The Kennedy assassination was part of Lyndon Johnson’s coup d’état to take over the government.

For years I was open to some conspiracy theories with regard to Kennedy. I wasn’t a zealot, but, just had reason to believe that Oswald could not have pulled it off alone. However, after all the years and revelations, it now seems pretty clear the LHO was a lone gunman and did the deed.

-Oswald above all else was an attention wh@re. All of his prior hi-jinks (defecting to Russia, returning, attempting to kill General Walker, instigating for Cuba in N.O. and then finally killing JFK) were all attempts by he for attention. Most of them blew-up in his face. He never received notoriety in Russia for his defection (KGB just thought he was a little weird guy but nothing else and he had do good info to provide unlike what he personally thought) and then upon his return there were no throngs of reporters to greet him. He was upset that his attempt at Walker got him no attention either as their turned out to be no good witnesses to what he did. His final big con finally did the trick though.

-The shot itself wasn’t all that terribly hard. I’m still intrigued with the number of shots reported to have occurred in such a short period of time but the shot was make-able. The “Magic Bullet” hasn’t turned out to be so magic after all and later studies and recreations, using the seating configuration that the POTUS car was using on the day indicates that the bullet that wound up in the Governor went exactly where it should have.

One thing I still don’t understand that strange dog-leg deviation that the procession took through Dealey when it would have been so much easier to simply continue straight toward the interstate. It seems so completely dangerous and needless today. Not a sign of conspiracy in and of that but just weird in hindsight.

There are enough loose ends and far too many documents still being held back about the Kennedy assassination to reject all conspiracy theories as implausible. The "Oswald did it, acting alone" claim rests on shakier foundations than it may seem.

Bobby Kennedy and Richard Nixon both apparently believed that LBJ had Kennedy killed. Similarly, E. Howard Hunt, the former CIA agent and Watergate burglar, made a deathbed confession to his son that LBJ was at the center of a plot that relied on CIA officers and mob types, with Hunt having a peripheral role.

Notably, the two major official investigations -- the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations -- came to differing conclusions, with the later House Committee finding that Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy set up by Mafia bosses Carlos Marcello and Santo Trafficante.

Two bits of information that I learned through personal friendships also incline me to think that there was a conspiracy.

Although publicly denied by the CIA, I know for a fact that CIA officer David Atlee Phillips used the cover name "Maurice Bishop." That being so, there is reason to credit a witness who swore to the House Committee that he saw Phillips using that cover name and meeting with Oswald before the assassination.

Also, among at least some of Santo Trafficante's family relations who were not involved in organized crime, it was believed that he had something to do with the killing of Kennedy. As my source explained, when, in his early twenties, he flatly asked his parents if the rumors about "Uncle Santo" being involved were true, he was told yes, but to never ask about it again, and that among his wider family, to never refer to JFK or the Kennedys and to especially never mention Dallas.

Honestly, I can’t see any reason to think of Kennedy as
anything more than your typical tard. He did print about
5 mil. dollars backed by silver which really ticked the
FED off though. Just a meth addicted libbtard.

“LBJ weak opportunistic leech very similar to Obama”

I have heard a lot of adjectives applied to LBJ but weak was never one of them. He successfully bullied the entire Congress for four years.

Indeed. Weak he wasn’t, until the Viet Nam War sapped his strength and the Left turned on him and stabbed him in the back.

Poetic Justices, I’ve always said.

It was Jackie plugged both her two-timing husband and Connelly ‘cause she thought it was him set Marylyn up with the boys. Then she tried to cheese it over the trunk of the car, but the Secret Service nabbed her.

Not wanting to start a nationwide panic, authorities kept her heavily sedated and she was constantly monitored from then forward until Aristotle Onassis got hold of her as she reminded him of Maria Callas.

As they were then married it was feared all those years that her role as Camelot’s primary assassin and gatecrasher would be spilled. But she maintained her silence to the end.

I, for one, am sick and tired of this orgy of Kennedy crap slobbering all over two weeks before the anniversary of his death. He was a terrible president and was a terrible husband. Enough already . . . he was barely photogenic and screwed anything that didn’t move.

He was also addicted to methamphetamines. Check out the book "Dr Feelgood" for the story of St Jack's addiction.

He was a despicable human being and a lousy President and the hagiography which attaches to his life is pure bull.

Looking into anything about JFK, including his vaunted WWII record which should have resulted in a Courts Martial and which is not the kind of incompetence and dereliction of duty that we normally associate with “heroism”, shows a JFK different from your lefty hero worship indicates.

Reagan thought him a Marxist threat to America.

As it is, the election of JFK, which many think the depraved soul stole, meant the end of the United States, we never recovered and never will, his immigration policy to replace the American voters guaranteed that.

And JFK was a terrible commander of the only PT boat to get run over by an enemy destroyer in WWII.
**************************
Too damn bad nobody on that destroyer heard the crunch as they ran over his boat. How does and ENTIRE CREW fall asleep with nobody on watch?
