I continue to be amazed at how humans seem to see conspiracy behind every event despite the evidence in front of them. It is a truly amazing psychological question, in my mind. In fact, I'm wondering if it's the result of alien intervention. Or those darned black helicopters.

It's probably due to an adverse effect of Murphy's Law on Occam's Razor.

I used to have an incredible research library of over 50 volumes on the Kennedy assassination, including the House Select Committee on Assassination Report (1978) in 12 or 13 volumes. (Sorry, can't remember exactly.)
The HSCA came to the conclusion that it was probable that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, and that another (unnamed) shooter was involved.
When more than one person is involved and not acting alone, that fits the definition of a conspiracy.
Jack Ruby, who shot Oswald on live TV, denied having ties to organized crime, but a number of books have refuted his words.
Was there a "renegade" arm of the CIA involved? Or just one demented individual making a political statement? Two or more individuals?

May have been Castro's retaliation.
