Who Killed JFK?

What passes for the truth and history in this world is nothing more than a convenient story. It reads well and seems to make sense out of all the chaos.

Oswald wasn't an innocent bystander, beyond that I have no clue.

I met and came to know an eccentric fellow years ago. He appeared to be a nutty caretaker on a large farm. He had a beautiful young French wife who spoke little English. He held regular poker games with flag officers in the Military and old political power brokers. It seemed odd this fellow would know these folks, let alone socialize with them.

Turns out this fellow headed the assassination of Patton . (and he owned that huge farm not far from DC)

History didn't happen like it was written in your school books.
 
I saw a special, maybe on Discovery(?) that scientifically debunked all the alleged "flaws" in the official report. The shooting, the fleeing from the school book depository. All that.
So it WAS plausible. Possible/probable.......we may never know.

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.

Not all of it.

An ex-OSS/CIA agent once told me that "If you want a more factual rendering of US History, read it in a foreign book." :)

We all seem to filter the unknown (incl 'conspiracies') through the sieve of our own attitudes (.... and wishes and limitations.)

That's probably why it's easier to contribute to a cause promising to defend us, instead of particpating in it actively. It's like the people who send money to a bake sale because they don't want to take the time to send something they baked themselves. (( And they'll probably be the first to criticize how the sale was run and how the cookies taste :( ))

I can remember when it was "JFK was killed by 'Texas Oil Millionares' because he wanted to do away with the oil depletion allowance."
Unfortunately the Kennedy Assasination is like the Theory of Evolution. People can come up with all sorts of plausible and logical explanations but there is so little hard evidence that people accept an explanation as incontrovertible proof. I reject the "Magic Bullet" notion based on my experience as a shooter but I acknowledge I don't any explanations of my own.
 
Only my believe - ex-CIA, friend of Nixon, ex-Watergate burglar was in Dallas before the shooting and left immediately after the shooting = G. Gordon Liddy, the shooter that hit his mark.
 
I'm sure that many of the CIA Agents involved in the invasion of Cuba at Bahía de Cochinos, especially the ones who had been in the club since their OSS days didn't mind a two bit politician jerking CAP Air from the B-26s that doomed the invasion and causing the death of several Americans and Cuban Exiles. I'm sure the old time agents didn't mind that and just picked up their toys and went home to momma and held no grudges.........

I spent most...

...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.
 
Conspiracy theories are just that theories. The only one ever placed near the spot they can identify is Oswald a disgruntled marine who tried to kill General Walker not to long before that. Once he did it he ran into Officer Tippet and killed him too. Done deal.

Nixon who was a master politician had Watergate unravel in 2 weeks how long do you think any politician, agent or anyone keep a secret not very long one theory in Stones movie is all the killers were gay was it the gay mafia that kileed him? They didn't like Jackie's hat or what.

Oswald was a 24 year old loser who wanted to be famous and now he is.
 
Fact is, even if the truth were revealed about the JFK assassination, no one would believe it because there is just too much conspiracy garbage out there that no one could tell the difference.
Most of the people who would've been involved are dead or will take the secret with them to their long dirt nap. I'm really not sure I'd want to know the truth and where it might lead. Somethings are just best left to God.
The truth will probably never be known.
 
Going along with the Warren Commission's findings is kind of the "thing to do", I guess. The only wrench in those works are the findings of the second commission that investigated Jack Kennedy's assassination 15 years after:
"The United States House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was established in 1976 to investigate the John F. Kennedy assassination and the Martin Luther King, Jr. assassination and the shooting of Governor George Wallace. The Committee investigated until 1978, and in 1979 issued its final report, concluding that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, was very likely a result of a conspiracy." So, they concluded that Oswald did do it, but he wasn't alone! No one really talks about this second commission anymore.
 
I don't know who fired the fatal round; however, whoever it was, I seriously doubt that it was Lee Harvey. I personally think there was more than one shooter involved. Whatever happened it involved a massive government cover up post-shooting.
