Why would the CIA wish to assassinate General Walker?

[Frank Beard]

If Oswald worked for the CIA and they directed him regarding the assassination and his previous activity in New Orleans, then all the other bits of the jigsaw must also fit.
According to Marina, Oswald attempted to assassinate General Walker in April 1963.

That wouldn’t seem to fit with CIA objectives.

It seems to support the theory that he was acting alone.

If the glove don’t fit….you must acquit!

Sorry, how does this support the theory he acted alone? He could have tried to shoot Walker and then in the assassination acted with help from mob elements or rogue CIA people or anti-Castro or pro-Castro people. Or was manipulated into acting by someone.

It's possible he was a CIA agent who, for personal reasons and not under the CIA's control or direction, tried to shoot Walker. Shooting Walker doesn't indicate he wasn't working for the CIA or other agency.

[Frank Beard]

He’s either a long term agent for the CIA or he isn’t.
I can’t quite imagine the CIA borrowing him for a one-off job to assassinate the President.

Oi Lee would you mind taking a few pot shots at JFK if you’re not too busy. Use your own gun.

There is no evidence that Oswald was a CIA operative. Deliberately missing Walker was an act of deliberate deflection (pardon the pun). The conspirators were testing Oswalds resolve, and once he had actually done the deed, they had him 'captured' and he would have to comply with their commands or be incriminated. Their commands did not include shooting JFK!

You're full of high-fructose beans.

[Dr Alan Howard Davis]

They didn't - neither did they plan to kill JFK. To reiterate, Oswald deliberately missed Walker -the evidence is clear and unambiguous that the shot was deflected CLOSER to Walker by the window frame.

PS what does "You're full of high-fructose beans" mean?
