Did Oswald Go To Mexico City?

[Oscar Navarro]

Yeah, Steve, and 5' 3.5" Sylvia Tirado de Duran described her "Oswald" as being short, blond-haired, blue-or-green-eyed, and weighing about the same as Eddie Lopez (199 119 lbs.).

Lee Harvey Oswald was 5' 9.5", brown-haired, grey-or-hazel-eyed, and weighed around 135 lbs.

"Third Secretary" KGB colonel Nikolai Leonov, however, was 5' 7", blond-haired, had blue eyes, and was, well, downright skinny.

Oh yeah, and Duran said her "Oswald" was cheaply dressed.

Isn't it interesting that the sweater vest Oswald was wearing in his Cuban Visa Application photo, above, was the same one he was wearing in three or four photos of him that were taken apparently fairly early on in his USSR sojourn?  Point being: that passport-sized photo of him could have been taken in Minsk, and in fact it is very similar in format of other photos in his "Minsk Scrap Book," or whatever it was called.

Oswald had that sweater on 11/22/1963 so why should there be any doubt about the date of the photo in the visa application? https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1133#relPageId=544&tab=page
  And, YES, Oswald did go to Mexico City in late Sept/early Oct 1963. The evidence for that is overwhelming.

Dear Oscar,

The fact that Oswald was photographed several times in the USSR wearing that sweater vest means that that passport-sized Cuban visa application photo of him could have been taken there and provided to Sylvia Duran by short, blond, blue-eyed, very thin-faced, suit-wearing KGB colonel Nikolai Leonov practically anytime before the assassination.

The problem with your theory is that it flies in the face of overwhelming evidence that Oswald was in Mexico City, Mudd Wrassler Tommy. Until solid evidence that corroborates your theory and disposes of the solid evidence that has Oswald in MC appears I'm afraid you have no choice but to accept the unpalatable (for you) plain facts.

Dear Oscar,

Does your "overwhelming evidence" include "Oswald was in Mexico City" statements by KGB-boys Nechiporenko, Yastkov, Kostikov and short, blond, 35 year-old, suit-wearing, blue-eyed, skinny, very thin-faced KGB colonel Nikolai Leonov (who claimed in 1992 that he'd met with "emotional, revolver-packing" Oswald at the Soviet Embassy on ... gasp ... SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29?

LOL

PS  Oh yeah, and pro-Castro Sylvia Duran and Cuban Consuls Azcue and Miribal (the first two of whom must have felt very guilty indeed for having helped frame Oswald for the assassintion, otherwise how do we explain their describing him afterwards in such a way as to so obviously point a guilty finger at the above-mentioned short, blond, 35 year-old, suit-wearing, skinny, blue-eyed, very thin-faced KGB colonel, Nikolai Leonov?

Silvia Tirado de Duran (in 1963) is Mexican, for what it's worth.

Thanks. And she wasn't really an "official"; according to the account by her and other Cuban consulate officials, she was a secretary/officer worker who took over the job a couple of months earlier (in August) after the previous secretary had been killed in a car crash. She said she met Azcue, the Cuban consul, at the funeral and offered to help the consulate out. So he hired her pending the arrival of a replacement from Havana. She said she left the job two days after the assassination.

And one more tidbit: Durado's name and phone number were written in Oswald's notebook/diary AND, most important, a note/piece of paper from her with her name and number was found among his possessions. She admitted to giving it to him when he visited the second time that Friday.

So, if he didn't go to MC how did he get that? Yes, we know: it was planted. "They" planted everything but couldn't fake a photo of him entering the embassy?

Who says that CE-161 is the same sweater as in the 'visa app' photo? Let me guess...Marina right?
Not saying I believe with all my heart that LHO did not make that Mexico City trip but so far.. from what I see, the evidence is underwhelming.

Dear Jerry,

Who's to say that Cuban visa application photo wasn't taken while Oswald was living in the USSR?
