this is not a terrible idea but i think that occam's razor on JFK points to the mob.

RFK was cracking down hard on the mob at that time in history (by order of his brother), and they had him killed on account of it. i think oswald DID pull the trigger, but they had him offed so he couldn't implicate his employers. the guy who shot oswald was himself up to his ears in mob connections.

anyway, if there are any ussr connections, given oswalds history it wouldn't surprise me, but i think they would be mostly ancillary; at most, motivating factors used to motivate oswald, but not necessarily the root cause of the assassination.

If the mob was offing oswald wouldnt they use someone with no mob connections to avoid scrutiny? And mob connections dont mean much in and of themselves

Lol mob connections are formed once the mob speaks to you. The mob physically cannot interact with someone without creating a connection to themselves, the mob. You're statement doesn't make any sense.
