Well ain't this special.....
I'm pretty sure the memos were written on a 1958-vintage typewriter.
Holy Grassy Knoll Batman!

"Grassy Knoll Alert"!!!!
I've walked that place, grassy knoll and all....tried to think of all the possibilities. What if's etc etc......dunno. Never heard the farm story though....this is different......:o)
Did the document come from a Kinko's in Abilene, Texas?
I love the logic of "even if it's fake, it must be true". Where have we heard that one recently?
I contend there were two conspiracies - one to kill JFK which was most likely a mob hit, culminated by Ruby's sllencing of the most important witness at point blank range, and the other by the government after the fact to push it all on Oswald as a Castro/Soviet sympathising "lone nut" because they knew the public wouldn't accept the truth that the CIA enlisted the mob to kill Castro and that Oswald had ties before the assassination with known intelligence informants and operatives.
The government stonewalled the truth because it allowed them to claim they "got their man" without others prying into the larger intelligence quagmire but I don't think the government actually planned and executed the assassination because they wouldn't have let anyone as unstable as Oswald get near Dealey Plaza if they had.
"According to the document, “Oswald subject was trained by this agency, under cover of the Office of Naval Intelligence, for Soviet assignments.” In 1957, Oswald allegedly was “active in aerial reconnaissance of mainland China and maintained a security clearance up to the ‘confidential' level.”
That set my bogosometer to jangling.
It's inconceivable that the CIA or the ONI would train anybody for operational work without at least a Top Secret clearance, just for openers.
And...maybe my memory is faulty, but wasn't that "United States Government" on the letterhead centered on genuine stationery?
Mary Mapes will be glad to hear this.
I know I'll piss off a lot of conspiracy folks, but I think that Oswald acted alone. After all, he was trained as a marksman by the USMC and there is such a thing as the 'lucky shot'.
Couple that with the fact that high velocity projectiles do some pretty strange things once they strike something, especially something as complex as a human body and a vintage 1960 car seat.
Is it possible that Oswald was part of a larger plot? Yea, maybe. But I must apply Occams Razor to this problem and that tells me that Oswald was a lone nutbag who was in the right place at the right time.
Just my opinion, your mileage may vary...
Take care my friend.

At least this article does its readers a favor further down (I know, I didn't take my own advice) by mentioning Gerald Posner's "Case Closed". I would strongly urge anyone who still believes in the conspiracy bullcrap to do themselves a favor, and put a dent in Jim Marrs' livelihood, by reading that book.

Who's Norman Mailer?
I don't know about all that with the memo and what not. The one thing that's been a question in my mind since the Nov election was something I heard on the radio.
I can't remember which station I was listening to but they had an ex FBI agent talking about john kerry. And the one thing that stuck in my mind about what he said was that Oswald had stayed at kerry's cousins house for, I can't remember, maybe a week or two just before oswald went out to Dallas and killed President Kennedy. But anyway he said that john kerry had been going over to his cousins and hanging out while oswald was there.
Anyway, that all seemed strange to me.
You're a heartless SOB....(It's one of the things I like about you BTW.)
Good Night my friend.
