I love the idea that people looked at the real evidence and decided the government was lying. Few people have read the abridged Warren Commission Report, and fewer still have read the whole thing. They assume that JFK-CT mongers have read the whole thing, and know what they're talking about. But most have not, and tend to quote other CTists who've not read it either. It's a sad game of telephone.
Now most all of the documents are available online:

Many of these memos were not available to the Warren Commission in 1964 for national security reasons surrounding JFK's operations against Castro (Mongoose, JMWAVE, etc). I've read almost fifteen hundred of these records, most are one page updates, and short status briefs, but all paint a picture of the US intelligence and FBI mindset of the Cold War in the early 1960s. We see a CIA spread thin across the globe, with not enough officers to cover Mexico and Central America, and not enough resources compared to their stations in Europe. We see an FBI run by a man who saw Communists everywhere except where the Soviets and Cubans actually had moles.
Against this Cold War backdrop, Lee Oswald got lucky, and hit two of his three shots. Next, he shot a cop, and almost shot a second one during his capture. His background as a Soviet defector made him a sock-puppet for Mark Lane and other CTists. In 59 years, nobody has been able to link him to the CIA, FBI, or Castro. Sure, we've got death-bed confessions from different people claiming he worked for the Mafia's CIA connection, or just the CIA, or just the New Orleans mob. No two death-bed confessions are the same. No consistent primary suspect(s), either. Some claim LBJ, others claim Hunt Oil, or Castro, or the Chicago Mob, or CIA-linked anti-Castro Cubans.
At some point you'd think people would notice that all the JFK-CTs contradict each other. But no.
What hasn't changed? The facts.
And while in 1963, a lone fame-hungry loser with a rifle was so shocking few could believe he acted alone, in 2022 most people would be relieved he was only armed with a bolt-action rifle. In 2022, a lone dork shooting up a school, or a shopping center, or a Waffle House doesn't stay at the top of the news feed longer than three days. Unlike in 1963, it's well known what one person can do with a gun.
If you want to feel bad about something, feel bad about obscuring the truth about Oswald acting alone. By adding other gunmen, you let him off the hook, and allowed Charles Whitman to up the death toll two years later in the same state. By running wild with tales of French hitmen, or mafia pros from Toronto this allowed America to avoid having a serious discussion about guns, and this led the RFK getting shot only to be obscured by his own CT.
Wouldn't a better CT be that the NRA is behind the JFK and RFK CTs instead?
Just asking questions.
