12. The identity of the reporter asking the Walker question
"On November 23, 1963 Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry held a news conference that was filmed by ABC affiliate WFAA TV in Dallas. Curry was telling reporters about the rifle found by Dallas Police when an unidentified individual interrupted Curry and asked a question that was completely out of context. This person asked, "Is there any connection yet between this and the firing at Major General Walker?" By using the phrase "any connection yet," this unidentified person seemed to be challenging Chief Curry and the Dallas Police to establish a connection between the Walker shooting and the assassination of President Kennedy. On November 24, the morning after Chief Curry's press conference, General Walker was in Shreveport, Louisiana. He was telephoned by Hasso Thorsten, a reporter from the West German newspaper Deutsche National Zeitung, which was published in Munich, West Germany. Thorsten asked Walker about the shooting incident and attempted to elicit from Walker a statement to the effect that Oswald was the man who had shot at him. Warren Commission attorney Liebeler asked Walker if he had told the German reporter that Oswald had shot at him. Walker said, "No; I did not. I wouldn't have known it. It was much later that they began to tie Oswald into me, and I didn't even know it yet." On November 29 the Deutsche National Zeitung published an article entitled, "The Strange Case of Oswald." The article was allegedly based on the telephone interview with General Walker and reported that Walker said it was Oswald who shot at him. But Walker told the Warren Commission, "I was very surprised to see this article." Commission attorney Liebeler agreed and said, "I am somewhat puzzled by the whole thing, because the newspaper in which this apparently appeared is dated November 29 and, in fact, that information (that Oswald may have been involved) was not known to anybody that I know of until a later date than that ..... several days, at any rate. "
(Armstrong, Harvey & Lee, s.509/510)
"Is there any connection yet between this and the firing at Major General Walker?"
Who is the 'psychic' reporter that asks this question on November 23?
You can hear the question around 6:15 but you cannot see the reporter.

Something I can add to this.... Our dear Mrs. Paine, working it from the other side:
Houston Post, Nov. 24, 1963
Rifle was Stored in The Garage at Irving
by Jim Criswell
excerpt..
[Ruth] Paine said: "If he killed the President that was a fanatical act... But before that I would not have called him a fanatic.
But if it was a rational act I would have thought he would've shot at Gen. Edwin A Walker or something like that."

While Marina was 'spilling the beans' about her murdered husband's supposed plans to shoot
General Walker, Ruth Paine sent her a Russian-language book which just happened to contain
a handwritten letter/note to Marina, undated, with instructions what to do in case (Lee)
was arrested.
But that was much later.
Someone commented on the Youtube-video and said that perhaps it was a reporter who had
covered the Walker-shooting that asked the question. Still, the phrasing 'is there any connection
yet ... ' would indicate that such a 'connection' was in the works.
The Paines would have been talking to reporters, indeed, during the weekend after the assassination.

Good one Arjan -that is key -- "any connection yet" --Walker was in April -Paine is now publicly hinting at it 11/24
let's leave this thread open for any other preclusions re: Walker - I think there are few more...will keep looking.

 Oswald (left) can be seen just for a second or two in the Martin-film. ( The Oswald Films: An Outline) Another Rosetta Stone of the assassination. Hypothetically it is possible that a Walker associate visits the general shortly after the shooting to film the bullet hole (the window through which the shot was fired, the bullet hole, and the wall from behind which it was most likely fired, ending with shots of Walker’s flag and mailbox, and a nearby building under construction allegedly also photographed by Oswald prior to the attempt) and then travels to New Orleans and happens to run into the Bringuier/Oswald street brawl, just in time to film that too. Possible, but very unlikely. That the Oswald/Bringuier brawl and the Walker shooting were part of the same operation is more likely. Bringuier, the hero, attacking the communist who tried to shoot general Walker? |
