I ask this question because many of the folks who were asked about his leanings by the Warren Commission (WC) said they NEVER saw him or hear him speak of communism, Russia or Cuba.
First up is Daniel Powers, he served with Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) at the Naval Air Technical Center in Florida, Keesler Field in Mississippi, and El Toro Marine base and Japan!
Mr. JENNER. Now, during your service in the Marines, did you become acquainted with a man--fellow marine, known as Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. POWERS. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And do you recall him now?
Mr. POWERS. Yes; I do.
Mr. JENNER. When did you--when did that acquaintance first arise?
Mr. POWERS As to the best of my recollection, this acquaintance first arose when I was en route to Jacksonville---rather from Jacksonville, Fla., to Biloxi, Miss.; attended school there, and he was a member of the group that was--we were traveling together, and was a senior
marine in charge.
Mr. JENNER. Were you the senior marine in charge?
Mr. POWERS. That's correct.
Mr. JENNER. Did he ever express any sympathy toward the Communist Party?
Mr. POWERS. None that I recall.
Mr. JENNER. Toward Communist principles?
Mr. POWERS. None that I recall.
Mr. JENNER. Or Marxist doctrines?
Mr. POWERS. None that I recall; no, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Or did he ever discuss those subjects with you or in your presence?
Mr. POWERS. I'm not sure. He didn't discuss them to any great length or to any issues that I would recall.
This is from the deposition of Daniel Powers. Jim Garrison looked into this topic during his investigation and he compiled the following quotes from others who had served with, or knew LHO for some time.
Donald Peter Camarat:
"I have no recollection...of any remarks on his part concerning communism, Russia or Cuba."
"I never heard Oswald make any anti-American or pro-Communist statements. He claimed to be named after Robert E. Lee, whom he characterized as the greatest man in history."
Allen D. Graf:
"Oswald never gave to me any indication of favoring Communism or opposing Capitalism."
John Rene Heindel:
"Although I generally regarded Oswald as an intelligent person, I did not observe him to be particulary interested in politics or international affairs."
Mack Osborne:
"I do not recall any remarks on his part concerning Communism, Russia or Cuba."
Richard Dennis Call:
"...I do not recall Oswald making serious remarks with regard to Soviet Union or Cuba."
(On The Trail of The Assassins, p. 53)
He highlights the ONLY one who claimed to hear LHO mention these things was Kerry Thornley and he did NOT serve with LHO for as long as most of the others had as well as the fact he did NOT live on the same part of the base as LHO at El Toro.
So I ask again, when did LHO first develop these deep feelings for Marxism and Communism as the WC said he had???
