That they then demand we refute. To their satisfaction.
How can one prove that Ruth Paine wasn't a CIA agent controlling/handling Oswald? It's not impossible to prove a negative - I can prove I didn't shoot Lincoln; but in this matter it is impossible. Even if we had documents from the CIA stating that Ruth Paine would not be a person of use and that they rejected any thoughts of using her, the conspiracists would simply say they were faked. So what can we do?
All we can do, essentially, is ask that if she was part of the framing of Oswald then why didn't she do "A" or "B"? As in, why didn't she say he expressed hatred towards JFK? Why didn't she say she saw his rifle in the garage? And that she saw him leave with it that morning? Those are the types of deeply incriminating evidence against Oswald that the conspirators would want her to do.
But she did none of that. Why not?
For the sake of argument let's assume this was a conspiracy either big or small. Logic dictates:
A) If Oswald was a conspirator then he was planted in the TSBD and the motorcade was rerouted down Elm.
B) If Oswald was planted then the conspirators had to be high enough on the food chain to make it happen.
C) Only a "big" conspiracy could have set up Oswald for the Big Event.
D) If this was a big conspiracy then Oswald was a patsy and the DPD were in on it.
E) If Oswald was the patsy in the Big Event then he was also a singleton agent who got double-crossed.
F) If Oswald was a singleton agent then he must have been recruited from CIA's Fake Defector program.
G) If Oswald was a CIA agent then he had handlers.
H) If Oswald had handlers the person who he lived with and got him a job at the TSBD, was likely one of them.
I) He lived with Ruth Paine who was overly involved in his life, yet apparently knew nothing about the Big Event.
J) Handlers come in all shapes and sizes and Paine was perfect for the role considering how she continues to dupe all the LNers.
The Food Chain:
K) Who was in charge of the Fake Defector program in 1963? CIA CI director James Jesus Angleton, Allen Dulles best bud.
L) Who wanted JFK dead the most after the BOPs fiasco? Dulles.
M) Who had that compromising photo of Hoover at the time? Angleton
N) Who was easily persuaded to get on board with the Big Event? Hoover
O) Who had various members of the DPD and SS under their thumb? Hoover
P) Who was more than willing to turn a blind eye and let it all play out so he could step in as POTUS? Johnson
Q) Who were the ONLY people who could have made the Big Event happen? See above.
Before you know it, Oswald gets apprehended by the DPD 1 hour after he flees the scene, then Hoover and Johnson get on the phone to discuss a month's worth of incriminating dirt on Oswald dug up less than 24 hours after the assassination. Sorry, I just don't buy it. You can speculate why Paine didn't do this or that, but it seems to me she did her job perfectly. She's still here isn't she? JMHO.
