In reply to the discussion: CIA director withheld information about JFK assassination [View all]eridani
(51,907 posts)56. The Murder of JFK, Part 2: Counterfeit ID Planted in Oswald's Wallet?
http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/33005-the-murder-of-jfk-part-2-counterfeit-id-planted-in-oswalds-wallet
Here, I pose another question: Was a phony identification card for Alek Hidell inserted into the wallet after Oswalds arrest? Alek Hidell was the name used to order the rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository the day JFK was killed.
Listen here to Dallas Police Department Officer Gerald Hill discuss the capture of Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22, 1963. [Editors note: to cut to the chase, go to 3:17 in the audio file.]
Listen for what Hill does not say:
He does not say anything about Hidell or an identification card.
Is this omission significant? I think it is.
My previous article recounted the details. FBI agent Bob Barrett said he saw Oswalds wallet in the hands of DPD Captain Pinky Westbrook at the scene of the murder of Dallas police office J.D. Tippit on November 22, 1963.
The article also recounted that the arresting officer, Paul Bentley, told a different story. Bentley said he found Oswalds wallet while frisking him in the police car after leaving the Texas Theatre, where Oswald was arrested on November 22.
Both men say that the wallet contained identification cards for both Lee Harvey Oswald and Alek Hidell.
So was Oswald carrying the Alek Hidell ID in his wallet when he was arrested?
He had not been previously seen using the ID card, or the Hidell alias. Oswald wasnt carrying a Hidell ID card in his wallet three months before in August 1963 when he was arrested in New Orleans for fighting with Cuban exiles disturbed by his pro-Castro activism. After his arrest, Oswald said he was in touch with a fellow Castro supporter named Hidell, which was a lie.

No. Neither were the CIA-Mafia assassination contracts on Castro and Cuban leadership.
