I watched "Lee Harvey Oswald: 48 hours to Live" in full for the first time on CNN yesterday. Nothing much new or shocking, except a story I had never heard before. It is said that Marina found other prints of the infamous backyard photos in a baby picture book, AFTER the second (warrant) search of Ruth Paine's house. It is claimed that she slipped them in her shoe and took them with her to DPD to have her last meeting with LHO, to ask him if he should destroy the photos or not (not knowing the cops already had other copies and negatives).

Curious that she still felt enough residual loyalty towards her "estranged husband" (who she had just refused to live with after being begged three times two nights before) to contemplate becoming an "accessory after the fact" (to borrow a legal phrase from Bugliosi) by destroying material evidence. Curious that the story is news to me at least, which implies that she actually did keep the pictures concealed. Curious that the cops didn't find the photos (and confiscate them as they did all the other photos), during their unrestricted search of the premises. Curious that pictures of Oswald wound up in baby's scrapbook. Curious also to me is the fact that the mother didn't know that prints of the backyard pictures were in her baby pictures book (I know every baby picture of my kid in her scrapbook by heart and can tell you their provenance).

I also note that the link on Dorothy Kilgallen's wiki page which is supposed to refer to Marina's belief that the BYP were altered links to the wrong thing.

What is the origin and truth of this story?
I vaguely remember that story, but don't remember the source. Marina told so many stories to so many people in the 60s and 70s, I don't find her a credible source. I understand that she was trying to cooperate with the authorities so she wouldn't be deported back to the USSR, but I just can't rely on her.
This is in Bugliosi's book.

In fact, you will find it in the WC. Look at Marguerite's testimony.

But as Greg Parker points out, what is curious about it is that Marguerite wants to talk about it but the WC does not! And Bugliosi ignores this fact.

As Parker points out, the problem with this is that Marguerite is describing still another pose!

This does not at all jibe with Marina's description of the number of pictures she took. So the WC tried to dodge the questions about it.
After the trash 60's reporting by CNN on the assassination I would not trust a thing on CNN on this case now. The pics are fake, LHO said it himself, that it was his head superimposed on another's body. It's been settled as long as I can remember. Except with LN apologists.

CNN is a direct CIA propaganda organ. It is the monstrous embodiment of a direct studio for Mockingbird. I only watch it to monitor what next outrage they are committing. I try not to watch it otherwise. It should be divested and destroyed as a matter of self-defense.


The only reason they do any show on Oswald would be to lock the official story in place while omitting the DiEugenio level material that refutes it.
