Gil Jesus Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) What was the US Government's game in using the pictures of two different individuals and claiming they were both Lee Harvey Oswald ? These two are obviously NOT the same person. Edited January 7, 2023 by Gil Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Down Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The Russians admitted to drugging Oswald. Prob why he looks like he is suffering from a hangover in some photos. Possibly caused his hair to fall out and shock Robert when he came home. Plus having a new baby and being kept woke at night can tire a man. All these variables explain any minor differences, and I don't even see minor differences but you do apparently, in the way Oswald looks in some photos. The whole reason why people look for good photos of themselves to put up on social media where they look their best is because in some photos they don't look their best (i.e. look slightly different). If a person looked the exact same in all their photos, then they would never have to look for their "best" photo to put up on social media.

Charles Blackmon Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The "Oswald" on the right has a lighter eye color than the "Oswald" on the left. Its possible that he was wearing colored contacts in one or both photo but why is there no record of LHO wearing contact lens? It seems to me one of those experts in identifying facial features would be welcome here to comment on these photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know where the photo on the right came from? It was apparently attached to some document and then marked with an embossed stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy, the one on the right is from Oswald's 1959 passport. https://www.maryferrell.org/pages/Essay_-_Oswald_Legend_3.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo on the right was taken before he entered USSR and hence before he was drugged by the Russians. The one on the left was taken in Minsk after he had been drugged. They have never admitted what the actual substance was they used on Oswald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles, you're right about the eye color being different, but colored contact lenses didn't make an appearance until the 1970s. These are two different men and the government passed off both as being Lee Harvey Oswald. The head shape is not the same, the hairline is not the same, the eye color is not the same, the ears are not the same, the chins are not the same. They're not the same person.

They had been developed by the early sixties but I agree its not likely regular working stiffs could afford them or have access to them until much later. You are right Gil nobody has ever officially attempted to explain how these are the same people. Not that I am aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I am aware of. There is an explanation. Oswald was being regularly drugged by the Russians during the time period of these photos. Just check out Litvenenko to see how drugging can change ones physical appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Down Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 And the CIA were at it too trying to change Castro's appearance by drugging him, i.e. make his beard fall out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Brancato Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I don’t buy the photo comparison. In fact I have this problem in other areas when photos don’t seem to match. Maybe some AI program could be enlisted to compare the photos. But I think what we would find is a high probability rather than a certainty that the photos are of the same individual.

It appears to me he starts looking soft when he left the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mart Hall Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The face shape and chin look different but if the head in the left one is tilted down very slightly I expect it will look to be a closer match, given time and the circumstances . Everyone has cellphones with cameras. Take a photo of yourself holding the phone at different angles, you will probably find one angle that you prefer to the others as you look better.
