2nd interview starts at 1:07:00
Armstrong of course thinks the older, larger man with bushy hair is the "other" Oswald: the older brother Lee (he argues the one whose face we know is in fact Harvey), and that's why there are two wallets etc. I think he also accounts for the different colored jackets in different testimonies by saying each bro had a different jacket. He does a deep dive on the jackets somewhere on blackopradio.com, I think the 2025 season but maybe 2024, check listings there at Osanic's site, all the links & notes are listed together on one page for each season. There's also a dive on the edited DPD radio transcripts.

John has SIX new videos on Youtube he's created, highlighting the police transcriptions of 11/22/63.
John's book Harvey and Lee was published in 2003, with a focus on chronological order of events.
The Tippit murder starts off John's new series of videos, with the Tippit shooting broken down.
John recently discovered the Dallas police transcripts on November 22, 1963 have been altered!
Sgt. Vincent claims he rode with Oswald on a CIA plane that landed in Dallas, later flying to NM.
John feels one Oswald was using ALEK Hidell as an alias, the other Oswald used ALEX.
Alek with a K was the Russian born 'Oswald'.
John explains the four different Dallas Police transcripts that were created
The FBI altered the police transcripts! Why did they change the time of the Tippit murder to 1:15 PM?
John feels Hoover purposely delayed the release of the police transcripts to the Warren Commission.
It's noted in the transcripts that THREE ambulances were dispatched to the Tippet scene. Why 3?
Ambulance driver Jason Butler was at the scene for less than a minute, Tippit's time of death 1:10 P.M.
Why didn't the witnesses or police at the Tippit murder scene mention the multiple ambulances?
Len reflects on John's ability to break down the transcripts so he could recognize the conflicting info.
Rankin wrote to Hoover in June pointing out the discrepancies of Tippit's death happening at 1:10 PM.
Rankin asked the Secret Service in Dallas to get an original transcript from the Dallas Police.
Timelines need to be created with information broken down in order to see the discrepancies.
In 1991 John took a JFK class given by author & researcher Jim Marrs after the JFK movie release.
Reading the Warren Commission volumes has helped expand John's knowledge of the assassination.
Read Airman Palmer McBride's testimony in WC Exhibit 1386, he worked with Oswald in NO.
McBride worked with Lee at the Pfisterer Dental Laboratory in the Fall of '57 into late Spring of '58.
How could McBride be working with Oswald in New Orleans, when Lee had enlisted & was in Japan?
Mcbride's testimony is what got John started thinking about the possibility of two child Oswalds.
In Robert Oswald's WC testimony he stated Lee went to Stripling Junior High School in Ft. Worth.
How could Lee have went to Stripling Junior High when he'd gone to jr high in NY & New Orleans?
The government's version is that Lee graduated from Beauregard High School in New Orleans.
John contacted school district officials, retired teaches & staff to find more information on Lee.
Retired assistant principle Mr. Kudlaty confirmed that Lee had in fact gone to W.C. Spripling Jr. High.
Frank Kudlaty had personally given the FBI Lee's Stripling Jr. High school records.
Where are Lee's Stripling Jr. High school records now?
FBI reports state Lee was in Russia but buying jeeps at Bolton Ford in New Orleans?
Spotting the differences in testimony enabled John to see that there were at least two child Oswalds
George DeMohrenschildt's WC testimony stated he felt Lee's Russian was well developed.
Can a child drop out of the 9th grade & then teach themselves how to read & speak Russian?
John met with Anita Ziger who stated the Lee her family knew in Russia did not speak Russian.
Alexander Ziger, Anita's father, was Oswald's boss in Russia.
John feels the Russian Oswald was brought to the USA as an orphan child shortly after WWII.
Marina stated when she first met Oswald, he spoke Russian, with a Baltic accent.
Was Lee able to learn how to speak Russian by taking courses or attending the language schools?
Who are we to believe? Where did Oswald learn how to speak sophisticated Russian?
Why did Oswald have TWO wallets on him? Why wasn't info about the 2nd wallet disclosed in 1963?

John's book "Harvey & Lee" is available for Download.
Israelis don't want their name mentioned in the JFK files that were recently released. View files.
What Len appreciates is that John understands that Lee Harvey Oswald didn't shoot JFK.
Capt. Westbrook, Croy & Fritz were significant in the cover up around Tippet murder scene.
The 2nd wallet found at the Tippit murder scene was kept secret, helping to frame Oswald.
What happened to the 2nd wallet Westbrook showed at the murder scene? It's disappeared!
The 2nd wallet had two ID cards, one was a "Fair Play For Cuba" card assigned to A. J. Hidell.
These two ID cards were taken from the 2nd wallet & placed in Lee's arrest wallet.
FBI's James Hosty published Assignment Oswald in 1996. Find Here.
https://archive.org/details/assignmentoswald0000host
The very first time people were told of the 2nd wallet was in Hosty's book. How authentic is it?
How truthful are Capt. Fritz's notes? Can they be trusted? John doesn't think so.
When Dallas Police Archives first released JFK related documents, John found discrepancies.
John discusses the two half dollar bills that were discovered with a Dallas Police inscription.
Clandestine activities use two half dollar bills to help covert contacts identify each other.
We don't know when or if Oswald had a pistol at the Texas Theatre. Oswald denied gun was his.
Oswald stated in police station during interrogation that the .38 revolver was planted on him.
John does not feel that Lee had a gun at his rooming house in Dallas.
After WWII ended, the OSS brought over tens of thousands of Easter Europeans refugees.
Many of these refugees were relocated to the New York area, with government sponsorship.
The refugees were used in propaganda campaigns against Russia with CIA help.
John feels a refugee boy was named "Harvey Oswald" & mother caretaker "Marguerite Oswald".
In January 1953 the NY the House of Un-American Activities had a file on a Marguerite Oswald.
This information was disclosed in a CIA Office of Security File. Has it since been released?
In 1995, the ARRB requested access to this CIA file & request was denied. Why?
Mrs. Jack Tippit in Westport, Connecticut was contacted by an "unknown foreign woman".
Was Jack Tippit in Connecticut related to J.D. Tippit in Texas? How random was this phone call?
The woman said she personally knew Lee Harvey Oswald's Hungarian born father & uncle in NY.
Did an Oswald family live near the 77th & 2nd Ave location in Yorkville, New York?
Apparently the woman said the father & uncle were unemployed & in "communistic activities".
The physical description Dr. Renatus Hartog at Youth House of Lee was he was emancipated.
John feels the 1st occurrence of the multiple Marguerites & Lees was in July 1947.
Marguerite & Lee were living with Edwin Ekdahl at 1505 8th Ave in Ft. Worth.
While at the 1505 8th Ave residence, Lee attended Lilly B. Clayton school.
Was there another Marguerite & Lee living at 101 San Saba at the same time in Benbrook?
Marguerite worked for the Navy in WWII prior to her marriage to Edwin Ekdahl.
Did CIA agent James B. Wilcott help fund the "Oswald Project" (codename RX-ZIM)?
Why would the government want to merge the lives of two American & Hungarian boys?
In 1952, Marguerite & Lee moved from Texas to New York, driving a 1948 Dodge.
Lee & Marguerite lived in Manhattan, while "Harvey" & "Marguerite" lived in the Bronx.
