Let's have a poll on JFK

176. Kind of the opposite...

You say, "A lot of the public backstory about Oswald doesn't make sense if you look at it closely..."

Indeed, unless you see that his actions for many years were not those of a "hardcore communist" (whatever that is, or whatever such actions would look like) but of a U.S. intelligence asset.

It is implausible that the "defector" who tried to renounce his citizenship later returned to the U.S. with a Russian wife and got his papers after a few hours waiting for routine paper work - unless, of course, he was part of Angleton's fake defector program. Next thing you know he had sensitive jobs with military contractor photo labs and hung out with White Russian emigres and anti-Castro Cubans while pretending to be pro-Castro. This too is the profile of an agent, not a communist.

The Mexico visit of Oswald is a black hole of disinformation. It's questionable if he was ever there - the CIA claimed surveillance cameras that would have recorded his entrance to the embassy happened to be out of service just then.

Cuba and USSR have absolutely no motive to kill a U.S. president.

The same JCCS you have implausibly covering up the murder of the president by foreign enemies are the people who wanted a pretext to bomb Cuba and thus proposed "Operation Northwoods," and who were trying to make Kennedy enter a nuclear war in October 1962. Of course they would have exposed it, if this had been a foreign operation -- and it wouldn't have necessitated a nuclear war, although again, lots of these maniacs wanted one, which demonstrates that they were crazy enough to kill even a fellow cold warrior if they found him too liberal and soft and suspect of desiring peace.
