Apropos of Nothing I Particularly Care to Specify

A non sequitur fallacy:

"There is no innocent explanation Event for A. Therefore, the guilty explanation is whatever the hell I happen to want it to be for purposes of proving Claim X."

You're right of course, but I'm guessing your comment was prompted by Jacob Hornberger's recent articles about the CIA involvement in the JFK assassination. Even if it doesn't prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, it certainly makes it more likely, even though that falls short of what I think Jacob is claiming.
