Oswald was not fluent in Russian when he arrived in Moscow and Minsk and he did not hid his Russian from anybody. Oswald was not fluent in Russian that's why two men where assigned to improve his Russian skills (Shushkevic and Sasha Rubenchik) and Oswald was not hiding that he could speak Russian a little bit ... Quote Titovets: (OSWALDS RUSSIAN EPISODE) Your own quote Regarding his skills in the Russian language Oswald was not "acting" in any way. Stop claiming that Oswald was fluent in Russian and Marina was fluent in English and Ella german was fluent in English but they were all HIDING it, just for the purpose of bolstering the stupid premise of Armstrongs book HARVEY AND LEE. Listen to Marina Oswalds Pressconference in February of 1964 ... is this fluent English, as you claim, or is she still hiding that she is fluent in English? Throwing around claims and citing documents with fatal errors and attributing false pseudonyms (Casassin is Richardson not Helms, as you claim) seems all Armstrong and you are capable of, whenever the dorky premise of Armstrongs pseudo-CTer book HARVEY AND LEE is in danger.

@Jim Hargrove. The impression of Shushkevich you gave citing Peter Savodnik and his book THE INTERLOOPER is wrong. Shushkevich was no worker he was a nuclear scientist, working on secret military gadgets in the Minsk radio factory where Oswald worked. Shushkevich later became the first head of state of Belarus. He was only assigned to teach Oswald Russian always with another comrade with him. He was never allowed to met or teach Oswald allone. He never was instructed to sound out Oswald. On the contrary, he was instructed not to ask Oswald anything about his personal live. Here is the transcript of the interview Shushkevich gave to RADIO FREE EUROPE (RFE) in 2013: Stanislau Shushkevich: 'I Never Saw Oswald Get Excited About Anything' November 19, 2013 08:42 GMT Belarus's first post-Soviet leader, Stanislau Shushkevich, taught Lee Harvey Oswald Russian during the latter's residency in Minsk. In 1960s Minsk, Stanislau Shushkevich worked on product design at the same radio factory as Lee Harvey Oswald and taught him Russian. Shushkevich -- who went on to become the first post-Soviet leader of Belarus -- spoke with RFE/RL correspondent Pavel Butorin. RFE/RL: How did you meet Lee Harvey Oswald? What was your first impression of him? Stanislau Shushkevich: You know, contact with foreigners was forbidden back when I was doing scientific research. But I was very curious. And the party organization [at the Minsk radio factory] tasked me, a non- Party member, to work with an American. To be honest, I found it very interesting. So, it was with great pleasure that I agreed. Although, knowing our system, I made it seem like it wasn't the best thing for me to do and I wasn't quite prepared for that. But actually I was curious. There was one condition: I never met with him one on one. There was always someone else; it was Sasha Rubenchik, who had graduated from the university about four years later than me. He also worked at the radio factory. So it was the two of us who met [with Oswald] -- to keep an eye on each other, so to speak. [Oswald] made a very good impression on me. First of all, he was dressed in standard Soviet military rags -- a plush hat with flap ears, some camouflaged clothes -- but he wore those clothes splendidly. I had never seen anyone wear that brick-shaped hat more beautifully. He was handsome and he looked very good. His behavior was decent. He never allowed himself anything out of the ordinary. Generally, he never asked any questions. We weren't allowed to ask any questions either, about who he was or where he came from. Our task was to help him improve his Russian a little bit. RFE/RL: Did he speak much about his American life? Shushkevich: Absolutely not. Not a single word. I think he had received the same recommendations: we were not allowed to ask who he was, where he came from, how he had gotten here, why he was working here -- nothing. As a measure of control, Liabezin, the Party secretary in [Oswald's] workshop, inquired what subjects we covered in our lessons. I told him we were covering the usual subjects in accordance with the Soviet [English-language] curriculum: work, school, street, theater, cinema, city. Those were the subjects we tried to talk about. My colloquial English was basically nonexistent. I had been trained to do passive translations. I translated texts from English, and I still do. But I still don't speak English very well. WATCH an RFE/RL exclusive -- Those Who Knew Lee Harvey Oswald In Minsk Tell Their Stories: RFE/RL: Did you cover culture or music in your lessons? Shushkevich: No. Any discussion of culture was limited to how to buy a cinema or theater ticket, or to ask where theaters were located in Minsk. RFE/RL: How about any movie titles? Shushkevich: I don't remember. RFE/RL: Did you only teach him Russian or was it a mutual learning process? Shushkevich: You see, our studies were pretty basic. He tried to say something in Russian and we corrected his mistakes to make it sound like real Russian. RFE/RL: How about "My Family"? Was there such a topic? Shushkevich: No. No family. My house, yes. RFE/RL: Could he say in Russian, "I have so many sisters or brothers"? Shushkevich: Yes, he was able to say that. RFE/RL: And what would he say? Shushkevich: He didn't say anything about that. And we weren't supposed to ask. You see, you can't even imagine what it was like, following orders from the Party Committee. [Oswald] never talked about where he had lived or how he had found himself in Europe. That was completely forbidden to talk about. INTERACTIVE MAP: Lee Harvey Oswald's Travels RFE/RL: How about his military service? Shushkevich: Especially about that. We weren't supposed to know that he had served in the military. Sasha and I talked among ourselves, about him being a deserter and being so clever that he hadn't revealed it. RFE/RL: So, he seemed clever enough. Shushkevich: Well, you see, he never talked. He carried out his instructions; we carried out our instructions. I wouldn't believe it now either, if it hadn't happened to me personally. RFE/RL: From the limited contact that you had with Oswald, was it possible for you to make any conclusions about his temperament? Shushkevich: You know, it was possible. I got the impression that he was a very calm person. He produced the impression of a hard-working man. But he also seemed to have very strong habits that weren't suitable for studying Russian -- especially with the accents in Russian words. I would teach him to say, "Ya DOO-ma-yu" ("I think"), but he insisted on saying, "Doo-MAH-yu." We would be going over the tenses, and he kept saying, "Ya Doo-MAH-yu." You see, I simply could not get him to say, "DOO-ma-yu." Besides that, he never showed any other habits. He never showed any emotion. His punctuality was spotless. Our lesson was always at 18:05 at the laboratory of the radio factory and he was always there on the dot. RFE/RL: How would you describe his relationship with other workers? Shushkevich: Now, that was something completely di erent. Although I liked some things about him, his manner of work was a big risk to me. I always asked his mentor, the qualified worker who worked with him, whose name now escapes me, "Listen, don't let Oswald work on my designs." He simply did the wrong thing, quietly. I usually needed some fairly complex metalwork done while working on the mockup of a new device. And I asked [Oswald's mentor] not to give my orders to him. He had rather low qualifications as a worker. That is just my opinion. But I knew him only at the beginning [of his time at the radio factory]. Maybe he learned later. But for the time I knew him, he was a metalworker of low qualification. I don't know how they calculated his salary. RFE/RL: Oswald wrote in his Minsk diary that his job bored him very much. Shushkevich: I think everything bored him at the factory. I think we spoke about it already. I never saw him get excited about anything or show interest in anything. No, he was pretty calm. As Belarusians say, he was a "wet herring." In other words, he received all information with calm, without any emotions, as far as I remember. RFE/RL: Did he have any ambitions at the factory? Did he seek a promotion? Shushkevich: My impression was that his only ambition was to look better than others. Whatever he wore -- I can't even use the word "clothes," it was all just drab rags -- whatever he put on, it looked great on him. He was a good-looking man of particular cleanliness. His clothes were always freshly washed -- I don't remember if they were ironed -- but he was a particularly clean person. RFE/RL: Did he seem to be an intelligent person? Shushkevich: He was a rather closed person and it was hard to tell how educated he was. But his knowledge of Russian was pretty decent and he could exchange views when Sasha [Rubenchik] and I started teaching him, that's for sure. We never asked him about anything else, it was forbidden. RFE/RL: So he didn't speak about the Soviet Union? Shushkevich: Never. Not about the Soviet Union, or the city, or the metal shop, or about his metal-shop colleagues. I went to the experimental shop very often because we sent our blueprints there for production, but I never saw him having a friendly chat with workers or with his mentor who was giving him various tasks. RFE/RL: In an essay titled "The Collective," which he wrote later, Oswald provides a highly detailed account of every aspect of Soviet living and working conditions. It's as if he had been on a research mission here. Did he ever look like a researcher to you? Shushkevich: (Laughs) You know, if I had been asked to take him into my research team, I would have refused immediately, even though I would have been curious to work with an American. I didn't see any inclination of inquiry or creativity in him. Maybe I'm being unjust. But he showed absolutely no interest in the things that seemed important to me. RFE/RL: Did it seem to you that at some point he became disappointed in his life in the Soviet Union? Shushkevich: Over the course of our lessons, his attitude to his studies didn't change. He studied diligently. After that, I didn't have any contact with him. His day-to-day life, his marriage plans -- I had absolutely nothing to do with him at that point. RFE/RL: We have touched on this but let me ask you again. Was he not allowed to talk about his ideology, his world view? Or did he simply not want to? Did he ever discuss his reasons for coming to the Soviet Union? Shushkevich: Never. Not even a hint. You see, we were categorically forbidden to ask him about that. And he never talked about anything. You see, now as I am recalling that time, I don't understand why we acted like that -- like idiots, if you will excuse me. There was an outright ban. I had Sasha. And Sasha had me. We each received individual instructions on how to work with [Oswald] and we didn't violate our instructions, assuming that we might rat each other out. Although, I don't think Sasha would have ever ratted me out, nor would I ever betray him. He was a good colleague of mine, a young co- worker. But we stuck to those rules. You see, I had come [to the radio factory] from a high-security facility. And in the product- design department at the radio factory we were designing devices of dual use, including military, and we couldn't talk about what we were doing in the lab, so we didn't talk to him and he didn't talk to us. RFE/RL: But on a basic, day-to-day level, did he ever say he didn't like any particular food, for example? Shushkevich: Never. RFE/RL: Nothing at all? Shushkevich: Nothing at all. He never complained about food. He never made any remarks. You know, as I'm telling you about it right now, I don't quite understand why we acted like that. We had been brought up this way. RFE/RL: Did you shake hands when you greeted each other? Shushkevich: We shook hands, yes, quite normally. He would say, "Hi," in Russian. We would say, "Hi, come in. Take your jacket o ." When we studied formal and informal personal pronouns, "ty" and "vy" -- well, we were saying "ty" to each other. In other words, we were on informal terms. RFE/RL: Did he drink vodka with other workers? Shushkevich: I don't know. Come on, at the factory, you could drink vodka only on the sly. At the factory, everyone drank factory alcohol. But in the product-design department, you would be fired if you were caught drinking, because we were supposed to be an example to the working class. The working class drank on the sly. Manganese solution was added to the alcohol, to add color. The workers used paper filters with coal to make the alcohol transparent, and they showed it to us, too. RFE/RL: Did Oswald take part in such activities? Shushkevich: Oswald? I don't know. But I don't think he did. But I will tell you that at the same factory, when I was still in training, you couldn't refuse to drink alcohol. But that was in a di erent lab, it was a measuring-instruments lab -- your coworkers would say, "What's wrong with you? What kind of worker or what kind of engineer are you? Come on!" The first time I drank that purified alcohol was to show [I was a proper specialist], and I was taking a big risk. RFE/RL: Did he attend labor union meetings or any other meetings? Shushkevich: He worked in a di erent department. I worked in the product-design department and he was at the experimental shop. Those were two di erent institutions. We didn't actually have any union meetings. They collected money every now and then, we paid our membership fees. I don't really remember. I worked at the factory a little more than a year and I don't remember any meetings -- except when we were falling behind on our production plan. We had just launched the first transistor radio receiver, the Minsk-T, and it wasn't doing well on the conveyor belt. And then there was a demand for overnight work, and there was some decent money in it. I remember that on the first night I made one receiver work, but after that I got eight receivers to work, and they stopped the [overtime] payments. I think that policy a ected [Oswald] as well. RFE/RL: You mentioned money. Do you know how he spent his money? Shushkevich: I don't know. But he never complained that he had no money or that he denied himself anything. RFE/RL: Oswald wrote in his diaries that, with his Red Cross checks, he was making as much as the factory director. Was it noticeable that he was living comfortably? Shushkevich: Perhaps I was wrong about the quality of his clothes. Maybe he was wearing simple clothes in an elegant way. Or maybe his clothes were more expensive than ours, I don't rule that out. RFE/RL: Did he speak about his favorite places in Minsk? Shushkevich: That was covered by the ban. I repeat, I can't believe I followed the Party Committee's instruction so closely. RFE/RL: How did he address you? Shushkevich: He addressed us very simply. He said "Sasha" to Rubenchik and "Stanislau" to me. RFE/RL: What was your reaction when you learned that Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of assassinating U.S. President John F. Kennedy? Shushkevich: I remember that day very well. I was already working at a university at that time. As a faculty member I worked with Factory No. 32, a restricted-access radio-electronic factory, where we had our metalwork done. It was during lunch break that the announcement was made on factory radio. It was 1963. I couldn't believe it. It seemed like I had just had contact with [Oswald], in 1961. It was unbelievable. They said nothing about Minsk. They said "Lee Harvey Oswald." At first I thought it was someone else. I knew a few people named Lee, by the way. Then they said it again. I listened more closely and I thought, "Well, I'm in a pickle now. Who knows what I could be accused of?" I walk out to the street. I should say that we had many Jewish people at the design bureau and they were all good jokers. Many of them had just been thrown out of the Molotov factory. And so this guy came up to me and said, "Why are you still walking on the street? Liabezin has been arrested, that other guy has been arrested. And you're still walking. Good for you," he said. "I don't get you, are you with the KGB or are you a physicist?" -- such jokes came from everyone you knew. Everyone at the factory knew that we had taught [Oswald]. The product-design department was a three- story building and everyone knew that we taught [Oswald]. And everyone had to make fun of me. At the [May Day] demonstration I couldn't make a move without being told, "How did they let you come here?" But there were never any questions from the o cial structures. Quiz: How Much Do You Know About JFK? RFE/RL: Did you have any contact with the security services during your time with Oswald or after? Shushkevich: No. At the factory, it was [Party Secretary] Liabezin who served as the instrument of security services. He was the only person I talked to about this subject. RFE/RL: So nobody ever spoke to you about Oswald? Shushkevich: Nobody. Never. Neither before nor after. However, later, when I became chairman of the Belarusian Supreme Soviet, [U.S. novelist and author of "Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery"] Norman Mailer came and asked if he could look at [Oswald's] personal file. I said, "Before the end of the day tomorrow, I will answer your question." After he left, I called [Eduard] Shirkovsky, chairman of the KGB. I asked if it could hurt our interests. He said, "Of course not. Let him look at it, right now." That was his answer. Mailer had a big team. They wrote their book collectively. His representative, accompanied by a very nice lady, came back to me, and I said they could familiarize themselves [with Oswald's file]. RFE/RL: A lot has been written and filmed over the past 50 years about Lee Harvey Oswald. As someone who was in direct contact with him, do you ever feel that you know something that has been untold to the world about him? Shushkevich: You know, a lot more has been said about him than I could even imagine. To speak more about him, well, first of all, I don't even want to. In fact, I don't think it was his work. I went to Dallas exactly for that, on my own initiative. It was when I went to the Center for Belarusian Studies in Winfield, 40 miles [65 kilometers] from Wichita,...Kansas. The college director lent us his car, and my wife and I drove down to Dallas. We drove around the whole city, and we looked at the street where it happened. And the only thought I had there was that the chiefs of the U.S. president's security services were simply idiots or that it was a plot directed at Kennedy, a plot in line with the traditions of Dallas itself. We went to some museums in Dallas and looked what the [Ku Klux Klan] had done there, how they killed blacks and Catholics. It was a gangster center, in our terms, to my understanding. I hope the people of Dallas and Texas will forgive me. I had no other feeling. Therefore, it is my absolute conviction that they found a passive, calm, compliant boy, and used him as the guilty one. As for the conclusions of the Warren Commission, I don't believe them one bit. I have studied them and I don't think [the assassination] was the work of my student.

@ Jim Hargrove In that Memo there is an error made by Cassasin/Richardson regarding the YEAR of his conversation about Oswald. . Casasin, which is Richardson, not Helms, corrects that error when confronted with his Nov. 25.11.1963 memo 15 years later by HSCA staff. In this HSCA testimony Casasin corrects the 25.11. 63 Memo himself and said: The Conversation about Oswald took place in the first week of July 1962 not in 1960 ... Armstrong and you are not aware of that ... KK And: Casisin is the pseudonym of Richardson, not Helms as Armstrong claims.

Paste of NYT Obituary. Why the hell "they" ordered a nuclear physicist (Shushkevich) to teach Oswald Russian? Stanislav Shushkevich, First Leader of Post-Soviet Belarus, Dies at 87 He helped formalize the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, led his country until 1994, then became a vocal critic of his successor, Aleksandr G. Lukashenko. By Neil Genzlinger May 4, 2022 Stanislav Shushkevich, the first leader of Belarus when the country became independent upon the Soviet Union’s collapse, and an outspoken critic of the man who succeeded him and has led with an authoritarian hand ever since, Aleksandr G. Lukashenko, has died. He was 87 and had recently been hospitalized with Covid-19. On Wednesday his widow, Irina Shushkevich, told news agencies that he had died overnight at his home in Minsk, the capital. Mr. Shushkevich, a nuclear physicist before entering politics, led Belarus for less than three years before he was displaced by Mr. Lukashenko, but it was an eventful tenure. It began in December 1991, when Mr. Shushkevich, who was then chairman of the Byelorussian Supreme Soviet, or Parliament, joined with leaders of two other Soviet republics, Boris N. Yeltsin of Russia and Leonid M. Kravchuk of Ukraine, to sign an agreement forming a “Commonwealth of Independent States” — in effect, dissolving the Soviet Union. The bloc had already been coming apart at the seams — recent events had included a coup attempt that August against the Soviet president, Mikhail S. Gorbachev — but the agreement, signed at a forest retreat in western Belarus, formalized the dissolution. Mr. Shushkevich became the head of state of Belarus, though that role became more and more ceremonial as his tenure went along. He faced difficult issues, including stabilizing the economy and determining how dependent Belarus should be, economically and militarily, on Russia, its much larger neighbor to the east. Mr. Shushkevich soon faced opposition at home, but he was well regarded by the United States, particularly for his commitment to ridding Belarus of the nuclear weapons from the Soviet era that remained on its soil. On a visit to Minsk in October 1993, Warren M. Christopher, then the secretary of state under President Bill Clinton, praised the country as “a shining example to states around the region,” hoping that others, especially Ukraine, its neighbor to the south, would follow suit. Mr. Clinton himself visited Minsk the following January, meeting with Mr. Shushkevich and pledging American financial help with denuclearization. By then, though, Mr. Shushkevich was in political trouble. Parliament was dominated by hard-line Communists who often objected to his centrist policies and his resistance to aligning Belarus with Russia. But some of his liberal supporters, too, had become disenchanted with compromises he had pursued on such issues. Less than two weeks after Mr. Clinton’s visit, Parliament repudiated him with an overwhelming no-confidence vote. Mr. Shushkevich defended his policies, especially his efforts at economic reform. “The only way forward is democracy, not socialism, and democracy means market economics,” he said at the time. “We live in a poor, polarized society with many extremes. Communists are in the majority, and they are not aware that the economy is the very basis of what we do, not ideology.” Complicating matters was a recent corruption investigation that had accused Mr. Shushkevich of using state funds for personal benefit, including work on his apartment, though his supporters dismissed those allegations as an attempt to smear him politically. The investigation had been led by Mr. Lukashenko, and before 1994 was over, he had been elected president. Mr. Shushkevich, who was also a candidate, finished well back in a crowded field. Stanislav Stanislavovich Shushkevich was born in Minsk on Dec. 15, 1934. His father, Stanislav Petrovich Shushkevich, worked at newspapers and was twice exiled to work camps during Joseph Stalin’s regime. His mother, Romanovskaya Elena Ludvikova, was a teacher and writer. Mr. Shushkevich graduated from Byelorussian State University in 1956, earned a postgraduate degree in 1959 at the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences, and went on to become one of the republic’s leading nuclear physicists, holding top posts at several laboratories. He was also a professor at the state university in Minsk and, from 1986 to 1990, its provost. After the nuclear accident at the Chernobyl power plant in what is now Ukraine in 1986, Mr. Shushkevich was among those expressing concern about the effects of the fallout on the people of Belarus (then called Byelorussia). “Chernobyl polluted 20 percent of Byelorussia’s territory,” he told The New York Times in 1991, and he thought the Soviet government did not do enough to help Byelorussia. His concerns about Chernobyl were one reason he sought a seat in the Congress of People’s Deputies, a body Mr. Gorbachev created in 1989; he was elected to Parliament the following year. After the August 1991 coup attempt, some parliamentary leaders were forced out, and Mr. Shushkevich was named the body’s chairman. After he was ousted by Mr. Lukashenko in 1994, Mr. Shushkevich became a vocal critic of his successor, and of Mr. Lukashenko’s penchant for making pie-in-the-sky promises. “If he can do it all, he is Moses,” Mr. Shushkevich told The Times in July 1994. “But he is not. Solzhenitsyn said that Vladimir Zhirinovsky” — a firebrand ultranationalist in Russia — “was the caricature of a Russian patriot. Well, Lukashenko is the caricature of Zhirinovsky.” Mr. Lukashenko, though, may have exacted a measure of revenge. The Times reported in 2002 that in 1997, he issued an executive decree setting new rates and cost-of-living conditions for pensions of state officials — except for former chairmen of the Supreme Soviet, a club that consisted of Mr. Shushkevich and one other man. In hyperinflation-prone Belarus, that hit Mr. Shushkevich hard in the pocketbook. His monthly payment “used to be around $200,” Mr. Shushkevich told The Times, “which is a good pension by our standards.” “Now,” he said, “it is 3,196 rubles. That equals $1.80.” In addition to his wife, his survivors include a son, Stanislau, and a daughter, Alena. Mr. Shushkevich continued to fire away at his successor to the end. In one of his last interviews, in December, he linked Mr. Lukashenko and Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin. “Putin and Lukashenko are still unhappy with the fall of the U.S.S.R.,” he was quoted as saying. “They want to rule forever. This is not the way to create a democracy.” Milana Mazaeva contributed reporting.

But Armstrong is not only wrong about the Russian speaking Oswald in Minsk, he is wrong claiming, that Marina Oswald and Ella German did speak English with Oswald in Minsk. Ernst Titovets was Oswalds friend in Minsk and wrote a book: OSWALDS RUSSIAN EPISODE. When confronted with some Armstrong fantasies he said: Armstrong: “On October 18 [1960] Lee Harvey Oswald celebrated his 21st birthday. Ella German a girl from the Horizon factory who Oswald had been dating the past two months, and spoke very good English, attended a small birthday party at his apartment.”(p. 311). Titovets: Ella German did not speak English at all. Armstrong:”It is clear that Marina associated with Americans, spoke English with Webster and almost certainly spoke English with Oswald… Marina’s ability to read, write, and speak English fluently before she left Russia is indisputable.” (p. 340). Titovets: Marina did not speak English at all. Close quote

More Armstrong blunder: That is, was Armstrong said about Shushkevich, Oswald Russian teacher in Minsk who died recently at 87, in his door stopper HARVEY AND LEE: Then, Armstrong quotes Anna Ziger, who he interviewed in 1998, contradicting himself and Shushkevic: That was in 1998. Now we have Armstrong with Shushkevich teaching him Russian in Minsk and an old Lady who said 36 years after the events in Minsk(1998): Oswald didn't speak any Russian. Armstrong choose to believe Ana Ziger, and not the fact that Shushkevich was Oswalds Russian Teacher in Minsk. Which is funny because Norman Mailer said in his book OSWALDS TAIL ... quote: And that is what Oswalds Russian teacher in Minsk, Shushkevich, himself said in an 2013 Interview to Radio Free Europe: (link to the full interview-transcript ...) Shushkevich is saying that Oswald spoke already Russian when he came to Minsk and his task was to improve his Russian-speaking-skills. He never said he didn't like Oswald(what Armstrong claimed in HARVEY AND LEE) or Oswald was unwilling to learn Russian. He never said Oswald didn't speak any Russian at all like Ana Ziger 40 years after the events in Minsk. Bottom line: Since Armstrong needs an Oswald in Minsk who could not speak Russian, to uphold his crazy theory of two Oswalds, the Shushkevich interview to Radio Free Europe in 2013 puts an end to all credibility of the premise of the book HARVEY AND LEE.

Here is the full transcript of the 2013 Shushkevich interview about Oswald in Minsk. Shuskhevichs conclusion, quote: Therefore, it is my absolute conviction that they found a passive, calm, compliant boy, and used him as the guilty one. As for the conclusions of the Warren Commission, I don't believe them one bit. I have studied them and I don't think [the assassination] was the work of my student. (LHO.) Close quote KK

NYT Obituary Shushkevich thoughts on Oswald (Interview 2013 ...) KK

... that Howard Hunt pronto after the JFK assasination went to a hospital to flatten his jug ears surgically? No joke. KK

BTW Across the basement parking lot behind the TV cameras was a first aid room. They did not put Oswald there but in the line up room. (After he was shot.)

Quote Dr Crenshaw "JFK HAS BEEN SHOT" "Total operating time was three hours and fifty minutes. All surgery on Governor Connally ceased at 4:45 P . M . From surgery, he was taken to the recovery room, where an intensive-care area was established by partitioning the room with sheets. This was well before the sophistication of modern intensive-care units and equipment." Close quote Parkland employee Tomlinson found the "magic" bullet around 1 o clock on a stretcher. The above press conference occurred at least four hours later, with the bullet still in Connallys thigh. (Acc. to Dr Robert Shaw.)

I identified another book on Dulles' bookshelf. It is DER TOD IN TEXAS by the Austrian-American author Hans Habe. It was published in March 1964. (Not January.)Here is a link: https://www.amazon.de/Tod-Texas-Hans-Habe/dp/B0000BIXNY/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=Der+tod+in+Texas&qid=1637859701&qsid=262-0694173-4588833&sr=8-3&sres=3748146701%2C3964660442%2CB0000BIXNY%2CB0025XJS3U%2CB08MBBDVS2%2CB07VKPPWLF%2CB01EL71X3U%2CB08J4BBCQ4%2CB09JG11DDK%2CB086PTDP1D%2C3958541402%2C3140223145%2C3625180863%2C3473329568%2C3473329665%2CB0085N7UFC Hans Habe's 17year old daughter was murderd in 1968, some say by a memebr of the Manson family. Not only is Habes book the very first book about the Kennedy assassination, but there is also a strange angel to Manson. Link.

Armstrong managed to put several blunders in just one paragraph of his book H&L 1. There is no 1960 Memo signed by Thomas B. Casasin, which is 2. the Pseudonym of CIA Japan Station Chief G. B Richardson, and 3. not the Pseudonym of Richard Helms as suggested by a crazy Armstrong-footnote Nr. 39 (page 314 H&L) that reads: Armstrong wants make us believe that there are two memos from Casasin (which, in footnote Nr 39 he suggests is the pseudonym of Helms, while it is the pseudonym of Richardson), one written in 1960 and one written on November 25. 1963. There is only one emo by Casasin. It is the memo of Nov. 25. 1963, which one can read here Casasin is Richardson not Helms In that Memo there is an error made by Casasin/Richardson regarding the YEAR of his conversation. Casasin, which is Richardson, not Helms, corrects that error when confronted with his Nov. 25.11.1963 memo 15 years later by HSCA staff. But that's not the end of Armstrongs blunders he managed to put in just ONE PARAGRAPH of his book. Taking the Casasin memo of 1960 for real ( a memo that only exists in Armstrongs fantasy), he writes, ...which is bullshit built on bullshit, because there was a CIA-Oswald file in 1960, as one can read here(link) Quote. from the site JFK FACTS So there is a Casasin/Helms 1960 memo in Armstrongs head only, indicating a operational interest in Oswald, when in the real world there is no such 1960-memo and Casasin is not Helms but Richardson, and then Armstrong wonders how could that be? A Oswald memo in 1960 when there was no Oswald file in 1960. But there WAS a Oswald file. The 1959-Oswald file created by Birch O'Neal ... see how the Armstrong scenario implodes?

It is not about Priscilla Johnson but another Armstrong-blunder. Quote H&L page 280 "Eight months after interviewing Oswald, Priscilla Johnson was expelled from the Soviet Union (in July, 1960). A short time later, while a corespondent for NANA, she covered Khrushchev's 1960 visit to the United States. " Close quote. Really? Khrushchev visited the United States in 1959 ... arrival: September 15. 1959 ...departure: September 28th 1959 ...

Said the great exegete of Pope John Armstrong of the Church of HARVEY&LEE. Amen.

She lied much ... for "national security" reasons, of course ... R.I.P Quote from her "Ossi did it" book "Marina and Lee": "One evening during the last week of August, she (Marina) and June went for a stroll. Arriving home about twilight, they found Lee on the porch (in NOLA September 1963) perched on one knee, pointing his rife toward the street. It was the first time she had seen him with his rifle in months—and she was horrified. “What are you doing?” she asked. “Get the heck out of here,” he said. “Don’t talk to me. Get on about your own a airs.” A few evenings later she again found him on the porch with his rifle. “Playing with your gun again, are you?” she said, sarcastically. “Fidel Castro needs defenders,” Lee said. “I’m going to join his army of volunteers. I’m going to be a revolutionary.” After that, busy indoors, Marina frequently heard a clicking sound out on the porch while Lee was sitting there at dusk. She heard it three times a week, maybe more often, until the middle of September. Often she saw him clean the rifle, but this did not worry her because she knew that he had not taken it out of the house to practice. “So it’s Cuba this time. If he’s got to use his gun,” she thought to herself, “let him take it to his Cuba. They’re always shooting down there anyway. Just so he doesn’t use it here.” But just in case, she exacted a promise from him that he would not use the rifle against anybody in the United States." Close Quote Eric Rogers who was Oswalds neighbor in NOLA in 1963 for five months (May to September) saw him on the porch often ... but never with a rifle ... Warren Commission Hearing The testimony of Eric Rogers was taken on July 21, 1964, at the Old Civil Courts Building, Royal and Conti Streets, New Orleans, La., by Mr. Wesley J. Liebeler, assistant counsel of the President's Commission. Quote: Mr. Liebeler . Did you ever see any rifle or firearms of any type in his possession at that time? Mr. Rogers . No; Close quote BTW: July 21. 7. 1964 was the day Mary Sherman was murdered. Only Eric Rogers testified on that day in NOLA. All the other NOLA witnesses testified in April 1964.

The man with the sun glasses could be Sid Hershman Rorke and Sid Hershman on a plane together in 1963;

According to Armstrongs H&L the Oswald buried in Forth Worth was NOT the Oswald who has undergone a mastoidectomy in the 1940ties. When the body of Oswald was exhumed in 1981 the docs found out there was a bone defect that was having been caused by a mastoidectomy. H&L was refuted 20 years before it was published --- Key points A mastoidectomy is an operation to take away part of the bone from behind the ear. A mastoidectomy is done because of an infection or cholesteatoma that spreads to the mastoid bone. Your child will need an operation to remove the diseased part of the mastoid bone.

Armstrong claims: Robert Lee Oswald, (Oswalds older brother, born 1934) grew up knowing his real mother (Marguerite ONE) and brother (Lee).(You don't say) ... BUT AT SOME POINT IN THE 1950ties they (his real mother and his real brother) WHERE REPLACED BY THE OTHER MOTHER (Marguerite TWO) AND THE OTHER BROTHER Harvey) without him noticing. ROFLMAO The Life Summary of Robert Edward Lee who did not realize that in the 1950ties his mother and his brother where secretly replaced by another mother and another brother ... When Robert Edward Lee Oswald Jr was born on 7 April 1934, in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, United States, his father, Robert Lee Oswald, was 38 and his mother, Marguerite Francis Claverie, was 26. He lived in Denton Township, Roscommon, Michigan, United States in 1989. He died on 27 November 2017, in Wichita Falls, Wichita, Texas, United States, at the age of 83, and was buried in Wichita Falls, Wichita, Texas, United States.

Well there is some Info at the end of WCH Vol 15. But that is no true index it is crap. It only provides a list of names within the volumes. There are no city names, such as New Orleans, San Francisco, Chicago, or Dallas. There is no Moscow. No Minsk. There are no agency names, such as FBI, CIA, or ONI. And why do you think Sylvia Meagher sat down and compiled the only usable and true Masterindex of all of the WC Volumes??? Armstrongs claim in H&L, quote: proves, that he don't know what he is talking about ... Another one: In Armstrongs H&L Oswalds address when he worked for Leslie Welding at Montgomery Ward in Forth Worth, is wrong. It is not, as Armstrong claims 2703 Mercedes Street, it is 2703 Mercedes Avenue. There is no Mercedes Street in Forth Worth. This misinfo is in the Warren Commission Volumes too ... which makes me wonder what other misinfo Armstrong took uncritically out of the WC Volumes whenever it fit his crazy story. KK

H&L, quote: Problem here: There is no index to the Warren Commission 26 Volumes made by the Commission. Only the Warren Commission Report has an index. And there the CIA is mentioned several times: Index Warren Commission Report: Central Intelligence Agency, 22, 245, 258, 259, 266, 269, 272, 274-275, 279^ 280, 284, 305, 309-310, 327, 359, 365, 371, 433-434, 438, 456, 459, 461, 463- 464, 659-660, 748, 762, 777.

And that is, what Robert Lee Oswald has to say on the evening of Nov. 25.11.1963 when interviewed by SS Agent Howard at SIX FLAGS HOTEL: It was his brother Lee Harvey Oswald who Robert Lee Oswald saw in September 1959 (they were rabbit hunting together for last time), and it was his brother Lee Harvey Oswald he picked up at Lovefield/Dallas at June 14th 1962 ... and Lee harvey Oswald was acc. to his brother ... THE BOY I HAD ALWAYS KNOWN ... But Armstrong know better: Lee left his brother in September 1959 and some Lee- impostor HARVEY ( a Hungarian born refugee who spoke Russian, Hungarian and English, raised in New York) came back in 1962 ... of course ... Robert Lee Oswald was the last close relative who saw his brother LHO (at a hunting trip mid September 1959)just days before he went to Russia. And he was the first close relative who saw LHO when he picked him(and Marina) up at Lovefield airport June 14th 1962 ... an acc. to hom: HE WAS THE BOY I HAD ALWAYS KNOWN ...Robert Lee Oswald said that on November the 25th 1963 about 30 hours after the murder of his brother in his first interview with government officials. Not once but twice ...
