Many conspiracists don't believe that Oswald shot anyone that day in
Dallas, Texas. And these same CTers don't think Oswald had any motive
at all for murdering the President. The bulk of the evidence says they
are wrong, however, and also says that the now-deceased Oswald is/was
guilty as Hitler.
Regarding the subject of "Motive":
As most people know, verifying a defendant's specific motive is not
required in order to prove someone's guilt of committing a crime
"beyond a reasonable doubt" (which I believe that the evidence DOES do
with regard to Oswald's guilt in both the JFK and J.D. Tippit murders).
But, as for motive, yes, I have a thought on Oswald's reasons for
wanting to kill John Kennedy. And, yes, it aligns with anti-conspiracy
author Gerald Posner's thoughts on the matter. Call me a
Posner-Bugliosi-Warren Commission "Parrot" if you so desire (I don't
mind -- that's good company, IMO) -- but the "He Was Devoting Himself
To Political Assassination" motive makes the most sense to me,
considering the overall weirdness and "social outcast" character of a
certain Mr. Lee H. Oswald.
The "Oswald Alone" Scenario..............
1.) Lee Harvey Oswald purchases a high-powered rifle by mail-order in
March of 1963. He uses an alias (A.J. Hidell) to order the rifle (plus
he buys a handgun by mail-order at approximately the same time in early
'63).
2.) Days after receiving his Mannlicher-Carcano 6.5mm rifle, what does
he do? .... He goes to the home of General Edwin A. Walker and tries to
kill him in the darkness of night on April 10, 1963. He even has
detailed "plans" drawn up on where he'll "hide" (bury) the rifle, and
written instructions for his wife, Marina, on what to do if he's
captured before he can return to her. Marina even testifies (and has
never wavered from this claim) that Oswald told her -- "I just shot
Walker".
3.) There's reason to believe, through Marina also, that Lee had, prior
to 1963, also threatened the life of the Vice-President. At the time
(1962), Marina was actually uncertain if Lee meant the current V.P.
(Lyndon Johnson), or if he was referring to former Vice-President Nixon
(who was about to come to Dallas). Either way, it doesn't really
matter, because the fact would still be the same -- SOME "threat" of
some ilk was spouted by Oswald toward another person with political
power.
4.) Lee Oswald next sees a golden opportunity that he simply cannot
pass up. He finds out a few days prior to November 22, 1963, that
President Kennedy is coming right through his city (Dallas) in a
motorcade that will take the President's car directly in front of his
workplace. Therein lies the perfect chance to redeem himself for his
failing in April in the Walker attempt.
5.) Result? -- An unexpected weeknight trip to Irving by Oswald to get
the rifle (his only rifle, which was being stored inside Ruth Paine's
garage in the Dallas suburb of Irving). He wraps up the weapon in brown
paper, and carries it into work on Friday morning, November 22. He
tells a lie about the contents of the package he carries with him to
work that day. He has easy access to all floors of the building where
he works (the Texas School Book Depository), including Floor #6. The
odd stacking of book cartons on the sixth floor makes it an even easier
task for Oswald to construct his "nest" at the southeast corner window.
Just another hodge-podge of books stacked up to any casual passer-by.
6.) 12:30 PM, November 22 -- Oswald does the deed he had set out to do
no more than six days prior. He can no doubt tell with his third shot
that the deed was successfully accomplished. He admires it for just an
extra moment or two at the window.
7.) Hastily, he dashes to the western end of the building's sixth floor
and stashes the rifle behind some boxes. (And this makeshift hiding
place WAS a fairly good one, considering the assassin's obvious and
understandable hurried state. Because the rifle wasn't discovered by
the police until 1:22 PM -- some 52 minutes after the shooting, even
though the building was crawling with a police presence almost
immediately after the last shot rang out. By 1:22, Oswald had already
taken a bus and a cab to the general area of his Oak Cliff
roominghouse, had dashed into his room, put on a light jacket, picked
up his revolver, hoofed it to 10th & Patton, killed Dallas policeman
J.D. Tippit, and was slinking in the alley behind Jefferson Blvd. by
the time his rifle was first discovered in the Depository.)
-------------------
A large number of conspiracy promoters vehemently disagree with the
scenario I've outlined above. I guess many people always will have a
desire to interject the word "conspiracy" into the JFK case. And those
same CTers will fight to exonerate a murdering lowlife named Oswald
until they've breathed their own last breaths of air. Well, so be it.
But, in my personal opinion, Lee Harvey Oswald, who defected to Russia
in 1959 and by all accounts hated the country he was born in (the USA),
was just exactly the type of Loner/Outcast/Weirdo (take your pick) who
would aim a rifle at the head of a passing U.S. President.

That's because Oswald was a communist and conspiracy theorists are
communists. They should have all their teeny little whangers cut off
with something dull and rusty and painful so that they can sing
L'Internationale in soprano.
Piss off Ted, go bottle a few brewskies...
Yes.
> Piss off Ted, go bottle a few brewskies...
Who's Ted?
But he was no Burkean conservative either. He believed in acquiring
power for its own sake and that meant expanding the role of the state.
He would have become a left-wing kook like his brothers did. His party
would have led him left and he would have followed. JFK expanded
America's role in Vietnam; RFK offered to donate blood to the Vietcong.
It's simply amazing how the facts bother LNT'ers not at all.
If believing in a conspiracy puts one on the left, then I'm *still* waiting for
an explanation for Bush being in the White House. And Republican majorities in
the House and Senate.
It simply amazes me that the overwhelming MAJORITY of America that believes in a
conspiracy would vote the right in.
But don't let the facts disturb your political rant. Or the fact that you're
almost certainly to the left of me.

That sounds fair enough.
We'd expect such nonsense coming from a right-wing kook like you. But
for the benefit of lurkers there is no truth to anything you have said.
All crass speculation.
Kennedy had refused to send in ground combat troops. That was done by LBJ.
And where do you get the wacky idea of RFK donating blood to the Vietcong?
Are you aware of the fact that Kennedy arranged to give medicine to
Castro to buy the freedom of the exiles? You'd twist that into Kennedy
donating medicine to a Communist because he sympathized with him. That's
what you right-wing kooks do so well. Twist the facts.

Well, Ted, we already know that you are a right-wing nut. My question is
why you right-wing nuts think that your best tactic is to defame
President Kennedy by saying that he is a fellow right-wing nut? Is that
the worst thing you can come up with to assassinate his character?
Calling him one of your own?
The fact remains that President was a liberal and proud to call himself
a liberal as he explained in one of his most famous speeches.
Also about the only Dove who consistently opposed the Hawks surrounding
him who wanted to nuke Cuba, start WWIII with the Soviets, and escalate
the war in Vietnam.
More proof of just how dangerous these right-wing nuts are.
Oh yeah..I forgot..it's right out of the lone nut manual. Because he was
a faggot,hated this country, a nutjob..a wacko communist SOB, he didn't
need a motive.
>89% of America, Red?<
Do you seriously think that 89% off America really know enough about
the JFK assassiantion to have any sort of
informed opinion?
They're just blowing with the wind.

Did anyone say informed? An opinion poll does not screen the public it
calls to find out how informed they are. That would be sampling bias.
