Gabriel Gatehouse

And he's built the Mexico City station up into this huge,

huge surveillance operation and he's got agents everywhere right he's got them on the streets all the way up to the presidential palace so this guy had three successive mexican presidents on the cia payroll right so so that the president of mexico at the time of the world cup was a paid cia asset and

Scott basically had access to whole teams of Mexican security agents supplied to him by the Mexican interior ministry, whom he could deploy at his whim without having to ask for a buy or leave from the Mexicans themselves.

So they were deeply embedded in Mexico at the time.

And one of the reasons we know this, which is such a fantastic detail, is a lot of this stuff came out about Mexico City Station because of the Kennedy assassination, right?

So about six weeks before JFK is assassinated in Dallas, a certain Lee Harvey Oswald was

rocks up in Mexico City looking for a visa to go to the Soviet Union.

Now, of course, Winston Scott, having put in place the largest surveillance operation in the Western Hemisphere, is all over this guy, right?

He's photographing him.

He's bugging his phone calls.

He's got it all.

He's got it all.

And then when Kennedy's killed, of course, the official line from the CIA is, we didn't know anything about this guy.

Oswald wasn't on our radar at all.

And so Winston Scott, who knows this isn't true, is incensed, right?

Because his professional pride is at stake.

Here's the CIA saying that he, Winston Scott, missed this guy.

He's not going to miss this guy.

So

Not only were a lot of documents declassified from the CIA station during all the inquiries and investigations into the Kennedy assassination, but also this guy.
