A well-known magazine has a feature this month on who killed JFK. Says the mob did it. Gives strong evidence why.

I agree; have thought that for years. It's about all that really makes much sense. I think that Oswald was just set up, as a distraction. Jack Ruby was among various real clues.

What's your view on this? Or, are you just tired of all the theories?

I have it on high authority from a well placed source in an unnamed political party that Bush (43) did it. :eek:

I wonder how much money has been made on conspiricy theories? :D

There is convincing evidence that the mob did it. There is a compelling case to be made that the CIA had him killed, with Lyin' B. Johnson's complicity. One of my favorite theories is that Fidel Castro had it done in retaliation for all the CIA attempts on Castro's life. (Remember the exploding cigars?)

Thing is, every one of these theories, no matter how plausible, can be countered with explanations discounting the theories that are just as plausible.

Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, killed him with a head shot from the Texas Schoolbook Depository with a surplus Italian Carcano, bought from Klein's in Chicago, and later killed Officer J. D. Tippit with a S&W Victory Model as the Officer walked around his police cruiser to confront Oswald.

Occam's Razor.
 
Personaly I always thought the mob bummped him off. Oswald set up as a patsy. Ruby had to bump oswald off to silence him as to who set him up. Young turks in the cia might have also been involved. There was just too much off the wall explainations, cover ups and killings involved to belive. Might have been cia pressured the mob that was already peed off and furnished them oswald a nut they probley controlled. The mob was really peed off at bobby, plus jacks playing around with judith exleter (sp wrong!) was either a plant or a victim. Hell this could have even started with the old mans playing around 20 years before that! The cubans were also betrayed and peed off from the bay of pigs. Young turks gets my best vote. Also remember the old man used the mob to buy union votes and bum votes in chicago to get jack in office and then bobby made the mob a vendetta. The thing is 3/4 of the world is young and dont remember, were educated in it all, or care about it and it gets buried with time. We are more interested in lady ga ga etc. Cant let it lets us forget to turn on dancing with the stars etc.

What I know is this: the assassination of Jack Kennedy, followed by Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, began the long slide into darkness on which we are still. While it is certain that elements within the CIA were furious with Jack Kennedy for pulling the air cover for the Bay of Pigs operation (don't ask me how I know that), that Sam Giancana and others in the Mob were furious with him for ending their sweet deal in Cuba, and that Castro had enough justification for a reprisal, none of these speculations has stood the test of time because of the simple fact that large organizations leak like sieves. Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, gets my vote. But again, it matters not. The fact that so many of us are willing to even entertain the idea of a massive cover-up of the murder of a President should tell us what we really need to know -- big institutions in this country are not trusted, and the corrosion continues day by day.

The mob connection is the most fun IMHO. Ruby dined at Campisi's Egyptian Restaurant(the original on Mockingbird) the night before he shot Osward. The Campisi family ties to the mob, and the fact that Mafia big shots and famous hit men dined there often, is well know around Dallas.

Folks, this one will never die. It's like the Energizer Bunny ain't it.;)

JFK

There's been much conjecture but absolutely no evidence (proof) that contradicts the official and factual version of the incident.
 
I agree. I think Oswald was set up. This is why I think the Mob did it....

Mob was making money in Cuba. Castro came in and kicked the Mob out of Cuba. Kennedy was to help remove Castro. My feeling is the Mob was ok with that. As we know, Castro was able to hold off the uprising from the Cuban rebels. Air support the Rebels thought they would receive from the US never showed up. (Bay Of Pigs) Kennedy was blamed for this communication break down. Rebels were sitting ducks. The Mob blamed Kennedy and put a contract out on him. The rest is history.
 
If you want to disregard the Warren Commission, you have to assume (A) Earl Warren put one over on J. Edgar Hoover; or, (B) J. Edgar Hoover put one over on Earl Warren.

Even in light of the above, I hold that Oswald was shooting at Connelly and missed.

FWIW -

Mob / CIA Often same outfit :)
LBJ = Brown & Root = Dredging Cameron (sp?) Bay in Vietnam = Halliburton. Brown goes back years and years before LBJ 'stepped into the line.' Started building a dam in TX, IIRC. Root 'joined up' a little later. :)

Many believe that Kennedy wanted to abolish the Federal Reserve. Many others believe the Federal Reserve was the 'finger that started the pebble that produced the avalanche' that smothered things in Dallas. It defiintely sponsored and still sponsors what some would call 'illicit gimmickry' re: who controls what in more places than the USA.

Get a chance - read the Book 'Secrets of the Federal Reserve.' by Eustace Mullins. After getting over the sick feeling it produces, it becomes enlightening. (I see his nephew is selling it now -- on eBay of all places!) Most of it is well-documented IIRC.

(Some, of course, will call the book invented propaganda and go back to watching the Olberman-Maddow circus to see if Matthews' leg can regain its 'tingle.')
 
nicky4968,

I was told by a teacher in the 5th grade that then Governor Connally had angered almost all of the Texas school teachers because he had promised them big dividends to get elected and then backed out.

Several months later we have a sniper shooting from the "Texas School Book Depository" and misses Connally and screws up and kills JFK.

At least that's MY conspiracy theory and I think it has as much relevance and evidence as all the others.
 
I thought it was official-
Marilyn did it in retaliation for killing her the year before......

I'm not tired of all the theories, but I can see the holes in them better than I used to.

Several years ago a guy named David Lifton wrote a conspiracy assassination book called Best Evidence. I don't know why I read it, but the mix of selective evidence (sometimes misrepresented) and preposterous suggestions (which he considered logical conclusions) so angered me that I got serious about researching the assassination and put a lot of time in on it. At the end of the day I concluded that the Warren Commission, even with its faults and demonstrable errors, had come up with the right answer: Lee Oswald, acting alone.

Die-hard conspiracy buffs probably hate it, but I think the best book on the Kennedy assassination is Vincent Bugliosi's Reclaiming History. Love him or hate him, you can't deny he brings an experienced prosecutor's eye to the volumes of evidence available in this case.
