Dear David Von Pein:
My name is [A.R.]. You have never heard of me. But don't worry. I mean
you no harm. I am not going to be a nuisance. This is a JFK e-mail. I
am a subscriber to Walt Brown's Deep Politics and to the British
Dealey Plaza Echo.
I saw on the internet---you came up on a Google search---that late
last year you were in correspondence with Walt Brown on how Oswald
learnt Russian. This is a topic in which I have a great interest.
In last November's Echo I had published a 3,800 word article entitled
"Evidence That Oswald was a Natural Russian Speaker". This article was
an abbreviation of a 9,500 word article (listed under this e-mail
attachment as "The Fuller Version").
My intention is to expand this Fuller Version into a 20,000 word
investigation into Oswald and the Russian language, containing as wide
a range of viewpoints as possible.
I must point out that my views---at the moment---are strongly on Walt
Brown's side, but I am very amenable to persuasion by facts and
argument. .... What do you think?
Yours, A.R.

[A.R.],
Thanks for your mail. I'll try and make the time to read the attached
article you sent me.
My "In-a-Nutshell" stance on Oswald being able to speak Russian fairly
fluently is this ---
The whole issue is a rather moot point, in my opinion. And that's
because it's obvious that the New Orleans-born individual known as Lee
Harvey Oswald absolutely, positively WAS able to read, write, and
speak the Russian language (and, no, I don't believe for even one
second that there was an "Oswald Imposter" floating around Texas in
1963).
If I recall Walt Brown's opinion correctly on this from late last
year, Walt is of the opinion that the "LHO" who gave the short
"Midnight Press Conference" on 11/22/63 could not possibly in a
million years have learned to speak Russian with any fluency or
proficiency whatsoever.
That opinion, IMO, is just flat-out silly, based on the rock-solid
FACT that LHO did, indeed, speak (and write) Russian fairly well.
Inventing a "second" Oswald to fit some ill-conceived conspiracy
theory and to explain the gaps in logic that virtually all conspiracy
theories contain is, in my view, a cop-out.
Bottom Line -- Lee Harvey Oswald spoke Russian pretty well, and he was
not a native Russian citizen. He was an American who lived most of his
24 years in Texas, Louisiana, and New York.
Therefore, regardless of anyone's subjective answer to this question
that Walt Brown was asking in late 2008: "How Could Oswald Have
Learned Russian When He Couldn't Even Pronounce The Word 'Ask'
Correctly?" -- the fact is: Lee Harvey Oswald DID learn the Russian
language (despite his dyslexia).
Best Regards,
David Von Pein
