If it’s true, as John Newman asserts in his 2022 book, Uncovering Popov’s Mole, that the Office of Security’s Bruce Solie was a mole, and that he sent future JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald to Moscow as an ostensible “dangle” in a (unbeknownst to Oswald) planned-to-fail hunt for “Popov’s U-2 Mole” (Solie) in the wrong part of the CIA, Newman was ironically correct in his 1995 book, Oswald and the CIA, that the reason a 201 file wasn’t opened on Oswald until December 1960, fourteen months after he’d defected, was because he was on a top-secret mission "for the CIA" (the KGB-controlled CIA).

The only problem I have with Newman’s theory is that after CIA officer (and probable mole) George Kisevalter told the CIA in April 1958 that Lt. Col. Popov had told him in Berlin about the U-2 leak, it took Solie eighteen whole months to screen for Oswald, recruit him, teach Russian to him, and send him on his way.

But why would former Marine U-2 radar operator Oswald need to speak Russian, anyway, if all he had to do was toss his passport onto Consul (and probable CIA officer) Richard Snyder’s desk, say he wanted to renounce his citizenship, and mention to him (and to the KGB microphones in the walls) that he planned to commit espionage against the U.S., including “something of special interest”?

A better question is, How do you explain the evidence that Oswald was fluent in Russian before he went to the Soviet Union?

I recommend you read Alaric Rosman's section titled "The Enigma of Oswald and the Russian Language" in the book JFK: Echoes from Elm Street, edited by Mark Bridger and Barry Keane (pp. 318-340). After documenting that Oswald spoke fluent Russian before he went to the Soviet Union, Rosman devotes several pages to refuting Bugliosi's false claim that Oswald's Russian language proficiency was mediocre at best.

Some of the evidence that Rosman presents is discussed in James Norwood's article "Oswald's Proficiency in the Russian Language," available online at https://harveyandlee.net/Russian.html.

I am agnostic about Armstrong's "Harvey and Lee" theory, but the evidence in Norwood's article and in Rosman's segment in JFK: Echoes from Elm Street is compelling.

You are trying to reason with someone who thinks the Soviet Union won the Cold War. The nation built on the Marxist-Leninist idea of a command economy, no private property, one party state and a dictatorship of the proletariat was victorious. And the liberal democratic capitalism - that would be us - lost. Even though the Soviet Union no longer exists. The country that won. Poof, vanished. Apparently they faked their collapse and disappearance.

Hell, even Oswald recognized that it was a failure. He told everyone about it. While he was also supposedly a KGB agent or asset. Yes, the same guy who was saying it was a slave state, a failure of true Marxism was also working for them. But he was instructed to say this. His criticism of Marxist-Leninism was really evidence that he supported it. Yes he did.
I will quickly add this: My wife lived in the USSR from her birth in 1954 until it's collapse. She then lived in the Soviet-style republic of Belarus until 2007, when she joined me. She knows just a bit more about the reality than TG. During the Obama and Biden years, she must have said at least 25 times, in these very words, "My God, this is just like the Soviet Union! This is just what they were trying to do." Despite our recognition of his many quirks and failings, she has not said this under either of Trump's administrations. TG's efforts to make Trump the inevitable consequence of a grand, 60-year KGB plot are pure TDS lunacy. Because I know a bit more about TG's circumstances than he thinks I do, I try to tread lightly and with a bit of humor - but his incessant rants and domination of this forum are such that I'm surprised he's humored by the other members and tolerated by Duncan.

TG--

That looks like it.

I accept your statement that Moscow disinformation went well beyond simple propaganda.

You're welcome.

Or his Russian double Alek James Hidell

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Correct, and that missing-everything shot was fired by Lee Harvey Oswald at "Z-124," i.e., about five seconds earlier.

The only problem is Governor Connally heard a shot before Z-223 that missed. Connally was an avid hunter and knew it was a rifle shot.

Dear Steve M.,

Who said anything about Communism or The Dictatorship of the Proletariat?

Your and FPR's favorite world-class humanitarian organization -- the KGB* -- plus the Russian Mafia and Putin's Oligarchs and their American affiliates, won The Cold War on 20 January 2017 by installing as our "president" a sociopathic malignant narcissist from Queens who was first "spotted" for recruitment and/or compromise by a KGB-connected Manhattan electronics store owner, Semyon "Sam" Kislin, in 1980.

*Today's SVR and FSB

That would put the car about a car length before - 

So that white area in her “arm” just happens to match the white area behind her “arm”?

If that idea is what happened, then: it takes a little time for a thought to form in the brain. The limo was still moving in the meantime.



So that white area in her “arm” just happens to match the white area behind her “arm?

It is called overexposure. Here’s a photo that shows the concept. It’s the full moon rising as photographed through the branches of a dogwood tree. The moon appears to be part of the limb. When actuality the moon is about 240,000 miles behind the limb.




If you watch the moving image (as the movie film is designed to be displayed) you might be able to see that the white area appears to be some white pants moving in the crowd beyond Linda Willis. Typically, the blurry still frames images “magically” become a much clearer moving image when displayed as a movie.
