The thing I can't get about conspiracies is that they make them so complicated that they fall over due to the silliness. If I was going for one then I'd go with simple.

Look at it this way. LHO was the gunman, but he was hired by unknown forces. He fired the shots and acted as a solo sniper. You can still have your conspiracy but you don't have to add in all additional shotters, hitmen, mob bosses, film alteration and everyone being in on it to actually create the theory.

Same with 9/11. Why have to have explosives and missiles and holographic planes when you can claim that the CIA worked undercover to put together a group of Fanatics who they then allowed into the US and removed the impediments to their conduiting the hijack and crash missions.

The trouble always seems that the CT's seem to think that the way something happened was the was it was planned to happen. The fatal shot on Kennedy was a head shoot and therefore the shooter -MUST- have been aiming for the head. The Tippet was killed because that WAS part of the plan. That LHO went to a Theatre becaue he was instructed to go there. The WTC towers fell and therefore the plan -MUST- have been for them to come down. They never actually consider that the result was not fully planned from the start, but rather it occured as a result of chance or luck. The idea that the shooter might have fired high, that he paniked into killing a cop that stopped him, that he decided to hide out in a dark place till the heat died down a little, that the Towers simply couldn't handle an intense fire after the fireproofing had been shredded and the structure of both exterior and core had been compromised. These ideas just simply won't register to the CT because they are too simple and therefore MUST be part of the Conspiracy itself.
