[542] Final Judgment 638
Another long-time international intelligence adventurer, Colonel Robert
K. Brown (now best known as the publisher of Soldier of Fortune
magazine) was himself reportedly a Chicago Police Department infiltrator
in the Chicago branch of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee around the same
time that Lee Harvey Oswald was running around in New Orleans. This is
interesting, too, in that Brown himself has long-time connections to Israeli
intelligence. I would be thrilled to see someone follow through on that little
tidbit that seems to have gone right by the JFK assassination researchers.
This matter of "defectors" and "infiltrators" and "undercover agents" is
very complex and one can't always determine the motivations of someone
operating in this unusual netherworld. It's a combination of personal
psychology coupled with the ability of the handlers to manipulate a person's
activities without letting them know who they are working for or why.
What role did George DeMohrenschildt, the White Russian
nobleman often said to be Lee Harvey Oswald's "CIA babysitter" in
Dallas, play in the assassination conspiracy?
The colorful DeMohrenschildt is probably one of the most interesting
characters to cross the stage in the drama known as the JFK assassination
controversy. I'm not convinced that DeMohrenschildt was a conscious
player in any assassination conspiracy.
It's apparent that DeMohrenschildt did have quite a bit of contact and
interplay with the CIA and other intelligence agencies over the years and he
evidently did speak with a CIA official who asked him to keep an eye on
Oswald when the latter came to Dallas after returning from the Soviet
Union. In this particular instance, however, it could have been a routine
matter of no great consequence that, in the end, had absolutely nothing to do
with the assassination itself.
As we've noted, because of Oswald's "defector" status—whether
genuine or not—the intelligence agencies had an obvious interest in
Oswald. I have seen no evidence to suggest that DeMohrenschildt had any
foreknowledge of any conspiracy to "sheep dip" Lee Harvey Oswald for the
purposes of the assassination conspiracy per se. However, it is probable that
DeMohrenschildt did indeed function in some capacity as one of those who
were part of the conspiracy to manipulate Oswald into the role of patsy. So
in that sense, he was "baby-sitting" Oswald, but there were others who also
had that same responsibility.
Remember that Oswald had left Dallas for New Orleans in the summer
of 1963 and the actual contact between Oswald and DeMohrenschildt ended
even earlier when DeMohrenschildt left the country, ostensibly for business
in Haiti. Some have suggested that DeMohrenschildt's activities in Haiti
may have had something to do with the JFK assassination, but I have yet to
see any firm evidence of that. Obviously, however, when DeMohrenschildt
went to Haiti his immediate control and/or supervision of Oswald came to
an end. There were others who picked up that responsibility.
I find it interesting, though, that while JFK assassination researchers go
hog-wild over DeMohrenchildt's ties with the CIA they often pass by the
