Episode 309 is the twenty-first episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder. David Belin, the celebrated Warren Commission attorney called it the "Rosetta Stone" of the JFK assassination. It may very well be just that...but for other reasons! In this twenty-first episode, we bring to you an interview conducted by Dallas JFK researcher Michael Brownlow and Professor William Pulte. Their conversation with an witness whose fear required their identity to remain anonymous but who was a waitress at Austin's BBQ and who worked there in the period leading up to, and after, the assassination of President Kennedy. She knew J.D. Tippit personally and witnessed him at Austin's BBQ with Jack Ruby. She witnesses Ruby and Tippit having coffee together. And she saw all three of these men together at the restaurant. Ruby, Tippit and Oswald...together. She saw enough to easily assume that they were friends. We hear it locally from a first hand witness and we close the show out with remarks from a veteran researcher Joan Mellen who interviewed more witnesses than almost anyone. And Joan, rest her soul, reminds us that the broader record of witnesses confirms that these men knew each other. Yes…there is a grave possibility that the true "Rosetta Stone" of November 22nd, 1963, might just lie in the quiet Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff, waiting for us to finally put the pieces together. This is a wander I've created especially for you…and of all the wanders you have taken with me, this Tippit series may be the most thrilling of all! As we wind down the Tippit series, I hope that you will enjoy these last few episodes of what is one of the most riveting aspects of the JFK assassination story.

Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: The Day the World Changed: Perspectives from Fort Worth and OklahomaSummary: On November 22, 1963, Pete Gregory watched President Kennedy in Fort Worth while his son Paul, a student in Oklahoma, witnessed the news of the assassination. Seeing the suspect on television, Paul instantly recognized Lee Harvey Oswald, realizing the gravity of his connection to the unfolding tragedy.Article: On the morning of November 22, Pete Gregory stood outside the Continental Life Insurance building to watch President Kennedy address a friendly crowd, dispelling fears of right-wing hostility in Texas, before returning to his office where he later learned the President had been shot. Meanwhile, at the University of Oklahoma, Paul Gregory watched Walter Cronkite tearfully announce the President's death before seeing a bruised Lee Harvey Oswald on television, prompting him to tell his classmates, "I know that guy," and immediately concluding that Oswald was likely guilty and had acted alone.
uest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: A Helping Hand: The Gregorys Meet the OswaldsSummary: In June 1962, the Texas Employment Office asked Pete Gregory to evaluate Lee Harvey Oswald's Russian fluency. Impressed by Lee's fluency despite his poor grammar, Pete wrote a recommendation and introduced Lee to his son Paul, who began taking Russian lessons from Marina to help the impoverished couple.Article: In June 1962, Lee Harvey Oswald arrived at Pete Gregory's office in a heavy wool suit during the Texas heat, seeking certification of his Russian language skills to avoid manual labor. Pete confirmed Oswald's fluency, though he noted the grammar was poor and uncharacteristic of a trained spy, and subsequently introduced Lee to his son Paul, who began visiting the Oswalds' duplex for Russian conversation lessons with Marina to provide them with modest financial support.

THE WARREN COMMISSION AND THE LONE GUNMAN CONCLUSION Colleague Paul Gregory. Paul Gregory discusses the Warren Commission and the enduring conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination. He visited Dealey Plaza personally to assess the sniper's nest, concluding the shot was "fairly easy" for a prepared shooter. Gregory dismisses the idea of a complex conspiracy, noting the spontaneity of Oswald's opportunity at the Book Depository. He highlights the Soviet Union's own suspicion that Oswald was a rogue element. A major focus is Marguerite Oswald's testimony; she confronted Chief Justice Earl Warren, demanding subpoena rights and claiming her son was a scapegoat. Gregory asserts that understanding Marguerite's influence and delusion is essential to understanding the psychological formation of her son, Lee. NUMBER 7
THE MORNING OF THE ASSASSINATION AND IDENTIFYING THE SUSPECT Colleague Paul Gregory. Paul Gregory recounts the morning of November 22, 1963, from the perspective of his father, Pete Gregory, a Russiantranslator who watched President Kennedy speak outside a hotel in Fort Worth. Pete later returned to his office, only to learn shortly after that the President had been shot. Meanwhile, Paul was a student at the University of Oklahoma when a classmate announced the shooting. Gathering around a television with other students, he watched Walter Cronkiteannounce the President's death. When Lee Harvey Oswald appeared on screen as a suspect, Paul shocked his peers by declaring, "I know that guy." He immediately suspected Oswald was guilty and anticipated being contacted by authorities, which occurred the following morning. NUMBER 1
MEETING LEE HARVEY OSWALD AND THE SEARCH FOR EMPLOYMENT Colleague Paul Gregory. This segment traces the relationship back to June 1962, when Pete Gregory first met Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald, seeking employment that utilized his Russian language skills rather than manual labor, was referred to Pete for a language evaluation. Pete wrote a letter vouching for Oswald's fluency, though he noted Oswald was not a native speaker. Oswaldwas bitter about working as a welder for low wages and hoped to avoid the "blue-collar trap." The segment also introduces the first meeting between Paul and the Oswalds at Robert Oswald's home, where Paul observed Lee's poor grammar despite his fluency. To help the couple financially, the Gregorys arranged for Paul to take Russian conversation lessons from Marina Oswald. NUMBER 2
POVERTY, RUSSIAN LESSONS, AND THE DINNER PARTY INCIDENT Colleague Paul Gregory. Paul Gregory describes his visits to the Oswalds' impoverished duplex for Russian lessons in the summer of 1962. He notes a specific Time magazine featuring President Kennedy on their coffee table; Marina admired Kennedy, calling him a good father, while Lee seemingly agreed. The couple faced severe deprivation, lacking even a baby carriage, which forced Marina to carry their infant everywhere. A pivotal moment occurred during a dinner with the "Dallas Russians," a local immigrant community. When challenged about defecting from the US, Oswald flew into a "controlled rage," alienating the group. The guests' offer to drive the Oswalds home signaled the end of Lee's ability to isolate Marina, marking a significant turning point in their lives. NUMBER 3
THE WALKER ATTEMPT AND DELUSIONS IN NEW ORLEANS Colleague Paul Gregory. The narrative shifts to April 1963, when a shaken Oswald confessed to Marina that he had attempted to assassinate General Edwin Walker. Marina found a note with instructions but did not report him, though she threatened to leave if he tried such violence again. Soon after, Oswald moved to New Orleans to build credentials as a pro-Castro operative, hoping to secure a visa to Cuba and eventually the Soviet Union. Gregory explains that Oswald did not actually want to return to Russia but needed a Soviet visa to enter Cuba. During this period, Oswald became increasingly delusional, inventing aliases and seeking status, though there was no evidence yet of a plan to kill President Kennedy. NUMBER 4
PROTECTING THE FAMILY AND THE BACKYARD PHOTOGRAPH Colleague Paul Gregory. Following the assassination, Oswald's mother, Marguerite, contacted Pete Gregory seeking shelter for herself and Marina. Petecoordinated with the Secret Service to move the women to a hotel at Six Flags to protect them from the press and facilitate interrogation. Authorities were particularly focused on a photo of Oswald holding a rifle; Marina initially hesitated to admit she took it, fearing legal consequences. Pete Gregory helped bridge the trust gap between Marina and the Secret Service. The situation escalated when the family learned Lee Harvey Oswald had been shot. Marguerite and Marina were taken to Parkland Hospital to view his body, after which Marguerite began demanding he be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. NUMBER 5
MOTIVE AND THE PSYCHOLOGY OF A NARCISSIST Colleague Paul Gregory. In the final segment, Gregoryexplores Oswald's motive, arguing that history has underestimated his intelligence and manipulativeness. Despite his dyslexia and poor education, Oswald successfully manipulated government officials in both the US and USSR. The motive was rooted in a desire to prove his greatness to the world—a belief instilled by his mother—and to prove his manhood to Marina, who viewed him with scorn. Oswald viewed the trial as a platform to broadcast his political theories and achieve historic status. Ultimately, Gregory concludes the assassination was the act of a narcissist trying to escape insignificance and domestic failure by committing a "monstrous act." NUMBER 8

Dan, an attorney, worked with Edwin Lopez and Robert Blakey in the HSCA This interview from 2017, show #822 The HSCA Lopez-Hardway Report, Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City When Dan was getting too close to certain issues, CIA brought in George Joannides Joannides covered-up David Phillips' propaganda activities linking Oswald to Castro Phillips was not rogue, possibly he was used from within the Agency Dan did this work 40 years ago, he has not had the time to keep up with research There was Intelligence involvement in setting up the cover-up in advance Was CIA involved in the assassination? We tried not to speculate Is CIA suspect? Yes. Evidence?

Did he go? I don't know Evidence, indications, testimony, records, questionable A distinct possibility he could have been impersonated in Mexico City The kind of details we get hung up in, in an Intelligence operation, we can expect Pretty sure a photo was obtained and a tape recording survived, they ended up in Dallas FBI saw a photo and heard a tape, neither one of them were of Oswald Gary Cornwell wasn't very supportive of Dan and Eddie Most HSCA staffers were at least agnostic on the issue of conspiracy Eddie and Dan got a lot of insulation from Bob (Blakey) Sprague and Tanenbaum, went in thinking they could act like prosecuting attorneys A Congressional Investigation could not indict, did not have prosecutor authority When it blew up, they left, a huge mess, doubt whether it would finish What Blakey could do was produce a report and suggest legislation Dan started in the dark, they found the basis of what the ARRB found and disclosed Cover-up does not prove conspiracy, other possible motivations to cover-up CIA admitted participating in a benign cover-up, Thank You Phil Shenon (10/2015) Dan's blog, realhillbillyviews.blogspot.com CIA was declassifying the Lopez-Hardway report at three days per four paragraphs Someone, maybe CIA, made marginalia notes in the declassified draft People plotting to kill Castro, could have been in on killing Kennedy It takes painstaking work to pull out the threads and make the connections It's now a historical rather then a forensic investigation Select Committees are limited in time, purpose, and funding Speculation, animosity about the King investigation, Southern congressman Mickey Goldsmith, sharp, supportive, backed up Dan and Eddie with CIA Our motto was "Reality is Irrelevant" The Prosecutor's Tale (July 14, 2016) Play Dan Hardway (13:13) Youtube 50 Reasons for 50 Years...

Twitter Facebook We lost Ruth Paine this year on August 31. Ruth was a great lady, one of the few heroes and persons of kindness in the run-up and the aftermath of the JFK assassination. As Thomas Mallon has noted, we know so much about the moods, mind and appearances of Lee Harvey Oswald in the critical six weeks before the assassination because Oswald sometimes stayed at Ruth’s house, used Ruth’s typerwriter, and visited Ruth’s home the night before the assassination to retrieve something from her garage that she did not know was there: the rifle that Oswald used to kill JFK. All this was possible because Ruth befriended Oswald’s wife, Marina, who certainly needed friends. HIstory might have turned out differently if Marina had returned the favor to Ruth and told her all that she knew, including the existence of the rifle in Ruth Paine’s garage. This is my tribute to Ruth, who richly deserves it. Twitter Facebook

Bestselling author and noted historian Mark Shaw returns to Commonwealth Club World Affairs to discuss his latest research and his newest book. They strengthen his conclusion that New Orleans mafia don Carlos Marcello was the point person pulling the strings behind the murders of JFK and famed journalist Dorothy Kilgallen. And, for the first time, he also links Marcello to the murder of Robert Kennedy. In his previous books, Shaw established the connections between Marcello, Oswald, Ruby and Kilgallen and Marcello's use of Kilgallen's lover to silence her before she could expose Marcello's involvement in the JFK assassination. In his latest book, Abuse of Power, Shaw lays out compelling evidence that Marcello's pattern of using patsies to exact his revenge culminated in his setting Sirhan Sirhan up to take the fall for the assassination of RFK on June 6, 1968. Shaw's new research includes his examination of the JFK assassination records recently released by the federal government. In those files is a December 1985 FBI transcript in which Carlos Marcello was taped “confessing” to his role in JFK's death: “Yeah, I had the son of a b---h killed. I'm glad I did. I wish I could have done it myself.” Shaw investigates whether Marcello decided on a similar approach when it became clear in early 1968 that RFK could become president. Shaw says that since Robert Kennedy, as attorney general, had ordered Marcello deported in April 1961, charging him with racketeering, Marcello had no intention of allowing RFK to get in his way again and so had Bobby killed. Shaw alleges that Marcello used his “associate,” mobster Mickey Cohen, who controlled the Southern California racetracks, including Santa Anita, and knew the layout of the Ambassador Hotel where RFK was killed, to “recruit” 24-year-old Sirhan just as the mafia don had recruited Lee Harvey Oswald to assassinate JFK. Evidence for Shaw's allegation is a never-before-published, eyewitness, video-taped account from John Shear, a celebrated paddock captain at Santa Anita Racetrack. He had hired Sirhan to work as a “hot walker” at the racetrack and considered him “easily manipulated.” Shortly before RFK was killed, Shear noticed that Sirhan was all dressed up, had money and was hanging around nearby Hollywood Park Racetrack with “two hoodlums” despite being poorly paid and having gambling debts. Shaw says that shortly after RFK's murder, it was Shear who first identified Sirhan for the LAPD and the FBI from the photo of Sirhan being shown on TV—but Shear was never contacted by either the LAPD or the FBI about Sirhan, pointing to a cover up. Then, just as twice before regarding JFK's and Kilgallen's deaths, the trail of evidence quickly and suspiciously went cold. Join us as Shaw makes sense of the newfound evidence and heats up his call for justice in the murders of JFK, Dorothy Kilgallen and Robert Kennedy. A Humanities Member-led Forum program.

Episode 306 is the nineteenth episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder. David Belin, the celebrated Warren Commission attorney called it the "Rosetta Stone" of the JFK assassination. It may very well be just that...but for other reasons! In this nineteenth episode, we tell the story of Air Force Sergeant Robert Vinson. On the morning of November 22, 1963 Vinson boarded a flight at Andrews Air Force Base bound for Lowry Airforce Base in Colorado. He was hitching a ride to his duty station at Ent Air Force Base and the plane was empty with the exception of Sergeant Vinson, the pilot and the copilot. Shortly after take off, the crew announced president Kennedy's shooting in Dallas and the plane made an immediate detour south. It was not long before they were over Dallas, a city that Vinson recognized as he peered out the window. They would soon land on a sandy strip of land along the Trinity River in Dallas, and without shutting down the aircraft engines, would take on two passengers. From there they would fly to Roswell Air Force Base in New Mexico. The purported landing area would have put the plane close to Oak Cliff. One of the men who boarded in Dallas was Latino. The other was a taller Caucasian man. The pilots and the two men would hastily depart the aircraft upon landing at Roswell. A departure from the original flight plan, Vinson was forced to stay overnight at Roswell and catch a plane the next day to Colorado. But that night he would see pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald on television and feel certain that one of the passengers on the plane, the Caucasian, bore a striking resemblance to Oswald. Vinson would keep this information private until after he retired from the Airforce. Could it have been Oswald's double? Yes…there is a grave possibility that the true "Rosetta Stone" of November 22nd, 1963, might just lie in the quiet Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff, waiting for us to finally put the pieces together. This is a wander I've created especially for you…and of all the wanders you have taken with me, this Tippit series may be the most thrilling of all! And don't worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent. As we wind down the Tippit series, I hope that you will enjoy these last few episodes of what is one of the most riveting aspects of the JFK assassination story.

Episode 305 is the eighteenth episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder. David Belin, the celebrated Warren Commission attorney called it the "Rosetta Stone" of the JFK assassination. It may very well be just that...but for other reasons! In this eighteenth episode, we tell the story of one of the most blatant evidence tampering episodes within the case. And perhaps one of the most blatant ever in any such high profile case. The police logs that officially capture the conversations and the exact time in which they occur were uniquely suited to pinpoint the time of Tippit's death, and thus prove or disprove Oswald's ability to even be at the scene of the crime in time to commit the murder. When it became clear that this information was going to prove the authorities wrong, they altered the transcripts and obfuscated other evidence contained in those logs in order to conceal the fact that many officers were in the Oak Cliff area even when they had no business being there. The combination of these changes were not only designed to shut door the on the case and ensure that Oswald was to be identified as the killer, but they also avoided the obvious questions of a wider conspiracy that may have involved a number of individuals within the Dallas Police Department. Yes…there is a grave possibility that the true "Rosetta Stone" of November 22nd, 1963, might just lie in the quiet Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff, waiting for us to finally put the pieces together. This is a wander I've created especially for you…and of all the wanders you have taken with me, this may be the most thrilling of all! And don't worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent. As we wind down the Tippit series, I hope that you will enjoy these last few episodes of what is one of the most riveting aspects of the JFK assassination story.
Most quantum conundrums are about time, the multiverse, and dimensions, but if you want to dig into the "official version" versus conspiracy theories regarding the JFK assassination, you can become quantumly articulate about Kennedy, Oswald, and the massive time manipulations that happened in 1963. In a true simulation, we may open the door for other factors to come into play, and that is the simultaneous time structures within many patterns and outcomes. Magic Bullets and Red Herrings encourage pseudo-debates and confusion, and are a rather dumb “limited hangout,” a strategy used by intelligence agencies to dangle some truth to divert attention from the core facts of a case they are desperate to conceal.

Paul Gregory describes events on November 23rd when Margarite Oswald called Pete Gregory seeking shelter after she and Marina were essentially abducted by Life magazine. Pete notified Secret Service agent Mike Howard, who moved Marina, Margarite, and the two babies to the Six Flags Inn for interrogation. Margarite immediately began campaigning, demanding her "hero" son be rehabilitated as an innocent CIA/FBI agent. Pete's presence was vital, as Marina feared the Secret Service were the KGB. A crucial interrogation point was the famous photo of Lee with his rifle; Marina was reluctant to confess she took it, fearing reprisal. Upon hearing Lee was dead, Margarite demanded burial at Arlington National Cemetery. Guest: Paul Gregory.
Paul Gregory recounts how his father, Pete Gregory, first met Lee Harvey Oswald in June 1962 after being contacted by the Texas Employment Office. Oswald, recently returned from three years in Minsk, sought work utilizing his Russian language skills. Pete, a fluent Russian speaker, tested Lee and, finding his Russian fluent but grammatically poor, wrote a letter supporting him. Later, Paul met Lee and Marina and proposed taking Russian lessons from Marina to practice with a native speaker. The Oswalds were very poor, living off Lee's tight $56 weekly earnings. Marina eventually earned $35 for the lessons, which she considered a fantastically large amount of money. Guest: Paul Gregory.
Paul Gregory reveals that in April 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald, agitated and shaken, confessed to Marina that he attempted to assassinate General Edwin Walker in Dallas. Marina found a note giving her directions if he failed to return. Though she realized he was deeply disturbed, she kept the event secret until the Warren Commission. Shortly after, Oswald moved to New Orleans, seeking to build credentials as a "radical operative" for Fidel Castro, hoping to secure a Cuban visa that would lead to a Soviet visa. Paul Gregory notes that despite his growing delusions, there was absolutely no indication whatsoever that he was planning to assassinate the president of the United States at this time. Guest: Paul Gregory.
Paul Gregory argues that Lee Harvey Oswald's primary motive was a profound belief that he was special and destined for greatness, fostered by his mother. Gregory insists Oswald is often underestimated, highlighting his achievements as a master manipulator who deceived the Soviets and planned the General Walker assassination attempt. A secondary but major factor was Marina, who constantly scorned his intelligence and manhood, making him feel worthless. Oswald's trial was meant to be his glorious moment to demonstrate his brilliance to the world and Marina. Killing the president offered a way to prove himself to his wife and establish himself as a historical figure. Guest: Paul Gregory. 1961
