Back in the day when we had Reporters instead of the upmarket 'Journalists' we endure now, a woman working for
United Press International got the opportunity to interview a pre-assassination Lee Harvey Oswald about his reasons
for defecting to the Soviet Union.
“I am a Marxist,” Oswald told Aline Mosby of the UPI, “...I became interested about the age of 15. An old lady handed
me a pamphlet about saving the Rosenbergs. I still remember that pamphlet... I don’t know why. Then we moved to
North Dakota." Oswald continued with his boasting "... I discovered one book in the library, ‘Das Kapital.’ It was what
I’d been looking for. It was like a very religious man opening the Bible the first time.”
During the Warren Commission, Aline Mosby's story was presented and the words “North Dakota” (N.D) had been
changed to “New Orleans” (N.O). An alteration that remains a mystery to this day.
This was confirmation that Alma Cole -a resident of Stanley, North Dakota was correct when she sent a letter to
President Lyndon Johnson three weeks after Kennedy's death claiming that a boy called Oswald had befriended
her son in the oil-booming town. Mrs Cole added that this youngster had bragged to her boy that 'someday he
was going to kill a president'.
The FBI checked with neighbours of Alma Cole to verify her claims and due to the fluctuating behaviour of people
working in oil fields at that time, most couldn't recall a boy of Oswald's description. However, Mrs Cole's son did
state that he remembered him as Harv or Harvey Oswald, and his description matched the age and traits of the
real Oswald as a teenager.
Years later, two researchers (John Delane Williams and Gary Severson) discovered a Tailor -Mr Lyle Aho, residing
in the city of Stanley, North Dakota who remembered an 'older boy' he got to know during the same time period
that Mrs Cole's son had been hanging around with 'Harv'.
This friend of Aho -who liked to be called 'Lee', had once asked him and another friend to go to Cuba and make
money. Lyle Aho added that Lee suggested they 'train' to be qualified to attain this unknown bounty, but never
enlarged on what sort of preparation this was. Mr Ado's friend was later contacted about this encounter by the
researchers, he said he remembered a teenager named Lee and also remembered the talk about Cuba and
that Lee was a fast talker.
North Dakota changed to New Orleans... odd indeed.
