Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

Oswald went to Russia, but he didn't do anything in Russia, that we know of, in the way of spying. He worked at the radio factory, and when he wasn't working, he was going to parties, chasing girls, occasionally going rabbit hunting with his friends, and then he met Marina. And she said that he spoke Russian very well and fluently. Except, she said his accent sounded more like a Russian speaker from  one of the Baltic countries, such as Lithuania. 

That's ironic because John Armstrong assumes that the Oswald of fame was a East European refugee from World War 2, and maybe he was from was Lithuania or another Baltic country. 

He may have been an orphan. His parents may have been killed in the war.  

When he went to Russia, he went by the name "Alek". as in Alek J. Hidell. Was that his real name? You know that Alek wouldn't be spelled with a k here. It would be Alec. 

So, when he asked Russians to address him as Alek, was that because that was his real name?

And there is no doubt that Marina addressed him as Alek. There is no reason to doubt it. If he was introducing himself in Russia as Alek, why would he make an exception for her? 

So, did she continue to address him as Alek here? I rate the chances of that at  100% . It's very difficult, once you've identified someone by a certain name, to address them by another name.  And I can speak from experience. I have a good friend whose name is John. But, after knowing him for a long time, years, I found out that his family and his other close friends back home in Arkansas call him Mike or Michael, which is his middle name. But, when I found that out, I told him that to me he is John, and that's how it's going to stay. It would be too mind-bending to start calling him Mike. And he was OK with it because when he met a woman and got married, he went by John to her. And they have been married for decades, and like me, she knows him as John. 

And remember that Oswald and Marina spoke to each other in Russian over here, which was his preference. Some have said that he wanted to keep her from learning English, but maybe it was just the opposite; that he wanted to keep from losing his Russian. 

And speaking of that, Oswald definitely did not learn Russian over here or in Japan. He already knew it. And there is very solid proof of that. John Armstrong talked to 6 of Oswald's Marine buddies from Japan, and they said that he never spoke Russian or spoke of wanting to learn Russian. And when he got back here from Japan at the end of October 1958, he went on leave for 30 days, so that was essentially the whole month of November. And when he showed up at the Lighter than Air Marine base near Santa Ana, California in early December, he could speak Russian.  And he certainly didn't learn it in that month on leave.

It's complicated because we know there were two Oswalds. But, there is no evidence, and no reason to believe, that either one of them had the time or opportunity to study Russian.  

Russian must have been Oswald's first  language. The Soviet Union had a policy of "Russification" in which they required the Eastern satellites to switch to Russian, to teach in Russian at school, and to publish newspapers and all State announcements in Russian. 

There is no evidence that Oswald ever bought a book on how to learn Russian or obtained any course materials or attended any classes or got any help whatsoever to learn Russian. Supposedly, with just Russian newspapers and a Russian dictionary, he taught himself Russian. 

 You're going to learn this by yourself?

In our Society, there are some things that are forced down our throats as truisms, that are not only wrong, but outlandishly and preposterously wrong, where the impossibility of it screams at us. Oswald was an 8th grade dropout, and even his writing in English stunk, with numerous spelling and grammatical errors. The idea that he taught himself Russian is beyond wild; it is brazenly absurd. 

And, it is Orwellian. 

"Orwellian" is an adjective describing a situation or societal condition that George Orwell identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free and open society and the individual capacity to think. It denotes an attitude and a brutal policy of draconian control by propaganda, surveillance, misinformation, denial of truth, and thought manipulation through herd indoctrination, where rationality and plausibility become irrelevant." 

The whole official story of the JFK assassination is Orwellian in spades.
