Nov 2015

Here's a pretty remarkable story, from the day after the assassination. It includes information from Oswald's background in the Marines, life in the Soviet Union, Russian wife, an appeal to Sen. John Tower and his time in New Orleans.

Lee Harvey Oswald is arrested, accused of killing JFK in 1963

(Originally published by the Daily News on November 23, 1963. This story was written by Henry Machirella.)
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Saturday, November 21, 2015, 12:00 PM

DALLAS, TEX., Nov. 22 - Lee Harvey Oswald, a 24-year old ex-marine who once tried to renounce his U.S. citizenship and become a Soviet citizen, was charged tonight with the murder of President Kennedy. Oswald was also charged with the murder of a Dallas policeman.

Dallas County District Attorney Henry Wade and Dallas Police Chief Jesse E. Curry said in a joint statement that the murder charges were based on "physical evidence." They added that Oswald had not confessed either crime.

SNIP...

He first went to New Orleans, where relatives lived, and tried to infiltrate an anti-Castro organization.

"He offered himself as a former marine to train Cubans for an invasion," related Carlos Bringuier, New Orleans delegate for the Miami-based Cuban Student Directorate. "I was suspicious of him from the start. But, frankly, I thought he might be an agent from the FBI or CIA trying to find out what we might be up to.

"Then, a few days later, I encountered him on Canal Street distributing 'Viva Fidel Castro' literature."

Pretty thorough job of reporting. Even picked up on the guy's days in New Orleans as a communist sympathizer. Of course, since then, there's been little mention, apart from Jim Garrison and Oliver Stone, of the other guy in New Orleans Guy Bannister. Of course, there's been no mention of who was paying the New Orleans group who fought with Oswald, CIA man George Joannides. He would later derail the House Select Committee on Assassinations. I know you know that, deutsey. How many people do you know, beside those on DU, that know?
