” I couldn’t even tell you with certainty what city my father was living in seven years before I was born.”
REALLY? That bad? Your family is devoid of long term memories?
Let’s get real and quit sympathizing with the devil.
I could tell you that my father and uncles and no person in my clan was hanging out in the streets with Communist agitators passing out fliers in support of a Communist dictator.
I could also tell you that my dad was NOT taken to the New Orleans police station for questioning and arrest with Lee Harvey Oswald two months prior to JFK’s assassination.
I could also tell you that my father did not fabricate stories regarding how he came to America and where he settled and whom he lived with during that time.
You're asking the son to know where his father was seven years before the son was born. Sure someone in the family could probably say with some degree of certainty but not his children. I can assure you that my brother has no better idea than I do. Ask me the whereabouts of my father from about when I turned four onward and I could tell you.
Let's assume for a second that your conspiracy ideas have some merit and Raphael Cruz was a CIA operative (which I don't think is that far-fetched) and/or involved in the JFK assassination (which I think is far-fetched). What do you think that he would have told his son? If the topic was ever raised (and Raphael would have never raised it), Ted and the rest of the family would have been told the alibi story. Ted could only tell you what he had been told.
Let’s get real and quit sympathizing with the devil.
Merely pointing out the lack of logic in asking a son about his father's whereabouts seven years before the son was born. Ask Raphael, he is still alive and lucid. You make it sound sinister that Ted hasn't volunteered some information of which he would have no first-hand knowledge. At best, the information would be hearsay and most likely just the cover story anyway if your conspiracy theories are true.
