What open questions? He clearly had access to the place where the shots were fired, and knew how to use a gun. The shot was not particularly difficult.

I completely agree with you that it was Oswald but the weird parts of this story are:

1. Oswald defection from the army and time in the Soviet Union

2. Oswald going to the Cuban and Soviet embassies before the murder (possibly starting a third world war)

3. The subsequent assassination of Oswald

This can be mostly explained by a mental disorder but it is still a messed up story

Kinda like the Reichstag fire huh

I look at it like the crazy general in Dr Strangelove that is trying to start a world war

I highly doubt that a secret in the caliber of “let’s kill the President” can be kept by so many people for such a long time. In my experience large organizations of people just don’t work that way

As a wise man once said: ”Back and to the left”

Also, was Oswald’s own assassination at the hands of a mob figure ever satisfactorily explained?

Jim Garrison was basically accused of among other things being an outright pederast in the New Orleans papers years ago so his credibility is a little suspect to say the least.

Crazy how a bunch of CIA connected people got him that job giving him that access, probably nothing.
