He was the instructor for a couple of college classes I took many years ago.
Based on what I’ve just read, Newman has uncovered some pretty amazing facts regarding the CIA’s relationship with LHO. He spoke at a conference in 1999, whereby the whole Oswald Trip to Mexico City at the Cuban or Russian Embassy gets shredded.
Less than 24 hrs of LHO being declared the ‘lonewolf’ the CIA begins misplacing or erasing tapes from their office in Mexico and denying access to photographic evidence.
“The CIA never released the photos from the special “pulse camera” which they had just installed to watch the Cuban Consulate, shortly before Oswald’s visit.
Worse, when the HSCA asked for the “pulse camera” photos, the CIA replied, falsely, that this camera had not been in operation until three months later. See Lopez report, 13-30; footnote 363 on p. A-25, as quoted in Deep Politics II: Essays on Oswald, Mexico, and Cuba, (Grand Prairie, JFK Lancer, 1998, 2nd Printing). p. 9]
