I haven’t been following this because I sense a rabbit trail that could go on forever.
However Oswald was involved with the Fair Play For Cuba Committee and I suppose it’s possible that Rafael Cruz could have been, too. It wouldn’t have been a very large group and they could well have been acquainted.
Yes, I never entered the rabbit trail or had a theory on JFK’s death. But lately, my interest was piqued when I read an article similar to the one posted. It’s the same story that I heard from several Cuban exiles many decades ago.
At that time, I thought it was all drama because there had been a recent string of bombings against pro-Castro exiles and the Cuban ambassador. But the men were quite adamant and had no ulterior motive to lie. When interviewed separately, the information was consistent and they were very passionate about the details. These guys were very highly educated professional men ready to return and fight to liberate Cuba. Their stories were all quite stunning. All were insiders involved with Alpha 66; not Omega 7. They described multiple assassination attempts on Castro that match the 2006 article posted up-thread.
I just see that Cruz took a very unusual path from Cuba given his youth and inexperience. Once here, a Cuban with a revolutionary persuasion would have sought fellow comrades in Texas, and in New Orleans. What happened beyond that, if anything, and why Cruz scooted to Canada just adds to the intrigue. If Cruz was in anyway implicated, it may explain why he waited fourty-plus years to apply for citizenship, and at a time when Ted held a position with the WH to expedite his application.
