This is the same stunt he pulled on me when I said I didn't believe Oswald was a CIA agent. My response that I didn't think Oswald was one came after a number of people claimed Oswald indeed was an agent. The typical back and forth on who Oswald was sort of exchange.
He then asked me what my firsthand knowledge of intelligence operations was. Not, mind you, the people making the claim but me, disagreeing with the claim. So I cited the judgment of CIA people. Not good enough. Then KGB people. Not good enough. So the original challenge was both silly and dishonest. He wasn't going to accept the judgment of people with actual firsthand knowledge of the issue.
In any case, we have once again the claim that powerful groups (in numerous agencies and with numerous political views, e.g,. Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, all who hate each other) conspiring to kill the president in broad daylight with hundreds of people watching, many with cameras. And then altering much of the evidence to make it look like the shots came from behind when they came from elsewhere. And then covering this all up. For half a century.
This is sheer lunacy and at some point we have to recognize that we're trying to reason with people who believe in such lunacy. And act accordingly.
Oswald, the communist who frequently associated with anti-communists, most likely wasn’t a CIA officer but that doesn’t mean that the CIA or other intelligence agencies didn’t find him useful as an asset who could be manipulated for intelligence operations.
The fingerprints of the intelligence community are all over his biography from his participation in the Civil Air Patrol where he met David Ferrie to his fake FPFCC activism.
That intelligence agencies have covered up their knowledge and involvement with Oswald pre-November 22 doesn’t prove they were involved with JFK’s assassination. The innocent explanation is they’re embarrassed to be connected to the alleged assassin of a US President but played no direct role in the assassination.
The CIA no longer denies that they engaged in a coverup post-JFK assassination. So it’s legitimate to speculate about why they remain so secretive about some agents and operations from almost 60 years ago.
