LEE OSWALD, HIS CO-WORKERS, AND THE BOOK DEPOSITORY ELEVATORS. On Friday, November 22, 1963 (the day of President Kennedy's assassination), a group of Texas School Book Depository employees (who were working on the sixth floor of that Dallas textbook warehouse before lunchtime) "raced" the two freight elevators to the first floor shortly before noon, with 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald being the only employee who decided not to join his co-workers downstairs for lunch. Oswald, instead, stayed on the sixth floor when the other employees took the elevators downstairs. Oswald even asked for one of the two elevators to be sent back up to him. I can't quite figure out, however (via the witness testimony), if an elevator actually WAS sent back up to Oswald or not. But if an elevator was sent back up, Oswald probably left the gate open after it was sent back up to him; by doing this, the elevator would have been stuck on the sixth floor.
Before he joined James Jarman and Harold Norman on the 5th Floor around 12:15, Williams left his empty lunch sack and Dr. Investigators at the Texas School Book Depository · JFK Witnesses.

Solving JFK Podcast | JFK Assassination. Lee Harvey Oswald Not Guilty | Oswald in the doorway | Oswald Innocence Campaign. Trail of Destruction, Pt. 11: A Dead CIA Station Chief's Possessions Vanish. [Editor’s Note: This is the 11th installment in the JFK Facts series, “Trail of Destruction.” The final installment will appear next Wednesday.] On April 26, 1971, Winston MacKinley (“Win”) Scott — the CIA’s Mexico City station chief from 1956-69 — died suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack. At only 62, he had collapsed in his home, in the capital of a country where he had wielded immeasurable political power as the virtual “proconsul” of the United States government.
One of the longest-serving CIA station chiefs in history, Scott retired south of the border to pen an autobiographical novel. But very soon after doctors in Mexico City had declared him dead, a high-ranking CIA functionary arrived at his home and seized his manuscript and anything else he found interesting. The Possessions of Lee Harvey Oswald: Mystery Items – debunked. According to a note found among the inventory paperwork concerning Oswald’s possessions, the accused assassin had halves of two one-dollar bills in his wallet.
Both of these items have disappeared. Many observers, including researcher John Armstrong, have felt that these fragments were to have been used as some form of signal for a rendezvous, a sort of spy ID. (The above-mentioned Cox’s box top has also been theorized to have been such a device.) While evidence for these fragments are scant, it is known that, as reported in the Sedalia (Missouri) Democrat of April 9, 1969, counterfeit $10 bills (1963 Series) were passed in Sedalia which featured the same serial number as one of the Oswald bills (F38355215A). This strongly indicates that Oswald may have been involved in some way with (or possibly investigating) a counterfeiting operation at the time of the assassination. Home / Previous / Next. Taking Care Of The Star Witness - by George Bailey.
Some attention is given to a trust fund set up to accommodate donations given to Marina Oswald, Lee's widow after his death. She received donations from all over the country from sympathetic Americans for the widowed mother with two young children. The amount was $75,000, donated from people around the country. Lee Oswald’s older brother Robert was one of the signatories to the trust and relayed this information in his Warren Commission testimony. However, this was not the only amount of money Marina received. Before she was called to give testimony, in February of 1964, Marina signed a contract for a film on her life, TV appearances and interviews with news magazines. She was paid a total of $132,350.

(Originally posted at Oswald’s Mother in October of 2011.) What impact did women have on the life of Lee Oswald? There seems to be few studies completed on this subject. Obviously there is no evidence of any woman being influential enough to push Lee along a path towards political assassination, that is if he were involved, or provide guidance for his political views.
Undeniably his mother plays the first and longest influential role, though one strained from a haphazard upbringing for not only Lee, but brother Robert and half brother John Pic. Into adulthood, the three brothers would have little interaction with their mother. What follows is a look into four of the most important women in Lee Oswald’s life and a common thread that bonds them all together. The Mother Now here is an odd bird. She had a history of baffling business dealings as well. She always maintained that her son Lee was some sort of government agent. But here is the oddest thing about this odd bird. The Cousin The Wife. These Six Assassination Files Can Clarify the JFK Story in 2024. “It’s unlikely that somewhere in a CIA vault they have a document that says we did it,” Joseph Uscinski, a University of Miami political science professor told McClatchy News in December 2022 upon the release of several thousand JFK files that had long been partially classified.
“So, I’m not exactly sure what people think they’re going to get.” I have a pretty good idea of what we’re going get from the last of the JFK files: corroboration that certain top CIA officers were running a covert operation involving Lee Harvey Oswald when President John F. Kennedy was killed. Such disclosures will lend credence to Rob Reiner and Soledad O’Brien’s popular podcast “Who Killed JFK?” (7 million downloads and counting), which says the president was ambushed by enemies of his liberal foreign policies on Cuba, Vietnam and the Soviet Union. Straight Talk from the FBI Agent at JFK's Autopsy. James Sibert was one of two FBI agents who attended the autopsy of President John F. Kennedy at the Bethesda Naval Hospital on the night of Nov. 22, 1963. As one of the most important witnesses in the JFK assassination story, Sibert was guarded all his life about what he saw of the gunshot wounds that ended the life of the 35th president.
Director J. Edgar Hoover made clear he wanted no questioning of the government’s “lone gunman” theory, and if Sibert crossed Hoover, his career was over. But Sibert was a meticulous agent who had attended several hundred autopsies. So when Kennedy’s body was brought out for examination by pathologists at Bethesda Naval Hospital (with a gallery full of unidentified generals and admirals looking on), he and fellow agent Francis O’Neill described what they saw in an official report, now available on the excellent British site, 22 November 1963.

At Least John Judge Got A Mention - by George Bailey. (Originally posted at Oswald’s Mother in 9/9/12.) Here we go again. Noted JFK researcher and co-founder of the Coalition on Political Assassinations (COPA), John Judge, is interviewed by mainstream journalist Molly Redden. Redden does a lot of work for New Republic but this article, Stirring the Plot, appears on the Washington City (DC) Paper's website. The only redeeming part of the article is mentioning Judge's work on his project to found the Museum of Hidden History.
And herein lies the problem we have presenting our information to these mainstream writers. Unfortunately, it doesn't help matters much to show a picture of John Judge looking completely demented. Redden's article has an awkward vibe to it. These mainstream writers like Redden know how radioactive conspiracy thought is and how damaging it could be to a journalist's reputation to trek down that particular rabbit trail. Not done, Redden soldiers on. I've said it before and I'll say it again. N.Y. Times: The CIA Read Lee Harvey Oswald's Mail. MFF v. Biden Heads to Trial - by Jefferson Morley. The Mary Ferrell Foundation has won its day in court, which is why you should consider supporting the group with a donation. On July 14 Judge Richard Seeborg issued his first—but not last—ruling on the foundation’s lawsuit against President Biden and the National Archives for failure to enforce the JFK Records Act.
Seeborg’s 17-page decision dismissed three counts of the foundation’s lawsuit while rejecting Justice Department motions to dismiss three others. The ruling means the foundation’s lawyers can litigate for —immediate disclosure of all records generate by the Senate’s Church Committee and the House Select Committee on Assassination; —a federal investigation of the Secret Service’s destruction of JFK files in 1995; and —overhaul of the Archives’ dysfunctional finding aid to the JFK Records Collection.
The Foundation is the only organization fighting Biden’s June 30 edict on JFK Records and its reliance on an ill-named CIA “Transparency Plan.” Thank you for reading JFK Facts. Share. More on the Missing Air Force One Tape. Missing JFK Evidence: The Air Force One Tape. [This piece first ran on JFK Facts in 2013.] When audio engineer Ed Primeau learned in 2011 about a previously unknown recording of radio communications to and from Air Force One on Nov. 22, 1963, he volunteered his own time and expertise to enhance the tape for public consumption.
That was the day the President John F. Kennedy was shot dead on a Dallas street and the new President Lyndon Johnson and First Lady Jackie Kennedy flew back to Washington with JFK's body. "I thought this could really be exciting," Primeau said in a phone interview. "I've always been fascinated by history and the JFK conspiracy questions. " Primeau, known nationally for his work analyzing recordings heard in the Trayvon Martin murder trial, worked with JFK researcher Bill Kelly at no charge to enhance the tape. The result is an important, if incomplete, historical document, largely ignored by mainstream news organizations in the decade since its discovery. How Many JFK Documents Remain Secret? - by Jefferson Morley. After President Biden’s June 30 announcement on JFK files, reporters have been calling the Mary Ferrell Foundation asking for basic some basic information. The National Archives claims that 99 percent of JFK files have been released but thousands remain redacted.
People want to know. Is the 99 percent figure accurate? How many JFK files did the president release? “That 99 percent figure is a throwaway number that sounds impressive to some audience perhaps,” said foundation president Rex Bradford in an email to the New York Times. He went on My best guess is that the number of records with redactions is more like 4,000 or so, based on a number NARA [National Archives and Records Administration] put out earlier.
Bradford is the creator and webmaster of MaryFerrell.org, the internet’s largest collection of searchable JFK records. (48) Late on a Friday Night, Biden Guts the JFK Records Act. On June 30 President Biden issued an executive order asserting the 1992 JFK Assassination Records Act is no longer in effect. “With my final certification made in this memorandum -– the last required under the Act – and definitive plans for future disclosures, my Administration is fulfilling the promise of transparency to the American people,” Biden declared, while acquiescing to demands of national security agencies that portions of thousands of assassination-related documents remain out of public view. “On May 1, 2023, the Acting Archivist informed me that the review process was complete,” Biden stated, "and recommended that I postpone the public release of certain redacted information in the records certified for temporary postponement of public release in the December 2022 Memorandum.”
Biden, who voted for the JFK Records Act in 1992, accepted the intelligence community’s claim that disclosure of these forty, fifty, and sixty year old documents will harm the United States in 2023. Oswald's Mother. (48) CIA Assassination Squad [Redacted] - by Jefferson Morley. A Small Batch of JFK Files Released - by Jefferson Morley. Mary Ferrell Foundation Seeks to Block Biden's JFK 'Transparency' Plan. JFK researchers filed a motion in federal court last week seeking a court injunction to block implementation of President Biden’s December 2022 order on JFK assassination records. Charging that the White House and National Archives “have unlawfully postponed the review, identification and transmission of additional assassination records,” attorneys for the nonprofit Mary Ferrell Foundation asked U.S. District Chief Judge Richard Seeborg of the 9th District Court in San Francisco to block enforcement of a CIA-authored “Transparency Plan,” now scheduled to take effect July 1.
The foundation, which hosts the largest collection of JFK assassination records on the internet, sued Biden and the National Archives last October for failure to enforce the JFK Act. The June 9 motion of injunctive release is part of that lawsuit. The JFK Records Act, signed into law by President George H.W.
