Lee Harvey Oswald met with a KGB agent just two months before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, according to newly unsealed confidential documents stemming from JFK’s murder.

The CIA memos, part of a trove of nearly 1,500 documents released Wednesday by the National Archives and Records Administration, also disclose that an anonymous tipster warned US embassy officials in Australia a year earlier that Kennedy would be assassinated by the Soviet Union for a $100,000 bounty.

But the tip was never passed on to the CIA.

“Cabled to Canberra asking full details of the telephone conversation of 23 November and the call made 15 October 1962, a 1964 memo said. “It should be noted that CIA had not previously known of the 1962 telephone call.”

The records include newly revealed details of Kennedy’s death — but fall short of resolving decades-old speculation about the case.

Among the revelations in the files was a meeting and follow-up phone call bewteen Oswald and a Soviet operative before JFK was shot in Dallas.

“According to an intercepted phone call in Mexico City, Lee Oswald was in the Soviet Embassy there on 23 September and spoke with Consul Valeriy Vladimirovich,” the document said.

“Oswald called the Soviet Embassy in 1 October, identifying himself by name and speaking broken Russian, stating the above and asking the guard who answered the phone whether there was ‘anything concerning the telegram to Washington,’” read the memo from then-acting CIA Chief Tennent Bagley.

The documents include a transcript of the Oct. 1 call.

“Hello, this [is] Lee Oswald speaking,” he said. “I was at your place last Saturday and spoke to a consul, and they said that they’d send a telegram to Washington, so I wanted to find out if you anything new. But I don’t remember the

“The Commies killed him then they took over the Democratic party”

Our domestic Deep State colluded with the commies to kill him and solidify their world wide power.

Why is this just coming out now?

The mob seems much more plausible.

This is not new information. It was already publicly known that Oswald visited the Russian embassy in Mexico City.

Am I supposed to believe the FBI? All they have shown me in the last 70 years is that they are corrupt.

interesting how this has occurred right when the neo-Con artists and the Biden administration are hyping the possibility of war with Russia over Ukraine. I suspect it is also a way of hyping the whole “Russia Collusion” hoax yet again.

Personally, I don’t trust anything coming out of the FBI, CIA or released by the Biden administration and spread by the media.

Pharma records on the so-called vaccines would have more value.

Oswald was a communist and a Soviet sympathizer. I have no doubt he shot Kennedy. I also have no doubt he did it for the Soviets. The only question is whether he did it with the actual encouragement of the Soviets or because he thought it would impress them.

He wanted to meet the Soviets and ultimately that meant meeting the KGB officer. It's not at all established that they wanted him or ordered him to kill Kennedy.

The Mafia doesn't have archives or keep accurate records, so there's a lot of folklore in the organization. Being able to assassinate a president would be a plus for any Mafia don, not a minus, so there was likely a lot of boasting about doing things that the mob didn't actually do.

After four years of the swamp telling us Trump colluded with Russia, I’m not inclined to believe them when they say Oswald colluded with Russia.
