Airing out the JFK Assassination
Here's my take :
JFK was shot by LHO from the corner window in the TSBD bldg. There were only three shots. J Rubinstein shot LHO on his own volition the following Sunday. I saw it live on tv, as a little kid. The rifle was his, the prints were his, his wife told of his endless dry-firing, his attempt on Gen. Walker. He's good for it.
I've arrived at these views, in summary, after reviewing a lot of the literature, discussion of the evidence, including the conspiracy narratives.
It is possible LHO had agents of influence, but he seems so fundamentally unstable that he is an unlikely foundation of a conspiracy involving either some aspect of government, disgruntled Cubanos, or the mafia.
Regarding motive, LHO was a Communist and quite enamored of Castro's Cuba. He likely viewed Kennedy as a reactionary and threat to that Country, rather than the benevolent moderate/liberal as he's viewed these days conventionally.
LHO was an expert shot, it wasn't that hard of a shot for an expert (i've walked it, seen it myself), fits the profile of an anti-social lonely ideologically-driven adventurer, attention-seeker & nut.
What animates the conspiracy are - the absurd neatness of dispatching the assassin two days later, the Kennedy's intimate & complex & contradictory relation to the mafia, a very robust CIA given to covert ops including assassinations (Diem quite recently prior to JFK), a puritanical closet queer FBI director who had it in for the Kennedys (JFK was evid. planning on firing Hoover upon re-election), RFK's prosecution of Labor & Mafiosos as provocation (after Joe had enlisted their aid in electing his son). They had, indeed, acquired enemies.
However - any of those more professional factions wouldn't have hired LHO.
There's my take, in a nutshell.
What's yours ?
