They all had the means; but the government is the only one that has the full ability to coverup.

You speak of The Government as a large monolithic being instead of a organization comprising of hundreds of thousands of different individuals with differnt motives and beiefs.

An conspiracy of which you speak would be of such proportions as it would involve hundreds of people who:
....never got caught.

.... never whispered a word to anyone.

....never wrote a book, which would make millions nor quoted directly by credible sources.

In other words, the prefect crime.

Or a complete fantasy.

Never said it was a conspiracy.

It doesn't have to involve hundreds. If you can manipulate people to do what you want, they can become unwitting parts of the conspiracy.

For example: Oswald, with apparent communist sympathies and ties to Cuba (on the face of it), shoots the President. LBJ sees the communist/Castro connections, fears public opinion demanind war with Cuba and Russia as word gets out. So he enlists Chief Justice Warren and a panel of respected officials to conduct an investigation and write a report pinning the deed on Lee Harvey Oswald.
