r/JFKassasination

There are some guys who are dead-beat dads and terrible dads. They have abandonned their kids. Oswald, on the other hand did his best to raise his two daughters along with Marina. He worked very hard for them and tried his best to be a good dad. When he was in jail he asked Marina if June got new shoes.

About racism, he was a piece of work but he wasn't racist at all which is probably rare for most people in the 50s and 60s.

I'm not taking side though. At the end of the day he was still a jerk.

My grandpa told me he worked at a vacuum cleaner repair shop within the vicinity of where Oswald was arrested in the theater and could recall cop cars flying down the neighborhood. Unfortunately he passed some years ago so I cannot ask him and I don’t recall the name of the business. I am needing help finding out where to look to try and determine his exact location when the assassination occurred I guess to get ah idea of how close he was to the theatre. I think maybe trying to find a city directory from 1963 would be a good start.

Ever seen it in slow motion? You can easily see he's shot from behind because of the blood splatter from the exit wound.

Still could've been anyone pulling the trigger,;I know it's an empty feeling to believe the official story.

I used to be all in on a conspiracy. My conviction was from them picking up his skull and brain from the trunk, but I've seen ballistic tests where a skull cracks from the entry wound, blood splatter is a giveaway where I could no longer believe in a shooter from the grassy knoll.

On August 9, 1963 Lee Harvey Oswald is arrested while handing out Pamphlets in front of the New Orleans International Trade Mart. The trade mart is owned by Clay Shaw, the target of Jim Garrisons investigation and a businessman revealed via declassified documents in the 1990s to be a CIA asset used in the Agencies Domestic Contact Services since 1948.

Oswald is joined by an unknown Cuban man and a young tourist Oswald hired off the street to hand out Pamphlets for an hour at over twice the minimum wage despite his alleged economic destitution.

The Pamphlets are part of Oswald’s fraudulent and fictitious Fair Play For Cuba Chapter, a national organization founded by prominent leftist intellectuals like James Baldwin which was being actively targeted by the CIA and FBI for its political activism against Americas hostile policies towards Cuba that nearly resulted in a Nuclear War. The national chapter of FPFC, did not give Oswald permission to form a New Orleans Branch and asked him not to.

The Pamphlets are marked with the name A. Hidell, the nonexistent President of the FPFC chapter, under whose name the alleged gun that Killed President Kennedy will be purchased.

The Pamphlets are also marked with the address of 544 Camp Street, the Office of ex-FBI SAC Guy Bannister, which was being used as a base of Operations for anti-communist operations and Anti-Castro organizations. Both Bannisters business associate and his Secretary claim to have regularly seen Oswald at this office.

Oswald is confronted by Carlos Bringuier and several other members of the Student Revolutionary Directorate or DRE, an anti-Castro Cuban group created, directed, and funded at the rate of $25,000 a month by the CIA under the cryptonym operation AMSPELL, whose goal was to destabilize Cuba and who spread anti-Castro media and Propaganda across The Americas.

This operation was Overseen by CIA officers David Arlene Phillips and George Joannides , who was in charge of Political and Psychological Warfare for the CIA based out of the CIA anti-Castro operations center known as J M WAVE. CIA cables declassified decades later revealed that Joannides personally approved AMSPELL budgets, directed their political strategy, and required the DRE leaders to clear all major press releases and public actions through him. 

Bringuier and Oswald get into a street scuffle and Oswald is arrested for disturbing the Peace and taken into custody by the NOPD. While in Police Custody Oswald requests to talk to the FBI despite his only needing $10 bail.

Oswald is met by FBI agent John Quigley who Oswald debriefs on the incident and his fictional FPFC chapter, representing Hidell as a separate person and claiming large membership levels. Oswald has his bail posted by his Mafia connected Uncle. Quigley destroys his notes.

Oswald is invited onto television and radios by an associate of Bringieur’s, William Kirk Stuckey, a host at WDSU who produced a Latin American affairs program called Latin American Focus. Stuckey would later testify to the HSCA that his Latin American reporting brought him into constant contact with exiles, military intelligence personnel, and federal agents operating out of New Orleans—a major intelligence hub for Caribbean and Central American covert operations during the 1960s.

On the radio broadcast Oswald is joined by Edward Scannel Butler, Executive Vice President of the Information Council of the Americas (INCA), who arranged and moderated the WDSU radio debate featuring Oswald following his arrest. INCA was a private anti-communist propaganda organization that declassified files show worked closely with U.S. domestic intelligence networks and military intelligence officers to conduct psychological operations aimed at Latin American audiences.

During these media appearances Oswald not only is positioned as a pro-Castro Marxist but is seemingly ambushed with government sourced documents from the House UnAmerican Activties Committee showing his history of defection to the USSR.

Oswald emerges as a publicly outed communist and Marxist pro-Castro activist and then shortly after begins trying to travel to Cuba via Mexico City, another highly storied chapter with major intelligence intersections.

Immediately after JFK dies this media will be used to try to paint Oswald as a communist operative by the DRE pushing for war with Cuba.

The facts are undeniable and the picture they paint could not be clearer.

Oswald was used as part of a CIA funded psychological warfare operation staged at a CIA asset owned site involving CIA funded operatives and promoted by CIA connected journalists who all used Oswald’s part in this operation to further push the anti-Castro agenda they had been working with the CIA and broader government and anti-communist apparatus to promote.

I don’t see how anyone can know these facts and the other clear facts that surround them like his admitted handlers the DeMorenschildts and the CiA and the FBIs monitoring of Oswald under classified counter intelligence programs and not understand Oswald was an intelligence operative.

It’s time we move the conversation forward, it’s time to stop wasting time with people who aren’t willing to engage with these facts or acknowledge what our governments own records say about this case and who Oswald was.

63 years of denial and lies is enough.

I see plenty of info here on doctored evidence, people lying, etc.

But I haven't seen anyone say who or why he was killed? So what's the long and short of it? What are some of the theories?

Government? Mafia? Both? Foreigners like Cuba or USSR?

Does LHO's wife have any insight? And why do you think she later went back on what she said and insisted LHO was infact a Patsy with a bigger conspiracy at play?

Jack Ruby was sentenced to death! Seems a little harsh, no?

Also, what the actual f*ck was wrong with DA Jim Garrison? Jesus Christ, I cannot believe the shit he tried to pull with Clay Shaw. Insanity.

Here is a list of inconsistencies, and obvious forgeries in the heavily doctored Zapruder film. We need the original, which probably doesn’t even exist anymore.

Mark Lane (Rush to Judgement) showed on TV a photo of Ruby being there. And the commission published a photo where Ruby is (too conveniently) cropped out.
