Lone Gunman: The Man Who Knew Lee Harvey Oswald | Uncommon Knowledge 

An obvious question would be that if Oswald was the only person involved in any way at all, why has someone in the government found it vital to keep sealed away the many remaining documents about the incident ? Certainly almost everyone that might have been implicated from something that happened sixty years ago, is long gone. President Trump had promised to release thousands of the remaining sealed documents. Then shortly after, he abruptly walked that promise back, saying that he was told that he couldn't do that.

One small comment. Gregory said that Oswald's wife was not read her Miranda rights but Miranda v Arizona did not happen until 1966

This man seems very credible and I believe his words. The perplexing thing is that he states that he feels Lee Oswald did this to impress Marina, so I can't understand why Lee would go on to say that he was a patsy and not take full credit for the assassination of JFK.

During this time that he paid Marina the $35 for lessons, Oswald up until the day he died was still collecting $200 a month from a government Source because he works for the government. Considering he was sent there, he probably got a good chunk of change when he got back to the country for crying out loud they found $3,000 worth of photography equipment in his possession after he was murdered by Jack Ruby, where strangely enough Richard Nixon was also in Dallas on the date of Jack Kennedy's assassination, and guess who used to work for Richard Nixon, Jack Ruby! That is not a conspiracy theory that is a fact, Jack Ruby was an investigator who was working for Richard Nixon in 1947 when Richard Nixon was still a senator. Further be verified that Lee Harvey Oswald never defected to the Soviet Union. That requires paperwork that he never filled out. Not only that, had he defected, he never would have been allowed to come back to the United States and such an easy fashion. He was signed off to re-enter the country within hours of coming to the u.s. Consulate in Russia. Like the further explained that not only might he be a bit jealous of Marina, Marina is a Form and Function and part of his cover that he is to maintain. Because even in 1962, he is still being used because he was moved to the center of the governmental intelligence area of New Orleans, right next door to an FBI office and a CIA office red he's working in a government facility for Christ's sake, and still getting himself noticed on TV for being pro-communist. Sounds like he's doing his job that he was hired to do quite well. I have been researching the Kennedy assassination every few years since I was about 12 years old I was seven at the time of the shooting cuz I remember it happening in school and hearing the varied accounts on the radio of seven to eight or more shots fired down to as little as three shots fired in Dealey Plaza. That doesn't sound right. But I can show you from the photos in the backyard photograph that the rifle recovered in the school Book Depository is not the rifle that he was photographed with a few weeks earlier. Rifle recovered in the school Book Depository isn't even the same model that he ordered or that he was photographed with. It's the same manufacturer, but it's a different length of firearm at does not have the ability to put a sling on the bottom of the rifle, it goes on the side of that rifle recovered in the school Book Depository where it goes on the bottom of the rifle he's pictured with. That would be called factual evidence of his innocence.

Concerning the Warren Report, it reminds me of that phrase by Abraham Lincoln,"you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." As someone who was born after the assassin- action I have been able to see things more clearly in hindsight and with all of the little bits of new information that have come out it seems that there are way too many*Asterisks* in the Warren Report and it just doesn't pass the smell test if you know what I mean. There is a reason why 75%(the Majority) of people don't believe that one man pulled it off and further explains why millions of pages of our government's files concerning the assassination have not been released.

Surprised the host didn’t know who AJ Hidell was. That’s an important historical figure.

I kept waiting for Peter to ask Dr. Gregory what does he make of LHO's statement that he was a patsy. His angered statement appeared to me as said by a man that felt betrayed and taken for an unsuspecting idiot by someone really in charge

In the summer of 1962, Oswald was 22 years old, not 24.

Odd that he referred to Minsk as a backwater provincial city, when it was the capital of the Belarusian Soviet Republic and a center of technology for all of the Soviet Union. Also, I was in Minsk in 1994 and met former Soviet intelligence officials who said Oswald spoke perfect Russian with almost no accent. Other contemporary sources also say that Oswald’s Russian was excellent. This guy is either misinformed or spreading misinformation.

I've been researching the assassination seriously for more that 15 years, I watch all such videos. I made not one note, a waste of 52 minutes of my valuable time.

Interesting…I have no doubt that Dr. Gregory is sincere in his beliefs, and that he did, in fact, spend time with the Oswalds, but I heard no convincing evidence for his lone-gunman theory other than his own opinion.

How did a Hoover Institution expert get a basic fact wrong? Oswald's attempt to defect and become a Soviet citizen was denied by the Soviet Union, but he was allowed to live in Minsk anyway.

Great conversation between a guy who knew Lee Oswald and his family and a guy who helped Pres Reagan write the, "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall" speech. Witnesses to two major events and people in the 20th century.

The biggest thing I got out of the interview is that whoever is/was responsible picked the ideal patsy.

I’d rather see an inquiry into Jack Ruby.

On Friday, November 22nd 1963, as a route salesman for a Dallas/Ft. Worth vending company, I was filling the Coke machine in the Parkland Hospital cafeteria about a half hour before the presidential motorcade rolled in. I was planning to stay and have lunch but the Friday special was liver and onions, and I NEVER order organ meat in a hospital cafeteria. If roast chicken had been the special, I would have been there when Kennedy arrived. By the way, I had filled the Coke machine in the lunchroom of the Texas School Book Depository that morning. That means that if Oliver Stone and other conspiracy theorists are correct and Lee Harvey Oswald was indeed in the cafeteria drinking a Coke moments after the assassination, it was placed in the machine by Yours Truly. This gets better. The company I worked for was closed on Saturday , in observance of the national tragedy, so on Sunday, while getting paid double overtime, I had to make up the stops I didn't get to on Saturday - including the Dallas Police Headquarters. I had just pulled my truck into the parking garage when I spotted one of my regular customers, Jack Ruby -owner of the Carousel Nightclub where we had a couple of machines. He waved to me as I drove past. He was on his way on foot to somewhere in the garage.

One thing from the account of Oswald's experience stuck out for me, the fact that not only did Russia allow him to return to America after defecting, but they even assisted him financially. Were they really that generous?

Good grief, Jackie’s suit can’t even be viewed until 2103, when we’re all gone. And then only by certain people. It was never forensically examined. The clothing of the person siting closest to him was never examined for blood spatter patterns, which would likely show exactly where the kill shot came from. Or maybe it HAS been forensically examined and the results don’t support the story we’ve been fed.

Always a treasure to see the same host. He has been a constant in the midst of much change.

We should add one more person to the discussion, Lee Harvey Oswald's brother Robert. Robert was the first family member to see Lee in jail after his arrest. When he arrived, he stated later that he could see in Lee's face and manner "He had done it". Robert continued to believe this afterwards.

So Oswald wants to impress the world (and Marina) and assassinate JFK and Tippet. To show the world that that he isn't a "nobody". But after his arrest Oswald never claims to have shot at JFK, Tippet or at Walker. In fact he says "I am a patsy". Also Jack Ruby conveniently kills Oswald days later. WTF? I was a little kid back in 1963 and when I saw Ruby kill Oswald I felt it was "fishy" then. Lastly, Gregory offers a psychological profile of Oswald (we need to take his word at face value?) because he drove them around several times over a few months. This is a joke. Case Closed.

Is it true that the bullets that were pulled out of tippet's body were from an automatic weapon while the shells found on the ground were from a revolver? Is it also strange to empty a revolver at the scene of a crime?

Interesting insights but he’s in no position to say whether Lee was a lone gunman or not. He makes a number of factual misstatements (ie Lee’s revolver was found at arrest to be non-functional, the shell casings recovered from the scene of Tippit’s murder were .38 auto not .38 revolver, Tippit’s partner said he was a lazy officer and did not believe he would have stopped anyone, etc, etc). There are far too many inconsistencies in the official story to accept his opinion based solely on his impression of Lee’s character. One thing he gets right is that a single shot to the stomach should not have been fatal.

If Oswald did have a delusions of grandeur, but he did make those shots and kill the US President, alone, then those weren’t really delusions, were they? He was a great man, not in a good way, like Stalin so example, or Che Guevara. If so, why did he vehemently deny shooting the President if this was the case here 18:22 ? If that was the case, you’d have thought he would have been outwardly proud. Surely he wasn’t delusional enough to believe he’d get away with it, especially with the ‘patsy’ comment.

Didn't Paul Gregory say his father was a petroleum engineer? The same profession of George de Morenschild

With the 60th anniversary coming up, it's important to keep smearing Oswald. No one can place Oswald on the sixth floor of the TSBD at the time of the shooting, so all they have is character assassination. He was a loner and a loser and beat his wife. Nevermind that the highly experienced doctors at Parkland saw entry wounds in JFK's throat and right temple, proof of shots fired from the front; that a paraffin test administered to Oswald showed that he hadn't fired a rifle that day; that he was seen on the 2nd floor five minutes before and 90 seconds after the shooting. The interviewer and author both say Oswald "defected." He never defected, never gave up his US citizenship. The author says the Russians gave Oswald money to come home; not true, the US sent him $435 to come home and bring his Russian wife, unheard of at the height of the cold war. This is not the place to litigate the case, but smearing Oswald as a dysfunctional loner (he wasn't, he made friends easily, was popular with the neighborhood kids) and saying, "He had delusions of grandeur therefore he shot the President," smacks of, pardon my frankness here, CIA propaganda to deflect from their obvious involvement in this case.

Stop interrupting and let the guy finish

Interesting...the only point that is not explained is why has the US Government refused to release the balance of the investigation. It begs the question...what are they hiding?

Oswald was neither a follower or leader but a group playing into his ego would allow for him to be part of a grand scheme. Being made to be part of something BIG would be an easy sell for him.The Secret Srevice turned down help from the Texas Rangers despite knowingly being short on personnel. Open windows galore, the book depository poorly cordoned off. Oswald found on the 2nd floor eating lunch just cool as a cucumber minutes after the assassination. Many witnesses not interviewed. The powder test done to check if Oswald had fired a rifle and it came back that he had not. I believe that he was involved just not the shooter. He missed Gen. Walker sitting there like a statue! I also think the Secret Service and others did not do their best, out drunk til early morning the night before, and were passively complicit. That's why Oswald truthfully said he was a patsy.

Im confused here....This mans father is Russian, speaks Russian....Yet, Mr. Gregory didnt learn Russian from his own father ? He had to learn or schooled more from Marina ???? Something about this guy is bizaar when it comes to this....

By the time he met Oswald was already portraying a character that he was taught and charged to do by the CIA. This is exactly what the CIA wanted people to think of Oswald and to appear as a anti American and a "Lone Gunman "

glad you mentioned walker ,nobody ever does.

Nothing to say about Ruth Paine?? Nothing about Marina's KGB father??

Minsk is the Capitol of Belarus not a backwater town .

This show should have been called, "uncommon REASON". Everybody you will ever see interviewed who knew Oswald prior to his infamy describe him the same way this witness does. He was obviously quite maladjusted at a minimum. A very disturbed individual.

Snow job in the video and snow job in the comments...so obvious.. .. the old line is failing....people know too much now

From the Book Depository... the brain exploding out the back of the skull could not happen. That wound was confirmed by the attending ER Doctor. Oswald may have taken shots, but the kill shot wasn't his.

Some of this man's descriptions are a little charged. "Came in loaded with high powered books."?

Thank you Paul Gregory for sharing one more piece of an incomplete puzzle. The mystery is often more in what we imagine in place of what we don’t know. From all you shared about Oswald’s personality and he wanting significance and grandeur for himself, he would have admitted in prideful arrogance - or declare - yes he indeed is the one person who killed President Kennedy and then state the reason why for the world to hear. Still a mystery.

Oh wow... I always wondered why there wasn't much info out there about anybody that knew anything about Oswald.

There’s another interview Dr. Gregory did with Brian Lamb on C Span which goes into more detail about his impressions of the Oswalds, including one aspect of Lee’s character not mentioned here, his relationship with his mother, Marguerite. Gregory didn’t like her, to put it mildly.

The Secret Service can bad mouth the FBI but they had there own level of incompetence that forever hampered the investigation. Dallas had a competent Forensic Pathologist with the body and preparing to do a proper autopsy, as required by Texas Law. The Secret Service took the body away from him under great threat and took it back to DC. I believe it was a Navy Doctor who ended up doing a post Mortem. Not a forensic pathologist and the wounds and bullet paths did not get proper forensic examination. Just goes to show the arrogance of these federal agencies.

Oswald acted alone🫵 Live with it🫵

Wait WHAT! Mercedes Blvd is like less then 3 blocks from my grandmothers house! My mom was in the 6th grade at the time. I would run around in that neighborhood with my cousins growing up. My mother would eventually work at that Montgomery Wards. That building is spitting distance from the Oswald rental. ...and that picture with the rifle is in Fort Worth!? Who knew!! 🤯

Peter! You're so good! But how did you not ask how Marina reacted when his father told her that her husband was dead? Was she shocked? Relieved? Distraught? Neutral? It would be a fascinating window into how a relationship like that shapes the seeming prisoner of it.

How can you have Miranda rights before such a ruling ever existed?

That Oswald was taught to speak Russian is not a conspiracy theory as he would not have had time given the job that he had at El Toro to learn Russian on his own. And to be able to speak it on grammatically, would have been exactly the way they would have trained him so that it would appear that he had bought himself Russian. The ability to teach yourself a language that despair it from English would have been near impossible especially considering the workload and the things that he had to know in order to do his other jobs which was an expert in photography and and radar Electronics at the classified level. Along with his buddy in the service Roscoe white, who also happened to have been assigned to the Dallas Police Department in October or September of 1963 and he remain there several years, according to the orders that his son found in the 1980s, to make sure that people who had seen things they shouldn't were dealt with. That's a paraphrasing of the orders, but they were found by the sun I believe in about 1986 or 87. A friend of mine speaks a number of languages, Russian being one of them. I can read Cyrillic and pronounce it properly but I have no idea what I'm reading. To have an understanding of it, he didn't teach himself that by himself, in just a few short months. His ability to get from London to Finland on a night where no civilian aircraft would have flown, is a dead giveaway.

Anyone convinced Oswald did this alone or COULD have done this alone has a LOT of reading to do. No excuse. You've had nearly 60 years since Mark Lane's book came out. Get crackin'!

I think that Paul, although meaning well, has not studied the evidence sufficiently. I would like to ask him about the bullet hole passing front to back in the limo's windshield happened. How the many witnesses who saw smoke and heard a shot from the grass knoll could have possibly been mistaken. The botched autopsy...the eye witnesses of corpsmen at Bethesda Naval Hospital....the eye witnesses at Parkland that saw a huge hole in the back of the President's skull, that never appeared in the autopsy photos. The bullet that was supposed to have caused so much damage, yet is in remarkably pristine condition. The list goes on and on and on... Oswald was in the Texas School Book Depository...yet nothing really places him on the 6th floor during the shooting. The paraffin tests indicated that he had not shot a rife that day. Had it gone to court...he would have been exonerated. He was probably just a patsy...by Sparky and his ilk made sure he would never go to court. I too thought Oswald did it...but I only believed that because I was 17 years old when it happened. I am older and wiser now.

Lee Harvey Oswell was involved, no doubt. His cool dementia indicated that he had given a way out via a phone call. This phone call was denied and he became the patsy that he claimed to be. Lee was not a lone gunman but he was involved and the entire thing was pinned on him, the poor sap. He was conveniently killed before he could state his case. He had delusions of granger but he was intelligent and would have blown the lid off the whole thing if he wasn't snuffed out. The Hoover Institution is an establishment institution that wants to keep the establishment narrative alive. I like much of their stuff but this is not convincing anyone.

Thanks for both of you.

Great interview!

Incredible. Thanks for sharing Paul.

Testimony that Oswald had visited Jack ruby bar a few times and talked to ruby. Also evidence has been presented zupruder film altered when under CIA and secret service possession from 5pm November 22nd.

Very interesting, thanks for posting.

I guess she did not respond, because although she did initially absolutely believe that Oswald was responsible and acted alone in the assassination, she eventually changed her mind. Does Gregory talk about what Marina had intially said about Oswald as his father would have known all of her beliefs on this as he would have been translating her exact words on this to the authorities ?

The thing is, with all these facts being true, there is still possibility of a conspiracy. Oswald was the perfect 'patsy'.

I think this is a VERY important historical perspective. I greatly appreciate the author for sharing his experiences . I feel sorry for the fact that , through no fault of his own, he has been made to feel " tainted" by association with this moment of history. I used to firmly believe in the conspiracy theories surrounding JFK'S assassination, but over the last 20 years come to believe it was a lone gunmen, Oswald. This settles the issue for me. I'm grateful for this interview.

Paul Gregory has no evidene that Oswald was guilty or acted alone. See the book by Barry Krusch "Impossible: The Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald" which debunks the case against him in 1000 pages and has a $100,000 reward for anyone who can prove Oswald was guilty before a panel of 12 objective arbitrators.

My opinion is, I personally believe in the study and research that Jesse Ventura did. It was impossible for a shooter to fire off that many shots in the time calculated, and that the evidence clearly shows that the fatal shot came from the grassy knoll.

Outstanding interview. There it is for all the world to see. No conspiracy, no bigots, just a bum with no prospects. Thank you.

Fascinating & how smart your family was in dealing with this "Mess of the Century".

Great story. The true people in their circle that didnt speak for 60 years. What an hon e st man to open up someday. Oblious ly hes telling the truth since he was worried about safety first clue hes for real and never cashed in on his and oswalds family. Great friend to her.

What about Dulles - CIA, LeMay and LBJ ? JFK was surrounded by enemies…😢🥀

Thank you for doing this interview.

Fantastic! Thank you.

Fascinating discussion. Thank you!

Amazing, fascinating. What a world of strange circumstance.

Yes, Oswald did it. It was not franz Josef, it was franz Ferdinand who was assassinated. That was his nephew, it was in Sarajevo and in a car

A couple of things: Does simply wanting to write a book equal "delusions of grandeur?" Many people have published books written in part or in full by paid ghostwriters.

Study, as I have, the James Files interviews. If there is a flaw in his testimony, someone point out to me. Plus, why were he and two bosses at Dealey Plaza on the day?

Thanks for the video. The presentation is interesting, and I agree with everyone who has encouraged this man to give history his account of what he knew about the Oswalds. On the other hand, he really knows nothing about the details of the assassination except what is publicly available to everyone else. The lack of details is a big part of why people have questions about the assassination. Regarding how people answer polls, I think much depends on the way the questions are asked. One can have doubts about the Warren Commission work without necessarily believing that Oswald didn't act alone. I understand that criminal investigation wasn't the science in 1963 that it is today. We can't blame the people conducting the investigation at the time for not meeting all of today's standards. At the same time, we also accept that an investigation with many holes and mistakes is an investigation that could be wrong. Some of the mistakes just seem incredible. Film shot ten minutes after the assassination show regular traffic on that section of Elm Street. I understand that the motorcade was going to pass regardless. They didn't know that quickly what the situation was. However, they should have closed Elm Street once they realized that they had a major crime scene. One or two police cruisers parked at the intersection of Elm and Houston would have stopped traffic. That would have created a terrible traffic jam, but that would have kept evidence on Elm Street from being obliterated by the traffic. The plaza was never closed to look for evidence. On the next morning, a person just walking along looking at the scene found a piece of the president's skull. He took that piece of skull to the sheriff's office, and the piece was taken to Washington and confirmed to have come from the president. How many other pieces of evidence might have been lying in the grass and not found? How many may have been found by people who just picked them up, took them home, and then decided to throw them away? Luminol was developed in the thirties or forties. I'm sure most police departments weren't familiar with using Luminol, but the FBI should have understood this tool for finding blood evidence. If Dealey Plaza had been cleared and isolated, the FBI could have used Luminol to find the exact blood evidence that was on the street. Instead, that evidence was lost. According to the Warren Commission, Oswald fired three shots. One largely intact bullet was recovered although with a less than clear understanding of how it was recovered. Fragments amounting to about two-thirds of another bullet were recovered with a much clearer understanding of how those fragments came to be where they were. The third bullet disappeared completely. The Warren Commission claims that the third bullet hit the curb near the triple underpass and that a fragment of this bullet hit bystander James Tague. However, a 160 grain bullet going maybe 2,000 fps (give or take) at that point would have fragmented or caused serious fragmenting of the curb. There was no report of fragments hitting Mr. Tague's clothes or body. The curb was not taken into evidence until much later. Even with some fragmenting, the pieces of the bullet should have been in one of those tunnels and on the ground in the grass near the underpass. If investigators had found those fragments, the whole narrative would be much stronger. That no one seems to have looked is just incredible. Many of the people who were in the plaza that day were never identified and questioned by police. At that time, eyewitness testimony was considered important, but no one from the police department thought to ask people for their names and addresses as they wandered around the plaza. As a result, we have people claiming to have been there when they probably weren't. The four closest witnesses were the parents and their two small sons. They were interviewed on live TV before they were interviewed by police. I'm not saying that any of these things point to conspiracy. I don't think they point to conspiracy. I think they point to incompetence, but when there is this much incompetence, people are going to doubt the conclusions of an investigation. This gentleman spoke of Oswald running around in a state of frenzy after the assassination, but that's not true. Tests have established that Oswald could easily have gotten to the break room before Officer Baker encountered him there on entering the building. However, Baker was looking for a potential shooter, and nothing in Oswald's demeanor suggested that he was a shooter. His boss looked at him and saw nothing to suggest that he was a shooter. Granted, Oswald seemed to have an odd affect, but there was no sense of victory, fear, or anxiety that these first people to see him noticed. As Oswald left the building, a reporter encountered him at the door. The reporter asked him where to find a phone, and he directed the reporter to the phones. The reporter didn't notice anything odd about him. When Oswald took a taxi to his rooming house, the cab driver didn't notice anything odd about him. An old lady came to the cab, and Oswald was willing to give her the cab and take the next one. She insisted that Oswald keep the cab, but nothing in his demeanor suggested he was taking anxious flight to reach a bus terminal. The only person who described his behavior as guilty was a woman who had rented him a room for a week and didn't like him. She happened to be on the bus. She only reported him as acting strangely after he'd been identified as the suspect. We don't know why Officer Tippit stopped Oswald. We know that he didn't get out of the car on guard. He wasn't acting as if he were dealing with a dangerous man. If he had been wary, he wouldn't have been killed so easily. None of these things mean that Oswald didn't do it and didn't act alone, but when people try to say that his demeanor showed his guilt, they are speaking without evidence. I still think that Oswald acting alone to kill President Kennedy is a very likely explanation. On the other hand, the evidence is not as solid as many people claim. The Warren Commission didn't answer everything in a complete and convincing way. Much of the most important evidence was lost in he first hours of the aftermath when Dallas law enforcement made mistakes. I accept that maybe Oswald was part of a conspiracy or was a patsy for a conspiracy. I've written my own book trying to figure things out for myself. I haven't found a way to publish, but I have tried hard to understand what happened and how it could have happened.

Imagine being raised in Siberia and ending up in Texas, you can't win....

Trying to convince it was a lone gunmen - not impressive. Pedestrian psycho analyzing Oswald is not convincing.

Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for adding to the historical record, professor.

Great interview, I wish it was longer. I’m not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination, but the President Kennedy assassination has always been the one case in which I truly just don’t know. All the circumstantial links between all the parties involved in the crime, CIA, FBI, mob, Kennedy, Oswald, Ruby, military industrial complex, etc. is just weird. This interview makes me think that perhaps life is just stranger than fiction and Oswald really did act alone, and all these connections are just life being random… on the other hand, maybe it’s not… great interview!!

Oswald was seen by 3 different TSBD co-workers in the first floor break room at Noon that day eating his lunch and then seen again by TSBD co-worker Carolyn Arnold in the second floor lunchroom at 12:25PM drinking a Coke which is EXACTLY what Oswald told the FBI. So walk us all through how Oswald got from the 2nd floor lunch room at 12:25PM up to the 6th floor to shoot JFK at 12:30PM and then got back down to the lunchroom at 12:31PM to be seen by Officer Baker and Mgr Truly- PLEASE- walk us all through that:) Common Sense, alone, tells us that Oswald was in the 2nd floor lunch room when JFK was shot- just like Carolyn Arnold told the FBI.

There was no trial or conviction of Oswald and my question is still who actually did the shooting.

Happy for the interview, but, in reality, I did not take anything new away from this as solid evidence. I do agree with Paul Gregory that Oswald was the sole assassin and that Oswald's personality was to seek fame, that Oswald had the motive, the attempt to assassinate General Walker, and that Oswald was crafty enough to pull it off.

Nobody wants to believe that a simple, insignificant little man could change the course of history.

Oswald's "stomach wound" was not your typical gut shot. It was precisely placed where the gun was pushed into the stomach with the barrel pointing up thereby causing massive damage to many vital organs. This is a common method used in the criminal underworld.

Fascinating, I am glad he finally decided to make this story public, and I understand not wanting to earlier. I will read the book. I was a few months old when this tragedy happened, but as an adult I have read and watched almost everything out there. I am not convinced by the conspiracies, but I do believe we will never know what truly happened, which is another tragedy for our country.

Allen Dulles.

When you go to the book repository and look down on the plaza, you realize how close everything was. Especially for a rifle. Those shots did not need superhuman skills.

Never underestimate a Grudge: Lee hated Connelly because Connelly was the Sec of the Navy (only 9 months) while Lee was in the USSR. Lee wrote Connelly to reconsider that the Marines changed his discharge from Honorable to Dishonorable the Marines discovered he was in the USSR. Connelly never addresses Lee's request (letters written post marked Minsk) but instead Connelly office sent a political Vote-For-Me poster for Texas Governor. Without an Honorable discharge Lee's employment was near impossible. Lee felt betrayed. To know Lee study his Mother Margarite. (worst morher ever) So never underestimate a grudge Lee Hated Connelly and wanted him dead. JFK was collateral damage.

Gregory mentions Oswald's wife was not read her Miranda rights. The Miranda case wasn't heard until 1966 when the SCOTUS ruled people had to be given notice of their right to an attorney.

He claims that Oswald returned from Russia with an infant daughter, but I have read that his daughter wasn't born till a few days after his death.

I am sick of this too…way too many interruptions by the host. You can see & hear the guest becoming confused & frustrated as he struggles to pick up where he left off.

Paul Gregory’s noticing that he was not surprised when he recognised Oswald as the person who had been arrested, is just the kind of intuition I, and I believe many people have, a particular moments in their lives. He may be wrong, but I believe he is reporting what he experienced honestly. I’m 80 and accept that I will never know and I would say I never accepted the Warren report as anything more than intended to officially lay the matter to rest. But neither did I think that made the many alternative hypotheses right. I know I just don’t know if Oswald was a lone assassin. So I may get this book because I don’t believe or disbelieve the conspiracy theories and would value a personal account from a thoughtful and genuine witness to Oswald’s character leading up to the assassination.

great insight. I'd never heard of this guy

Fantastic

The Hoover Institution tend to leans toward the right and is more comfortable with the Republican side of the political spectrum. As such, it is unlikely that it will ever try to seriously scrutinize the alternative viewpoints coming from such persons as Mark Lane, Col. L. Fletcher Prouty , Gerald D. McKnight, Dr. David Mantik, et. al. The list is too numerous to list here. The SBT or "single bullet theory" championed by the Warren Commission essentially defies the scientific laws of physics. It is a pristine round, and some very small leaden fragments in Tex. Gov. Connally were examined. The mass and metallurgy didn't appear to match, with the remaining evidence of the fragments in his body unavailable for further examination as of 2023. This alone would help to prove or disprove the SBT in a conclusive manner. Oswald himself declared that he was a "patsy" prior to being gunned down in the police basement by Jack Ruby.

I find the most revealing account is given by Lee's mistress in her book. It certainly makes the CIA look bad, weaponizing cancer, but the pieces fit together. My sympathies and respect for this fine gentleman. I am sure his situation has been a very difficult one all these years through no fault of his own. Thank you for this revealing interview which will takes its place in history.

never heard anything about general Walker. curious as to that. I'm assuming it was simply a ballistic match after the fact.

Mr. Gregory, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on two books. The devil's chessboard by David Talbot and the rush to judgment by Mark Lane.

In my lifetime I have heard untold amount of interviews untold hours of video tapes movies it goes on and on in that mass of information interviews documentary I haven’t heard this man’s name once!

I have studied the assassination doggedly for 45 years. I started out very suspicious of conspiracy and expected that path to lead me to some credible evidence that a conspiracy was, at large, existent. I found, instead, an objective approach with a fair handed and reasonable mind, that the only, and very obvious conclusion, is that like it or not, Oswald acted alone. Forget everything else and just study this individual, and you will come to that decisive conclusion. This is a great interview and I recommend this book emphatically. Thank you Paul Gregory.

Yeah, better not get into that "sinkhole". I will not even examine the research/evidence and double down on my own "theory".

More evidence that Oswald was not in fact a "lone nut" but in actuality was a highly intelligent, well trained agent working for the ONI.

Il a finalement très très peu de choses à dire sur LHO, rien de décisif...quelques impressions d'une vague fréquentation plus d'un an avant l'assassinat de Dallas ...
