Craig Wrote:Oswald's activities in the summer of 1963 in New Orleans.

We have evidence he approached an anti-Castro group offering to help train rebels, and soon after he on the street handing out pro-Castro leaflets. Not well known is that before his famous altercation, he had been handing them out at a naval base to sailors, which seems quite intentionally trying to provoke a conflict.

In short, we have quite suspicious behavior that doesn't fit 'he was a Marxist activist'.

There are three main theories that fit the behavior:

1. He was attempting to get attention and press he could use to impress Cuban officials to get approval to go to Cuba
2. He was pretending to be pro-Castro for some intelligence activity (Waldron's speculation is wanting to get him into Cuba for the coming invasion)
3. He was being set up as a pro-Marxist activist in order to try to get Castro blamed for Kennedy's assassination and the US to remove Castro

This comes from a believer who pretends to be a critic... it's quite obvious if you understand the true facts. In 1963, the CIA was involved in operations designed to discredit & destroy the FPCC. Notice that the FAR MORE LIKELY theory that Oswald was a part of this operation isn't mentioned.

This is the standard tactics for the 'wolves in sheep's clothing' - the believers who pretend to be critics... you will NEVER hear from this particular "critic" that the Warren Commission lied about the evidence... yet the proof that they did is so overwhelming that no real critic would deny this fact.

It's far easier to debate against other believers than it is to debate knowledgeable critics.

As Dan Hardway pointed out:

Dan Hardway Wrote:The very first conspiracy theory, that Castro and the communists killed JFK – the one expressed by President Johnson 20 minutes after the assassination, and first seeing print in the DRE’s CIA funded newspaper, Trinchera, on November 23, 1963 – still has followers and proponents, the latest being Phil Shenon. None of the proponents, it seems, have ever really considered whether they may be the victims – or a part – of a very good, deliberate disinformation operation – possibly the best Phillips and Joannides ever ran. (Full article here.)

Notice that nothing Craig said contradicts this earliest of all "conspiracy" theories...
