A new book by an ex-CIA spook claims that Cuban dictator Fidel Castro knew about Lee Harvey Oswald's plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy and did nothing to stop it.
Author Brian Latell was the agency's former national intelligence officer for Latin America and is now a senior research associate in Cuban American studies at the University of Miami.
In the upcoming volume, "Castro's Secrets: The CIA and Cuba's Intelligence Machine," Latell writes that on Nov. 22 1963, Castro ordered his intelligence officers in Havana to drop their normal responsibilities and pay close attention to communications coming out of Texas — "any little detail small detail from Texas," The Miami Herald reported.
Latell also writes that Oswald became frustrated after Cuban embassy officials denied his attempts to travel there, and told Cuban intelligence officials he would kill Kennedy to prove his allegiance to Castro and the communists.

The first paragraph in “your” article and especially the first line says it all. If Madeleine’s story is hoax,then David’s story matches her’s!!!
yes, I am familiar with that, and I discount it as a stupid theory that sounds plausible enough to convince the gullible
Jackie Kennedy crawled onto the trunk to retrieve his brains and carried them into the hospital
It WAS like shooting fish in a barrel to the 2 or 3 shooters in the area, including the one who missed and hit the pavement and curb, and the one who missed and hit the man standing under the overpass, but not to Oswald, who didn't fire a shot.
I've seen the recreations on TV- they are what we physicists technically call “bull$hit”
yeah..."modified skull"..."near re-creation" - I can set up an experiment to give you the results I wan too...
But looked at in the Zapruder film, the brains DO NOT "jet out the front" , The governor was not covered in them, and Jackie gets onto the trunk to retrieve his brains FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE
And.. (i dont think anyone pointed this out before) one fram before the head shot becomes obvious I *THINK* I see a crater imprint on his forehead (entry) with a circular pattern forming from the shock wave through his skin
There are also shots that missed and hit the pavement and hit a man standing by the overpass - explain how Oswald did those too?
Where else but Texas could someone kill a U.S. President, then the assassin is assassinated while in police custody.
This is the definition of, "Keystone cops".
Keystone Cops in the know of the open secret!
No it's not an "Easy" shot, even with a scope, due to the fact the target was moving.
Even for experts, moving targets are always difficult when attempting to place near perfect shots. Throw in the stress of attempting to shoot a US president, actually ID'ing the target in a short time window, with the big thing on your mind being, "Escape" etc.
To be honest with you, I believe very little of the governments version of this event. ,
In fact, years later, I found I don't believe *anything* the government claims.
“Best Evidence” by David S Lifton is a very compelling read.
Uh, yes it is an easy shot, going away from a person at a slow and almost steady speed (see the film of the car coming around the corner). Also, Oswald was a steely character and didn’t give a fig that it was the President—have you seen him questioned by the press in the Dallas jail? Cold, very cold.
ID’ing the target was hard? Get serious — at that range it was so obvious an ID that your comment provokes laughter all around....
Oswald was a steely character and didn’t give a fig that it was the President
I'm sure there was no stress while attempting to shoot a U.S. President, and no doubt, "escape" didn't even cross his mind in those few seconds...
I had no idea he was a trained killer and such a cool and steely sniper.
In fact, based on what you say, I'm totally surprise they weren't all head shots, as it was so damn easy. I'm mean, how was it possible even one round miss the head shot?
It's so easy, I'm shocked every single round wasn't a head shot. How is that possible?
“Thanks for the expert advise.”
It’s “advice”, Mr. Sarcastic. (no points).
You’re indicating with your own words my point. He was not a trained killer—but he hit the President with 2 shots, one in the lower neck region and one in the back of the skull! Get it? It was a fairly easy kill. He did get his marksmanship award in the Marines, this we know.
And he proved himself a cold, unfeeling person each time he was recorded.
Easy?
But if it were so damn easy, why weren't all rounds fired head shots? I'm mean, how was it possible, being so easy, to miss two out of three head shots?
he hit the President with 2 shots, one in the lower neck region and one in the back of the skull! Get it?
Yes I do get it.
But were 3 shots not fired??
What happened to the easy shot? And a Marine marksmen?
According to you, and a couple of others here, it's was an "Easy" target. One said it was easier than, "Falling out of bed"....lol
It was a fairly easy kill.
Oh I see, it was an easy shot, and now it's a, "fairly easy kill", yet two of the three rounds fired were not head shots.
Easy shot, I mean, "fairly easy kill"...Got it!
You’ve already answered your own question. Now it’s time for you to listen to yourself.
Let’s review: Easy shot. Not a trained sniper. Still gets 2 out of 3 shots into the head. Still think it was hard?
The missed shot could have been anything, such as the body lurching at near the same time as the trigger was pulled. And, probably, the best explanation...
