[24]There was no real evidence linking Lee Harvey Oswald to the assassination of Kennedy. Oswald was, in fact, connected with both the FBI and the CIA and was a “sleeper” (inactive agent) being groomed for an attempt on the life of Cuba’s Fidel Castro. Oswald’s background as a defector to the Soviet Union (and his marriage to the daughter of a leader in the Soviet security apparatus) would have cast suspicion on the Soviets and led Cuba to sever relations with that country. The unknown conspirators of the Kennedy assassination were obviously aware of this plan, and by setting Oswald up as “scapegoat,” they provided a perfect cover for their gunmen. U.S. investigatory agencies were obliged to stumble over themselves and cover up details of the murder in Dallas to protect themselves and their own plan against Castro.

[28]Theoretically, when a star burns out, it collapses inwardly upon itself, its matter becoming so dense and its gravity so intense that not even light can escape from it. A dead star can be compressed into something as small as an egg and would resemble a black hole in space.
