Uh...the CIA plotted with Lee Harvey Oswald to kill a president? A guy that had to be taught how to drive by a Quaker-lady landlord who got him a minimum-wage job stacking books because he wasn't capable of finding and keeping a job, but supposedly plotted with the CIA to commit the crime of the century? If you believe that, you better stockpile some bison horns and face paint. You're gonna need 'em.

Comparing researchers who have questions of CIA involvement and knowledge of LHO to a January 6th rioter is incredibly bad faith. While I have a level of agnosticism over the CIA’s involvement in the Kennedy assassination - we know chief of counter-intelligence of the CIA Jim Angleton had opened a 201 file on Oswald from 1959 to early November of 1963.

Posner’s work is phenomenal. But dogmatic conjecture is not. Jeff Morley is a sound researcher.

I find it incredible that "writers" or long time conspiracy theorists keep getting traction from rehashing the same stuff that was proven as nonsense so many years ago.

Here's the smoking gun that blows the LHO "lone nut" theory out of the water: "Retired Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock is likewise skeptical of Oswald's alleged shooting feat. Hathcock is a former senior instructor at the U. S. Marine Corps Sniper Instruction School at Quantico, Virginia. He has been described as the most famous American military sniper in history. In Vietnam he was credited with 93 confirmed kills. He now conducts police SWAT team sniper schools across the country. Craig Roberts asked Hathcock about the marksmanship feat attributed to Oswald by the Warren Commission. Hathcock answered that he did not believe Oswald could have done what the Commission said he did. Added Hathcock:

"Let me tell you what we did at Quantico. We reconstructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything. I don't know how many times we tried it, but we couldn't duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did". (KILL ZONE, pp. 89-90)." https://www.leatherneck.com/forums/showthread.php?50970-Kennedy-assassination-Gunny-Hathcock-s-take

Even though this was before my time ( Gen X baby 76), to me, the smoking gun is a third shooter and Sr. found out what the CIA was really about and decided to fake his own death.

It is not guess work for me. I know what is in those files.
