I have been following this case closely since shortly after the assassination happened when I was 12 years old, and I believe that every thing you have said in your column is 100% correct and there is actually a lot more evidence of government perfidy in the case.

The faked appearance of Oswald at the Russian and Cuban Embassies in Mexico City is the smoking gun of the case. It shows that high level US intelligence officials were attempting to set Oswald up as a patsy and also implicate Russia and Cuba. LBJ later used the threat of nuclear war to convince the members of the Warren Commission that they had to find that Oswald acted alone.

Oswald was managed by the CIA. His handler supposedly committed suicide a few years later. Sam Giancana was assassinated the night before he was to appear at the second Warren commission hearing. Just some of the many threads that were used to hide the truth.

sounds a lot like the Clinton's body count

There are all sorts of rabbit holes surrounding the event, of course. For those who wish to obscure and deceive, it is sufficient to allow or promote several competing narratives and theories, among which the true and the obvious are concealed in plain sight.

From James W. Douglass' "JFK and the Unspeakable," I learned of the late Robert Vinson, an Air Force Sergeant in 1963. On YouTube, on the "Lone Gunman" channel, there is a video titled "Robert G Vinson Statement Nov 2 1996." In that video, he gives recorded testimony of the interruption of his westbound flight from Andrews AFB on 22 November 1963. His Air Force transport, on which he was the sole passenger hopping a ride, deviated mid-flight, and made an impromptu landing on a stretch of grass along the Trinity River in Dallas. There the plane picked up two silent men in nondescript garb for transport. The events of that day and the impact on Vinson's life that followed were quite interesting to me, and Mr. Vinson strikes me as supremely credible.

What was the impact on Vinson's life?

Read James W. Douglass's book "JFK and the Unspeakable". Meticulously researched and well written.

I will go put and buy it right away so I will know how Vinson's life was impacted. Thanks for the tip.

It would be interesting to know of the impact on his life!! This entire story stunk from the get go! I so hope the truth comes out in my lifetime.

The short version is that the CIA took an interest in Vinson, apparently right after they realized what he had been witness to. For the longer version (about an hour and 20 minutes), the late Mr. Vinson here tells the story in his own words.

Yes, I was always skeptical of the quick arrest of Oswald, & never believed the story that he shot the President. I truly believe our government was behind the assassination as well.

Sometimes life really is just as bizarre as the events that happened that November weekend in 1963. But more often than not, another explanation is entirely more rational.

If you are saying that Oswald was a lone gunman, then you are the one who is not being rational!

I think, in life, we always look for the most plausible explanation. Such as if the virus emerged in Wuhan, and there was a virology lab in Wuhan, then the "wet market" thesis is more than a bit "wet." So Oswald as the "lone gunman" would not be the most rational nor first choice.

He doesn't seem to be saying that.

I personally do not rely on the "rationality" of an explanation. After all, many of these events are highly irrational, so why should they have rational explanations? I rely heavily on real research, and this has certainly been the case with the JFK assassination, along with 9/11 and many (many!) other events of history and science.

The good reception to my comment here inspired me to expand my thoughts in an article on my own Substack. Here is a link if you are interested:
