This speech is even better than the one on the 23rd.
Its fuller and deeper in its analysis.
A little bit amazing in that regard.

Castro makes a good point. No fanatic has ever used a rifle with a scope.
No fanatic ever shot someone in such circumstances and didn't immediately take credit and explain why.
No fanatic ever trapped themselves in their place of work.
A person using a scoped rifle would have taken advantage of the scope and planned it from another building where he could escape.
The scope was a disadvantage with a bolt rifle at that range.
No fanatic would plan to get caught by shooting from his workplace and then try to escape.

Good speech Jim. Castro was right on to it as were the Soviets. But Castro was particularly well informed on the ground.

I've often asked lone-nutters, Why didn't Oswald just stand on the sidewalk and rush out into the street with his pistol and shoot JFK at point blank range (like other Presidential assassins?) Because, they say, he wanted to get away (or he was a coward and wanted to shoot from ambush). Well, he had no reasonable expectation of being able to get away from the building under normal circumstances. And he certainly had no carefully thought-out plan of escape (like getting on a bus leaving town). He also didn't bring his pistol with him the last time he was at his boarding house (it would have been easy to carry in a lunch bag), instead having to go back and retrieve it. As for being a coward, that's just the usual psycho-babble.

Did we ever find verification for the speech on the 23rd?
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€

No, not yet anyway.

"Now, the following day, Saturday evening, only 24 hours after Kennedy's death, agents of the Mexican Federal Police arrested an employee of our Consulate"
"The police officers claimed that she had been interrogated as a result of the visit of this man, Oswald, to the Cuban Consulate. How did they know? Who told them? Where did the information come from?"
"No one in the Consulate, not one officer, had identified the individual as the suspect out of all the individuals the hundreds of individuals who had filed a request for a visa"
