critique:
convoluted. full of typing errors, missing words, sentences that don't make sense, acronyms used before they're explained, or never explained. appears to be a left-leaning journey down memory lane for the purpose of remembering how great the fpcc was/is, and to pretend they achieved something.
some of the tidbits are enticing though.
according to my faulty memory, the head of fpcc new york testified that oswald was not a member, that he had no authority to open a chapter in new orleans and that he had received a letter from oswald expressing interest and mailed flyers back in response.
i have no idea about tv coverage, but oswald did do a radio debate in new orleans and presented himself as the head of the local fpcc chapter. recordings of this exist, or partial recordings.
as i recall, oswald did well during the debate and came off like the winner. my faulty memory says he had two opponents, one a right-wing religious figure of local importance.
as i further recall, the fpcc head in new york got news of oswald's antics on the streets and airwaves of new orleans, , and ordered him to stop because it was discrediting their organization.
with the local anti-castro groups, oswald alternately offered them military training manuals and got into fisticuffs with them.
regarding the "unknown citizen" who passed on one of oswald's descriptions to dallas police, the anti-castro groups fingered oswald as the assassin within half an hour, according to one source i don't recall. if you read the fbi/cia memo sent by one george bush of houston the day after, it makes sense to think george bush made sure the anti-castro people fingered oswald, and not someone else.
memory is so fickle though.
