I fully believe Oswald was the lone gunman in Dealy Plaza on that day. But was he the only conspirator? I doubt it.
Do I have any proof? No. I don't have any proof that there are people at work across the street right now but I see lights on through my office window, I see cars arriving in their parking garage. I see cars leaving their parking garage. I see people leave in the morning when I leave. I make the assumption that they are working. There is a lack of evidence of their working but a strong conclusion could be drawn that they are in fact, working right now (which is what I should be doing instead of posting this comment I suppose).
Anyway, we are told the following about Oswald's motives from the Warren Commission Report:
He sought for himself a place in history--a role as the "great man" who would be recognized as having been in advance of his times. His commitment to Marxism and communism appears to have been another important factor in his motivation.
Chapter 7
It seems to me that if the "lone nut" theory was valid, we would have lone nuts constantly sniping at the famous, powerful, successful, to get their place in history. While Presidents enjoy what is perhaps, the most advanced protection apparatus ever fielded, certainly the same could not be said for governors, other members of the federal government, and other dignitaries. Further much less security is provided for others who are powerful (the heads of corporations that could be described as "evil" by a lone nut), those who are the leaders of movements (political or otherwise) and those who are famous (celebrities, authors, personalities).
We have more lonely people than ever as a result of technology that focuses your attention on your phone or screen. And we have more weaponry than ever before as well. It would seem as though the conditions for a lone nut have been perfect for some time now. That we have had very few armed slayings of the famous, powerful, or successful seems to be antithetical to the lone nut theory.
