There are many armchair experts on here whose knowledge of how to carry out a textbook assassination and transfer of power is so impressive that I’m surprised that one of the CIA, MI6, Mossad or the KGB has not called on their services. So far as I am aware anyhow.
Reality is never textbook and no conspiracy can be perfect since it is built upon a falsehood that can unravel and be exposed. Jesse Curry noted that there was a problem placing Oswald with the gun on the 6th floor; the only witness to the 6th floor is Brennan whose ID was hesitant at best. The links between Oswald and the rifle are of similar strength. A mail order under a false name he was known to use (a devious ploy that fooled no one) reputedly with his signature. A mail box where nobody could remember him signing for the package. And contested photographs authenticated by his wife Marina, a woman as wronged as Mrs. Kennedy herself, whose testimony was considered unreliable by the WC itself. Just as Mrs. Kennedy, in a state of shock and grief, was used to give a visual stamp of approval to the LBJ inauguration so was Marina Oswald used in a similar manner by the Warren Commission.
Given that Oswald was so proud of the backyard photos that he sent them to a radical magazine, it seems odd that he did not furnish them as evidence of his revolutionary zeal when seeking visas in Mexico City from the Cuban and Soviet embassies. One CIA report claimed he was boasting of wanting to assassinate JFK so the photos would surely have helped. It’s almost as if he did not know they existed.
The Oswald (real or impersonated) who turned up in Mexico City was out of his league. He wasn’t a member of the USA Communist Party or even some Trotskyite splinter group but the sole member of the FPFC New Orleans branch. He had been outed as a fake defector to the USSR a few years earlier. Oswald was on a fool’s errand but a Cuban transit visa found in his jacket pocket after being gunned down by the DPD when resisting arrest: that would have been the perfect conspiracy.
