Who Killed Kennedy (JFK)? What say you?

[Iron Mego]

I wonder if this was the show I watched. Some of it looks familiar.

[Iron Mego]

Actually, no this isn't it. There were more recreations and experiments in the one I watched.

Woody from Cheers did it.

No Sir. Everyone in Canada knows the truth... John Diefenbaker is responsible.

Used to believe in conspiracy, but now firmly believe Oswald did it alone.

There's a great dialogue in Mark Walberg's Shooter movie where they consult an old retired military sniper. He tells them how the government ties up loose ends so nobody talks, that's how the conspiracy works. The shooters from Dallas were in graves in the desert less than 2 hours after the assassination. The government agent says, "And you have proof of this?". And he says "I still have the shovel." Loved that movie from the first day I saw it and probably have seen it 25 times since. Watch it every time it's on.

You're in luck! Shooter is on AMC right now!

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that Oswald was able to pull the shots off himself. I also think it's possible there were others involved.

The oddity in it for me is what Jack Ruby did. He was a somewhat shady character himself, but why would he march into a police station and shoot Oswald knowing he would get caught? That isn't the act of a potential criminal wanting to right a wrong(president being shot), that's something that someone does because they don't have a choice(blackmail, threats to his life or families life or a cash deal).

Exactly. Ruby had ties to the mob and there's no doubt he was acting on the directive of someone to take Oswald out. You don't shoot a man for nothing.

Double post. sorry.

After seeing recent documents and I always felt there was a gunshot recorded with the police microphone that sounded closer then the 2nd floor observatory and the claim by a train track worker to see a gunman behind the fence and saw smoke from around where I think the second shot came from. They tried an experiment and they saw a gun and smoke . This guy died in a mysterious car accident which some witness claim a second car was involved. Ruled a one car accident. Also because the drs at the Texas hospital couldn't do the autopsy because the CIA took the body quickly and under armed .the car was cleaned fast to destroyed any evidence. The dr at Texas said he believes there was an entrance wound in the front of his neck . Any witness who said something different to the warren commission then thier version died within two years of the assanation .i believe a us government and mafia together in the murder .

I think crazy people will shoot people for nothing, but a guy with mob relations, that owned three night clubs etc... doesn't do it in the police station with the police watching. Weird...

[jwyblejr]

Why not? One of the most popular Presidents was just shot. I'm sure most people wouldn't be thinking too rationally at the time either.

I recall seeing a pretty good docu. about the Warren Commission hosted by Bill Curtis,(?), on A&E and intern who served under the bigwigs said the commission rushed to conclude Oswald acted alone. They weren't interested in any other leads or theories. Seems like they're minds were made up going into it.

Ever seen the footage of LBJ being sworn in on the plane right after the assassination? He wasn't broken up one bit. He winked at his wife after the swearing in. It was probably a foregone conclusion. A mere formality.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis has a biography under wraps that she prepared before her death. It is not to be published until after the last of her children pass away or by a certain date still far in the future. I'm betting when that gets released it will blow the doors off the whole mystery.

IMO, there was no way Oswald could pull the thing off alone. I believe that there were many more people with more resources than Oswald ,who had more motives to have Kennedy killed.

Many of you have mentioned them here. It's a fact that the CIA had worked with the mob to have Castro assassinated. Coincidently Kennedy was assassinated under the exact plans that they had for Castro. Both the CIA and mob were still steaming from Bay of Pigs fiasco.

The war mangers wanted to have the war, Kennedy wanted out of Nam. LBJ wanted to be president, and knew he was going to be dropped from the 64 ticket. Tell me he didn't have a motive. He to me just seems slimy enough to do about anything to be the man.
In one documentary, there is photos of the car LBJ was in just prior to the shots going off. Coincidently , he a very tall man, cannot be seen next to his wife Ladybird I the vehicle. Was he ducking down in advance for fear of a double cross?

To me, the Kennedy assassination is one of the most fascinating crimes in American history. There was many things covered up, and that has to make you ask why? Another anomaly was that within hours of Oswald being caught it was reported by the FBI and J Edgar Hoover that Oswald acted alone. How can any one make that assessment that early into an investigation? It would be impossible unless there were credible witnesses that can identify Oswald as the shooter with certainty . There were no such witnesses.

The sad truth is that we will probably never get the truth as we now come a half century later. Many of those involved, or might know something have passed on.

It's a very complex case with many possible theories but I have always kind of believed
that this guy did it.
