I am going to order a copy of the book you mentioned in your Post .
Thanks again .

It's been close to 50 years since I've read these books, but some of the things that you'll read about will stand out. Before Dallas, Oswald lived in New Orleans and was an advocate for "Fairplay for Cuba" organization. Oswald is seen below handing out pamplets for the group. Mark Lane believed the group was so outlandish that it's real intent was to do just the opposite, to make people resent Cuba even more. On the pamplets the address at the bottom was actually a CIA office in New Orleans.
Thinking back to Oswald's CIA connections, he was taught Russian by the Marines. While stationed in Germany he goes AWOL to Russia for 3 years. When he returns he's not punished, I had a relative in the Army in the early sixties and he went AWOL for 6 months and turned himself in, he got six months in the stockade, Oswald nothing.
You'll read how Ruby was never a big political guy or involved in politics, he ran a topless bar for the mafia. Yet, he's so motivated he has to go kill the President's assassin, sounds more like the CIA leaning on the mob to shut Oswald up forever. There's talk about the Dallas Police Officer Tippet and how he was a regular at Ruby's bar. How Oswald was found so quickly clear across town while sitting in a movie theater. There are so many unusual occurences, it makes you wonder how the truth could stay hidden for so long. Not to mention the FBI, and how J. Edgar hated the Kennedy's and what role the FBI might of played. Once you start reading these books, you'll want to get more.
