"The Presidents route for his drive through Dallas was widely known and was printed in the Dallas Morning News on November 22. At the last minute the Secret Service changed a small part of their plans so that the President left Main Street and turned into Houston and Elm Streets. This alteration took the President past the book depository building from which it is alleged that Oswald shot him. How Oswald is supposed to have known of this change has never been explained. Why was the Presidents route changed at the last minute to take him past Oswalds place of work?" This one statement needs to be examined very closely. At the very least, there needs to be proof to back it up. I do not doubt the veracity of the claim, but if true, the entire conspiracy theory hinges on it and is proven by it.
- Was the route published in the paper? This alone is a gross error in security preparations.
- Did the Secret Service make a change at the LAST MINUTE? Or perhaps it was a lot earlier than the last minute. Maybe the newspaper got it wrong. It could make a big difference.
- How was Oswald to know of this change? If in fact it was a last minute change, that alone proves a conspiracy.
I would love to see evidence of some sort to back up these claims.

It's my understanding that the route was published in the paper that day, which did infuriate the Secret Service, and was a cause for minor route adjustments.

The very route they took was published in both newspapers. One paper had a detailed map, one had a more schematic map, but the route never changed.

If they did, they must have also notified the several hundred people who were lining the sidewalks of Dealy plaza waiting for the motorcade.
Consider the source here. Bertrand Russell = KGB.
