Interview about JFK today (11-22-21) with Jim Engster of Talk Louisiana


Recommended Posts

Just listened to your interview on "Talk Louisiana."

Interesting as always.

And interesting too that such a radio program ( conspiracy subjects ) exist there.

I think of more liberal audience areas such as California and New York where such programs seem more typical. 

Like you say, Oswald's activities in New Orleans the Summer of 63 clearly were meant to establish his bonafides as a Castro sympathizer. A very outspoken even public figure one. Downtown, broad daylight Pro-Castro leaflet passing where he could be photographed and even filmed. Radio and even TV interviews followed ? 

Always suspiciously incongruous to me Oswald putting so much time and energy into these highly antagonistic public political pronouncement and exposure activities in a city known as one of the top two or three resettlement areas in the U.S. for the most hot headed and militant minded anti-Castro groups and individuals.

Oswald being physically confronted and roughed up by a band of them during his first pamphlet passing effort in downtown N.O. should have logically made anyone doing so aware of the real dangers of such activities and made them pause?

Heck, those anti-Castroites there were so hot-headed and militant minded it wouldn't seem a shock that one may have shot Oswald on the spot instead of just shoving and taking swings at him as at least DRE leader Carlos Bringuier did.

And Oswald put so much time and effort into this activity while always struggling to provide even the barest most basic family support for his wife and child.

He loses his last job at Reilly's Coffee plant, collects unemployment for awhile, and finally agrees to let Ruth Paine take over Marina's and daughter Junie's welfare  at the end of the summer and with Marina's pregnancy getting more advanced.

Oswald was failing miserably as a provider for his wife and child. If he truly loved them both you'd think he would have put all his energies into taking on just about any paid work no matter how low wage and demeaning for their welfare, especially considering Marina's extra needs during pregnancy.

Oswald's stark neglect in this area at the same time he is putting a noticeable amount of time and energy into his dangerously antagonizing public political activities ( for no money ) has always been a part of the Oswald/N.O. enigma that logically begs valid suspicion of something else going on with L.O. all this time.

Marina and Junie lived in roach infested digs when Ruth Paine came to New Orleans and pulled her away to live with her in Irving. Marina's basic health needs were so neglected. No pre-natal check up care. Her teeth were rotting. She was depressed living with Lee.

If Lee was a informant doing things for any agency at that time, even low level and now-and-then, you would think he would have asked for more financial compensation to help his barely above the lowest poverty line life he was only able to provide for his young wife and child. So failing in his provider role, he finally lost them to someone else in their basic needs care.

Informant work sure doesn't pay well it seems.

Anyway, glad our resident research experts are still getting some public broadcast exposure.

Always find their interviews on such venues interesting.

Lastly, you mention the real possibility of others impersonating Oswald.

Do you believe the Sylvia Odio "Leon" Oswald encounter story?

If so, would you say the Leon Oswald she was introduced to was an imposter?

And what of "Leopoldo" calling Sylvia Odio the next day and telling her that this Leon was "loco."  And quoting him (Oswald ) to Sylvia as ranting that the Cuban exiles "had no guts" and should have taken out JFK for the Bay Of Pigs?
