JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: Peter Dale Scott The Mexico City Tape And Photographs
« Last post by Steve M. Galbraith on Today at 12:45:05 AM »The vague description Hoover uses, "the man" implies that Hoover didn't know who he was.Yes, but apparently (he can correct me) he thinks Hoover was lying on the call; that Hoover was aware of the plan to send this person to impersonate Oswald. Hoover knew who he was and what he was up to. That seems to be what he is suggesting.
BTW, at the time, Hoover was 1500 miles away from Mexico City and 1200 miles away from Dallas, where the surveillance materials were being examined. How would he really know? After all, he was wrong about tapes being sent to Dallas.
Why Hoover would even discuss/reveal this supposed plot is not explained. By discussing it and then releasing the transcript later he is *revealing* the plan, this impersonation. Lose that transcript; or edit the part about the impersonator out. And why would the CIA release the photo of the man they supposedly sent (or knew about) to impersonate Oswald? This too exposes the plan. Burn that photo. None of this makes sense. Hell, why use this person to imitate Oswald? This is the best they could do? It's absurd.
Add to this that the Soviets never exposed this supposed impersonation - the man is clearly not Oswald. In fact they said the man they met *was* the real Oswald and that the man in the photo was another person who never identified himself as Oswald but was someone else.
But if the only way you can interpret this information is through a conspiracy perspective then all of this is ignored.
