Is this even really "conspiracy-theorist" territory? Does anybody who knows what the Warren Commission was seriously believe that Oswald acted alone? I mean, sure, to theorise otherwise is to theorise a conspiracy of sorts, but it's hardly the same thing as thinking there are aliens in Area 51. I thought every educated person took it pretty much as fact that JFK was killed by some sort of monied or political interest, most likely either Texan politicians or some rogue element of the CIA.

Yes, the Kennedy Assassination is very much "conspiracy-theorist" territory. The report released by the Warren Commission is the most complete version of events from the Kennedy Assassination. For all its faults, there has yet to be an alternative hypothesis that can reasonably explain the day's events as well as the lone gunman theory. We can accurately recreate the entire assassination from the Book Depository. Covering up any kind of conspiracy would take a large number of people and we have not had any leaks to suggest involvement from the mafia, CIA or monied political interests.

As far as the Kennedy assassination is concerned, you will probably find more evidence to support a conspiracy theory about conspiracy theories about the Kennedy assassination. The Mitrokhin Archive documents attempts by the KGB in creating and supporting conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination in the United States and Western Europe. Mitrokhin claims the operations were an attempt to discredit the CIA and FBI to make it harder for them to work. The information is not very credible but it has more to support it than the idea of a CIA sponsored assassination against the American president.
