Intentional Confusion

(Excerpts) (passage omitted) The American public, shaken
by the tragic death of President Kennedy, follows closely the course of
investigation into the circumstances of the assassination. For two days police
have been questioning closely a certain Oswald, a former marine. The Dallas
police have alleged that the suspected Oswald was at one time the head of the
Fair Play for Cuba Committee in New Orleans. As is known, that organization
speaks for the normalization of U.S.-Cuban relations. But the leader of the Fair
Play for Cuba Cuba Committee has stated that Oswald's name is unknown to them.
Moreover, it has been discovered that there was never a branch of the committee
at New Orleans.
Yet all those who can profit by fanning anti-Cuban hysteria
in the United States have seized upon Oswald's evidence. Despite the State
Department statement to the effect that no foreign state was involved in
Kennedy's murder, the rightwing extremists elements, responsible for what
happened in Texas, are attempting to make capital of the Dallas police reports.
Today an attempt was made on the life of Lee Harvey Oswald,
who has been accused of having assassinated U.S. President Kennedy. This
happened while Oswald was being transferred from the city prison to the county
prison. The unconscious Oswald has been taken to the hospital in which President
Kennedy died.
The circumstances of the villainous murder of John Kennedy
are being intentionally confused by certain interested U.S. circles. The new
shots fired at Dallas throw additional light on this monstrous crime. Sooner or
later the American people and world public opinion will learn the name of the
real assassin of the U.S. President.
