The Simplest Conspiracy Theory

[John Iacoletti]

Perhaps an even more interesting conundrum exists for CTers: Why didn't the evil conspirators who planted the rifle in the TSBD leave it in plain view in the sniper's nest? Why did they leave a problematical dented shell? Once again, diabolical geniuses at steps 1-3-5-7-9, bungling idiots (fortunately for CTers!) at steps 2-4-6-8-10.

Trying to have it both ways, take 9999999.

If the evidence were solid, Oswald did it.

If the evidence is weak, contradictory, and problematical, Oswald did it.

If the evidence is weak, contradictory, and problematical, Oswald did it. (sarcasm)

The evidence against the former sharpshooting Marine and self-described Marxist, Lee Harvey Oswald, may seem contradictory and problematical at times, Iacoletti, but how is it weak?

In lieu of a more rational "theory," i.e., one that doesn't require the witting participation of lots of evil, evil bad guys and really, really bad gals, yeah, Oswald did it.

What rational theory have you come up with so far, Iacoletti?

[John Iacoletti]

If I was a conspirator I would have half a dozen people "positively identify" Oswald in the Sniper's nest, then it's game over and we wouldn't be here!

Silly argument, and yet another lame attempt to have it both ways.

If half a dozen people positively identified Oswald in the Sniper's nest, would you then believe in a conspiracy?

The evidence against the former sharpshooting Marine and self-described Marxist, Lee Harvey Oswald, may seem contradictory and problematical at times, Iacoletti, but how is it weak?

Because there is no direct evidence.  It's mostly speculation with a few unsubstantiated claims about the evidence.

Iacoletti,

Given the layout of the TSBD, the fact that the motorcade route incorporated a near-hairpin-turn virtually in front of it, and the fact that the Secret Service follow-up car had just completed its turn onto Elm Street when the first (missing-everything) shot rang out (half-a-second before Zapruder resumed filming at Z-133), etc, what kind of direct evidence would you expect to find if, indeed, the assassin had fired all three shots at JFK from the sixth-floor Sniper's Nest?

Adam's and Styles' encountering him or her on the way down the stairs?

Truly's and Baker's encountering him or her on their way up the stairs?

Anything else?

As usual you miss the point, the fact that your conspirators couldn't organise a p*ss up in a brewery is virtually conclusive evidence that Oswald all by himself decided to take his rifle to work and assassinate the President.

I don't have any "conspirators".  But nice strawman.

"Virtually conclusive".  LOL.
