Plain Luck or Circumstance Played a Role in the JFKA
For years, left-wing ideologue CT'ers have concocted elaborate explanations ("the Deep State in action") of how LHO ended up in the TSBD on 11.22. None really hold water. Likely it was just circumstance.
But there is blame all around. The US right-wing largely went down the LN theory-rabbit-hole with the release of the WC report in 1964. In the right-wing of that era, there was a near-reflexive reverence for authority, and the WC represented authority.
In addition, the WC in 1964 struck exactly the tone the right-wing wanted to hear: a soured Marxist leftie-loser lone-nut perped the horrid JFKA, but not on instructions from Havana of Moscow. No nuke war with Russia needed (see LBJ's instructions to the Earl Warren and Richard Russell).
The modern-day right-wing is a different animal, and sometimes reflexively rejects authority, and so you get a different knee-jerk reaction to official JFKA theorizing, with just as much justification as the 1960's right-wingers.
The agenda writes the narrative. Mossad is the new JFKA villain in many crackpot quarters, left-wing and right-wing.
But...keep in mind you have former CIA Director James Woolsey's book, Operation Dragon: Inside the Kremlin's Secret War on America, presenting the view that LHO was a Russian operative. Woolsey was a CIA director, and a right-winger.
Woolsey is a deeply knowledgable fellow when it comes to spy work. Participants in online forums are admitted hobbyists next to Woolsey.
So I defer to Woolsey...or online hobbyists?
As for LHO being in the TSBD, almost surely that was luck or circumstance, as was the decision to have the JFK limo make a hairpin turn in front of the TSBD.
CT'ers make the obviously baseless assumption that a JFKA CT required the knowing placement of LHO in the TSBD in preparation for the motorcade.
Rather, LHO was there by chance, and G2'ers or KGB'ers took advantage of that situation.
IMHO, there was no elaborate JFKAC. Just some guys with guns.
There was no dragnet or roadblocks after the JFKA. The bad guys got away, except for LHO, who didn't even have a bicycle to his name.
Keep in mind, at anytime in the 1960s, the KGB and G2 had hundreds, maybe even thousands, of assets, plants, double-agents, agents, and informants in the US. It is legend how thoroughly Castro had infiltrated the Cuban exile community.
Moreover, some serious JFKA researchers posit the KGB had thoroughly penetrated the CIA. If true, that means all those CIA eyes and ears were also de facto KGB eyes and ears. LHO popped up on the radar when JFK's plan for a Dallas visit became generally known.
LHO appears to have been one of those G2-KGB assets, and by chance he had a job in the TSBD. So he was utilized.

Why did it have to be guys. Why couldn't it have just been on guy who got lucky. Why did he need G2-KGB help?
