Connection Between Cuba, Soviet Union, And Oswald
Connection Between Cuba, Soviet Union, And Oswald
When people think of the JFK Assassination they automatically assume that it was just Lee Harvey Oswald and that he did not like Kennedy’s views or beliefs. But did he have relationships with Cuba as well as the Soviet Union? The files that have recently been released aim towards that theory. Among the earliest revelations to emerge from the newly released files were CIA notes of a intercepted telephone call on September 28, 1963, from Lee Harvey Oswald to a KGB agent in Mexico City, and evidence that the FBI’s Dallas office received a threat on Oswald’s life on November 23, 1963, the night that Jack Ruby shot him, from a man saying he was a “member of a committee organized to kill Oswald.” In fact the CIA had been following Oswald weeks and actually months before the Assassination. They stated that Oswald had a meeting with that KGB agent (Soviet Union) as well as Cuban officials in Mexico City at the Cuban Embassy weeks before the Assassination. After the Assassination the FBI stated that it was a lone shooter with little experience. But Oswald was a trained Marine Corps sniper. Oswald at the time was also trying to become a legal citizen in both countries leading up to the Presidents Assassination. Speculations about Oswald’s activities on his Mexico trip have long fueled one of the most popular JFK- related conspiracy theories, which argues that Cuban dictator Fidel Castro plotted to Assassinate President Kennedy as revenge for the Bay of Pigs invasion. In addition to Castro, potential conspirators have included the CIA, Vice President Lyndon Johnson, the Mafia, and the KGB.
