See, that's the thing really.. From my own research into this entire case I think, if anything, the evidence points to Oswald being innocent, not
guilty, crazy, delusional etc. I mean, and this is just purely my point of view here, but I really do think he was working with Intelligence. Many
signs point to it. Right from where he was in Atsugi, Japan in fact where we know he was doing Intelligence work but on a minor scale - As I'm sure
you know he was recruited and his "mission" was to gain Intelligence from local prostitutes who were asking odd questions and were suspected KGB
recruits. And I'm sure I don't need to tell you about 544 camp street, or Oswald's odd route back to America or his personal affection for Herbert
Philbrick and Intelligence work, his connections to Clay Shaw, Guy Banister, Cuban organisations, his altercation in the street with a certain Carlos
Bringuier and so on..
In my opinion he was working with Intelligence and more than likely thought he was working for the good guys, maybe he even thought he was taking part
in a mission to stop an assassination plot like other researchers have brought up thus why he ended where he ended up after the assassination took
place (rather close to Jack Ruby's residence), I just don't know. But I do strongly believe he was involved in this world, particularly undercover
work.
In regards to the actual assassination itself - I think all the information we have points to him being on either the first or second floor of the
TSDB at the time the assassination was taking place, certainly not the 6th floor at the time of the assassination. He was seen before it and he was
seen here in less than 2 minutes after it by Police Officer Marrion Baker. And as Jesse Curry once famously said to Tom Johnson: "We don't have any
proof that Oswald fired the rifle, and never did. Nobody's yet been able to put him in the building (Texas School Book Depository) with a gun in his
hand."
He did after all attempt to assasinate Gen.Walker.
Well, we don't know that for sure really. He was only suspected of this after his own demise after all. And from looking at the Walker case it seems
as though Oswald was, if anyone, not the only one involved if involved at all..
In December 1962, Felipe Vidal Santiago had a meeting with a lawyer connected to a "Citizen's Committee to Free Cuba". He told Vidal about a
conversation he had with Henry Cabot Lodge, who had been told by Walt Rostow, that John F. Kennedy was exploring "a plan to open a dialogue with
Cuba." Vidal was furious about what he considered to be an act of betrayal and immediately told leaders of the anti-Castro community and his CIA
contact, Colonel William Bishop. According to Dick Russell, Vidal was also "an information conduit for" General Walker.
On 10th April, 1963, Walker was victim of an assassination attempt while he sat at a desk in his Dallas home. It was later claimed that Lee Harvey
Oswald had taken the shot at Walker. Marina Oswald reported that she "asked him what happened, and he said that he just tried to shoot General Walker.
I asked him who General Walker was. I mean how dare you to go and claim somebody's life, and he said "Well, what would you say if somebody got rid of
Hitler at the right time? So if you don't know about General Walker, how can you speak up on his behalf?." Because he told me... he was something
equal to what he called him a fascist."
However, there was a witness to the shooting. Kirk Coleman saw two men making their escape, one stopped to place something in the back of his Ford
sedan, then they both drove off in different cars. As Oswald could not drive this has raised serious doubts if he could have been involved in this
attempt on Walker's life.
Larry Hancock argues in his book, Someone Would Have Talked, that Felipe Vidal Santiago traveled to Dallas on several occasions between 31st October
and 21st November 1963 in order to raise funds for the anti-Castro exiles. This included meeting Edwin Walker. On his return to Miami he "reportedly
stated that Walker had no further interest in Cuban affairs." However, Gerry Hemming has claimed that Vidal obtained money from H. L. Hunt, who had
been largely responsible for funding Walker's campaign for governor in Texas. Clint Murchison and Gordon McLendon have also been suggested as possible
contributors to Vidal's operation.
Afer the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a photograph of Walker's home was found among Oswald's possessions. When the photograph was
turned over to the Warren Commission by the FBI, a hole had been pushed through it right in the spot where the license plate on the car had been,
making the car unidentifiable (it did not belong to Walker). Another photograph, taken by the Dallas police, showed Oswald's possessions laid out on
the floor of police headquarters. This included the photograph of Walker's home, without the hole obscuring the license
plate.

And I know you didn't write the article and saw you pointed out the mistake.But that's kind of what I'm getting at here..see facts are wrong.You,me
and everyone else who studies this knows it's wrong.There's lots of other so called facts that have been reported as being true..someone reading about
this in passing is going to take it as the truth.Get me?
Yeah I think I get what you mean here and It's a perfectly fair point to make - I wish Beattie did a little bit more research before posting that as
well. Sigh. One of the reasons why I'm looking for a video as well here is because I want to see the words come out of his mouth, not be told he said
this or that, or I don't want to go to youtube and listen to a "Radio Interview" and so on. I want to see it myself. I assume there is a video out
there somewhere, maybe even like something similar to what we saw with the last Moorman interview.
McClelland may be incorrect as well as I think you was hinting at there but to be honest I don't see why they wouldn't come out now. I mean the 50
year anniversary is coming up after all and money is there to be made - And believe me, I think we ought to expect a rather big boost in books and
documentaries from various different sources over the next few years here - That's not to say that what they're saying is necessarily un-true though
as well.. It may just mean that they see a good opportunity to share their story and get a buck or two at the same time, you know what I mean?
I understand your concerns there though, they're at least fair ones to have. I can understand them. Skepticism can only ever be a good thing as well,
in my opinion.
