(12,792 posts)that Oswald was tied up in covert anti-Castro/pro-Castro operations, also involving mafia assassins who were hired by the CIA. Evidence even exists that certain related mafioso confessed to taking credit for the assassination and hiring Oswald, such as a declassified document of statements made by Carlos Marcello to an FBI informant. Marcello could have been motivated to lie about this for reasons of "self-aggrandizement", a theory attributed to Oswald for acting as a lone nut, nevertheless the hatred of JFK is evident, and if any mafia kingpin would have been tied up with the covert operations in Louisiana, it would have been Marcello.
Whether Oswald actually fired fatal shots is beside the point. Even if he was responsible for the fatal shots, under this theory he still would have been involved in this sphere of influence.
