Did MJ-12 order the Assassination of JFK?
That question is asked in this article , one of a series by Michael Salla, Ph.D. Salla's thesis is based on the dubious MJ-12 documents. He also features the McCone-Rowley document, first introduced to the world by me, which he refers to as a "declassified CIA document."

There is more evidence to directly implicate Angleton in the Kennedy assassination. Lee Harvey Oswald was among a small group of American citizens to have defected to the Soviet Union in 1959. The CIA established a file on Oswald in 1960, but some authors claim that CIA counterintelligence were monitoring Oswald even earlier, and that Angleton was directly involved through an intermediary. A declassified CIA document later confirmed that Oswald was trained by the CIA in 1957 for Soviet assignments.

TBR News on the McCone-Rowley Document
The CIA Comments on the Kennedy AssassinationTBR News, associated with notorious document hoaxer Gregory Douglas, knows a good fake document when they see one. TBRs Brian Harring follows McCone-Rowley with the following document, allegedly from from the CIA’s Robert T. Crowley to James J. Angleton.
Here we have two documents that have been around, and studiously ignored by “assassination experts” for years. Some of the critics of anything that might involve the CIA in the murder are obviously paid for their views by the same CIA whereas others are of limited intellect but blessed with loud voices.

SCROLL DOWN FOR LATEST POSTS
In response to the request made by your office on 24 February 1964 re: Lee Oswald's activities and assignments on behalf of this agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation, there follows a narrative summary of the internal subversive activities of the Oswald subject.
I recommend that unless the Commission makes a specific request for specific information contained herein, that this information not be volunteered. This agency has reason to assume that some junior Commission staff members may be potential sources of leaks to the news media or to other agencies; due to the highly sensitive nature of the enclosed material, it would certainly be in the national interest to withhold it at this time -- unless there is, of course, a specific request made.
It is my understanding that Mr. Hoover has certain sensitive information within his agency, which has be transferred to his own personal files for safekeeping; he concurs that no material should be voluntarily given to the Commission which might affect the status of field operatives or their safety. He is particularly concerned about the De Bruey memorandum, which Central Intelligence has obtained and which, I understand, you have obtained. It is imperative that this information, at least for the time, remain under wraps.
Oswald subject was trained by this agency, under cover of the Office of Naval Intelligence, for Soviet assignments. During preliminary training, in 1957, subject was active in aerial reconnaissance of mainland China and maintained a security clearance up to the "confidential" level. His military records during this period are open to your agency and I have directed they be forwarded to the Commission.
Subject received additional indoctrination at our own Camp Peary site from September 8 to October 17, 1958, and participated in a few relatively minor assignments until arrangements were made for his entry into the Soviet Union in September 1959. While in the Soviet Union, he was on special assignment in the area of Minsk. It would not be advantageous at this time to divulge the specifics of that assignment; however, if you wish this information, it can be made available for your personal inspection within the confines of our own offices, or I can send it by courier on the condition that it not leave the custody of the courier. I am concerned that if this information were in any way disclosed to the wrong persons, it would lead the media to erroneously claim this agency, and perhaps others, were directly involved in the Dallas action. While the persons involved were in the employ of this agency, as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, it is virtually impossible for this or any agency to maintain full, 24-hours-a-day responsibility over its operatives.
At the time of the Dallas action, the Oswald subject was only seldom in our employ; after the Soviet assignment, we found him to be unreliable and emotionally unstable. He was of little use to us after his marriage and De Bruey, from what I understand, concurred in this. He was provided with a few unimportant infiltration assignments and proved of little or no value. It is possible that Oswald, given his instability, might have been involved in some operation involving Hoffa, as noted in SAIC Bertram's report to your agency dated 1/3/64. Mr. Hoover advises that his agency is trying to determine whether Hoffa might have been involved laterally or vertically with the Dallas assassination I have advised that I would be interested in seeing the results of that investigation.
Mr. Hoover advises that the facts given in SAIC Bertran's [ed. note: "Bertram" in first usage, Bertran" here] 1/3/64 report are basically correct. His agency has advised Deputy Sweatt against any further unauthorized statements to the news media which might adversely affect the investigation. Mr. Hoover advises he has no knowledge of how Deputy Sweatt obtained his information, as there is no record of the agency distributing any such information to Sweatt or any other member of Dallas Sheriff's office. It is regrettable that this information has come to the attention of the news media, but I am sure Mr. Hoover will be able to clarify the situation.
Speculation within this agency -- and this is only speculation at this point -- is that Oswald subject became unstable following surgery April 1, 1961, in the Minsk Hospital. He may have been chemically or electronically "controlled"... a sleeper agent. Subject spent eleven days hospitalized for a "minor ailment" which should have required no more than three days hospitalization at the most. Six days after his release, he met Marina Prusakova. This agency is particularly interested in her intelligence background and I have requested a report on same from our Soviet Embassy contact.
After his return to the U.S., Oswald worked in New Orleans through the Anti-Communist League of the Caribbean and Friends of Democratic Cuba; his case officer was SAIC Guy Bannister from the Chicago F131 office. He was transferred from his assignments there after he was arrested and fined stemming from an incident of his distribution of pamphlets for the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. While our files here show no flirther assignments or contact, I am requesting an (xx) check on the subject from our New Orleans and Ft. Worth offices.
Please direct any further communication on this matter to my personal attention so that your requests may be expedited, or feel free to call me anytime. My office is always available to you.

Researcher Anthony Marsh on McCone-Rowley

When I looked at it I knew instantly that it was a fake. How? It is not written in the proper format using the proper CIA style. One tip off is the marking "CO-2-34,030." That is actually from a Secret Service report. How would I know? Because I had obtained and used on my Web site some of the pages from that SS report, so the notation jumped out as a fabrication. What someone did was take a page from the SS report, maybe even downloaded it from my Web page, removed the original text and wrote their own. Also the wording is not how the CIA would word a document of that type at that time. They would not refer to Hoover by name or agencies by common names. Instead you would see code words like ODACID. You need to look at hundreds of thousands of genuine CIA documents as I have to develop a mental database of what genuine CIA documents look like. I have no doubt that the hoaxer really thought that something like that was said. I don't think the intent was like the other hoaxes to discredit all JFK assassination research. I think someone just assumed that he knew enough to create a realistic fake to incriminate the CIA.

New Book Features McCone-Rowley
www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/output/2005/09/20/story7560044t0.shtm
www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/output/2005/09/20/story7560044t0.shtm
20 September 2005Researcher Allen Eaglesham has obtained the book and confirmed that the document described is the McCone-Rowley memo.
A Dundee author’s new book on the assassination of John F Kennedy includes a document which may prove the CIA trained Lee Harvey Oswald.
Pat Kelly believes rogue elements in the CIA and disheartened Cubans were responsible for the killing and believes that at least four marksmen were
involved in the assassination. Mr Kelly said it has taken him many years to complete and the most interesting aspect of the book is the “Second Oswald” theory.
Included in the book is a CIA report obtained by Mr Kelly which, if authentic, proves Lee Harvey Oswald worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence and was trained by the CIA.
The author will be signing copies of his book, “Just a Patsy”, at Ottakar’s in Dundee at 5pm on Wednesday.
He said, “The Kennedy assassination goes right to the heart of the American government, and I believe it is easier to cover it up rather than face the facts and the truth of what really happened on November 22, 1963.
“It has taken many years to write and get to this stage and there’s a lot of information left out, such as whom I believed were the killers and their assistants in the conspiracy.
“I couldn’t publish their names but some were of Cuban extract.
“I believe, like many others, that President Lyndon B Johnson gained the most from the assassination.
“He controlled the investigation into Kennedy’s death. It must be said that some disaffected Cuban mercenaries played a major part in the assassination. Strangely enough, a fingerprint of Johnson’s aide, a man by the name of Mac Wallace, was found on a box on the sixth floor where officially the shots were fired at Kennedy.
“Wallace did not work in the Texas School Book Depository so how did it get there?” Mr Kelly said there have been many books written about the JFK assassination, however, most are very hard to come by in this country.
“My book is probably the most up-to-date that most people in the city will read,” he said. “No JFK researcher would claim their book is better than others — that’s not how the research community works.
“We share information and try to get it into the open to let the public see what really went on and how the US government was part of the JFK cover-up.
“Its over 40 years since the assassination of Kennedy and certain high-ranking officials still want to hide the true facts of what happened from the public.
“However, the public are not fooled by cover-ups and lies and they know that something was amiss in the Kennedy assassination.
“The public want to know the truth and the facts. Hopefully my book goes part of the way.
“I hope it helps to understand how and why the conspirators used Lee Harvey Oswald for their own political gains, and he was as he said, “Just A Patsy,” as the book title suggests.”
