Trouble is America in the 60's was anti Russian and anything to do with it. Kennedy being anti Russian himself would have given the goverment a reason why he killed Kennedy, propoganda Jambo.
Harvey Oswald never shot Kennedy anyway, CIA done it because of the cutbacks he was about to implement to their ranks.

Much more to it than that ollie, he fired allen dulles (head of CIA at time)
Lee harvey oswald was a russian defector, also a man who lived in dallas, among 2 other people he was supposed to be. Spotted in dallas and cuba photographed and appeared to be 2 different people.
He was basically an alias, an identity they created. He was never debriefed by the CIA on his return from russia after defecting to the russians, considering he was based at a u2 spy plane base (same one as gary powers) Then swopped sides, now swopped back, which he should of gone to prison for!!
His "charecter" was meant to be a marxist lenonist which made him fit into the pro castro angry lone nut theory.
