Could a secret trip to Finland hold the key to an unresolved chapter in American history?
Documents that were kept secret for 60 years have finally been released by the Finnish Security Intelligence Service (Supo), according to YLE.
On the night of October 10, 1959, Lee Harvey Oswald checked into Helsinki’s Hotel Torni. His passport identified him as an American, and he booked room 309 for five days.
However, after just two nights, Oswald abruptly left, claiming a desire to return to the US, a statement later proven false.
Oswald’s Mysterious Movements In Helsinki
Oswald’s actions in Finland puzzled authorities. After leaving Hotel Torni, he moved to Klaus Kurki Hotel on October 12, signing for room 607. He stayed there for three nights.
The Finnish security police, Supo, tried but failed to understand Oswald’s motives or activities during his stay. A memo from July 9, 1964, admitted, ‘There are no other means of controlling Oswald’s movement anymore.’
The Warren Commission And Oswald’s Visa
The Warren Commission report revealed that Oswald applied for a Soviet visa in Helsinki on October 12, receiving it surprisingly fast by October 14. On October 15, he left for the Soviet Union, contradicting initial reports that he travelled to Stockholm.
The Commission noted, ‘The protection police inspector was right when he assessed that Oswald had been in Helsinki “apparently waiting for a visa”.’
Oswald’s route to Helsinki remained unclear. Supo’s records, based on hotel registries and passport lists, didn’t clarify his movements before arriving in Finland. Supo concluded he likely travelled via Stockholm, but the exact details were lost as passenger lists were destroyed by 1963.
Oswald’s Ambitions And Final Days
Oswald’s passport application, filled out in Los Angeles on September 11, 1959, mentioned aspirations to study at the University of Turku, Finland. However, his true destination was the Soviet Union.
After defecting and living in Minsk until 1962, Oswald returned to the US, where he was implicated in the assassination of President Kennedy in November 1963. He was shot by Jack Ruby two days later, before a trial could take place.
The Warren Commission concluded Oswald acted alone, but questions about his time in Finland and the rapid acquisition of a Soviet visa remain part of the enigmatic backdrop to one of the 20th century’s most notorious events.
Those Finns seem to have their fingers in a lot of sh*t pies!
Quick! Someone research if Ted Cruz’s father visited Finland! LOL
And you just Lapp it up.
There is no Kennedy assassination mystery. Lee Oswald did it. The “mystery” is just a hobby for diehard conspiracy theorists with nothing better to do with their lives.
BS
What about Occam’s Razor? If Oswald was a person who defected to the USSR, they had no involvement?
You are obviously not up to speed on the document releases of the last few years.
There are several witness that give Oswald an iron clad alibi during the assassination.
He was on the second floor of the Texas School Book Depository and walked into the cafeteria to get a soda from the soda machine.
He realized he did not have correct change and walked across the hall to offices where several employees were working.
He asked one of them for change for a dollar.
She opened her pocket book, got her change purse and started to pull out the change.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
The workers and Oswald all walked to the window to see what the noise was.
Ironclad alibi, my FRiend.
Footnote:
The FBI gave that testimony of several witnesses to the Warren Commission. They declared it a national security secret and did not include it in their report or analysis.
The Finns retained their independence (unlike the Baltic nations and East Europe) by agreeing to the territory seized by the USSR, be strictly neutral, and let USSR have a navy base in their territory. They had to play nice with USSR.
“Lee Oswald did it.”
Thank you. I think people just can’t believe it is just that simple. One man, with a rifle, in a tall building.
Occam’s Razor doesn’t allow for government shenanigans. Oswald was very likely an agent for the CIA and/or FBI. “Defectors” almost never get their passports and citizenship restored AND get their Soviet bride to come home rapidly.
Or write detailed and funny reports about their activities in the USSR (Appendix 16 Warren Report).
First I’ve heard This...
But added to what I’ve educated myself on
Perfectly Fits to be buried.
And did it with a $20 mail order Italian made WWI rifle and scope. What a load of crap.
Roscoe White was a photographic expert with the Dallas PD who doctored the photos of Lee Oswald.
It was Roscoe White who shot JFK and murdered many witnesses to the assassination.

A five day stay in Finland in ‘59 on his way to the USSR? He was waiting for the Soviet Visa.
The only connection to the assassination is that Oswald’s travel and stay in the USSR undoubtedly generated an extensive dossier in US intelligence.
So when they were looking for a useful idiot, he was an obvious choice. And his record of disloyalty removed any qualms about making him a patsy.
