We all know our boy Oswald was a CIA plant, but what about the assassination itself?

It's gonna be 15 years until all the records get released so make your bets now on the most likely outcome as well as your favorites.

I read a new scenario. Oswald was definitely a CIA plant, but the reason for the assassination was to blame Castro and Cuba, thus justifying a military invasion after the failed Bay of Pigs. This explains Oswald being in the "Fair play for Cuba" committee and actually filmed getting in a physical altercation with a gusano. Remember back then nobody is walking around with their phones and filming everything, how was this altercation caught on camera? This got him on radio to debate the gusano and praise Castro/Cuba. Two months before the assassination, Oswald, or an impersonator, travelled to Mexico City and visited the Cuban and Russian embassies, looking to enter Cuba.

The explanation why there was no military invasion of Cuba, was that Johnson was afraid of risking WWIII, and he wanted to focus on Vietnam.

I think I’ve heard this as well. It makes sense that it was the original plan, but maybe they abandoned it afterwards because they thought it might lead to too many questions. Also Johnson as you said.
