(21,786 posts)The possibility of conspiracy can be pretty well ruled out by a number of things. First: Oswald's presence at the TSBD before the details of Kennedy's Dallas visit were worked out. Second, Oswald's ownership of the rifle. His handwriting on the order form, the magazine the order from came from among his possessions, with the order form cut out, his handwriting on the money order, rifle shipped to his PO box, his prints on the rifle, his prints in the sniper's nest, forensics verify the shots came from behind, ballistics match the bullets to Oswald's rifle, ear-witnesses heard the shots coming from the sixth floor of the TSBD, eye-witness saw Oswald in the window, with the rifle, Oswald was the only TSBD employee unaccounted for, Oswald shot a police officer with the revolver he had in his possession when arrested, Oswald had no known contacts with any potential conspirators in the four days between confirmation of motorcade route and assassination, Oswald had no extra money, from anywhere, Oswald was in Irving begging Marina to come back to him and when she said "no" left his wedding ring and most of the money he had on the nightstand...not the actions of a man who was committed to a course of action. Not the actions of a man who's part of a conspiracy, either (he begs his wife to being the kids to live with him in Dallas? Where any conspirators would be able to find him after he doesn't carry out the hit? Not plausible.)
All these supposed "connections" are just like that leap of illogic "well Ruth Paine brought Oswald to Dallas and told him about the TSBD job therefore she's in on it!", dots that don't actually connect to anything or lead to anywhere. There's no evidence to support any of these nebulous "connections" being behind what happened in Dallas.
