The American anti-Vietnam War movement was organized and orchestrated by the soviets and their fingerprints are all over the same today.
I'm willing to accept that he was a Soviet agent. I just have a tough time buying the idea that the Soviets would knock Kennedy off. Killing a head of state is just not a good idea unless you control the succession plan. There are just too many variables to account for.
On the contrary, one must perform an awful mental-gymnastics routine to believe Oswald was a Soviet tool, notwithstanding the hundreds of fantastic books—based on little to no evidence—to the contrary. Here are just a few common-sense questions to ask those irresponsible enough to besmirch the good name of the international communist conspiracy:
1) If Oswald was picked in ‘57, why didn’t he kill Eisenhower instead of Kennedy? Ike was every inch the cold warrior as Johnny. Did the Soviets routinely groom assassins for years, just in case?
2) If Oswald lived on Soviet money in Japan, where did his salary go when he lived in Dallas? Do programmed assassins need an incentive in the beginning, then change their minds and forgo pay in the interest of the cause?
3) As already mentioned, why kill Kennedy when you have no idea whether Johnson would be better or worse? Although it is not possible to determine conclusively whether Kennedy would sent combat troops into Vietnam, it is a fact that Johnson did. On one hand there is Kennedy, who did not engage in armed conflict with Cuba or Russia during the Bay of Pigs, the Berlin Crisis, or the Cuban Missle Crisis. On the other hand there is Johnson, who showered more ordinance on a burgeoning communist ally than fell on Nazi Germany. Krushchev made some horrible miscalculation.
4) Did the Soviets program Oswald to attempt to murder a retired major shortly before the big assassination (as Oswald’s wife assured investigators Oswald admitted to)?
5) Why doesn’t this author know that Oswald was dislexic? I have read excerpts from the diary, and it does not read like a British imposter, unless British people cannot spell (and are retarded).
6) How did Oswald’s superiors know to order him to apply for work at the Texas School Book Depository long before it was announced that Kennedy’s limo would pass anywhere near Elm Street?
7) Why did the Soviets chose someone so unreliable and, frankly, unbalanced as Oswald to pull off the crime of the century? Or was his unreliability a ruse? Was his suicide attempt prior to leaving Mother Russia a fraud? Were his psychological problems as a child a retroactive put-on?
8) Would they send their king-killer to work with a cheap, mail-order rifle?
9) Would a professional assassin leave his getaway pistol back home? Unless, of course, he was double-crossed, and his planned escape was scrapped by his superiors. But if his handlers misled Oswald, why didn’t they kill him instead of allowing him to fall swiftly into the palms of the Dallas police department.
