It deals with the evolution of the photo of Oswald that appeared in the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram concerning his defection to the Soviet Union.
Anyone with the least inclination towards honesty will have to admit that this was not the Lee Harvey Oswald of fame, whom we call "Harvey."
Can we all just be adult here and admit that that is not the Lee Harvey Oswald of fame? So, where did that picture come from? Who is it? And how was it made? John Armstrong answers those questions at the link below:

This is how he concludes his presentation:
This evidence of photo manipulation begs the obvious questions: Who did it and for what purpose? Who managed to get the odd version of the original photo placed in the Ft. Worth newspaper?
Few individuals in the days before computers became commonplace had the skills to make such alterations, or in this case the motivation to do so. A newspaper or wire service would have access to people with the required photo retouching and alteration abilities, but it is difficult to imagine why such an organization would have any interest in making these odd modifications. An intelligence agency, on the other hand, intent on creating a fog of public perception around an undercover agent being sent to the Soviet Union on assignment, would have every reason--and certainly the ability--to make these strange alterations. In the years since the Kennedy assassination, it has also been learned that the CIA had numerous "elite media assets" placed with many U.S. print and electronic media news organizations. Many of these assets would have had the ability to to slip the odd "defection" photograph into the public record.
