A photograph of Perry Russo from the files Richard Billings. Dallas Morning News, March 15, 1967 Money Quote: "I never heard of Oswald until on television (until) the assassination," Russo said in the interview. He said Ferrie never mentioned Oswald's name. Here is a link to a post about that interview. And yet here is Russo's testimony at the trial: And then there is this from the grand jury: And here is what Russo said at the preliminary hearing: Russo's interview on WDSU w

Did Lee Harvey Oswald see this story? He read yesterday's newspapers every day at the the Depository, so it is likely he saw this -- probably on Wednesday, November 20, 1963. I am sure he would have been incensed by this story. This was discussed in the Warren Report.

Chad Nagle has written an article for Jefferson Morley's Substack on MK-Ultra and Lee Harvey Oswald. Back in 1983, when online publishing was barely a twinkle in anyone’s eye, Rolling Stone magazine published an article entitled, “Did Lee Harvey Oswald Drop Acid?” Co-authored by Martin Lee, Robert Ranftel, and Jeff Cohen, it tells an uncorroborated yet intriguing tale suggesting that MKULTRA may have somehow caught JFK’s accused assassin in its web. A respected New Orleans as

Hat tip: Randy Owen published a comparison of the Oswald letters on Facebook, and Paul Hoch sent me additional information.

Included in the file was this letter by Lee Harvey Oswald to the American Embassy in 1960. It is described in the listing as: Letter from L. H.
