When I read, or saw on T.V. that Oswald was handing out pro-Communist pamphlets, I said to myself “That takes guts!”

I made a picture of myself doing that. I surmised I would want someone to be with me, lest I be attacked. I would want at least three people. If I was married, I would want my wife to be by my side.

What I don’t get, is why there are no members of the Fair Play Committee with Oswald. Did they suspect he was a spy, perhaps a member of the CIA trying to infiltrate them. Lee stamped the address of the organization on the pamphlets. Did Lee print these pamphlets?

The CIA did employ members of the White Movement who became Nazi when the Reds drove them out of Russia. This make sense, because these are highly trained anti-Communists – who would know how to create a patsy. If Oswald was one of them, and they gave him orders to hand out these pamphlets – so as to make contact with pro-Castro Communists, then Lee is not interested in having other people by his side to hand out pamphlets, because more people might scare away the target.

Lee had to have become suspicious at this point especially when he is ordered to take a shot at Walker who he tells his wife is a Nazi, thus, in with the White Movement. These anti-Communist Nazi would want to pin everything on a Pro-Cuban Communist. Lee failed to contact one and make him his patsy. When Kennedy is shot from the place he works at, Lee knew he was set up. He see the big picture. He hears General Walker on Billy’s evangelical radio show calling for Americans to rise up and get the foreigners (Catholics) out of the White House so he can lead a Holy Crusade against the Communists in Cuba. Walker will talk about the attempt on his life by an INSANE PRO-CUBA Killer, and the pamphlets he owned.

What went wrong? I suspect Bobby Kennedy, as Attorney General of the United States, conducted his own investigation. Indeed, the investigation was already on. Walker was in Bobby’s crosshairs. Surely Bobby Kennedy feared for his brother’s life when he went to Dallas.

The FBI took the pictures of Lee handing out pamphlets. Who raised their camera and got Lee in the bullseye? This photo is a smoking gun. Lee hired two guys to help him hand out pamphlets. Why? Did he really need them? Were they just there for show. Also, Lee was up in Canada handing out pamphlets with a man and woman. Why Canada?

Everything is hinged on the shot taken at Walker. Surely he talked about it to his friends – about motive! Did Walker say Bobby Kennedy had it out for him? Did Bobby suspect Walker was implicating him – and deduced what his motive was? The Civil Rights of blacks was at play here. The blacks in Cuba are complaining they are not treated as equals. The Right-wing accuses our President of forming a secret army of Black Communists. Did Bobby fear what would happen if the truth got out, that a racist neo-Nazi Southern evangelical wing-nut killed John F. Kennedy with the backing of neo-Confederates?

Oswald knew he was being played by several parties. He tried to play them for the betterment of his country, the United States of America. Oswald was a Marine.

“The parts left out of J. Edgar Hoover’s investigation before and
after Kennedy was killed were the nazi associations de Mohrenschildt
had while working for U.S. intelligence. George’s cousin, the movie
producer was one of the top German Abwehr
agents in North America. Reinhard von Gehlen recruited Maydell in the
post-war era to be in charge of the CIA’s Russian emigre programs.
Gehlen recruited veterans of Maydell’s Abwehr Group to work with East
European emigre organizations inside the U.S. Part of Lee and
Marina’s red carpet treatment in the U.S. started with their arrival
from the USSR. Spas T. Raigkin was the ex-Secretary General of a
group such as Maydell’s. The AFABN, the American Friends of the Anti-
Bolshevik Bloc of Nations, with CIA funding, assisted Lee and Marina
to get settled. J. Edgar Hoover was trained only to see if there were
Communists around …the red menace. The Abwehr, Reinhard Gehlen and
Maydell were overlooked by the FBI.

Who would have given orders for HARVEY Oswald to become involved with the FPCC, and why? The orders probably originated with his CIA handlers (David Phillips, Mexico City), and were given to someone with close connections to the FBI, perhaps Guy Bannister in New Orleans (former SAIC of the FBI’s Chicago office who was in frequent contact with Hoover). HARVEY may have been told that he could help the FBI by starting a local FPCC chapter and recruiting new members, while working for the Bureau as an undercover confidential informant. Oswald used Bannister’s office for this venture and even stamped “544 Camp St.” (Bannister’s address) on some of the FPCC brochures. Bannister’s investigator, George Higgenbotham, told Bannister that he saw Oswald and another young man handing out FPCC leaflets in front of the Trade Mart. Bannister replied, “Cool it. One of them is mine.” Bannister told his secretary, Delphine Roberts, “He’s with us, he’s associated with this office.” Mrs. Roberts said, “I presumed then, and am now certain, that the reason for Oswald being there was that he was required to act undercover.” Oswald’s leaf-letting was filmed by an FBI agent with a 35 mm camera. WDSU-TV cameraman Orvie Aucoin, an active FBI informant, filmed Oswald as he passed out leaflets. CIA agent William Gaudet watched Oswald hand out literature from his office in the Trade Mart. If Oswald was working undercover for the FBI this could explain why, after arrested in New Orleans, he spoke with FBI agent John Lester Quigley for an hour and a half. FBI security clerk William Walter told the HSCA that he saw several of Oswald’s files in the FBI office in New Orleans in the summer of 1963. The files were security and informant files designated with “105” or “134” classifications. Oswald may have thought his assignment as an undercover confidential informant was to identify and report Castro sympathizers to the FBI. But the real reason for the CIA to initiate (HARVEY) Oswald’s undercover assignment was to have him working for the FBI on November 22, 1963. His employment with the Bureau virtually guaranteed that when Hoover learned that Oswald had been accused of assassinating President Kennedy, he would go into “cover-up mode” immediately. Hoover knew that HARVEY Oswald was working for the CIA when he “defected” to the Soviet Union. FBI agents had been monitoring Oswald since his return from the Soviet Union eighteen months earlier. And now, on the day President Kennedy was assassinated, HARVEY Oswald was not only a CIA asset but was also probably working undercover for the FBI.

What we now know about this account of Oswald in Canada comes from a reputable source—Jean Paul Tremblay, a U.S. Customs and Excise agent doing casework on Cuba in Montreal in the summer of 1963. In his documented report, he states that in August of 1963, he learned there was a fellow handing out leaflets for Cuba on St. Jacques and McGill Streets and walked up to the young man and got one, making note of his looks. He would later positively identify the man as Lee Oswald. He also took note that Oswald was not alone but accompanied by three individuals; two men and a woman. Two of three people, a blonde, freckle faced man and a short, heavyset woman, agent Tremblay would later identify from a photograph of participants in the Quebec-Washington-Guantanamo Walk for Peace, which had occurred in June of 1963. Both of these individuals would later be identified as Fred Moore and Erika Enzer. It is unknown if there were follow up interviews with these people. If so, we would have two more witnesses to Oswald being in Montreal.

Under the government-approved narrative, Oswald can’t be in Canada. He’s dirt poor, his wife does not acknowledge any trips during this period and if he does travel there, where does he get the money? How does he go via bus, train, or plane? However, as John Newman points out in his book Oswald and the CIA, the FBI acknowledges missing Oswald’s whereabouts from April to June in 1963. Oswald is supposed to be working at the William Reily Coffe Company during this time, being terminated for theft, on July 19.

More importantly, Tremblay’s report made it to the upper channels of the government. In one released document (link) , an Airgram that was sent to the Department of State by the United States Consul General in Canada. Two sources are listed. Agent Tremblay, and an unnamed police officer quoted as a source in a Montreal Star newspaper article dated from November 27. At first they discount the affair, but then add: “However, there may be something to the story.”

Traveling down the rabbit trial again I keep crossing paths with Oswald handing out the Free Play for Cuba pamphlets on Canal Street in New Orleans. There are a lot of things at play here and many other things that remain a mystery to this day. As I trek down this trail I see there is a lot more going on here than just a guy handing out flyers; this story travels far and wide from New Orleans to Montreal.

First of all, Lee H. Oswald is the only member (and president) of the FPFC committee in New Orleans. An organization for the support of Castro and communist Cuba, that was established in 1960 and went out of operation soon after the assassination. Even after all of the publicity Oswald gets on local TV showing him handling out the pamphlets, has his altercation with anti Castro Cubans, gets arrested, does his TV interview and radio debate—he’s still the only member. Nobody ever joins. After he later moves to Dallas, he never hooks up with the FPFC committee there.

The Crusade to Free Cuba Committee was founded in December 1961 by anti-Castro Cuban exile Sergio Arcacha Smith to raise funds and support for the CIA-backed Cuban Revolutionary Council, a group formerly known as the Cuban Democratic Revolutionary Front.[1][2]

Bush had ties to George DeMohrenschildt, a fervent anti-Communist and Texas oil man , was one of Oswald’s close friends and possibly a C.I.A. handler. Count George de Mohrenshildt, a murky figure tied to the intelligence world, also had the senior Bush’s phone number on him when he committed suicide in 1978. George DeMohrenschildt was to later admit that a C.I.A. man suggest he befriend Oswald. He helped Oswald find apartments and jobs and sponsored him in Houston Society. De Mohrenschildt shot himself before being called to talk to the House Select Committee on Assassinations.

New Orleans[edit]

Oswald rented an apartment in this building in Uptown New Orleans c. May–September 1963

Oswald passing out “Fair Play for Cuba” leaflets in New Orleans, August 16, 1963

Oswald’s mugshot following his arrest in New Orleans, August 9, 1963
Oswald returned to New Orleans on April 24, 1963.[93] Marina’s friend, Ruth Paine, drove her by car from Dallas to join Oswald in New Orleans the next month in May.[94] On May 10, Oswald was hired by the Reily Coffee Company whose owner, William Reily, was a backer of the Crusade to Free Cuba Committee, an anti-Castro organization.[95] Oswald worked as a machinery greaser at Reily, but he was fired in July “…because his work was not satisfactory and because he spent too much time loitering in Adrian Alba’s garage next door, where he read rifle and hunting magazines.”[96][97]

On May 26, Oswald wrote to the New York City headquarters of the pro-Castro Fair Play for Cuba Committee, proposing to rent “…a small office at my own expense for the purpose of forming a FPCC branch here in New Orleans.”[98] Three days later, the FPCC responded to Oswald’s letter advising against opening a New Orleans office “at least not … at the very beginning.”[99] In a follow-up letter, Oswald replied, “Against your advice, I have decided to take an office from the very beginning.”[100]

As the sole member of the New Orleans chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, Oswald ordered the following items from a local printer: 500 application forms, 300 membership cards, and 1,000 leaflets with the heading, “Hands Off Cuba.”[101] According to Lee Oswald’s wife Marina, Lee told her to sign the name “A.J. Hidell” as chapter president on his membership card.[102]

On August 5 and 6, according to anti-Castro militant Carlos Bringuier, Oswald visited him at a store he owned in New Orleans. Bringuier was the New Orleans delegate for the Student Revolutionary Directorate (DRE), an anti-Castro organization. Bringuier would later tell the Warren Commission that he believed Oswald’s visits were an attempt by Oswald to infiltrate his group.[103] On August 9, Oswald turned up in downtown New Orleans handing out pro-Castro leaflets. Bringuier confronted Oswald, claiming he was tipped off about Oswald’s leafleting by a friend. A scuffle ensued and Oswald, Bringuier, and two of Bringuier’s friends were arrested for disturbing the peace.[104] Before leaving the police station, Oswald asked to speak with an FBI agent. Agent John Quigley arrived and spent over an hour talking to Oswald.[105]

A week later, on August 16, Oswald again passed out Fair Play for Cuba leaflets with two hired helpers, this time in front of the International Trade Mart. The incident was filmed by WDSU—the local TV station.[106] The next day, Oswald was interviewed by WDSU radio commentator William Stuckey, who probed Oswald’s background.[107][108] A few days later, Oswald accepted Stuckey’s invitation to take part in a radio debate with Carlos Bringuier and Bringuier’s associate Edward Butler, head of the right-wing Information Council of the Americas (INCA).[107][109]

One of Oswald’s Fair Play for Cuba leaflets had the address “544 Camp Street” hand-stamped on it, apparently by Oswald himself.[110] The address was in the “Newman Building” which, from October 1961 to February 1962, housed the militant anti-Castro group, the Cuban Revolutionary Council.[111][112] Around the corner but located in the same building, with a different entrance, was the address 531 Lafayette Street—the address of “Guy Banister Associates”, a private detective agency run by former FBI agent Guy Banister. Banister’s office was involved in anti-Castro and private investigative activities in the New Orleans area. (A CIA file indicated that in September 1960, the CIA had considered “…using Guy Banister Associates for the collection of foreign intelligence, but ultimately decided against it.”)[113][114]
