I don't doubt for one second that LHO had something to do with the assassination. However, I think it's clear that there was more than him, and, by definition, that's a conspiracy.
Think about these common-sense facts that just scratch the surface:
1) Oswald had a clear shot at the motorcade coming down Houston Street, but instead allegedly takes a highly angled shot at a car moving AWAY from him on Elm Street with a tree in the middle of his line of sight. That right there is so glaring. Why exactly would he do that?
2) Why did the shooting actually occur on Elm? Because multiple guns could be trained on the President during essentially the last portion of the motorcade trip with any sizeable number of people there. Some call it "triangulation", but it could have been many more. than just three sets of shooters. But three seems about right. Again, if acting alone, why wouldn't Oswald have taken the much easier shots on Houston Street?
3) "Back and to the left", "back and to the left", "back and to the left". The only legitimate explanation I have ever seen for these odd movements of our beloved President's body while suffering this horrible assault is that he was wearing a brace because of his back. I'm not sure this was even covered by the Warren Commission
4) LHO's movements after allegedly assassinating the President are bizarre, to say the least. He was seen in the Texas Book Depository building several floors below the sixth floor not at all out of breath very shortly after the shooting. Then he makes an insane trip to his rooming house ON A BUS. Then, he gives up a taxi to a lady after the bus gets stalled in traffic and takes a later taxi. Seriously? And, then, this monstrous assassin goes to a rooming house to change his shirt and jacket and pick up his revolver? Seriously, might such a cunning devious assassin thought of his getaway a little more skillfully than this, given how amazing his shots were with a rifle with a misaligned sight from World War I? Don't you think he would have packed all of this along with his "curtain rods"?
5) Oswald admired President Kennedy and was NEVER heard to say a disparaging word about him, AFAIK.
6) Oh, and, did I forget to mention Ruby's "gangland-style" murder of LHO? Because he wanted to keep Mrs. Kennedy from suffering pain and sadness at testifying at Oswald's trial. Are you kidding me?
Come on, man, as our current beloved President says...this is just for starters. I could go and on. I am not saying LHO had no involvement. He was definitely connected to something. But we will never really know because, for example, there are absolutely no notes or recordings when he was in custody with the Dallas Police from Friday afternoon, November 22 until he was killed on the morning of November 24. Yeah right...
People who criticize Oliver Stone's "JFK" as fiction miss the point that it is no more or less fiction than the Warren Report. I've just listed a few common-sense details that have never been explained. The connections in this case to many characters in the Mafia, the government, etc are intriguing to say the least. What exactly do you think Nixon meant went he instructed Bob Haldeman and John Ehrichman to tell the CIA to block the FBI's Watergate burglary because it "would open up the whole Bay of Pigs thing"? What exactly do you think Nixon meant? Whatever it really did mean, the CIA did tell the FBI to stop its Watergate investigation, and this lasted for 2 weeks? You do know about the many connections between the Bay of Pigs planners and Oswald, right?
The one thing I do know is that I love everything about President Kennedy. Perhaps history will show that it was this tragic death and the fact that documents are still being released nearly sixty years after the assassination that started the complete disbelief that folks have when the government tells them something.
I suppose you also believe that Watergate was a third-rate burglary by folks having nothing to do with Nixon's administration, that we won the Vietnam War, and that the 2003 Iraq War was justified? As you say, "it's that simple" to believe all of those lies.
