(15,512 posts)Disgruntled former CIA chief Allen Dulles, backed by a couple of Dallas oil boys, possibly assisted by disgruntled USAF General Curtis LeMay, with off-the-books inside help from the Secret Service and Dallas Police. Other agencies seem to have called off their watchdogs so to speak, including McCone's CIA and J Edgar Hoover's FBI, later LBJ's Justice department, but the operation appears to have been mainly coordinated by Dulles, who at that point was ex-CIA, having been fired by Kennedy in November 1961.
The other big player was Texas oil tycoon H. L. Hunt, not to be confused with CIA agent E. Howard Hunt, who was also a player. It also looks to me like Oswald had no direct connection and wouldn't have had an interest in the assassination if he'd known about it. Castro had no connection either, but crazy fox that he is, may have known it was coming, though he wouldn't have been able to do much about it.
That's how it appears to me at the moment.
