For the younger people here, Oswald was the man who assassinated President John F Kennedy in Dallas in November of 1963. Oswald was arrested a few hours later, and was himself murdered the next day by Jack Ruby in the Dallas police garage.

The question isn't about whether he was a lone gunman or not, but whether he was but the trigger man in a broader conspiracy plot.

Why is this question still important 50+ years later? Well, considering the role of the FBI in creating the Russia-collusion hoax, their effort to shield the president's son, Hunter Biden, from investigation, and the way politicians try to weaponize the FBI, IRS, CIA and other agencies to serve the political interests of those in power rather than the people, I think it's a good time for the people to demand better honesty from their government.

I believe our government has already admitted that it lied to the Warren Commission on some points. Supposedly to avoid admitting that the Kennedy Administration had considered plans to assassinate Fidel Castro, and had possibly made attempts. But that doesn't address whether Oswald acted alone or not. He could have been part of a Mafia plan, or a Cuban plan, or a plan within our CIA or FBI. There were/are numerous investigations and researches to give credibility to all of the above.

So what do you believe?

All the evidence points right at Oswald. The gun that he disguises as curtain rods, at least two witnesses saw him point the gun out of the window, the motorcade route was published in advance, and Oswald high-tailed it out of there right after the assassination. Ask yourself: Did Oswald have the will, the skill and the opportunity to kill JFK? The answer to all 3 questions is an emphatic yes.

@graphite Yes, and he also had connections to Cuba, the mob, and the CIA. And a lot of shady characters.

@Heartlander So many sophisticated connections, that he was working at a warehouse filling school book orders, the latest in a long line of nothing jobs for him. Oswald threw himself at the Cubans in Mexico City, and they rightfully didn't want anything to do with him. Mob and CIA connections? With connections like that, you'd think Oswald would have been living in a spacious house instead of being a charity case. Didn't have the money to buy his daughter shoes, apparently. His family was being propped up by Ruth Payne, who knew Oswald was a zero.

@graphite Yes, Oswald was a needy man with specialty skill set.
