Why Would LHO Choose His Workplace As The Location For Shooting JFK?

[Thomas Graves]

It may seem like "5th grade drivel" but if you open your eyes a little wider you may be able to discern information mixed in with the drivel that was probably of interest to Lee's handlers.   For example ....It would be helpful in investigating Marina, to know that Marina was formerly known as Marina Prusakova ......But his mother probably could not have cared less...... And she certainly couldn't have cared less if Marina's Uncle was an officer in the Russian Army and would have wanted his address in Minsk....   But American intelligence who read the letter were happy to receive that information.

Walter,

Why, then, did Oswald describe Marina's uncle as an "army colonel," instead of as a colonel in the MVD?

Pssst..... Mr Naive,  if Lee had told his "mother" that Colonel Prusakova was in the MVD, it undoubtedly would have stirred the interest of the Russian censors, but by merely referring to Marina's uncle as an army colonel it probably didn't raise much interest.

Oh, I see.

Well, Lee did fancy himself a triple-agent, or as leading three-lives or some-such thing from time-to-time, iirc.

PS  And what do you suppose the evil, evil, evil CIA did with that juicy bit of "intel"?

[Zeon Mason]

an LN has agreed more or less with my previous suggestion that Oswald could have carried a rifle in a carton box package around in Dealey Plaza and not arouse suspicion, given that William Castor did just that on Wed Nov 20/63

and since it is reasonably probable that  Oswald could have been informed by Tuesday of the JFK motorcade route from overhearing discussion of such from those who DID read the Tues paper

And since Oswald DID have enough money to use a Taxi

Then Oswald could have taken Taxi on his Tuesday lunch hour to get his rifle wrapped up in blanket and return to Dealey Plaza and carry it to some other place from whence he would only need ONE shot to kill a stationary JFK making a speech

Yes, In fact, he did, ...    Since you know that why don't you keep that in mind .      We know that the US was engaged in a false defector program involving young military men whom the government had carefully screened before training them to operate as neophyte intel agents ( nothing big was expected from them ) but it was a way of getting agents behind the iron curtain and hoping that they would act when ordered( not Unlike the Manchurian candidate ) For Example.... Lee was supposed to turn on his electric razor at a designated time that would be broadcast over Voice of America.  Lee had no idea that his razor emitted a very unique electronic radio signal that had been recorded and encoded into the guidance system on FG Powers U-2.   As it turned out...Lee never received the message from VOA because Power's U-2 was shot down before it got in range of Lee's secret radio.
