Opinions on Roscoe White story?

[Seamus Coogan]

The R. White story is always a good [soft-spot] place to mount an attack the research community, generally. Not saying this is what Rose is doing....but do keep it in mind - perhaps he's just interested in the topic. IMO, Roscoe White was definitely NOT one of the guards of the 'tramps'.....and doesn't even look like any of them - and NO ONE THERE reported he was. [this is like the driver shot JFK] Who the hell cares what a Mafia boss said as to who did what, when, where? A few of the Mafia were tasked to do some specific things within the context of the assassination, due to their past connections with CIA et al., but none of them gave away anything other than eliminating Roselli so he couldn't 'sing' any more to the HSCA. If Rose is interested in the R. White story, I'd suggest he do some research on it. One place with some current information is in Into the Nightmare by McBride. Also, research the REAL story [and the fake hype] of the Ricky White story about his father. Roscoe White was connected to Mil Intel and was placed in the DPD a bit before the assassination. He was seen by two persons on the Knoll [N. one]. He knew Tippit and Ruby. He did photographic work for the DPD and very likely was involved in front of and/or behind the camera in the making of the BYP - as one of the variations was discovered at his home, plus the work by Jack White on the stance, build and elbow injury. White's death is HIGHLY suspicious after he left the DPD a while after the Assassination. I have a source on R. White who doesn't want me to go into the details they have given me at this time. The source is/was in intelligence, and what they told me only confirms that White was emplaced in the DPD for the upcoming event of the assassination; and that he [White] had a hand in [at the minimum] the BYPs - along with one other man, who's name has not yet come forward. White may also have played further roles re: actions in the Plaza, transport of Oswald, and/or the silencing of Tippit. The story made up and then promoted via otherwise reliable researchers [the Ricky White fairytale] was to cover up R. White's real role in the assassination - which would clearly show conspiracy and point to some of the entities involved. Tackling the Roscoe White story needs a very advanced understanding of how disinformation is used to cover-up real information. The cover-up of the JFK case is as active as it was on the day it happened. ::

Great replies to the topic mate. The issue is Peter after reviewing your replies is that I would like DPF to be a welcoming forum. Despite our differences of opinion I have found you a pretty welcoming guy. Mr Rose' seizing of your initiative and trying to order this forum around is laughable.

In many ways it is, however, as you know we have just had to many people front up rather than ask a question. They then begin pushing an agenda. A good example of someone who turned up at DPF was our own Vas Vazakos. He came in said hello and was respectful. It's the ones who as Lauren has said that push the line and think they know it all. I appreciate what Tracey has said as well, maybe, I should be more patient. The problem is when people breeze through the threads and they see a subject like White and see someone rabbiting on unopposed this forum and its members get tarred with that brush. It was something CD was worried about. He eventually went overboard; nonetheless, a way in which we could be vigilant. Yet allow genuine people to join, learn, and participate is important.

It would be great if we could strike that balance. I think with the caliber of peeps on the forum we can do it. For example we could get rid of the White shooter bollocks, and keep the thread running on the possible manipulation of Oswald by White. Nevertheless, I think Mr Rose has had something of a credibility fail. Lets not forget this thread was started sometime ago and Mr Rose after viewing the disdain for Mr Ortiz decided to ram it home again. What on earth has made the guy think a second time might work here?
