Nah. No way would the KGB "wetworks" people gamble on one guy with a Mannlicher-Carcarno with a Brand-X telescope, surplus ammo and indifferent boresighting. Too big a chance that Oswald would have missed, been captured, and then spilled his guts (assuming that Jack Ruby wouldn't always have been available to silence him). The KGB was much better at things than this.

Much more likely some part of our own government got JFK and pinned it on Oswald who was more than likely already a government informant. JFK was way, way out of control - we almost went to World War III at least twice, he was chasing every skirt he could find, on drugs, and was going to have Hoover replaced when he was reelected.

If I were to guess, a really good shooter took out JFK, Oswald's rifle was planted and while everybody was still in shock, Oswald's dead. Our government issues the Warren report and all is smoothed over..

Exactly! And, Oswald was not that good of a marksman.

I think it was organized crime.

John and Robert Kennedy as AG, both assassinated, both were coming down on the organized crime figures clamping down on the mob, while their father was part of that life as a bootleggger,,, and the Mob has a particularly nasty tradition of dealing with traitors harshly. And covering their tracks.

The KGB would have done it better than Oswald, I agree. The mob would be even better.

Don’t forget JFK and the issuance of silver certificates, redeemable in silver. Amazing bills. That would have been b’bye Federal Reserve.
