Sorry, there is nothing new that has come out, and there is no proof that Oswald was a part of an over-arching conspiracy.
I want to point out again that I originally was a JFK conspiracy buff. I probably read at least two dozen books on the subject. I was in third grade the day JFK.
Was Oswald a Communist? Yes. Did he try to offer his services to the Commies in Russia and Cuba? Yes, but he was a such a loser they didn’t want him for anything. Was his wife Russian? Yes. Did he speak Russian? Yes. Was the CIA watching/tracking him? Sort of, but not really, and THAT is their big embarrassment and attempted cover-up.
Again, if you want a coherent, scientific, well-researched body of evidence put together by professional historians and forensic scientists, you should read Case Closed and Reclaiming History. These books have huge bibiliographies which cite ORIGINAL SOURCES and evidence. There is no question that Oswald and Ruby acted alone. If you choose not to read these books and research the bibiliographies, then you really aren’t trying to get to the truth, you’re just looking for any snippet which will feed into the conclusions you drew a long time ago.
There are several reasons why the public at large won’t let go of the JFK conspiracy claims:
(1) Most people are one hundred percent ignorant, they only buy into what someone said that someone said that someone said. They’ve never researched anything, they don’t know anything.
(2) The JFK assassination conspiracy industry is a billion dollar plus industry. THOUSANDS of books/pamphlets have been written on the subject. Those enriching themselves promoting false conspiracy theories are not going to stop, they’re making lots of money.
(3) Conspiracy-chasing is fun. Conspiracies are mysteries combined with thrillers, those who like to chase conspiracies have a very interesting hobby.
(4) Finally, it is emotionally very difficult for most people to accept that a total LOSER acting alone could change the course of history by assassinating a U.S. president—and in the case of JFK, a beloved young handsome president. When a huge senseless tragedy occurs, it’s human nature not to want to accept that someone so stupid and small could by himself take down someone considered to be so great and historically significant.
People want a great moral counterweight to offset a huge senseless tragedy, that’s what they always reach out for, that’s what they cling to. But in the case of JFK, there is no great moral counterweight. There’s just a loser and a nobody who managed to “accomplish” one significant thing in his entire miserable loser life—killing JFK.
I have reviewed ORIGINAL SOURCES and evidence. Someone’s book for profit on the topic is hardly to be considered an original source. Many prefer to look at the released files found through the search engines and wade through a variety of expert opinions and viewpoints. Weighing in on the FACTS is examining the original data.
Some of these researchers have been diligently collecting, reviewing and debating information for decades and their opinions carry weight. They openly share their findings, many without writing another new JFK book for profit. It’s interesting to weed through and connect the dots.
At this day of a new release, how would you personally know without a doubt that there is nothing to see? Have you just digested thousands of pages of documents and related audio recordings? Certainly, no one has had the time to understand the depth of the new material.
Realize that if you are an expert JFK theory analyst, your dissuasion will still fail to convince the other 60-70% of Americans to ignore evidence that is fresh to us.
As a footnote, you will find few Kennedy worshipers here. Many don’t consider his death to be some ‘great senseless tragedy’ or bought into the Camelot tale. (Sorry that Caroline & Jr. lost their daddy.) His death as an answer to someone(s) personal, political, financial, national, or international problem made perfect sense to a long list of Kennedy foes.
In regard to your points about the fascination by the Kennedy cult of conspirators:
1). Most have done little research, but they recognize when something fails to pass the ‘smell test.’
2) People profit, it’s the American way. ‘Case Closed’ did not close the case in the view of the majority.
3). Conspiracies are entertaining, especially when contradictory evidence continues to Pop-Up!
4). It only becomes unbelievable when the data and facts imply otherwise and fail to uphold the story.
5). You forgot the big one. Whenever an assassin is assassinated it fuels conspiracy. And this is most especially true when the suspected assassin is executed in the custody of LEO.
Conspiracy theories are non-falsifiable. In my experience (as one who was very much into them when younger), the vast majority of their proponents will never drop them. They are emotionally wedded to them.
