The File That Was Buried Under Someone Else’s Name

The 2025 release revealed an internal misfile in a CIA logistics box marked “ALBANIA OPS 1961.”

Inside was a memo stamped NOVEMBER 24 1963 - two days after the assassination - and the subject line read: “Oswald Transfer Not Executed.”

It was buried under the wrong name. And the wrong war.


📄 Not Supposed To Be There

The memo was tucked inside a Cold War operation file completely unrelated to Dallas, Oswald, or anything domestic. It was labeled:

“Joint Tactical Coordination – Tirana Cell”

But the memo inside wasn’t about Albania. It was about a cancelled extraction of a field asset believed to be compromised after a public shooting.

The name on the asset line is redacted.

But the initials LHO appear in the margin.


🔁 An Extraction That Never Happened

The memo references an “abort protocol activated post-ident exposure.”

It also says:

“Original plan rerouted to ASIASTAFF terminal via non-standard courier. Authorization withdrawn at 1103.”

That time - 11:03 AM, Nov 22 - is minutes before JFK’s motorcade rolled through Dealey Plaza.


📋 Crossed Wires Or Intentional Obfuscation

Why was a domestic event logged in an overseas operations file?

According to a 2025 CIA review note attached to the file:

“Possible intentional misclassification. Origin of placement unknown.”

The signature on the original memo?

D. Hardin - a name that doesn’t appear in any known assassination investigation files.

Until now.


🗂️ They Filed It Wrong Because It Didn’t Belong Anywhere

This wasn’t meant to be found.

Not in a Dallas file.

Not in a Mexico file.

It was in a Cold War theater archive that had nothing to do with Oswald - unless Oswald was never meant to be found at all.
