Join me for an illuminating discussion with renowned researcher and author Larry Hancock and his coauthor David Boylan as we preview their new book entitled The Oswald Puzzle. In a fascinating two hours we touch upon everything from Marina's request for a washing machine to Oswald's conversations while he was detained after the Carlos Bringuier scuffle.
JFK researchers and authors Larry Hancock and David Boylan take the full
measure of the information collected by the Warren Commission and add
their own extensive historical research to present a highly contrarian
picture of Oswald’s character, political worldview, and personal
agendas. In doing so they explore his relationship with the FBI, his
entanglement by the CIA, and the details of how he came to be used and
ultimately framed for the assassination of President Kennedy.
The Oswald Puzzle engages not only the official picture of Oswald as a
‘lone nut assassin,’ but also with the with the most contentious Oswald
related issues commonly discussed with the JFK research community. It
will be liked by some and passionately opposed by others – but virtually
everyone will find something new in it, and something to talk about.

Transcript

Lee Harvey Oswald's trip to Mexico is one of the most mysterious aspects of the JFK assassination case, and some say it holds the key to understanding what really happened and who was actually involved. Today's episode Part 9 is the ninth episode in this miniseries and concludes the Russian Embassy story that we began in Part 8. In Part 9, we pick the action back up on Saturday morning with another Oswald visit to the Russian Embassy, in one last ditch effort to secure a Russian visa. In this episode, we continue reading rom the book Passport to Assassination which was written by one of the three KGB agents who worked in the Soviet Consulate and who dealt with Oswald during his visit that September. And we tell the story of Oswald's encounter with Valery Kostikov the famed KGB agent who worked in the Soviet Embassy and was a member of the 13th Department, responsible for sabotage and assassinations.
The evidence in this part of the case is confounding and it may be one of the toughest assignments yet for all of us, including you, the jury, to sort through it all. Come join us as we review one of the most fascinating story tells regarding the JFK assassination, and as we borrow heavily from so many great researchers including the work of Jefferson Morley who wrote Our Man In Mexico and John Armstrong who wrote Harvey and Lee, two of the most detailed and spellbinding books every written on the JFK assassination. Investigations by others, including John Newman and Peter Dale Scott, and the HSCA's Lopez Report contribute to the richness of our story tell about what happened...really...in Mexico City....

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Lee Harvey Oswald's trip to Mexico is one of the most mysterious aspects of the JFK assassination case, and some say it holds the key to understanding what really happened and who was actually involved. Today's episode Part 8 is the eighth episode in this miniseries and the story tell continues in part 9 as well. We begin by listening to investigators from the HSCA and the ARRB who spent considerable effort to further the Mexico City investigation beyond where the Warren Commission left off. We then get back to Oswald in Mexico as Oswald finishes Friday. He is still vigorously pursuing visas to Cuba and Russia, but with no luck. By the time Friday is over, he has completed three visits to the Cuban Consulate and one visit to the Soviet Embassy. We pick the action back up on Saturday morning with Another Oswald visit to the Russian Embassy, in one last ditch effort to secure a Russian visa. In this episode, and in episode 245, we read from the book Passport to Assassination which was written by one of the three KGB agents who worked in the Soviet Consulate and who dealt with Oswald during his visit that September. And we tell the story of Oswald's encounter with Valery Kostikov the famed KGB agent who worked in the Soviet Embassy and was a member of the 13th Department, responsible for sabotage and assassinations. The episode also covers the strange follow on call allegedly made by Silvia Duran from the Cuban Consulate to the Soviet consulate at 11:51 AM that Saturday morning, where Duran hands the phone over so Oswald can speak once again to the Russians.
The evidence in this part of the case is confounding and it may be one of the toughest assignments yet for all of us, including you, the jury, to sort through it all.

Lee Harvey Oswald's trip to Mexico is one of the most mysterious aspects of the JFK assassination case, and some say it holds the key to understanding what really happened and who was actually involved. Today's episode Part 7 is the seventh episode in this miniseries. In Part 7 we pick the action up as Oswald has checked into the hotel in Mexico and now heads immediately to the Cuban Consulate in search of a transit visa. We follow Oswald on Friday's odyssey, including three visits to the Cuban Consulate and one visit to the Soviet Embassy. Oswald's efforts to obtain a transit visa that would allow him to travel to Cuba are ultimately thwarted that day, and some of the most important events of his visit happen on Friday including his only known and verifiable interaction with Silvia Duran. And some of the confounding questions begin to arise as well, on whether it was the authentic Oswald (or not) that visited the Cuban Consulate and the Soviet Embassy. And what to make of the phone calls to the Soviet Embassy in the minutes after his arrival in Mexico City. Calls that seem difficult for him to have made and that clearly don't seem to be Oswald, because they were spoken in Spanish, a language he could not speak. And luck would have it that his four visits that day, three to the Cuban Consulate and one to the Soviet Embassy, all escaped the America surveillance cameras with no photographs either taken or surviving for posterity. Was that accomplished for the reasons explained by the CIA, or was it done deliberately for another reason?

We're exploring aspect of the Mexico City story that ultimately impacted what the government decided that it could not reveal and highlight about Mexico City at that moment...now just beginning to explore the curious role of the CIA and its involvement in the Mexico City affair.....and the plume of suspicions that Mexico creates for the CIA... Come join us as we take you through an entire mini-series of episodes that explore what we know and we don't know about Oswald and his trip to Mexico City. We will take you from the moment he left New Orleans and traveled to Mexico City, through his time there and his return to the United States.. That is...if he even went at all..to Mexico ....or rather if he was not the only Oswald who was in Mexico in late September and early October. The plot thickens almost immediately. The evidence in this part of the case is confounding and it may be one of the toughest assignments yet for all of us, including you, the jury, to sort through it all.
