There are reasons to believe Lee Harvey Oswald was a paid informant of the FBI, but never any money trail to prove it.

Whatever payments were made, were off the books, under the counter, and most likely cash hand-offs.

Oddly enough, he lived the life of a poor man. Not indigent, or homeless, but just above the edge. Average.

Could that have been part of his cover?

As far as anyone knows, there was very little left to Marina and their children, June & Rachel, after his death.

 

An assassination attempt on President Kennedy in Chicago, Illinois was foiled because an informant known only as ‘Lee’ had called the FBI headquarters in Washington, DC and told them what was being planned.

But the official story tells us that a cleaning lady had found rifles in a hotelroom rented by four men and alerted the police.

Probably because this finding was so close to a scheduled presidential visit, the Chicago Police Department then called the FBI, who in turn notified the Secret Service.

Four men were arrested, four high powered hunting rifles were conviscated, and the presidential visit to 'the Windy City' was cancelled.

But … the four men were released, the weapons disappeared, no arrest record exists, and the FBI suddenly became deaf, dumb, and blind. But that the FBI contacted the Secret Service and suggested to cancel the Chicago trip is a fact.

Because the trip was eventually scrapped from the schedule under the guise of "political emergency”.

This, by itself, is proof that something was going on.

 

In the mean time, the FBI didn't share any information with the press as to the real reason of the trip cancellation.

This would have, most likely, been by order of J. Edgar Hoover. What Hoover said, his agents did.

On one side the FBI seems to be a very sincere agency, determined to uphold the law, protect its commander-in-chief, and do what’s right.

On the other side there’s a very sinister band of people who will stop at nothing to protect their Director and the intergrity of the bureau, and who harbor ill will against ALL who oppose them.

 

Guy Banister was one of those agents who was known for being a hard-nosed heavy hitter, the kind of agent who could get things done by any means necessary. That reputation earned him respect within the bureau, as well as in his home town of New Orleans.

This was also the home town of D.A. Jim Garrison, who seemed to believe that Banister knew Lee Oswald.

Garrison said to have uncovered proof that Banister was associated with David Ferrie.

Ferrie, oddly enough, just happened to be in the same unit with Oswald in the Civil Air Patrol back in 1955.

Remarkably the Civil Air Patrol was co-founded by D.H. Byrd, owner of the building at 411 Elm Street in Dallas, TX,

in which the Texas School Book Depository is located

​

 

But then Garrison also claims to have proof, provided by Banister’s former partner Jack Martin, that right there in the heart of the intelligence community of New Orleans, Ferrie and anti-Castro Cuban exiles were unloading weapons from trucks and stocking them in Banister’s private detective office.

Banister might have been known for being a ruthless bastard, but even he wouldn’t have had the courage to allow that.

Especially since it was possible that Hoover still had a firm grip on him.

Ferrie and Banister might have been associated, but just because two people know each other, doesn’t necessarily mean they have the same interests. It’s far-fetched at best.

​​

One thing is certain, if Banister was involved with Ferrie, who was in turn involved in a plot to kill the President of the United States, there’s no way his experience would allow Oswald to get too close.

In a world like that, trust needs to be earned and established before too much information is shared with the wrong people.

The fact that Oswald and Banister both rented spaces in the same office building at the same time, in New Orleans, but had separate addresses and entrances doesn’t necessarily link them as associates.

And we know this because at one time, and the reason for this is something only Oswald knew, was that Banister’s address once appeared as the mailing address on Oswald’s Fair Play for Cuba Committee (FPCC) leaflets.

According to Jack Martin, Banister wasn’t very happy with that.

Whether or not Banister confronted Oswald about this is unknown, but the address never showed up on his leaflets again.

It is, however, peculiar at the very least, that both Banister and Oswald were associated with Ferrie.

It’s not unthinkable that the three men would meet at least once.

​

David Ferrie was a sketchy character, with a very dark background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Garrison claims he told him that he wanted to be a priest, but that he was defrocked when they found out he was gay.

Ferrie apparently also told him he was a pilot for Eastern Airlines, but that somehow Ferrie’s regular life became over-shadowed by his ability to be a militant for hire with CIA covert training, and that his team was selected to carry out 'Operation Mongoose', which was a CIA black-op fully focused on assassinating Fidel Castro, and to squeeze the communist regime out of Cuba.

​

He told Garrison that the FBI had one of their training camps closed, and that all their weapons and ammunition had been seized.

But that this was all a smoke screen to indulge the people in Washington.

Because of all these fantastic little details, it became difficult to believe anything Garrison reported, and even more difficult to believe Ferrie. Then, when one reads about Ferrie’s untimely death (his so-called suicide), one can’t help but wonder if what Ferrie was telling might not have had some truth to it, and that whomever killed him, or had him killed, was not at all happy that Ferrie had talked to Garrison.

Or, for that matter, to anyone else.

Because in a town like ‘The Big Easy’, all the big players know each other.

And word gets out faster than you can spit.

If Banister was one of the bad guys, then he sure as hell knew that Ferrie had talked to Garrison.

One way or the other.

 

The big question is of course … did Ferrie have anything to do with the assassination in Dallas?

And if he did, did he share that with Garrison as well?

That Ferrie and Oswald knew each other is a known fact, though this might not have been the case back in 1962 and 1963.

Even if Banister knew that Ferrie and Oswald were old buddies, it wouldn’t have given him reason to trust Oswald.

Or share any information with him at all.

Ferrie, on the other hand, might have shared a bit more information with Oswald than he was allowed to, perhaps hoping Lee would join the cause. Which he might have. In the background.

If Ferrie knew what Banister could be like, and there is no need to think otherwise, then Ferrie would have known to keep Oswald in the background as much as possible.

In any case, it would have been dangerous for Oswald to pass on information to the FBI regarding any activities he might have seen around Banister’s office. Because I think Banister would have found out.

A guy like him would still have a few friends in the bureau who would have informed him.

So this might be the reason why the Dallas plot was never reported by 'Lee' and subsequently foiled.

They might have been on to him.

​

Oswald's connection with FBI agent James Hosty, and Gordon Shanklin's apparent hurry to hide any links to between Hosty and Oswald, will always stand out as evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was not just another nut who threatened an FBI agent and got away with it.
