The CIA, Mafia, Mexico — and Oswald, Part 6
By Peter Dale Scott
This is a complex story, as fascinating as it is appalling. It is about how the CIA and FBI suppressed a major clue to the existence of a pre-JFK-assassination conspiracy. And about how alleged evidence of Lee Harvey Oswald in Mexico was manipulated and altered by elements in the CIA and their Mexican clients, the Dirección Federal de Seguridad (DFS).

The World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRC) ends today in Geneva, Switzerland. An agreement was reached on the allocation of radio frequency spectrum to allow the use of satellites for real-time global flight tracking in civil aviation, which could help prevent a repeat of the “tragic loss” of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 in March 2014. Other issues related to civilian unmanned aircraft systems (drones) and radio spectrum allocation were also on the agenda. About this photo: Boeing 777 Malaysia Airlines.

Why CIA Is Using Paris to Smear Snowden (Russ)
“Bodies were still lying in the streets of Paris when CIA operatives began exploiting the resulting fear and anger to advance long-standing political agendas. They and their congressional allies instantly attempted to heap blame for the atrocity not on Islamic State but on several preexisting adversaries: Internet encryption, Silicon Valley’s privacy policies and Edward Snowden.”
