LHO was a low level operative, for whom? I do not know but his role was to act out the role of “Pro-Red” as the newspapers wrote on the morning of 23 November 1963.
He was, in fact a right wing nut job who was filled with delusions of grandeur. He was “schooled” to play the role of Communist by defecting to CCCP and constantly being seen as a “Hands off Cuba” activist. He was actually filmed handing out those leaflets. Why was he filmed doing this? It was documented. He renounced his US citizenship only to come back. He was photographed with the assassin rifle and took a shot at General Walker. When he was apprehended and shown on live TV he was calm, collect, well spoken and did not understand the perfidy brought upon him. In other words, he had no idea he was set up but later in the day began to tell the Press, that he was “just the Patsy”. He called for legal representation, he knew his rights, he was a lot smarter than given credit for as a “Red” hot head with a political or ideological grudge against the US President. Ask yourselves how he quickly got a job with a Defense Mapping Agency position and then a job along the motorcade route. Ask why his operator George De Morenschedlt committed “suicide: in 1979 just before he was supposed to testify before the HSCA?
Too many holes, too many incongruent stories...
There are many things I can agree with in your comment, but I try to deal only with verifiable, documented facts in order to counter anyone who wants to call us all “conspiracy nuts”, not realizing of course that they themselves will believe in conspiracies when it comes to certain subjects.
For instance, I would not say he shot at General Walker because the only source we have for that is questionable. Oswald was never arrested for doing so, so it is unverifiable and would be only tangentially related to the JFK assassination even if it did happen.
Also, in regards to psychological motives, I would only look at (once again) verifiable, documented facts.
Oswald was documented as giving out pamphlets that were pro-Communist Cuba. Like you said, there is video of him doing so.
Does this mean Oswald was a Communist? On the surface it would seem that way. Also his relocation to the USSR would tend to make one believe that.
BUT, he came back to the US, with a Soviet wife, and neither seemed to have any problems getting back into the US. At the very least there should have been government eyeballs all over Oswald. The fact that he was allowed anywhere near the parade route was either a sign of gross incompetence or bad intentions.
What FORM the bad intentions might have been is the part I would investigate and try to find evidence to support or deny it.
By the way, when I said that Oswald didn’t have anywhere near the benefit that the other three entities had for the removal of Kennedy, I was talking about Oswald’s motive and benefit (or lack thereof) as a “lone nut”.
That’s why I consider it a “funny thing”.
