those New Orleans photos of Oswald and the others doing leaflets...those are not new at all. They are very well known among us JFK conspiracy enthusiasts.
What is “new” is naming Rafeal in them (and by new, I mean in the last 5 years). The figure that sure looks like Rafeal was always “unidentified”.
A fascinating dynamic in all of this is how Ted became more a “Reagan conservative” and not a “Bush Republican” once he left the administration. So I guess his falling out with the Bush people is real, and likely the story that they didn’t like his arrogance is also real.
But interesting that the Bushes also have lost control over the next generation of CIA assets. It seems the threads that connect everyone are wearing out....which comports with other observations. Just like they are losing political muscle in the above ground political world. Sure Jeb raised the money...but his campaign? LOL.
Yes, the ties that bind have dwindled over time. It’s been far too long since GHWB had unfettered access and many of the key players have since retired or passed. Their replacements are not necessarily cooperative or acting in accordance with the understandings of prior administrations.
Specific to Rafael Cruz: due to the ongoing JFK research and newer miscellaneous testimonies revealed over time, his name has linked him to others involved and with particular activities.
And while he may have been “unidentifiable” to the public, all of these players have always been automatically identifiable to the agency.
Ted: he likely felt entitled to be Attorney General under the Bush Administration and was disillusioned with being just another WH attorney. The negative feelings towards Cruz from coworkers within the Bush Administration are quite real and public-on the record. Ted’s unbounded political ambition is the driving force behind his ‘constitutional conservative christian’ route. Besides, he knew he would have to differentiate himself from Jeb.
Had Trump not run or president, there is a very strong chance that Jeb would have prevailed. No one else would have had the nerve to challenge Bush and completely knock him out of the race. Certainly not Ted. There was still quite a bit of Bush influence around.
Note that the very same corrupted operatives in Maine that cheated for an impossible Cruz ‘win’ would have stolen their state for Jeb. Bush would have had his essential early caucus win and been well underway. That must have been a painful phone call to make - best thought of as a salvage operation. Steal it for Cruz.
