The conspiracy historian John Newman (and some posters here: see the threads on this issue) have said that Oswadl's visit to Mexico City was faked or staged by the real murderers of JFK. It was undertaken to connect Oswald to either Cuba or the Soviets and when the subsequent WC investigation was done and it discovered these contacts everything was stopped out of a fear that it could lead to a war with Moscow.
Other conspiracy believers such as Peter Dale Scott and Bill Simpich said this was faked by elements of the CIA in order to blame Castro and justify an overthrow of the regime.
Newman's thesis is laid out here: http://www.jfklancer.com/backes/newman/newman_1.html
The noted Mary Ferrell JFK assassination site has numerous articles making these same general claims. That is, the visit was faked. That is here: https://www.maryferrell.org/pages/Oswald_in_Mexico_City.html
Back to the question: The evidence is he went to MC. What is the counter evidence that he was seen or went elsewhere? We consider the evidence he went, we look at alternative explanations and make a judgment.
Another question for you, Steve? How would this anti-Castro propagandist, Barnes, know how to "recognize" what is attributed to him, here? Barnes's Florida address just happened to be in proximity of where
JMWAVE was first set up by Justin whats-his-name, in Coral Gables. Barnes is accounted for in the Mexican customs records @maryferrell.org, at the time in question!!

......While JMWAVE was by far the biggest, it was neither the first nor the only CIA presence in Miami . That distinction belonged to Justin F. "Jay" Gleichauf, who arrived shortly after Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista fled into exile on New Year's Day of 1959. Gleichauf told his story more than 40 years later in an unclassified CIA publication. "I had no inkling [when Batista fell] that within two weeks I would be in Miami as head - and sole staffer - of a newly authorized office of the Domestic Contacts Division in the Directorate of Intelligence," he wrote.
Gleichauf opened an overt CIA office at 299 Alhambra Circle in Coral Gables. Its basic function was to be a Cuba "listening post." To aid his effort, Gleichauf listed a CIA number - but no address - in the phone book and passed out business cards with his home number, resulting in calls from "a motley collection of weirdos" as well as some irate Castro supporters.......
And Steve, I began this post quoting Henry Breck, former CIA agent. In your belief system, neither GHW Bush, nor Tony Lapham, Bush's chosen CIA consul had any prior CIA affiliation, despite Bush, a one year DCI being honored with his name on the CIA building.
Lapham and Henry Breck attended no schools in common and I find nothing leading to their extremely close relationship.....maybe I'm just not thorough enough? LOL !
