Thanks for the shout out for Dr. Titovets Oswald book Jeff! I'm always glad to hear anyone mention how valuable Titovets' account of Oswald actually is. I'm the Paula Botan mentioned in the acknowledgments section of the book. No one has any idea how accidental the publication of that book really was. Someday I'll have to write a book about it myself!
Hi Paula! I’m glad you commented! I had never heard of you before reading your above comment, which totally impressed and fascinated me! Kudos and thank you for shepherding his important book to market! You should be better known for that accomplishment alone. I just followed you on Substack and look forward to your future posts and comments here! I went looking for more about you and found your absolutely fascinating post and comments on the Ed Forum “Mary Mintz and Lee Oswald in Minsk” about Mary Mintz, a Hunter College grad who defected to Russia in the ‘30s and lived in Minsk; and who tutored Titovitz in Russian, but refused to meet fellow American “defector” LHO! (I confess I have not read Titovitz book, but have watched videos about him and his book and really like Dr. Titovitz). The fact that she refused to meet LHO is an amazing statement, and suggests to me she knew he was a false defector (which I believe he was) and she didn’t want to get tangled up with him, and possibly be investigated by the KGB etc…I long ago read the St. Dept list of defectors to Russia which includes defectors way back to the ‘20s and ‘30s and up thru Webster, Ricciardelli & Oswald etc… but don’t recall her name. Will have go back and look at the list again (not that i doubt you). Needless to say I’m about to dig into a genealogical workup of Mary Mintz to see if I can find photos of her, and a family tree etc…Do you have any photos of her, btw? There really needs to be an article or video made about Mary Mintz and Lee Oswald in Minsk! (“Mary Mintz in Minsk” is so mellifluous and memorable, it makes a great title!)
Also I came across comment of yours about the LNer books in another thread on Ed Forum, that is suitable for framing!: “Funny how they pull out the psychobabble when they can no longer argue the evidence. That's really all they have left. The insistence and desperation with which they do it is pretty astonishing though. And revealing as well.” Indeed! Thank you for that gem! :) For those who have not seen it, here’s the link for your Ed Forum Mary Mintz post: https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/30124-mary-mintz-and-lee-oswald-in-minsk/
Hey Linda! Gosh, thanks for the comments! It's always nice to hear from people who have read Dr. Titovets book or are at least familiar with his account of Oswald. I'm certainly gratified that Titovets profile has increased substantially in the research community since the book was first published in 2010. I agree that the Mary Mintz thing is definitely intriguing. I'm convinced she may have acquired some special knowledge of who Oswald really was. How else to account for her strange behavior? I did try to do some genealogical research into her. I know she had a sister and a best friend that she wrote to while living in Minsk. That gave me the idea that Angleton was likely reading her mail too and probably long before Oswald arrived in Minsk. I did get in touch with Jim Lesar many moons ago to see if perhaps any material on her at the CIA might fall under the JFK Records Act. He told me that it might, however any legal battle to extract them would be terribly expensive and likely end with the CIA victorious. At any rate Ernst assured me that Mary was likely too cautious to write about Oswald when she knew she was being monitored by the KGB. I don't have any photos of her and Ernst told me there was no obit when she died in the early 1990s. He was able to have her grandson photograph her gravestone in a cemetery in Minsk where she's buried. If you give me your email I can send that along if you'd like. Thanks again for the comments Linda!
You're so welcome! :) It's not everyday that one finds such refreshingly new and interesting material connected to Oswald! That's great Ernst had her grandson get a photo of her grave marker! Just did a search and she's not on findagrave. There's only one "Mintz" in all of Belarus, and 3 in all of Russia. Was her name Mintz the original spelling? Or was it anglicized from something else? Also, is that her married name or maiden name? I'd love to know where she's buried so I can make her a memorial. I'm also going to see If i can find a Hunter College photo of her. Via a google search, of "Mary Mintz" Russia and Mary Mintz" defector, your post is the only hint she exists on the entire internet - which is astonishing! However, just doing a search for "Mary Mintz" i got an Amazon book hit for her - has to be here! It has 2 five star ratings.: "The Widow's Son; A Byelorussian Folk Tale Hardcover – January 1, 1985
I'm not sure if Mintz was her maiden or married name. Don't know about whether the spelling was changed either. Believe me when I tell you that I was shocked too to find out that she existed. Weren't we always told, after all, that Oswald was the ONLY American in Minsk? She was a translator so the listing for the book is definitely her.
What do you guys think about Mary's Mosaic. I'm torn. DC is such a ghetto ass town I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a rape gone bad. Yes goofball Angleton digging into the buildings but it was after the murder had been announced. If he really wanted something, and i were him, and known it was going to happen, i would have gone in right after she left for the the path and brought someone with me that knew how to pick a lock. i don't know, maybe the zia was short handed then too. lots of variables........and that.
I think Mary’s Mosaic is an important book to read closely. The ‘team’ that set up the patsy for the murder of Mary Meyer was well funded, well trained and perfectly willing to pin a murder on an innocent man.
It’s not a stretch at all to see the parallels of this frame job to the framing of Oswald.
I think the book is essential reading for ‘lay people’ like myself who used to think there was justice for all.
Are any of the current crimes committed in D.C. the work of the well funded, well trained, and perfectly willing to pin a murder on an innocent man people? A patsy can be part of a conspiracy but also be the one who takes the fall. I am not contradicting your thinking because I have been there and now have decided that eventually we will have a crime committed by a criminal. This is not to say you are wrong--I just don't know.
It just sounds like a "story". And did ben bradlee the coward ever actually talk about it. anybody that is worried about losing their job for the right cause is a coward.
But yes, the photo above and all of LHO's reactions to cameras during the worst part of his life. He loved it. He wanted to be recognized as someone important......finally. But when questioned about JFK he then knew he had been framed and you could see the acid hitting his stomach.
You and your slurs are totally disgusting. I am reporting you and hope Jeff & Co. will BLOCK you! Sick of you ruining an excellent forum, and am sure that is your INTENTION!
I agree. Mr. Graves seems to be a real piece of work.
I'm not sure what his motive is or if he even has one.
He also seems to be delusional.
I found last night that he decided to follow me on my SubStack. I'm not at all certain about Mr. Tommy but he seems most interested in stirring folks up.
With out encouraging him too much I would venture that in his mind he is aiding CIA in their coverup. I'm saying this because he appears to believe LHO was the loan assassin. Hell for that matter he might be on the CIA payroll.
I'm actually honored by the fact that you think I'm a CIA agent here to aid the evil, evil, evil CIA "in its cover up" (what cover up?), because it suggests to me that I'm not only more knowledgeable than you are about the JFKA, but that I'm especially more knowledge than you are about the ongoing KGB* vs CIA war, and that you, unfortunately, have no rational replies to the points I've raised so far.
Heck, I, too, used to be a tinfoil-hat JFK conspiracy theorist. In fact, Linda and I used to collaborate back in the day on such things as trying to identify evil, evil, evil Roy Truly and Ochus V. Cambell in the Couch-Darnell and Wiegman films.
PS No, I'm not on CIA's payroll. They couldn't afford me.
PPS The reason I "followed" you on Substack was because I saw you hadn't published any articles, yet, and I wanted to give you some moral support.
PPPS Did you ever finish reading the article on the probable KGB "mole" in the CIA who, according to John M. Newman (author of the 1995/2008 book "Oswald and the CIA") very likely sent (or duped Angleton into sending) Oswald to Moscow in 1959 -- Bruce Leonard Solie?
Ironically, Hoover's FBI was duped for fifteen years (1962-1977) by Kremlin-loyal KGB Major Aleksei Kulak (FEDORA) at the Bureau's NYC field office.
The FBI finally got wise around 1978 and realized that Kulak was fake, but in 1983 a counterintelligence-hating xxxxxxx by the name of James Geer reversed the Bureau's official position on him. Which is how it stands today, unfortunately.
While you're at it, please tell him that his "What Jane Roman Knew" colleague, John M. Newman, now (correctly) believes that Yuri Nosenko was a false defector, and that a KGB "mole" by the name of Bruce Solie in the CIA's mole-hunting Office of Security sent (or duped Angleton into sending) Oswald to Moscow in 1959 as an ostensible "dangle" in a planned-to-fail hunt for "Popov's Mole" (Solie) in the wrong part of the CIA -- the Soviet Russia Division.
PS Why would I try to ruin this wonderful CT echo chamber when it's a perfect opportunity for me to educate y'all?
I find your comments as offensive and derogatory. I am of the opinion that your “Oswald Only” conclusion is a dog that won’t hunt. Z313 entered at the right temple, traveled through the right hemisphere of the brain and exits in the right rear of the skull, depositing skull tissue on the trunk of the limousine that Jackie handed to Dr. Pepper Jenkins in Trauma#1. As a former hunter, I recognize the difference between entry and exit wounds. The blood splatter on the Zapruder 313 frame is Hollywood embellishment. Finally, autopsy photos that Kodak developed in 1998 show JFK’s facial features that suffered no disfigurement. A bullet striking the head would produce wounds similar to the wound behind the right ear, nearly the size of a softball.
The three pathologist autopsy doctors, one of whom was a gunshot wound specialist, found only one beveled-on-the-inside entrance wound in JFK's skull -- 2.5 centimeters to the right of and a little above his external occipital protuberance. The only exit wound they found was above JFK's right eye (and above his hairline), as evidenced by a beveled-on-the-outside corner of the largish so-called Delta Fragment (which was found inside the limousine) and the matching beveled-on-the-outside semi-circular defect in JFK's skull that can be discerned best when one orients the infamous black-and-white "Fox-8" photo correctly.
The so-called Harper and Weitzman Fragments can be seen flying in a forward direction in Z-313, indicating that JFK's head had been stuck from behind.
Yet incapable (or simply unwilling?) of understanding that the Single Bullet Theory was correct, and that JFK's relatively slow "back and to the left" movement after Z-313 was due to his catastrophic neuromuscular reaction to having the right side of his brain destroyed, and that a supersonic 161-grain lead-core bullet, unlike a lead brick, wouldn't slam a human target backward, but would pass through his or her head like a hot knife through butter.
Here’s the source for my comment in the above JFK Facts Live Podcast [recorded March 28, 2024], concerning Warren Commission General Council J. Lee Rankin’s statement that Texas Attorney General Waggoner Carr had called him that morning [January 22, 1964] & informed him that, according to Dallas County District Attorney Henry Wade — Lee Harvey Oswald was allegedly a paid FBI Undercover Agent [see first page].
As I mentioned in the podcast, also recorded in the minutes to the specially-called Warren Commission Executive Session of January 22, 1964, is the statement by former Director of Central Intelligence, Allen Dulles, who stated “I think this record ought to be destroyed.” [referring to the Executive Session’s meeting minutes; see page 13].

Never argue with a fool, they will take down to their level and beat you with experience.
Did you ever finish reading that article on the guy John M. Newman says was a KGB "mole" in the CIA -- Bruce Leonard Solie?
Newman says Solie sent (or duped Angleton into sending) Oswald to Moscow in 1959 as an ostensible "dangle" in a planned-to-fail hunt for "Popov's Mole" (Solie) in the wrong part of the CIA.
Do you disagree with John M. Newman, Bob?
Maybe you don't like to read and prefer doing your "research" on YouTube instead?
Try this, then:

According to an FBI report by Houston FBI SAIC Lane Bertram, Wade's info came from Houston Post reporter, Alonzo H. "Lonnie" Hudkins, III, who said he got it from Dallas Asst Sheriff, Allan Sweatt. In looking that up to refresh my memory, i came across yet another source, i wasn't aware of previously regarding this story, Phily Inq. reporter, Joseph Goulden, who testified to the HSCA: "Goulden stated he obtained the story from two sources, Dallas Dep. Sheriff, Allan Sweatt (deceased), and an individual he declined to identify. He stated that Alonzo Hudkins was not his source." : https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=196768#relPageId=4&search=%22Alonzo_Hudkins%22%20AND%20%22Sweatt%22
I am awaiting Knott Labratory’s digital forensic analysis of Dealey Plaza gunshots before I’m buying your hypothesis. Far too many concocted theories on this tragic event, starting with Arlan Spector.
I have to wonder. See below the note after the photo above.
"Taken together, these stories (as told in Chad Nagle's ongoing series "Trail of Destruction" illuminate the extraordinary and disturbing lengths the U.S. government is prepared to advance the official narrative of the "lone gunman " in President Kennedy's murder. Yes "indeed" they do. A Hurculean effort by CIA.
I sometime ago posited this story is much more than it appears to be on the surface. "Think bigger", I suggested. Crickets! NO response. Morley discarded my comments about Israel and diversion of SNM Special Nuclear Materials from Zalmon
Shapiro's Nuclear Materials and Equipment, NUMEC to Israel. Something JFK was bound to learn of especially if he were re-elected. I do get it though and all politics are local, especially in the District of Columbia although times are currently changing. However I was not deterred.
In the above Morley text I find some solace for my thoughts. Quoting Morley "illuminate the extraordinary and disturbing lengths the U.S. government is prepared to go to to advance the official narrative of the "lone gunman" in President Kennedy's murder."
Why would the agency go to such lengths to cover this story up? If true the agency suspected Cubans, and/or OSS oldtimers simply because of their hatred and for their visceral enjoyment of seeing his brain splattered all over Daley Plaza when the
agency would be the one entity to directly benefit the most from his death. One must remember Angleton was the contact at CIA for Israel and Israels MOSSAD from the very early beginning of his tenure are CIA. He was the Israeli desk at CIA.
JFK and RFK were on a mission to stifle the Israeli bomb program, had JFK lived Angleton would have been a primary suspect involved with the diversion, whether he knew of it or not. (he was connected at the hip to MOSSAD.) The direct result of the intentions of JFK and RFK, in my opinion to pigeon hole AIPAC predecessor and force AIPAC to come clean on it's income.
Regardless, JFK was headed for reelection and CIA found itself in serious jeopardy of having Angleton found out as well as JFK discovering the NUMEC diversion that appeared to Roger J. Mattson to have been an inside job.
JFK surviving long enough to be reelected was becoming a pressing issue, TIME was growing short, he had to go and the sooner the better, that is time was becoming a critical factor in CIA decision making.
My knowledge of the USAEC United States Atomic Energy Commission, especially by virtue of Roger J. Mattson's book Stealing the Atomic Bomb and my previous knowledge about USAEC problems seems a reason as plausible as any CIA came up with. This angle seems to me to present the viable motive for CIA who with their mole problems had stricken some at CIA with the fear of CIA being dissolved. Why fear old OSS hacks or disgruntled Cubans when the hated JFK had become a serious problem for Israel's nuke program. Angleton and Solie both would have been deeply concerned for his own neck. Protect the agency by protecting Solie Angleton, and Israel is protected by the insulation provided by a couple of lowlifes.
The diversion of SNM, fissile materials needed to build an atomic bomb, supplied more than ample reason, motive , opportunity and means for CIA to be very nervous about the survival of JFK. It does seem apparent however CIA had plenty of problems that needed to be dealt with.
Time has proven to be an enemy of CIA's plan to cover up the truth about what happened in Dallas 11/22/63.
Through the hard work of a great many individuals especially Jeff Morley among a list of others who were engaged earlier in the endeavor and too many others to list here. Appearances seem to indicate, in my opinion, CIA has had serious issues with their original story. A story which has only managed to survive to this point in time due to the over reach of authority allowed the agency by the DOJ and other NSA interests involved.
Of course, there does exist another problem for CIA. Some who comment here have raised the specter of Bruce Solie being a Russian mole inside the CIA Office of Security, others suspected Angleton of being a mole also, so why is Solie not known as widely and Angleton?
When we consider in Morley's words, "illuminate the extraordinary and disturbing lengths the U.S. Government to go to to advance the official narrative." I have to assume as I have stated before I seems the Kennedy death was a very long limb to climb out on to simply protect CIA from JKF's wrath. I mean they thought he was a coward right! Something else seems to have been going on here.
If JFK lives and disassembles CIA Kennedy will learn of , Solie a Russian mole and Angleton an Israeli mole. Both working in CIA Security. Not a good look for the Self touted greatest intelligence agency on earth.
CIA found itself in a position to gain great "utility" by an executive action. So far it has worked but I believe it is only a matter time. Be advised as time moves on and facts continue to come out we all might need to vigilant for interlopers who work to support the evil evil evil CIA are apparently out there misguided or not. As I have said about the Queen of Chaos and Slick Willy, hell they can't suicide us all!
Never underestimate your adversary. When someone or entity tells you who they are believe them. CIA hardly ever leaves anything to chance but in their haste to dispose of a problem they made for themselves, lack of effective internal security, they screwed up and Oswald got caught by Dallas PD before CIA could hit the "Patsy". Could it be Officer Tippit paid the price for doing his job?
I'll be contacting my U.S Congressman about the legislation mentioned. Hopefully the republicans will totally self destruct before this upcoming election and not pose a large problem.
Robert, to clarify, are you saying that the CIA killed JFK to keep him from finding out the embarrassing facts that the CIA had been penetrated by moles for both Israel (Angleton) and the Soviet Union (Solie) and that Angleton had helped Israel acquire the bomb? Would Angleton and perhaps Solie then have been the principals behind the assassination inside the CIA? Do you think Israel or Mossad played a role in the assassination? What were Angleton's and Solie's motivations for being CIA moles?
This is a great question. In the case of JJA it is his loyalty to Israel. This would be assumption based on his being a staunch Zionist his treatment by Israel was very good. We are talking "spies", Israel / MOSSAD could have had him compromised.
Russia could have been a different story, These are assumptions based my very limited evidence. Further speculation in the direction of Solie having the goods on JJA being a mole for Israel, which I firmly believe he was, his moling for Russia, would negate his reputation as being a staunch anti communist. However all of this is UNSWAG, Uneducated Non- Scientific Guess. Who knows.
Solie, is a much different story. Again the nasty word comes up, speculation on Solie by myself would be based on a minuscule amount of what I have observed of late at this site and else where. What very little else I have leaned since learning of Solie, that said Solie seems to b a very interesting fellow. As I have stated here before, the amount of what I have learned about the assassination has been the result of reading the work of others. I do work at vetting info and cross referencing the many books I have read on the Manhattan Project including official congressional records regarding the wrangling involved with the government coming to grips with the new reality of the demands going nuclear presented to the country. Some of which, only a smaller portion of the total, was very interesting and the large remainder, although very dry stuff, necessary to slog through to appreciate the new nuclear science problems dealt with. Book after book, many of which I have hard cover issues of . FYI I do have titles and publication info listed in theses books naturally, , but this comment is going to be lengthy enough.
Second to last question. This is a great question. We sure don't hear much that points in that direction, which is expected given the genuflexing nature of the US toward Israeli relationship. I'm not surprised. Neither CIA or the Warren Commission would have headed in that direction. Why would they have looked, it would have been their first independent investigative move.
I will say this. I would be strongly inclined to believe on the day of the murder MOSSAD had people in Dallas. Seems most every other interested entity did. As I stated earlier given JJA Israeli loyalist leanings, I see him being involved and Solie may well have directed Angleton to confound the story by leaving the records of his activities.
Given the claim by others that Angleton was directed to send LHO to Russia, could it be Solie had the goods on some egregious history between JJA and Kim Philby for instance. Who knows?
Your third from last question. Again a great question, the result of a the nature of the progression of events. The problem for me is most others who contribute here seem to not have anything to say about Solie. Why? Unless someone has a great reason not to, this man needs to studied. Remember that think bigger thing I talk about?
You want to talk speculation brother! Let us revisit the three basics of investigation, motive , opportunity and means.
Why did Kennedy have to die?
Let us suppose both Solie, who was suspect and JJA were discovered. What course of action would the high officials in CIA be inclined to take?
See where this is going? No? Motive, opportunity and means!
First remember what is said here by Jeff with regard to the extreme extraordinary efforts to cover up CIA's history of involvement in this case.
What are we left with? Suppose Solie and JJA were involved in their own dance of scorpions, (thanks you very much J.M) and the top brass at CIA discover this fiasco.
In an effort to save his own butt could be Solie was instructed by the that Top Brass on what would be expected by him to save his ass, as opposed, say to getting shot! Remember JJA is said to never suspected Philby.
I see an immediate problem, Solie was allowed to travel outside the U.S. by himself. He could have easily disappeared into thin air, creating another crisis for CIA.
I figure the top brass at CIA, in an act of self preservation decided to let this assassination thing run it's course. It is not as if CIA would not stoop to the low level of making a deal this both Solie and JJA.
WE have ample motive, opportunity and means here.
Your fourth question. It seems obvious to me that JJA was allowed and or instructed to allow the diversion of the NUMEC fissile material to his friends in Israel. In what could be the biggest mistake that is directly responsible for ultimately ending life on the planet!
This NUMEC thing was well underway before JFK was elected. Some records are out there which substantiate my claim here. JFK gets elected and almost immediately goes into Non-proliferation mode, at this point either CIA and JJA are doomed or JFK is. This regardless of the circumstances surrounding Mr. Solie. He sure as hell did not out JJA to his superiors, or did he and we simply will never know?
My direct answer for #4 is not exactly directed to your question. In an effort to leave no doubt I say CIA killed Kennedy or allowed him to be murdered to save the institution from being disassembled by JFK. Congress would likely have been tasked to investigation each and every word of CIA had Angleton been outed publicly and if Solie was found to be a Russian mole he would and JJA would have ended up in prison. Don't you think?
Later RFK returns to the seen and the angst for CIA starts anew. He had to die also. CIA told us who and what they are, we need to believe them
So thank you for those questions and to clarify "Yes" I am saying that CIA had a very serious problem or pair of problems and JFK had to die. The top brass were not stupid they knew damned well what the score was with JFK and that killed him. Not exactly a direct answer to your presented question.
As Beau over at the Fifth Column says foreign policy is a poker game where everyone is cheating. No friendships exist only related interests. I have to say the CIA's take over of foreign policy is a beg reason the ship of state is dead in the troubled waters, floundering about currently. IMHO!
Thanks to a very useful SS crew and on Jeff Morley!
It has been asked of me, "Can you chew gum and ride a bicycle at the same time?"
Sometimes I can, . . . but not always. I said this before, I'm a dyslexic, agnositic, insomniac, who lies awake at night wondering if dog (ma) really exists.
It is a joke son! ( Leg Horn - Fog Horn from cartoon fame, I'm old Dude. However I do have mental ticks that haunt me in a dyslexic manner. I'm to this day not the best reader, terrible speller and writing causes me fits, I'm all the time I'm engaged in it. I simple fail to give in to those shortcomings.
I your comment here of April 15th 2024 I considered your very first question as being two questions. I failed to clarify this in my initial response. This is a very grievous error on my part. I apologize.
I realized I know very little of Solie, however after learning some about him I feel one must consider, because of his position, he must have possessed much information about Angleton. In your question you seems to combine the question of Solie and Angleton both being moles.
I consider it but, I am 100% convinced Angleton was a mole for Israel and possibly for Russia. Solie presents plenty of issues to be considered. I simply don't know at this point.
I am what I am and I work to deal with my shortcomings.
Thanks for the shout out for Dr. Titovets Oswald book Jeff! I'm always glad to hear anyone mention how valuable Titovets' account of Oswald actually is.

I'll msg you my email address. I'm also on FB under my full name.
This is from family search.org: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MJGY-JX4
I'm not sure if Mintz was her maiden or married name. Don't know about whether the spelling was changed either. Believe me when I tell you that I was shocked too to find out that she existed. Weren't we always told, after all, that Oswald was the ONLY American in Minsk? She was a translator so the listing for the book is definitely her.
Accidental?
It involves David Lifton, Ebay and a Russian German textbook. You'll have to wait for the book for the rest of the story.
Such a tease! Can't wait! :)
What do you guys think about Mary's Mosaic. I'm torn. DC is such a ghetto ass town I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a rape gone bad. Yes goofball Angleton digging into the buildings but it was after the murder had been announced. If he really wanted something, and i were him, and known it was going to happen, i would have gone in right after she left for the the path and brought someone with me that knew how to pick a lock. i don't know, maybe the zia was short handed then too. lots of variables........and that.
I think Mary’s Mosaic is an important book to read closely. The ‘team’ that set up the patsy for the murder of Mary Meyer was well funded, well trained and perfectly willing to pin a murder on an innocent man.
It’s not a stretch at all to see the parallels of this frame job to the framing of Oswald.
I think the book is essential reading for ‘lay people’ like myself who used to think there was justice for all.
Are any of the current crimes committed in D.C. the work of the well funded, well trained, and perfectly willing to pin a murder on an innocent man people? A patsy can be part of a conspiracy but also be the one who takes the fall. I am not contradicting your thinking because I have been there and now have decided that eventually we will have a crime committed by a criminal. This is not to say you are wrong--I just don't know.
It just sounds like a "story". And did ben bradlee the coward ever actually talk about it. anybody that is worried about losing their job for the right cause is a coward.
But yes, the photo above and all of LHO's reactions to cameras during the worst part of his life. He loved it. He wanted to be recognized as someone important......finally. But when questioned about JFK he then knew he had been framed and you could see the acid hitting his stomach.
There is so much junk out there. Thank God for Jeff and crew. Keep going guys.

You and your slurs are totally disgusting. I am reporting you and hope Jeff & Co. will BLOCK you! Sick of you ruining an excellent forum, and am sure that is your INTENTION!
I agree. Mr. Graves seems to be a real piece of work.
I'm not sure what his motive is or if he even has one.
He also seems to be delusional.
I found last night that he decided to follow me on my SubStack. I'm not at all certain about Mr. Tommy but he seems most interested in stirring folks up.
With out encouraging him too much I would venture that in his mind he is aiding CIA in their coverup. I'm saying this because he appears to believe LHO was the loan assassin. Hell for that matter he might be on the CIA payroll.
Absolutely....CIA troll is my take on him. No one could be that dim.
Dear Robert,
I'm actually honored by the fact that you think I'm a CIA agent here to aid the evil, evil, evil CIA "in its cover up" (what cover up?), because it suggests to me that I'm not only more knowledgeable than you are about the JFKA, but that I'm especially more knowledge than you are about the ongoing KGB* vs CIA war, and that you, unfortunately, have no rational replies to the points I've raised so far.

Don't get all paranoiac on me now, Robert.
Heck, I, too, used to be a tinfoil-hat JFK conspiracy theorist. In fact, Linda and I used to collaborate back in the day on such things as trying to identify evil, evil, evil Roy Truly and Ochus V. Cambell in the Couch-Darnell and Wiegman films.

PS No, I'm not on CIA's payroll. They couldn't afford me.
PPS The reason I "followed" you on Substack was because I saw you hadn't published any articles, yet, and I wanted to give you some moral support.
PPPS Did you ever finish reading the article on the probable KGB "mole" in the CIA who, according to John M. Newman (author of the 1995/2008 book "Oswald and the CIA") very likely sent (or duped Angleton into sending) Oswald to Moscow in 1959 -- Bruce Leonard Solie?
Amen Linda! I did also! Enough is enough
LGZ, excellent call! Seems like straight out of John Edgar Hoover’s memo, 11/24/63?! American citizens must believe Oswald was the lone assassin?!
Ironically, Hoover's FBI was duped for fifteen years (1962-1977) by Kremlin-loyal KGB Major Aleksei Kulak (FEDORA) at the Bureau's NYC field office.
The FBI finally got wise around 1978 and realized that Kulak was fake, but in 1983 a counterintelligence-hating xxxxxxx by the name of James Geer reversed the Bureau's official position on him. Which is how it stands today, unfortunately.
PS Oswald was a lone assassin, btw.
Dear Linda,
While you're at it, please tell him that his "What Jane Roman Knew" colleague, John M. Newman, now (correctly) believes that Yuri Nosenko was a false defector, and that a KGB "mole" by the name of Bruce Solie in the CIA's mole-hunting Office of Security sent (or duped Angleton into sending) Oswald to Moscow in 1959 as an ostensible "dangle" in a planned-to-fail hunt for "Popov's Mole" (Solie) in the wrong part of the CIA -- the Soviet Russia Division.
PS Why would I try to ruin this wonderful CT echo chamber when it's a perfect opportunity for me to educate y'all?
Thanks!
-- Tommy
Linda?
I find your comments as offensive and derogatory. I am of the opinion that your “Oswald Only” conclusion is a dog that won’t hunt. Z313 entered at the right temple, traveled through the right hemisphere of the brain and exits in the right rear of the skull, depositing skull tissue on the trunk of the limousine that Jackie handed to Dr. Pepper Jenkins in Trauma#1. As a former hunter, I recognize the difference between entry and exit wounds. The blood splatter on the Zapruder 313 frame is Hollywood embellishment. Finally, autopsy photos that Kodak developed in 1998 show JFK’s facial features that suffered no disfigurement. A bullet striking the head would produce wounds similar to the wound behind the right ear, nearly the size of a softball.
Dear Eldon,
The three pathologist autopsy doctors, one of whom was a gunshot wound specialist, found only one beveled-on-the-inside entrance wound in JFK's skull -- 2.5 centimeters to the right of and a little above his external occipital protuberance. The only exit wound they found was above JFK's right eye (and above his hairline), as evidenced by a beveled-on-the-outside corner of the largish so-called Delta Fragment (which was found inside the limousine) and the matching beveled-on-the-outside semi-circular defect in JFK's skull that can be discerned best when one orients the infamous black-and-white "Fox-8" photo correctly.
The so-called Harper and Weitzman Fragments can be seen flying in a forward direction in Z-313, indicating that JFK's head had been stuck from behind.

Or 3) well-read and knowledgeable with an open mind.
Yet incapable (or simply unwilling?) of understanding that the Single Bullet Theory was correct, and that JFK's relatively slow "back and to the left" movement after Z-313 was due to his catastrophic neuromuscular reaction to having the right side of his brain destroyed, and that a supersonic 161-grain lead-core bullet, unlike a lead brick, wouldn't slam a human target backward, but would pass through his or her head like a hot knife through butter.
Here’s the source for my comment in the above JFK Facts Live Podcast [recorded March 28, 2024], concerning Warren Commission General Council J. Lee Rankin’s statement that Texas Attorney General Waggoner Carr had called him that morning [January 22, 1964] & informed him that, according to Dallas County District Attorney Henry Wade — Lee Harvey Oswald was allegedly a paid FBI Undercover Agent [see first page].
As I mentioned in the podcast, also recorded in the minutes to the specially-called Warren Commission Executive Session of January 22, 1964, is the statement by former Director of Central Intelligence, Allen Dulles, who stated “I think this record ought to be destroyed.” [referring to the Executive Session’s meeting minutes; see page 13].

I have to wonder. See below the note after the photo above.
"Taken together, these stories (as told in Chad Nagle's ongoing series "Trail of Destruction" illuminate the extraordinary and disturbing lengths the U.S. government is prepared to advance the official narrative of the "lone gunman " in President Kennedy's murder. Yes "indeed" they do. A Hurculean effort by CIA.
I sometime ago posited this story is much more than it appears to be on the surface. "Think bigger", I suggested. Crickets! NO response. Morley discarded my comments about Israel and diversion of SNM Special Nuclear Materials from Zalmon
Shapiro's Nuclear Materials and Equipment, NUMEC to Israel. Something JFK was bound to learn of especially if he were re-elected. I do get it though and all politics are local, especially in the District of Columbia although times are currently changing. However I was not deterred.
In the above Morley text I find some solace for my thoughts. Quoting Morley "illuminate the extraordinary and disturbing lengths the U.S. government is prepared to go to to advance the official narrative of the "lone gunman" in President Kennedy's murder."
Why would the agency go to such lengths to cover this story up? If true the agency suspected Cubans, and/or OSS oldtimers simply because of their hatred and for their visceral enjoyment of seeing his brain splattered all over Daley Plaza when the
agency would be the one entity to directly benefit the most from his death. One must remember Angleton was the contact at CIA for Israel and Israels MOSSAD from the very early beginning of his tenure are CIA. He was the Israeli desk at CIA.
JFK and RFK were on a mission to stifle the Israeli bomb program, had JFK lived Angleton would have been a primary suspect involved with the diversion, whether he knew of it or not. (he was connected at the hip to MOSSAD.) The direct result of the intentions of JFK and RFK, in my opinion to pigeon hole AIPAC predecessor and force AIPAC to come clean on it's income.
Regardless, JFK was headed for reelection and CIA found itself in serious jeopardy of having Angleton found out as well as JFK discovering the NUMEC diversion that appeared to Roger J. Mattson to have been an inside job.
JFK surviving long enough to be reelected was becoming a pressing issue, TIME was growing short, he had to go and the sooner the better, that is time was becoming a critical factor in CIA decision making.
My knowledge of the USAEC United States Atomic Energy Commission, especially by virtue of Roger J. Mattson's book Stealing the Atomic Bomb and my previous knowledge about USAEC problems seems a reason as plausible as any CIA came up with. This angle seems to me to present the viable motive for CIA who with their mole problems had stricken some at CIA with the fear of CIA being dissolved. Why fear old OSS hacks or disgruntled Cubans when the hated JFK had become a serious problem for Israel's nuke program. Angleton and Solie both would have been deeply concerned for his own neck. Protect the agency by protecting Solie Angleton, and Israel is protected by the insulation provided by a couple of lowlifes.
The diversion of SNM, fissile materials needed to build an atomic bomb, supplied more than ample reason, motive , opportunity and means for CIA to be very nervous about the survival of JFK. It does seem apparent however CIA had plenty of problems that needed to be dealt with.
Time has proven to be an enemy of CIA's plan to cover up the truth about what happened in Dallas 11/22/63.
Through the hard work of a great many individuals especially Jeff Morley among a list of others who were engaged earlier in the endeavor and too many others to list here. Appearances seem to indicate, in my opinion, CIA has had serious issues with their original story. A story which has only managed to survive to this point in time due to the over reach of authority allowed the agency by the DOJ and other NSA interests involved.
Of course, there does exist another problem for CIA. Some who comment here have raised the specter of Bruce Solie being a Russian mole inside the CIA Office of Security, others suspected Angleton of being a mole also, so why is Solie not known as widely and Angleton?
When we consider in Morley's words, "illuminate the extraordinary and disturbing lengths the U.S. Government to go to to advance the official narrative." I have to assume as I have stated before I seems the Kennedy death was a very long limb to climb out on to simply protect CIA from JKF's wrath. I mean they thought he was a coward right! Something else seems to have been going on here.
If JFK lives and disassembles CIA Kennedy will learn of , Solie a Russian mole and Angleton an Israeli mole. Both working in CIA Security. Not a good look for the Self touted greatest intelligence agency on earth.
CIA found itself in a position to gain great "utility" by an executive action. So far it has worked but I believe it is only a matter time. Be advised as time moves on and facts continue to come out we all might need to vigilant for interlopers who work to support the evil evil evil CIA are apparently out there misguided or not. As I have said about the Queen of Chaos and Slick Willy, hell they can't suicide us all!
Never underestimate your adversary. When someone or entity tells you who they are believe them. CIA hardly ever leaves anything to chance but in their haste to dispose of a problem they made for themselves, lack of effective internal security, they screwed up and Oswald got caught by Dallas PD before CIA could hit the "Patsy". Could it be Officer Tippit paid the price for doing his job?
I'll be contacting my U.S Congressman about the legislation mentioned. Hopefully the republicans will totally self destruct before this upcoming election and not pose a large problem.
Thanks Jeff, you very useful devil you!
Robert, to clarify, are you saying that the CIA killed JFK to keep him from finding out the embarrassing facts that the CIA had been penetrated by moles for both Israel (Angleton) and the Soviet Union (Solie) and that Angleton had helped Israel acquire the bomb? Would Angleton and perhaps Solie then have been the principals behind the assassination inside the CIA? Do you think Israel or Mossad played a role in the assassination? What were Angleton's and Solie's motivations for being CIA moles?
Let me take your last question first.
This is a great question. In the case of JJA it is his loyalty to Israel. This would be assumption based on his being a staunch Zionist his treatment by Israel was very good. We are talking "spies", Israel / MOSSAD could have had him compromised.
Russia could have been a different story, These are assumptions based my very limited evidence. Further speculation in the direction of Solie having the goods on JJA being a mole for Israel, which I firmly believe he was, his moling for Russia, would negate his reputation as being a staunch anti communist. However all of this is UNSWAG, Uneducated Non- Scientific Guess. Who knows.
Solie, is a much different story. Again the nasty word comes up, speculation on Solie by myself would be based on a minuscule amount of what I have observed of late at this site and else where. What very little else I have leaned since learning of Solie, that said Solie seems to b a very interesting fellow. As I have stated here before, the amount of what I have learned about the assassination has been the result of reading the work of others. I do work at vetting info and cross referencing the many books I have read on the Manhattan Project including official congressional records regarding the wrangling involved with the government coming to grips with the new reality of the demands going nuclear presented to the country. Some of which, only a smaller portion of the total, was very interesting and the large remainder, although very dry stuff, necessary to slog through to appreciate the new nuclear science problems dealt with. Book after book, many of which I have hard cover issues of . FYI I do have titles and publication info listed in theses books naturally, , but this comment is going to be lengthy enough.
Second to last question. This is a great question. We sure don't hear much that points in that direction, which is expected given the genuflexing nature of the US toward Israeli relationship. I'm not surprised. Neither CIA or the Warren Commission would have headed in that direction. Why would they have looked, it would have been their first independent investigative move.
I will say this. I would be strongly inclined to believe on the day of the murder MOSSAD had people in Dallas. Seems most every other interested entity did. As I stated earlier given JJA Israeli loyalist leanings, I see him being involved and Solie may well have directed Angleton to confound the story by leaving the records of his activities.
Given the claim by others that Angleton was directed to send LHO to Russia, could it be Solie had the goods on some egregious history between JJA and Kim Philby for instance. Who knows?
Your third from last question. Again a great question, the result of a the nature of the progression of events. The problem for me is most others who contribute here seem to not have anything to say about Solie. Why? Unless someone has a great reason not to, this man needs to studied. Remember that think bigger thing I talk about?
You want to talk speculation brother! Let us revisit the three basics of investigation, motive , opportunity and means.
Why did Kennedy have to die?
Let us suppose both Solie, who was suspect and JJA were discovered. What course of action would the high officials in CIA be inclined to take?
See where this is going? No? Motive, opportunity and means!
First remember what is said here by Jeff with regard to the extreme extraordinary efforts to cover up CIA's history of involvement in this case.
What are we left with? Suppose Solie and JJA were involved in their own dance of scorpions, (thanks you very much J.M) and the top brass at CIA discover this fiasco.
In an effort to save his own butt could be Solie was instructed by the that Top Brass on what would be expected by him to save his ass, as opposed, say to getting shot! Remember JJA is said to never suspected Philby.
I see an immediate problem, Solie was allowed to travel outside the U.S. by himself. He could have easily disappeared into thin air, creating another crisis for CIA.
I figure the top brass at CIA, in an act of self preservation decided to let this assassination thing run it's course. It is not as if CIA would not stoop to the low level of making a deal this both Solie and JJA.
WE have ample motive, opportunity and means here.
Your fourth question. It seems obvious to me that JJA was allowed and or instructed to allow the diversion of the NUMEC fissile material to his friends in Israel. In what could be the biggest mistake that is directly responsible for ultimately ending life on the planet!
This NUMEC thing was well underway before JFK was elected. Some records are out there which substantiate my claim here. JFK gets elected and almost immediately goes into Non-proliferation mode, at this point either CIA and JJA are doomed or JFK is. This regardless of the circumstances surrounding Mr. Solie. He sure as hell did not out JJA to his superiors, or did he and we simply will never know?
My direct answer for #4 is not exactly directed to your question. In an effort to leave no doubt I say CIA killed Kennedy or allowed him to be murdered to save the institution from being disassembled by JFK. Congress would likely have been tasked to investigation each and every word of CIA had Angleton been outed publicly and if Solie was found to be a Russian mole he would and JJA would have ended up in prison. Don't you think?
Later RFK returns to the seen and the angst for CIA starts anew. He had to die also. CIA told us who and what they are, we need to believe them
So thank you for those questions and to clarify "Yes" I am saying that CIA had a very serious problem or pair of problems and JFK had to die. The top brass were not stupid they knew damned well what the score was with JFK and that killed him. Not exactly a direct answer to your presented question.
As Beau over at the Fifth Column says foreign policy is a poker game where everyone is cheating. No friendships exist only related interests. I have to say the CIA's take over of foreign policy is a beg reason the ship of state is dead in the troubled waters, floundering about currently. IMHO!
Thanks to a very useful SS crew and on Jeff Morley!
Later RFK returns to the scene ....
It has been asked of me, "Can you chew gum and ride a bicycle at the same time?"
Sometimes I can, . . . but not always. I said this before, I'm a dyslexic, agnositic, insomniac, who lies awake at night wondering if dog (ma) really exists.
It is a joke son! ( Leg Horn - Fog Horn from cartoon fame, I'm old Dude. However I do have mental ticks that haunt me in a dyslexic manner. I'm to this day not the best reader, terrible speller and writing causes me fits, I'm all the time I'm engaged in it. I simple fail to give in to those shortcomings.
I your comment here of April 15th 2024 I considered your very first question as being two questions. I failed to clarify this in my initial response. This is a very grievous error on my part. I apologize.
I realized I know very little of Solie, however after learning some about him I feel one must consider, because of his position, he must have possessed much information about Angleton. In your question you seems to combine the question of Solie and Angleton both being moles.
I consider it but, I am 100% convinced Angleton was a mole for Israel and possibly for Russia. Solie presents plenty of issues to be considered. I simply don't know at this point.
I am what I am and I work to deal with my shortcomings.
So, who is in charge of the destruction and hiding of evidence?
