Oswald's "Handcuffed Communist Salute"

[Jerry Freeman]

On another thread, in response to my statement that Oswald's "Handcuffed Communist Salute" tends to support my theory that Oswald was more fundamentally Marxist-Leninist than Khrushchev, et al.

Castro was LHO's idol and getting to Cuba was LHO's goal.


I cannot help but believe that LHO saw this photo in the news:





And imitation is the highest form of flattery:

That’s a stretch, even by LN standards.

Ironically, that's short, blond, very thin-faced KGB colonel / interpreter / mentor of Raul Castro and Che Guevara Nikolai Leonov (aka Duran's and Azcue's "Blond Oswald in Mexico City") standing behind Castro's and Khrushchev's raised arms with his face almost totally obscured.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's wearing a dark blue Prince of Wales suit with red pinstripes, just like Azcue said "Oswald" was wearing at the Mexico City Cuban Consulate on Friday, September 27, 1963 ...

Leonov's diplomatic cover at the Soviet consulate in M.C. in late September-early October '63 (when the "Oswald Incident" allegedly occurred there) was "Third Secretary/ Assistant Cultural Attache".  He later became a KGB general, and when Putin became president of Russia, Leonov was elected to the Duma.

It’s an associated press photo. Do you think that it wasn’t in the news?

It’s a stretch that the two photos have anything to do with each other.

That opinion doesn’t surprise me (coming from one who apparently doesn’t think that there is any evidence whatsoever in the assassination case).

You only quoted half of my post (one of the photos). So it wasn’t clear that you were making a statement about the potential relationship of the two photos.
