A new theory of the assassination

[James Lewis]

I don't see any other appropriate thread about theories about who was behind it, so I'll leave this here. My own theory came about by serendipity. I was researching the limousine damage and trying to track down a rumor of a bullet hole in the floor. So, I looked up an article in Time from 1964. And I noticed a theory which was very widespread in France.
The theory is that the CIA learned about a plot to kill President Kennedy and intentionally let it happen. They knew about a threat to kill JFK and intentionally did not notify the Secret Service.
Then Jean Davison wrote in Oswald's Game that Hoover told the Warren Commission that they knew from a source that Castro had complained in his inner circle that Oswald had made a threat to kill President Kennedy when he was at the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City and Castro saw it as a provocation to try to link Cuba to the assassination. Either the CIA had its own sources in the Cuban Embassy such as Duran or they had room bugs so that they also HEARD Oswald making that threat to assassinate President Kennedy, but intentionally withheld that from the Secret Service. They could justify doing that to protect sources and methods. The Warren Commission never made that public.

You may also see the work of John Armstrong, which makes a VERY strong case for two Oswalds, at least. And, not only did the CIA know about a plot, so did J. Edgar's FBI.

The problem with this is not exactly uncommon to even the best and brightest of JFK researchers' works.

The CIA is a tool, not the carpenter.

In turn, the carpenter is not the architect.

And the architect is not the homeowner.

Hunt and Phillips wrote. Richard Condon wrote. But when JJ wrote, it took years to find the typewriter.

Well, Mr. Angleton would know who struck John...seeing that Oswald more than likely worked for CIA counter-intelligence, as Lisa Pease very effectively argued in Probe magazine and The Assassinations.
