4907 Magazine St. The house in New Orleans where Lee & Marina Oswald lived until moving to Dallas in August of 1963 (3 months before assassination). He’d sit on this porch for hours and work the bolt action on his rifle.
I don’t want to build anyone up in death beyond what they were in life, but I think it’d be impossible to do with Farley. He was that great. Still makes me laugh more than anyone, and it still stings that he’s gone. This is worth a watch, and good on Sandler for it.
I must be the odd one out, because I never found him that funny. But I will say that my sample size of his work is pretty small as once I didn't laugh, I didn't go out of my way to watch any more of his stuff.
Between working at Reilly Coffee (owned and operated by active anti-communists), masquerading as the secretary of a nonexistent FPFC chapter, and checking in daily at Guy Banister (who had his hand in many things anti-communists), Oswald didn’t have much time for sitting around on his porch. Let’s not even get started on the very odd process of Oswald acquiring the Carcano.
Do you mean the menial job oiling equipment with Reily Coffee that he held from May 9th - July 19th, 1963, and was subsequently fired from, because he didn’t want to do the work? And the owners of that company were “active anti-communists”, you say? Who in New Orleans wasn’t an “active anti-communist” in 1963? It’s this job left him no time to do much of anything else, like order 1,000 FPFC leaflets from Jones printing on June 9th, 1963 is that your assertion? That no one with an entry-level job has the time to do an errand? And Oswald did request and received a charter from the National FPFC Committee for his proposed New Orleans Branch....he was just the only member. Now, how he possibly found the time to write any letters while also holding a job oiling machines is anyone’s guess. Can you tell me more about his “daily check-ins with Guy Bannister” - and please start with your factual citations, first? Admittedly, your allegations that he was working with all of these “anti-communists” in New Orleans is a curious turn of events for a person who was such a self-professed and ardent Marxist, that he had earlier moved to the Soviet Union, attempted to renounce his US citizenship, and later made contact with the Cuban Embassy in hopes of gaining a visa so as to trave there from Mexico City, and for the admitted purpose of supporting Castro’s new socialist regime (and which they quickly denied). Or, here is a radio show called “Latin Listening Post” and which Oswald appears in August of 1963, and you can hear his own thoughts on Marxism and Cuba, first-hand, from his own mouth: Or, if you need further proof of Oswald’s sitting on the porch at night, practicing working the action of his rifle, perhaps the sworn testimony of his wife, Marina, might prove helpful: Can you tell me more about your understanding of the “very odd process” of Oswald’s obtaining the rifle? It seems straightforward to me, but perhaps I’ve missed some critical or complicated element. I enjoy the discussion and will be glad to examine or be educated on anything associated with it.
Everytime I see the title of this thread, it makes me think I'm going to read cuddle stories between Tenny and NYY... Not sure why I keep clicking on it.
I cannot fathom how anyone in this day and age can still hold the belief that Oswald was part of some grand conspiracy to kill the President. He ordered a gun. Got into the building and put three rounds through JFK. Done.
