Sean, I love you man- but that’s not how patsies work. They didn’t pay Oswald to be the jfk patsy. Money isn’t a powerful enough motivator for this type of thing. Usually what they do is get leverage via blackmail or other threat or coercion, or sometimes promises- maybe membership into a club or group. Then they give them a part of the picture with a role that requires them to go somewhere or do something. The patsy doesn’t know they are setting themselves up until the shot. Along the way- if you either had blackmail on them in the beginning - like maybe they were looking at videos of children for example- or if they committed crimes in their role in the larger plot, you seriously fuck up their ability to just prove their innocence in a court of law- because it requires you to explain how you were looking at videos of kids or admitting to the crimes you did commit just to attempt to tell the truth. Then there’s the mkultra angle but that’s more a grey area of speculation. So we’ll skip that. The point is- it’s complicated. Intelligence agencies have been practicing this for decades. But they’re not perfect at it- and that’s why there’s all sorts of massive inconsistencies in the story and the details about Tyler, his roommate, and the murder in general. When a crazy 20 year old pulls off a sloppy murder- all the pieces line up- all the evidence is there. You get gunshot residue, the dogs can find the gun, the wound matches the caliber(not calibre), the timeline is obvious. We can track his device everywhere he carried it. This case has a whole basket of irregularities that scream intel agency. And they’re claiming a .30-06 stopped in a human neck. Which is insane. Here’s Rob on O’Neill of Seal team 6
