Murder most foul, as in the best it is,
But this most foul, strange, and unnatural.
William Shakespeare

Act I, Scene V
DEDICATION
To Lee Harvey Oswald
For the heroic sacrifices he made in his efforts to save President Kennedys life at least three times, then making the ultimate sacrifice giving his life in one final attempt to save Kennedy.
To Lee Harvey Oswald, my dearest friend,
who gave his life for President John F. Kennedy,
and to his family, who need to know that their
husband and father was a brave, good man,
a patriot, and a true American hero
of whom they can be proud.
Judyth Vary Bakers dedication in her book, Me & Lee: How I came to know, love and lose Lee Harvey Oswald , Trine Day (2010).

W e add our deep appreciation to former CIA officer Donald Deneselya and researcher-activist Paul Kuntzler, who provided us with valuable information and insights.

He testified at the Church Committee, the Schweiker Sub-Committee and the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
The authors are pleased to also acknowledge the considerable contribution from Kris Millegan, publisher of Trine Day. Kris allowed us to use important sections from co-author Judyth Vary Bakers book, Me & Lee.

Meet Donald Deneselya
Donald Deneselya asking a question at a Paul Kuntzler JFK Assassination lecture.
I n November 1962, Don Deneselya was promoted from the Foreign Documents Division, Soviet Branch, to James Jesus Angletons Counterintelligence Clandestine Services. Angleton controlled the fates of many CIA operatives.
In 2010, Don began informing the authors about the CIAs past super-secretive component within the Agency, known to a very few insiders as the Domestic Operations Base (DOB). Donald Deneselya was one of those insiders. The DOB was a Covert Action Division, located in Alexandria, VA, approximately a one hour drive from the official CIA headquarters in Langley, VA. Another important, less secretive CIA component, the Domestic Operations Division (DOD), facetiously known as the Dirty Tricks Division, was founded in 1962 by Tracy Barnes.
Perry Crookham was the Chief of the DOB. He had come to the CIA from the U.S. Marines. Crookham remained in charge of the DOB until early to mid-1963, when he was replaced by Tracy Barnes. Barnes then remained in control of the DOD as well.
The Chief of the DOB oversaw all of the CIAs corporate assets such as INTERARMCO, a global armaments distribution company, Air America, a global illegal drug distribution company, and Zapata Offshore, the oil company associated with George H. W. Bush. Perry Crookhams deputy at the DOB, until Tracy Barnes took over, was William Rip Robertson. According to Deneselya, Barnes coordinated CIA-ordered assassinations on behalf of Richard Helms and Allen Dulles, and Robertson was involved.
Robertsons name is known among Kennedy assassination researchers, whereas Perry Crookhams existence remained hidden from history, unknown outside the CIA, until Donald Deneselya revealed his name and who he was to the authors. You will be hard-pressed to find mention of Crookham in any other book.
In 1975, Donald CIA in the mid-1970s.
Donald Deneselya told us he was interviewed by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), 1978-1979. The committee was unable to locate Oswalds debriefing report where it should have been filed, in the Industrial Registry Branch. In 1979, the HSCA concluded that there was no evidence that Oswald had ever been contacted by the CIA.
In 1993, CIA historian John Newman, working under contract for the PBS TV Frontline production, Who Was Lee Harvey Oswald? came across a newly-declassified CIA document with handwriting on it that read: Anderson OO on Oswald. In CIA jargon, OO is the symbol used for overt operations. The Oswald debriefing report should have been open, not a secret report. However, in reality, it was a secret report. Donald Deneselya was then brought in to respond to questions from Frontline , appearing on TV in shadow.
Before his transfer to Angletons Clandestine Services in November 1962, Deneselya had worked as a Russian translator in the Soviet (SR) branch of the Foreign Documents Division. Months after Oswalds return to the United States, Don found Oswalds debriefing report on his desk (Oswalds name was not on it). The report merely stated that a Marine defector who worked in the Minsk Radio Plant was returning with his family. There was nothing secretive about the Minsk Radio Plant, Don says. The CIA knew that no military electronics or weapons were produced there. The plant was a factory where workers manufactured radios and TVs for the Russian civilian population.
