Oswald's "Handcuffed Communist Salute"

[Walt Cakebread]

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:

Charlie, you're a few french fries short of having a happy meal..... You assume something to be true, based on NOTHING but your imagination and then assume that Lee was imitating Castro.........WEIRD!

Yes, Charlie.

How dare you suggest that Oswald was an avowed Marxist?

The nerve!

The communist salute is the symbol which both LHO and Castro identify with. And Castro's description of himself most definitely describes LHO to a T:



The Cuban leader, in his own words, is "violent, given to tantrums, devious, manipulative, and defiant of all authority."

[Charles Collins]

Yes, Charlie.

Anything that doesn't fit in Walt's fantasy world is weird, to him...

You're weird, Charlie.....  and blinded by your emotions.

That opinion, coming from you, lets me know that I am on the correct path...

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

I didn’t say that.

However, it doesn’t surprise me that your confirmation bias would interpret a Castro “communist salute” in a picture of a guy showing a reporter his handcuffed hands.
