My takeaway, after 40 years of close study of every new twist and information release.

1. Lee Harvey Oswald was a fervent, dedicated Communist lunatic that was so nuts even the USSR deported him back to the USA.

2. It was well known by the FBI that he was a dedicated raving Communist lunatic.

3. Oswald traveled by bus all the way to Mexico City just before the assassinations and basically rang the bell on the gates of the Cuban and Russian embassies, trying to get a visa to move to Cuba. It appears he was rejected, his lunacy well known to both countries. Both embassies had CIA watch-stations across the street filming every single person going in and out for espionage links etc. Every person entering is logged and checked out. They knew Oswald, the defector to the USSR who returned to Texas, visited both embassies. This should have been a bright red rocket getting their attention, with “flash” notices to the FBI to keep an eye on Oswald at a minimum.

4. He returned to Dallas and to his conveniently located job at the Dallas Book Depository, which conveniently turned out to have the perfect sniper’s location for the JFK motorcade. He turned down better paying jobs to keep the Dallas Book Depository job.

Conclusion A — The Best Look:
The CIA, FBI and Secret Service are even after 60 years covering up their gross incompetence in not scooping up this high-profile fervent Communist lunatic, who was extremely pissed at JFK over the Bay of Pigs etc. They are to this day afraid to let the American people know what incompetent clowns they were in real life, at the height of the Cold War, right after the Bay of Pigs and Cuban Missile Crisis.

Conclusion B — The Worst Look: They knew or strongly suspected that Oswald wanted to kill JFK. “Somebody” (very likely Oswald) had tried to assassinate retired Major General Edwin Walker, and ardent anti-Communist, with the same 6.5mm rifle in April of 1963.

Oswald was on the radars of the CIA, FBI and Secret Service. They pretended not to notice him, even though there were many connections between the intel agencies and Oswald. The motorcade route passing under the Book Depository was even published in the local newspapers. The CIA/FBI nexus let Oswald take the shots.
