Larry Hancock Tips His Hat To KGB Suspects

[Lance Payette]

Who were LHO's most likely confederates?

It doesn't really fit any very popular or sexy conspiracy theory, but realistically his most likely confederate would have been Oswald Junior - some equally pro-Castro character he had met in the course of his travels and activities and to whom he could turn on or about 11-20 and say, "I'm gonna do it - are you with me?"

You keep mentioning Woolsey. We've gone down that road before, but I would bet Woolsey knew less about Oswald and the JFKA than you, I or most people on this forum.

LP-

Woolsey: Yale Law grad, Rhodes Scholar, extensive career in and out the US foreign policy and national-security apparatus, and former CIA director.

You and me: JFKA hobbyists.

I am uncomfortable simply dismissing Woolsey's POV. I may suspect lower-level G2'ers, or even Alpha-66'ers, possibly double agents, rather than the formal KGB.

But that's IMHO.

WHAT ABOUT THE IRANIANS?

Add on:

You might be pointed in the right general direction with your musings that perhaps LHO had relatively local or small-fry accomplices in the JFKA. 

There is a lone eye-witness account of LHO being at the Alpha-66 house on Harlandale.

I accept the WC narrative that LHO took a potshot at General Walker (in April), but my take is LHO likely had a ride to the location, and used a 30.06 and WII military surplus steel-jacketed ammo, available at the time. After all, two DPD detectives and two patrolmen signed contemporary statements that they had found a steel-jacketed slug in the Walker home the night of the assassination, and some inscribed their initials into the slug as well. LHO had copper-jacketed slugs. That's a hard one to dance around.

Perhaps a couple Alpha-66'ers-G2'ers, Dallas-based, played a role in the Walker shooting, and then convinced LHO to go big on 11.22, as payback for the many assassination attempts on Castro perped by the Kennedy Administration.

There were connections between G2 and KGB, obviously.

Anyway, Woolsey wrote his book, and he is a serious fellow.
