Tabloid says it has proof: Ted Cruz’s father is mystery man in Lee Harvey Oswald photo
Miami Herald ^ | April 22, 2016

Posted on 04/24/2016 2:15:08 PM PDT by Lazamataz

WASHINGTON -- The National Enquirer has published what it says is conclusive evidence that Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael B. Cruz, is the man photographed next to JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald distributing pro-Castro leaflets in 1963 in New Orleans.

The Cruz presidential campaign fired back unequivocally. “This is another garbage story in a tabloid full of garbage,” communications director Alice Stewart told McClatchy. “The story is false; that is not Rafael in the picture.”

The explosive suggestion that Cruz’s father would have had any affiliation with Oswald is not corroborated in any other way. Cuban-born Rafael Cruz is now a fervent anti-communist, but there was a time he supported then-rebel leader Fidel Castro. His son, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, frequently relates his father’s arrest and torture by government officials and subsequent escape to the United States.

The elder Cruz ended up at the University of Texas at Austin and still supported Castro, who led the revolution that overthrew the Batista regime in 1959. Castro formally declared himself Marxist in 1961.

“The U.S. government was duped. The American people were duped. I was duped,” Rafael Cruz wrote in his book, “A Time for Action,” released in January. “When people ask me why I supported Castro in over-throwing the Cuban government, I readily admit that I didn’t realize he was a communist.”

I was a Cruz fan, but now that Trumps good supporter The National Inquirer has proved Ted Cruz's Dad killed JFK, I have turned against Lyin Ted.

Ted, the Canadian born son of a Castro supporter who fooled Texans into believing he was a good ‘ol boy from Texas.

I also used to be against Planned Parenthood, but now that Trump is such a big supporter of them- I am now FOR Planned Parenthood. Lyin Ted Must have been lying about those poor misguided people all these years.

This story is so outrageous it is not even worth reading.

I also used to think Hillary was a horrendous Secretary of State. But when Trump stated he thought she did a great job, I had to also agree that she must have done a great job. That dang Lyin Ted Must have been telling me lies about her and confusing me before.

(there was an FR discussion about this yesterday). I’d like to see the earliest piece of paper that affirms that Cruz is a US citizen.

Yes! Absolutely!

However, you know what other stories were so outrageous as not to read?

The story about how the GOP and the Democrats were secretly in alignment and how they would never attack one another like they would attack an outsider.

The story about how Charles Koch was a willing part of a Kabuki Theater and that he was secretly an Establishment figure that would sooner vote for Hillary Clinton rather than Cruz or Trump.

The story about how many websites (TheRightScoop, Red State, and TownHall for examples) were actually establishment tools and not conservative like they pretended to be.

The story about how men would be allowed in little girl’s showers and bathrooms if they just claimed ‘transgender’.

So many outrageous stories!

Rafael Cruz the Elder fought for the communists in Cuba, then shuttled back and forth between Texas and Cuba, raising money in Texas and turning it over to Castro in Cuba.

This was circa 1960, when travel between the USA and Cuba was, to say the least, HIGHLY scrutinzed. NO ONE could have made trips between the two countries without the awareness and at least explicit acquiescence of the CIA.

While Rafael manages in "conservative" media a TOTAL lack of scrutiny (same as Obama's fathers, whose son like Rafael the Younger used an alias, and like Rafael the Younger entered the country illegally, and is foreign born to a nation to whom he holds allegiance), THIS bears some research. SOMETHING was going on. The collision of history in the cases of both foreign born Manchurian Candidates---Barry Soetoro and Rafael the Younger---creates to many questions, which, as with Obama, virtually no one in media will TOUCH. Rafael the Elder abandoned his family (as did Obama's father), Rafael the Elder was an alcoholic. What was Rafael doing in his absence. And why did they flee to Canada. So many questions. How did either Obama OR Rafael the Younger afford to attend and reside at PRINCETON AND HARVARD?? Just one of many, many questions. How did either zoom up from minor local bureaucrats to less than one term as senator and then seek the presidency??

Oh, by all means, lets give up a wall on our southern border, deportation of many illegals, and solid support for the Second Amendment because Trump called Hillary a good SOS four years ago!

This info was on the Anna-Tomerlin face book page prior to being in the Enquirer. Fact: It states picture is Ted Cruz’s father - It does not say allegedly is Ted Cruz’s father. I have not heard or seen any attempt from the Cruz campaign to shut this down. That would make me think there is some truth. See post 85

You can’t make this stuff up. Actually, I did. I said just yesterday that pretty soon they’d have St. Ted as the “Umbrella Man” at Dealey Plaza.

I was sure that DeBlasio would be a disaster for New York City as their Mayor and probably corrupt to boot.
But Trump thought he would be good for the city, so I am sure he will be. All the disastrous moves he has made and the investigation into corruption against him now, must have all been caused by Lyin Ted.

re: this article being posted

Reading through the thread, there's a lot of terrific information it's generating. There's nothing invalid about exploring the CIA connection to events of the time.

It’s a little beyond the pale, bro, and we are BOTH not exactly fans of Turd Cruz.

It is ALWAYS extremely wise to trash the mayor of the the city you do the most business in.

EXTREMELY wise.
