Oswald and the CIA

One of the best JFK-related books I have read is JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters, by James W. Douglass. Among other things, Mr. Douglass reveals the following in the book:

(1) Ruth Paine, Marina Oswald's landlady/hostess and caregiver in Dallas, got Lee his job at the Texas School Book Depository.

(2) Ruth Paine's sister, Sylvia Hyde Hoke, was a CIA employee.

(3) Ruth Paine's father, William Avery Hyde, was a high level executive who later become the AID Regional Insurance Adviser for all of Latin America and who may have been a CIA executive agent.

(4) Ruth Paine's stepfather-in-law, Arthur Young, was the inventor of the Bell helicopter.

(5) Ruth Paine's mother-in-law, Ruth Forbes Paine Young, was a lifelong friend of Mary Bancroft, who was a coworker and mistress of CIA Director Allen Dulles.

If you wish, you may dismiss these relationships as coincidental and/or irrelevant. To me they are strong suggestions that everything Lee Oswald did was known to the CIA and that they steered him to his ultimate fate as the JFK assassination patsy.
