Ruby's various statements about the conspiracy[edit]

Google has the Haaretz article cached (I hope that link works), and the article does in fact say that Jack Ruby dropped hints about there being a conspiracy, although it's a bit ambiguous whether Mr. Ruby was claiming to be part of the conspiracy or claiming that said conspiracy framed him. I'm humoring BoN 17's interpretation with my latest edit. Hertzy (talk) 14:01, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Article[edit]

I'm going to try to completely overhaul this article soon, maybe this afternoon. Draft:Lee Harvey OswaldBenn (talk) 11:17, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

If only[edit]

Lee Harvey Oswald had left a statement 'I did this because...' (even if a post-event justification given that he had been caught) and/or there had been a paper trail. (Given that nothing has surfaced in the 50+ years since, even with the various regime changes and opening up of historical files to what extent is 'absence of information' proof of 'absence of actual #direct# connections?)

Would still be just as many conspiracy theories though. Anna Livia (talk) 11:07, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

John Peel[edit]

Is the John Robert Parker Ravenscroft OBE connection [1] too obscure? Anna Livia (talk) 12:44, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

cia agent[edit]

being an 'agent' for the cia (is 'agent' an actual job title?) of a kind described within the article is not the sole way one can be connected to the cia. not having had training or particular aptitude for this specific job description does not disprove any to connection to the cia, just unlikely for a specific role. plenty of cia operations (lots to do with cuba at the time of jfk's death) involve actors not directly employed by the cia, contacted and dealt with via a handler for all manner of purposes utilising all manner of people of varying competence and reliability. does not prove oswald was any of these things either, but criteria for a cia connection as presented in the article is far too narrow and specific to be used to dismiss out of hand a rather broad and undefined claim of a cia connectionAMassiveGay (talk) 10:32, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
