That's a joke, surely. You can't possibly be that ignorant of history.
Wow, it's so shocking that the organization that's in charge of espionage would not accidentally drop major incriminating evidence against themselves. Clearly this proves I'm wrong.
Wait a minute though, the CIA has records on the Kennedy assassination that have, to date, not been declassified, and they've somehow managed to avoid leaking them to the public. How many people are involved in maintaining that classified information? Are you really telling me that not one person has said something, or accidentally dropped those records directly in front of a journalist? Clearly, the only conclusion is that those classified documents don't actually exist. Or... maybe the CIA is capable of keeping secrets, you know, like, the thing that it's their job to do?
The moon landing conspiracy can easily be disproved scientifically through available evidence, it is not comparable.
No, the bullet was shown to have come from the same type of gun that he owned, not the specific one. The evidence is still circumstantial.
Regardless, this doesn't prove anything.
There's a lot more than one single mistake. If you actually look into the evidence, you'll see that.
My narrative is not a "very implausible event chain." You haven't established even a single link in that chain that would be "very implausible."
