There he is; Oswald, the loner! The, insignificant being
shown perferential treatment from the very highest places prior
to the assassination. There he is, Oswald, the loner who defected
with an F.B.I. informant number and a firuge for a salary of
$200.00 from that same agency. (V H 242) On January 22, 1964, Rankin
was informed by Waggoner Carr, the Attorney General of Texas, that
Oswald had been a paid F.B.I. informer. (V P 242) The Warren
Commission undertook no independent investigation, no meaningful
action to determine the veracity of this report. Is there no action,
because they knew it was true? If Oswald was just a lonely nobody,
why is it there are fifty-one documents classified to secret in
the National Archives relating to Oswald and Ruby if both of these
men are so unimportant? Why should there be action on the
part
of our government to suppress infromation about nobodies- unless
they are really somebodies?
Why is it George De Morhenschildt should have any reaction
at all to Oswald? If all things were normal, as they are supposed
to have been on the surface, there would be no two people less
liley to have any kind of relationship than De Mohrenschildt
and Oswald. Albert E. Jenner, Jr., Commission Counsel, describes
De Mohrenschildt for us as follows:
you are a man of very superior education
and extremly wide :experience and acquaintance
here and in Europe, South America, West Indies-
you have lived an extremely colorful life
De Mohrenschildt simply replies:
"Yes. (IX H 236)
On the next page of the testimony De Mohrenschildt describes
Oswald:
II never would believe that any `government
would be stupid: enough' to trust Lee with
anything important.
Jenner asked:
"Give me the basis of your opinion.
