didn't support Hoover's official public conclusion nor could it at that point in the investigation.
It has been clear for some time that Hoover like other officials of that day was afraid that if the public came to believe that conspiracy was possible there would be riots and other dire public consequences. At that time he was on record as viewing the Civil Rights movement as capable of fomenting riots and insurrection in their cause as well as being a communist supported front group.
Hoover had seen the labor riots, the veteran's riots, the miner's riots and strikes and seemed to feel that were a large enough section of the public sufficiently motivated by the idea that someone in power was responsible they could bring down government. Although I never trusted him I have to say he was likely right about that last observation.
My opinion, for what it is worth, is that whatever Oswald did actually do he was neither alone nor unexpected. He either had assistance directly or was duped, and that the setting for the parade was staged to allow his success, or that of someone else acting in the same capacity. I do not know who arranged these events nor if Oswald was a knowing participant.
I don't know if anyone else was on the grassy knoll or in another building but the idea that only one shooter did this is ridiculous on the face of it. It was certainly clear during The House Assassinations Committee hearings that more went on than could be explained by Hoover's hypothesis.
I do not presume to know who arranged it all. One can speculate on Cui bono and on various contentions about which elements of the Right Wing, the MIC, or the Oil industry may have colluded to bring about regime change, or to stop what they feared was capitulation to the USSR.
