Lee Harvey Oswald was trained by the CIA, declassified memo reveals

FridgeMagnet said:
Well, it would *appear* that way, wouldn't it? I trust you have carefully researched this particular document's origins though before posting it, and can now give us a run-down of them....
Why, do you seriously think it might be a forgery?
 
You're the one who posted it - you tell me how and where it arrived into the public domain.

I don't know. I've not even googled. But then I didn't post it up. I'm interested, go on, tell me. Something that sensitive must have an interesting history behind it.
 
I noticed the David Icke source.

I figured I'd ignore it - it's too easy.

I don't want to attack Dr Jazzz on this thread... I was just tutting...

There is a wider issue here, and the shit-smell of American Politics doesn't go away even after 40 years.

It can only get worse.

It would appear to come from the Government of the United States, and more specifically the from the Director of the CIA at the time. Can you read it ok fridge? I know the print can look small when reproduced.


Right then Jazzz,

I can't read this document.

But I'm gonna pin my fillings to you on this one and give "the benefit of the doubt", without question.

It would be "brilliant" if it is, as you purport, a US Govt. doc'.

I will follow this thread.

And buy you a beer, either way, later this year.


So peeps.

PROVE it ain't what Jazzz says it is!

Or, if you can't....Admit so, and lay off!

This is why governments get away with so much shit.

Because when they are eventually found out people still don't want to believe it. Or can't be bothered because it was a long time ago. I can't believe the pathetic response to this.

"Oswald was a cia agent"
"Prove it"
"Here's an official government memo"
"I've gone blind and I don't care and you're still a tinfoil hatter anyway so there".

Doesn't matter if you're looking at Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Lennon, or any other symbolic leader who threatened certain power structures. They all get bleedin offed don't they.

And by "lone gunmen" :rolleyes:

"How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?"


Word Mass!

there are far more pressing matters to hand than working out the precise breed causing the fishy stink under the corpse of jack (or bobby, or daresay malcolm or martin).

over the years there have been countless 'definitive' analyses of conspiracy and/or cover-up; countless 'confessions' by guilty men, accessories to the fact and subsequent to the fact. the mountains of scholarly works and the fruitcake green ink studies alike, let alone the classified documents periodically buried and unearthed, and then buried again, represent such a colossal reading pile that no one - no one - could ever hope to (i) absorb all the information; (ii) weed out the red herrings; and (iii) synthesise the truly useful documents into a credible, truthful narrative.

the star-fucker is gone.

governments and their agents do terrible, brutal, horrible, cruel, inhuman things. they did them then, and they do them now. so let's concentrate on the now, and the future too. let's arm ourselves with knowledge and understanding, and a love of life and honesty and a grim determination to avenge the victims, to honour the dead, and protect the innocent.

somebody got away with it in 63. but let's not pretend it's not happening today. and what matters more - 41 yearsback, about which we can do nothing tangible, or now, when we can do so much?


And Word to that too krs!

:)

yr all missing a vital and obvious point.

have any of you ever seen a declassified yankee document which didn't have lots of black marker on it? i suspect that the highlighted sections of the memo above were blacked out and have been replaced by the Nutty Icke with conspiracy nonsense. why doesn't one of the conspiracy types email the national security archive and determine the true provenance of this memo?

i don't disagree with you on this principle. i can't.

but we have to be pragmatic. the war continues - a dirty, bloody, brutal conflict in which we are the casualties. but the choice is ours: to fight lost battles from the past, or to win victories today, tomorrow..?

we know bad things happened back then. but do we expend all our energy exactly who did what when and for what motive, forty-one long years ago? or do we accept that yes, there was evil afoot, even though we are not entirely sure what precise form that evil took, and move forward to tackle the evil that lurks today?

we don't have the resources, the time, the energy, the tools, to divine the whole truth of that sordid chapter. but what we do have is a real and just as potent evil to tackle here, to tackle now.

choose ya weapon.

True enough. But if we don't have an accurate picture of what has passed, we cannot have an accurate picture of the here and now. By finding out what has passed in history we can better define our current state and the likely outcome of any action we may take in a given circumstance. For example, if we take an action based on our perceived history and this perception is innaccurate, how can our choice of action be valid?
 
perhaps i'm not making myself clear: how can you get a clear picture of that day 41 years ago, given the ludicrously vast swathes of data?

would your energy not be better spent tackling injustices here, now?

No, you are making yourself clear. The huge amount of information (and misinformation) is indeed a barrier but new pieces of information should at the very least be verified and if placed in the information pool may well negate other peices fo information, resulting in a slightly clearer picture.

Of course more energy should be spent on the here and now but not to the point that new information relating to our history and therefore relating to the definiton of our present should be ignored. I suppose it's all about balance and the validity of each individual revelation should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
 
Look, killing Kennedy made no essential difference to the course of either US or world history.

In historical terms, his assasination was an irrelevance.

A far more important assasination - where we know for a fact that the CIA was involved - was that of Patrice Lumumba, whose murder helped drive the former Belgian Congo into dictatorship, lunatic levels of corruption and finally civil war and social catastrophe in which three million people have died (so far).

Excellent post as are your others here masseuse.

okay; are you saying the document posted above counts as 'new evidence'? because (i) it doesn't seem to be a smoking gun to my eyes, it doesn't say anything new; (ii) where is the provenance to go with it?

You're entitled to question whether it is genuine or not. What I don't want is on the one hand people to go "this document is so extraordinary so it must be a fake' - and then, when authenticity has been establised, to turn round and say 'well it's neither here nor there'.

I'm confident it's genuine, it's appearing on other sites (not that that necessarily means it's good), but it would be ridiculous for someone to attempt to forge a document which they claim is declassified - for it is within the bounds of any American Citizen to source the document for themselves. Plus, the document makes perfect sense. ;)

Fair?

Aye!

how does an american go about seeing the document? (not that i'm an american of course)

File a Freedom of Information Act request with the CIA.

And then re-file when they nit-pick over you not specifiying the precise document, if the officer dealing with it's having a bad day.

It would make things soooo much easier if you bothered to check the authenticity of the material first and gave it some credible context before starting yet another thread making a bold, emphatic declaration of conspiracy-tastic 'fact', DrJ.

Why are you always unable to do this?
 
why doesn't one of the conspiracy types email the national security archive and determine the true provenance of this memo?

Excacly......and why are posters saying don't pick on the good Dr. when it was him who started the thread with a bold statement implying it is fact?....If it were real I would have no doubt that Dr. J would not have found it on the internet somewhere.....Jesus fucken Christ, how gullible are you guy's?

don't think any evidence supporting this should be shot down in flames in the way it has been in this thread.

Perhaps Mass. if it wasn't so bleeding obviously a faked document, it wouldn't be ridiculed so quickly.


I don't believe one word of it, because there is no fucken way that a document that valuable would be suddenly found on the internet. DavidIckes website no less.... :rolleyes:
I suspect Dr. J is fishing for a different conspiracy to tout instead of 911.
 
If it's a genuine declassified govt document it will be available from a govt source or similar. Is it presented as genuine anywhere but CT sites?
 
There is the other possiblility.

The memo says that LHO was trained by the CIA. Therefore, assuming the docs genuine, we can say that LHO received unspecified forms of CIA training.

What we don't have evidenc for is any kind of employment or further contact LHO had with the CIA once this unspecified training was completed, if indeed it was.

That is ALL the document can allow to say Dr J - it does not provide a scrap of evidence that LHO was in the active employ of the CIA as an operative, informal or otherwise. It just says they trained him.

No kyser - read the last paragraph on the page. It says the CIA used him for Soviet assignments, in Minsk. A CIA agent. And the fact that Oswald had spent time in Russia was always touted as evidence that he was a pinko commie for whom offing presidents would be a career goal. Right!

Oh, and the last time I produced a document, and editor proclaimed it must be a forgery because it wasn't appearing in the mainstream media, was the Schoedinger vs. Bush rape lawsuit. It was genuine. Schoedinger went on to commit suicide, apparently (gunshot to the head).

I'll look forward to you producing this post where I "proclaimed it must be a forgery".

Oh and I see you still haven't bothered to check the authenticity of the material you're proclaiming to be fact in the thread title.

You never fucking learn do you?
 
The thread has long since been deleted, editor.

But I have a firm memory of it, and you vigorously questioned that the document I had put up an image (the court application) was genuine; because it wasn't appearing in the mainstream media, but 'conspiracy' sites. Your argument was protracted and vociferous. However, it was genuine, yet there was no admission that you had been mistaken - and you went straight on to arguing that the court case meant nothing.

And here, you are questioning whether this one is genuine. I'm pretty confident that it is. As I said, there would be little point in forging a declassified government memo, because you would certainly be found out. Yet, you must appreciate that it's beyond me to fly to America and source the document for myself.

The document pictured I think has first appeared on 'Libertythink' http://www.libertythink.com/2004/09/oswald-was-cia.html who claim that it was obtained by www.jfkmurdersolved.com (who, incidentally, offer what seems a very plausible candidate for the assassination).
