THE JFK CASE: THE TWELVE WHO BUILT THE OSWALD LEGEND (Part 11: The Paines Carry the Weight)

The premise of this series is that Oswald had twelve people who built his legend. Many people still believe the legend about Oswald being "a loner". As this series shows, Oswald was many things, but a loner was not one of them. His ability to provoke people and work both sides of the political spectrum had the intelligence agencies viewing him as an asset.

Let's turn to a liberal couple that moved to the Dallas suburb of Irving in 1959 - during the same week that Oswald came to visit his mother in Irving before he left for the USSR. When Oswald came back to the area in 1962, the Paines were still there. It was like they had been waiting for him.

Michael Paine was legend maker #12 for Lee Oswald, while his wife Ruth Paine focused on taking care of Marina Oswald and the children. Like most of the legend makers, I think the Paines were manipulated as much as the Oswalds were. We have seen two CIA officers as legend makers - Richard Snyder and Anne Goodpasture - who I think had a pretty good idea of how they were being used to massage the Oswald legend. The Paines appear to be confused right up to 11/22/63. Although the Paines appear to be government assets rather than agents, I suspect that they knew about the government's need to keep an eye on Oswald. They probably thought that they were helping out the CIA, the State Department, or Bob Odum at the local FBI office. I do not believe that they played any role in planning the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Good Article!...but don't know if others have, but I find it almost impossible to cut/paste the references - my word processing program keeps crashing. Anyway, also very good on this topic, as mentioned by Simpich, is the one by Linda Minor here. I'd note the connections to Cord Meyer [who helped to murder and silence his ex-wife Mary Pinchot] and the very strange [and from my research non-coincidental] event of M. Paine working just under Nazi Gen. Walter Dornberger at Bell just as LHO was being set up as the patsy at his home by salting his things in the garage, etc. But everything about both Paines and their family is interesting and abnormal.....much more than meets the eye. The 'investigations' glossed over their intelligence connections as they did Oswald's....on purpose.

I sure wish he had his own blog or website to post the articles on. The format on that OpEdNews is really awkward.
