Sylvia Duran, the Cuban consulate secretary who met Oswald and processed his in transit visa request, was asked about hearing Oswald threatening JFK during the visit.
Here is her (Tirado aka Duran) curious answer (HSCA testimony). Azcue was the Consul who got into the yelling exchange with Oswald who was furious that the Cubans wouldn't give him the visa.
Note: Yes conspiracy folks, it *was* Oswald.
CORNWELL - What do you think, well, first let me ask you, do you think that conversation [i.e., Oswald threatening JFK] could have occurred and you just forgot it? In other words, is that the kind of conversation which, if it occurred, you would definitely remember it?
TIRADO - Yes. Because in the fight with Azcue there was shouting and crying and things like that. I could miss something, but not, because even if would say so, I mean, I could have heard, no, I mean if you kill President you're not going to change the whole system. You see, that's why I give you answer, even Azcue. I mean that's no the, I don't think so, that he had that conversation with anyone. He was arguing. . .
CORNWELL - Do you remember any part of the conversation indicating that Oswald blaming the United States or President Kennedy for his inability to get to Cuba?
TIRADO - I don't remember but that could be possible.
Clark has no credibility to me (he didn't interview Castro since Castro turned down his request; he said he overheard Castro making these comments to others). However Jack Childs ("Solo") does have, for me, credibility. And Duran's answer is odd. The other Cubans, e.g., Azcue and Mirabal, at the consulate denied hearing Oswald make any threats. But they said they didn't speak English. Obviously then, who could have told Castro about any such threat?
