Two weeks after JFK’s assassination, a mysterious package addressed to “Lee Oswald” surfaced in a dead-letter section of the Irving Post Office. The FBI quietly investigated it. Harry Holmes was at the center of it. And the Warren Commission barely mentioned it.

“THE MAN WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO KILL KENNEDY IN PARIS” A forgotten French exposé. A cancelled CBS investigation. And questions that never fully disappeared. Read the full story: open.substack.com/pub/thejfk… #JFKFiles #CIA #FBI #deGaulle #France #ColdWar #HistoryMatters

Calling JFK skepticism ‘lazy conspiracism’ is itself a lazy framing. Anyone who has spent time in the post-Warren record knows the case is filled with contradictions, intelligence intersections, withheld files, and unresolved evidence that serious historians continue to debate. Dismissing decades of documented research with a TV soundbite may work for cable commentary, but it’s not serious historical inquiry. #CNN #FBI #CIA #JFKFiles #JFKAssassination #HistoryMatters

Appreciate the shoutout this morning from @smerconish I’ve always been comfortable taking a contrarian position—but I never imagined Case Closed would be one of only a handful of books arguing Oswald acted alone, set against more than 2,000 claiming conspiracy. It’s a good reminder: history isn’t decided by volume or consensus. Thank goodness the truth isn’t a popular vote.

Seven months before the assassination, Dallas FBI informant “T-2” — later identified as postal inspector Harry Holmes — reported that Lee Harvey Oswald was distributing FPCC pamphlets in Dallas while wearing a “Hands Off Cuba — Viva Fidel” placard around his neck. Months before New Orleans. The strange role of Harry Holmes — and the mysterious Irving parcel tied to Oswald — is explored below 👇 #JFKFiles #CIA #FBI #JFKAssassination #HistoryMatters

“In July 1964, the Dallas Times Herald reported that Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby maintained post office boxes only feet apart inside the same terminal annex where Harry Holmes worked as a postal inspector.” Oh maryferrell.org/showDoc.html…

Before Dallas. Before Watergate. There was Paris. 1961: a shadowy plot against de Gaulle - with fingerprints that would show up again in Washington. The same names. The same playbook. And a story CBS wouldn’t tell.👇open.substack.com/pub/thejfk… #JFKFiles #CIA #FBI #deGaulle #ColdWar #JFKAssassination #HistoryMatters

Paris, 1961 wasn’t a footnote. It was the blueprint. And what it points to in 1963 is hard to ignore.
