Finally, it should be observed, that on the Commission's
constrution of the kind of person Oswald was, his actions seem
to make no sense. Indeed, where he has acted, one should have
8
expected inaction. Why did Oswald, if he was a pro Marxist
and leftist loner go out of his way to associate with left-wing
groups before killing the President? He had associations with
the Communist Party, Fair Play for Cuba, Socialist Labor Party,
American Civil Liberties Union, and a person (Michael Paine)
with some associations with the Socialist Workers Party .
His family also lived with a Quaker. If he had any sympathy
toward the left, he was doing it no favor by openly associating
himself with such groups, before murdering the President. Such
action would have been incredible- the exact opposite would be
expected. The only reasonable interpreation is that Oswald
wittingly or unwittingly was setting up the left for some agency
which had predesignated him as the lone patsy in the Kennedy
killing.
Whereever we should expect action to solve the mystery of
the President's murder, we find inaction. And where we should
expect inaction, we find action. In noting this pattern, it is
significant to keep in mind the fact that, according to the
New York Times, -November 27, 1963: "Dallas authorities announced
that they were turning over all evidence to the Federal Bureau
of Investigation. This means that there was a lack of action,
where thene should have beén action to solve the assassination,
and that this inaction was at the federal level. The federall
authorities assumed a monopoly over the evidence.
