There is no logical way that a conspiracy to frame Oswald could have worked without the cooperation of Oswald himself. At a minimum, Oswald would have to agree to take the job at the TSBD, stay there until JFK could be brought to Dallas, show up on 11.22, carry a large bag, not be in the company of anyone else or be photographed on the street giving him an alibi at the moment of the assassination, and flee like the place was on fire moments after the assassination. These actions could not be be left to chance and only ensured if Oswald was an active participant in the conspiracy (i.e. at least to the extent of following instructions). Which is why many CTers appear to have given up on the notion of Oswald as an innocent Mr. Magoo-like character stumbling into trouble time and again. Instead Oswald is playing some unspecified role - maybe as the shooter or maybe as some gullible Gomer Pyle type who gets caught up in the plot. Of course there is zero credible evidence of Oswald's involvement with anyone else, but it at least makes more narrative sense for Oswald to have been playing some active role in the fantasy conspiracy.

If there was a conspiracy, it must have been one at the highest levels. At those levels none of the actual facts would have a problem since the narrative could have been made to fit after the fact.... even more so when there wasn't going to be a trial
not be in the company of anyone else or be photographed on the street giving him an alibi at the moment of the assassination Why would being photographed be a a problem? We know there were people who had their cameras confiscated and they never got the pictures back that they took.
Which is why many CTers appear to have given up on the notion of Oswald as an innocent Mr. Magoo-like character stumbling into trouble time and again. Define "innocent"
Of course there is zero credible evidence of Oswald's involvement with anyone else, Would you expect there to be if a conspiracy had taken place and the conspirators (if they exist) control the evidence and the narrative?
To me there are enough indications in the WC report to conclude something was going on that shouldn't have been. The documented need to manipulate Oswald's bio, the selective calling of witnesses, the tampering with at least one WC witness's testimony, the way physical evidence was handled etc.... It was all geared up the reach a pre-determined conclusion regardless of the actual facts. But I guess to look at all that honestly one needs an unbiased view, so I am probably talking to the wrong guy.
