Is John Simkin right?

I think any connections between events on the ground 11/22 in Dallas, and "higher-ups" are entirely speculative.

This is proven by the fact that various intelligent individuals have spun entirely antipodal narratives on the JFKA, from CIA to KGB, to Mafia, to LBJ, to G-2, to Mossad (well, lesser intelligence in the case of Mossad) and even Mormon church elders.

The more years that go by, without any evidence of such higher-up connections being revealed, either by participants, confessions, or documents...makes the speculation all the more iffy.

Sure, various US intel agencies were tracking LHO, as a known defector and active Marxist.

JFKACT's that include dozens upon dozens of witting participants, across many agencies and organizations (DPD, Secret Service, FBI, CIA, various military officials, Mafia, Navy autopsists) are even less compelling.

In contrast, a very small plot, informal, and without documentation or official knowledge, would be difficult to detect, especially as Ruby shot LHO dead. Only LHO could have described what he was involved in.

The Ruby shooting act is suspicious, I grant that. Maybe Ruby was impulsive, or maybe some Alpha-66 guys (who were often involved in drug deals with the Mob) arranged for the hit. The Ruby hit on LHO is strange.

Caveat emptor and draw your own conclusions.

"Igor Vaganov"--now there is a name I have not heard in a while.

The GK smoke-and-bang show? Who knows?

The problem is, LHO's confederates were never apprehended, and LHO dead in 48 hours.

Sub in any names you like. I rule out Billy Barty as he was not tall enough to peer over the wooden stockade fence atop the GK.
