Who Killed JFK?

JFK in San Antonio, Texas on November 21, 1963.

It was too easy for ANYONE to have shot him.

I remember my Mother, who was working downtown that day, snapping a black and white photo of JFK as well. I was only about 10 or so and I remember thinking, "That doesn't appear to be a good idea having the President ride around in a car like that." I have read the Secret Service didn't like the idea either. And that others in his "entourage" or cabinet did not want him going to Dallas for sure because of the strong right-wing people there.

What is interesting, and telling of how far our society has slipped, is that there was never any report of any kind of negative attitudes towards JFK as he rode that open car in either city...until he was shot. EVERYONE was respectful. That is no longer possible today for any President of any political leanings.

I used to follow the conspiracy theories closely. As time has gone by and more light has been shed on the known facts, I think they point to a specific individual: Lee Harvey Oswald.
Also, a word about J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover's history has been extensively re-written by leftists since his death. There is not one shred of evidence to support the nonsensical stories about cross dressing, homosexuality, and mob ties. Hoover was a man utterly dedicated to protecting his country against enemies foriegn and domestic. He sometimes overstepped his bounds in his determination to do so.

My great Uncle was in the FBI and we were told that Hoover used to always ask to borrow his floral corset and silk garters...Uncle Sal said he never minded lending him a cocktail dress or evening gown...but not undergarments.
 
I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself

Thats very profound. I dont understand a word of what you said. Want to ratchet that down to a level I might understand?
 
It's lyrics from "Sympathy for the Devil," by the The Rolling Stones. One of the next lines, as I recall, goes, "Use all your well-learned politics, or I'll lay your soul to waste."

I think wheelgun28 is saying, "the Devil did it."


Bullseye
 
Thanks. The rolling stones? I dont want to burn up my brain to be able to understand that stuff. I will just remain a uncool dork. Thanks.
 
Reclaiming History

...of the winter of 2007-2008 reading a very lengthy tome written by Vincent Bugliosi - Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy (2007).

As of today, it's the most lengthy, well-detailed explanation of the death of President Kennedy. It debunks, and otherwise puts to rest, every other theory and conspiracy surrounding the assassination of Kennedy.

Every other theory requires either a suspension of reality, or literal belief in conspiracies behind every shrub.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a loser/loner, who couldn't have been trusted to put out the trash, let alone keep his share of a conspiracy quiet.

Jack Ruby, was a wannabe, never quite fitting in with any one group. He knew people on both sides of the legal line, but could never have been in the Chicago mob, mainly because of his big mouth.

Oswald was the lone assassin, using a relatively accurate rifle, from of distance of less than 75 yards. He got off three shots, the third being a fatal. He is also likely the same person who attempted to assassinate retired General Edwin Walker, who was forced to retire from the U.S. Army after distributing literature to troops under his command in West Germany.

Yep, required reading (all 1500 pgs) if you really want to be informed.

A well-known magazine has a feature this month on who killed JFK. Says the mob did it.
What's your view on this? Or, are you just tired of all the theories?

Yeah, the mob did it...or Castro did it as retaliation for the bay of Pigs.... or Lyndon Johnson did it because he had cancer and wanted to be president before he died.... or the CIA did it because they were using the Viet Nam war to smuggle heroin and JFK planned to get us out of the war.... or the Russians did it because JFK humiliated them over Cuban missiles.

It's all a load of baloney. The mob thing is BS: If they had gone after anybody it would have been Robert Kennedy who was after them.
 
While we have had Presidents die before, the cover up and wait for the Warren Commission's report, then subsequent re-release with still most of it hidden was the real end for much of our generation trust in Government. The fact that in the start of the information age, we could neither know or be trusted with the truth was the real start of rebellion against Government, IMO.
The magic bullet theory has made little sense to me as a hunter.
 
Tantalizing as it may be to reveal, once and for all, the real truth of the matter, I'm afraid that no statute of limitations applies to those of us who actually know what really happened, and so, to protect ourselves from the inevitable retribution were we to do so, I have nothing further to say about the matter.

Redlevel summed it up nicely --- Occam's Razor explains the known and undisputed facts in a satisfactory manner.

However, it has always troubled me that multiple shots could be fired as accurately as they were, at the ranges involved, with a POS war surplus junker that you could then buy, still greasy with Cosmoline, for about $4.00 at the Newberry's on Main St., and ammo for another couple bucks... Hmmm....???
 
Not only did Oswald, acting alone, kill Kennedy, he also murdered Officer J.D. Tippet, a veteran of WW2 who earned a Bronze Star with the 513th P.I.R.
 
I used to doubt that the shot was plausable with the weapon used. Now I own a Carcano carbine, and believe the weapon was quite capable of firing quickly and accurately at the range the shooting took place. My Carcano is one of the slickest handling bolt rifles I have ever fired.
However, I simply do not believe the story as presented.
 
What was it, three shots in four seconds at basically a straight-away, 15 mph, 6" diameter target less than 100 yards away?

Not exactly easy, but not that hard, either.

I have to admit, it is genuinely amazing he could fire that accurately with a Manlicher gun which was once nicknamed the Gun Who Never Hurt Anybody On Purpose. It is amazing, but possible. I might be persuaded that Oswald had an accomplice ahead of the cars who also fired a shot, which does not reduce Oswald's guilt.

I recall they re enacted it with an identical gun and a couple of the guys who tried it did do it, a couple who tried didn't. It's possible.
 
This all happened 10 years before the Nixon fiasco exposed exactly how many "spooks" (not all CIA types) were involved in "policy shenanigans." The mob and the CIA were never "one and the same" as an early post alluded to. The CIA contracted out much wet work to them through "intermediaries." Whomever was behind JFK getting "reassigned" is dead and so much time has passed, it don't matter. We'd still be where we are even if he lived. Joe
 
Time has shown that careful selection of "facts" presented to prove whichever theory is on display, at the moment, can provide a convincing argument against just about anyone from the mob, the CIA, LBJ, the Pope, to just about anyone else that was alive in 1963.
