LN and CT Rigidities

[Joe Elliott]

After decades of mostly fruitless research, even primary research into the JFKA, and participation in forums, I have come to some conclusions...not about the JFKA, but the JFKA research "community."

The vast majority of CT'ers rigidly insist LHO was entirely and completely innocent of the JFKA. They even hold to LHO's total innocence if they posit the JFKA was a CIA plot, and LHO was a long-time CIA asset or agent living in house at time run by the CIA asset Ruth Paine.

Why not assume, if the CIA waxed JFK, then LHO was a part of the plot, even if later LHO was made into a patsy and then murdered?

No!

It is chiseled into granite: LHO was only packing book-boxes on 11.22, in fact was on the street or somewhere at the time of the JFKA, and after the JFKA he went home and got a gun...oh, well never mind.

On the other side of the coin we have the LN'ers: LHO could only have acted alone. Absolutely. No other explanation is even possible!

This despite statements even by WC members that they were not satisfied with the WC results.

The third way (and my way!)---that LHO was part of a small JFKA plot, not connected to other powerful entities (except possibly tangentially) is not tolerated by either LN'ers or CT'ers.

So it goes.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

The reason the CTers clinging to, for the most part, the Oswald is totally innocent scenario, is it is a more compelling story. One of conspirators was caught and eliminated is not as compelling a story on a totally innocent man was blamed and we need to restore justice as best we can.

I accept that Oswald probably acted alone because the news that JFK was coming through Dealey Plaza did not come out until Tuesday requiring Oswald to ask (and hopefully get) a special Thursday night ride from a coworker, where he could pick up his rifle. If he knew about it in advance, he could have had his rifle hidden in that large building a few days in advanced, and not risk having to make a trip the night before, which might not happen if his ride happens to call in sick that day.

Three days is not a lot of time to form a conspiracy. And there is no need for one. He just needs a car ride which he can do by lying about what was in the long paper bag.

And, in addition to seemingly being unnecessary, I see know compelling evidence that anyone else was involved.

   This is what separates me from the rank-n-file CT Community. I think Oswald was involved with the lower level groundwork. He setup the sniper's nest and made sure the Huge Gates were "wide open" to permit clandestine entry/exit to - and - from the TSBD. This was a Conspiracy. It also involved that Phony Motorcycle Cop handling "crowd control", along with a 2 Wheel Men that moved the "getaway" car into position as shots were actually being fired. And it was Not limited to just these guys. This was a well planned Conspiracy. Before, During, and After the kill shot.

That's it in a nutshell. No need for accomplices and no evidence of accomplices. It was a one man job.

All four presidential assassinations were one man jobs. The Lincoln assassination was a conspiracy but each conspirator was assigned a different target and tasked with taking out that target by himself. Booth saved the big prize for himself..
