There was definitely a conspiracy and Oswald was the patsy.

I like the discussion of the assassination in this article, a little too long to copy and paste, but do check it out:

I once saw a long tv-documentary on it. They came up wth so many things
that were fishy for the "Oswald the lone gunner" theory, yet in the end
they came to the conclusion it was him and him alone. I found that
somewhat strange.
Something that was very significant was that many people who had been
witnesses to one thing or the other died a sudden and unnatural death.
On the whole I agree about conspiration theories in the USA. it is
incredible what one can find when looking for 9/11 and conspiracy. Some
even "prove" there had not been any airplanes at all that crashed into
the towers!!!

did not read all the posts in this thread but;
clearly a republican attempt at ousting the democrats , and the shooter getting shot is the best proof that the man was not alone in this thing.
As for LBJ, he was tough on civil rights and escalated Vietnam war! Not that great of an internal records. Some 500 internal deaths including those burned on cross and "strange fruits" during his tenure and some countless deaths on the international front. Gotta be a good President!!

On questions like this, my gut instinct is to go with the most implausible explanation. Oswald was a lone gunman.

Maybe there will be a deathbed confession. There are a number of
'possibilities' but it all becomes conjecture until a substantial
witness comes forward.
The whistleblower in the watergate scandal took over 30 years to tell
his story to the public, but that wasn't about assassination and he is
considered a hero by many for doing it. Whoever knows about JFK, if
there has been a cover up, is either; in their grave, or gravely silent
for good reason.
Given JFKs sexual exploits, check out which powerful figures at the
time had wifes who could have been caught out with him.(they'd have to
be 'available' and JFKs taste) If he did it to a number of power
brokers with connections to one another, (inside and outside politics -
Mafia etc) who knows. Jealousy and revenge are powerful provocateurs
that even a president is not immune from.
There wasn't any doubt as to who pulled the trigger in his brothers assassination, though.
Would Robert have made a better President than JFK? His assassination impacted on me more than JFKs for some reason. I
felt he was a true humanitarian, a gentle man, an honest person and
wise for his age.
By the way, does the US have more conspiracy theories floating around
than any other country on the planet, or am I actually Martha Gardner.

There are theories Johnson was involved.
Who knows? I think this thing has been beaten to death myself. I doubt very seriously that a 24 year old Oswold had the means and brains to do this alone if he was guilty at all. There was somone else at least but I doubt we will ever know. To many documents gone, too many witnesses dead.

Slightly different to the 9/11 thread as "commonsense" dictates that it is unlikely that Oswald acted alone.
Other than that,everything that could be said about this subject has been said,

I was curious to see how many of you believed in the "lone gunman" theory (i.e., that Oswald acted entirely alone), and how many believed that there was, in fact, a conspiracy involving some combination of U.S.-based anti-Castro Cubans, organized crime, and/or U.S. government personnel.
I welcome, indeed, encourage, lengthy pontification on the subject, if you are so inclined.
Peace.
