JFK Conference: James DiEugenio made clear how Foreign Policy changed after November 22, 1963

239. I'd say we agree on a lot of good Democratic issues, if not the one brought up by the o.p.

The current Dallas wack a doodles should be brought up on a number of all-purpose charges, creating a disturbance \ disturbing the peace, intimidation, obstructing traffic, and conspiracy to commit \ criminal conspiracy charges.

The falseness of Oswald's 'connections' to the left was blatantly obvious, even in '63. Obvious to average citizens, obvious to media sources, obvious to politically powerful people. The assertion that people believed Castro was behind it, and so were afraid to look, is a red herring idea from the right wing birchers. Not accusing you, just saying where the idea appears to have come from, in my view.

The large number of international leaders the agency was involved with assassinating would seem more likely to make them suspects in the assassination of our national leader, rather than making it seem more likely that Castro could reach into a far-right stronghold to assassinate Kennedy out of revenge.
