Gus Russo's View on JFKA

[Ben McKenna]

After the shooting Oswald is winging it, wandering around Dallas with no purpose. It all seemed so last second.

Exactly how how Joseph Milteer said it would happen...

The soldier was one of Oswald's handlers. Oswald was their target. He had no confederates, only handlers.
I don't understand why everyone thinks he was some kind of cosmopolitan international James Bond.


On Nov. 9, 1963, 13 days before the Kennedy assassination, Milteer had a lengthy conversation in a Miami, FL apartment
with a childhood friend, Willie Somersett, in the course of which Milteer told Somersett about a plot
that was afoot to assassinate JFK. Unknown to Milteer, Somersett, a secret informant for local Miami
police, was surreptitiously tape‐recording the conversation. In that conversation Milteer confided that the killing of Kennedy “was in the working;” that the president could be killed “From an office building with a high‐powered rifle;” that the rifle could be “disassembled” to get it into the building; and that “They will pick up somebody within hours
afterward, if anything like that would happen, just to throw the public off.”

Joseph Milteer stopped by the soldier's house in Mississippi in November of 1973, exactly 10 years after the assassination. They drank a few shots of whiskey and discussed the Citizen's Council. Four months later in February 1974 he was fatally injured in a "camping stove accident".

SMG-

Thanks for your collegial comments.

Some quickies:

1. LHO may have brought the rifle into the TSBD earlier, as in overnight, or in parts. The 11/22 bag, as seen Wesley's Frazier's car, does seem a little small.

2. There are memos from Hoover 11/24 that the JFKA perp is in custody. LBJ was also loath to fully explore LHO's links, and told Earl Warren so. The Katzenbach memo.

AI-generated: "Yes, the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico in 1963, Thomas C. Mann, had immediate and significant knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald's suspicious activities in Mexico City (trying to get Soviet/Cuban visas), suggesting ties or at least awareness of Oswald's interactions with Soviet/Cuban contacts that linked to the assassination, but was told to stay quiet; Oswald's Mexico City trip involved alleged phone calls, potential impersonation, and links to KGB assassin Kostikov, all part of a complex intelligence situation where the CIA was monitoring him, creating deep secrecy and questions about who knew what about Oswald's Mexico City dealings."

As I recall, Ambassador Mann lost his job over this matter. I think it is fair to say LHO's foreign connections were downplayed by the WC, and then largely overlooked by the HSCA (which was Mafia-obsessed under Robert Blakely, or CIA-obsessed on the part of some staffers).

Now, usually left-wing ideologues say this was all a clever plot to cover up US security agency and globalist-capitalist warmonger management and involvement in the JFKA.

Victor Marchetti offered that the CIA was covering-up intensive KGB infiltration of the CIA.

To me, it suggest that leads linking LHO to G2 or KGB were not followed up as much as they should have been.

As stated, my read on the Z-film is that there had to be a second gunsel somewhere behind to JFK limo, and also likely someone behind the GK smoke-and-bang show.

OK, were the LHO accomplices G2-affiliated? No one knows.

My guess is G2 and KGB are more likely than CIA or US security agencies.

Alpha 66 is interesting also.

So is Ben McKenna going to name his mysterious "soldier" that he keeps posting about in multiple threads? You know, the one who was Lee Oswald's "handler" ? Let's see some ... any! ... evidence.
