Head of KGB Reported in '63 That Oswald visited Soviet Embassy in Mexico

[Richard Smith]

Right, the conspiracists - these right wing Cold War fanatics who would do anything for their cause - framed a Marxist (real of fake) in order to justify an invasion of Cuba or a war with Moscow or something. Okay so far (I guess). But then after going through all of this they cleared Castro/Moscow of any involvement? They didn't do *anything* with this act? It was Oswald alone. Okay so they needed to kill JFK for their war in Vietnam? But you don't need to frame Moscow/Havana for that purpose. So they lose me here. Why go through all of this to then clear the people you want to set up? This is completely at odds with itself. But remember in JFK conspiracy world it doesn't have to make sense; it just has to support the conspiracy view.

So is this the way it went?
Plotter A: "We're going to assassinate JFK. Are you joining up with us?"
Potential Accomplice: "Maybe. But how do you plan to keep it secret from everyone? It's going to be investigated forever."
Plotter A: "We control Congress and the next Congress and the media and the next media. Nobody will talk; everyone will go along. Including future generations. Don't sweat it."
Potential Accomplice: "Okay, sure. I'm all in."

Then there was the part where they suggested "we put Oswald a bus that takes him nowhere after the assassination.  And convince every random person on the bus to keep quiet about him not being on the bus even though his presence makes no possible difference."
