Priscilla McMillan on Oswald, Hegel, Freud and the number 3
Peter Fokes
"Marina did have a key that helped her to understand the reason why.
It went back to November 21, the day before the assassination, when,
as she was to recall later. Lee HAD DONE EVERYTHING IN THREES. That
afternoon he tried to kiss her three times, and the third time she
reluctantly acceded. But the memorable thing had been his asking her,
three times, to move in to Dallas with him "soon." If she agreed, he
would find an apartment "the next day." And three times Marina
refused.
Marina knew that her husband attributed an altogether magical
significance to the number three and was obsessed by it. She
remembered that one year earlier, on November 11, 1962, when the
DeMohrenschildts took her away from Lee because of the violence toward
her, then, too, he had begged her three times not to leave him, but
after the third time he gave up. And the bottom right-hand corner of
the Fair Play for Cuba Committee card on which he had asked her to
forge the name "A.J. Hidell" the previous summer, he had written the
number "33," to signify that he was the thirty-third member of the
fictitious chapter -- still another sign of the power he attached to
the number three.
Marina had known of the peculiar importance which her husband
attached to the number three from the outset of their marriage when
Lee often used to sneak off to see the film version of the opera based
on Pushkin's short story, "The Queen of Spades." ....
Marina believes that on the evening of November 21, Lee was again
seized by the fantasy that he was Hermann. That is why he asked her
three times if he might kiss her and three times if she would move in
with him to Dallas. Like Hermann, he staked his life of three cards.
And, like Hermann, he lost."
p. 572
In a footnote, McMillan adds:
The number three is, indeed, conceded to have a universal symbolic
meaning, since it crops up in nearly every form of human expression:
in religion, mythology, folklore and literature. In psychoanalysis,
the number is frequently taken to be a castration symbol. Freud called
it "symbolic of the whole male genitalia." In the Christian religions,
the number signifies a splitting apart, the separation of a whole into
three parts and unification into one, as in the Holy Trinity, "the
Three in One, the One in Three. " Still another example, one closer to
Oswald, perhaps, is the "thesis, antithesis and synthesis" (by which
the German historian Hegel, the forerunner of Marxist philosophy,
believed the forward movement of history is determined.)"
p. 632 and (hehe) >> 633 <<.
Inside joke by PM??
Too bad she wasn't with Oswald on the SS Maasdam. He could have used
her knowledge of THREES to help him with his own "writings".
Anyway, now we know why Oswald shot JFK on Nov 22, 1963.
Forget clippings about his antics in New Orleans, forget about his
letters here, there and everywhere. Forget that he said the CIA was
"defunct". All of no importance.
The real key is the DATE:
Nov = 11
Day = 22
Total= 33
And can there be any doubt at all whether he fired 2 times or 3
times??
Not a chance!

Guess what room Oswald stayed in at the Hotel Metropole in Moscow?
Room 233
Priscilla McMillan's room was on the third floor, one floor above
Oswald's room.
See Marina and Lee by P. J. McMillan p. 86.

Although Priscilla interviewed Marina at length in 1964 (the only
"journalist" to gain access to Oswald's widow), Marina came to realize she
had been used by Priscilla. For starters, the book was supposed to be a
joint effort, with equal credit given (as in the case of books told to
professional writers such as by the late Jean Hill and Beverly Oliver),
and was expected to be published in 1965, not 1977! Having written
extensively about PJM for "The Third Decade/The Fourth Decade" (which
started out as a manuscript to be attached to the late Michael Eddowes'
book he was working on in the late 1980s), I asked Marina (and her
husband, Ken Porter), about PJM, at a cocktail party that preceded the
1993 Sudbury, Ontario conference I attended - Marina and Ken were special
guests, invited by the co-ordinating group at Laurentian University.
Both of them were quite bitter in the feelings towards PJM, whom they no
longer trusted, and believed she had been associated for some time with
the CIA (which other journalists, including Aline Mosby, suspected was the
case prior to the assassination).

related articles, they are available at Clint Bradford's site:

And yes, it doesn't end there ... Bringuier let the cat out of the bag
when he told us that 3 days later at 3 o'clock, Oswald was parading
around with a VIVA FIDEL sign ...
There's that ominous "33" again!

I must admit I overlooked my reference to "three"; thanks for pointing
it out, Greg. Actually, my series was originally a 76-page manuscript
(with no footnotes, which I later had to ascertain), which included a
portion that became "Did Oswald Come Back?" at Jerry Rose's suggestion
(it was obviously too long to be included in TTD, and Jerry always
insisted on footnotes, of course, being a university professor. I've
always wondered whatever happened to Michael Eddowes incomplete
manuscript for the book he was writing in the late 1980s (he died
before completing it). One of his sons might have it. - Peter R.

Puppetmaster: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover by Richard Hack:
<quote on>
Convinced, Nixon moved to capitalize on the publicity opportunity
inherent in the director’s funeral. Awash with enthusiasm to gain the
greatest television exposure possible as part of his reelection
campaign strategy, the president informed Kleindienst that he wanted
Hoover to be afforded a “proper and dignified state funeral,” complete
with live coverage on all three commercial networks plus public
television. Little consideration was paid to Hoover’s prior request to
be buried in a Masonic ceremony, nor was any regard given to Helen
Gandy, who had begun to make arrangements with the Supreme Council,
33°, Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, headquartered on Sixteenth Street
NW. Rather, the mood at the White House was one of cautious
celebration, a time for the president to publicly mourn the nation’s
loss of a legend while privately planning to regain long-sought
control of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
