He bought his ticket; boarded the plane, and flew back to Paris with no interference. Transportation was not sealed off. The President of the United States had been murdered; the world leader had been shot down in the streets, and Oswald had not yet been established as a lone assassin, and transportation routes weren't blocked off! - Early Evidence of Conspiracy Abounds Now there has been much argument concerning the facts of the assassination) What is more significant than entering such argument at this late date is observation that at the time of the assassination and -shortly thereafter what officials knew or had excellent reason to know was not what they acted on. Thus, in keeping with the pattern we have sought to establish, as existing in official behavior, it can be shown there should have been specific action where consiracy was indicated. (Instead, there was inaction. Considerable early evidence which accumulated pointed to conspiracy. It is irrelevant whether subsequent discovery resolved errors in the original understanding of what transpired on that black Friday. All that is relevant is that there was_more than sufficient evidence of consiracy to require of an innocent federal government (definite reaction This is true with respect to eyewitness testimony, physical and medical evidence, and the facts surrounding the character and background of Oswald. 3 Kansas RIC -9- 9 .
