(20,709 posts)In addition to the fact that there's zero evidence of it, that the KGB concluded he was not CIA, and that both the KGB and CIA concluded that they thought he was a nut and not the kind of person that they would want to work with (which he was).
--He got the job at the TSBD before JFK's route through Dallas was determined, which makes it impossible that he got the job intentionally for the purpose of the assassination.
--He got the job from the neighbor of a friend, neither of whom have any evidence of involvement with the CIA or anyone else.
--He used a cheap $12 bolt-action rifle. If he was working for someone, at the very least they would have bought him a better rifle, a semi-automatic that wouldn't have to be manually cycled between shots.
--He had no getaway plan whatsoever. After he fled, he got on a bus.
--If the CIA or anyone else wanted to silence him, they would have done it immediately, while he was wandering the streets alone, rather than wait until he had already talked to the police, and then send in a hit man to shoot him on live TV in a room full of cops, thus guaranteeing that there would still be a co-conspirator in police custody that could talk.
It's impossible to believe that the CIA or whoever was skilled enough to pull off a massive cover-up which would have had to involve many dozens of people in different organizations, and has held up through multiple investigations over 50 years, and yet they couldn't manage to have Oswald assassinated more cleanly. Nor that they would put the mission at risk by using a cheap bolt-action rifle.
