that her husband was murdered by a fellow
officer to halt the drug probe.
Moore
was subpoenaed as a witness by both the prosecution and defense in the murder
trial of Heithcock's alleged killer, Harry Conley, but was never called to
testify by either. Following the trial (1974), Police Chief McAdon was ordered
to place Moore under arrest for violation of Sunday closing law ("blue
law" since ruled unconstitutional), but refused and was fired. He is the
probable "confidential source" of
Moore
's inside information.
Moore
was then arrested by the new chief, Percy Buttrey, and was jailed for three
months in
Franklin
. These matters have been widely covered in the local and national news media
- TV, radio, journalism magazines and newspapers. Subject had the
personal and public support of Tennessean editor John Siegenthaler.
Modern People (
Chicago
,
IL
) (1975) - Upon his release from jail in March,
Moore
was re-employed by Modern People (see above) as a freelance investigator with
the assignment of investigating new evidence in the JFK-RFK assassinations. He
wrote at least 26 articles, some of which have been widely quoted in books and
other articles since, and have been translated into seven languages via the
Internet. The first article in his lengthy series was gust-written by Texas
Rep. Henry Gonzalez (see below).
US House Select Committee on Assassinations (1975) - worked in a
"non-official" status with Texas Rep. Henry Gonzalez (D-TX now
deceased) who was chairman of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
Was subject of an assassination attempt in
Nashville
while on assignment for Gonzalez; his assignment - investigate ties between
JFK assassination and E. Howard Hunt/CIA in
Mexico City
. Gonzalez himself was target of a $45,000 organized crime "hit" and
his car was blown up in Washington; Gonzalez then resigned after making some
cryptic comments about organized crime controlling and sabotaging his
investigation (source: Washington Post, 1976 and private correspondence from
Gonzalez to Moore obtained by covert means).
Metro Observer (1975-76) - Subject was editor of a minority newspaper owned by
Sam Latham. Subject was not paid a regular salary. Latham said some readers
and advertisers, upon meeting him, were surprised to discover he was white -
as that was not discernible from his writing.
Hustler Magazine (
Los Angeles
,
CA
) (1975) - While not an employee, subject submitted a lengthy manuscript
called "A Skeleton Key to the Gemstone Files" related to political
assassinations and cover-ups. Publisher Larry Flynt was going to published the
story (according to his attorney
Mark Lane
), but was shot and paralyzed just days later by an individual said to work
undercover for (redacted). In February 1977 (?) he did finally publish it,
with about half of it deleted. Subject claimed he had not been paid as
promised ($1 million) and was represented by former
Tennessee
Criminal
Appeals Court
Justice Charles Galbreath. Lawsuit was filed in US District Court-Nashville
and noted in the
Nashville
Tennessean. For some reason, Galbreath suddenly backed off after winning a
promise of payment from Flynt. Lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice at
subject's request, but payment was then not made. Subject retained Atty.
William Dickinson III and action was re-filed in
Tennessee
state court. A week later,
Dickinson
vanished, leaving only an empty house. Whereabouts still unknown as of
12-15-2001. Subject dropped the lawsuit after his wife was visited at work by
one
Stanley
King, who told her "if he shows up in court, you're living with a dead
man." King is a former Nashville police officer and Grand Dragon of the
Tennessee Ku Klux Klan, who had illegal permission from Nashville Police Chief
Casey to carry a weapon even though was no longer a police officer. King also
operates a "home and business security" business (see King file).
King had been involved in a black op targeting subject's Fairview home,
accompanied by unknown agents from (redacted) in an attempt to retrieve
documents provided to the subject by Senator (later Ambassador) Howard Baker
(D-TN) re: Watergate and the "Gemstone Files." This operation was
enabled by the cooperation of Williamson County Sheriff Fleming Williams, who
set subject up on marijuana charges to get him away from the house to the
operation could proceed unhindered. Subject was ordered released by Franklin
Circuit Court Judge Jane Franks, but he was instead held incommunicado in
violation of the court order. Somehow the subject had connections to
Williamson
County
Judge Wilburn Kelley (campaign help?) and was able to smuggle out a letter
which was widely broadcast on the local
Franklin
radio station (WIZO). Kelley intervened, as did Judge Franks, and he was
immediately released with an apology. All records pertaining to both arrests
have disappeared. Subject was never convicted on any charges and seems to have
no arrest record whatsoever other than a few minor traffic tickets (speeding)
that are more than 10 years old.
In 1976, a (redacted) operative, (redacted) was instructed to make personal
contact with the subject and develop a close personal relationship to help the
Director determine the source and extent of the subject's information and then
to perform an executive action. This was
apparently accomplished, in part, and the subject was quite open about his
information, but not his sources. The operative gained the subject's trust to
such an extent that they formed a business partnership which allowed the
operative access to subjct's confidential files. From that he determined that
the subject's contacts were at the highest levels of US and other governments,
both military and civilian - even within our own agency. Subject had developed
close personal relationships with senators and congressmen, generals, US
ambassadors to China and Russia, the Russian ambassador and a host of
intelligence sources within the US, British, French and German governments,
yet careful scrutiny of his financial history shows he has never been on any
payroll for any of these agencies or individuals. There is no reason to
suspect espionage - unless he's one of ours. For some reason, (redacted)
refused to carry out an executive action and was apparently dismissed.
(Redacted) said he has no contact with the subject since.
Subject appears to have been black-balled from many employment opportunities
since and has been largely self-employed, surviving on a rather meager income.
It appears he may have both enemies and protectors at high levels of
government, probably without his knowledge.
In 1980, subject was Davidson County chairman of Rep. John Anderson's
presidential campaign and is believed to have had access to (or perhaps even
provided) information to Anderson regarding Iran-Contra and arrangements made
to delay the release of American POWs; Anderson then took this information to
President Carter. Subject's role politically has been confirmed by the
Nashville
Tennessean and through archives of local television interviews.
In 1981, he founded the
Phoenix
Foundation, "a non-profit research institute devoted to the future
survival of humankind" (source: Foundation literature). The
organization's work has served as the foundation for a number of books both
fiction and non-fiction, one television series (McGyver) and a number of
movies (Conspiracy Theory, Diamonds Are Forever, The Rock), as well as
hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles, TV news stories, etc.
National Baptist Publishing Board (1982?) - Subject was employed as a
typesetter, the only white employee out of 100+ blacks. He was named
supervisor of the graphics department, but forced out a week or two later -
allegedly because of racial hostility from an employee who had been passed
over for the position. The company is owned by T.B. Boyd; his brother, Allen
Boyd, remains a close friend of the subject.
In 1986, he published a book (booklet) about Iran-Contra, exposing Operation
REX-84 (a covert detainee camp project originated by Lt. Col. Oliver North).
This was seen on the desks of several members of the Iran-Contra Congressional
investigating committees as ABC-News cameras panned the room during breaks).
It also made front-page news in the
Nashville
Banner, which revealed a previously unknown relationship between the subject
and Senator (later
China
Ambassador) Jim Sasser. Sasser's personal correspondence to the subject was
obtained by the newspaper and indicated a close personal relationship. It also
revealed
that the subject has been acting as an "unofficial" advisor to
Sasser (and probably others in Congress and DOD) on advanced weapons systems
of a highly classified nature.
Subject's knowledge of these areas dates back to 1961-1963 when the subject
(as a 16-year-old student in high school) designed and built a reconnaissance
satellite using sophisticated ELF technology to monitor Soviet nuclear tests.
Project OBSAT (OBservation SATellite) was developed and incorporated into
presently-active recon satellites. Material support was provided by Boeing
Aircraft-Wichita (KS) and Western Electric (
Lee's Summit
,
MO
). Confirmation has been obtained through photos and in-house publications
issued by Boeing. Subject was a 1963 International Science Fair finalist for
OBSAT and was honored by the US Navy, US Army, US Air Force and NASA (source:
National Science Founation). The final status of OBSAT is highly classified
and beyond the reach of this agency. It is known that the subject was being
groomed for astronaut training as early as 1964, but was disqualified because
of vision deficiency.
Since that time, subject has come to be regarded as an international expert in
non-lethal RF weapons systems, ELF-induced weather control, ELF-induced
behavioral modification as well as issues related to extra-terrestrial
contact(?). His work has been widely quoted in books,
articles and Internet translations, but he seems to have profited very little,
if at all, from his research. He has testified as an expert witness in court
cases in Nashville (US District Court - L. Clure Morton) and Mississippi on
power line radiation and their alleged harmful effects (non-ionizing
radiation). He has given several public talks on his areas of expertise,
drawing as many as 500 attendees.
>From 1990-1998, subject hosted and produced a cable television show
cablecast to 1.3 million homes in Tennessee, Kentucky and Philadelphia (Drexel
University). The show was called "The Omega Report" and gained
international attention for some very puzzling things. Two weeks before the
bombing of the
Murrah
Federal
Building
in OKC, the subject announced on the show that the public should brace itself
for a very violent "terrorist" act that would not be what it seemed
to be, as he put it. He claimed on that show that the event would take place
to alarm the public into supporting "a draconian" anti-gun crime
bill that President Clinton had been unsuccessful in pushing through Congress.
The week following the bombing, he broadcast a show that went into details
about Iraqi involvement, and Timothy McVeigh's alleged "microchip
implant" and supposed "abduction experiences." The president of
CATV, a Muslim, ordered the show taken off the air, resulting in a public
relations disaster. Local Channel 2 News aired several stories and reported
it's switchboard was shut down by a high volume of calls protesting the show's
removal. Two board members of CATV resigned in protest and the station itself
was taken off the air for several weeks. The controversy resulted in a major
front-page story in The
Nashville
Scene (local weekly) and a five-part front-page series in the
Nashville
Tennessean. The controversy apparently ended after Mayor (now TN Governor)
Phil Bredesen ordered the station to halt its illegal censorship and return
the show; apparently Bredesen was a fan of the show, which also attracted the
support of several major country music stars and songwriters (inc. Mickey
Newbury and Hank Williams III). It also known that security personnel within
FEMA were providing the subject with information. This
"foreknowledge" of OKC could be regarded as a fluke, but several
years earlier, the subject had explicitly forecast the fall
of the Soviet Union and the dismantling of the
Berlin
Wall - 18 months before the fact. This attracted (redacted) attention with the
objective of determining where he was obtaining his information. Subject was
quite open, claiming he had developed a computer methodology that could be
used to successfully "forecast" global political developments and
demontrated to (redacted), Lt. Col.
USA
, how it worked. (Redacted) referred the technology to the NSA and DIA for
further development
He lives alone in a small cabin in Hickman County, without plumbing but with
heavy electronic and video surveillance, and seems friendly but somewhat
reclusive, according to neighbors. He has no ongoing romantic relationships
since one with Dr. (redacted) that ended in 2000. He has a small, but very
loyal and protective circle of close friends, and is said by many of them to
be "a spiritual counselor" who has "helped them through serious
crises" but appears to have no particular religious agenda or dogma.
One neighbor, (redacted), said he was "friendly and always helpful, but
seemed to stick to himself and never bothered anyone" and did not discuss
his past. She said she had a very positive impression of him, citing his
comforting actions on September 11, 2001 when she was "extremely
distressed" and crying as she watched the WTC bombing.
Many of his current writings are very spiritual in nature, but do not seem
aligned to any particular denomination or secular belief. In his political
writings, he has been both critical and supportive of various left-wing and
right-wing issues, apparently on an issues-based approach. He has, in the
past, been active in both Democrat and Republican campaigns, but considers
himself an Independent.
Another source, USAF Lt. Col. ret. (redacted), whose brother was DDCIA (now
deceased) had a very unfavorable impression of him and called him "a g-d
Commie." This individual had worked with the subject at the (redacted)
newspaper in Nashville and had apparently used some of his own
military/intelligence sources to try to unobstrusively investigate the subject
through interviewing neighbors, etc. (Redacted) felt the subject was being
"unpatriotic" by writing a series of artiles about "black
unmarked helicopters." The story was picked up and widely broadcast by a
Nashville
TV station (WTVF) which confirmed the accuracy of the articles, as did
Washington
enws correspondent Sarah McClendon.
CATV Director and former news director for (redacted) TV in
Nashville
, (redacted), reports a highly favorable impression and said he took over as
director in the middle of the controversy related above. He said he sought the
subject out for his information and advice, adding the Omega Report show was
the most popular the station had aired, to his knowledge. He said the subject
was regarded as "controversial" but that he found him honest and
patriotic with a high sense of ethics. He said the subject canceled the show
citing "burn-out" and plans to leave the city, which would make him
ineligible for further CATV membership.
Lt. Col. (redacted), USA, assigned to DIA, reported in 1996 that he had
approached the subject about the topic of "alien abductions" and had
urged the subject to form "an abductee support group", claiming that
USA had individuals in its employ whom they had reason to believe had been
abducted themselves. One of these individuals was an accountant involved in
"black bag" operations against foreign nationals and organized
crime; USA was concerned about what classified information this individual
might reveal during his alleged "abductions." Because of official
policy re: UFOs, "we couldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole." Subject
was informed that some of those who would attend meetings of such a support
group would be government employees with an "abductee" background
and subject was asked if he would help in counseling. He responded
affirmatively and did indeed set up such a group, though he himself insisted
on holding no "leadership position". Any actions or reports from
this endeavor are not available to this agency and are said to be classified
"beyond our need to know."
SUMMARY: There is no evidence of any illegal or questionable activity by the
subject involving espionage or treason. To the contrary, he appears to have
made considerable sacrifices in lost income and career opportunities to serve
various government agencies and officials in a somewhat covert capacity
without pay of any kind. In his early years, he would have seemed destined for
a very well-paying position in the aerospace or publishign industries, and was
determined to seek an Air Force career, probably as an astronaut. In published
and televised interviews, he has said that his life "changed direction
after the events of November 22, 1963" (assassination of President John
Kennedy).
His refusal to be inducted into the
USA
in 1968-69 might tend to indicate an anti-American mindset, but this is
certainly not supported by the totality of his actrions over his life. In the
news media and in some interviews with acquaintances, he has been branded as
everything from a "neo-Nazi" to "a Communist sympathizer."
Some newspaper accounts have labeled him an "extremist" even though
he has received death threats from right-wing militia members opposed to his
views on inter-racial relations. (At one of his public appearances, the Combat
Veterans of
America
[mostly ex-Vietnam vets] felt it necessary to station extra armed security in
the parking lot and metal detectors at the doors). He is known to have
employed minorities as trusted aides (usually volunteers since he had no funds
for salaries) and is known to have several close relationships with
minorities, and seems respected in both the minority and gay communities. He
also has neices and nephews of mixed heritage and was supportive of his
sister's marriage to an Afro-American, despite opposition from other family
members.
ADDENDUM: He is currently unemployed (self-employed?) as of 4-20-03, yet
serving as an unpaid advisor to various emergency management agencies in
Tennessee
and
Washington
. He designs web sites and provides business consulting services through
Phoenix Technologies and the Phoenix Foundation (independent contractor?) and
is officially the Emergency Agency Planner for Hickman County and Director of
the Hickman County Citizen Corps under the Department of Homeland Security.
His low-level income qualifies him both for TennCare and for food stamps. On
August 3, 2001, subject underwent emergency open heart surgery (quadruple
bypass) at St. Thomas Hospital-Nashville (covered by TennCare) and has been in
poor health since. His teeth are falling or breaking out (genetic defect?) and
he is unable to afford dental care, which may be one reason for his increasing
withdrawal from public contact. He is seeing a doctor in his county and has
allegedly been told he needs more heart surgery, but has declined. He is not
taking any prescription drugs, nor is he known to be a drug user, although (as
he himself admits) he did smoke marijuana in the 1970s - "and yes, I
inhaled." He has no known contacts with any drug dealers or users, as
determined through periodic surveillance.
He may be somewhat of an enigma, but is not seen as a threat to this agency,
and in fact may even be an asset if approached properly, considering his
ongoing connections, contacts and quality of information. He has been
approached previously by SAIC (redacted) about
serving as an informant, but adamantly refused, saying any relationship had to
be "open and above-board." He was helpful to the Department of
Homeland Security following 9-11, with information pertinent to the use of ELF
technology to implode buildings and also to destroy anthrax pathogens, but it
was strictly voluntary and unpaid. He is known to have been in contact with
some Cabinet-level officials on these matters, but the nature of those
contacts is classified at the request of the agencies involved. He appears to
have both detractors and supporters at various levels of government and
military agencies and there seems to be some unofficial "protective
cocoon" formed around him to safeguard him from harm or future
assassination attempts. His current low-profile, high-security living
situation makes surveillance extremely difficult and no further surveillance
attempts are recommended. DOJ internal affairs directives (see attached) are
very critical of surveillance activities that have already taken place. For
one, he lives a very open life and much of his life has been broadly covered

SAIC (redacted) DATE (redacted)

Did Oswald train at
Camp
Peary
?
By Paul Aron The Virginia Gazette Published March 30, 2005
A purported CIA memo circulating on the Internet says flatly that Lee Harvey
Oswald was trained at Camp Peary in 1958, five years before he assassinated
President Kennedy. The document is probably fake. “This is one of those
cases where if it seems too good to be true, it probably is,” said
assassination expert Jim Marrs in an e-mail to the Gazette. Marrs is the
author of the 1990 book, “Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy.”
The document, dated March 3, 1964, purports to be written by CIA director John
McCone to Secret Service Chief James Rowley.
“I have no way at this point in time of determining if this document is
authentic or not,” Marrs said. “As always, there is considerable
controversy even among the experts.”
He added, “The significance of this document, if proven authentic, cannot be
underestimated. The implication, namely that Lee Harvey Oswald was being used
operationally by the CIA prior to the assassination of President Kennedy, is
staggering. This means the assassination was not only a conspiracy, but a coup
d'etat in this nation in 1963.”
According to the document, “Oswald subject was trained by this agency, under
cover of the Office of Naval Intelligence, for Soviet assignments.” In 1957,
Oswald allegedly was “active in aerial reconnaissance of mainland
China
and maintained a security clearance up to the ‘confidential' level.”
The document goes on to say: “Subject received additional indoctrination at
our own
Camp
Peary
site from September 8 to October 17, 1958.” The mention of
Camp
Peary
prompted a reader to e-mail a copy of the document to the Gazette. While it
looks official and has the keystrokes of a 1960s-era typewriter, the image is
impossible to authenticate without the original.
Most historians have placed Oswald en route to
Taiwan
with his Marine unit in September 1958, in which case he couldn't have been
here then. A CIA spokesman at
Langley
headquarters outside
Washington
would not comment on the document, other than to suggest a reporter “steer
away from it.”
The CIA has always maintained it had no relationship with Oswald. Testifying
before the
Warren
Commission in 1964, McCone stated, “Oswald was not an agent, employee or
informant of the Central Intelligence Agency. The agency never contacted him,
interviewed him, talked with him, or solicited any reports or information from
him, or communicated with him indirectly or in any other manner.”
The
Warren
Commission's report, released 10 months after Kennedy's death, offered a clear
and simple answer to the question of who killed the president: Oswald did it,
alone. Though the document is probably a fake, a number of researchers have
previously suggested links between Oswald and the CIA.
Among the early critics of the Warren Report was Jim Garrison, the
New Orleans
district attorney. He undertook his own investigation in 1966. Garrison was
convinced that Oswald was connected with two New Orleans figures, David Ferrie
and Clay Shaw. According to Garrison, all three worked for the CIA, which was
behind the plot to kill Kennedy. Garrison's theory proved unfounded, despite
generating new attention in Oliver Stone's 1991 movie, “JFK.”
When I first received the McCone-Rowley memo
I thought that it was entirely new. Re-reading the orginal edition of Dick
Russell's The Man Who Knew Too Much
I was surprised to learn that he quoted from the document which he described
as being found in the National Archives. I thought that I might have found
confirmation of the authenticity of the document, only to discover throught
correspondence with Dick that his actual source was a tabloid article by the
same James L. Moore! I posted the following on alt.assassination.jfk on July
20, 2002 At this time I was in possession of the document but was not at
liberty to make it public.
Dick Russell, on p. 675 of his book The Man Who Knew Too Much quotes from a
memo dated March 3, 1964 from CIA Director McCone to Secret Service Chief
James Rowley. He says this document is "on record in the National
Archives". He quotes that Oswald might have been "chemically or
electronically 'controlled'...a sleeper agent. Subject spent 11 days
hospitalized for a 'minor ailment' which should have required no more than
three days hospitalization at best." He footnotes this with #11. Footnote
#11 in the back of the book seems unrelated. This is apparently an error in
the book. Footnote #10 however references an article published in the tabloid
Modern People "Oswald Was Brainwashed" by James L. Moore. This
article, which Dick was kind enough to send me, is apparently the actual
source for the McCone-Rowley memo, which must now be considered to be
questionable, lacking any independent evidence for the existence of the memo
beyond a tabloid article. The Modern People article contains further quotes
from this alleged memo, of a sensational nature. I quote:
"Oswald... was trained by this agency, under cover of the Office of Naval
Intelligence, for Soviet assignments. In 197, subject (Oswald) was active in
aerial reconnaissance of mainland
China
and maintained a security clearance up to the 'confidential' level.
"While in the
Soviet Union
, he was on special assignment in the area of Minsk.It would not be
advantageous at this time divulge the specifics of that assignment.
Speculation within this agency--and this is only speculation at this point--is
that Oswald became unstable following surgery April 1, 1961, in the
Minsk
Hospital
."
This is followed by the "sleeper agent" passage that Russell quotes.
I have been unable to find any reference to this memo that does not track back
either to Dick Russell or Modern People. James L. Moore has made other claims
that --while they could be true--cannot be verified. He claimed possession of
a secret 350 page report on RHIC-EDOM. He has also claimed to be the real
author of the Skeleton Key to the Gemstone Files, generally believed to be
authored by Stephanie Caruana.
One of the first areas I looked into relating to the
Kennedy assassination was the Gemstone Files. This led me into contact with a
former tabloid writer by the name of James L. Moore who, amoung other things,
claimed to be the real author of a summary of the Gemstone Files known as the
Skeleton Key. In an email to me dated Mon, 10 Sep 2001 he said:
I do (or should) have one document I've never released
because I'm still concerned over its authenticity, but it is a three-page
letter in which Helms, I think it is, acknowledges Oswald worked for the CIA
and was in Russia for that purpose, not as a defector. It discusses how this
information should be withheld from the
Warren
Commission - what can be said and what should not be said. I don't fully trust
it because of the way the letter is constructed, with the signature on the
third page in such a way that the first two pages could be fakes while the
last page is genuine.
Jim's memory was
obviously off slightly as the memo is allegedly from John McCone not Richard
Helms, as I discovered on June 5, 2002 when Jim Moore sent me the document as an
attachment to an email
These pages come from a file within the Warren
Commission Documents consisting of about 550,000 pages never published by the
Commission.

ARRB-
Testimony of Hal Verb
Dallas
, Texas
-- November 18, 1994
Hearing
MR.
MARWELL: Mr. Hal Verb.
CHAIRMAN TUNHEIM: Mr. Verb, we didn't have you on the list ahead of
time. Could you spell your name for the record?
MR.
VERB: Yes, my name is Hal, H-a-l, and the last name is Verb, that is
like pronoun, subject, V-e-r-b.
CHAIRMAN TUNHEIM: Go ahead, sir. Thank you.
MR.
VERB: I am from San Francisco
. I am a private researcher. I have been conducting research for
about 30 years, in fact, almost from the very first day of the
assassination because it was a tremendous event in American history,
still unresolved in my mind, and still unresolved in the minds of most
of the American public. That is why I am here, and that is why you are
here.
I am
here as a private citizen who is deeply concerned to know the full truth
about the assassination of President Kennedy. Today I wish to call
attention to a serious question that has long lingered about the event,
and that is precisely the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, and his
alleged association, connection or involvement with the U.S. Government
as a possible agent for an agency or agencies that represented the U.S.
Government.
Regardless of whether one believes or asserts that there was no
conspiracy or there was a conspiracy, the unresolved question of
Oswald's ties to the U.S. Government looms large and, indeed, hangs over
us like the proverbial Damocles sword, and that is over all of us,
including the U.S. Government, whether the U.S. Government is in any way
connected or not.
Now
I realize fully well that virtually no government reveals its agents or
its methods of operations, but in the matter of the President Kennedy's
death this question can no longer be ignored, and the longer it is
avoided the greater the harm that will befall us all.
To
focus the attention of the Review Board more closely in this regard, I
specifically call your attention to a radio program that I appeared on
in December 1966 which was several hours long and concerned the Kennedy
murder. I was in the radio station studio, this was in
Oakland , California , and the other half of the program was a
telephone hook-up to a Maryland writer and researcher Harold Weisberg
who had written and began a series of books called Whitewash, the
Whitewash series.
At
the end of the program, the program moderator received a call from an
individual who did not wish to be heard on the radio, and who stated he
wished to speak only to Mr. Weisberg confidentially. Now I was able to
hear the contents of this discussion, the entire discussion between Mr.
Weisberg and the caller, and the phone call from the individual who
insisted that he not be identified and who wanted to remain anonymous.
In fact, Weisberg asked the individual if you desire to come forward,
you always know how to reach me, but this individual never did step
forward.
I am
going to go into what the nature of this call was. The gist of the phone
call was this. The caller had been a barracks roommate of Lee Harvey
Oswald who was stationed at El Toro Marine Corps Base in California . The caller stated that about two
weeks before Oswald received his so-called alleged hardship discharge,
which is all over the record, can be established, he was constantly in
the CID Headquarters being briefed for a mission overseas.
The caller provided the
information that Oswald also had a crypto secret clearance.
Now
I raise this matter because if, indeed, the CID was involved in such an
event -- I am not here to state flatly that they did engage in this, I
don't know, I want the evidence to be presented -- it would necessarily
follow that the ONI, which is the Office of Naval Intelligence, must
certainly have been aware of this. It just boggles my mind.
I at
one time served in an intelligence section during the Korean War, and it
is impossible for me to believe that the CID could not have had in some
way connection or approval by the ONI.
Now
I mention ONI because there is a lot of speculation in the literature,
some of which you may have read, you may not have, and none of this
speculation has proven to be final, and this speculation is pointing to
Oswald being connected in some capacity with the ONI. Other writers will
suggest FBI, CIA, my concern here is with the ONI.
Recently Professor John Newman, who has appeared I believe at the last
hearing, he has been looking into this matter, and has stated that as
significant portion of the ONI files relative to JFK have been
destroyed. There are still remaining, however, at least two boxes of ONI
files that still have to be gone through. I have not, myself, seen these
so I do not know what the nature of those files consist of. I believe it
is incumbent upon this Board to reach a fairly definitive determination
as why, when and how these ONI files were destroyed and whose
responsibility it was for the destruction.
Since ONI files necessarily involve the Navy Department, it appears
evident that those individuals from the Secretary of the Navy on
downward, and those immediately below charged with their necessary
responsibilities be asked precisely about the issues and points raised
in my statement today.
If
this is not done, history will not be served, and the American people
will once again, as in prior investigations, be the ultimate losers.
Respectfully, that is my -- I will be willing to send you this entire
statement in a letter which I will forward to the Board, and I will
answer any questions that you have about this.
CHAIRMAN TUNHEIM: Thank you, Mr. Verb.
Any
questions?
DR.
GRAFF: What do you mean, Mr. Verb, by crypto security clearance?
MR.
VERB: Well, a crypto secret clearance has to do, as the caller explained
-- I didn't get into it further. Actually crypto secret clearance is
mentioned in the Warren Commission documents, in its actual Warren Commission volumes.
I found that out after having looked into it. You can find them.
Crypto secret clearance is a very specialized high security clearance
that very, very few people would obtain in any capacity, and it is
interesting to note that at this time while Oswald was in the Marine
Corps he was receiving "Communist literature," so you have a
pro-Communist, Marxist having crypto secret clearance.
I
talked to a General who was an aide to President Kennedy, who
accompanied President Kennedy, I asked him about crypto secret
clearance. He knew about it. He said, I have not confirmed this, that
the only way that you could obtain crypto secret clearance is that you
had first top secret clearance. Crypto secret clearance had to do with
black box stuff, which is the information provided on atomic warhead
missiles in case of atomic attack. I understand the Strategic Air
Command has the capacity for this kind of information. I don't know
precisely the nature of it, I haven't looked into it further.
But
I have spoken to people who have had crypto secret clearance, many
people, in fact, that I have spoken to who have pretty much asserted
that what I have learned through this broadcast and other means turns
out to be fairly accurate, and I only go by what I can document. I am
not interested in speculation. I do not go by hearsay to the extent that
I simply believe every single theory. I want documentation to prove what
can be clearly set in the record and determined to be the truth.
DR.
HALL: Have you made requests of the United States Government?
MR.
VERB: No, I have not. I have not. In fact, I have never issued a single
FOIA request in the years that I have been doing this, although I have
relied on other FOIA requests from other -- not necessarily connected
with this particular issue, but I have interviewed people who would have
been in a position to know precisely what this kind of clearance was,
and the nature of ONI and related matters.
DR.
HALL: Well, the issue that you raise, of course, is one that goes to the
availability or the destruction of materials held by the
United States Government.
MR.
VERB: Exactly.
DR.
HALL: May I ask why you decided or have foregone the opportunity to use
the Freedom of Information Act?
MR.
VERB: To be quite honest, I am primarily involved in so many other
areas. My area that I have been looking into is the photographic
evidence, and that takes an enormous amount of time. I write letters and
receive letters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In
fact, I should mention one important thing that may go to the heart of
the matter. I recently received a call from a person who took Oswald's
place in the Marine Corps in his very position after he left and went to
Soviet Russia . I hope to be in
communication with this person to find out precisely what the nature, if
he knows anything at all, about crypto secret clearance.
SEE
http://whokilledjfk.net/roy_schaeffer.htm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So
my answer would be, I simply have not had the time to do this. If you
have been involved in this case, it is very time consuming. I have a
full-time job during the day. I am not a member of any particular group
or organization, nobody is sponsoring me. All the money I have put into
this basically simply because I desire the truth, and I think justice
will be served if the truth is known.
DR.
HALL: I do think it is the case that part of what the Board is
interested in is the efficacy and efficiency of the Freedom of
Information Act as it relates to this matter, so my questions are
directed to that issue and not directed necessarily to your personal
capacity.
MR.
VERB: I understand that. Right.
CHAIRMAN TUNHEIM: Other questions?
[No
response.]
MR.
VERB: Thank you for the opportunity.
CHAIRMAN TUNHEIM: Thank you, Mr. Verb. We appreciate your being here

Testimony of Roy Schaeffer
Dallas, Texas -- November 18, 1994 Hearing
MR. SCHAEFFER: My name is Roy Schaeffer and I am a private citizen,
and I never met Hal Verb, but I am --
CHAIRMAN TUNHEIM: Could you spell your name for the record?
MR. SCHAEFFER: Okay, it is S-c-h-a-e-f-f-e-r.
CHAIRMAN TUNHEIM: Thank you.
MR. SCHAEFFER: I am the person Hal Verb mentioned, I am the person
who replaced Oswald after he left El Toro in 1960. He left in 1959, and
I joined his unit. So I did have a crypto clearance. I don't want to get
into that.
Basically, what I would like to mention is, I am a private probably
an assassination buff more or less. In 1986, I contacted Jim Garrison,
and before he died he had sent -- well, when he got the Zapruder film
down at the trial on '66, he ran off 100 copies. Sometime in 1989, you
know, I received a copy from him, and then I have been researching using
a copy of the 100 that was made.
Now what I had found then at first, you know, I am interested in this
flawed editing of the Zapruder film, and I wondered, Zapruder said that
he had set his camera on a film speed of 24, and so over the years it
got me thinking. In 1963, I worked for the Dayton Daily News, and Hess &
Eisenhart was the company that rebuilt the Presidential Limousine, so I
had gone down there with a fellow reporter because I had like a
scientific background.
Okay, so anyway what was unique about that time was the emergency
lights on the Presidential car. Now the lights were interesting in one
aspect, they blinked, they would blink on one side and then on the
other. So one problem I had in -- so I know there was a constant blink
rate. Now, I have taken a lot of eight millimeter film. In other words,
if something has a constant blink rate and you are photographing it
through, like Zapruder, that Bell & Howell camera, then it would show a
constant rate.
In other words, if it found that the blink rate was .41 seconds, so
it would show a rate of nine blinks in the film. Now what I had
submitted, I believe you have that record I gave to Mr. Gunn, I plotted
from 133 to 238, and the pattern does not show up that way. So I am
suggesting, you know, to yourselves that that proves that alterations
was done to the Zapruder film.
Also on the night of the assassination, what I believe, the film --
in other words, Zapruder took the film to the Kodak lab in Dallas. Now I
have some film expertise. I served a six-year government sponsored
apprenticeship in film, and that had what they call a 14K process. This
14K process is how they developed Kodachrome. It is quite complicated.
At that time, the only place that had that process was here in Dallas
next to Love Field, and that was at the Dallas Eastman-Kodak lab.
From my information on the Max B. Phillips minimal, I think Paul Halp
talked about that on Commission Exhibit 450, that it shows that the
Zapruder film, and I believe three copies were flown to Washington the
night of the assassination, I believe they were taken into -- they had
five hours from my timetable. I worked with a Dr. James Fetzer on this,
and also Mike Pinser, he is an attorney. So any way, I interjected on
that, but anyway I lost my place when I said that. Could you help me? I
lost my place.
DR. HALL: You were saying only the Dallas Eastman-Kodak lab.
MR. SCHAEFFER: Okay. So anyway, it is a very complicated process, and
it takes about 45 seconds, so it is called the K-14 but the 14K process
because it is what they call a subtractive process. It is a reversal
film that like comes into a color transparency after it is developed.
So, in other words, I believe that they took the original film to the
National Interpretation Lab and at that point they altered it down to
approximately 18 frames per second. Like I say, in 1960 -- so what I am
saying is that I believe Frame Z-133 to 238 is where they altered that.
Now the way I found that out was, I personally had the film and I
went through and I plotted each blinking light per frame, and that is
how I derived that the film was altered. Unless you have the actual
film, you can't -- there is no way you can determine that.
So that is pretty much what I had to say. I thank you for your time.
CHAIRMAN TUNHEIM: Any questions for Mr. Schaeffer?
DR. NELSON: I have one. You say you replaced
Oswald, that is to say you took over all of his functions, his job?
MR. SCHAEFFER: That's correct.
DR. NELSON: Which were? What was the job assignment?
MR. SCHAEFFER: We worked at TACC, Tactical Air Control Center,
basically, and it was basically tracking IFF boxes. In other words
Strategic Air Command, and then they had like IFF boxes. And then they
would set those in the morning, and then your crypt orders would come
down from Washington, and they were like Zulu Time Rated, 24-hour time,
and then there was what you call
authentifications. So that is what a person that has crypt does.
So our job was, when the planes left the United States through the
EDACs area was to clear them and plot them, and so that was basically
what our job function was there at El Toro, and I am sure Oswald did the
same thing.
MR. MARWELL: Mr. Chairman, in fact, Mr. Smith had signed up earlier.
CHAIRMAN TUNHEIM: Thank you, Mr. Schaeffer, we appreciate your help.
MR. SCHAEFFER: Thank you.
ARRB-
Testimony of Hal Verb
Dallas
,
Texas
-- November 18, 1994
Hearing
MR.
MARWELL: Mr. Hal Verb.
CHAIRMAN
TUNHEIM: Mr. Verb, we didn't have you on the list ahead of time. Could
you spell your name for the record?
MR.
VERB: Yes, my name is Hal, H-a-l, and the last name is Verb, that is
like pronoun, subject, V-e-r-b.
CHAIRMAN
TUNHEIM: Go ahead, sir. Thank you.
MR.
VERB: I am from
San Francisco
. I am a private researcher. I have been conducting research for about
30 years, in fact, almost from the very first day of the assassination
because it was a tremendous event in American history, still unresolved
in my mind, and still unresolved in the minds of most of the American
public. That is why I am here, and that is why you are here.
I
am here as a private citizen who is deeply concerned to know the full
truth about the assassination of President Kennedy. Today I wish to call
attention to a serious question that has long lingered about the event,
and that is precisely the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, and his
alleged association, connection or involvement with the U.S. Government
as a possible agent for an agency or agencies that represented the U.S.
Government.
Regardless
of whether one believes or asserts that there was no conspiracy or there
was a conspiracy, the unresolved question of Oswald's ties to the U.S.
Government looms large and, indeed, hangs over us like the proverbial
Damocles sword, and that is over all of us, including the U.S.
Government, whether the U.S. Government is in any way connected or not.
Now
I realize fully well that virtually no government reveals its agents or
its methods of operations, but in the matter of the President Kennedy's
death this question can no longer be ignored, and the longer it is
avoided the greater the harm that will befall us all.
To
focus the attention of the Review Board more closely in this regard, I
specifically call your attention to a radio program that I appeared on
in December 1966 which was several hours long and concerned the Kennedy
murder. I was in the radio station studio, this was in
Oakland
,
California
, and the other half of the program was a telephone hook-up to a
Maryland
writer and researcher Harold Weisberg who had written and began a series
of books called Whitewash, the Whitewash series.
At
the end of the program, the program moderator received a call from an
individual who did not wish to be heard on the radio, and who stated he
wished to speak only to Mr. Weisberg confidentially. Now I was able to
hear the contents of this discussion, the entire discussion between Mr.
Weisberg and the caller, and the phone call from the individual who
insisted that he not be identified and who wanted to remain anonymous.
In fact, Weisberg asked the individual if you desire to come forward,
you always know how to reach me, but this individual never did step
forward.
I
am going to go into what the nature of this call was. The gist of the
phone call was this. The caller had been a barracks roommate of Lee
Harvey Oswald who was stationed at El Toro Marine Corps Base in
California
. The caller stated that about two weeks before Oswald received his
so-called alleged hardship discharge, which is all over the record, can
be established, he was constantly in the CID Headquarters being briefed
for a mission overseas. The caller provided the information that Oswald also had a crypto
secret clearance.
Now
I raise this matter because if, indeed, the CID was involved in such an
event -- I am not here to state flatly that they did engage in
this, I don't know, I want the evidence to be presented -- it would
necessarily follow that the ONI, which is the Office of Naval
Intelligence, must certainly have been aware of this. It just boggles my
mind.
I
at one time served in an intelligence section during the Korean War, and
it is impossible for me to believe that the CID could not have had in
some way connection or approval by the ONI.
Now
I mention ONI because there is a lot of speculation in the literature,
some of which you may have read, you may not have, and none of this
speculation has proven to be final, and this speculation is pointing to
Oswald being connected in some capacity with the ONI. Other writers will
suggest FBI, CIA, my concern here is with the ONI.
Recently
Professor John Newman, who has appeared I believe at the last hearing,
he has been looking into this matter, and has stated that as significant
portion of the ONI files relative to JFK have been destroyed. There are
still remaining, however, at least two boxes of ONI files that still
have to be gone through. I have not, myself, seen these so I do not know
what the nature of those files consist of. I believe it is incumbent
upon this Board to reach a fairly definitive determination as why, when
and how these ONI files were destroyed and whose responsibility it was
for the destruction.
Since
ONI files necessarily involve the Navy Department, it appears evident
that those individuals from the Secretary of the Navy on downward, and
those immediately below charged with their necessary responsibilities be
asked precisely about the issues and points raised in my statement
today.
If
this is not done, history will not be served, and the American people
will once again, as in prior investigations, be the ultimate losers.
Respectfully, that is my -- I will be willing to send you this
entire statement in a letter which I will forward to the Board, and I
will answer any questions that you have about this.
CHAIRMAN
TUNHEIM: Thank you, Mr. Verb.
Any
questions?
DR.
GRAFF: What do you mean, Mr. Verb, by crypto security clearance?
MR.
VERB: Well, a crypto secret clearance has to do, as the caller explained --
I didn't get into it further. Actually crypto secret clearance is
mentioned in the Warren Commission documents, in its actual Warren
Commission volumes. I found that out after having looked into it. You
can find them.
Crypto
secret clearance is a very specialized high security clearance that
very, very few people would obtain in any capacity, and it is
interesting to note that at this time while Oswald was in the Marine
Corps he was receiving "Communist literature," so you have a
pro-Communist, Marxist having crypto secret clearance.
I
talked to a General who was an aide to President Kennedy, who
accompanied President Kennedy, I asked him about crypto secret
clearance. He knew about it. He said, I have not confirmed this, that
the only way that you could obtain crypto secret clearance is that you
had first top secret clearance. Crypto secret clearance had to do with
black box stuff, which is the information provided on atomic warhead
missiles in case of atomic attack. I understand the Strategic Air
Command has the capacity for this kind of information. I don't know
precisely the nature of it, I haven't looked into it further.
But
I have spoken to people who have had crypto secret clearance, many
people, in fact, that I have spoken to who have pretty much asserted
that what I have learned through this broadcast and other means turns
out to be fairly accurate, and I only go by what I can document. I am
not interested in speculation. I do not go by hearsay to the extent that
I simply believe every single theory. I want documentation to prove what
can be clearly set in the record and determined to be the truth.
DR.
HALL: Have you made requests of the United States Government?
MR.
VERB: No, I have not. I have not. In fact, I have never issued a single
FOIA request in the years that I have been doing this, although I have
relied on other FOIA requests from other -- not necessarily
connected with this particular issue, but I have interviewed people who
would have been in a position to know precisely what this kind of
clearance was, and the nature of ONI and related matters.
DR.
HALL: Well, the issue that you raise, of course, is one that goes to the
availability or the destruction of materials held by the United States
Government.
MR.
VERB: Exactly.
DR.
HALL: May I ask why you decided or have foregone the opportunity to use
the Freedom of Information Act?
MR.
VERB: To be quite honest, I am primarily involved in so many other
areas. My area that I have been looking into is the photographic
evidence, and that takes an enormous amount of time. I write letters and
receive letters.
In
fact, I should mention one important thing that may go to the heart of
the matter. I recently received a call from a person who took Oswald's
place in the Marine Corps in his very position after he left and went to
Soviet Russia. I hope to be in communication with this person to find
out precisely what the nature, if he knows anything at all, about crypto
secret clearance.
So
my answer would be, I simply have not had the time to do this. If you
have been involved in this case, it is very time consuming. I have a
full-time job during the day. I am not a member of any particular group
or organization, nobody is sponsoring me. All the money I have put into
this basically simply because I desire the truth, and I think justice
will be served if the truth is known.
DR.
HALL: I do think it is the case that part of what the Board is
interested in is the efficacy and efficiency of the Freedom of
Information Act as it relates to this matter, so my questions are
directed to that issue and not directed necessarily to your personal
capacity.
MR.
VERB: I understand that. Right.
CHAIRMAN
TUNHEIM: Other questions?
[No
response.]
MR.
VERB: Thank you for the opportunity.
CHAIRMAN
TUNHEIM: Thank you, Mr. Verb. We appreciate your being here today
