To be sure, there are plenty of farfetched JFKA CT's out there, mostly on the backdrop to the sordid event, and the subsequent cover-up. So, CT'ers often look nutty.

Furthermore, many JFKA CTs have become a platform for people to promote their ideological agendas.

OTOH, the second official investigation into the JFKA, the HSCA-1979, concluded there was a probability of JFKAC, and that likely there had been a gunshot at the GK, as the limo passed.

There were a lot of smart and skeptical guys on the HSCA, and plenty of professional staffers.

I never read anything solid that LHO did much more than look at radar screens and hang around pretty girls in Japan.

Were the girls honey-pots? Maybe.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaa ! Oh the Ingram angle dangle argle bargle gargle, you cats are in serious trouble.  Wait’ll the ATMs won’t spit out their paper.  Perhaps you’ll use Pokémon cards after all ………..

I do not agree that the CIA proper had to have been involved in the JFKA, as least not as conventionally assumed on the CT side.

There may be a link between LHO and CIA'er Bruce Solie, but Solie may have been de facto KGB.

John Newman has floated a CT that Solie was a KGB mole or asset.

I have never seen compelling evidence LHO had anything to do with the CIA, otherwise.

LHO did work as a radar tech at Atsugi, a CIA facility in part, so there is some connection there, but that appears tangential.
