Title: Why Dallas?
Post by: John Mytton on September 07, 2018, 02:18:36 AM
Why would the conspirators pick Dallas for the assassination then be faced with the problem of having to deal with the Dallas Police, the Parkland doctors, getting Kennedy out of Dallas, getting the evidence across the country and basically just having no control?
When all "they" had to do was do it all in Washington where they would have had more control of virtually everything.

Why would the conspirators pick Dallas for the assassination......? 
It was perfect.
The cops were crooked...hated Kennedy...so did the mayor, big business men like Muchinson and Hunt...Dealey Plaza was ideal-under complete control by the authorities. A little big city then and very vunerable.

That is quite correct. The ideal patsy.

That's right. Oswald lived in that city and worked in that building. It was a perfect fit requiring very little planning with just an ounce of luck.

And an Oswald epiphany as soon as he found out the motorcade would pass right under his nose.

Some people sit by his graveside and sing Happy Birthday every October 18; some just post admiring messages on the internet; some, I'm told do both.

He was a hero right until the end. Sensing that a crazed nightclub owner was intent on killing homicide detective Jim Leavelle Oswald threw his body into the path of the bullet.

What a man, What a legend.

I blame 'mother dearest' for most of his problems. Having no father figure and having a few loose screws didn't help either. A scholarly article said Oswald hated men in general, especially ones with authority over him and any man more successful than him. One might wonder that mama Oswald seemed the real assassin who did everything but pull the trigger, who inadvertently set Oswald on the life path that led Oswald to that window to indeed pull the trigger.

Should have known it would go from Why Dallas?.... to the psychosomatic.
Why aren't these anal..ists out helping people instead of being here stroking each others cyber-willys?

Aha! Yet another pathetic attempt by yet another trolling Oswald apologist to minimize his backstory as a clear victim of 'mommy dearest'.

You know...you totally overuse the word 'pathetic' try..  pitiful, pitiable or poignant once in a while.

I think there must be an echo in here.  You asked pretty much the identical question about your fantasy conspirators here:

You read to many conspiracy books.  Simple question for you. If indeed Oswald was a ?patsy?, when did the conspirators begin the set up?

The Mayor of Dallas Earl Cabell was in the motorcade. JFK fired his brother Charles Cabell from the CIA along with Bissell and Dulles. In my book I have a photograph of Earl Cabell helping to pull Oswald out of the Texas theatre.
 JFK was an enemy of the oil industry. He was going to get rid of. The Oli Depletion Allowence. This would cost the CIA Jewish Oil Kings billions. The Hunt family,  The Rockefellers. The Rockefellers also covered up the assassination with the Rockefeller Commission.
 LBJ who was on bed with the Hunt Family would become the next President. It was his home state

What connection do the alleged Conspirators have to Washington DC?

Why couldn't they have been from Dallas or other parts of the South?

Where does it say in these documents he "worked" for them?

A standard secrecy agreement? And a 201 file which has personal information about a person of interest? Which are generated for a variety of reasons: Oswald had one. Nothing in either about him "working" for them.

We're not talking about his brother. Where is the evidence he "worked" for the CIA?

The documents linked to say nothing about "working" for the CIA. There's a standard secrecy agreement he signed and a 201 file. Neither show he "worked" for the agency.

What evidence is there that he was an "asset"? You've gone from "working" for the CIA to "asset." Which is it?

The two documents are a secrecy agreement and a standard 201 personality file (Oswald had one of these too). Neither indicate - and Newman doesn't show it - that he "worked" for the CIA or was an "asset."

This is, frankly, typical John Newman hyperbole and exaggeration. He's simply not, for me, a trustworthy historian.

What exactly is the allegation here: Is it that Cabell, an "asset" for the CIA was therefore willing to join up with the CIA and commit treason, murder the President and frame an innocent person for the act? You think that because a person is an "asset" (assuming he was) that therefore WHATEVER the CIA told him to do he would do?

Title: Re: Why Dallas?

Cabell signed a Secrecy Agreement with the CIA. Which means he knowingly shared secret information with the CIA.

If you're a CIA asset, you in some capacity, work for the CIA.

Wikipedia:
In intelligence, assets are persons within organizations or countries being spied upon who provide information for an outside spy.[1][2][3][4] They are sometimes referred to as agents, and in law enforcement parlance, as confidential informants, or "CIs" for short.

There are different categories of assets, including people who:

Willingly work for a foreign government for ideological reasons such as being against their government, but live in a country that doesn't allow political opposition. They may elect to work with a foreign power to change their own country because there are few other ways available.

Work for monetary gain. Intelligence services often pay good wages to people in important positions that are willing to betray secrets.
Have been blackmailed and are forced into their role.

Do not even know they are being used. Assets can be loyal to their country, but may still provide a foreign agent with information through failures in information safety, such as using insecure computers or not following proper OPSEC procedures during day-to-day chatting.

Newman was a high ranking Intelligence officer. With all due respect, Newman is more qualified to understand the Intelligence Trade than you.

If you need a confession from the CIA that the brother of a high-ranking CIA official was a CIA informant or asset, then fine. You can wait forever if you want. I'm not here to convince you.

I noted the new info on Cabell because it seems unusual and it's connected to the city of Dallas. I could be wrong about it being unusual. Maybe it's perfectly normal for local politicians to conduct secret business with the CIA.

What I haven't done is suggest that it's meaningful as evidence of a Conspiracy.
