Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone in killing JFK?

No. The father of Ted Cruz, a Cuban, assassinated JFK. Trump told us this and he would never lie.

I just watched the movie JFK and it lays out some interesting theories. Problem is, if you start doing any research on Wikipedia or anywhere else, the information is all so convoluted that it’s nearly impossible to make much sense of the big picture. Just wanted to know what some of you think.

Since J.F.K. film was released, F.B.I., with modern sophisticated rifles have been able to duplicate what Warren Commission stated L.H. Oswald did according to report. That does not matter. Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock and other Marines at Quantico were never able to duplicate what Warren Commission stated Oswald did while Hathcock was alive. No one can offer a benign explanation for the funding of Lee Oswald's travels. Oswald's wife supposedly left him and took the two girls because Oswald was so broke but he had money to travel to Mexico City, Mexico? It does not add up. F.B.I. can only demonstrate it is theoretically possible all shots came for Book Depository. F.B.I. cannot prove Oswald took the shots. Robert Baer, ex-C.I.A. has reason to believe Cubans wanted Oswald dead. Baer never offered proof or stated which ones. White Spanish Republicans who were upset over failure of Bay of Pigs Invasion? Cubans loyal to Fidel who were upset over Bay of Pigs Invasion and other assassination attempts? Neither White Republican Cuban-Americans or Cuban citizens loyal to Fidel could create the image of Oswald as a patsy. No organized conspirators would make an assassination attempt with Oswald. He was too unstable. I am inclined to believe he was set up.

correction

If you go to Dallas there are people with all the answers. You don’t even have to ask and they will share. That movie is 30+ years old. Remind me again was it made for historical accuracy or to make money.

I just watched Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Did Lincoln really kill vampires in the 1860s?

I just watched The Patriot. Did Colonel Tavington really burn an entire village of women and children?

There were a lot of interesting characters involved in the whole story and these are just a handful...

Allen Dulles. Director of the CIA during the Bay of Pigs incident. Fired by Kennedy in 1962, a year before the assassination. At the time, Kennedy said he wanted to "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds." After the assassination, he was appointed by LBJ as one of the seven members of the Warren Commission to investigate the assassination.

Charles Cabell. Deputy Director of the CIA during the Bay of Pigs incident. Also fired by Kennedy in 1962.

Earle Cabell. Brother of Charles Cabell and Mayor of Dallas at the time of the assassination.

George de Mohrenschildt. Reportedly worked closely with the CIA throughout his life. Was close friends with Jackie Kennedy's parents and Jackie Kennedy referred to him as "Uncle George" when she was a kid. Later on became friends with and a mentor to Lee Harvey Oswald (wtf!) in 1962, a year before the assassination.

Yes Oswald acted alone.

The CIA may have killed Kennedy, but the notion that he was in some kind of struggle against the deep state is absolute hogwash. Kennedy was personally responsible for escalating the cold war into ICBM territory, crying for two years about the "missile gap" for political gain. He was a sleazeball.

And whoever killed him, the likeliest reason is the one noone ever thinks of: he nearly started a nuclear war. Probably the best circumstantial evidence that the CIA did it is the success of the false narrative that he was the hero of the Cuban missile crisis, instead of the reckless damn-fool instigator.

If by taking him out they prevented a future nuclear war then I say good riddance.

Everyone remembers just the Cuban missle crisis, but forgets the USA started the whole thing by placing ballistic missiles in Italy and Turkey and the failed bay of pigs invasion. CIA tried to assassinate Casto like 200 times, so how many attempts they need with JFK?

The films of Oliver Stone are not know for their historical accuracy.

“JFK” is well known as a piece of historical fiction. It was made for money not accuracy. Oliver Stone makes great movies. Accuracy is not the goal.

Yes on the first one. No, on the second one.

He was stopping Israel from getting nukes.

There are 2-3 people who were at the hospital where JFK was taken who have said that the exit wound was on the back of the head, not the front. Thus, the shot that killed Kennedy had to come from the front, not from Oswald. They also said that the photos of the head shot had been doctored in the Warren report. They said a huge chunk of the lower right back of the head was blown off and you can see it being retrieved by the bodyguard who climbs on the car... or maybe it was Jackie O reaching for it... I can't remember. Anyway, you can see someone reaching for something in the video.

I've seen the videos/transcripts of these interviews made decades later. One person, I'd take with a huge grain of salt, but when several come forward with "the truth" I'm more inclined to believe them than the Warren Commission.

Basically, there are just too many smoking guns to indicate that Oswald did not act alone. There's a lot more evidence to indicate that Oswald was set up to be the fall guy, whether he fired a shot or not.

As far as the movie is concerned, I never watched it.

James Files and Charles Nicoletti shot JFK.

Did C.I.A. act 100% on their own without L.B.J.'s knowledge? Did C.I.A. act 100% on their own without U.S. Army's knowledge?

Only C.I.A. could have placed large article in New Zealand newspapers nearly immediately after Oswald was arrested.

Only C.I.A. would have set up Oswald to look like obvious lone nut by sending Oswald to Mexico City, Mexico and have Oswald visit Soviet Embassy a few weeks before assassination, October, 1963. Who paid for the trip?

It was not Kennedy's random bad luck that Oswald got a job at Book Depository a few weeks before assassination. Only C.I.A. could have gotten Oswald that job on parade route.

Could Robert Baer, ex-C.I.A. be onto something regarding Cubans? Yes. Cubans could have been the real gunmen, but Cubans had no ability to set up Oswald to look like patsy.

Anyone who says Oswald did it or Oswald acted alone has no ability to explain who paid for Oswald to go to Soviet Union.

Anyone who says Oswald did it, please explain why Oswald was not arrested by F.B.I. after Oswald returned to U.S. after Oswald defected to Soviet Union. Only C.I.A. could have done that or F.B.I. could have done that.

Some say the conspiracy was too big to be kept secret. 125 is considered the upper limit for number of conspirators to keep a conspiracy silent for 100 years. Since dozens of those likely to have been in the know began dropping dead within weeks of assassination, 250 people could have been in on an assassination conspiracy.

all the wikipedia pages are dumbed down versions of the events that took place and then interpreted differently on each new edit, same thing with the film. you need to go and get the actual orginal testimonies and recordings to see what really happened

Vampires are a metaphor for the Confederate States of America. Duh.

"Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone in killing JFK?"

To answer the actual question: I have no reason to think anyone other than LHO was involved. Nor, in a half-century of looking, have I found any evidence to confirm someone else was involved. "Mighta" and "coulda" don't count as evidence.

And the movie was intended as entertainment, just like James Ellroy's books on the subject--not history.
