[…] to have come up with this one: not Fidel Castro’s government, no sir, we’ve had that one; supporters of Fidel. What, free-lance supporters? He means Lee Harvey Oswald, presumably, plus others. Almost forty years after the event and a professional historian is still peddling one of the original cover stories, apparently unaware of even […]
[…] curious but important relationship with the unfinished investigation of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. For example, the Army intelligence officer, Philip Corso identified Lee Harvey Oswald as a CIA ‘asset’ and named the alleged CIA officials whom Oswald allegedly contacted in Moscow during his ‘defection’ to the Soviet Union. The CIA’s Herman […]

Perhaps the loudest discordant note is in the entry commencing 4 January 1961, in which Oswald bemoans his (by Soviet standards rather luxurious) circumstances: ‘The work is drap , the money I get has nowhere to be spent. No nightclubs or bowling […]
[PDF file]: […] Kevin Coogan In Anthony Frewin’s 2015 Lobster article ‘Inside Lee Harvey Oswald’s address book’, he discusses an entry in Oswald’s address book about the far right. 1 Oswald wrote: NAT. SEC. DAN BURROS LINCOLN ROCKWELL ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA AMERICAN NAZI PARTY (AMER. NATIONAL PARTY) Hollis sec. of Queens N.Y. (NEWSPAPER) NAT. Socialist Bulletin. Frewin cites […]

Eddowes’ book, November 22nd: How They Killed Kennedy (3) suggested that Lee Harvey Oswald had been replaced by a look-a-like KGB agent when he went to the Soviet Union.

[PDF file]: Tokyo legend? Lee Harvey Oswald and Japan Kevin Coogan What do we know about Lee Harvey Oswald’s stay in Japan? Surprisingly, the answer is ‘very little’. From autumn 1957 to late 1958, Lee Harvey Oswald worked at an American military base in Atsugi, Japan, as a member of a military air traffic control unit […]
[…] most interesting JFK assassination books to have emerged from the movie and 30th anniversary tie-in crop. Given the vast amount of attention paid to Gerald Posner’s ‘ Oswald did it after all!’ apologia, Case Closed, it is unfortunate that Russell’s book still hasn’t found a UK publisher. The Man Who Knew Too Much has […]
[…] the known and reliable evidence to suggest that the anti-Castro Cubans – with organised crime and/or CIA links – planned to kill JFK, and leave a dead Oswald framed as a pro-Castro, communist assassin, triggering another US invasion of Cuba and scuppering JFK’s plans to do a deal with Castro. This is terribly plausible, […]
