(12,792 posts)as was Oswald after he made a statement to the media about being a patsy. Was Ruby motivated to shoot Oswald in order to spare Jackie Kennedy the pain of enduring a long trial? That's simply ridiculous, and the Warren Commission was quite simply deficient in not pursuing all of the connections Ruby had with both the mafia and anti-Castro covert activities. How many more deficiencies do I have to point out until you start to believe that the FBI was directed not to pursue such connections? The evidence I cite points to the deficiencies of the FBI, the Warren Commission and most certainly with the CIA. The HSCA was created in order to correct for these deficiencies, but instead their funding was cut and they were in turn misdirected by the CIA as well.
You cannot deny the fact that Hoover's FBI was complicit in filtering the evidence in any way Hoover saw fit, as he was personally directing the investigation. Both Hoover and Allen Dulles could have presented their case before the remaining Warren Commissioners, in private, that this was being done in the name of national security. Even RFK would have been forced to go along with this, as he most certainly would have placed national security needs above the needs of his own personal goal of justice for his brother.
Now that the national security concerns have long passed, it is time to reexamine both the FBI investigation and the Warren Commission. My theory is not about the details of what happened in Dealey Plaza, it is more about what happened afterward when both the FBI and Warren Commission were complicit with the actual perpetrators - those who silenced Oswald and who covered up evidence of Oswald's deep involvement with the government.
