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 Authorization withdrawn at 1103."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.
