- 2:45Speaker 3: the weekend just right for you. After a long, hard
- 2:47Speaker 3: day of working, it's time to sit back and relax,
- 2:49Speaker 3: unwind and listen to your boys talk about some cameras tonight.
- 2:55Speaker 3: What's up, Joe? How are you doing? Sir?
- 2:58Speaker 1: I am good, I am wrong. Refreshed after a nice
- 3:02Speaker 1: uh fsh shaven.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you look like you smell good.
- 3:08Speaker 1: I do, I do if I say so myself. Okay,
- 3:13Speaker 1: uh No, I had had a good weekend. Uh I
- 3:16Speaker 1: had a good time off last weekend, went off to
- 3:18Speaker 1: Cape Cod as some of the members will know. On Wednesday,
- 3:23Speaker 1: I went over my visit to high End Sport Museum
- 3:27Speaker 1: JFK Museum.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Yes, Hyena, Hyennas.
- 3:30Speaker 1: And uh Hianna and and it was really interesting, like
- 3:36Speaker 1: small museum but really cool. And played some golf, the
- 3:40Speaker 1: girlfriend played some tennis, and uh I was listening. You know,
- 3:44Speaker 1: I gave some memberships from the beginning of last week. Yes,
- 3:49Speaker 1: like I think I told you off air, it's interesting
- 3:52Speaker 1: tuning into your own podcast to hear what was said.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't know anything about it, you know, contrary
- 4:04Speaker 3: to popular belief, I do sometimes go back and listen
- 4:11Speaker 3: most of the time. So once once your boy is done,
- 4:14Speaker 3: I'm usually done. I always download my own podcast, of course,
- 4:20Speaker 3: because that helps, even in my minuscule a little bit,
- 4:24Speaker 3: you know, one more never hurting nobody. Uh but I
- 4:28Speaker 3: normally ended up end up just deleting them before I
- 4:30Speaker 3: even listen to them, just because you know, I was
- 4:33Speaker 3: there in my mind and I know what it was about.
- 4:35Speaker 3: But sometimes it is nice to go back and revisit
- 4:39Speaker 3: old shows and see what the hell is going on
- 4:41Speaker 3: and listen to yourself talk and it's like this is
- 4:46Speaker 3: not strange at all.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. My girlfriend always says I'm too hard
- 4:53Speaker 1: on myself on the re listen, which I probably am.
- 4:56Speaker 1: It's tough listening to yourself, it is.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I'm never really uber critical of much, just
- 5:04Speaker 3: because I've been through a lot like this is. This
- 5:09Speaker 3: is heaven compared to what things used to be like,
- 5:12Speaker 3: you know, when you used to have to do an interview,
- 5:16Speaker 3: you know, on a second phone, on Wi Fi, on
- 5:21Speaker 3: speaker and recording it into another device, and it's just insane.
- 5:28Speaker 1: In your car at some points.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you got real music going on. I
- 5:32Speaker 3: got birds chirping in the background. And you know, it's
- 5:36Speaker 3: a lot of changes through the years, and a lot
- 5:40Speaker 3: of them for the better, you know. But we're still here.

- 10:17Speaker 3: That is one thing I don't follow. Okay, I think
- 10:22Speaker 3: that's everybody so far checked in, checked in. There's thirty
- 10:27Speaker 3: five of you up in here and that's all good. Yeah,
- 10:31Speaker 3: all right, Joe. Well, we told everybody this past Wednesday
- 10:34Speaker 3: what we're gonna be talking about. And I was gonna
- 10:37Speaker 3: do this topic a couple of weeks ago and never
- 10:39Speaker 3: got around to it that the show we were doing
- 10:42Speaker 3: was just just one of those really long shows and
- 10:45Speaker 3: just didn't want to squeeze it. Didn't have time to
- 10:48Speaker 3: squeeze it in.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Yeah. I when I checked back and I was like, bro,
- 10:53Speaker 1: this guy went two plus hours. I think it was
- 10:55Speaker 1: like two eleven or maybe more without me. Damn, he
- 11:00Speaker 1: was yapping like six barbers, you.
- 11:02Speaker 3: Know, all kinds of bullets in the gun.
- 11:04Speaker 1: You know.
- 11:04Speaker 3: I was gonna do the Geno farcus thing here, but
- 11:07Speaker 3: there's really no way for you to supplement that story whatsoever.
- 11:11Speaker 3: It's such an odd ball, one off, freaking story. So
- 11:15Speaker 3: I took that, did that at Quick Hits this weekend.
- 11:18Speaker 3: H it' said. Wow, So this has been sitting here
- 11:23Speaker 3: for a while. I was gonna do uh something about
- 11:30Speaker 3: Marina quick Hits, but I say it or I saved
- 11:32Speaker 3: it for here. Maybe did it last Wednesday. I can't remember.
- 11:37Speaker 3: It's all just a blur.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Now, but quickly, and I told you this and I
- 11:41Speaker 1: told the members this. I thought it was fascinating because
- 11:44Speaker 1: I had never heard of the Campbell brothers I think
- 11:47Speaker 1: Alan Dave, who were in Oswalt's orphanage that were interviewed
- 11:52Speaker 1: by Garrison. The whole alleged Oswalt October sixty two arrests
- 11:56Speaker 1: with Selzo Fernandez Well, of course, was later revolved in
- 11:59Speaker 1: the fracas UH we touched on. I added on some
- 12:04Speaker 1: about the Oswalt New Orleans interrogation. I remembers only I
- 12:08Speaker 1: thought it was fascinating, and yeah.
- 12:13Speaker 3: You don't want him Lee, tell him.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Button come on with Yes, helps us defeat the algo Yes, Yes,
- 12:21Speaker 1: fire show man for sure.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Now I forgot all about that, Sally, thank you for
- 12:27Speaker 3: being the emailers. We get on that show. I'll tell
- 12:38Speaker 3: you what. Okay, So tonight is a subject that I
- 12:44Speaker 3: really never thought a lot about. Of course, known about
- 12:47Speaker 3: it for a long time, uh, because of all the
- 12:51Speaker 3: lookings into uh the Beckley address and of course the
- 12:55Speaker 3: Pains garage and all of Oswalt's ship. It was in
- 12:59Speaker 3: both plays, right, so I wanted to and I apologize
- 13:08Speaker 3: if I throw the wrong pictures up here. Okay, this
- 13:14Speaker 3: is a picture put together by the Dallas Police Department
- 13:19Speaker 3: of all the crap that Lee Harvey Oswald had at Beckley. Okay,
- 13:27Speaker 3: now there is no official well, I mean there is
- 13:33Speaker 3: an inventory list, but there is no officially no cameras
- 13:37Speaker 3: on the list, although there are some items here that
- 13:40Speaker 3: look like they could be camera cases, you know, not
- 13:47Speaker 3: one hundred percent sure. And the list, now, this is
- 13:54Speaker 3: from Beckley. This is a list of the inventory stuff,
- 13:57Speaker 3: like I said, taken from Beckley. And this is they
- 14:00Speaker 3: did eleven twenty three sixty three after they got the
- 14:02Speaker 3: search warrant, and they went back and they took a
- 14:06Speaker 3: whole bunch of stuff. So they got three pages of stuff, right,
- 14:10Speaker 3: And what was interesting to me is down here to
- 14:16Speaker 3: the bottom second or actually a pair with a brown
- 14:26Speaker 3: imitation alligator leather case. Okay, so he had a pair
- 14:32Speaker 3: of binoculars at Beckley, and he had two pairs of binoculars, actually, no,
- 14:40Speaker 3: three pairs of binoculars and Ruth Payne's garage, so dude
- 14:45Speaker 3: had four pairs of binoculars. Now, the reason I bring
- 14:50Speaker 3: this up is because, of course they're kind of on
- 14:56Speaker 3: the same level as camera you know, they're optics. There
- 14:59Speaker 3: are you know, something used to surveil or spy on
- 15:05Speaker 3: someone with or you know, look through somebody's window. I
- 15:10Speaker 3: don't know, you know, you know, maybe to see see
- 15:15Speaker 3: if General Walker is sitting in his window. I don't know.
- 15:20Speaker 3: But so I'm looking through this and I'm looking over it,
- 15:22Speaker 3: and I'm reading through this stuff, and I see at
- 15:26Speaker 3: the very very bottom that special agent Warren Debries that's
- 15:36Speaker 3: from the FBI was personally there overseeing this DPD executed
- 15:47Speaker 3: search warrant at Beckley. Yes, of course, Warren Debrize was
- 15:55Speaker 3: allegedly Oswald's handler in New Orleans. Who wants Lee Harvey
- 16:00Speaker 3: is captured in Dallas. They hurry up and they send
- 16:08Speaker 3: Warren debriz to Dallas relatively quickly. Now, in my mind,
- 16:16Speaker 3: there can only be one reason for this, because he
- 16:20Speaker 3: knows Lee Harvey Oswald he.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Was properly in charge of the file, or at least
- 16:26Speaker 1: in the least.
- 16:27Speaker 3: Yeah, or Oswald was one of his informants or something.
- 16:31Speaker 3: Because you know, the FBI was in every major city
- 16:35Speaker 3: across the United States. I mean, there's lots of closer
- 16:38Speaker 3: places to send agents from to help out then New Orleans.
- 16:43Speaker 3: I'm sure there was an FBI office in Houston.
- 16:47Speaker 1: And you know, we know there was one in Dallas.
- 16:50Speaker 1: We know host he was very familiar with the Oswalts, right,
- 16:54Speaker 1: So you have to wonder why send for Debris either
- 16:57Speaker 1: that Friday night or that Saturday morning. And the only
- 17:01Speaker 1: thing that comes to my mind is I don't think
- 17:05Speaker 1: he liked Hosty and maybe had a better relationship with Debris, right,
- 17:11Speaker 1: or Debris was more familiar with whatever was going on
- 17:14Speaker 1: with But that's exactly what I noticed, and I hadn't
- 17:19Speaker 1: seen that before he pulled it up, exactlying I noticed,
- 17:22Speaker 1: and I looked at the date. It said eleven twenty three.
- 17:25Speaker 1: It did not tell the time of the search, but
- 17:28Speaker 1: I'm guessing it was probably pretty early.
- 17:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure, because the same day there was
- 17:36Speaker 3: actually another search warn't executed at Ruth Paynes, like I'm
- 17:42Speaker 3: pretty sure was on the twenty second. And we'll get
- 17:49Speaker 3: into it more here in a little bit with Officer
- 17:52Speaker 3: Gus Rose and Stoveall and a damn chick and what
- 17:56Speaker 3: they were doing over at Ruth Payne's house. But they searched,
- 18:04Speaker 3: and again I don't know what the legalities are of,
- 18:08Speaker 3: you know, illegal searches in nineteen sixty three without a
- 18:11Speaker 3: search warrant. I mean they had. I mean, it's mss
- 18:14Speaker 3: Payne's house, right, three Payne's house they gave she gave
- 18:19Speaker 3: them permission to search through whatever they want to do, right,
- 18:24Speaker 3: so they didn't technically need a search one.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Yeah. Did she see something like I've been expecting you
- 18:29Speaker 1: or something?
- 18:31Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah. And Michael Payne also shows up in the
- 18:35Speaker 3: middle of them executing search warrant on or not execuing
- 18:39Speaker 3: search one. He shows up on the twenty second as well,
- 18:42Speaker 3: and they're searching the garage. Then I just don't think.
- 18:48Speaker 3: I mean, they did catalog and take some things Friday,
- 18:51Speaker 3: but they also went back Saturday and got more stuff.
- 18:54Speaker 1: They didn't have the warrant until Saturday, maybe.
- 18:56Speaker 3: Right, They didn't have a search war until Saturday yet,
- 19:00Speaker 3: But they did take some stuff, not just not a lot.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Now, see if this is the right picture. If it's not, no,
- 19:12Speaker 3: that's not it. We'll get to that in a minute.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Okay. By the way, Scott says he doesn't seem like
- 19:18Speaker 1: a flip flops kind of guy, and that is referring
- 19:21Speaker 1: to that picture you just showed at Beckley. That yeah,
- 19:25Speaker 1: that white sandals that I looked at and I was like,
- 19:27Speaker 1: is that a man sandals in the sixties? And I
- 19:30Speaker 1: just had to do a double take, but I noticed
- 19:32Speaker 1: the same thing. So yeah, I'm not sure. He doesn't
- 19:37Speaker 1: seem like a flip pop flops type of guy at all.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Oswald not at all.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Neither does Joe.
- 19:45Speaker 1: Oh, you you will be wrong there, sir.
- 19:47Speaker 3: Oh you're a flip flap guy. Yes, it was flat,
- 19:53Speaker 3: flament flat.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Not the flop guy. But I go outside, I walk,
- 19:56Speaker 1: rud we have my flip flops long, yeah, so not
- 20:00Speaker 1: the not like those though.
- 20:02Speaker 3: All right, So this is a picture of all the
- 20:10Speaker 3: crap that they pulled out of Ruth Payne's garage. Mm hm.
- 20:16Speaker 3: And as you can see here, there is quite in
- 20:19Speaker 3: the in the bottom right corner, the bottom right corner
- 20:23Speaker 3: here we got two pairs of uh I call them
- 20:26Speaker 3: spy binoculars. They're very compact, they're foldable. I believe they
- 20:33Speaker 3: were ten ten or twenty five times. Uh you know
- 20:38Speaker 3: what they would magnify. But anyway, so you have two
- 20:42Speaker 3: pairs of binoculars.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Which so far total right with the one exactly.
- 20:52Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's one there's one pair of larger binoculars
- 20:59Speaker 3: that I could not find. Pictured anywhere but that it
- 21:02Speaker 3: is listed in the in here, and it might be
- 21:06Speaker 3: in this, it might be in this big ass case
- 21:09Speaker 3: over here on the left, I don't know, underneath my microphone,
- 21:14Speaker 3: I don't know. But h to the left of the binoculars.
- 21:21Speaker 3: You'll see. Let me see if I can blow this
- 21:25Speaker 3: up a little bit. I'm not kin, but that is
- 21:29Speaker 3: the Minox light meter right there to the left of
- 21:32Speaker 3: the binoculars. There at the bottom right corner, that is
- 21:37Speaker 3: a Minnox light meter.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Bottom right corner of the sign, if you will, the
- 21:42Speaker 1: hand write.
- 21:44Speaker 3: So this is what they tried to say that Lee
- 21:48Speaker 3: Harvey Oswald had. Oh no, it wasn't a Minox camera.
- 21:50Speaker 3: It was just a light meter. But uh, we'll get
- 21:59Speaker 3: into that here in a minute because it gets confusing.
- 22:03Speaker 3: So here is what, real quick, what a light meter
- 22:07Speaker 3: on the left is and the actual camera is on
- 22:10Speaker 3: the right. There is a somewhat size differential. The light
- 22:15Speaker 3: meter is very small. I mean the camera is very
- 22:19Speaker 3: small as well, but the light meter is even smaller. Okay,
- 22:25Speaker 3: so that is both of those. So now back to
- 22:29Speaker 3: this mess here. So if you go to the sign
- 22:33Speaker 3: right in the middle and you go straight up from
- 22:37Speaker 3: the sign, you'll see these little wits.
- 22:39Speaker 1: By the way, it reads voluntarily given Dallas pd by
- 22:44Speaker 1: Ruth Payne plus missus Oswalt Pain's Residents, Irving, Texas eleven
- 22:49Speaker 1: sixty three.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Yes, so you'll see these little black cards that has
- 22:53Speaker 3: Michael Payne's name on them and Ruth Paine. Well, right
- 22:57Speaker 3: to the immediate left of those, there's another black leather
- 23:01Speaker 3: case that is that is cracked in the middle much
- 23:05Speaker 3: like the light meter is cracked in the middle, much
- 23:07Speaker 3: like a flip has like a flip top, like much
- 23:09Speaker 3: like a Zippo lighter. Well, that's the that is a
- 23:13Speaker 3: Minox camera case because if you zoom in on it,
- 23:18Speaker 3: the Minox camera itself has a cord on the back
- 23:25Speaker 3: side of it, and it actually fishes through the end
- 23:32Speaker 3: of the leather case right it. You know, if you
- 23:36Speaker 3: can fit it all in there, if you want to
- 23:37Speaker 3: leave it in the case, because technically you kind of
- 23:40Speaker 3: peel the case back and take a picture, so you
- 23:43Speaker 3: didn't have to take the entire case off the camera
- 23:45Speaker 3: to take a picture. You see what I'm saying. Ye,
- 23:49Speaker 3: And some people say that that the the little wire
- 23:53Speaker 3: on the end of it helped you figure out the
- 23:57Speaker 3: perfect distance from the object that you want to take
- 23:59Speaker 3: a picture of, right, So that is the case, and
- 24:07Speaker 3: from the blow up here that we're going to show
- 24:10Speaker 3: you here in a second, you can tell the case
- 24:11Speaker 3: is empty, okay, which a lot of people have a
- 24:15Speaker 3: problem with now. Also found with the Minox camera and
- 24:21Speaker 3: other things is a pedometer, which, yeah, which counts your steps. Okay. Now,
- 24:35Speaker 3: back then that was used to determine the amount of
- 24:37Speaker 3: feet you were away from a quote target, if you will.
- 24:44Speaker 1: So he wasn't worried about getting this ten thousand steps
- 24:47Speaker 1: in the day.
- 24:47Speaker 3: No, No, he was switching around just fine, Joe, without
- 24:53Speaker 3: a pedometer, but he had one. He also had a
- 25:01Speaker 3: camera in the top. I believe that that's it up
- 25:03Speaker 3: in the top left corner that he got while he
- 25:07Speaker 3: was in Russia. A little bit of picture of that
- 25:11Speaker 3: one is here. It was called the Smyrna too, Joe.
- 25:17Speaker 3: It's just like your average, you know, shitty camera back
- 25:23Speaker 3: in the early sixties, right, m hm, all right, So
- 25:29Speaker 3: back to this mess. I believe that this case at
- 25:37Speaker 3: the top is also a container for a camera.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Is that to the right of that little booklet? There
- 25:50Speaker 1: seems to be some yes, I don't know if it's
- 25:53Speaker 1: a date book or calendar journal whatever it is.
- 25:57Speaker 3: And again this case at the bottom, it could be
- 26:00Speaker 3: another camera case. I mean it could definitely be another
- 26:03Speaker 3: camera case on the bottom left. It's very hard to tell.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe possibly a case to hold one of the
- 26:11Speaker 1: four or three binoculars.
- 26:14Speaker 3: I think the thing under the case is the other binoculars. Oh,
- 26:21Speaker 3: because they were described as a larger version, and you know, yeah,
- 26:25Speaker 3: that could be them, which.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Of course, why need even one or two binoculars? Why
- 26:31Speaker 1: have four?
- 26:33Speaker 3: Right now? A lot of other stuff up here in
- 26:38Speaker 3: the top right corner you'll see is is film film
- 26:41Speaker 3: cases slides. You'll see an attachment for it's an ANSCO
- 26:49Speaker 3: flash attachment for a camera right like lighting. Yeah, and
- 26:56Speaker 3: see all these boxes, that's all slides.
- 27:00Speaker 1: It looks like admiral almost.
- 27:02Speaker 3: But like code of chrome slides. Now from there, let's
- 27:10Speaker 3: see if we can go to this ballown up picture
- 27:15Speaker 3: if I can find it. Okay, this blown up picture
- 27:23Speaker 3: of the one I just showed you of the Minox case,
- 27:29Speaker 3: you can definitely tell it's empty, right h Now, there's
- 27:35Speaker 3: been a big debate online about you know, okay, Oswald
- 27:40Speaker 3: never had a Minox camera. It was Michael Pains, right.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard this.
- 27:47Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. To me and everybody's like, well,
- 27:55Speaker 3: there's you know, the Minux cameras, it's missing from the picture. Actually, Joe,
- 28:03Speaker 3: I believe and this is just little old me, that
- 28:09Speaker 3: the camera itself, the Minox's camera is underneath the case.
- 28:16Speaker 3: Because if you look at the very end of it, right,
- 28:19Speaker 3: you can see that the case is resting on something silver. Off,
- 28:23Speaker 3: it's not on the floor, it's resting on something silver.
- 28:27Speaker 3: You see what I'm saying, Like you can see the
- 28:32Speaker 3: end of it.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see what you mean.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think the camera is under under there. Now,
- 28:46Speaker 3: I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I'm ninety nine
- 28:51Speaker 3: point nine percent sure that that's the case because you
- 28:53Speaker 3: can see that little that little silver cord on the
- 28:57Speaker 3: on the floor. Yeah, right where it says Michael Pain
- 29:03Speaker 3: that is attached to the camera, right, and you fished
- 29:07Speaker 3: it through the bottom of the case. You see where
- 29:10Speaker 3: the silver button is on the bottom of the case.
- 29:15Speaker 3: You could feed this silver wire through the bottom when
- 29:18Speaker 3: the camera was in the case, But when it's taken
- 29:21Speaker 3: out of the case, you know, I don't know, that's
- 29:28Speaker 3: just me. I may have solved the mystery. I don't know,
- 29:32Speaker 3: But anyway, I wanted to point out something while we're here.
- 29:36Speaker 3: These little photographic negative templates that Oswald may was making
- 29:42Speaker 3: for people for whatever reason, I don't know. But the
- 29:47Speaker 3: one that says Michael Pain Irving, Texas, the one underneath
- 29:51Speaker 3: of it says Ruth Pain. I'm sure it says h
- 29:56Speaker 3: Irving texts on the bottom of it. It's a very
- 30:03Speaker 3: weird thing he was doing. Joe, check this out. So
- 30:08Speaker 3: this is a bunch of other photographic negative stuff that
- 30:11Speaker 3: they took out of the garage. And on the left
- 30:15Speaker 3: top left you can see where he made one it
- 30:17Speaker 3: says Lee and Marina Oswald. And then when underneath that
- 30:20Speaker 3: it says George de Mornshield. And then another way, hold on, hold.
- 30:25Speaker 1: On what I'm just looking for the George Marshall right
- 30:29Speaker 1: under the lean okay.
- 30:31Speaker 3: Yeah, And then right under that there's another one for
- 30:33Speaker 3: George de Moren Shield.
- 30:35Speaker 1: I just large it. I see it. I'm sorry, yes,
- 30:38Speaker 1: And then right.
- 30:38Speaker 3: There's another one under that one for Lee and Marina Oswald. Yeah,
- 30:43Speaker 3: they made one for the Russian Hammer and sickle right.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Looks to George Morrinshield.
- 30:52Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know what he was doing. I mean,
- 30:55Speaker 3: he's definitely doing some photographic work, you know what I mean.
- 31:00Speaker 1: If you look at the top, right, Rob, you'll see
- 31:01Speaker 1: the marine logo right, the United States Marine Corps. Right
- 31:05Speaker 1: that obviously that that famous logo of the Marines. I'm
- 31:09Speaker 1: just looking in the middle three one two four West
- 31:13Speaker 1: Fifth Street, Fort Worth, Texas? Is that where he moved
- 31:17Speaker 1: in sixty two when he came back and lived right
- 31:19Speaker 1: in Fort Worth?
- 31:21Speaker 3: No, that's a combination of the address and irving of
- 31:23Speaker 3: Reef Payne's house, and instead of having it Irving, it's
- 31:26Speaker 3: fort Worth. Right.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I'm.
- 31:33Speaker 3: Pretty sure Brief Paine lived it. Whatever you said, fifth
- 31:36Speaker 3: Street in Irving, not Fort Worth.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah.
- 31:40Speaker 3: To me, this is this is like way way early
- 31:45Speaker 3: photoshopping things.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Very yeah. Uh And why the hell on the bottom
- 31:51Speaker 1: does he have a office a recorder of births, marriages
- 31:56Speaker 1: and deaths, Almost like he's trying to like get a
- 32:00Speaker 1: certificate or something, print one or something.
- 32:03Speaker 3: Yeah. I wish we had the rest of this negative
- 32:07Speaker 3: to see what it. Well, it is, but that's where
- 32:09Speaker 3: they cut the photo off at Wow, them bastards. So
- 32:15Speaker 3: you have all this interesting stuff. Man found in Lee
- 32:21Speaker 3: Harvey Oswald's possessions. Now not pictured outright in the mess,
- 32:28Speaker 3: but probably in one of the cases was another camera.
- 32:33Speaker 3: This was known as the Stereo Realist. And this is
- 32:38Speaker 3: one that may have been in one of the cases
- 32:40Speaker 3: at the bottom. And it's a small, relatively small camera
- 32:47Speaker 3: as you know, as far as it's not being big
- 32:51Speaker 3: and bulky and having you know, it was way ahead
- 32:54Speaker 3: of his time as far as being you know, the
- 32:58Speaker 3: lens style. Yeah, because i mean, look at the lens
- 33:03Speaker 3: layout on my phone.
- 33:05Speaker 1: It's true.
- 33:06Speaker 3: Yeah, you have three and then back to this one.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Yeah, and Rob looking at this real quickly reminded me
- 33:15Speaker 1: of what you said in the initial Beckley photograph about
- 33:19Speaker 1: the brown alligator. I'm guessing alligator skin case, right, Yeah,
- 33:27Speaker 1: that looks like an alligator's skin camera.
- 33:30Speaker 3: Just looking at the left and the right, the brown Yeah,
- 33:33Speaker 3: with a like a little leather strap. Yeah, just something
- 33:38Speaker 3: to me. I have no idea. Yeah, and I'm pretty
- 33:40Speaker 3: sure like that flip up thing in the front was
- 33:42Speaker 3: like a lens protector. You could flip it up and
- 33:44Speaker 3: then flip it down. Shutter almost No, No, the shutter
- 33:48Speaker 3: buttons at the top. But if you flip that thing
- 33:51Speaker 3: up and down and it would protect your lenses, right,
- 33:54Speaker 3: you see what I'm saying. Some Now, this one, this
- 34:00Speaker 3: is an interesting one because it wasn't found with any
- 34:04Speaker 3: of Oswald's possessions. This was the Imperial Reflex camera, a
- 34:14Speaker 3: box tight camera when you would hold it your chest
- 34:17Speaker 3: level and look down into the viewfinder to snap a picture. Now, supposedly,
- 34:24Speaker 3: supposedly Oswald bought this camera before he joined the Marine Corps,
- 34:32Speaker 3: and he gave it to Robert before he left for
- 34:34Speaker 3: the Marine Corps, I guess to hold on to for him.
- 34:39Speaker 3: And you know, he went into the Marine Corps, then
- 34:44Speaker 3: he went to Russia and then allegedly at some point
- 34:50Speaker 3: Marina took the backyard photos with it. The problem with that,
- 34:55Speaker 3: and there was a whole lot of problems with that,
- 35:00Speaker 3: that Robert Oswald still had this camera after the assassination.
- 35:05Speaker 3: So I don't know when exactly he would have given
- 35:12Speaker 3: it back to Oswald to take the backyard photos. And
- 35:15Speaker 3: then why would why would Oswald give his brother back
- 35:21Speaker 3: the camera. I think I read somewhere he allegedly gave
- 35:24Speaker 3: it back to him to give to one of his nieces.
- 35:28Speaker 3: M but I don't know. Yeah, I mean it is
- 35:32Speaker 3: an old style, shitty camera, right, but so very interesting
- 35:39Speaker 3: stuff there with all of this hullabaloo going on with
- 35:44Speaker 3: all these different cameras. Man, yeah, for sure. And the art,
- 35:50Speaker 3: the work with the photo prints is interesting, you know,
- 35:55Speaker 3: this kind of stuff that he was allegedly doing. Yeah,
- 36:04Speaker 3: that was a close up. Okay. I also make sure
- 36:07Speaker 3: I got I got all the picks in. I got
- 36:09Speaker 3: all the picks.
- 36:12Speaker 1: Cool. Cool. I have a couple of comments star Rob
- 36:15Speaker 1: if yes, all right, let's see.
- 36:23Speaker 3: NK.
- 36:24Speaker 1: What was the manufacturer name of the binoculars and the specs?
- 36:29Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
- 36:30Speaker 3: I couldn't tell you, bro it was. They didn't break
- 36:32Speaker 3: it down like that. I don't know if the FBI
- 36:36Speaker 3: did any better, because all this ship was taken to
- 36:39Speaker 3: Washington and re inventory for a third time by the FBI. Yeah,
- 36:46Speaker 3: and the Midnox. This is when the Minox camera disappeared
- 36:49Speaker 3: off of the inventory list.
- 36:51Speaker 1: H Yeah, this this is funny. Rob Sir shot a
- 36:55Speaker 1: lot first time seeing Triple B. I think he means
- 36:58Speaker 1: on video here on YouTube. Always thought he was a brother.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Well, you know, I partially am. I am three percent
- 37:13Speaker 3: from the African country of Chad and my ancestry.
- 37:18Speaker 1: A gift from your kid, right one of your sons.
- 37:22Speaker 3: No, I came before one of my sons.
- 37:25Speaker 1: No, a gift the test.
- 37:28Speaker 3: Oh no, that was an X oh okay.
- 37:33Speaker 1: But but that is funny.
- 37:35Speaker 3: He just which is if you know what I'm saying,
- 37:41Speaker 3: he does have a.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Great podcast voice. Op to Economist, Hello, sir, search one
- 37:46Speaker 1: for the pains was for the twenty third, not the
- 37:49Speaker 1: twenty second. Not search items were specified. And yeah, I
- 37:54Speaker 1: think that's why they wrote that letter that I read
- 37:57Speaker 1: that said pains voluntary early, let us photograph this right
- 38:03Speaker 1: on the twenty second, because they know they didn't have
- 38:05Speaker 1: a search warrant and they were making up for that
- 38:08Speaker 1: by I don't know who wrote that piece of paper,
- 38:13Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. I think they were
- 38:15Speaker 1: hedging against that that they didn't have a search warrant yet.
- 38:19Speaker 1: Opto James Smith, Minnox was made in Germany, NK. Hello.
- 38:29Speaker 1: Jack Ruby also had himself a Minnox camera, and David
- 38:37Speaker 1: Arbackl said, Yep, he was filmed at an outdoor concert
- 38:40Speaker 1: with his boyfriend George Senator using the Minnox. This brings
- 38:44Speaker 1: this reminds me of that. I can't picture it, but
- 38:49Speaker 1: that is three suspicious people. If you count Michael Payne
- 38:51Speaker 1: with three Minnox cameras, what are the chances?
- 38:55Speaker 3: Yeah, now, the Minnox can't. Back in the early sixties
- 39:06Speaker 3: or before we popped this up here, Joseph, real quick, sure,
- 39:13Speaker 3: all right, get that comment off there, real quick. Okay. Now,
- 39:18Speaker 3: the Midnox camera itself was approximately two hundred dollars back then,
- 39:23Speaker 3: so Joe in for inflation.
- 39:26Speaker 1: At least two grand, at least two grand.
- 39:31Speaker 3: Now here's a better picture. You can see the case,
- 39:33Speaker 3: you can see the cord, you can see the camera.
- 39:40Speaker 3: You can also see this roll of film here in
- 39:43Speaker 3: the bottom right corner. Eleven dollars for one roll of film.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Over one hundred bucks. Not cheap, especially for Oswalt, who
- 39:53Speaker 1: we know is very frugal.
- 39:55Speaker 3: Over here, for these flashballs, what's the price on that?
- 39:59Speaker 3: Fifteen dollars? One hundred fifty Wow, I mean, so you
- 40:05Speaker 3: had to have some money to have a Minox camera.
- 40:09Speaker 3: And I don't know, you know, I mean these that's
- 40:14Speaker 3: a lot of.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Money, thousands of thousands of dollars.
- 40:18Speaker 3: Now, they did sell them commercially, like you know, you
- 40:20Speaker 3: could buy one. Anybody could buy one, but they're very expensive,
- 40:28Speaker 3: very expensive.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't line up for what Oswald.
- 40:35Speaker 3: Yeah, for a roll of thirty six it's you know,
- 40:39Speaker 3: eleven dollars one hundred and ten bucks just for film. Yeah,
- 40:45Speaker 3: God knows how much to get it developed?
- 40:51Speaker 1: Yeah, do you develop this.
- 40:52Speaker 3: Little TV teddy film?
- 40:56Speaker 1: Yeah? No, it's a lot of money.
- 41:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 41:01Speaker 1: And one last comment. I had Alpha six and six wine.
- 41:05Speaker 1: Alex Harris up here with y'all. He knows a bit
- 41:08Speaker 1: about cameras. We'll get there, I promise. I consulted him.
- 41:12Speaker 3: He's here with this inspirit mice.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Yes, we'll get there, we promise, Mike.
- 41:18Speaker 3: That's right. All right? So God, was it about eight
- 41:24Speaker 3: years ago or so? Maybe ten?
- 41:27Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 41:31Speaker 3: You shut them damn dogs up, Joe. Some friends of mine,
- 41:38Speaker 3: Trish Fleming Uh and Zach Jendro, briefly did a a
- 41:51Speaker 3: blog and they kind of looked into some of Oswald's
- 41:56Speaker 3: cameras and what he was doing. I'm gonna a little
- 42:00Speaker 3: bit from their blog. Lee. Oswald worked at a graphic
- 42:05Speaker 3: arts company based on based in Dallas. It was Jagger's
- 42:08Speaker 3: child stoveall on the surface, he seemed to have worked
- 42:11Speaker 3: on basic commercial jobs, according to owner Robert Stoveall learning
- 42:15Speaker 3: the simple photoprint process. Indeed, time cards of Oswald. Oswald's
- 42:21Speaker 3: activities at the company presented at the Warrant Commission showed
- 42:26Speaker 3: that he was working on accounts for clients such as Sears,
- 42:29Speaker 3: the Dallas Civic Opera, and the Sam Bloom Agency. Now
- 42:34Speaker 3: the sam Bloom owned a large advertising agency based in Dallas,
- 42:38Speaker 3: and coincidentally, Bloom played a large role in the planning
- 42:42Speaker 3: of activities of Kennedy's tragic visit to Dallas. Also included
- 42:48Speaker 3: within the inventory of Oswald's items were several envelopes labeled negatives,
- 42:52Speaker 3: which contained some of the type of work that Oswald
- 42:55Speaker 3: was evidently conducting at Jagger's child Stowveall. These items include
- 42:59Speaker 3: photographic print copies of documents, as well as some type
- 43:02Speaker 3: setting using various type faces, printing out the names Lee
- 43:05Speaker 3: and Marina Oswald or George de Mornshield in different fonts,
- 43:10Speaker 3: which we showed a picture of. Also, in Oswald's address
- 43:17Speaker 3: book found at the pain residence, not the one at Beckley,
- 43:21Speaker 3: is a notation for Jagger Child Stoveall and it says
- 43:26Speaker 3: typography and then it says five twenty two Browder, Rhode
- 43:34Speaker 3: Island one one and right under that's two words. Micro dots. Now,
- 43:48Speaker 3: micro dots are part of a technique used to print
- 43:50Speaker 3: text or images on a very very small area. Originally
- 43:56Speaker 3: developed as a parlor trick, micro dots became essential to
- 44:00Speaker 3: us of the spy craft trade. These tiny images could
- 44:03Speaker 3: be embedded on an envelope or postcard under seams were
- 44:07Speaker 3: hidden inside of it links or under stamps. Reading them
- 44:13Speaker 3: required special magnifying viewers, and often these two were cleverly
- 44:17Speaker 3: concealed in a cigarette or a fountain pen. Which is interesting,
- 44:22Speaker 3: So Oswald knew about micro dotting, which is reducing images
- 44:27Speaker 3: to a very very small like you know, the size
- 44:32Speaker 3: of a hit of acid.
- 44:33Speaker 1: Basically no for sure, and you think of I know,
- 44:38Speaker 1: some of the earliest spy techniques back in the Revolutionary
- 44:42Speaker 1: War was invisible ink, right when George Washington aspiring was
- 44:47Speaker 1: based off of Long Island, New York.
- 44:49Speaker 3: I know I watched National Treasure Joe, But I mean
- 44:53Speaker 3: you have to you're taking a magnifying glass and lemon
- 44:59Speaker 3: juice and heat.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Yeah, then you're enhancing it, you know, dozens or hundreds
- 45:06Speaker 1: of times to reveal a message. Right, it's a type
- 45:09Speaker 1: of spycraft, if you will.
- 45:11Speaker 3: Yeah, But to reduce an image down to the size
- 45:13Speaker 3: of a hit of acid.
- 45:15Speaker 1: You have to have the technology to do so.
- 45:17Speaker 3: Yeah. You have to know how to do that without
- 45:19Speaker 3: screwing everything all up. Yes, I'm sure it's not easy.
- 45:28Speaker 3: Also in his address book is a rough but capable,
- 45:31Speaker 3: hand drawn street map of Moscow. So we have Lee
- 45:35Speaker 3: involved with the clandestine operations of Jagger Child Stoveall. In
- 45:40Speaker 3: his testimony to the warrant commissioned, Stoveball categorically denied any
- 45:44Speaker 3: such activities by Oswald. But when Oswald's military training, his
- 45:49Speaker 3: confidential security clearance of a marine, his talents with maps
- 45:52Speaker 3: and charts are considered, the possibility cannot be completely eliminated.
- 45:57Speaker 3: And when Oswald applied for assistance at the Louisiana Labor
- 46:01Speaker 3: Department in April of sixty three, among the experiences listed
- 46:06Speaker 3: were commercial photographer, dark room man, and he stated his
- 46:12Speaker 3: skills with a photo in larger and large still modification camera,
- 46:18Speaker 3: the type of camera used at Jagger Child Stovevall Stovevall
- 46:23Speaker 3: to photograph maps, and understanding of Oswald's interest and experiences
- 46:29Speaker 3: with photography is very helpful when analyzing the photographic and
- 46:33Speaker 3: optical equipment, found that the pain residents, I would agree.
- 46:44Speaker 3: The first or I'm sorry, the Soviet camera described as
- 46:47Speaker 3: the Quatter two, it's actually called the Smyrna two is
- 46:52Speaker 3: a thirty five millimeter camera Lenz model with a bake
- 46:55Speaker 3: light plastic body, obviously purchased in the Soviet Union. The
- 47:01Speaker 3: second was a stereo realist camera that was the one
- 47:04Speaker 3: with three lenses. Boom boom boom, right, yeah. It was
- 47:08Speaker 3: a popular type of camera that could take stereo or
- 47:11Speaker 3: three dimensional photographs. This was allegedly owned by Ruth and
- 47:19Speaker 3: Michael Payne, so says Ruth later on, because they thought
- 47:27Speaker 3: that possibly this stereo realist camera was the one used
- 47:32Speaker 3: to take the backyard photographs. But Ruth stepped in and said,
- 47:36Speaker 3: oh no, no, no, no, that's uh that's Michael's camera.
- 47:42Speaker 1: The one with the three lenses.
- 47:43Speaker 3: Right. Allegedly. We'll get there, I promise. However, numerous inventories
- 47:52Speaker 3: kept by the Dallas Police lists the third camera, variously
- 47:55Speaker 3: referred to as a Monox camera or a small German
- 47:58Speaker 3: camera and black chair and black case on chain. Four
- 48:02Speaker 3: rolls of film for this camera were also recovered, So
- 48:06Speaker 3: you do the man. How much is four rolls of film?
- 48:09Speaker 3: Almost five hundred bucks? Yeah, plus there was one in it.
- 48:13Speaker 3: There's five hundred bucks.
- 48:16Speaker 1: Five grand today?
- 48:19Speaker 3: Yeh no, No, five hundred today, okay, roughly because they
- 48:27Speaker 3: were eleven dollars a roll, so today bucks come on. Yeah,
- 48:35Speaker 3: you're you're you're the you're the money man, You're the
- 48:39Speaker 3: fintech guru. M m hmm.
- 48:43Speaker 1: I'm just making sure the audience is staying up today.
- 48:55Speaker 3: It was a camera smaller than a cigar and weighing
- 48:57Speaker 3: less than a cigarette later, and it had an excellent lens,
- 49:02Speaker 3: and it was a stroke of lasting genius. Originally envisioned
- 49:05Speaker 3: as a luxury atom, the original Minox camera gained a
- 49:11Speaker 3: camera accurate photographs of documents, and its small sizement that
- 49:15Speaker 3: it can be easily concealed. Although it was available on
- 49:19Speaker 3: an open market, it was admittedly an expensive item, certainly
- 49:21Speaker 3: out of Lee Oswald's price range. So what was a
- 49:24Speaker 3: Minox camera doing in the pain residence? And does the
- 49:26Speaker 3: presence of this camera mean that Lee or Ruth Michael
- 49:29Speaker 3: Payne were potentially doing spywork? Hm? Well, here's the problem
- 49:37Speaker 3: with the Minox camera, and actually James Hosty claimed to
- 49:51Speaker 3: have used a Minox camera to photograph the physical evidence
- 49:54Speaker 3: from this case in Dallas on November the twenty fifth,
- 49:57Speaker 3: afterwards returned from the FBI Washington DC office, and before
- 50:03Speaker 3: it was returned to the Dallas Police Department. So now
- 50:07Speaker 3: you have James Hosty having a Minox camera. You can't
- 50:11Speaker 3: make this shit up. There's a whole lot of mineox
- 50:15Speaker 3: and going on. By January thirtieth, according to the FBI,
- 50:25Speaker 3: there was never a Minox camera at the paint home,
- 50:28Speaker 3: and that same day Ruth Payne stepped forward to claim
- 50:31Speaker 3: ownership of a Mineox on behalf of her husband. A
- 50:35Speaker 3: Minox camera with serial number two seven two five nine
- 50:38Speaker 3: was turned into the FBI by Michael Payne on January
- 50:40Speaker 3: thirty first, and returned to him shortly thereafter. However, according
- 50:45Speaker 3: to researcher John Armstrong, who he made a note from
- 50:48Speaker 3: Harvey and Lee and all that good stuff, another Minox
- 50:55Speaker 3: camera is still housed at the National Archives, but has
- 51:00Speaker 3: been altered to prevent its serial number from being retrieved.
- 51:05Speaker 3: Michael Michael Pain claimed his Mynox was stolen from his
- 51:09Speaker 3: home years later, so a direct comparison cannot be made. However,
- 51:14Speaker 3: research has proven these cameras more than likely two different models.
- 51:18Speaker 3: Uh now we'll get into aj Weberman here in a second.
- 51:32Speaker 3: Other items were tored from the pain home included a
- 51:34Speaker 3: Nansco camera flash assembly, which we saw in the picture
- 51:38Speaker 3: of the jumbled stuff, several negatives and rolls of films,
- 51:40Speaker 3: nine boxes of code to slide transparent slides, a booklet
- 51:45Speaker 3: with instructions on how to develop film, various lenses, filters
- 51:49Speaker 3: for the stereo realist camera, a Sears automatic tower slide projector,
- 51:56Speaker 3: two stereo towers, a pair of binoculars, a telescope, and
- 52:01Speaker 3: numerous photographs. So not only did he have all these binoculars,
- 52:06Speaker 3: he had a telescope, he had a which sounds very expensive,
- 52:11Speaker 3: a Sears automatic tower slide projector, two stereo viewers for
- 52:17Speaker 3: a lot of stuff. One important piece of evidence that
- 52:22Speaker 3: was not present during the initial sources of the property
- 52:24Speaker 3: but turned up at a later date was the Imperial
- 52:27Speaker 3: Reflex Duo Len's camera. The inexpensive gray metal body camera
- 52:31Speaker 3: was proven by the FBI expert Lindell Shaneyfeld to have
- 52:35Speaker 3: taken the infamous backyard photos which featured Lee Oswald holding
- 52:39Speaker 3: his guns seemingly the same guns used to commit his
- 52:42Speaker 3: notorious crimes. One of these photos, purportedly taken by Marina
- 52:47Speaker 3: Oswald outside their Neely Street apartment in Dallas, was featured
- 52:50Speaker 3: on the cover of Life magazine and influenced public opinion
- 52:53Speaker 3: about Oswald's guilt. Has stated the photographs and their negatives
- 52:57Speaker 3: were found at the pain residence on the twenty second,
- 52:59Speaker 3: but according to textas present, the camera that took the
- 53:02Speaker 3: pictures was nowhere to be found. Now. Of course Marina
- 53:12Speaker 3: doesn't remember. I mean she was so she was shown
- 53:15Speaker 3: all these different cameras and said, which one did you
- 53:17Speaker 3: take the backyard photo with? I can't remember. I don't know.
- 53:23Speaker 3: They had all cameras, just a camera. They all looked
- 53:25Speaker 3: the same to me, despite them all looking the same
- 53:30Speaker 3: right now, On February nineteenth, Ruth Payne related to the
- 53:43Speaker 3: FBI that Robert Oswald picked up the last remaining items
- 53:47Speaker 3: at their home after the assassination later verified to been
- 53:51Speaker 3: on December eighth. So allegedly, Robert Oswald on December eighth
- 53:56Speaker 3: swung by Ruth Paine's house to pick up the rest
- 53:58Speaker 3: of Lee Oswald's shit that apparently the cops didn't take,
- 54:04Speaker 3: and on February twenty fourth of sixty four, Robert Oswald
- 54:07Speaker 3: was contacted by investigators whereby he surrendered possession of the
- 54:11Speaker 3: Imperial reflex dual lens camera that was somehow left behind
- 54:17Speaker 3: by the DPD, the Irving Police and the FBI and
- 54:22Speaker 3: three searches they somehow missed this gigantic, shitty box camera.
- 54:31Speaker 3: He said that his brother had purchased the camera before
- 54:33Speaker 3: he went to the Marines in nineteen fifty seven, leaving
- 54:35Speaker 3: in at Fort Worth when with Robert when he left
- 54:38Speaker 3: for the Soviet Union. As quoted elsewhere, Robert oswaldele excuse
- 54:44Speaker 3: me alone, felt the items were of no evidentiary value
- 54:47Speaker 3: and held on to him. That explanation was good enough
- 54:50Speaker 3: for the FBI and the Warrant Commission, and seemingly no
- 54:53Speaker 3: investigative body was concerned that Robert undersecret service scrutiny or
- 54:57Speaker 3: was under secret service scrutiny when he retrieved the camera
- 55:00Speaker 3: from the pains, and everybody neglected to mention this potential
- 55:03Speaker 3: evidence to anyone for three months. So, yeah, I had
- 55:10Speaker 3: some good work there by, Zach and Trish from back
- 55:13Speaker 3: in the day.
- 55:15Speaker 1: Yeah, So is that how he could have got the
- 55:18Speaker 1: camera back? If Lee gave that camera to Robert when
- 55:23Speaker 1: he went overseas and then got it back, and then
- 55:27Speaker 1: Robert took it back once.
- 55:30Speaker 3: That's the thing, Joe, it's very murky.
- 55:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to get it straight.
- 55:38Speaker 3: Good luck to me, right, because it's confusing as Hill.
- 55:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 55:44Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 55:44Speaker 1: And Scott has a great point. What camera took the
- 55:48Speaker 1: Walker photos? And of course the photos behind Walker's house?
- 55:52Speaker 1: I think in that alley way and opto economists I
- 55:56Speaker 1: think might have the answer. I certainly don't. The FBI
- 55:59Speaker 1: said the Walker images had the markings of the Imperial
- 56:03Speaker 1: ref Flex camera.
- 56:06Speaker 3: Yeah, same as the backyard photos. Apparently. H now here's
- 56:18Speaker 3: the thing, Michael paines Mynox camera, if you will. It
- 56:27Speaker 3: was turned over to the FBI by Ruth later in
- 56:33Speaker 3: January or February, right, because the FBI pretty much laid
- 56:37Speaker 3: out these instructions, go find the damn Minnox camera, and
- 56:41Speaker 3: Ruth was like, huh, well, Michael has one that's out
- 56:44Speaker 3: in the garage. It's in a coffee can. Apparently he
- 56:47Speaker 3: dropped it into some seawater when they were on vacation
- 56:51Speaker 3: and he cleaned it with kerosene for.
- 56:55Speaker 1: Some reason, kerosene not rice is.
- 57:01Speaker 3: I don't know interestingly enough, Kerostene will get fingerprints off
- 57:06Speaker 3: of things. Oh interesting, yeah, and uh so Ruth Payne
- 57:16Speaker 3: turned Michael's and Minnox over to the FBI, and then
- 57:19Speaker 3: they gave it back like a week later, said okay, thanks,
- 57:22Speaker 3: mystery solved, folks. Nothing to see here, right, there's a
- 57:28Speaker 3: problem with that though. There was a problem with that though. Now,
- 57:34Speaker 3: while searching the contents of Lee Oswald's sea bag right
- 57:38Speaker 3: in the Pain's garage, that is.
- 57:42Speaker 1: The marine Duffel bag right in a sense.
- 57:46Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, detectives Gus Rose and Richard Stowball discovered
- 57:55Speaker 3: a Monox camera. Opening the camera, Rose this over that
- 58:00Speaker 3: a roll of film was inside it and recorded it
- 58:04Speaker 3: in his inventory of items taken from the painhouse. On
- 58:08Speaker 3: November twenty sixth, two days after Oswald is killed, Dallas
- 58:12Speaker 3: Police turned over the evidence of the FBI, who took
- 58:14Speaker 3: charge of the investigation. Every piece of evidence was catalog
- 58:18Speaker 3: and signed for by FBI agent Warren Debrieze. And one
- 58:24Speaker 3: of the things clearly mentioned on here is one Minox camera,
- 58:33Speaker 3: one pedometer, one compass, one handsome self timer, one lens
- 58:39Speaker 3: in a hood, one fifteen power telescope, one stereo viewer,
- 58:46Speaker 3: one pocket knife and leather container and so on and
- 58:48Speaker 3: so forth. But you get the picture. They clearly put
- 58:51Speaker 3: down there that a Minox camera was found and Warren
- 58:55Speaker 3: Debris signed for it. However, the contacted Rose and Stoveall
- 59:02Speaker 3: and informed them that there was no camera, it was
- 59:06Speaker 3: just a Minox light meter. They pressured the excuse me,
- 59:13Speaker 3: the detectives to change their inventory. Now, Gus Rose was
- 59:18Speaker 3: interviewed for the HSCA right in nineteen seventy eight, and
- 59:25Speaker 3: here's what he says. He says, quote and I quote.
- 59:30Speaker 3: We found this camera, and of course we brought it
- 59:33Speaker 3: and a whole lot of other property in as possible
- 59:36Speaker 3: evidence in the case. And while we were marking the
- 59:39Speaker 3: evidence for later identification by us to be used in evidence,
- 59:43Speaker 3: we did Stoveall and I did take a close look
- 59:47Speaker 3: at this Mineox miniature camera and it did have a
- 59:51Speaker 3: role of film in it. As time passed and after
- 59:55Speaker 3: the warrant Commission was appointed, a couple of FBI agents
- 59:58Speaker 3: made three different trips to our office talk to me
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: about this camera. They said that after they had received
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: all of the property, they found that I had made
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: a mistake and that really it wasn't a camera. It
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: was just a light meter. However, as I told them
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: at the time, I was pretty sure that I hadn't
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: made a mistake. It definitely was a camera, and I
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: definitely opened it and it definitely did have film in it. However,
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: they wanted me to change that in our property invoice,
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: to read Minnock's light meter and not read Minnox's camera.
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: We never did change it, though, and Captain Fritz instructed
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: me if I was sure I was right, not to
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: make any changes in any reports and to stay with
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: what was right. So I didn't.
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: Yeah, So right there you have it straight from the
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: horse's mouth that he was pressured by the FBI to
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: change the inventory list because Joe, if you have a
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: regular loan, not a ass and with a spy camera
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: in his possessions that he couldn't afford, you got yourself
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: a problem because then you have to explain where the
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: hell he got it right, right, So when that didn't work,
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: they flipped the narrative to, oh, it's just Michael Payne's
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: my OX camera right yet clearly right here he states
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: it's found in Oswald's sea bag, not laying in a
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: not in a coffee can, in Michael Payne's garage. So
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: I mean, it's just ridiculous. I mean, if you have
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: the ship, it's found in Oswald's possessions, unless you have
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: Oswald on one of his trips that were to the
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: pain house, sneaking around in the garage and stealing Michael
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: Paine's shit and shoving it in his sea bag, which
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: I don't see happening, right because you think Ruth was
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: there when she gave permission for them to search the garage.
- 1:02:21Speaker 3: She stood right there the whole time, and if they
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: started pulling out some of her husband shit out of
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: Oswald's sea bag, she probably would have made a big
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: old stink about it, like why is my Ansco flash
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: tower in his bag? Why is Michael's min Knox camera
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: in his bag? Oh, he was stealing shit from us.
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: Not only was he jerk, he's a thief, But you
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: never heard that come out of Ruth Payne's mouth. And
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: yet she stood there the whole time the detectives searched
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: her garage and never said a thing about any of
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: that stuff being her husbands. And not only that, but
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: Michael Payne showed up at the house in the middle
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: of them searching and you'll see here in a second.
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: He didn't knock. He just can't walk right on in,
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: like in the place. What are you doing? We're searching
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: around here for Oswald shit? Oh okay, Well, if it
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: was my house, or it had been my house and
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: some of my shits in the garage, I'm going to
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: be making sure that the police don't take it, right,
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, no, no, that's mine. You know, that's
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: not Oswald, that's my shit. Let me see what y'all
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: got here, all right, Just make sure you don't take
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: none of my stuff.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: Well maybe that's why he showed up in the first place.
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: Well that's not what he said.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: Why he showed up, right, Who knows why? But sus
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: that he showed up in the middle.
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: Of it for sure, Well he says why. But we'll
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: get there, okay. So several weeks after the assassination, the
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: FBI contacted the Dallas Police property manager HW Hill, who
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: compiled with their request and made the notation on the
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: property invoice. It is that altered copy that appears in
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: the Warren Commission exhibits. That's why you have the minox
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: camera disappearing off of the list and the Mineox light
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: meter appearing on the list that the Warren Commission has.
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: You won't find the original in the Warren Commission report,
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: the one that says Minox camera. See how that works?
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: Joe Yes Ye, Dallas Assistant District Attorney William Alexander also
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: confirmed the existence of a Minox camera found an Oswald's seabag.
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: The FBI denied the existence of a very small pocket
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: Mineox camera found among Oswald's belongings. And well, this comes
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: from Larry Sneed's book No More Silence. We picked up
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: and this, William Alexander, We picked up a Minox camera
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: that had some film in it and turned it over
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: to the FBI, despite their denials claiming it was a
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: light meaner. I examined it, and I know a camera
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: when I see one. It had film in it. We
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: had the Minox camera and that was all there was
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: to it. In those days, a Minox camera costs probably
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: around two hundred bucks. What inference can be drawn from it?
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: Who knows? Unless he has an intelligence buff, or unless
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: he was an intelligence buff and had bought it through
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: a PX. Obviously, at least a speculation about his being
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: involved in some kind of intelligence work and this is
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: coming from the Dallas assistant DA William Alexander. Yeah, okay,
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: m yeah, let's see.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: Real quickly. Rob Roberta Glass from Too True Crime Report
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: says Hi, ro.
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: Hello Roberta, and I hope you're doing well. Welcome in,
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: welcome in. Thank you for taking the time to check
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: in here. Yep.
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: And Sally also said, I'm sorry, Robert. She read that
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: a researcher she can't remember who went to look at
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: the camera. He said he could tell something was in it.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: However it was sealed shut. He definitely said it was
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: not the main my Ox and James's next comment was, yeah,
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: I think it was welded.
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: Oh what John Armstrong said? What is it? Was that
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: it had been like cemented shut or super glued shut
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: for what it's worth, and the serial number was not
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: legible on it. Now there is a very interesting education
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: for him tail that Doug had turned me on too
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: before and told me to check it out. And I
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: found the comment that, interestingly enough, the the MYNX camera
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: that Oswald had the serial number matches. It was originally
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: Dick Billings from Life magazine. It was originally his Minox camera.
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: It was given to Eddie Bayo before the Day of Pigs, right, Yeah,
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: and somehow Oswald ends up with it. Now, I don't know.
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: The providence of this just comes from Jerry Patrick Hemming
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: in his in his later days.
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: Okay, yep, Sally said it a few minutes ago. Do
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: you believe what Hemming said about the Mineox Richard Billings
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: of Life, Blakey's book and HSCA, Eddie Biot, Sally's on it.
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: You are on it, Sally. Yes, there's a lot to
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: unpack there. And we'll get into the A. J. Weberman
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: stuff here a little bit, because as you know, uh uh,
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: he actually submitted a four year request in the seventies
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: for the f NARA to develop the film that was
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: found in the Minox camera. Okay, and he published a
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: lot of these pictures in his book The Oswald Code,
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: which is where we get this one who he allegedly says,
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: is Jerry Patrick Hemming here on the right. I don't
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: know if they're this is Lee Oswald to his immediate left,
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: or if Oswald is the one they're pretending to choke.
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: And well, how many was extremely tall?
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: Yeah, and then there was this one in there which
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: is you can definitely tell, you know, it's taken overseas
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: in some kind of Asian country a beach, right, Yeah,
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: it looks like they're on the beach and then there's
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: the ocean in the background, and you got you know,
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: it's behind some kind of fence, like a barbed wire fence.
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: And I don't know what's going on here. But now
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: the problem, the problem with this allegation of it being
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: Michael Payne. See, Michael Payne was in the Army, and
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: he was also in Korea. Lee Oswald's in the Marines.
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: You have him in Japan and the Philippines, right, So
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: it's very hard to tell what's going on here. Now,
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: some people have kind of analyzed this hat that this
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: guy is wearing on the right, Yeah, on the right,
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: and it appears to be, uh, some kind of army
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: hat and not a marine hat. But I would think
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: the Marines had some kind of similar slouch cap, fatigue
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: cap like like that. You know, I don't know, it's
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: very murky. And here's another one, and I believe he
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: was saying this is himing on the right, that's Oswald
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: right beside him. I don't know. I couldn't blow it
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: enough to make I couldn't blow it up enough to
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: make out whether it looks like Oswald or not. It's
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: very indeterminable, right, but interesting. Nonetheless, so there was a
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: nineteen November twenty fifth, nineteen sixty three memo, the day
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: before the FBI officially took possession of the evidence. The
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: FBI requested a comparison of the Minox film recovered from
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: the possessions of Lee Harvey Oswald with another role of
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: Minox film designated Q five. Property Report G one one
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: one nine three, dated November twenty six shows quote two
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: roles of apparently exposed Minox film. These two roles of
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: Minox film appeared to belong to the Pains and our
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: photographs of a European vacation. The FBI did not take
- 1:11:36Speaker 3: possession of these films until eleven, twenty six sixty three. Therefore,
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: the film recovered from Oswald's possession owner before the twenty
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: fifth must be the role of film recovered from the
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: Minox camera found in Oswald's sea bag. The Mineox film
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: belonging to the Pains was found in Minox containers that
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: held two roles of film and the DPD evidence photo
- 1:11:56Speaker 3: A loose role of Minox film can be seen by
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: the case and name tis. The FBI returned to the
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: Minox case and name tags to Ruth Pain, but inexplicably
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: they were not part of the twenty sixth November transfer
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: to the FBI. I believe the FBI had taken possession
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: of these items, as well as the light meter that
- 1:12:18Speaker 3: was later substituted for our camera, before the twenty fifth
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: of November, and it is my opinion that the role
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: of film came from Oswald's camera and the film the
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: FBI lab compared to Sample Q five. January thirty, nineteen
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: sixty four, Hoover sent a memorandum to Gordon Shanklin ordering
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: an investigation into the matter of the missing Minox camera.
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: The allegedly missing Minox camera.
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: What was the date on that document?
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: January thirtieth, nineteen sixty four.
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, yeah, But yet.
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: There was film and accessories that indicated that such a
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: camera existed. The same day, Ruth Pain was attacted and
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: informed the Dallas office that her husband did own a
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: Minox camera, but it was no longer working. And according
- 1:13:06Speaker 3: to a special report done by Bardwell Odom on January
- 1:13:11Speaker 3: thirty first says he pain owns a Minox camera and
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: that camera is at his home in Erving, Texas. Several
- 1:13:18Speaker 3: years ago, he dropped his camera in salt water off
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: the coast of Cape Cod and after retrieving it, soaking
- 1:13:24Speaker 3: it in kerosene and cleaning it, it appeared to be
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: in good working condition.
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: Thereafter, rob I could have looked for it this past week.
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: Yeah. Thereafter someone bent the shutter by pulling the lens
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: out too far, and to the best of his knowledge,
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: it is not now in working condition. He stated that
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: he did have some cans of film and that some
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: of them were probably exposed, but the picture made on
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: his films or at least five years old. He stated
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: that he had a case for the camera and other accessories,
- 1:13:57Speaker 3: including a light meter. He stated that when the police
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: came to his house on November twenty second, they took
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: the entire contents of a drawer containing photographic equipment of
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: his with the exception of the camera. He stated that
- 1:14:15Speaker 3: his camera was in his garage at that time and
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: that although he mentioned the camera to the police, they
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: did not seem interested in this. He stated that he
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: is sure Lee Harvey Oswald never used this camera, and
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: he is of the opinion that it is not in
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: working condition at the present time. Mister Paine stated that
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: he had no knowledge of a no admittance sign which
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: was picked up by the police at his residence. He
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: stated this sign is not his and he had never
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: seen it before. A Minox three camera serial number two
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: seven two five nine was turned over to the FBI
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: on January thirty first, nineteen sixty four, and given the
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: designation of D eighty. This would be Michael Pain's. The
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: inventory shows that the camera was acquired from Ruth Paine. However,
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: Pain later stated she's not ever recalled giving the camera
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: to the FBI. Another FBI document, also dated January thirty first,
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: shows that the camera was given to the FBI by
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: Michael Pain and not Root Paint. So what happened to
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: the paying Minox Well. According to Michael Paine, the camera
- 1:15:17Speaker 3: was returned to him shortly after the assassination and eventually
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: stolen along with his other photographic equipment about five years
- 1:15:25Speaker 3: after the assassination.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: Allegedly, yeah, man, this this screams to me in January
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: of sixty four, as like tying up loose ends in
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: this department.
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: Almost Yeah, now Marina, we'll get to Marina's HSCA testimony.
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: She appeared before the House Select Committee and she was
- 1:15:52Speaker 3: shown two Minox cameras and asked if she had seen
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: either one before. One of the cameras, which is a
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: Model three with no serial number, came from the National Archives.
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: The other Mineox, described as a Model one, had a
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: serial number two three S two three three nine three
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: oh three. This says the exhibit here, which has identified
- 1:16:18Speaker 3: as FBI Exhibit D eighty, which we now know was
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: Michael Payne's Mineox. Uh thises, is look familiar to you?
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: She says no. And this camera here, this Minox one,
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: with the serial number S two two S two three
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: three nine three oh three, does this look familiar to you?
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: No?
- 1:16:41Speaker 3: Did you ever see any of the cameras before you
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: in the possession of Lee, I do not recall now
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: a lot of the camera we used to have. The
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: camera could be here, but I would not recognize it.
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: That though, you just don't remember.
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: The picture of she allegedly took and nearly eat the
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: camera you used allegedly in Russia. You don't have any idea.
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: If I show you this camera which the commission in
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: exhibits seven point fifty. Now this is the Imperial Reflex
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: that took the backyard photos allegedly, and raise the top
- 1:17:20Speaker 3: part so you can see that there's a viewfinder, and
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: ask you to just look at the camera. Will that
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: refresh your recollection that this was the camera that you
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: allegedly took the photographs of lead with. Well, I honestly
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: do not remember if I look straight at an object
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: or look down at if you finder.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: Wait, rob are they asking her to look through the
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: lens and ask if it refreshes from memory?
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: Okay, got it.
- 1:17:43Speaker 3: You know, look at the camera right.
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: Look into it like physically right? Right?
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: Okay, so they say, but seeing the camera today, you
- 1:17:52Speaker 3: still have no memory of what the camera looked like. No,
- 1:17:56Speaker 3: I am sorry, I am unprofessional about the camera. Whatever
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: your memory is, that is what we want to find out.
- 1:18:04Speaker 3: I definitely, or she says, I definitely never saw that before.
- 1:18:10Speaker 3: What are you referring to? Marina says, these two little ones.
- 1:18:16Speaker 3: The record should note that she is referring to the
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: Minox camera which is D eighty and the other Minox
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: camera identified as Minox one. And by that I mean
- 1:18:26Speaker 3: in my possession or leaves possession. You never saw a
- 1:18:29Speaker 3: camera like that, and Marina says no. After a break,
- 1:18:37Speaker 3: they go back a mister Wolf returns to the subject
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: of the two Minox cameras. Back on the record, we
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: are going to take a lunch break. The current time
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: is approximately twelve forty I would also like to state
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: on the record that regarding the cameras that missus Porter,
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: because the amined previously concerning the two Minox cameras, there
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: is no confusion on the record. The Mineox, which was
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: not part of the material in the National Art Chives
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: and has serial number two three three nine three oh three,
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: is approximately one and a half inches longer than the
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: one which is currently in the National Archives. At this time,
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: we would take a break for lunch.
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:19:14Speaker 3: So the Mineox three was referred to as Exhibit D eighty,
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: which was the designation given to Michael Pain's Minox, but
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: supposedly D eighty had been returned to Pain and by
- 1:19:29Speaker 3: this time had been stolen according to Michael Payne by
- 1:19:31Speaker 3: the time of the HSCA.
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he said five years after right.
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: Definitely, it was a burglary. Somebody broke into his house
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: and took all of his camera equipment, including the Mineox,
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: which was returned to him a week later after it
- 1:19:45Speaker 3: was either turned over to them by Michael or Ruth.
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: Different reports, they different things. So how could this be?
- 1:19:58Speaker 3: Could it be that the Oswald Monox had became D
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: eighty once the Pain mineox had been released from evidence?
- 1:20:04Speaker 3: That's certainly what it sounds like to me, Joe, Yeah,
- 1:20:07Speaker 3: very possibly, or else, how in the hell wouldnar have it?
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean unless they got back the stolen one
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: from Pain somehow, right, I don't know.
- 1:20:23Speaker 3: Yeah, either way, one thing for sure, there is a
- 1:20:28Speaker 3: Mineox three in the archive today, and according to Michael Payne,
- 1:20:31Speaker 3: he was returned his mineox and it was stolen approximately
- 1:20:37Speaker 3: five years later.
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: Also he got that mineox back after we're stolen.
- 1:20:43Speaker 3: After five Yeah.
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: No, okay, I thought this was pretty said, I'm sorry.
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: No, After Ruth or him allegedly gave it to the
- 1:20:52Speaker 3: FBI in January of nineteen sixty four, he was returned
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: back to them like a week later, and then pains
- 1:20:59Speaker 3: those five years after that it was stolen it along
- 1:21:01Speaker 3: with a bunch of other shit, right.
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: It would have been the beginning of nineteen sixty nine ish.
- 1:21:07Speaker 3: Yeah, Hence why the one in Nara could not be
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: Michael Pain's unless they broke into his house and stole.
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: That's what I was saying. Did the subhow acquire the stolen.
- 1:21:19Speaker 3: Which I doubt?
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: Yes?
- 1:21:23Speaker 3: Uh, all right, let the craziness ensue.
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: This is like the wallats Man.
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: Yeah, So here's the story. In February of nineteen ninety
- 1:21:36Speaker 3: nine John Armstrong. I asked John if he could determine
- 1:21:41Speaker 3: what model Monox is in the Archives, because he had
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: actually seen it and handled it with his own two
- 1:21:47Speaker 3: eyes and his own two hands, And after consulting one
- 1:21:51Speaker 3: of his photographs of the Archives camera, he informed me
- 1:21:54Speaker 3: that it was, in fact a Model three. The camera
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: was housed in an animal box and was identified as
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: d L three, not D eighty. He then told me
- 1:22:10Speaker 3: that when he handled the camera, it was far heavier
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: than a Monox should be. When he tried to look
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: inside the camera to check its serial number, he found
- 1:22:18Speaker 3: that it had been filled with some substance that prohibited
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: its being fully opened. Perhaps this explains why mister Wolf
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: did not state the serial number of the Monox three
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: when he showed it to Marino. Interesting. So this sounds
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: a lot to me like Joe. They had this Minox
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: camera from Oswald, right, they pulled the film out of it,
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: the serial numbers inside the camera, but they like super
- 1:22:49Speaker 3: glued damn thing shut or filled it with something like
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: a cement type thing is what Armstrong referred to it as.
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: So they couldn't tell the difference based on the serial number.
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: Yeah, so nobody could check the serial number to tell
- 1:23:04Speaker 3: whose it was, right, got it interesting? Yes? Since the
- 1:23:12Speaker 3: serial number is located inside the Mineox where the film
- 1:23:15Speaker 3: is loaded, the FBI had to open the camera to
- 1:23:18Speaker 3: determine that Pains Monox was number two seven two five nine.
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: Excuse me, and we know the detective Rose opened the Monox,
- 1:23:26Speaker 3: he discovered an Oswald's seabag, but it had a roll
- 1:23:28Speaker 3: of film inside, so he could not see the serial
- 1:23:32Speaker 3: number at the time, which makes sense. That seems to
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: indicate that the camera and the archives had been sealed
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: shut after the film had been removed and taken into evidence. However,
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: a check of the Minox serial number showed the camera
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: two seven two five nine should be a Model two
- 1:23:49Speaker 3: Minox and not a Model three that the FBI claimed
- 1:23:53Speaker 3: they'd received from the Pains Model two. Serial numbers ranged
- 1:23:57Speaker 3: from two zero, three seven nine to three one five
- 1:24:00Speaker 3: zero zero, while Model three serial numbers started with three
- 1:24:04Speaker 3: one two seventy five and ended with five eight four
- 1:24:06Speaker 3: nine nine. The Model III, first manufactured in nineteen forty eight,
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: was never officially imported or sold in the United States
- 1:24:16Speaker 3: to the public. Ever.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: Wow, there was no Amazon back then. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: you cannot order the sunlight.
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: Bardwell Odems one three one sixty four report states that
- 1:24:33Speaker 3: painesmin Ox was not working at the time because quote
- 1:24:36Speaker 3: someone bent the shutter by pulling the lens out too far,
- 1:24:40Speaker 3: and to the best of his knowledge, it is not
- 1:24:42Speaker 3: now in working condition. What is interesting about this description
- 1:24:45Speaker 3: of the damage is that the lens cannot be pulled
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: out since it is contained within the camera, but the
- 1:24:52Speaker 3: rear element of the lens does move back and forth
- 1:24:55Speaker 3: inside the film chamber as the film is advanced and
- 1:24:58Speaker 3: the shutter is cocked. A technical note here, the rear
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: element of the lens actually presses up against the film
- 1:25:05Speaker 3: as the photo is taken, and when you advance the
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: film by pulling the camera apart, the lens moves away
- 1:25:12Speaker 3: from the film to allow it to move freely. One
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: of the differences between a Minox two and a Mineox
- 1:25:17Speaker 3: three is actually the lens itself. The Model two had
- 1:25:21Speaker 3: a five element lens, which sometimes calls scratches on the
- 1:25:24Speaker 3: film because it extended a fraction too deep into the
- 1:25:28Speaker 3: film chamber. Minosra had replaced the lens on the Model
- 1:25:32Speaker 3: three with a four element design which did not extend
- 1:25:35Speaker 3: quite as far into the film chamber, allowing the film
- 1:25:39Speaker 3: to advance freely without scratches. Could this actually be the
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: problem Michael Pain was describing to the FBI. If the
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: lens jammed in the picture taking position, it would conceivably
- 1:25:50Speaker 3: prevent the advanced mechanism from operating. This would be consistent
- 1:25:54Speaker 3: with the damaged camera apparently in the archives. But if
- 1:25:58Speaker 3: the camera in the archives is a pain camera and
- 1:26:00Speaker 3: that camera was jam shut when Michael Payne turned it
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: over to the FBI in sixty four, then the serial
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: number recorded on Odam's inventory is a fabrication. Keep in
- 1:26:09Speaker 3: mind that the model number two seven two five nine
- 1:26:12Speaker 3: traces back to a Model two and not a Model
- 1:26:14Speaker 3: three that is in the archives. Could it be that
- 1:26:19Speaker 3: number two seven two five nine was actually a Model
- 1:26:21Speaker 3: two found among Oswald's possessions by Detective Rose. Right, Joe,
- 1:26:29Speaker 3: all right, so let's get to the aj Weberman.
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: Can I read a comment or two? Sir? Sure? And
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: actually I want to thank mister Perpetual Concepts for his
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: ten dollars super tut here wallets and Minnock's.
- 1:26:49Speaker 3: Whoo hell yeah, yeah, thank you sir, coming through?
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, And Sally said a little bit ago,
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: Doug was talking about an FBI document last year on
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: Quick Hits and didn't know how or didn't know what
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: Q five was in the dock, and it led me
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: down the path to the Midnock's camera.
- 1:27:14Speaker 3: HM slacker.
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: Dan said, howdy dudes, hello Dan, how are you James?
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: The whole Midnock camera thing is a real farcas and uh,
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: sir shot the lot had to go to work, but
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: loves the show and it's going to catch the last
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: half next week, but we're hoping probably later tonight.
- 1:27:44Speaker 3: So yeah, you're going to wait till next week, bro,
- 1:27:47Speaker 3: Yeah you can catch it tomorrow.
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: Yeah or during work. Okay, Uh so Weberman, what did
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: he have to say?
- 1:27:59Speaker 3: According to Weberman, two roles of Minox film that were
- 1:28:02Speaker 3: taken with Michael Paines Minox camera contained photos of a
- 1:28:07Speaker 3: trip to Europe. The role that was not taken with
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: Michael Paine's camera seemed to have been photographed in either
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: Kimoi or Matt Sue photograph. Where is that fuck off?
- 1:28:18Speaker 3: I know, sorry, never heard of either one. I have
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: no idea where that is? Okay, approximately forty miles of
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: Tugi in Japan.
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: It has to be in Eastern Asia or Pacific or somewhere.
- 1:28:39Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:28:41Speaker 3: The photographs depicted several marines horsing around on a large
- 1:28:44Speaker 3: military vessel, shot of a tanker and LST Dash eight
- 1:28:50Speaker 3: four or five p whatever that is, shots of an
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: island from offshore, shots entering at harbor, Asian young Asian
- 1:28:58Speaker 3: children walking past a heavily fortified military base, a Chinese
- 1:29:03Speaker 3: funeral passing the perimeter of the base, and a photo
- 1:29:07Speaker 3: of Oswald with an M sixteen. Now, obviously, a picture
- 1:29:14Speaker 3: of Oswald with an M sixteen rifle is not going
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: to be found on Michael Pain's minox film.
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, look look at this our fucking chot.
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: I love them.
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: Opto Economist Islands off of China, MK, Taiwan Islands, James
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: Smith Two Islands north of Taiwan.
- 1:29:38Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you killing it, killing it.
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: We love our chat for sure, Thank you guys.
- 1:29:48Speaker 3: Now, of course Weberman alleged, you know, Jerry Hemming was
- 1:29:52Speaker 3: in some of these Minox photos, And what Jerry Hemming
- 1:29:57Speaker 3: said about it is that in January nineteen ninety nine,
- 1:30:00Speaker 3: I received photo copies of the Mineox photos from the
- 1:30:02Speaker 3: National Archives. Each sheet of paper had one photo on
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: it except for one page. The main photo on that
- 1:30:08Speaker 3: page appears to be one of the offshore photos that
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: Weberman described, with a couple of marines in the foreground
- 1:30:14Speaker 3: included on that page with two additional photos showing a
- 1:30:17Speaker 3: serviceman wearing the same kind of hat as one of
- 1:30:20Speaker 3: the marines in the main photo. Immediately it struck me
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: that the serviceman bore a resemblance to Jerry Patrick Heming.
- 1:30:28Speaker 3: The notion that Oswald might have taken photos of Hemming
- 1:30:31Speaker 3: with his Mineox while still overseas bore serious implications. After
- 1:30:35Speaker 3: posting the photos on the JFK research forum, I heard
- 1:30:38Speaker 3: from a well respected researcher who suggested I contact Himming,
- 1:30:42Speaker 3: who had learned about the photos from Nold Twyman. Now
- 1:30:46Speaker 3: that wasn't what I HEMMI said. Here was what Heming
- 1:30:48Speaker 3: said sorry.
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:30:54Speaker 3: He acknowledged that he was familiar with Mineox photos of him,
- 1:30:58Speaker 3: but that they were not taken by Oswald. He informed
- 1:31:02Speaker 3: me that Howard K. Davis had a mine Ox and
- 1:31:05Speaker 3: used it to take photos of their camps, and it
- 1:31:07Speaker 3: was Davis who took the photos in question. They were
- 1:31:11Speaker 3: not off the coast of some random fucking islands in
- 1:31:14Speaker 3: Taiwan or whatever. They were at the training camp in Florida.
- 1:31:20Speaker 3: And you know a lot of them did wear their
- 1:31:23Speaker 3: old fatigues to train in, so it may have looked
- 1:31:27Speaker 3: like a military photo, right, Yeah.
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: And I think Robie, you had a bunch of people,
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: like some former Army, some former Marines, that were like
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: joined together ideologically. So that hat that we were talking
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: about earlier, I think someone said it was a marine hat.
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: I started the comment, but I lost it. It doesn't
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: necessarily mean anything, right, because it's it's a group of
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: different people coming together.
- 1:31:54Speaker 3: Yeah, Howard David had a Monox and usually take photos
- 1:32:01Speaker 3: of their camps, and with Davis who took the photos
- 1:32:05Speaker 3: in question. And by the way, Howard K. Davis was
- 1:32:07Speaker 3: an FBI in formant. Me and Doug out of that shit,
- 1:32:11Speaker 3: A couple of years ago, even though Doug refused to
- 1:32:14Speaker 3: say it and public, I will say it all day long,
- 1:32:19Speaker 3: and yeah, he's still alive. Apparently, Heming told me that
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: the mineox camera found an Oswald's sea bag originally came
- 1:32:29Speaker 3: from Life reporter Richard Dick Billings, who later authored the
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: HSCA report and co authored Robert Blake's The Plot to
- 1:32:36Speaker 3: Kill the President. Billings, who reported on the commando raids
- 1:32:39Speaker 3: for Life magazine, gave the Mineox to Heming to photograph
- 1:32:44Speaker 3: their various missions. Heming, in turn gave the camera to
- 1:32:47Speaker 3: Eddie Bayo, who disappeared with nine commandos while on a
- 1:32:51Speaker 3: raid in a Cuba. Heming refused to speculate on how
- 1:32:55Speaker 3: that mineox got from a dead Eddie Bio to Cuba
- 1:33:01Speaker 3: to Oswald, because how can you speculate on that? I mean,
- 1:33:07Speaker 3: who the hell knows. Haman did speculate that the military
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: photos were not taken overseas, but more likely they were
- 1:33:13Speaker 3: photos taken during one of their Cuba missions. Heming did
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: claim that Oswald did possess a mine ox when he
- 1:33:19Speaker 3: was stationed at Al Toro, and then he used it
- 1:33:22Speaker 3: to take photos at the Cuban consulate in Monterey Park,
- 1:33:25Speaker 3: having said that he knows that Oswald did not take
- 1:33:28Speaker 3: that camera to Russia, but he has no idea what
- 1:33:30Speaker 3: happened to that camera. Interesting, so we've explored that.
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: James Smith said Oswalt would have had an M one
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: in the Marines Garland rifle, not in sixteen and I
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: and while I agree, you can't rule out that you
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: want to post with one for some reason.
- 1:34:12Speaker 3: Yeah, either way, it doesn't matter what gun Oswald had
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: in a picture. The fact that he's in a picture
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: developed from an undeveloped role of Monox camera film. That
- 1:34:21Speaker 3: was it Nara that allegedly belonged to Michael pain yep,
- 1:34:27Speaker 3: which cannot be if it has a picture of Oswald
- 1:34:31Speaker 3: and it had to come from one of Oswald's camera rolls.
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: Yes, and I'm sorry sorry, Scott said. Weberman has done
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: some interesting things, but he is a nut.
- 1:34:46Speaker 3: He is a nut.
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: Dylan and garbel lydgy I said that wrong, but ironically
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: I might have talked to him somewhat recently, but we
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: decided against it. Tune into members only for the details
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: on that.
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: Hm m hm, yes, yes.
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: Hey Timothy Ryan, how are you, sir?
- 1:35:14Speaker 3: Late?
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: As always, it's okay, better late than ever. And Paula Jane,
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: how are you? And uh, of course one of our superspies,
- 1:35:23Speaker 1: one of our most loyal listeners. Happy Friday, Paula. And
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: Paula was in New York. Rob. She didn't help me up,
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: she didn't hit me up.
- 1:35:36Speaker 3: Well, she didn't have she didn't have a change of clothes.
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: So I saw that. It's the worst. Yeah. Yeah, when
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: you fly and they and you, they lose your luggage,
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: there's nothing worse. So I hope they found it by now, Paula.
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: I really do, and.
- 1:35:59Speaker 3: So Earl Goles wrote an article in nineteen seventy eight
- 1:36:03Speaker 3: for the Dallas Morning News I believe it was, and
- 1:36:10Speaker 3: he tells the story of you Weberman obtaining or the
- 1:36:17Speaker 3: developed film from the Minox cameras, and he goes into
- 1:36:19Speaker 3: the problems with the Minox camera, which is very interesting.
- 1:36:23Speaker 3: Back in nineteen seventy eight, he says photographs developed from
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: Minox by camera film found among Lee Harvey Oswald's possessions
- 1:36:34Speaker 3: have been released by the FBI, after being suppressed for
- 1:36:37Speaker 3: almost fifteen years. About twenty five images shot in foreign
- 1:36:40Speaker 3: countries on two roles from the miniature German made camera
- 1:36:43Speaker 3: were made available by the FBI under Freedom of Information
- 1:36:47Speaker 3: Act request by Alan Weberman, an independent researcher from New
- 1:36:51Speaker 3: York City. More than twenty prints developed from one role
- 1:36:55Speaker 3: shows civilian scenes apparently in Europe. Five shots from the
- 1:36:59Speaker 3: other role or military scenes in either the Far East
- 1:37:02Speaker 3: or Central America or Florida. A Minox camera with a
- 1:37:07Speaker 3: cassette film role inside disappeared from Oswald's possession after the
- 1:37:11Speaker 3: FBI took custody of the property in nineteen sixty three.
- 1:37:15Speaker 3: The Bureau later tried to unsuccessfully pressure police into changing
- 1:37:19Speaker 3: their inventory list to read Monox light meter, not camera,
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: and he tells the story of Gus Rose, who said
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: he found the camera in Oswald's seabag at the home
- 1:37:28Speaker 3: of mister MSUs Payne. The FBI had indicated the two
- 1:37:32Speaker 3: roles it developed were found separately in ten containers with
- 1:37:35Speaker 3: ribbons tied around them, but House Assassinations Committee investigators recently
- 1:37:40Speaker 3: interviewed a former FBI agent who had custody of the
- 1:37:43Speaker 3: Oswald property when the camera when the camera with film
- 1:37:47Speaker 3: inside disappeared. The former agent, warrened Breeze, monitored oswald As
- 1:37:54Speaker 3: activities in the summer of sixty three. He came to
- 1:37:58Speaker 3: Dallas for two months to assist the warrant an investigation
- 1:38:00Speaker 3: of the assassination, he said, he told the news monitoring
- 1:38:05Speaker 3: is a word I would be reluctant to use, says Debris.
- 1:38:09Speaker 3: I never personally met Oswald, never knowingly personally talked to him.
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: And I say that advisedly because who knows. I don't
- 1:38:17Speaker 3: think it happened. He may have called on the phone
- 1:38:19Speaker 3: and made an inquiry one time without identifying himself. You
- 1:38:24Speaker 3: have Debris still with the whole song and danced that
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: he didn't know Oz.
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: That's a weird comment there. Yeah.
- 1:38:32Speaker 3: Yeah. The bureau cover letter to Weberman stated that.
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: You were brought to Dallas for two months, not the
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: weekend rob two months. I did not know that until
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: you just read it.
- 1:38:48Speaker 3: Yeah. The Bureau cover letter to Weberman stated that it
- 1:38:51Speaker 3: had not withheld any of the photos insomuch as the
- 1:38:54Speaker 3: material you requested is a great historical interest. Three of
- 1:38:58Speaker 3: the photos taken in a military environment in either the
- 1:39:00Speaker 3: Far East or Central America or Florida, or made from
- 1:39:05Speaker 3: inside a barbed wire encampment, showing civilians walking on the
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: other side. Another shot was taken from a boat showing
- 1:39:11Speaker 3: a tanker offered anchored offshore in mountainous terrain. Oswald was
- 1:39:17Speaker 3: stationed in Japan as a marine in fifty seven and
- 1:39:19Speaker 3: fifty eight, and during that time went on a tour
- 1:39:21Speaker 3: of duty to Taiwan, the Philippines, Corregidor, and Indonesia. The
- 1:39:29Speaker 3: Monox camera was invented in the late nineteen thirties in
- 1:39:32Speaker 3: Latvia and later manufactured at plants in Germany. It was
- 1:39:37Speaker 3: about three inches long and one inch wide, that's what
- 1:39:42Speaker 3: she said. It was used as a spy camera by
- 1:39:45Speaker 3: both sides during World War Two. So yeah, all this
- 1:39:55Speaker 3: was It was out in the paper in nineteen seventy
- 1:39:59Speaker 3: eight in Dallas.
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:40:07Speaker 3: Michael Paton told the News that he recalled taking photos
- 1:40:09Speaker 3: in Korea while he was in the army in the
- 1:40:12Speaker 3: early fifties and then later on a trip to Europe,
- 1:40:15Speaker 3: but not with a Minox camera. He couldn't remember taking
- 1:40:18Speaker 3: a photo of a tanker anchored offshore in mountainous terrain either.
- 1:40:22Speaker 3: He said, hmm interesting, right, yeah, very man, very all right, Joe,
- 1:40:37Speaker 3: I think that's everything with the cameras. Okay, God damn,
- 1:40:41Speaker 3: here we are and a forty minutes in time Flies
- 1:40:46Speaker 3: when you're talking a whole bunch of crazy shit about
- 1:40:51Speaker 3: the Minox camera and all of Oswall's crazy cameras. But
- 1:40:55Speaker 3: the bottom line is, before we get to you, yep,
- 1:41:00Speaker 3: you know, Oswald had a ship ton of camera equipment.
- 1:41:04Speaker 3: He referred to him itself as a photographic expert, a
- 1:41:07Speaker 3: photographer interesting in photography on several of his applications to
- 1:41:14Speaker 3: jobs unemployment agencies. And we saw the kind of work
- 1:41:18Speaker 3: that he was doing. Yeah, so very interesting stuff.
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: Yeah, and they say Jaggers was his most consistent job.
- 1:41:28Speaker 3: Yeah. And where the fuck do you learn how to
- 1:41:30Speaker 3: do this shit?
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: You know?
- 1:41:32Speaker 3: Yeah, because those those there's like negative plaques and the
- 1:41:36Speaker 3: name plates and all that oaks that is fascinating to
- 1:41:40Speaker 3: teach you how to do that ship you know, Yeah,
- 1:41:43Speaker 3: I tink around with and figure out.
- 1:41:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not messing around a power point here. And
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: the twenty twenties right, messing with fonts uh. And very
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: interesting that George de Moorn shield was was was part
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: of his font experiments or whatever you want to call it.
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: And of course I think he met him in like
- 1:42:05Speaker 1: end of sixty two. I think that's when ja Walton
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: Moore asked him to keep an eye on Oswalt, and
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: they started helping Leeam Marina.
- 1:42:16Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: It seems to me that they were trying to do
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: some covering up after the fact with Michael Paine's camera.
- 1:42:25Speaker 1: And but like you showed in the photo at the beginning,
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: he had a few in different cases. And what three binoculars?
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: Why do you need three binoculars?
- 1:42:38Speaker 3: Four?
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: Four?
- 1:42:41Speaker 3: And a tell us? Good?
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: Yeah? And that that light right, that light like that
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: big flash bowl thing I think as well.
- 1:42:50Speaker 3: Later Rus said that Ansko flash was hers.
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: Oh right, just as you said when the.
- 1:42:58Speaker 3: Pains were there. When these guys are going through the garage,
- 1:43:02Speaker 3: Gus Rose said, all this ship was found in Oswald's
- 1:43:04Speaker 3: sea bag. You know what I mean. When they moved
- 1:43:11Speaker 3: Oswald's ship from New Orleans, right, they packed it on
- 1:43:17Speaker 3: Ruth Payne's car, and Ruth and Marina took it back
- 1:43:23Speaker 3: to Ruth's house. Oswald stayed in New Orleans and then
- 1:43:26Speaker 3: went to Mexico and all that jazz, and when he
- 1:43:30Speaker 3: came back, he didn't he didn't, he didn't move into
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: Ruth Payne's house. So now if you're packing stuff to
- 1:43:37Speaker 3: take with you, and Oswald's didn't have a lot. It
- 1:43:40Speaker 3: wasn't like they had a ton of shit. Everything they
- 1:43:42Speaker 3: owned could fit in Ruth Payne station wagon. Okay, now,
- 1:43:47Speaker 3: And if that's all you got, chances are a lot
- 1:43:50Speaker 3: of that stuff is going to be in in suitcases
- 1:43:53Speaker 3: or bags or whatever. They're not just gonna have loose,
- 1:43:56Speaker 3: loose ship sitting, you know, sitting around everywhere. And obviously
- 1:44:00Speaker 3: the easiest way to pack an unpack is to put
- 1:44:02Speaker 3: everything in a bag. Right, It's not like Oswald's photographics
- 1:44:08Speaker 3: loose in the back of the in the back of
- 1:44:11Speaker 3: the station wagon and they unpacked it and just threw
- 1:44:13Speaker 3: it all around and drawers in the Ruth Pain's garage.
- 1:44:18Speaker 3: You know, I'm sure Oswald was very anal about his
- 1:44:21Speaker 3: shit and probably packed it all in bags and told
- 1:44:25Speaker 3: them don't fucking open them, don't go through my shit,
- 1:44:27Speaker 3: don't put it, don't touch my stuff, you know.
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he was a packer, and Hancock and Boiling
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: definitely established that he kept everything.
- 1:44:37Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow, So whatever they found and attributed to Oswald
- 1:44:46Speaker 3: was more than likely Oswald's and not Ruth Paints. And
- 1:44:50Speaker 3: like I said, Ruth Paint and Michael Payne were there
- 1:44:52Speaker 3: watching the cops go through all his ship, and if
- 1:44:54Speaker 3: any of it was theirs, they likely would have spoke
- 1:44:57Speaker 3: up and said, hey, that's mine.
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he would think so, he would think so,
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: especially without a warrant the first day on a twenty
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: second Right, you definitely say that, right, Yeah. And I
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: don't know who wrote that handwritten letter we get permission
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: that was in the first picture you showed. But yeah,
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: and just how he knew to show up at that
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: time is interesting as well, right, Michael Paine does.
- 1:45:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was hw Hill. He was the
- 1:45:31Speaker 3: property inventory guy or maybe it was.
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: Yeah. No, he signed that thing at the bottom of
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: the Beckley thing under debris, I think, and the first
- 1:45:39Speaker 1: thing he showed, Yeah, I think there was Hill. Yeah,
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: Timothy Ryan might have the comment of the night, so
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: says James Smith. So many cameras, so little time. So yeah,
- 1:45:57Speaker 1: it seems to me Rob, like I said before, that
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: the are trying to almost tie up loose ends by
- 1:46:02Speaker 1: maybe Ruth, you know, claiming it was Michael's later on,
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: and and the whole gluing the shutter shut or whatever
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: they did with the minox, and that's in the archives now.
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: I don't know, it's crazy but.
- 1:46:23Speaker 3: Cray cray pray cray for shure. Yeah, but that we
- 1:46:29Speaker 3: hear from crazy to crazier to Joe. Have you would
- 1:46:34Speaker 3: like to go ahead and present your topic?
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: Sure? So of course Rob was preparing this segment on
- 1:46:42Speaker 1: the cameras and as I usually do, I try to
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: think of a topic that can that is a related supplement, Yes,
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: supplements Rob's topic. And it wasn't my memory or or
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: a good idea. It was actually because it was a
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: recent email that was sent out I think six days
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: ago Rob, that brought my attention to another camera and
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: another rumor that is floating around that has to do
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: with the Babushka Lady Rob and her allegedly using a
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: quote gun camera aka a gun that is that's made
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: to look like it is a camera, but that can
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: fire some shots. And I figured we dive into this
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: a little bit. What do you say?
- 1:47:41Speaker 3: Yes, let's let's let's so.
- 1:47:44Speaker 1: Before I get into this email here, I figured I'd
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: do a little couple slides on the Babushka Lady. This
- 1:47:53Speaker 1: is a frame from the much more It might have
- 1:47:58Speaker 1: been a film. I don't know if it's a still
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: or not, but you can see the Babushka lady on
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: the far right here with my little red arrow. That's
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: very obvious pointing down to her. She has a dress
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: kind of around the knees and a type of pink
- 1:48:13Speaker 1: scarf on. Okay, And this is another This is still
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: of the superber frame two eighty five of the Babushka
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: lady when she has the camera up to her face.
- 1:48:29Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: And as I was looking at this, rob one thing
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: came to mind.
- 1:48:39Speaker 3: What's that?
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: She can't be a good photographer. She has maybe twenty
- 1:48:45Speaker 1: thirty feet on her left, yet she is filming over
- 1:48:50Speaker 1: the shoulder of I believe it's.
- 1:48:52Speaker 7: Charles grim I say it again, Barim brim right, Brent, Yes,
- 1:49:03Speaker 7: and a lot of you get up there beside them,
- 1:49:05Speaker 7: so nobody's in your freaking way, right And if you look.
- 1:49:10Speaker 1: At where she's aiming, she's almost aiming towards the driver,
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: who was kind of looking backwards at that point. I
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: think you have JFK kind of choking.
- 1:49:19Speaker 3: On leading her camera a little bit to take a
- 1:49:22Speaker 3: picture like.
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: Possibly possibly.
- 1:49:28Speaker 3: Being target. You know, you you kind of get ahead
- 1:49:30Speaker 3: of it a little bit, you know.
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: Per rob, if you are a decent photographer, as in
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: this isn't your first you know, time taking pictures. Why
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: not move a couple of feet to her left or
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: right looking at this picture to get a clearer shot.
- 1:49:47Speaker 1: It screams to me that she might not be the
- 1:49:51Speaker 1: most experienced photographer, or is there something else going on?
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: I do not know, So we will get into it,
- 1:49:59Speaker 1: I promise. But before we do, I figured I bring
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: up a video of the Mark Bell film.
- 1:50:09Speaker 3: You have any music? Doesn't? It does not? It is check.
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: I double check that. Uh. And this is a credit
- 1:50:21Speaker 1: of the JFK Assassination Forum YouTube channel, which has a
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: bunch of good pictures. So I'm gonna play a couple
- 1:50:32Speaker 1: of seconds of this. I'm gonna pause it and we'll
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: give some commentary. But this is one of the films
- 1:50:37Speaker 1: that films of the bushaka lady reacting or not reacting
- 1:50:42Speaker 1: to the shots when the motorcake passes are right, I
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: see Jackie's hat there, all right, they're about to make
- 1:51:06Speaker 1: that left shots. Okay, this is the Bubuska Lady right
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: right here.
- 1:51:24Speaker 3: And a lot of.
- 1:51:25Speaker 1: Uh speculation has been talked about why everyone else was
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: on the ground and why she didn't respond to the
- 1:51:38Speaker 1: shots right.
- 1:51:41Speaker 3: So maybe she didn't hear them because her bubushka was
- 1:51:44Speaker 3: covering her ears a little tight.
- 1:51:49Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm saying. You never know. I mean,
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: could she have been slow, could she have been used
- 1:51:53Speaker 1: to gunshots? Could she have not even realized what was
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: going on? You never know?
- 1:51:57Speaker 3: Right everybody else, you can see dark complexing man hitting
- 1:52:01Speaker 3: the ground across the street, and a little bit before this,
- 1:52:04Speaker 3: you can see Brem and his son already on the ground.
- 1:52:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:52:08Speaker 3: I think that's right to her right there now her left,
- 1:52:13Speaker 3: if you come back a little bit.
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Yeah, So she doesn't react, which is a
- 1:52:23Speaker 1: big point of contention we're going to get into there
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: she is again right as the mortar cave continues to
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: pass by her, some more cops on motorcycles, and then
- 1:52:42Speaker 1: she waits for Well, I'll wait for a second before
- 1:52:48Speaker 1: I get into that, but I am going to pull
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: up the email that was sent within a week ago
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: and talk about a theory that but bushk Lady possibly
- 1:53:00Speaker 1: had a camera gun and and yeah, I mean we
- 1:53:10Speaker 1: might debunk it, we might not, We probably will.
- 1:53:15Speaker 3: Let me see it here.
- 1:53:16Speaker 1: So sorry to bring up his email. So this was
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: sent by a researcher. Where's the funky Jeffrey Sunberg, and
- 1:53:33Speaker 1: I am not one hundred percent familiar with him or
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: his background, but essentially he quotes a book on the
- 1:53:43Speaker 1: assassination attempts of French I guess Prime Minister technically Charles
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: de Gaulle in the nineteen sixties, and apparently there were many, many,
- 1:53:55Speaker 1: many attempts on his life. Right, So I'm gonna skip
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: a little further into the email. To my surprise, especially
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: given the other event of the day, the Target to
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: Gall book contains a chapter attached I'll get into it
- 1:54:14Speaker 1: of the May nineteen sixty three attempt to kill Charles
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: the Gall in the in Athens that employed an oas invention,
- 1:54:23Speaker 1: a camera gun that held six bullets each tipped with
- 1:54:27Speaker 1: cyanide to chemically amplify the mechanical kinetic lethal lethalogy. I
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: said that apart from the mention of the gun, camera
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: and the attachment, readers from da mare Plume book, we'll
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: find the in we'll find an incidental incidental second mention
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: of the camera gun on page two forty one. Blah
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: blah blah. As students of the JFK assassination, the RFPA assassination,
- 1:54:57Speaker 1: we mentally turn over scenarios to explain and how shooters
- 1:55:00Speaker 1: would get into and out of the TSPD without being
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: remembered by the people who worked there, or how a
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: gun was fired into the back of RK's head in
- 1:55:10Speaker 1: the middle of the crowd when his ostensible assassin was
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: always many feet to his front, while daniusine he goes
- 1:55:18Speaker 1: into the ark thing. One should also note that a
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: camera gun features and Mary Haversticks, a woman I know
- 1:55:28Speaker 1: the commendable and eye opening book about Jerry Cobb, the
- 1:55:33Speaker 1: quote twin sister and aviation of June Cobb and the
- 1:55:37Speaker 1: person whose signature seems to be identical to that of
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: the Jerry or Jerry who signed off on the QJ
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: Win material. Haverstick devotes a number of pages to her
- 1:55:48Speaker 1: path breaking visual analysis of the Bobushka Lady and demonstrates
- 1:55:53Speaker 1: the oddness of this assassination figure who seems not interested
- 1:55:58Speaker 1: in getting a good frontal for graph of a smiling
- 1:56:01Speaker 1: JFK and Jackie as they approached, but rather u but
- 1:56:05Speaker 1: rather hid behind Charles brem even when she had physically
- 1:56:10Speaker 1: prepared herself to train her camera on the back of
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: Kennedy after he had passed During the shooting. Haverstick notes
- 1:56:20Speaker 1: Pabushka didn't flinched and dropped, didn't shelter, and neither reported
- 1:56:24Speaker 1: herself as a witness to these witness to the authorities,
- 1:56:31Speaker 1: nor was ever sought by them, despite her possession of
- 1:56:34Speaker 1: a camera being sought on film by other cameras aka
- 1:56:39Speaker 1: other people caught her taking film or pictures. The preoccupation
- 1:56:45Speaker 1: with Kennedy's rear seat rear suggested to Haverston Haverstick a
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: gun hidden inside the camera, and she pointed to other
- 1:56:56Speaker 1: documented guns hidden in canes, lips, cases, or cigarette packets, etc.
- 1:57:03Speaker 1: With the documented oas possession of a gun camera six
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: months before Dallas Harsix's gun camera transcends the realm of
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: the conjectural into the realm of the possible. Of course,
- 1:57:15Speaker 1: the second objection to Harstik scenario is that a bullet
- 1:57:19Speaker 1: trajectory from the Babushka accords poorly accords poorly with the
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: actual wound pattern, as now so well and so compellingly
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: and cogently documented in the mature analysis of Doctor's Mantick
- 1:57:36Speaker 1: and Chusser. But I personally question whether Bobushka's putative payload
- 1:57:44Speaker 1: was not the bullet portion of the oas cyanide to bullets,
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: but rather the cyanide supplement. Is there any chance that
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: the physical residue of the Bobushka's camera pointing effort found
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: himself in the authentic meta shrapnel fragments embedded orthogonally on
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: Kennedy's sixterior skull near the coal catholic the troubling to explain,
- 1:58:12Speaker 1: but which formed the basis for this subsequent superimposed six
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: point five millimeter circular object that doctor Mantick's disomeoner provided
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: to be physically preposterous dark room confection, so that that
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: kind of lost me a little bit rough. But I
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: think Harrist that goes into some of the fragments in
- 1:58:42Speaker 1: Kennedy's skull and whether that could have been the result
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: of a shot so close as like from a camera gun.
- 1:58:49Speaker 3: She was on the wrong side of the road for one,
- 1:58:52Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it made sense for her to be
- 1:58:55Speaker 3: on the other side of the road. And if you know,
- 1:58:56Speaker 3: JFK is a target on the side she was on.
- 1:59:01Speaker 3: You know, you had to get get through Nelly, Nelly
- 1:59:03Speaker 3: and Jackie.
- 1:59:04Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, and and of course the head would of
- 1:59:09Speaker 8: course go forward and uh and the Bubushkal lady would
- 1:59:13Speaker 8: have been somewhat to the rear right.
- 1:59:16Speaker 3: So well, depending on when she shot. If she shot
- 1:59:19Speaker 3: as they were approaching her, she would have to get
- 1:59:22Speaker 3: through Nelly and Jackie. Now she waited to after the
- 1:59:25Speaker 3: card passed right still, you know you would have had
- 1:59:31Speaker 3: a pretty I mean, depending on the bullet, uh, in
- 1:59:36Speaker 3: the capacity of the gun. Who knows, Yeah, I would
- 1:59:41Speaker 3: have been a facial blowout or something. Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:59:44Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna read one more little sentence here
- 1:59:47Speaker 1: in a side note of greater seriousness, I have to
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: ask myself whether the American intelligence agencies, lying upon the
- 1:59:56Speaker 1: technical expertise of their brains, trust in the well funded
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: Technical Services Division shout out David Christ who recently got
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: out of Cuba a few months after this, had not
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: alreadily already long preceded France's captain another assassination attempt. So,
- 2:00:25Speaker 1: and this is let me bring up my PowerPoint here,
- 2:00:28Speaker 1: the attachment to this email. And you know, I thought
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: maybe that they were going to quote this email some
- 2:00:37Speaker 1: oas primary resource documents. Rob. Unfortunately, they just quoted a book.
- 2:00:44Speaker 1: And the book is named Target de Gal Charles de Gall.
- 2:00:49Speaker 1: And of course it highlights the thirty one attempts of
- 2:00:54Speaker 1: the Life of the French President. But on chapter thirty
- 2:00:58Speaker 1: two Rob there is a very short chapter It says
- 2:01:01Speaker 1: a lethal camera. Okay, and this is a little clip
- 2:01:07Speaker 1: from that by Pierre de Maree. I hope I'm saying
- 2:01:12Speaker 1: that right as so it happened. For some days the
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: two have been discussing an inter invention developed by Captain Memon,
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: who was a good technician and practical improviser. His idea
- 2:01:24Speaker 1: was to insert a six point three to five millimeter
- 2:01:27Speaker 1: barrel into a camera. To the outward eye, the camera
- 2:01:31Speaker 1: would look perfectly normal, and it could even continue to
- 2:01:35Speaker 1: take photographs though an aperture below the lens. However, six
- 2:01:40Speaker 1: bullets impregnated with cyanide could be fired at any target selected.
- 2:01:46Speaker 1: Conde had shown very great interest in this device. I
- 2:01:49Speaker 1: think that's an oas guy who was trying to kill
- 2:01:53Speaker 1: the goal. It could be used by a tourist without
- 2:01:55Speaker 1: attracting attention, Okay. To Gall's visit to Athens was an
- 2:02:01Speaker 1: ideal opportunity for him to succeed where he had failed
- 2:02:05Speaker 1: at a prior assassination attempt.
- 2:02:08Speaker 3: Right.
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: He immediately passed word to his superiors, who gave their agreement,
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: and Meman started to construct the camera gun apparatus that
- 2:02:18Speaker 1: very day. For good measure, he even made two models. Okay. Dejectedly,
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: he watched the triumphal arrival of General Gall, who passed
- 2:02:31Speaker 1: within twelve feet of him. This in Athens, Greece. Condi
- 2:02:34Speaker 1: could only press the release of his camera, thus at
- 2:02:37Speaker 1: least obtaining a historic photograph of de Gaul offering an
- 2:02:41Speaker 1: ideal target. Not until the afternoon did he receive his
- 2:02:45Speaker 1: papers and money, enabling him to return to Brussels where
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: he could blah blah. The photographs were considered excellent. They
- 2:02:52Speaker 1: included one of Degall's standing in an open car, saluting
- 2:02:56Speaker 1: the crowd and presenting his August profile at the distance
- 2:02:59Speaker 1: of twelve feet, a sitting target even for a moderate marksman. Okay.
- 2:03:06Speaker 1: The photographs and the doctor camera right, the camera made
- 2:03:10Speaker 1: into a gun were placed in a suitcase belonging to
- 2:03:12Speaker 1: one of the members of the Brussels Resistance Council. A
- 2:03:15Speaker 1: few days later, this man, of course, rob was getting
- 2:03:19Speaker 1: bored like all the Brussels exiles, and decided to go
- 2:03:23Speaker 1: out and get drunk, and in the night of the
- 2:03:26Speaker 1: suburbs got music, girls and whiskey quickly had their effect
- 2:03:31Speaker 1: on him, and a brawl started a nightclub. The police
- 2:03:37Speaker 1: ended up arresting him and then searching his apartment and
- 2:03:42Speaker 1: seizing this camera gun rob of course, without it ever
- 2:03:48Speaker 1: being used or without it ever being photographed. So what
- 2:03:58Speaker 1: are we to think of this camera on? So what
- 2:04:03Speaker 1: do we do these days? Well, we asked, ai, don't we.
- 2:04:09Speaker 3: Real quick? Joe? Thank you? John just became a covert operator. Excellent, excellent, sir.
- 2:04:21Speaker 3: Welcome aboard, Yes, welcome to the members member club.
- 2:04:26Speaker 1: Yes, you will have many fire members only episodes. We
- 2:04:31Speaker 1: catch on and and we go crazy. There are things
- 2:04:34Speaker 1: we can't say on the normal YouTube interwebs. So yeah,
- 2:04:40Speaker 1: uh so okay, So back to the theory. And this
- 2:04:48Speaker 1: is what Mary Haverstick says in her book is that
- 2:04:52Speaker 1: the Babushka lady and I'm not And she has a
- 2:04:55Speaker 1: great book about Jerry and June cop right. This is
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: separate from that theory is.
- 2:05:03Speaker 3: And she admits it is her and it's just a theory.
- 2:05:07Speaker 3: There's nothing she's basing this on other than the fact
- 2:05:09Speaker 3: that it could possibly feasibly be done this way.
- 2:05:14Speaker 1: Yes, and and part of her her biggest suspicion is
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: that the Babushka lady didn't flinch, drop or shelter, and
- 2:05:21Speaker 1: that she never came presented herself to the authorities, or
- 2:05:27Speaker 1: allegedly the authorities never looked for her. But I'm going
- 2:05:32Speaker 1: to get to some of that in a second here.
- 2:05:34Speaker 1: But let's see. So I asked Roc. Okay, this is funny.
- 2:05:44Speaker 1: So I asked Roc, and I was like, what's up
- 2:05:46Speaker 1: with a camera gun in the nineteen sixties and was
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: it used to as an attempt to possibly assassinate the
- 2:05:58Speaker 1: Gaul by the OAS? And this is what Groc has
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: to say. Rob Groc couldn't find an image of an
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: OS camera gun specifically linked to the nineteen sixty three
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: assassination attempt on Charles de Gaull. The OAS was involved
- 2:06:13Speaker 1: in several attempts on De Gaul's life, most notably the
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two Petit Clamart attack, but there's no doc
- 2:06:22Speaker 1: documented evidence of a quote camera gun being used in
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: these events. The sources described the use of machine guns,
- 2:06:30Speaker 1: submachine guns, and automatic weapons during the nineteen sixty two ambush,
- 2:06:35Speaker 1: with no mention of a disguised camera weapon. The idea
- 2:06:39Speaker 1: of a camera gun might stem from fictional depictions like
- 2:06:43Speaker 1: Frederick Foresights quote The Day of the Jackal in nineteen
- 2:06:47Speaker 1: seventy one, which is inspired by the Petit Clomarte attack
- 2:06:53Speaker 1: but includes creative elements not present in the historical record
- 2:06:59Speaker 1: aka the film was not one hundred percent accurate in
- 2:07:03Speaker 1: the novel and it's nineteen seventy three film adaptation, the
- 2:07:06Speaker 1: assassin uses a custom rifle, not a camera gun. Yes,
- 2:07:10Speaker 1: and I did search for that. So I asked a
- 2:07:14Speaker 1: little bit more about it, and I said, so, what
- 2:07:17Speaker 1: type of camera guns were around in the nineteen sixties, right?
- 2:07:23Speaker 1: So GROC said they couldn't find a verified image of
- 2:07:27Speaker 1: any but a KGB twenty two caliber disguised camera gun
- 2:07:33Speaker 1: in the available sources or through a direct search. The
- 2:07:39Speaker 1: concept of a twenty two caliber quote sticker gun disguised
- 2:07:42Speaker 1: as a camera is mentioned in some contexts, notably on
- 2:07:46Speaker 1: the Deadliest War wiki Warrior Wiki I'll get to that
- 2:07:50Speaker 1: in a second, which describes it as a single shot
- 2:07:53Speaker 1: firearm or the bullet breaks through the camera's lens with
- 2:07:58Speaker 1: optics used for site. It references a nineteen forty six
- 2:08:02Speaker 1: attempt on Olga Rocco using a shotgun camera but doesn't
- 2:08:06Speaker 1: provide a specific image. Okay, so again we can't. We
- 2:08:12Speaker 1: still can't find an actable photo of a gun like this,
- 2:08:18Speaker 1: but we'll get there. I have a couple coming up here.
- 2:08:22Speaker 3: Other sources.
- 2:08:25Speaker 1: Other sources like Business Insider and Smithsonian magazines showcase KGB
- 2:08:29Speaker 1: spy gadgets, including cameras hidden in cigarette packs or purses,
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: but none it's explicitly depict a twenty two caliber fireum
- 2:08:38Speaker 1: disguised as a camera. The closest visual reference are to
- 2:08:43Speaker 1: other disguise KGB weapons, like the poisoned pistol in a
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: cigarette pack or a lipstick gun, which doesn't match the
- 2:08:50Speaker 1: camera gun description. The lack of a clear image may
- 2:08:55Speaker 1: stem from the rarity of such devices, their classification, or
- 2:08:59Speaker 1: their fiction exaggeration in media like The Day of the
- 2:09:03Speaker 1: Jackal movie and book. Since no authentic image is available,
- 2:09:09Speaker 1: GROC is offering to generate an artistic representation of what
- 2:09:13Speaker 1: a KGB twenty two caliber camera gun might look like
- 2:09:17Speaker 1: based on the described design, which is awesome. Eg. Compact
- 2:09:23Speaker 1: camera with a lens concealing a barrel. Would you like
- 2:09:26Speaker 1: me to provide proceed with generating that image? What do
- 2:09:30Speaker 1: you think I sent to Grock Rom of course, yes,
- 2:09:35Speaker 1: proceeded Grock. So first I found an image of the
- 2:09:42Speaker 1: KGB single shot twenty two caliber stinger gun and Rob,
- 2:09:48Speaker 1: this is not very subtle, no, I mean.
- 2:09:53Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, from the offset, it could it could
- 2:09:56Speaker 3: appear if one wasn't looking too closely at you, that
- 2:09:59Speaker 3: you would simply filming. The butt gives it away. The
- 2:10:05Speaker 3: big wooden stock, it just kind of gives it away
- 2:10:08Speaker 3: just a little bit.
- 2:10:09Speaker 1: Yeah, not to mention, Rob. It's a single shot and
- 2:10:12Speaker 1: it fires through the lens, which cannot help accuracy, right,
- 2:10:18Speaker 1: And it classifies this as a mid range, which I
- 2:10:21Speaker 1: guess if you look through the you know, the site,
- 2:10:24Speaker 1: pretend you're taking a picture, it might have a somewhat
- 2:10:28Speaker 1: decent range.
- 2:10:29Speaker 3: But for me it.
- 2:10:31Speaker 1: Wouldn't be my preferred assassination weapon. That's standing on either
- 2:10:38Speaker 1: side of I'm sure.
- 2:10:41Speaker 3: This is a disguised movie camera, like, not a regular
- 2:10:45Speaker 3: film camera. This is a movie moving picture camera.
- 2:10:50Speaker 1: Yeah, and one shot, I mean you have no other
- 2:10:53Speaker 1: and a moving target, you have no other opportunity. I
- 2:10:55Speaker 1: mean that's a stretch for me. So what ad Grock
- 2:10:59Speaker 1: come up with? Actually, the one the left looked like
- 2:11:03Speaker 1: something you showed before, right, yeah, and on the right,
- 2:11:09Speaker 1: I guess this is based on that six six point
- 2:11:14Speaker 1: three five millimeter thing that the oas allegedly based on
- 2:11:20Speaker 1: this random book created to kill the goll But I
- 2:11:26Speaker 1: mean that looks better than the previous one. But interesting
- 2:11:30Speaker 1: that AI came up with this picture based on the description,
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: right yeah, kind of cool. Yeah, and I know someone
- 2:11:38Speaker 1: earlier in the chat said, can we use AI to
- 2:11:43Speaker 1: help with photo identification? I think the comment was referring
- 2:11:47Speaker 1: to prayer men, and yeah, if you have the money
- 2:11:50Speaker 1: and ability technical ability to do that, yeah, Rob, and
- 2:11:56Speaker 1: I might not.
- 2:11:57Speaker 3: Well, I found Joe an actual toy from nineteen sixty five. Okay,
- 2:12:03Speaker 3: and let me pop it up here. This is Remember
- 2:12:06Speaker 3: this is a toy, Folcus. This is not real, but
- 2:12:10Speaker 3: it's a toy camera gun.
- 2:12:12Speaker 1: Check this out, Okay.
- 2:12:16Speaker 3: Now, from this side it looks legit, right, looks like
- 2:12:20Speaker 3: a little shitty movie camera, right.
- 2:12:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:12:25Speaker 3: From the other side, it's of course Agent zero movie shot, right,
- 2:12:33Speaker 3: and it looks a little bit more sinister on this side.
- 2:12:39Speaker 3: And it had a barrel that you could pull out
- 2:12:42Speaker 3: and extend, right, Yeah, I see, yeah, now that remember
- 2:12:49Speaker 3: this is a toy that was released in nineteen sixty five,
- 2:12:57Speaker 3: made from metal and plastic, of course, but you could
- 2:13:01Speaker 3: see conceptually how something like this could work. The problem
- 2:13:07Speaker 3: is the Babushka Lady had a box camera, not unlike, uh,
- 2:13:16Speaker 3: something like the Imperial Reflex. Now, if you believe Beverly Oliver,
- 2:13:22Speaker 3: she had a Yeshika model movie camera that hadn't been
- 2:13:28Speaker 3: released to the public yet that you did not look
- 2:13:30Speaker 3: anything like a box camera.
- 2:13:32Speaker 1: Ye.
- 2:13:33Speaker 3: But if you, if you, if you look close up
- 2:13:36Speaker 3: at some of the images of the bubusk Lady, you
- 2:13:38Speaker 3: can clearly see that what she had was a box
- 2:13:43Speaker 3: type looking camera, not a motion picture like not a
- 2:13:48Speaker 3: moving picture camera.
- 2:13:50Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:13:52Speaker 3: So, I don't know if Alex sent you any shots
- 2:13:54Speaker 3: of the camera that the Bubushka Lady actually had, but
- 2:13:57Speaker 3: this would be a good time to show them if
- 2:13:58Speaker 3: you did.
- 2:13:59Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, he sent me a couple pictures. I'm gonna
- 2:14:03Speaker 1: get into it a second that are very interesting. But
- 2:14:08Speaker 1: before I do, I am going to sure last thing
- 2:14:16Speaker 1: that Groc said about why no camera gun and os
- 2:14:21Speaker 1: plots Number one practicality the oss oas favorite reliable, high
- 2:14:28Speaker 1: powered weapons for ambushes, not single shot disguised devices. Right,
- 2:14:33Speaker 1: This would be more of like a spy one shot
- 2:14:37Speaker 1: d l right type of.
- 2:14:42Speaker 3: Well, look, man, if you can, if you can turn
- 2:14:44Speaker 3: a tube lipstick into a gun, or a pack of
- 2:14:46Speaker 3: cigarettes into a gun, you could easily configure into a
- 2:14:51Speaker 3: box camera. The elements of a gun just defact that
- 2:14:57Speaker 3: we don't have any available for picture. It doesn't mean
- 2:15:00Speaker 3: that they didn't exist.
- 2:15:03Speaker 1: I can't agree more. And that's going to segue into
- 2:15:06Speaker 1: the next point. Availability. Custom camera guns were rare, expensive
- 2:15:12Speaker 1: and typically restricted to intelligence agencies AKA. They would have
- 2:15:18Speaker 1: had to make them custom right for a certain operation.
- 2:15:23Speaker 3: Q would have had to make them, Yes, yes, yea.
- 2:15:29Speaker 1: So. But then I found something very interesting on the
- 2:15:34Speaker 1: Babushka lady. Because we know Rob, there's a bunch of
- 2:15:36Speaker 1: theories whether she was a raw child or a CI agent.
- 2:15:42Speaker 1: I know your podcast partner Doug has an interesting theory
- 2:15:46Speaker 1: he told me about a year ago. But he told
- 2:15:48Speaker 1: me not telling me one so I won't say anything
- 2:15:49Speaker 1: about it. But let's see what Gary Mack had to
- 2:15:56Speaker 1: say to the AAARB about the publish lady. Okay Mac.
- 2:16:04Speaker 1: What I have found living here in Dallas and talking
- 2:16:07Speaker 1: with people is that there are a lot of people
- 2:16:09Speaker 1: in Dallas area who for one reason or another just
- 2:16:13Speaker 1: would prefer not to come forward. I learned a story
- 2:16:17Speaker 1: just a few weeks ago. You know, this is a
- 2:16:20Speaker 1: few weeks ago in November ninety four, right, so October
- 2:16:26Speaker 1: ninety four, right somewhere in that range. A retired Kodak
- 2:16:31Speaker 1: executive remembered that while they were processing Abraham's a Pruder's
- 2:16:36Speaker 1: film out in the Dallas office out by love Field,
- 2:16:40Speaker 1: that a woman had come in and this woman in
- 2:16:44Speaker 1: her late thirties, and again, Bubushka lady is I think
- 2:16:49Speaker 1: Beverly Oliver was seventeenth at the time. People think Bushka
- 2:16:52Speaker 1: lady is in her thirties.
- 2:16:53Speaker 3: If not forties, okay or older?
- 2:16:56Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a brunette who had taken a picture of
- 2:16:59Speaker 1: the assassination seen and her picture was the first one
- 2:17:01Speaker 1: out of the processor. And they were working on this
- 2:17:04Speaker 1: because it was quicker to do stills than it was
- 2:17:07Speaker 1: moving film. He didn't catch her name, but he stood
- 2:17:12Speaker 1: next to her while she was explaining her story to
- 2:17:15Speaker 1: some of the federal investigators who were already there right
- 2:17:20Speaker 1: monitoring the superbor film processing. She was running from Main
- 2:17:25Speaker 1: Street up to Elm Street across the grass. Realized she
- 2:17:29Speaker 1: wasn't going to get there close enough, stopped and took
- 2:17:33Speaker 1: a picture. In the foreground were some people standing on
- 2:17:37Speaker 1: the south curve of Elm Street. The Kennedy limousine was
- 2:17:41Speaker 1: directly behind them. Directly behind the limousine was the book
- 2:17:45Speaker 1: Depository building. When the picture came out of the processor,
- 2:17:50Speaker 1: the very first thing I noticed was that the exposure
- 2:17:53Speaker 1: was terrific, but the focus was way way off. The
- 2:17:58Speaker 1: picture was virtually useless, and the lady was told that, well,
- 2:18:02Speaker 1: she apparently went home, and whether anyone even got her
- 2:18:05Speaker 1: name or that is unknown. If the story is true,
- 2:18:10Speaker 1: and I have no reason, Gary Mack says to doubt it,
- 2:18:14Speaker 1: the man we saw him out, he did not seek
- 2:18:17Speaker 1: us out. Today, if we can locate that slide and
- 2:18:20Speaker 1: this is the color slide, computer enhancement can return it
- 2:18:24Speaker 1: literally to almost the best clarity you could have had
- 2:18:28Speaker 1: at the time. So Gary Mack is saying that this
- 2:18:34Speaker 1: alleged Bibushka lady, who was getting her film developed at
- 2:18:38Speaker 1: around the same time the Superber film was, was so
- 2:18:43Speaker 1: off and that breaks me back rob to my initial
- 2:18:46Speaker 1: observation of her not being the greatest photographer. Was so
- 2:18:50Speaker 1: off and so out of focus that none of the
- 2:18:54Speaker 1: authorities gave it much attention. If the story is true,
- 2:19:00Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, of course, back in those days nothing
- 2:19:06Speaker 1: like that existed. They're talking about computer enhancement. The Kodak
- 2:19:10Speaker 1: executive's name is Jack Harrison. Jack said they were pushing
- 2:19:13Speaker 1: the technicians very hard to do whatever you can to
- 2:19:16Speaker 1: sharpen the picture and improve it. But at the end
- 2:19:19Speaker 1: they just said, hey, there's nothing we could do with
- 2:19:21Speaker 1: this picture. So here is a woman with a potentially
- 2:19:25Speaker 1: important photograph. And Rob remember where she's facing. She's facing
- 2:19:30Speaker 1: towards the grassy knoll. Right, yeah, she's facing literally towards
- 2:19:35Speaker 1: the grassy knoll. So here is a woman with a
- 2:19:38Speaker 1: potentially important i'll add, potentially groundbreaking photograph, a still photograph.
- 2:19:46Speaker 1: What is especially interesting to me is that from the
- 2:19:48Speaker 1: description of her position what the picture shows, she may
- 2:19:52Speaker 1: very well be the real Babushka Lady. This is an
- 2:19:55Speaker 1: area in the research community that is very controversial. Right
- 2:20:00Speaker 1: at this point, and without going into any great detail,
- 2:20:04Speaker 1: I do not believe that Beverly Oliver is the Babushka Lady,
- 2:20:08Speaker 1: or let me rephrase that that she certainly could have been.
- 2:20:11Speaker 1: But the rest of the story. Her story is a fabrication.
- 2:20:16Speaker 1: This is my personal belief based on the work I've done.
- 2:20:19Speaker 1: What has happened, though, Gary continues, apparently, is the story
- 2:20:23Speaker 1: from Jack Harrison that this woman existed. She has a
- 2:20:27Speaker 1: photograph that could have some important answers. It is probably
- 2:20:32Speaker 1: sitting in a shoe box somewhere in her closet where
- 2:20:36Speaker 1: her grandchildren sons or daughter's closet, and she and they
- 2:20:41Speaker 1: have no idea. And how do you find a woman
- 2:20:43Speaker 1: like that? How do you get people to come forward?
- 2:20:46Speaker 1: Maybe your work of the arb will do that. So
- 2:20:53Speaker 1: what he's saying is that because her pictures were so
- 2:20:58Speaker 1: bad that no and paid any attention to it, and
- 2:21:02Speaker 1: she just kind of waved it off and it's sitting
- 2:21:05Speaker 1: somewhere randomly.
- 2:21:08Speaker 3: That certainly sounds much more plausible than the alternative theory.
- 2:21:13Speaker 1: Yes, I one hundred percent agree with that.
- 2:21:16Speaker 3: This woman is trying to catch up to the limousine
- 2:21:19Speaker 3: and she stops at the last second, points and shoes,
- 2:21:22Speaker 3: doesn't give the camera time to focus.
- 2:21:26Speaker 1: Yeah, Okham's razor. It makes the most sense bye far.
- 2:21:31Speaker 1: And she didn't know she has anything, But it gives
- 2:21:34Speaker 1: me hope that you know, some people in Dallas. Her
- 2:21:39Speaker 1: ancestors have this photo somewhere and with AI it could
- 2:21:44Speaker 1: possibly be refocused.
- 2:21:49Speaker 3: Depends on depends on how bad it is. But right,
- 2:21:52Speaker 3: whether or not you ever get a contingency to agree
- 2:21:56Speaker 3: on anything concerning that photo?
- 2:21:58Speaker 1: Right? And would it even show any part of the
- 2:22:03Speaker 1: picket fence where you could possibly tell anything? Of course
- 2:22:06Speaker 1: that's all speculation.
- 2:22:07Speaker 3: Who knows, but James, Joe awesome, fine buddy.
- 2:22:12Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So essentially this email has been making the rounds,
- 2:22:19Speaker 1: and we know, you know, some crazy theories make the
- 2:22:24Speaker 1: rounds now and then. And not to impugne miss have
- 2:22:30Speaker 1: her stick's work in regards to you know, June Cobb
- 2:22:34Speaker 1: or anything. But it's a stretch for me that this
- 2:22:39Speaker 1: woman who couldn't even time her photograph and was somehow
- 2:22:46Speaker 1: involved in the assassination. So I'm going to follow up
- 2:22:51Speaker 1: on your comment earlier Alpha sixty six, Mike, did I
- 2:22:57Speaker 1: consult mister Alex Harris with this information before the episode?
- 2:23:06Speaker 1: What do you think, Rob?
- 2:23:09Speaker 3: I already know the answer. Go, it wouldn't be fair
- 2:23:11Speaker 3: to me especially Yes, yes, there was my da to
- 2:23:14Speaker 3: tell you you're get in touch with it, I guess.
- 2:23:21Speaker 1: So here we have here this is the photographs of
- 2:23:28Speaker 1: a Dallas Times Harold photographer named William Allen. And again,
- 2:23:35Speaker 1: Alex Harris is really just such a great source when
- 2:23:40Speaker 1: it comes to this, because I just told him what
- 2:23:42Speaker 1: I was looking for it and he goes, oh, yeah,
- 2:23:44Speaker 1: William album. He came into Dealey Plaza around twelve forty.
- 2:23:47Speaker 1: He took one hundred and fifty photographs and it's all
- 2:23:52Speaker 1: over the place. This is he said, allegedly around photo
- 2:23:58Speaker 1: eighty of his one or two fifty shot roll. He
- 2:24:02Speaker 1: had a few roles of film. Right, you could see
- 2:24:06Speaker 1: on the left here Rob, Babushka lady, right, I'm certainly.
- 2:24:11Speaker 1: And on the right side, oh, here we go, here
- 2:24:15Speaker 1: Babushka Lady, which is a more further out shot. Rights,
- 2:24:21Speaker 1: she has crossed Elms Street. And you might ask yourself, Rob,
- 2:24:26Speaker 1: what time is this photo? Well, Alex had actually synced
- 2:24:38Speaker 1: up other photographs from different photographers from the right here
- 2:24:43Speaker 1: that looked towards the The clock on the top of
- 2:24:47Speaker 1: the TSBD twelve forty is the timestamp on this. So
- 2:24:54Speaker 1: about ten minutes after the assassination, the Bubushka lady has
- 2:24:57Speaker 1: crossed Elm Street. She's down the the other side she
- 2:25:00Speaker 1: went up kind of with the crowd towards the grassy
- 2:25:02Speaker 1: knoll and then came back down a little bit. It's
- 2:25:08Speaker 1: about twelve forty. It doesn't seem to me if you're
- 2:25:12Speaker 1: really involved in a plot in the assassination to hang
- 2:25:18Speaker 1: around at this point. There's chaos everywhere. You use that
- 2:25:21Speaker 1: opportunity if you're even a decent operator covert operator pun
- 2:25:28Speaker 1: intended to slip away.
- 2:25:31Speaker 3: Right, You don't your camera in your hand like that
- 2:25:35Speaker 3: for of the world to see. You probably put it
- 2:25:37Speaker 3: in her pocket or something.
- 2:25:40Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, why hang around unless you're I mean,
- 2:25:44Speaker 1: I guess you could make an argument and she's photographing
- 2:25:47Speaker 1: the aftermath. I don't see that. If you're part of
- 2:25:50Speaker 1: a plot, you get out of there during the chaos.
- 2:25:52Speaker 3: Right, Oh, definitely make a camera go.
- 2:25:55Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, So I want to thank mister Alex
- 2:26:02Speaker 1: Harris for sending me some of this stuff, and it
- 2:26:07Speaker 1: just it's interesting because we touched on this a little
- 2:26:11Speaker 1: in the members only. I think you got this email
- 2:26:13Speaker 1: and afforded to me about this coming up again with
- 2:26:20Speaker 1: the camera gun, and it's been an email and it's
- 2:26:23Speaker 1: had an Education Forum thread, and I thought it would
- 2:26:26Speaker 1: go well with your segment of exploring cameras to kind
- 2:26:30Speaker 1: of debunk the fact that I think I am ninety
- 2:26:34Speaker 1: nine point nine percent sure that the Babushka lady did
- 2:26:37Speaker 1: not have a camera gun and that most likely she
- 2:26:43Speaker 1: was just some random person that probably didn't want to
- 2:26:45Speaker 1: get involved in shit developed her her film. It was
- 2:26:51Speaker 1: probably terrible and it's probably sitting in some drawer in
- 2:26:55Speaker 1: Dallas or Shreevepoord or somewhere.
- 2:26:58Speaker 3: Right.
- 2:27:01Speaker 1: Ah, so interesting shit, right, totally.
- 2:27:07Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of camera.
- 2:27:10Speaker 1: Shenanigans going on, for sure. I'm going to catch up
- 2:27:16Speaker 1: on some comments here. Yes, sir uh oh, Paula said
- 2:27:24Speaker 1: earlier she got her bag just in time to bring
- 2:27:28Speaker 1: it home.
- 2:27:29Speaker 3: Oh no, oh no, it didn't totally lose it altogether.
- 2:27:34Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I'm sure all the either dresses or
- 2:27:39Speaker 1: outfits she had planned for maybe a nice signed out
- 2:27:42Speaker 1: in New York City, she had to wear I Love
- 2:27:46Speaker 1: NY T shirt.
- 2:27:50Speaker 3: And a whole new wardrobe. She needed a whole nother
- 2:27:52Speaker 3: suitcase to come back from New York with.
- 2:27:54Speaker 1: Hey, it's an excuse to shop, Paula if nothing else. Yeah,
- 2:28:02Speaker 1: then so the okay, James says, so the inventor was os.
- 2:28:15Speaker 1: It's reference that the OAS had a gun like.
- 2:28:17Speaker 3: This, I do find yeah feasibly Again, you can make
- 2:28:25Speaker 3: a camera, a box camera into a gun. Anybody could anyway.
- 2:28:31Speaker 1: Yeah, And the email said the CIA would have been
- 2:28:35Speaker 1: much more equipped to build a device like this. That's say,
- 2:28:39Speaker 1: you know, French intelligence.
- 2:28:41Speaker 3: Or especially using a box camera. I mean, you could
- 2:28:43Speaker 3: just gut the camera, stick a gun in the box,
- 2:28:48Speaker 3: you know what I mean, take the lens out and
- 2:28:51Speaker 3: point it and shoot right. You have to make some
- 2:28:55Speaker 3: crazy mechanical contraption, you know what I'm saying, Robert.
- 2:28:58Speaker 1: But how close would you have to be if you could, say,
- 2:29:01Speaker 1: assume that Pubushka lady had a camera gun. Say she's
- 2:29:05Speaker 1: what twenty thirty feet away from the president as he
- 2:29:08Speaker 1: passes by. One shot, a couple of shots. Maybe you
- 2:29:13Speaker 1: say it's tipped with cyani and whatever. Doesn't seem like
- 2:29:19Speaker 1: the most efficient way.
- 2:29:21Speaker 3: No, I mean I think that theory can pretty much
- 2:29:23Speaker 3: be tossed aside.
- 2:29:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too.
- 2:29:30Speaker 3: Oh my god, my crooked wan is back to what
- 2:29:39Speaker 3: it's been months. Contrary to popular belief, it is not crooked.
- 2:29:47Speaker 3: It is straight, is an arrow, it's not not banana shape.
- 2:29:55Speaker 3: It is straight as an arrow, Yeah, like the mighty
- 2:29:59Speaker 3: hammer of thor Yeah.
- 2:30:02Speaker 1: Uh NK says. Outlier theory is that she was Marita Lorenz. Well,
- 2:30:10Speaker 1: Marina Lorenz never said that for whether it's worth or
- 2:30:15Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, her daughter h.
- 2:30:19Speaker 3: Never said Yeah, I think that's a crazy talk. Yeah,
- 2:30:24Speaker 3: because I think her story is they they took her
- 2:30:26Speaker 3: back to Miami. She didn't hang around in Dallas.
- 2:30:30Speaker 1: Well, if you believe her story, you know everyone was transferred,
- 2:30:34Speaker 1: you know, in cars, not knowing their their target, you know,
- 2:30:38Speaker 1: given it to them for the last second type of thing.
- 2:30:41Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, but they sent her back according to her story, Yeah,
- 2:30:49Speaker 3: shape like Elm Street, very sharp left turn. But you
- 2:30:58Speaker 3: know what, they can still hit that spot.
- 2:31:02Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. And you know when it comes to the
- 2:31:04Speaker 1: Babushka lady, I was thinking about this, What is the
- 2:31:10Speaker 1: percentage of people we know and can identify and deal
- 2:31:13Speaker 1: with pousa? It has to be like ninety eight percent
- 2:31:15Speaker 1: almost everyone we can identify it, right, you look at
- 2:31:20Speaker 1: you look at prayer Man, the people on the steps,
- 2:31:23Speaker 1: and the publishing ladies, you know, the witnesses, the people
- 2:31:28Speaker 1: you know, Gordon Arnold. I mean you could, but there's
- 2:31:34Speaker 1: going to be a couple that you're not going to
- 2:31:36Speaker 1: be able to identify, just statistically, right. And I think
- 2:31:41Speaker 1: a lot of our conspiratorial and curious mind and our
- 2:31:45Speaker 1: imaginations go to, like, whoa, what if she was this?
- 2:31:49Speaker 1: What if she was a raw child? What if she
- 2:31:51Speaker 1: has some super super secret gun that has never been photographed.
- 2:31:57Speaker 1: I'm not ruling it out, but it's a stretch for me.
- 2:32:00Speaker 3: You know, yes, tiny recent that email, I don't remember
- 2:32:04Speaker 3: that at all. Dark complexed man wearing two cameras at
- 2:32:09Speaker 3: Parkland recent an email?
- 2:32:11Speaker 1: Yes, please, I think I know that picture. But you
- 2:32:17Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like the mind when there's a
- 2:32:20Speaker 1: mystery and you can't identify someone, like the imagination just
- 2:32:23Speaker 1: goes crazy, right, And I think the result is these
- 2:32:28Speaker 1: type of theories and the more Awkham's raiser explanation as
- 2:32:34Speaker 1: she was a random girl and a lady and her
- 2:32:39Speaker 1: pictures weren't anything at the time, and no one paid
- 2:32:42Speaker 1: attention to her. And you can't blame her for not
- 2:32:46Speaker 1: coming forward and getting involved in this whole mess either.
- 2:32:51Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that that's I hadn't heard that story before,
- 2:32:54Speaker 3: and that's an interesting one for sure. And everybody hates
- 2:32:57Speaker 3: on Gary Mack from being turning into this deep bunking
- 2:33:01Speaker 3: learn nutter in his later years. But you know he did,
- 2:33:05Speaker 3: he did some good work in the eighties and he
- 2:33:08Speaker 3: was legit there for a while.
- 2:33:09Speaker 1: And mm hmm.
- 2:33:11Speaker 3: He was in the right place to hear a lot
- 2:33:14Speaker 3: of these stories, you know, in Dallas and A certainly
- 2:33:19Speaker 3: sounds like a plausible, more plausible scenario than a lot
- 2:33:23Speaker 3: of the other bublushka lady theories that we run into, Joe.
- 2:33:30Speaker 1: So that is all I have, sir, And thank you
- 2:33:32Speaker 1: again to Alex Harris for her giving some context into.
- 2:33:37Speaker 3: This matter, yes, or or him give me some context
- 2:33:40Speaker 3: in this matter?
- 2:33:41Speaker 1: Did I say her? Yes?
- 2:33:44Speaker 3: He did?
- 2:33:45Speaker 1: I think I was like clear in my throat. It's
- 2:33:48Speaker 1: a he does so long here No, but we we
- 2:33:54Speaker 1: love Alexanda.
- 2:33:55Speaker 3: Thank you again, sir, Yes, thank you Alex, Thank you sir.
- 2:33:59Speaker 3: All Right, folks. At the end of this epically long
- 2:34:02Speaker 3: Loncoming Podcast episode number three forty two, the mini cameras
- 2:34:09Speaker 3: of Lee Harvey Oswald and thank you guys for hanging

- 2:35:21Speaker 5: The quotation is Jim Garrison's. It could be used for
- 2:35:24Speaker 5: him or against all this strange case.
