JFK Assassination Forum

For the record, there was never a "time Oswald was supposed to be transferred".

Curry simply told the world's press that as long as they were present the next morning by 10 AM, they wouldn't miss anything.  That is not to say the transfer was scheduled for a particular time, but instead it was "scheduled" for ANY time after 10 AM.

Anyone planning to kill Oswald would take that to mean he needed to be in the garage by 10 AM if he wanted to kill Oswald. Otherwise, he could miss his chance, Oswald would have been transferred to the county jail, stood trial, been convicted, sentenced to death, been spared by SCOTUS in 1972 and he might still be doing time in the Texas state penitentiary.

   Some of You are doing a "Baghdad Bob" with respect to this New Evidence of a "getaway" car. If you believe I am wrong, just show me where that car is on the Wiegman Film. It flat-out is Not there. And the kicker is that the DPD were all over this car. They did suspect that this car parked in a clearly posted, "NO PARKING At Any Time" zone was involved in the JFK Assassination.

If you really think you've found some game changing evidence of a conspiracy, why are you wasting your time posting it here for a few dozen people to read. Why don't you take what you've discovered to the networks, the cable news channels, and the major newspapers. Surely at least one of them will be interested in such a revelation. You could go down in history as the guy who solved the JFKA.

Before applying for the TSBD job, Oswald applied and was rejected for several jobs which were nowhere near the motorcade. In fact the only reason Oswald ended up applying for the TSBD job was because Buell Wesley Frazier worked there and during a meeting of local ladies including Linnie Mae, Frazier's sister, the topic of Oswald's unemployment was mentioned so Ruth Paine rang the TSBD to see if Oswald could get a job. Ruth Paine is often accused by the clueless CT community of being part of the conspiracy but as just seen, the amount of random events that needed to coincide ensures that Ruth was just being helpful.

Those who think Ruth Paine was complicit by getting LHO hired at the TSBD need to explain how she knew a motorcade that hadn't even been planned much less made public was going to be routed right past the TSBD.

To Matt Cloud, a very special kind of grasshopper

THOMAS GRAVES MAY 13, 2026

Dear Locust I mean Grasshopper,

It’s fascinating that on your Twitter page (on which you’ve boasted about having participated in J6) you’ve posted a page from the coached, “softball” polygraph exam (one of the worst ones that polygraph expert Richard O. Arther had ever seen, according what he told the HSCA in 1978) that was drawn up by a probable KGB mole in the Office of Security, Bruce Leonard Solie, and administered to false-defector-in-place-in-Geneva-in-June-1962 / false (or perhaps rogue) physical defector to the U.S. in February 1964, Yuri Nosenko, in August of 1968.

What’s particularly fascinating is that you’ve highlighted the following question and Nosenko’s reply to it:

While in the U.S. Embassy section did you obtain a typewriter for Borodin for the preparation of a letter to Edward Ellis Smith? Yes.

“Borodin,” of course, was Norman Borodin, son of Lenin’s old buddy, OG Revolutionary Mikhail Borodin (real name Mikhail Markovich Gruzenburg) who, “due to rising antisemitism” according to Wikipedia, was arrested in early 1949 and died in May 1951 at a prison camp. Firebrand Mike was posthumously rehabilitated by the Kremlin in 1964 (or was it 1963?).

Edward Ellis Smith?

He was the first CIA officer to ever be recruited (in late 1956) by the KGB, and the “mole” whom both John M. Newman (author of Oswald and the CIA and Uncovering Popov’s Mole) and Nosenko’s primary case officer, Tennent H. Bagley, believe was instrumental in the betrayal of CIA’s spy, GRU Lt. Col. Pyotr Popov, in Washington D.C. movie houses in January 1957.

Dear Locust I mean Grasshopper, you’ve cited many times in the past a 6 July 1964 CIA report sent by “D/E” to “Deputy Chief” on 10/29/75; a document that suggests that high-level CIA officer John M. McMahon “freaked out” and frantically interviewed already-incarcerated Nosenko about Norman Borodin and his family when he heard that Norman’s father, Mikahil, had just been rehabilitated.

For reasons discernable only to you, you take it to mean that not only was hated Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan (your employer in the 1990s) a KGB “mole,” but John N. McMahon — one of Nosenko’s 1964 interviewers / interrogators and Deputy Director of CIA from June 1982 to March 1986, was, too.

Please explain, Locust.

I mean Grasshopper.

Your mentor,

-- Tom

You make good points.

OTOH, the Kennedy trip to Dallas was known by the public two months in advance. The actual route was published locally on Nov. 19.

How much planning does it take to say, "We will hole up in the TSBD6 and fire on JFK after he passes. The diversion will fire from the GK area about the same time."

Remember, LHO had military background, got through Marine boot camp. This is pretty basic stuff. If G2'ers were his confederates, they likely had military backgrounds too.

It was circumstance, or (foul) luck, that LHO worked in the TSBD. Likely, LHO carried his rifle in on 11.22. The other rifle maybe was carried in the same day, or the night before. Security was lax at the TSBD.

The JFKA was not a sophisticated operation. It largely involved a huge stroke of luck (LHO in the TSBD), and then pointing guns and shooting.

BTW, there is the "Sawyer memo": DPD Inspector Sawyer reported one witness told him that he (the witness) saw a man running from the TSBD carrying a Winchester, in the immediate aftermath of the JFKA.

Gus Russo reported LHO was friendly with G2. There's your connection. LHO was seen by some in G2 company in MC and NO.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.
