John Armstrong's Harvey and Lee

[Jim Hargrove]

The answer to this question - who had knowledge of LHO's inteligence files and background - provides major clues pointing towards the identity of the Facilitator(s) who selected him as a patsy in the assassination of JFK.

Off and on all day today, I wondered if a similar approach to Jan's exercise above could lead to the identities of Facilitators outside the CIA, assuming any exist, and the results, so far, are admittedly mixed. But....

The evidence suggests FBI leadership was in full cover-up mode within hours of the assassination. By 11/24, the day Ruby shot Oswald, associate director Clyde Tolson wrote to Belmont saying the "results of the investigation have been reduced to written form.... Oswald is responsible for the shooting that killed the President. We will show that Oswald was an avowed Marxist, a former defector to the Soviet union and an active member of the FPCC, which has been financed by Castro. We will set forth the items of evidence which make it clear that Oswald is the man who killed the President."

JA's opinion is that Hoover would not have ordered a cover-up on his own unless he had foreknowledge of the hit, and that sounds right to me. If a prescient Hoover took no action to stop the slaughter, then he was surely a Facilitator by almost anyone's definition!

But if Hoover wasn't a Facilitator, he must have been immediately ordered by someone to assassinate a real investigation, and who had the power to do that? Who had the power to tell J. Edgar Hoover what to do?

And, most researchers will probably agree, one more man was appointed to the Warren Commission who could help steer the cover-up and keep the identity of the Facilitators hidden. This triumvirate surely participated in the cover-up at the highest level. That accepted, the question then becomes, did any or all of them have foreknowledge, and will we ever know if they did?
