The Depleted Patrols in Dallas on November 22, 1963
John Washburn article at Kennedysandking.com Read Here
The call that was mistranscribed as "Attention all squads, report to downtown area, Code 3 to Elm and Houston, with caution."
But the tape is 25:45 "All squads in the Downtown area, Code 3 to Elm and Houston with caution".
The word "in the" has been replaced with "Report to".This is Tippit's last call
It had a 12:54pm time stamp immediately before it.
37:28 "78" "78" "you are in the Oak Cliff area are you not? "Lansin' and 8th "
you'll be at large for any emergency that comes in" "10-4"
It was transcribed as Lancaster and 8th . It seems to be Lansin' and 8th
If anyone thinks that it is unique to Tippit then 12 minutes earlier there was this untranscribed call. Call sign 81 is Officer Angell
27:14 "81" "81 we're still Lansing and 8th" (12:42pm)
Lancaster is a city immediately south of Dallas
And these are
0:13 Proper pronunciation three clear syllables.
And to repeat Tippit. 37:28
he is not saying three syllables but "Lan-sin' ".
Lansing Street is two blocks west of North Lancaster Avenue.
Both in the same place mistranscribed in tippit's case. Missed out in Angell's.
Tippit's position was misrepresented. And the fact Angell had been in same place - also out of his district.
28:59 "I'm at Keist and er Bonnie" (12:45pm) This is not Tippit's voice. That is not the same voice as Tippit who said Lansin’ 8th.
And no officer says - I'm - its superfluous and breaks protocol of minimum speech.
Nelson 12:45pm immediately after Tippit.
29:03 this is not Nelson
23:00 "87 clear" "87 clear
12:40 Call sign 87 is Officer Nelson
35:09 "87, out down here"

Show #1284

Guests: Dan Hardway
Topics: The Lopez-Hardway Report

Dan, an attorney, worked with Edwin Lopez and Robert Blakey in the HSCA
This interview from 2017, show #822
The HSCA Lopez-Hardway Report, Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City
When Dan was getting too close to certain issues, CIA brought in George Joannides
Joannides covered-up David Phillips ' propaganda activities linking Oswald to Castro
Phillips was not rogue, possibly he was used from within the Agency
Dan did this work 40 years ago, he has not had the time to keep up with research
There was Intelligence involvement in setting up the cover-up in advance
Was CIA involved in the assassination? We tried not to speculate
Is CIA suspect? Yes. Evidence? Clearly enough to merit further investigation
The built-in function of plausible deniability, propaganda, black operations
Oswald could not have been set up better, very sophisticated, detail and coordination
OurHiddenHistory 's Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City audiobook
There is evidence Oswald went to Mexico City. Did he go? I don't know
Evidence, indications, testimony, records, questionable
A distinct possibility he could have been impersonated in Mexico City
The kind of details we get hung up in, in an Intelligence operation, we can expect
Pretty sure a photo was obtained and a tape recording survived, they ended up in Dallas
FBI saw a photo and heard a tape, neither one of them were of Oswald
Gary Cornwell wasn't very supportive of Dan and Eddie
Most HSCA staffers were at least agnostic on the issue of conspiracy
Eddie and Dan got a lot of insulation from Bob (Blakey )
Sprague and Tanenbaum , went in thinking they could act like prosecuting attorneys
A Congressional Investigation could not indict, did not have prosecutor authority
When it blew up, they left, a huge mess, doubt whether it would finish
What Blakey could do was produce a report and suggest legislation
Dan started in the dark, they found the basis of what the ARRB found and disclosed
Cover-up does not prove conspiracy, other possible motivations to cover-up
CIA admitted participating in a benign cover-up, Thank You Phil Shenon (10/2015)
Dan's blog, realhillbillyviews.blogspot.com
CIA was declassifying the Lopez-Hardway report at three days per four paragraphs
Someone, maybe CIA, made marginalia notes in the declassified draft
People plotting to kill Castro, could have been in on killing Kennedy
It takes painstaking work to pull out the threads and make the connections
It's now a historical rather then a forensic investigation
Select Committees are limited in time, purpose, and funding
Speculation, animosity about the King investigation, Southern congressman
Mickey Goldsmith , sharp, supportive, backed up Dan and Eddie with CIA
Our motto was "Reality is Irrelevant"
