<photo: Walker's 1975 letter to Senator Frank Church saying he heard Oswald's name "within days" of the Walker shooting on April 10, 1963; flatly refuting his own Warren Commission testimony. > The 1996 book, Assignment Oswald, by former Dallas FBI agent James Hosty, offered a JFK conspiracy theory which was first shredded by J. Edgar Hoover in 1964, and then shredded by Bill Simpich in 2014. In my reading, Hosty’s CT actually shows how close he was to the Dallas plotters.

<photo: DPD Lieutenant Jack Revill, Criminal Intelligence Section, 1964> The main issue that FBI chiefs had to answer before the Warren Commission (WC) about James Hosty was why he had failed to tell the Washington DC Secret Service and local security authorities about Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO). Each FBI executive responded to that question several times during the WC hearings. They all responded repeatedly that the FBI had no information to suggest that LHO was violent. Y

<photo: Lee Harvey Oswald's "Mexico City Letter" of November 9, 1963> Lee Harvey Oswald (hereafter LHO) finished typing his “Mexico City Letter” on Nov 9, 1963. It was the final letter of his life. Three days later he mailed it to the Soviet Embassy in Washington DC, where the FBI instantly intercepted it. Dallas FBI agent James Hosty made this letter into the centerpiece of his written statement to the US Congress Church Committee on Nov 14, 1975, seeking to prove that L

<photo: James Hosty ~1975 testifying before the US Congress Church Committee> THE WORRIES OF JAMES HOSTY James Hosty expressed worry over his account of the meeting between KGB agent V.V. Kostikov and Lee Harvey Oswald (hereafter LHO). This fact can lead us to an interesting conundrum. Let’s continue reading from James Hosty’s book, Assignment Oswald (1996) on the topic of LHO meeting KGB agent Valeriy Kostikov in Mexico City on Sep 27-28, 1963: As soon as I received

To begin, let’s flashback to mid-April 1963. 1. FL

<photo: Ex-General Edwin Walker returns to Love Field in 1962 after his release from the military insane asylum to which JFK sent him three days ago. The mark on his left shoulder is soot from the deadly racial riot at Ole Miss> James Hosty published a book 33 years after the JFK Assassination, namely, Assignment Oswald (1996). The title seems to claim that the FBI had “assigned” James Hosty to the case of Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO), but that’s a stretch. Actually; FBI headq

<photo: Former Dallas FBI Agent James Hosty, ca. 1986> My review of Dallas FBI agent James Hosty will require several parts. Let’s start with a brief summary of Hosty’s own testimony on May 5, 1964, before US Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, Senator John Cooper, Congressman Gerald Ford, CIA Director John McCloy and former CIA Director Allen Dulles. 1. The FBI had no official duties with regard to the JFK motorcade. At noon Hosty was at the corner of Main and Fie

Dallas FBI Agent James Hosty: JFK Conspirator? In this blog post, I will use WC testimony to build a case that Dallas FBI agent James Hosty deliberately held back crucial evidence from the Secret Service PRS. That evidence was about about General Walker, Robert Alan Surrey, and their armed militia in Dallas named the Minutemen. In 1964 the Warrant Commission (hereafter WC) had exposed Alan Surrey’s role in publishing the famous, WANTED FOR TREASON: JFK handbill, by moti

<photo: Former Dallas FBI Agent James Hosty in 1975 testifying for the Edwards Subcommittee.> As long-time readers here know, I have suspected Dallas FBI agent James Hosty in a conspiracy with the resigned General Edwin Walker and his Minutemen in Dallas in the JFK Assassination. I’m familiar with the main literature, of conspiracy theories, including the works by Jim Garrison, Mark Lane, Jim Marrs, Oliver Stone, Harold Weisberg, Robert Groden, Peter Dale Scott, Fletcher Pr

Stephen King -- author -- 11.22.63 I mentioned last week that I appreciated Stephen King's treatment of George De Mohrenschildt in his fiction work, 11.22.63, which realistically recognized George as the man who encouraged Lee Harvey Oswald (hereafter LHO) to try to assassinate the resigned General Edwin Walker on April 10, 1963. Anybody who has thoroughly read the final testament of George De Mohrenschildt as he evaded testifying for the House Select Committee on Assassinat
