Ronald Reagan
XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Radio Address to the Nation on the 26th Anniversary of the Berlin Wall
August 8, 1987
My fellow Americans:
This week the world will mark a dark anniversary. Twenty-six years ago on Thursday, at one minute after midnight, thousands of East German troops marched out of their barracks and, in the dead of night and backed by Soviet forces, built the Berlin Wall. Today's Berlin Wall is very different from the crude strip of barbed wire that the people of Berlin woke up to the following morning 26 years ago. Changes have included the addition of guard towers, tank stops, razor-sharp metal fences, floodlights, ditches, and dog runs. The wall itself is now 12 feet high, concrete, and painted white so that anyone climbing it will make an easy target.
Yet over the years, one thing hasn't changed. It is this: Although the wall surrounds West Berlin, it is not West Berliners who are its prisoners. As one West German newspaper put it the morning after the wall went up: "Yesterday, East Berlin was officially transformed into one immense concentration camp." But it takes more than walls and guns to imprison the human spirit. In the last 26 years, almost 5,000 people have broken through this barrier and fled to freedom. Some tunneled under the wall. Some rigged ropes and pulleys to glide over it. Some ran trucks through checkpoints. Some simply ran on foot across what officials in the Soviet bloc call a "modern border" and the people of Berlin call the "death strip." At least 74 men and women have died in that race for freedom.
In June, on my way home from the economic summit in Venice, I visited Berlin and saw the wall once again. And I saw, as I have before, that people have put up small crosses on the free side of the wall—memorials to those who were killed trying to get over. On one side, the "death strip;" on the other, memorials to those who fell crossing it. No place on Earth can you see more clearly the contrast between the prison that is communism and the spirit of liberty that lives in all of humanity.
In recent months, we've heard a great deal from the Soviet world about something called glasnost. Glasnost is a Russian word that, we're told, means openness. But does it mean genuine openness to speak, to write, to travel, even to buy and sell? Or is it more of a publicity show? As I said in Berlin in June, the way for the Soviets to demonstrate their dedication to true openness is to tear down the wall. That's not all they could do. At the end of World War II, the Soviets promised free elections in Eastern Europe. Openness should mean fulfilling that promise. Openness should also mean freeing political prisoners, refuseniks, and other prisoners of conscience. It should mean an end to Soviet imperialism, whether it's in Eastern Europe, Afghanistan, Angola, Cuba, or Nicaragua. It should, in short, mean openness in all the nations subject to Soviet domination.

Sahara
The Sahara ( "The Great Desert") is the world's largest hot desert and the world's second largest desert after Antarctica. At over 9,000,000 square kilometres (3,500,000 sq mi), it covers most parts of northern Africa; an area stretching from the Red Sea, including parts of the Mediterranean coasts, to the outskirts of the Atlantic Ocean. It is almost as large as the continental United States, and is larger than Australia.
The Sahara has one of the harshest climates in the world.

FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover sent a memorandum to the U.S. State Department referring to Lee Harvey Oswald, at that time an American defector to the Soviet Union. "Since there is a possibility that an imposter is using Oswald's birth certificate," Hoover wrote, "any current information the Department of State may have concerning this subject will be appreciated."
Argentina demanded that Israel return Adolf Eichmann, and then asked for reparations for Eichmann's seizure by Mossad agents in Buenos Aires. On August 2, the dispute was resolved by Israel keeping Eichmann, but acknowledging that Argentina's fundamental rights had been infringed upon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_decoy
Political decoy
A political decoy is a person employed to impersonate a politician, in order to draw attention away from the real person or to take risks on their behalf. This can also apply to military figures, or civilians impersonated for political/espionage purposes.
The political decoy is an individual who has been selected because of their strong physical resemblance to the person they are impersonating. This resemblance can be strengthened by plastic surgery. Often, such decoys are trained to speak and behave like their 'target'.
Lee Harvey Oswald / unknown (1950s–1963)
Impersonation of Oswald has featured in various John F. Kennedy conspiracy theories for decades, based on Oswald's apparent use of aliases and conflicting eyewitness accounts of Oswald's behaviour. The first such claim was made in Professor Richard Popkins' The Second Oswald, published in 1964.
Some conspiracy theorists cite an alleged Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) memo dated June 3, 1960, from J. Edgar Hoover, stating that "there is a possibility that an imposter is using Oswald's birth certificate."
In 2004, conspiracy theorist John Armstrong published a book entitled Harvey and Lee, which claimed to have identified a Lee Harvey Oswald double who had impersonated Oswald as part of an intelligence operation. Armstrong bases his claims on photographs which appear to show discrepancies in Oswald's physique and facial features. Armstrong cites contradictory eyewitness testimony from the Warren Report, placing Oswald in two different locations at the same time.
Armstrong has given lectures on his theory for years; however his Harvey and Lee theory lacks acceptance even among other conspiracy theorists.

Though Hoover denied any prior knowledge of Oswald or Ruby to the commission, the bureau had relationships with both men. In fact, "it later emerged that the FBI had no fewer than nine contacts with Jack Ruby, long before the assassination. He was even listed in the FBI files as a P.C.I. - Potential Criminal Informant." Ruby grew up in Chicago where he began working as a teenager for organized crime. He later traveled to Cuba on behalf of mob interests. Ruby knew major crime figures throughout the country, prominent Dallas businessmen, and many Dallas police officers.
On June 3, 1960, when Lee Oswald was living in the Soviet Union, Hoover advised the State Department, "There is a possibility that an impostor is using Oswald's birth certificate." When Oswald returned from Russia in 1962, the FBI monitored his activities. Despite Oswald's ostensible pro-Castro activities in New Orleans in 1963, he shared an office with a rabidly ant-Castro former FBI agent, Guy Bannister, a friend of Hoover's, who assured his secretary that Oswald "is with us." Bannister's right-wing associate, David Ferrie, also worked for New Orleans crime boss Carlos Marcello. Ferrie's library card was found in Oswald's pocket when he was arrested, but the FBI investigation of Ferrie was perfunctory and swiftly concluded.
Hoover helped Johnson obscure the facts of the Kennedy assassination in order to rescue both of their careers. It was not the first time - or the last - that Hoover used his power to protect Lyndon Johnson. Hoover intended to remain FBI director beyond his mandatory retirement age of seventy in 1965. Only the president could waive that requirement. Hoover had enough blackmail material on Johnson's extramarital affairs and corrupt financial dealings to control him.

Result 1 of 1 in this book for "Lee Harvey Oswald" "June 3, 1960"
In early June, Mr. B, who rarely came out of his office, walked over to my desk and handed me a folder.
"Patrick, this FBI memo just came to our attention. We thought you should see it as soon as possible."
Before I could say anything, he turned and walked back toward his office.
The folder was non-descript - it had no markings of any kind on it. Inside was a single typed page - a memorandum from the Director of the FBI dated June 3, 1960 regarding Lee Harvey Oswald. The memo was only a few lines, but it contained an ominous warning.
Open-mouthed, I read the following: "Since there is a possibility that an impostor is using (Lee Harvey) Oswald's birth certificate, any current information the Department of State may have concerning subject will be appreciated. (signed) J. Edgar Hoover."
Someone was using the identity, Lee Harvey Oswald, in the United States? What in the hell was going on? I reread the memo - it was clear - someone in the country was using the name Lee Harvey Oswald. I could feel the sweat rolling down my back as I tried to make sense of the Hoover memo.
A.J. Hidell was safely ensconced behind the Iron Curtain. I had switched the identities myself. This didn't make any sense. Had the Russians discovered our ruse? Were they screwing with us? Had Ozzie decided to unilaterally resurrect his prior life and forsake the new identity we had constructed for him?
I call in a few favors and found out an FBI agent by the name of John W. Fain had interviewed Lee's mother, Marguerite Oswald, in April. She had confided her suspicion that someone else was posing as her son. Since Lee Oswald had defected to the USSR from a high security position involved with the U-2 program, her suspicions were duly noted and passed on up the chain to where Hoover ultimately learned of the issue. I couldn't ascertain if Hoover suspected something more complex, or if he was simply passing on a worried mother's concerns about her missing traitor of a son.
Rather than risk exposing the truth behind Operation Cocoon, I decided to let the matter drop and hoped it didn't turn into something bigger down the road.
