President Kennedy was killed in self-defence by Fidel Castro

President Kennedy wasn't murdered by Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was acting as a hired Cuban agent, whose job was to end Kennedy's program of CIA assassination attempts against the life of Cuban leader Fidel Castro. It was a perfectly justified homicide, clear self-defence, and it achieved its objective. Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't a "violent punk". Lee Harvey Oswald was a martyr and hero of World Communism and the Cuban Revolution. 1. In September 1963, Fidel Castro did an interview with the Associated Press, in which he said that since President Kennedy was trying to assassinate him, he had the right to assassinate Kennedy. The interview had a very wide circulation, including in New Orleans newspapers, which were read by Lee Harvey Oswald. Apparently, this report was perceived by Oswald as a "help wanted" ad. 2. In October 1963 Oswald travelled to Mexico and visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies there. The Russians acknowledge he met with a senior KGB operative who was responsible for "wet work" -- assassinations -- in Latin America. He then spent some time at the Cuban embassy. Some Cuban staffers there said his activities were routine, involving an interest in moving to Cuba. Other independant witnesses indicate he had an affair with a young Mexican communist woman working there, attended parties with Cuban intelligence agents interested in killing President Kennedy, and was paid 6,500 American dollars to assassinate Kennedy. 3. In November 1963, Oswald assassinated President Kennedy. 4. The Warren Commission charged with investigating the assassination made no serious effort to investigate any Cuban involvement in the assassination. Possibly, they felt they'd had enough of conflicts with Cuba, following the Bay of Pigs, and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The fact is, the CIA simply couldn't allow this to get out. They had been outplayed and outmaneuvered at their own game, by a tin-pot communist dictator of a banana republic. It would have been the end of the CIA, permanently. So, they had the Nicaraguan undercover agent who witnessed the 6,500 dollar payment to Oswald threatened with torture by the Mexican government, prior to his speaking to the Warren Commission. Problem solved. But, let's all give Fidel Castro a little credit here! What a great lawyer he really was!
