BOB HARRIS SAID:
>>> "David, you should spend some time watching the PBS documentary on Oswald." <<<
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
I have. Several times. The 1993 "WHO WAS LEE HARVEY OSWALD?"
documentary is very good indeed.
>>> "1. Oswald had nowhere near enough money to pay for his trip to Russia." <<<
You are quite obviously dead wrong about this, since Oswald paid
$220.75 for a one-way trip to Russia on September 17, 1959. [See CE2673.]
Oswald was a frugal penny-pinching miser (by all accounts). There's no
reason whatsoever why he couldn't have saved up $220.75 during his
three-year Marine hitch. And, obviously, he did just that.
>>> "2. The CIA lied (and continues to lie) about debriefing Oswald when he returned." <<<
S.O.P. for Central Intelligence, it would appear. Vince Bugliosi
possibly sums up the CIA best in the Endnotes for his JFK book:
"The CIA had nothing to hide in thousands of previous documents the agency initially refused to release voluntarily but ultimately did release under court order. The CIA specializes in always acting guilty, even when it is not, and always being, from a public relations standpoint, its own worst enemy." -- VB in "Reclaiming History"
>>> "3. The CIA lied, claiming that they retained no photos of Oswald in Mexico City." <<<
The following VB quote probably doesn't apply to this point, but I'll
repeat it again anyway:
"The CIA specializes in always acting guilty, even when it is not, and always being, from a public relations standpoint, its own worst enemy." -- VB
>>> "4. The CIA lied, claiming that they retained no wiretap recordings of Oswald when he was in Mexico City." <<< The following VB quote probably doesn't apply to this point, but I'll repeat it again anyway: "The CIA specializes in always acting guilty, even when it is not, and always being, from a public relations standpoint, its own worst enemy." -- VB
>>> "Didn't you ever wonder why Oswald almost broke into tears when he was told he couldn't have a 4-day visa to Cuba, while on his way to Russia? Do you think he was just broken-hearted about not getting to play tourist?" <<<
Yeah, prob'ly.
Anyway, any explanation for this supposed 'crying jag' of Oswald's put
forth by Bob Harris will undoubtedly be filled with pure speculation
and conjecture and ZERO pieces of hard evidence to back it up.
So, what difference does it really make? You'd never believe any kind
of ordinary or innocuous explanation for ANYTHING Oswald (or the CIA)
did from 1959 through 1963 anyway.
