Bill Simpich over at the so-called JFK Assassination Debate - Education Forum is jumping for joy in a thread he titled "Two CI-SIG Files Are Linked: The FPCC/Oswald file and the Pepe Letters in the 1962 Plot to Kill JFK' file" because some researcher has shown that two files opened three years apart are . . . gasp . . . linked!
Simpich should calm down for a minute and re-read what John M. Newman wrote on page 397 of his 2008 book, “Oswald and the CIA”.
Here's an excerpt.
My comments are in brackets.
“The association of Oswald’s security number (351-164) with the 100-300-11 file denotes an Office of Security tie-in. They had been tracking Oswald all along and now had access to this [Fair Play for Cuba] file, too. Thus, it appears that it was Angleton’s CI/SIG which, in conjunction with the Office of Security [i.e., the office of Bruce Leonard Solie, CIA’s chief mole hunter and, according to Newman in his 2022 book, "Uncovering Popov's Mole," the probable KGB mole, himself] had all the pieces to the Oswald puzzle.”
Simpich poses the question -- Who so deviously changed the file number on a 10 September 1963 routing sheet ("right before Mexico City!!!")?
My money's on Bruce Leonard Solie (see above) -- the guy who, according to Newman and former CIA officer Tennent H. Bagley, "cleared" KGB false defector Yuri Nosenko in 1968 via a bogus polygraph exam and a specious report and who, according to Newman, probably sent Oswald to Moscow in 1959 to prevent himself (Solie) from being uncovered as a mole.
Here's an update, with commentary by me, of Bill "The CIA Did It" Simpich's chronicling, at the so-called Ed Forum, of his very frustrating recent travails.
Simpich posted:
I am chasing a machine listing of the files in Oswald's 201, [[it was supposedly provided to the WC on 2/20/64]], but I haven't found it. Peter Dale Scott said that the machine list was "missing" by 1978. ([[see footnote 26]]) One more "removed" document to fight about.
The 2/20/64 cover sheet does state: "[[A comparison of the documents physically available in the 201 file and those recorded as being in the 201 file]] have shown that 37 documents which should be in the 201 file are not available in it." That would indicate that Mexico City knew 37 files were missing from the file, if nothing more. All that Mexico City officials could see with their eyes was five documents. CI-SIG and maybe others had the rest.
But was that machine list real or fake? We won't know until we get it. It should still be in the CIA's files.
There are several listings of the files that do exist that are also rather slippery.
One is the [[3/6/64 letter sent to the Warren Commission]], which is apparently when the file got put back together.
The next is an [[inventory of documents sent to Warren Commission]] - this contains 29 pre-11/22 documents and 1 post-11/22 document. This inventory doesn't properly list all of the documents that were sent on a single day - in other words, two documents are sometimes counted as one.
[[The best inventory available follows]] - this one lists 42 pre-11/22 documents and 1 post-11/22 document.
. . . . . . .
My comments:
Perhaps the reason Bill can't find certain CIA files is best explained by what (JFKA CT!!!) researcher Malcolm Blunt has said over the past five years or so, i.e., that probable KGB mole Bruce Solie not only withheld certain files on Oswald from the Church Committee and the HSCA, but made Volume V of the Office of Security's files on the little sharpshooting self-described Marxist disappear . . . like forever . . . after the HSCA had taken a look at it.
I highly recommend that interested JFKA students watch this September 2021 YouTube interview by (boorish and inane) Bart Kamp in which Blunt talks about Solie quite a bit during the last half of the interview:
