KGB and the Cubans had plenty of agents in the U.S. (the latter still do.) It was said that the Soviets transferred about $30 million per year to their boy Gus Hall (not his birth name), and what did he do with the cash, no one seems to be interested in knowing. Yes, he lived in a mansion, yes he drove a Caddie, but the Russkies were not so stupid to fund some idiot’s high life. How about funding the saintly so-called “civil rights movement”? How about funding the conspiracy theories around the assassination of JFK when everything pointed to Moscow and Havana, EVEN if they were not involved? I have more respect for the promoters of those theories who did it for cash, than for the useful idiots on this forum and elsewhere who swallowed them without chewing first.
And another question unasked. There have been numerous Russian-American couples during Cold War, married some way, who could not obtain permission for one of the spouses to leave the Soviet paradise. Numerous diplomatic interventions, newspaper articles. And here Oswald and his beloved Marina leaving with no obstacles. Why? We are told he was a doofus whom the Soviets were glad to get rid of. Maybe. But Marina? He and she were their assets, no question. Just what they had to do in return for the passports we don’t know, and no one seems to be interested in finding out. No one left the Soviet block countries at the time without signing some agreements, without having to pay back one way or another, no one!
Qui bono? Oswald was allowed to leave SU because he was that type of disillusioned useful idiot communists are afraid of the most. I mean an insane leftist who has tasted a fruit of real socialist paradise and didn’t like it. It made sense to expel his wife as well, because she could be influenced by his agitation on Soviet regime.
There wasn’t any communist interest to kill Kennedy. He was a kind of Obama of his time, adjusted to his era. Khruschev and Castro routinely played him for the fool and took every advantage the Putin and Chinese does to Zero.
