Oswald
It is said that Oswald found that JFK would pass the street just down the building in Dallas where he worked a day or two before November 22, 1963.
So, on November 21 or so, 1963, he asked his friend to give him a ride to Irving where Oswald's wife lived about 15 miles away from Dallas where he rent a room, since Oswald could not drive a car. Then Oswald fetched a rifle to his rent room. On November 22, Oswald brought it to his workshop, the Texas School Book Depository. Allegedly Oswald shot JFK to death with the rifle from the 6th floor of the building. He left three cartridges with the rifle on the floor. Oswald went down to the 2nd floor where he bought a bottle of Coke. He was spoken to by a female worker about the big incident which happened just a few minutes earlier. He was encountered by a policeman to be cleared by his boss. So, Oswald, without showing any feeling to anybody about the big incident of the JFK assassination that took place a few minutes before, left the TSBD building quickly. He returned to his rent room to get a handgun. He then allegedly shot a policeman on the street, running and hiding in a movie theater where he entered without buying a ticket. They called the police and Oswald was arrested there.
So, everybody should wonder whether it could be possible that there was such a foolish man in this world as would use his own rifle to shoot at a US President from his own workshop while never preparing a well-planned escape. So, you might believe that Oswald wanted to present himself as a kind of hero who shot JFK openly to the public. He might be crazy but wanted to be famous for any motivation. You might reckon so, but Oswald was not such a fool. He must have know that if he had shot at the US President, all the police, FBI, CIA, and other federal agencies all over the US would have chased him to arrest and execute him without doubt.
Oswald had bee stationed in a US Air Force base in Japan from 1957 to 1958. He had been in charge of a U2 spy plane handling. He learnt Russian. After returning to the US, he had traveled to the Soviet Union as a deserter of America. He had been allowed to work in the then largest industrial city of the USSR Minsk in 1959. He worked as a worker in a radio-assembly factory. Then he met a Russian girl to marry her. Soon after the marriage, Oswald decided to come back to the US. He was allowed to return and live as a US citizen again in 1962. But, Oswald took some actions as a pro-Castro activist in New Orleans. Then in October 1963 Oswald found a job in Dallas in the TSBD building through a connection with a neighbor in Irving where his wife and infant child lived. (http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/oswald.htm)
Oswald was a smart guy. He looked somehow trained as a spy. Oswald could not be a crazy guy who wanted to be famous by shooting JFK. Actually, he denied the allegation in an video-recoreded interview with the Media in a busy setting of the Dallas Police Department a day or two before Oswald was shot to death by Jack Ruby, a Mafia member who had reportedly had connection with Al Capone back in Chicago and even Richard Nixon. Oswald did not want to be identified as a shooter at JFK. It is a big difference from other shooters who shot at a US President, such as Ronald Reagan, ever in a situation where they knew they could not run away as they exposed themselves so openly. Oswald tried to run away in a sense, but circumstantially he must have known that it was impossible to completely escape arrest as he left so meany pieces of evidence including his own rifle in his workshop even if he had actually shot at JFK. Indeed it was impossible to run away successfully from all the police, FBI, CIA, and other federal agencies all over the US as even a primary school boy could understand.
So, Oswald could not be such a fool as would shoot JFK with his own rifle from his workshop without arranging a well-planned escape; even he did not want to be a kind of recognized hero who shot at JFK, though he might have been ordered to place and leave the three cartridges and the rifle in the 6th floor of the TSBD.
Then who did?
Marita Lorenz, the daughter of a German father and an American mother, was born in Bremen, Germany, on 18th August, 1939. Lorenz visited Cuba in February, 1959. Soon afterwards she began an affair with Fidel Castro and claims to have had his child. Later she was recruited by Frank Sturgis to work for the Central Intelligence Agency. In January 1960, Lorenz took part in a failed attempt to poison Castro.
Lorenz fled to the United States and joined the secret International Anti-Communist Brigade. I n 1961 met Marcos Pérez Jímenez, the former President of Venezuela. Later she gave birth to his daughter. In 1970, Lorenz married the manager of an apartment building near the United Nations. Soon afterwards the Federal Bureau of Investigation recruited her to spy on Soviet diplomats.
In November, 1977, Lorenz gave an interview to the New York Daily News in which she claimed that a group called Operation 40, that included Lee Harvey Oswald and Frank Sturgis, were involved in a conspiracy to kill both John F. Kennedy and Fidel Castro.
Lorenz also testified before the House Select Committee on Assassinations where she claimed that Sturgis had been one of the gunmen who fired on John F. Kennedy in Dallas. The committee dismissed her testimony, as they were unable to find any other evidence to support it.
In August, 1978, Victor Marchetti published an article about the assassination of John F. Kennedy in the liberty Lobby newspaper, Spotlight. In the article Marchetti argued that the House Special Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) had obtained a 1966 CIA memo that revealed E. Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis and Gerry Patrick Hemming had been involved in the plot to kill Kennedy. Marchetti's article also included a story that Lorenz had provided information on this plot. Later that month Joseph Trento and Jacquie Powers wrote a similar story for the Sunday News Journal.
The HSCA did not publish this CIA memo linking its agents to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Hunt now decided to take legal action against the Liberty Lobby and in December, 1981, he was awarded $650,000 in damages. Liberty Lobby appealed to the United States Court of Appeals. It was claimed that Hunt's attorney, Ellis Rubin, had offered a clearly erroneous instruction as to the law of defamation. The three-judge panel agreed and the case was retried. This time Mark Lane defended the Liberty Lobby against Hunt's action.
Lane eventually discovered Marchetti's sources. The main source was William Corson. It also emerged that Marchetti had also consulted James Angleton and Alan J. Weberman before publishing the article. As a result of obtaining of getting depositions from Lorenz, David Atlee Phillips, Richard Helms, G. Gordon Liddy and Stansfield Turner, plus a skillful cross-examination by Lane of E. Howard Hunt, the jury decided in January, 1995, that Marchetti had not been guilty of libel when he suggested that John F. Kennedy had been assassinated by people working for the CIA.
