The JFK Assassination and American Conspiracy Culture by Jonathan Earle

20. Much easier to prove Oswald not alone than that he was

If ANY of the following are true then "Oswald acted alone" is false:

- more than 3 shots fired
- shots from more than one direction
- Oswald connected to ANY one of: Ruby, Banister, CIA, Milteer, Lake Pontchartrain, anti-Castro militias, the Mafia(s)

As for ignoring evidence here is a small part of what is ignored or explained away by the theories of the WCR:

- paraffin test on Oswald showed no signs of him firing a weapon that day yet according to WCR he fired 8 rounds from two different weapons
- 39 witness heard shots from the fence, police and sec service went immediately to the area
- witnesses reported 2 men fleeing from the backside of the fence
- Abraham Zapruder testifed under oath twice that the head shot came from behind him and that he felt "they were ganging up" on Kennedy
- John Connally and his wife don't believe that the bullet that went into JFK's neck was the same bullet that hit Connally from the rear.
- Oswald joined the USMC as soon as he could, achieved security clearance, worked with the U2 program, and was trained in Russian by the military before "defecting."
- Oswald was involved with anti-Castro militia in the New Orleans / Lake Pontchartrain area
- phone records obtained by RFK showed that Oswald had called mafia members in the days leading up to the murders
- LBJ did not agree with the conclusions of the WCR

If the evidence was as consistent and clear as we would all like it to be then there would be no controversy at this point but it isn't. Also, Oswald's background and associations should be enough to make it clear that he wasn't alone in anything he did.
