The Eighth Naval District

Tennessee is in the 8TH.... Hmmmm

When Oswald was placed into the Reserves, he was attached to the 9th Naval District - though the 8th was the one you would expect for him.

Why?

Interesting. I'll have a look into it.

“In the 1930s the Ninth Naval District had organized reserve intelligence teams to ferret out intelligence on radicals and pacifists. In 1960, while Marine G-2 and ONI shuffled their Oswald records, Glenview Naval Air Station played host to a five day school of the Christian Anti-Communist Crusade of Dr. Fred Schwarz…”

Schwarz re the assassination:

Bingo! Once again, he is associated with an entity with a history of anti-subversive activity. 

His own "delinquency" ( a trait suspected of being a possible precursor to radicalization) started from his 13th birthday and ended with John Pic leaving the anti-subversive PSU. Then onto New Orleans and an association with the CAP unit led by Ferrie who was involved in organizing CAP's own anti-subversion unit. 

Then on separation from the USMC into the USMCR, he is attached not to the ND of his home state or state of former residence as we should expect to see, he is attached to one that has a history of anti-subversion intelligence activity.*

IMO, here is who ultimately sent Oswald over to the Soviet Union - on a mission specifically requested by Ike (and ultimately betrayed by the CIA who had been charged with mission support functions). "On Dec 28, 1955, NCS 5412/2 took the policy approval function away from the OCB and placed it where it now resides, in the hands of State, Defense and the designated representative of the President." Note that Treasury is ever present in the background - i.e. Percival Flack Brundage of Albert Schweitzer College fame.

I will accept his attachment to the 9th as non-suspicious if someone can explain to me why it would/could happen. 

Reservists were (I am told by a reliable source) commonly used in Cold War intelligence missions. Marguerite herself claimed Lee was in Russia as an anti-subversive agent - which is an understandable misconception on Marguerite's part given Lee's attachment/proximity to anti-subversion activity from the age of 13, and possibly not really understanding all the possible terminologies.

Hasan and Greg... brilliant, concise, and compelling and.....wow.

Yep...more of that "new fresh research..." for ya!

From Hosty's Church Committee testimony:

Hosty: There is no ONI in Dallas. The ONI in New Orleans serves the Dallas area.
Schweiker: It serves the whole area?
Hosty: Yes, Sir; I think that's the 9th Naval District. They have a branch in Dallas, but it's not an office of record.

-------------
If I understand this correctly, the 9th Naval District - based in Chicago - was where ONI was HQ. As such, they had branches in the HQ of other Naval District HQ's, which in turn had sub-offices in other cites they covered.

So... ONI in New Orleans and Dallas both answer to the 9th Naval District in Chicago to which Oswald had been attached.

Oswald never picked up Marxism in New York (that will be thoroughly debunked in volume 3 - the whole story of it was purloined from historical fact in another famous case). He was learning under instruction from Ferrie. In fact, if you read the FBI reports of his NO acquaintances, it is clear he was trying to entrap them in exactly the same manner as informants who help for example the FBI entrap people - inveigling them to attend Communist group meetings.

Thanks, Stan and Jake. Good stuff, Greg. As you write in your book, the PSU worked with the FBI and the ONI in "ridding Ports of subversive elements." Hmmm... a bit like Oswald and his involvement with the FPCC. I just know there are idiots out there who will dismiss it as being irrelevant. Fuck em!

Do you think that the documents to be released in 2017 might shed some light on Oswald's ONI connections?

Possibly, Vinny, but I'm not holding my breath...
