CIA Operatives are not always the brightest bulbs. Oswald did not live and work in a vacuum. He liked the spook world and was meeting certain CIA good ole boys who had a beer or two with him unofficially just to yak it up. So he got to know a few. Doesn’t mean the agency HQ had designs involving him. It just means he was chummy with a few.
There were some CIA that were hostile to Kennedy. Very plausible Oswald tapped into that and got the idea he could make the assassination a reality. No doubt there was an agent who over a beer would say “someone should take the SOB out” and Oswald thought it was serious.
Because of the Zapruder film, and police audio tapes, it is more probable than not that a 2nd shooter was involved. It doesn’t mean there was a 2nd shooter but the evidence weighs to a 2nd shooter. The Warren Commission was an incompetent body. Many unanswered questions.
What do I believe? Not a damn thing. Do I believe there was a conspiracy? No. Do I believe there was not a conspiracy? No.
Those that claim more than two shooters have greater weight. Those that say it was only Oswald are blowing smoke out their *ss.
Neither group that is ‘sure’ gains my respect because they don’t have enough evidence to be ‘sure’. I respect those that consider the evidence and don’t draw a conclusion. It’s Ok to discuss the evidence and where the evidence points to. It is NOT Ok to jump to any conclusion.
In November 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald was a former Marine with a record of poor marksmanship who supposedly used a wore out old Italian Carcano carbine with a sloppily mounted scope to make a head-shot on a moving target at 100 yards. At the time, I too was a former Marine, but with a four year record of expert marksmanship, and I've always doubted if I could have made that shot.
Jesus Christ. Do you really think if there were a plot to kill the President Of The United Sates by members of various government agents in collusion with the Mafia,talk about dim bulbs, there’s going to be a paper trail? And everyone involved in this conspiracy is going to keep there mouth shut, right? And tell me something , if it were the case that there was a conspiracy to kill Kennedy what was the reason and who benefited from it?
