It would not surprise me at all if Oswald had connections to US Intel and possibly Cuban contacts at that time. I just do not see any convincing evidence that such organisations were behind the assassination. I accept that of course that a group of highly intelligent and powerful plotters may have had the means to cover up their activities - though I do also think might know by now if that was the.

What I find difficult to accept is that Oswald would be used in some form as a scapegoat. I don't know about you, but I have read a LOT of material on Oswald. He was a loner, he was a maverick and he could be unreliable.

His employment at the TSBD was pure coincidence ref the Dallas trip which meant that a group of plotters had very little time to put a plan into place. My belief is of course that Oswald elected to take his pot shot as few as 2 days before the Friday and I would hazard a guess he was hesitant until that last final hour no doubt amazed that he was in a position to make the shots.

No wonder Hoover covered his tracks, they should have interviewed Oswald that week, he had threatened to blow up the FBI offices or something to that effect and he was known to the agency as we all know both in N.O and Dallas.

I submit that much of the information about Oswald that you take as gospel is in fact propaganda, e.g., Alfred Newman's take on the man. His loner status is much exaggerated, as is his propensity for violence.

The assassination had been in the planning for months (these things take time), and apparently Dallas was only one of several possible sites, You believe that Oswald decided to do the deed a couple of days before. I simply cannot buy that. Too much evidence needs to be ignored, the same way much evidence about Oswald needs to be ignored in order to paint him as a psychopathic loner.
