M16, not the A1 version quite yet, right? Also, that model didn’t have the forward assist on it yet either, correct?

Like the M14 better... my personal favorite. Heavy, yes, but wood and metal are just wonderful together. Also love the M1 Garand; first rifle I ever learned how to shoot.

However... that being said... I saw a beautiful wood furniture set for the AR15, and it just transforms that firearm into something sweet...

THAT’S the furniture set I was talking about!!! Beauty!

Thank you brother! There’s a darker wood set too that I’ve seen. Just sweet.

So many theories I really don’t know. But wasn’t the CIA responsible for a number of assassinations of So. American leaders around that time? Until a law was passed that “we aren’t going to do that any more”.

I really don’t see JFK as having done anything that bad — unless of course you’re Mafia and then it is his brother that’s the big problem. Stone implies that Robert Kennedy was more the target — get JFK and you get rid of RFK as Atty General and put “friend” LBJ in power.

Still fascinating after all these years, isn’t it.

from the freemason website

Lyndon B. Johnson was initiated on October 30, 1937 in Johnson City Lodge No. 561, at Johnson City, Texas, but completed only the Entered Apprentice, or first, of the three Masonic degrees. For this reason, he is not included in the gallery(of freemason presidents)

“For you gun experts, Stone stated that Oswald’s rifle was NOT even Sighted. And yet he was able to pull off 3 shots in 6.? seconds — that was an eye-opener to me.”

Well if Stone said it has to be true /sarc

Assassination investigators had an Army specialist attempt to replicate Oswald’s 3 shots using Oswald’s rifle exactly as it was found in the Book Depository.

The specialist hit the moving target three times and did it more quickly than Oswald. It is not a difficult shot.

This is in the Warren Report, that thing that no one reads because they are too busy filling their little heads with juicy conspiracy stories that they take for gospel.

...........

As far as individual guns go, Of the original Armalite Hollywood prototypes, S/N 1 and 2 definitely had the top handle, but S/N 4 had the charging handle in the typical location.

S/N 1 was much more similar to the early AR-10's than any other AR15 ever built. S/N 4 is essentially the design that went into production.


S/N 1


S/N 1 is 2nd from top, S/N 4 is 3rd from top.

From what he says, it sounds like he intended the CIA simply to be an intelligence gathering and analysis agency, not an agency that engaged in espionage operations and tried to shape government policy.

Yes, and I believe the SS agent in question sued that author for defamation and won a payout, as the assertion couldn’t be supported by evidence.

I have read that several claims made in the book have been refuted, but there has been plenty of support for the main hypothesis that one of the wounds, at least, was caused by a .223/5.56 round.

Yes, I recall that the strongest evidence in the book was the wound ballistics discussion. The claim the SS agent accidentally fired the shot seemed much more speculative.

JFK, like Lincoln, wanted to end private banking financing the nation. The true global oligarchs are at the top of the food chain, the international banking powers.

I guess I was wrong about LBJ and Freemasons.

It is strange that Kennedy was killed in LBJ's state, and LBJ became president.

But using a secretive organization such as the CIA or the Freemasons would be a way to execute a conspiracy (if Kennedy's assassination was one of them).

Certainly, there are some strange tales of the Mafia and Kennedy at that time (Marilyn Monroe and the Mafia, and Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedy's, and the death of Marilyn Monroe).

And the year after Kennedy was shot, our coins had a copper-silver sandwich.

Ironically, the 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar was 99% silver (or 100%).

I have heard that Kennedy wanted to put the US back on the Gold Standard... I imagine he would have allowed the opening of Gold mines that had been closed during FDR. (Some of which were not that economical to re-open because of flooding).

I think a number of different folks wanted the Kennedy's out.

The Mafia did not like the Crooked Cop. They might have viewed the Kennedy's as such.

Joseph Kennedy (Sr) used the Mafia to get the Kennedy's elected.

Then Robert (RFK) went after the Mafia as Attorney General.

The CIA would have felt betrayed by the Bay of Pigs.

There were probably powerful people in Europe and elsewhere that were very upset that Kennedy took the world to the brink of Nuclear War over the Cuban Missile Crisis.

John F. Kennedy had made his enemies. He was working for Civil Rights, so the KKK would be on his enemies list as well.

In short, the list is not a short one.

The only fact that the oligarchs will allow the common folks to know about that day in Dallas is that the President was murdered.

“...Still fascinating after all these years, isn’t it...”

Yes, because they basically pulled off a coup in front of us, and got away with it so slickly and brazenly.

When I see the Zapruder film, it’s more than watching a man get murdered; it’s watching part of America, and what we all believe in and love, get murdered. Not Camelot, not any of that bullshit... just an American President that actually DID love his country, served it honorably in uniform and out, made some stupid decisions politically and personally (he’s human).

I’m not a fan of the Kennedys in general, but I AM a fan of the American ideal, and something in that died that day along with him.

Love him or hate him, JFK didn’t deserve to be murdered, and I’d like, before I leave the Earth, to know that whoever was involved with it got what THEY deserved, ultimately.

Guess that’ll never happen.
