Because of him I now see the "suspicious" Oswald spotted by the shoe store owner as making two moves to make sure he was reported. The first would be acting deliberately suspicious in the shoe store in order to get noticed. The second would then be bolting in to the theater to make sure the police would follow. It always bugged me that Oswald would be stupid enough to walk down a crowded street and draw attention to himself by acting noticeably suspicious. This didn't make sense for someone who could stare at a cop with a gun drawn on him in the Depository with cool calmness. What the CIA double did was make sure Oswald was noticed by going into the shoe store and acting suspiciously. Remember, this was the same person who had already gone around making sure Lee Harvey Oswald was noticed by people at the shooting range, car dealership, and with Ralph Yates. Dammit it took us long enough to figure out that this was just yet another sheep-dipping of Oswald in the shoe store to bring attention to him - only it was the final fatal one. Once noticed, Harvey bolted in to the theater. When I first found JFK Assassination internet sites I was hot on the MK-ULTRA aspect because I had the intense instinct of two separate personalities in the evidence. My senses were on the right track only I never considered something so obvious and bold as a double operation right in the mix of the main evidence.

Anyone want to discuss HARVEY & LEE? - Albert Doyle - 13-03-2011 No. Clearly the "Oswald" in the shoe store was Harvey. Just like the many other CIA jobs he did in Dallas where he tried to draw attention to Lee Harvey Oswald he was trying to draw attention to him one last time in the shoe store. Something he had gotten good at from all the practice he had before where he went around Dallas making sure people thought Lee was a dangerous nut. Now that Douglass has illustrated the true dimensions of this we can assume Harvey was perfectly safe and probably had CIA watchers protecting him through all this. He also had to have such people watching when he shot Tippit because the operation could in no way allow an Oswald double to possibly be shot by Tippit and therefore expose the operation. These watchers then sprang Harvey after he was arrested and taken out the back of the theater. The Dallas police are obviously deep in to this and must have stayed quiet by illegal CIA commands. You can now see the purpose the Bush fascists had in trying to create completely Constitutionally illegal anti-conspiracy theory laws. .

There is a facebook battle going on about this work, so today I searched out this thread and posted it on my page....I wanted people to read post 42, John's amazing speech. Well one person in particular. As Jack predicted JVB is posting all over the Harvey and Lee facebook page trying to disprove it. So I felt a need to fight back with the facts. Seeing all these posts from Jack made me sad since he is no longer posting. I hope he is doing bet ter than I last heard. JUdyth is very ill so why she is wasting her time trying to disprove all this is most annoying to me. IF her story is true, and I have always believed her, she knew Harvey a brief time in the summer of 63. Though I find my self with some serious questions. WHY would she speak to a stranger in Russian? A guy at the post office. And then her defender said Lee learned Russian from little cards. That summer. John has certainly totally disproved this. It was great to go back and re-read that amazing speech. I will await comments from the defender. I see Jim F never did have that OJ moment, not here. He certainly protested at the EF. The "exile" thread. Judyth now needs help, I wonder if he is willing to send her some cash. I agree Peter, Harvey and Lee is THE book on the curious entity known as LHO. Dawn Anyone want to discuss HARVEY & LEE? - Jim Hackett II - 24-04-2012 This book takes time because so much is presented. I find it best to absorb it in pieces before taking in the next portion. In that I am not finished I suppose my comments will at this time have to be of a "for what its worth" nature. As Dawn observed it did not take long for me to conclude the veracity and depth of research executed by Mr. Armstrong. As for the social network fiascos I do not know of it as I don't do that stuff. A waste of my time IMHO. I wanted to post my own opinion of this work even if I am not done reading. I hope that we can compliment Baylor University for both providing the future access to Mr. Armstrong's working papers as well as they have done for Gen. Penn Jones. Jr. USA (retired) archives as well as. Compliments I would add to those above for Mr. Jack White. This opinion is of long standing since the days of the aborted H.S.C.A. investigation. My own naiveté at that time, considered the conspiracy of the JFK coup to be a small one from the Intell/DOD houses (a few rogues) enforcing silence of the USG by holding dirty laundry from JEHoover's FBI files. Then I saw and bought Jack White's Many Faces of Lee Oswald poster. It began my own reevaluation of my conception of the Coup of November. Thank You Jack White for that awakening and for the presentation of Mr. Armstrong's speech and etc. above as well as your other efforts unmentioned here. Thank You Mr. Armstrong. Best Regards to all Jim ======================================================================================================== I once swore an oath to defend and protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. That oath NEVER expires, even when one no longer wears a uniform. I think Fletcher Prouty and Penn Jones Jr. would agree. It is our Republic and I want it back. Semper Fidelis. Anyone want to discuss HARVEY & LEE? - Linda Minor - 14-05-2012 I have read that John Armstrong became fascinated with the subject of "Harvey and Lee" after seeing a portfolio of Jack White's photos of Lee Harvey Oswald and impersonators. I came across this statement while doing research on Edwin Ekdahl, Marguerite's third husband. Some time back I had become aware that Ekdahl's father was Swedish, his mother and sister were born in Denmark, and that his first marriage was to a Danish citizen who was born in China. Ekdahl actually married her while he was in China, working for a Massachusetts-based poultry and egg company in Shanghai. Their son was born in Tsingtao, China. Ekdahl brought them to Massachusetts in the 1930's before divorcing the wife. For a while he worked in the Boston area as an engineer involving highway problems for a local government study. Out of the blue, we learn that after WWII began he turned in New Orleans in Jan. 1943 as a consultant with Ebasco, created in 1935. According to wikipedia, "The Electric Bond and Share Company was originally a holding company that sold securities of electric utilities. It was created by General Electric in 1905. The company was restructured after the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. Later known as EBASCO Services, it provided engineering consulting and construction services. Among other projects EBASCO designed nuclear power plants. EBASCO was sold to Raytheon in 1993 and became part of a Raytheon subsidiary, United Engineers and Constructors." http://www.thefreelibrary.com/RAYTHEON+COMPLETES+EBASCO+ACQUISITION+FOR+$210+MILLION-a014747711 Ebasco was based in New York, but sent Ekdahl to New Orleans, where he met Marguerite either before or while we worked at a hosiery shop. However, I have seen nothing that tells me how they met--through the workplace, living close to each other, mutual acquaintance or what. If anyone has seen this explained, I would appreciate finding this out. Reading through Armstrong's book, I discovered that he totally ignored one of the addresses Ekdahl shared with the Oswald family. I recently wrote up the research in a blog post: http://quixoticjoust.blogspot.com/2012/05/colossal-failure-to-research-ekdahl.html In the process of doing this research, I discovered what to me appeared to be a huge conflict of interest for Jack White, a Fort Worth native. He worked for an ad agency called Witherspoon & Associates, which also did public relations work. One of the firm's clients at the time White worked there was either Ebasco or the Texas Electric Service Co., the very company which employed Edwin Ekdahl at the time he met Marguerite, courted her in Dallas, married her in Rockwall, Texas, then moved her to a nice brick house in Benbrook before the two older boys returned from Chamberlain-Hunt academy for the summer of 1945. http://jfkassassination.net/russ/testimony/pic_j.htm There was another statement in Pic's testimony that intrigued me because of previous research into the relationship between Sid Richardson, Clint Murchison and their political cronies. I wrote about this several years ago and recently posted on a different blog: http://wherethegoldis.blogspot.com/2012/03/wealth-vassal-to-power.html According to John Pic, his mother and Lee had moved into Benbrook, quite near the ranch of Elliott Roosevelt and his wife, one year after the Roosevelts moved out and conveyed their ranch to an unknown person who sold it to Sid Richardson not long before the Federal Government (Corps of Engineers) purchased it and Amon Carter's wife in 1952 pushed the button to cover the ranch under Lake Benbrook! The first question that hit me was, "Why did John Armstrong ignore this detail?" If anyone has the answer, I'd love to hear it. |
