It seems fitting in the 60th year anniversary of the government Coup D’état and conspiracy that assassinated President John F. Kennedy (JFK,) that I go against my nature and pause the blather and go with that tried, true and tested Army bottom-line-up-front (BLUF.) I’m still long by a lot here, but this is a problematic and important issue: tennis apology up front…
So here goes. It is not going to happen anytime soon, but it would be wonderful and appropriate if the government-in the form of congress-pulled their head out of their arse long enough to tell the facts and truth about the JFK assassination, although they have likely squandered the opportunity to do so through largely ceremonial apple buffing over the years.
It could be led by some of the many researchers that have been on this story like a dog on a bone for decades, never giving up, suffering the proverbial slings and arrows over the years and the Lame Stream Media Big Tech and Government (LSMBTG) lies, amid accusations of being “conspiracy theorists.”
The phrase was largely invented as a result of the assassination of JFK. Much like most people think about those bizarre but entertaining grocery headlines, that single phrase description has taken on burdens it can’t possibly carry in the face of the facts that it has served to suppress, often stifling or completely shutting off necessary but inconvenient dialogues and truth telling.
Many of the original conspiracy people have passed on, unrequited in their quests, while others have children or even grandchildren still on watch: it would be nice for them to receive recognition that their efforts have not been in vain.
I would argue the JFK assassination coverup served as somewhat of the blueprint for each government coverup-in turn over these past six decades-whether Gulf of Tonkin/Vietnam, the Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations, Watergate, Obama presidential campaign, Obama presidency (“scandal free,”) HRC government email server scandal, Russia-Russia-Pee-Pee Hoax, DJT impeachment (s,) Hunter Biden Laptop, Biden family influence peddling, election 2020 cheating, COVID, 6 January 2021 “insurrection” (he cried-,) Afghanistan withdrawal- just to name a few, each that followed somewhat of the same broadcast, wideband playbook to shut down debate and opposition to the bullspit being slung by the government, echoed (ecoutez et repetez) and shouted from the mountaintops by the LSMBTG. Seth Rich belongs on this list as well (and Epstein didn’t suicide himself.)
Think about the shoe on the other foot-imagine if the above “preponderance of evidence” stories, fables and fairy tales was your life and you were asking the govt to believe it was all just stories-conspiracy theories-nothing to see here.
There is nothing quite as contrary as a government willing to lie to their bosses-we the people-in a constitutional republic.
After all these years we suddenly find out that Oswald had a 201 personnel file with the CIA and learned Russian at the CIA run school. Oh, and he received a 1099 from the FBI.
There was a book published by Gary Fannin last year, “The Innocence of Oswald:” 50+ Years of Lies, Deception & Deceipt in the Murders of President John F. Kennedy & Officer J. D. Tippit.
I not only think the above is correct, but I believe we need to go one step better than declaring innocence. More importantly-and to the point of my article-such a forum could recognize those in this story who never gave up searching for the truth, starting by acknowledging at least two American heroes-out of many-who directly gave their lives attempting to save President Kennedy, something that the leadership of our government with participant knowledge in the conspiracy covered up.
Because if you go after the king, you better make damn sure you are successful: and they did…
But they-and let’s be specific here-there were at least half a dozen-to a dozen government, mafia and Cuban exile leaders involved (more on that later) who were all responsible to varying and deadly degrees. But only our government-at the very top of the seat of power and that means Vice President-wanna be President-Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ,) with great assist and facilitation by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who put the vast resources of his agency on the case, could have covered it up.
Both of whom were facing the end of their long careers on the taxpayer teat and were corrupt enough that they were willing to do whatever it took to emerge as leaders of the post assassination America.
They facilitated through both deliberate acts and feigning ignorance in overlooking warnings, planned and conspired to kill JFK and then worked the cover up as the echoes of the gunfire and horror were still unfolding in Dealy Plaza.
One of the heroes committed an act of suicide as sure as I am sitting here, while the other committed a seemingly insane act that forever tarnished his sterling-but largely anonymous-reputation as an American spy that baffles yet today any who hear his name and learn his story, except for those never say die, will not quit, hard core JFK “conspiracy theorists.”
They should also be recognized by congress as the unsung heroes in this story, particularly timely in an era where we have new mysteries to solve and the entirety of the LSMBTG to overcome to discover them, never mind solving.
In the modern era of cancel culture and shaming, the odds are ever so much more likely for such an act to go unsolved than ever before in our lifetime, which is the real tragedy here in an era of unsurpassed information sharing and technology.
The conspiracy here is real-not a theory-and because of increasing government perfidy much like the DC pipe bombs, cheating in the 2020 election that produced over 80M votes for the biggest disaster in American history, cocaine in the WH, the leak of the Supreme Court abortion argument, Ray Epps on the breech team and the FBI malfeasance in the 2020 election chaos- in Michigan and DC-followed by swampy deep state violation of all norms going after the Bad Orange Man, gas pipelines in the Baltic, we will not have a country left if we allow these criminals in our system to get away without punishment-and we fail to celebrate the heroes who call them out and attempt to take them down or perish in the fight-to be recognized as true patriots fighting for concepts and principles bigger than themselves.
One hero is a person whose name supplanted John Wilkes Booth in the annals of treachery, Lee Harvey Oswald, aka A.J./Alex J. Hidell, Alex Hydell, Albert Hidel, O.H. Lee and myriad variants. The other is lesser known because he did his best and most valuable work in the murky, dusty, dirty shadows of the espionage /counter-espionage world, double-dealing, double crossing, in the dangerous and murky heat behind the scenes during the cold war. His name is Richard Case Nagell (CPT, USA Ret.,) aka Joseph Kramer, Robert C. Nolan (Field Operations Intelligence and CIA,) “Laredo” (Soviet Intelligence) and many other variants known to few. To such a man, names are tools.
What did they do to merit-to earn such recognition?
Nagel sent a letter to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover in September 1963 warning of an assassination plan/attempt later that month-25-27 September 1963-against JFK in DC that specifically cited Oswald as one of those involved. When Nagel-“Laredo-” who was reportedly contracted to take out Oswald to prevent it from happening-likely by the KGB/GRU (an action reportedly authorized by his CIA handlers,) for the Soviets, who rightly feared that such an action by the person who married the daughter of a Soviet intelligence officer would immediately throw shade and guilt on them for his actions: but Nagel realized that he was being played.
He knew intuitively, but mostly through gut instinct-the most important information source in his business-that supposed facts and emerging information did not make sense. He had reportedly talked to and puzzled over Oswald’s responses-thinking he (LHO) was in over his head-as usual. But he had seen no indication that Hoover had acted upon his letter.
We will never know the truth with Nagel’s passing and the loss of his personal files that were likely so cryptic as to be indecipherable to normal humans. I don’t feel out on a limb to speculate that Nagel-very comfortable operating in Mexico City and closely tied to the dirty underbelly of one of the hotbeds of 1960s espionage involving Cuba and the Soviets-among others-at the time, was likely solicited-contracted as a contingency vis a vis Oswald either before the act or during his exfiltration to Mexico. Nagel knew with the dirty dealing ongoing he would also likely be taken out by a third party in keeping with the Carlos Marcello tenet for secrecy: three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.
What would you do in such a case? If you were trained in the black arts, intimately and ultimately familiar with what happens to snitches and the story about stitches, you would intuitively know that you were a dead man walking if you took direct action-“they” could always find another Oswald and it was very clear that “they” were the government that was supposed to step in-stop it-the “white hat” in this murder for hire kabuki dance. But “they” kept coming up as an integral part of all the various plans. A specific sanction would not have mattered in any event because of the depth and maturity of the emerging details of the plans that involved at least five separate entities and as many as three different plans.
I will cover what I mean by that later, but Nagel in his prime-most of his life-was a spy’s-spy, a master tradecraft expert who spoke fluent Japanese and was handy in several languages.
Author Dick Russel wrote “The Man That Knew Too Much,” an indefatigable chase of Nagel’s story where the author likely qualified for a masters in intelligence tradecraft wrestling with the often arcane and archaic storyline-as well as Nagel’s stingy, coded and guarded explanations. Nagel was pitted against and matched wits with our cold war enemies during a complex and dangerous time when it was “no holds barred,” dog eat dog, only the strong survive. What differentiated Nagel from his peers-according to Russel-is that he had a conscious-a rarity in the black arts and a vulnerability in the cold-blooded world in which he traveled. Nagel was not above testing the author with cues, hints and mysteries to be solved in pursuit of his story: and to Russell’s credit and our benefit, he took the challenge head on.
Nagel operated at an operational level-plans were made, objectives and outcomes set, people met, people talked, people did things, and people cleaned up the mess. By mid-September Nagel knew that the FBI-Hoover-was in on it as well, having heard nothing back on his letter and likely realizing that he now had a very big target on his back given the deafening silence that ensued from his warning.
He decided on a course of action that was the most visible, insane and noticeable act imaginable, crossing into Texas from Mexico in mid-September 1963, walking into a bank in El Paso and firing two 45Cal bullets into the ceiling of the bank, resulting in his immediate apprehension and arrest for bank robbery: what he obviously considered an attention getter, an immediate federal crime that would call attention to him, shine light on his “handlers,” force them to act and ultimately expose his warning and the plot.
Any law enforcement search of the national data base would not take long to hit a national security advisement on which agency to contact when running Nagel’s name, as well as some of the alias’s he allowed them to discover among his belongings.
Oswald was well known to Nagel and had been since they first crossed paths at Atsugi AFB in Japan, where US Army CPT Nagel-ten years his senior and like an PhD in comparison to the young Marine who was not yet 20-had occasion to see somebody in training whom he could not but consider other than as a rank amateur and fool who would likely get himself in trouble, if not killed, based on exuberance and inexperience alone.
Oswald not only similarly learned of the assassination conspiracy but was invited to participate as a shooter in the effort. He also sent an assassination warning on or about 17 November 1963 to the New Orleans FBI office specifically warning about the Dallas segment of the JFK trip. He too faced the countdown to an action warned about and considered his options.
If you have not heard of these warnings from Nagel and Oswald before-sent via an obvious and unignorable pathway by known “tools” of the agency-both of whom had proven their “mettle” over time as sources: welcome to the conspiracy theory hour!
He had an uncanny knack for involvement in “these things” that belied his relative youth and seeming inexperience-recall-per the Warren Commission Report (WCR)-he was unsociable, a loner, did not make friends easily, just 23 at the time-yet he managed to “penetrate it.” The more he learned about what “it-” really meant-much like Nagel-but this is where my sense is that the perennially guarded Nagel underestimated how clever Oswald truly was, having bought into his surface level cover of a dullard, wannabe, borderline if not actual loser, so desperate to be involved and accepted: totally in over his head.
From that standpoint I believe Nagel failed to discern that in Oswald he was dealing with a less polished, mirror image of himself-a patriot with a conscious, guarded, very young but nonetheless-an intelligence operative that had consistently fooled the best of them with his blatantly simplistic-harmless and disarming public persona: Oswald was the perennially underestimated potted plant in the room, and he had the act near perfected. Nobody likely ever underestimated Nagel-and that was not the cover that he sought anonymity within.
A tell throughout Oswald’s young life was his mastery and proficiency of the Russian language that was almost shocking to those whom he allowed to experience it because of the contrast with the veneer of-for lack of a better term-his adopted cover of being a “dufus” that is plainly evident in any description of him.
Consider how extraordinary it was for a “troubled American youth” described by the WCR to emerge by age 24 skilled to near native proficiency in Russian, having already lived in both Japan and somewhat of an aborted defection/non-defection to Russia, where he was in position to be a patsy-should the CIA need one to fend off an outraged president-for the Francis Gary Powers U-2 shootdown that scuttled the Eisenhower-Khrushchev Paris Summit. Later he was on the monthly payroll of the FBI and CIA as an informant and/or operative, also involved in top secret cancer research with somebody like the world-renowned Dr. Alton Ochsner and Dr. Mary Sherman.
Course, nobody knew anything about all that at the time-and most know nothing about it still.
Oswald had uniquely ingratiated and positioned himself to participate in discussions with many of the main groups talking assassination that summer, in the process becoming increasingly aware that he had few options to change the outcome. None of them involved telling any of his contacts and handlers at the FBI and CIA about it-nor the Dallas Police Department, nor New Orleans PD, nor any of the anti-Castro groups being funded by the CIA, FBI or the mafia: those crooked and treasonous rat basswich government agents were to a man-in on one or more of the plans.
Things likely came to a head with his deep involvement in the anti-Castro direct action plan-a time when he had postured all summer (1963) as a pro-“Castroite” via the Fair Play for Cuba Committee to establish cover to gain access to Cuba if necessary to work aspects of plans to assassinate Castro being pursued out of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy’s (AG RFK) office that was focused on either an assassination while Castro drove to the beach in his military jeep, or the development of a fast acting cancer solution. Which Oswald was up to his neck in that summer-signed up to-in effect-play the “mule” to get the cancer to Mexico for infiltration to Cuba.
This effort-in concert with David Ferrie, Judith Vary, Dr. Mary Sherman and the resources of the renowned Dr. Ochsner-leveraged ongoing top-secret work to find and isolate a cure for the potential monkey-pox cancerous infected polio vaccines that the US Government had unwittingly administered to some 6 million children in the mid-1950s, including the very public demonstration of “safety” done by Dr. Ochsner for administration of the vaccine to his grandchildren, one of whom tragically died, while another was paralyzed.
The assassination groups proliferated that summer and in hindsight-what we would ordinarily believe was the most likely and obvious trigger action-had we known about it-was JFK’s dictate that he would pursue a dialogue through a third party with Castro, while RFK aggressively pushed for the next Castro direct action to start in earnest on 1 December 1963.
But with the adamant and dogmatic statements from JFK that the mafia-mob-would not be invited nor afforded the opportunity to re-establish their casino and resorts presence in Cuba after Castro was “disposed of,” coupled with his comments on the elimination of the Oil Depletion subsidy, his emerging plans to extricate the US from Vietnam in the new year, his strong support for civil rights and ending segregation, as well as his plan to get the CIA under control-“scatter it to the wind in 1000 pieces,” firing the top 3 from the agency over the Bay of Pigs, and not retain J Edgar Hoover as FBI Director which required a waiver once he hit 70. There were any one of a dozen different reasons that could have been the final straw, since much of the RFK plan ongoing with the Cubans involved the direct and indirect support of the mafia, including Sam Giancana, Santos Trafficante and others such as Carlos Marcello, Johnny Rosselli, Frank Costello and Jimmy Hoffa.
But the real go-ahead had been given by LBJ as early as the previous year via his super lawyer Ed Clark when he suddenly realized that he was going to be indicted once the Bobby Baker and Billy Sol Estes criminal proceedings were complete-and they were pressed to talk to mitigate their sentences as it became public knowledge that “somebody” in government from the Austin Texas area-who initially and unsuccessfully distanced himself from both of them-kept coming up in their schemes: they went down believing their partner and “sugar daddy-” LBJ-would save them.
In the end he found a way to save himself and the blame is on LBJ’s crooked and godless head that all the assassination plots drew strength from his indifference and interference, as no other person on earth would have the power to facilitate and enforce the massive coverup that had to take place for “them” to get away with it.
They-the conspirators-all seemed somewhat thrilled and cheered the prospect of assassinating JFK for any one of a dozen different reasons. Oswald had played his role so well to this point there was only one or a handful of people who knew that he could no more assassinate Kennedy than his own mother: he was truly on his own.
Oswald-much like Nagel before him-did one of the bravest, selfless and most foolish things imaginable that defies logic and reason and goes counter to anything we’ve heard about him for the last six decades: an act of suicide that he well knew would likely lead to his murder.
He took up a firing position in the book depository “sniper’s nest”-he wasn’t alone-in his place of work-and when the fatal hour approached and the communications coordinator was about to give the signal to fire, he fired first, a warning shot, jumping the gun on the assassination teams plan to fire a deadly salvo on command mere moments later. It was a genius plan if you think about it that has defied logic and reason-or even discovery-ever since.
At the first sign of an issue, protocol called for the Secret Service-the Presidential limousine driver-to motor away immediately: but not this day.
Oswald did not need to change the position of his weapon or look through the scope as the limousine approached-he had it aimed in an innocuous and harmless direction and fired it almost remotely to avoid telltale paraffin traces from the shot, which Dallas PD did not find on him. Oswald then fled as the actual shooting commenced and his partner was busy shooting, to be seen in the cafeteria below, eventually making his way back to his apartment to get his pistol.
He was likely going to play the “chicken” card when and if pressed on his “warning shot” that had-indeed-been in vain, his story being a case of cold feet at the last second, similar to Tippit on the grassy knoll.
Had J. Edgar Hoover taken action by notifying the secret service based upon Nagel’s letter or Oswald’s notification-and recall those warnings were in addition to the plots that had already been worked through in Chicago and Tampa leading up to Dallas-there is almost no possibility that the limousine would follow such a route in Dealy Plaza in front of the book depository to align the limousine for the Emmons Freeway entrance.
But there is no evidence Hoover-that rat basswich, scheming, blackmailing FBI Director for life wannabe shared that warning with anybody-not RFK, not the secret service: nobody.
There were no reports of danger on that fateful day. The route would never have been approved-and you would have had secret service, police or military coverage for each and every one of those overwatch positions in Dealy Plaza (per protocol:) you would like to think it would have made a difference, notwithstanding that all the facts that have emerged since indicate otherwise.
The Introduction in Dick Russell’s book was ably written by Lachy Hulme-it is powerful, incisive, informative and on point. He asks a disturbing but simple question that strikes at the heart of the issue at stake: “What would you do if you could stop the assassination of JFK? Would you forego your family? Your Honor? Would you sacrifice your respect and reputations? Would you relinquish your freedom, your safety, and further, your very sanity, to save the life of a man you’ve never met?
In 1963, one man did. His story awaits you within…”
-Lachy Hulme
Melbourne, Australia, March 2003.
I think Hulme asks the right question when you come right down to the meat-the heart of the question behind the two heroes I introduced above.
I take slight issue with his commentary and would amend it thusly: In 1963, two men did…
Their answer to the challenge has never been acknowledged, recognized for the valiant attempt both men made in the face of an impossible task-a “mission impossible,” the decision they separately made, and the sacrifice of their lives in a worthy cause.
Sixty years have almost passed. And yet their story remains untold, their predicament an enigma: what would you do?
