No Nuke Wars are Good Wars

[Steve M. Galbraith]

One of the oddest decisions by Warren, one that indicated that someone was directing him, was his order for the WC to not interview Sylvia Duran, the Cuban secretary who met Oswald in Mexico City when he sought a transit visa. According to the two WC staffers who were assigned the Mexico City question, David Slawson and William Coleman, they went to great lengths to arrange an interview. Slawson said that some figures in the CIA (Ray Rocca) actively helped them find Duran and to arrange a meeting. After lengthy negotiations with Duran's lawyer, they finally had something set up to present to Warren. But Warren was, according to Slawson, adamant about not allowing it. Note: Duran would testify to the HSCA.

Earl Warren was correct in that the WCR stood on its own and has for almost 62 years. The fact that many people don't accept it is an indictment of them, not the WCR.

Warren was also correct in that they laid out all the evidence they had collected in the 26 volumes. Many of the eyewitness accounts were contradictory and the WC did what they could to resolve those conflicts. In so doing, they gave very logical reasons why they accepted one person's account and not another's. When they were unable to resolve the conflicts, they said so and gave their reasons why. That is why they could never say for certain which of Oswald's 3 shots was the miss which also prevented them from determining how long it took him to fire all three shots.

That’s why Oswald the AMERICAN citizen  Marxist defector was the ideal guy to frame ( or just let him shoot because LBJ already had info the kook was like the other kook Thomas Arthur Vallee) and Oswald was employed in the TSBD.

This  way the Marxist indoctrination of an American citizen could be blamed without directly accusing the USSR. Thus the Vietnam conventional arms war ( for profit) to stop the further spread of this insidious Marxist ideology from subverting all of Southeast Asia was to follow.

LBJ rewarded his good friend, Harold Byrd, owner of the TSBD, a contract to make A7 Corsair fighter aircraft for the Vietnam War. It’s probably just coincidence that Byrd removed a window from the 6th floor TSBD after the shooting and hung it on a wall in his house with other animal heads.

If Oswald was a patsy, he was the most cooperative patsy ever. He did everything imaginable to make himself look guilty. He brought a long bag into the TSBD which had his palm and fingerprints at the bottom and contained fibers matching the blanket he kept his rifle in. He stayed out of sight when the shots were fired. He wore a shirt that matched the fibers found on the butt plate of the rifle. Then he fled the TSBD minutes after the shooting. He went to his rooming house to get his revolver and minutes later he murdered a cop. Then when he was about to be arrested, he tried to shoot one of the arresting officer. How gullible does one have to be to think he was framed?

How does that indicate he was part of a conspiracy to kill JFK?

But they didn't say his "Marxist indoctrination" was the cause or motive for the assassination. They said they didn't know why he assassinated JFK. It could have been some mix of personal and political reasons including his commitment to Marxism.



You think they blamed Oswald's Marxism for the assassination in order to justify the Vietnam War?

Verily.

Earl Warren also met Jack Ruby in the hoosegow in Dallas, and Ruby begged to be taken to Washington, DC so he could speak his mind freely. Ruby hinted he feared retribution.

Even if Warren thought there was a 95% chance Jack Ruby had become paranoid, in a case like this, I think the onus was on Warren to bring Ruby to a perceived safe location, and ask Ruby to tell everything he knows.

My take is the WC had settled on the LN narrative early on (with assistance of the FBI), and was "building a case" in that direction. The WC and staffers may have been earnest in that assessment.
