(12,792 posts)Please let me know which items you have problems with:
1.) As a Marine, Oswald ended up at Atsugi Naval Air Facility, a former Kamakazi pilot training center with deep bunkers. All major intelligence agencies maintained stations there from the end of World War II.
2.) From a small office on the corner of Lafayette and Camp Street in New Orleans, Oswald managed a local chapter of the pro-Castro Fair Play For Cuba Committee. Operating from an adjoining office was a sinister figure named Guy Banister, former FBI agent and Naval Intelligence Operative, also a Member of the Minutemen, and strongly anti-Castro. 544 Camp St, the address stamped on one of Oswald's circulars, was also a side address of Guy Bannister's detective agency.
3.) I said Oswald MAY have been involved in gun-running, but the evidence is not solid.
4.) According to G. Robert Blakey (objective enough?):

...
At the same time, Lee Harvey Oswald makes a contact with Carlos Bringuier who is an anti-Castro Cuban leader in New Orleans and this is documented and unquestioned. Which is Lee Harvey Oswald? Is he pro-Castro? Is he anti-Castro? This man is all things to all people.
Also, Oswald wrote to Arnold Johnson of the Communist Party USA, that on the evening of October 23, 1963, he had attended an "ultra right" meeting headed by General Walker.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, linked to elsewhere, Marina Oswald admitted: "That was his role -- that he played, you know, to infiltrate"
I should also mention, Marina Oswald seems to indicate in the interview that the State Dept. funded their move from Russia back to the US.
5.) Evidence implicated Oswald in the shooting involving Gen. Walker, including testimony by his wife. The shot missed Gen. Walker's head.
6.) The theory that Oswald was in Dealey Plaza merely to shoot at JFK in order to scare him is outlined in the book "Farewell America" which purportedly is based on foreign intelligence research commissioned by RFK. See my post at the end of the thread.
