From a CT point of view, the reason for my three "CT nightmare questions" ...

[Jorn Frending]

Jerry Freeman's timeline for Oswald in Japan in this thread is actually quite interesting.

On one side it allows for Oswald as has been reported to not only having participated in a MK Ultra program and having been able to be with Roscoe White in the Philippines, but also shows how Oswald was examined in his knowledge of russian in a military context.

For cold war, governmental and Intelligence reasons it makes sense for Oswald to study Russian. However, for private and political reasons Oswald would have been better off studying Spanish and concentrating his crusade on Cuba and Nicaragua.

Since this thread is mainly about laying out a pattern don't forget that Oswald after studying russian in a military context he then defects to Russia and while STILL BEING IN RUSSIA Hoover himself is worried because someone is using Oswald's name in New Orleans to purchase equipment for the anti Castro community.
