Johnson passed the actual planning and execution of the assasination to a man named Mac Wallace, who had been arrested in Austin, Texas, in the late 50's and convicted of murder. Through Johnson, a 5 year suspended sentence was arranged, with the apparent understanding that Mac Wallace would be Johnson's "man" from then on. All Lyndon Johnson had to do was tell Mac Wallace what he wanted done, and then tell him who to go see to get the ball rolling (probably J. Edgar Hoover) After that, no further involvement was needed on Johnsons part. Oswald's background was made known among the fanatically anti-communist oilmen in Texas at that time, a Marine who had defected to Russia and then returned to settle in Ft. Worth... the perfect patsie in 1963. .More than likely, Oswald wasn't the only person who died within days of the assassination,I would think the middle-level managers of this operation went away fairly quickly, too. It would be interesting to know if death records for the period Nov-May, 1963 in both Dallas and Austin would still be available, and then somehow cross-check that information
to see who might have been present in Dallas that day.
Mac Wallace was in Dallas Nov 22nd and was seen exciting the County Records building shortly after the killing....this building is one of the suspected sites for another shooter. A spent 30.06 shell was found under a lip of roofing shingle by an air conditioning repairman working
on the roof of this buidling in the late 1980's.

It was Mac Wallace whose fingerprint has recently been identified as the one that was found on the packing box in the sniper's nest on the sixth floor. There was no reason for him to be there... he did not work in the building.

Mac Wallace's fingerprint was found in the supposed sniper's nest of Oswald.

That was the name of the man whose print was finally identifies, Wallace. I couldn't remember it in my previous post.

So where did Mac Wallace end up after that day?

Oswald was working for us against Castro. The facts on the ground are that he was an extreme anti communist; but, he displayed pro-communist tendancies for the purpose of building a cover for himself in his anti-castro and anti-communist activities. Oswald appears to have actually been working for Bobby Kennedy's Freedom project which was run out of Bobby's office for security reasons. Everyone of any repute knew that Oswald wasn't a communist. It was so obvious it was early on considered that he was being sheep dipped as a communist to make him a good patsy. That is before much of the information we have now was out.

Who else knew or had access to the highly classified information restricted to a small circle around the President's brother? It's clear to me that Oswald was a patsy. The question then becomes, who is in the know that can use that as advantage. The coverup began immediately.
Before Oswald's name made it to the press. Remember, The limo at Parkland was pulled from public view when it was noted there was a bullet hole in the front windshield.

Stop and think about this for a moment. The car is open.
The whole interior is covered in blood. And the minute someone notes a hole in the windshield, the car disappears.
And not just A hole, a hole that entered through the front of the window and exited through the back according to the testimony of a 30 year expert in working with glass. Happens also to be the man from Ford who oversaw the replacement of said windshield and was ordered to destroy the original.

The Vice president was the one person on the ground in Dallas that day with the authority to pull those strings.
And the car was pulled before the American Public knew the name Lee Harvey Oswald.

According, though, to Fletcher Prouty (sp) Oswald's Bio was already being circulated in South America before Oswald was known here.

Who has the authority to do that? And how would they know who Oswald was to put out the cover story before anyone had a clue who he was. Remember, Oswald wasn't initially Oswald - he was ratted out under another name. A name that only the US government knew. Pretty handy.
