Provocation of nuclear conflict with USSR was a motif


Recommended Posts

What was the result of these provoking events? Hoover said:

Mr. Dulles. Or Oswald and anybody else? Would you go that far?
Mr. Hoover. Anybody else who might be-
Mr. Dulles. In connection with the assassination?
Mr. Hoover. Yes; I would certainly go that far. There was suspicion at first this might be a Castro act.
Representative Boggs. Right.
Mr. Hoover. We had information that had been obtained in Mexico City by
another intelligence agency indicating there was a man who had seen a certain
amount of money passed to Oswald at the Cuban Consulate. I think it was
$6,000 that was passed. We went into that very thoroughly. The man later
retracted his statement and stated it was not true. He was asked whether he
would take a lie detector test, and he did. The lie detector test showed that
he was telling a lie.

It is the case 1.B in the list of provoking events. On 26 November 1963, Gilberto ALVARADO, a professed Castroitc Nicaraguan born 31 January 1940 in Ciudad Rama, Zclaya, Nicaragua, came to the American Embassy in Mexico and made a statement about Lee OSWALD.

Does this provocation or others led to the real conspirators?
