John Armstrong's Harvey and Lee

[Jim Hargrove]

This hypothesis involves the creation of two Lee Harvey Oswalds in childhood, before LHO was assigned to any mission.

Hi, Jan,

Yes, as outlandish as that sounds, that is precisely our contention! We believe the long-term project was to take a Russian-speaking child, give him an American identity and experiences, and make him a spy somewhere in the Soviet Block. The evidence John has collected for two Oswalds goes back to 1952 and 1954.

Here's the first paragraph from the website:

• JFK researcher John Armstrong has shown the Warren Commission combined the biographies of two different people to arrive at the classic legend of Lee Harvey Oswald. A Russian speaking youth, possibly of Hungarian parents, was brought to the U.S. following World War II and given the name HARVEY Oswald. HARVEY was of small stature, quiet, slightly malnourished, and lived with a short, heavy-set Marguerite Oswald impostor who never smiled. New Orleans born LEE Oswald was tall, husky, and athletic. As a youth LEE lived with half-brother John Pic, brother Robert Oswald, and his tall, nice-looking mother, Marguerite Claverie Oswald. A program created by US intelligence merged the identities of Russian-speaking HARVEY and American-born LEE Oswald. The result, ten years later, was that young Russian-speaking HARVEY had an American background and birth certificate. HARVEY was an ideal candidate to "defect" to the Soviet Union and work as an undercover agent who secretly understood Russian. HARVEY "defected" and two years later returned to America with a Russian wife and child. A year later this former "defector" was handing out literature in support of Castro and Cuba. Unknown to HARVEY, he had become the ideal candidate to frame for the assassination of President Kennedy. And also unknown to HARVEY were the activities of LEE Oswald in the summer and fall of 1963, when LEE was impersonating HARVEY and helping to set up HARVEY as the accused assassin of President Kennedy.
