The myth:

Lee Harvey Oswald was an unhappy drifter seeking attention and to that end assassinated the President with a second hand mail order sniper rifle and a Dallas policeman with a 38 caliber revolver.

The Facts:

Oswald taught himself Russian while in the Marines serving in Europe he had a top security clearance yet was only a radar operator. He defects to the Soviet Union and renounces his citizenship claiming that he will give the Russians any information they might request. While we might question whether he was working for the CIA the Russians didn’t, placing him well out of harms way in Minsk. After several years with Russian bride in tow Oswald tells the American embassy he wants to come home, he and his Russian bride are immediately granted visas at the height of the cold war and welcomed home. Oswald is always near the center of covert operations.

He is in New Orleans affiliated with the fair play for Cuba committee passing out pro Castro literature then anti Castro literature. Then inexplicably pulls up stakes and moves to Dallas claiming he is again a Marxist on TV. Almost immediately he finds a job at the schoolbook depository through a woman his wife is working for as a maid. The woman’s family is prominently involved in Dallas right wing politics. Excuse me for focusing on Oswald but it will become apparent when you see these same coincidences again in our own 9-11 tragedy.

Oswald has pictures taken of himself holding the rifle and pistol as well as a newspaper, What? Why would anyone do that? Oswald had been in the Marines guns were not a novelty to him. Oswald is reputed to have fired three shots in six seconds striking the President twice from behind at a distance of three hundred yards through trees. Zabruters film exposed that theory as rubbish, but for that film, it would have been a perfect crime. Zabruters film exposed the stark cold and horrifyingly graphic image of the Presidents brain blown out the rear quadrant of his skull. Most every one knows a gunshot wound will cause a small entrance wound and a large exit wound so it becomes incredibly difficult to convince a nation that the fatal shot came from behind.
