Lee Harvey Oswald and the Curious Phone Call to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City
On a balmy day in October 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald made a fateful phone call to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. This call, which has been documented by the CIA, is now seen as one of the most mysterious and provocative pieces of evidence related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at why this conversation might have been a ruse orchestrated by the CIA and what their motivations were for distancing themselves from Oswald.
Was this conversation a ruse?
Many believe that this conversation was indeed a ruse orchestrated by the CIA in order to deflect blame away from them and onto someone else. While it is unclear who exactly was behind this plan, there are several possible explanations as to why they would do so. Firstly, it could be speculated that they wanted to distance themselves from Oswald due to his associations with communism and Marxist ideologies — something that could have potentially led to questions about their own involvement or support of these ideologies if they were linked too closely with him.
The second explanation is that they wanted to create an alternate narrative that implicated another country or entity in Kennedy’s assassination — namely, the Soviet Union. By having Oswald make this call, it could be inferred that he had some involvement or connection with them, which could then be used as an excuse or justification for his actions.
What motivation did the CIA have to distance themselves from Oswald?
The primary motivation for why the CIA would want to distance themselves from Oswald is because of his political affiliations and views; he was a Marxist misfit who had expressed admiration for Fidel Castro and held communist ideals — all things which would not reflect well on the US government during such turbulent times in international relations. Additionally, since it has been revealed that there were many questionable activities going on within intelligence circles at this time (such as Operation Mongoose) any further connection between Oswald and these agencies could potentially lead to further investigations into those operations as well.
The phone call made by Lee Harvey Oswald seven weeks before his assassination of President John F. Kennedy remains one of history’s most mysterious pieces of evidence related to his death — but it may also provide clues as to what motivated him and what role (if any) other entities may have played in his decision-making process leading up to November 22nd 1963. It is possible that this phone call was indeed part of a ruse orchestrated by the CIA in order to deflect blame away from them; however, without more information, it will remain difficult to definitively answer any questions regarding their motivations for doing so. Intelligence agencies are great at diverting attnion. Whatever happened during those seven weeks leading up to Kennedy’s assassination remains shrouded in mystery—but hopefully, more details can be obtained over time through further research into archived documents and interviews with those involved at the time.
