Ultra-Liberal CTers Are Outraged Over New Book on JFK and Vietnam

[John Corbett]

Well, it would be helpful to have evidence of this help. Saying Oswald may have met with Cuban agents or pro-Castro people months before the assassination, in New Orleans or Mexico City, is not connecting them to his act. Encouraging him to shoot JFK because of the covert war on Cuba, Mongoose et cetera, not, to me, a conspiracy.

One thing no one has ever even tried to explain is why the Cubans, the Soviets, or anybody else would have had discussions with Oswald about assassinating JFK while Oswald was in Mexico City or New Orleans. Why would they have picked this little nobody with average marksmanship skills to carry out the assassination. Neither they nor Oswald could have known at the time that fate would put JFK within easy rifle range of Oswald in a slow moving open top car. The JFKA was a crime of opportunity and Oswald didn't even know about the opportunity until early that same week. It is preposterous to think anyone would have had serious discussions with Oswald about taking out JFK.

well he almost killed Walker.  Ozzie had serious discussions inside his head though, that’s about it.

SMG--

The JFKA CT is nor proven, but neither is the LNT.

Remember, the first official investigation (WC) said LHO acted alone (and let's admit, under heavy pressure from LBJ), but the second official investigation (HSCA) concluded there was likely was a conspiracy.

And the HSCA had a lot of smart and skeptical guys on it, and they did not buy most CT's (the BYP were fake, LHP never owned the rifle, etc.), and the HSCA left LHO in place as a shooter.

In general, I think the second official investigation got it right. There was a JFKAC.

Others disagree. That is what a forum is for.
