So true.
I agree.
Oswald was a Communist who renounced his American citizenship, relocated to Russia, and returned to assassinate Kennedy. The KGB immediately launched their massive disinformation campaigns to place the blame elsewhere.
It was Mr. Plum in the Kitchen with the Candlestick.

Amazing isn't it.
I think it was male models. They have been responsible for all the assassinations for the last two centuries.
Getting serious, I personally think it was probably just Lee Harvey Oswald but goodness what a remarkable series of events followed the arrest of Oswald.
So the whole Jack Ruby thing doesn’t raise a red flag at all?
Amazing that many of the same people that look to conspiracy theories regarding JFK, take a face value without questioning that John Hinckley acted alone in shooting Reagan, because he wanted to impress Jodie Foster.
Lincoln did it.
All kinds of red flags but in the end I think it was just Oswald.
You are right tho. I could believe almost anything and not be really surprised.
No Lincoln was not old enough. It would have had to have been one of his descendants. Maybe George Lincoln Rockwell?
I’m not sure if Lee Oswald did it by himself, but he was involved somehow. As for the CIA, FBI, LBJ, Mob, KGB, or Marilyn, by the 25th of November there were quite a few folks who were happy with the results, whether they were directly involved or not.
When things happen that are world changing, we as humans feel much more comfortable in believing that there was some powerful group behind that change, whether the change was good or not good. We like to believe in some grand plan.
we humans are not comfortable believing that a single, unknown individual can have that much of an effect on our world. So we invent conspiracy theories because that makes us more comfortable.
There are a couple of things which bother me about Oswald. According to Marine sources he was a mediocre shot. I have been there and it was probably not that hard a shot but even so a nervous shooter using a gun which was sighted in to miss by a foot and a moving target. would have been an almost impossible shot.
Now I was champion of my gun clubs all comers meet and am fairly sure I could have made the shot with a scoped and sighted in Remington 788 in .243. That gun was short inexpensive and known to be very accurate. Even easier would have been a scope mounted AR-15 or even an SKS with a scope properly sighted in.
But Oswald had a junker with a mis-sighted scope. Now although I admit the Carcano was the worst military rifle of WWII, it still would do the job as far as power and accuracy. The only trouble was that scope being off.
You forgot Dr. Who, the Joker, school kids in Dallas, Darth Vader, et al.
Yes, and sometimes there really are conspiracies. Both exist, no?
Lincoln had a time machine and was not dead at the time of JFK’s assassination. He really meant to take out LBJ too. But John Wilkes Booth had a time machine too and shot Lincoln right after he took out JFK. Oswald was there to shoot Oliver Stone but Booth materialized in the line of fire and died on the spot but due to the laws of time travel both Lincoln and Booth dematerialized. So Oswald was blamed. This is why Oswald claimed to be a Patsy, which was a reference to Patsy Cline who died in a tragic plane crash, that was caused by the Big Bopper.
A point of view that traces its self back to 1963 and not before.
Conspiracies became taboo starting in late 1963.
