IF LHO had pulled this off
like any infamous assassin in the history of mankind
he would have said WHY he did it and HOW he did it
assassins want a platform
thats why they do what they do
particularly a politically motivated assassination like this
with a man not shy about expressing his rather extreme political views
he proudly shows DeMorinchild the pic of him and the rifle
he was boastful
even arrogantly so
this does not fit
he proudly shows DeMorinchild the pic of him and the rifle. he was boastful even arrogantly so, this does not fitI believe that Lee showed De M the B.Y. photo that he had developed and retouched.....Lee had created the photo to fool the viewer into believing that they were looking at a photo of a armed and ready communist revolutionary. He hoped the photo would be seen by Castro's agents so he could gain access to Castroland.
He and George had worked on the scheme to get Lee into Cuba where he could possibly pick up information about the Russian missiles that may have been there.
At the time Lee displayed the photo to George ....George laughed at the incongruity of the photo...thought is was funny..... He knew damned well that Lee was an American spy who had been back from Russia by the US government who hoped that he would accept a mission of attempting to gain access to Cuba. Both Lee And George knew that General Walker was a Nazi , and an avowed anticommunist, who advocated the assassination of Fidel Castro. Thus by staging an attempt to shoot Walker they thought that the fugitive Lee Oswald would be welcomed to Cuba. When George saw the photo that Lee had autographed for him , He jokingly inscribed the back of the photo " Hunter of fascists" ha, ha, ha....
