"We] 1, against, as I said, an, unstable individual,
mixed-up - individual, uneducated individual, without
background. What government would give him any con-
fidential work? No government would. (IX H 237)
Why then the intimacy between this man of "superior education'
(Dé Mohrenschildt) and this "unstable" and "mixed up" person
(oswald) ? With respect to Oswald there should have been
inaction on behalf of De Mohrenschildt. If Oswald seemed to
be a. nobody, De Mohrenschildt was surely a somebody. A former
CIA agent, an acquaintance of Bill Turner (who is on the staff
of and contributes articles to Ramparts and is a careful student
of the assassination) told Turner the CIA would have assigned
someone the task of befriending Oswald and keeping an eye on
him. De Mohrenschildt could be that someone. There is no
other reason why he should have shown such an interest in
Oswald. De Mohrenschildt is a petroleum geologist, associates
with the socially most prominent people, was sustepected of
being a Nazi agent during World War II, was connected with
our State Department in 1957-1958 (XIX H 555), and during the
forties was involved in Facts, Inc. with a partner Baron Maydell,
who was accuesed of being a German spy and who was certainly
pro Nazi.
De Mohrenschildt also went to Yougoslavia and Ghana as a
geological consultant for our State Department. The Haitian
government repaid him work in the form of sesal plantation.
Why was this man described as one with "superior education"
interested in Oswald? Why was De Mohrenschildt interested in
Oswald? And finally, why was no one interested in De Mohrenschildt
on the day of the assassination? The one point at which we should
have expected action on the part of the government would have
been in response to this subversive activities, but never is
there action on the basis of those.
