Reply #51: I agree that there are conspiracies, and conspiracies to assassinate presidents

and world leaders.

Anwar Sadat was killed as a result of a conspiracy. So was Lincoln.

But the evidence in the JFK case proves conclusively that Oswald was the lone shooter. Was there a conspiracy beyond Oswald? Even the WCR allowed for that, stating at the time that though they had investigated every conspiracy lead presented to them, they could find no evidence of a conspiracy. Yet, they admitted that it was possible that provable evidence simply hadn't been presented to them.

The JFK CTs that I've read all fail dreadfully, either by being too far fetched or absolutely nuts. One would think that after 45 years one of the thousands of people who would have had to have been involved in such a conspiracy would have talked, but that hasn't happened. Sure, a few self-serving people with a book to sell have spun some wild and detailed stories, but the stories never check out.

Based on Oswald's background and the evidence tying him to the crime, I would say that he didn' need a conspiracy behind him to commit the crime, and if there were conspirators, one wonders why they would have ever picked a nutjob like Oswald to do the thing and why they wouldn't have provided escape assistance to him after the event, rather than allowing him to walk around Dallas with all of $13 in his pocket and kill Officer Tippet.
