Here is one example of a Washington Post article in 2017 arguing that Oswald did not work for the CIA:
“MR. HELMS: Mr. Belin, this question, and I think you may recall this, was raised at the time and the Agency was never able to find any evidence whatsoever, and we really searched that it had any contact with Lee Harvey Oswald. As far as the FBI was concerned, my recollection is not all that precise. I believe that Mr. Hoover testified that he had not been an agent of theirs either. He was certainly not an agent of the CIA. He was certainly never used by the CIA.”
Former CIA Director Helms told the Warren Commission that Oswald did not work for the CIA.
Helms lied—and the Washington Post believed the Helms lie.
Ok, let’s make this easy.
1. I concede every point you make about Oswald and the CIA.
2. This has nothing to do with a garden variety politically driven narcissist with delusions of grandeur to INDEPENDENTLY decide that fate has given him his great opportunity to change the entire world by murdering the leader of the free world who will just be happening to pass by his work window one day...AND, with the same rifle he used 6 months earlier to almost kill a federal judge in the city of Dallas.
THAT is the most obvious, simplest explanation. ALL the evidence ends up pointing directly at Oswald, in that 6th floor window, with that rifle, on that day, 11/22/63.
I will accept that #1 and #2 are both true. Fine. BUT... #2 is a million times truer, and more relevant, than #1.
Oswald came up with the whole assassination on his own, just like he came up with trying to assassinate that federal judge, on his own.
You are chasing your tale, and that never ends.
The Post was always a CIA front. Woodward was obviously CIA.
