Hail those that c+p fron David Icke
Why, do you seriously think it might be a forgery?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....
DrJazzz said: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.
Masseuse said: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"
"How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?"
bristle-krs said: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?
There is a wider issue here, and the shit-smell of American Politics doesn't go away even after 40 years.
err, so was OBL and Ho Chi MinhDrJazzz said:This is new stuff. He was a CIA agent.
The point is surely a fairly obvious one?
bristle-krs said: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.
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.bristle-krs said: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?

Jangla said: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.
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'.FridgeMagnet said: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'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.
ill-informed said:how does an american go about seeing the document? (not that i'm an american of course)
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.DrJazzz said:You're entitled to question whether it is genuine or not.
why doesn't one of the conspiracy types email the national security archive and determine the true provenance of this memo?
don't think any evidence supporting this should be shot down in flames in the way it has been in this thread.

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!kyser_soze said: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.
I'll look forward to you producing this post where I "proclaimed it must be a forgery".DrJazzz said: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).
