Stupid question, but one that we sometimes overlook

[Kevin Fisher]

What do the proponents of the Warren Report state was Oswald motive in killing JFK?

I seldom hear this discussed. Many want to pin it on Oswald, yet they never address the concern of "why".

If it was thought to be because of JFK's attitude toward Cuba, then how would making LBJ the president change any of that? Afterall, LBJ was not a Castro sympathizer.

And if Oswald killed JFK for political reasons, then why doesn't he accept responsiblity for the murder? What is there to gain, what message does it send when the acts of political dissention are not recognized or associated with the real culprits?

I happen to believe Oswald when he states that he shot no one, and that he is just a patsy.

If he had shot JFK it would have been for political gain, from which Oswald would have likely shouted out to the world, with pride, that he had ended world oppression over Cuba with one bullet to the head.

Dear Mr. Kevin Fisher,

Kudos to you for a Brilliant Question, and not a stupid one. It is rather stupid, in my opinion, that this question is not raised much more often.

Oswald was brilliant. Oswald hated guns. Oswald had CIA camera's and other material with him. Oswald could speak Russian. Oswald and Jimmy Sutton had the same CIA Controller, David Atlee Phillips. Oswald, David Ferrie, and Jimmy Sutton all met on previous occasions. Oswald had top U.S. Security clearance. Oswald worked for both the CIA, and the FBI. Oswald could drive. Oswald drove Jimmy Sutton around Dallas, and to the "gun range" so that Jimmy could site in the weapons. Oswald picked up the cartridges for Jimmy and placed them in a paper bag which Jimmy took possession of, which is also why Oswald had GSR (Gun Shot Residue) on his finger tips, from picking up shell casings. But no GSR on his wrist, where it would have been if he fired a revolver killing Officer Tippet. And no GSR on his arm or face, where it would have been if Oswald fired a rifle,either killing JFK, or "merely acting as a decoy shooter" as I have also heard alleged.

Kevin, a really Great Question.

Anxious to hear the thoughts of other JFK Forum Members.

I am confused by your statement ???
Oswald cannot accept responsibility for the murders because he is D E A D

I misspoke. It should read "...then why DIDN'T he accept responsibility...?"

LHO is a deep subject. I would love to hear what Jimmy has to say about him.I am not sure we can know for sure just what he was up to but I think CIA and FBIuse him to infiltrate certain groups. I have noticed when he was in Dallas he was always around Oak Cliff.There was much more going on in Oak Cliff than we have previously been aware.I see LHO connected to Anti Castro Cubans as there were several in Oak Cliff,LHO, Ruby, Tipppit, Bledsoe, Earlene Roberts and her sister all lived in Oak Cliff within walking distance.Almost every name that pops up, he was connected in some way.I think it all started in New Orleans when he was a teen and was recruited into the LCAP unit where Ferrie, Porter Bledsoe and others befriended him. He was a loner. I think he would have been alone in a room full of people.He had a high IQ but his upbringing made him vulnerable as did the contacts he was exposed to by his mother.He found a place that made hm feel like he had worth. Since he always played the idiot he was a perfect Patsy.Just a crazy loaner, no connections. Probably never shot anyone in his entire life.I am sure Mr. B kept him pumped and the secret world suited him well.He married but really did a poor job of that. it was obvious he did not fit the Husband/Father figure.They just stuck him where they wanted him and he was expendable.I still have not figured why Ruby just walked up and shot him?He had to know what his fate would be.
