Newsmax TV is running a show on JFK that is a world premiere. Sounds interesting as a guy on the show admits to having killed JFK. You can watch it at the link.

I always thought it was just the perfect storm, all the wrong moves happening at once that led to the assassination. Oswald tried to kill General Edwin Walker for being anti-commie, Oswald admitted it to his wife. He also hated Kennedy for what he did to Castro and here comes Kennedy in an open convertible right next to where Oswald works which in Oswalds mind was like a lottery win, the guy definitely had a motive. But, I find it very strange that he not only would be riding in an open convertible, but that they would announce it ahead of time which is pretty much inviting any nut to take target practice. And gee whiz, where does the car pass by? Where Oswald works which conveniently has a 6 story window in an empty room that allows him to hide behind books. The guy definitely shot him, I have no doubt about that. Oswald wasn’t going to let that opportunity pass, bringing the “curtain rods” to work. But I do wonder sometimes if they got him after the attempt on Walker and made a deal with him, it’s probably like I said the perfect storm, all those bad things just coming together, but it does seem a little far fetched. Was it announced the day before WITH the exact route and time advertised? Did they do before with Kennedy? Was it common practice to do this even though 3 Presidents before him were assassinated?
Wasn't Oswald a Marine? Do they produce mediocre marksmen?
Don’t know about the route, but I read the Kennedy insisted on the top being removed.
I have always wonder about the coincidence of the car passing right by where Oswald worked.
Showed what one motivated Marine and his rifle could do.
Yes. It's BS.
He got through Marine boot camp which means by definition he wasn't a mediocre shot.
Someday go to Dallas and look out that window where Oswald was. Even mediocre was far more than enough to pull off those shots.
I always has some lingering doubts until I stood there and looked out those windows. I always thought they were really long distance. They weren't. They were 60 to 80 yards with a 10X scope. They were damn easy shots.
The Zapruder film makes the distances look a lot longer than they actually are. It is really not that far when you stand there and look at it.
Posner? Wasn't he accused of plagiarism and falsification multiple times and had resigned a position over these issues?
BTW, I believe it was Posner had commented that had Oswald lived, he would have been acquitted of the assassination.
I for one am not completely convinced others were not involved in this. Lots of corruption back then too, from LBJ to the Warren Commission, FBI, and Dallas P.D. and on and on.
I have little trust for any of them in regards to that event.
Oswald was described as a mediocre shooter.
When I reported to Quantico for a specialty skills course, USMC instructors made a point of emphasizing how Marine Corps training made Oswald a great marksman. If we had trained with the bolt action Carcano 91/38, by the end of that course, given only iron sights, Oswald's feat would have been no problem.
BTW, in the mid-80's, a totally un-PC video game (I think for Atari) gave players an opportunity to duplicate Oswald's ambush. Needless to say, liberals were outraged, so the game was never released.
Cheers,
OLA
Oswald’s scope was a 10X?
LOL.
My adult son and I, staring out the window next to Oswald's alleged vantage point, disagree as to how "makeable" the shots were.
He thinks it would've been easy for an average marksman; I agree on the first shot, not so sure on the other two.
I was only 11 when the assassination occurred, and have had a lifelong fascination with the conspiracy theories.
While I don't buy into many of them, the TV series "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" does present some troubling possibilities.
Well this guy said he was hired as a hit man and he did it. He was in recorded video from the jail cell. He said he did what he was told and so he didn’t worry who was the victim. He claims Oswald was not in on it. He said Oswald never fired a shot. Oswald was just the man chosen to take the fall and killed to keep quiet. The Mob was behind all this and hired him to kill JFK.
New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello according to the show.
Yeah, well he missed completely once, made a survivable wound the second time, and finally hit a fatal wound after the third try. I would describe that as mediocre.
It was actually a Mob Boss the guy who admitted. His first admission was in 1987.
Carlos Marcello’s explosive confession came on Dec. 15, 1987, during an angry tirade about the Kennedy Brothers. Marcello admitted to having the “son of a bitch” killed, adding he was only sorry he didn’t pull the trigger himself.
During his confession, Marcello explained how he met up with Lee Harvey Oswald, whom he’d selected to take the fall for the shooting, as well as his ties to Jack Ruby, the Dallas bar owner who shot Oswald.
Despite his cooperation, Van Laningham says the FBI never did anything with the information. Marcello died in 1993 at age 83.
What are your thoughts regarding the JFK assassination attempt, (planned for 11/2/1963 in Chicago), that did not go off? How about the attempt, (planned for 11/18/1963 in Tampa), that was foiled? Do you think Oswald was involved in/with either of those first 2 attempts at JFK??
The mob theory includes the approval of Sam Giancana in Chicago.
Supposedly Sam was upset that the Kennedys were going after the mob including Marcello whom they grabbed off the street and dumped in Guatemala after they lost a hearing to deport him.
Giancana sent Roselli and another guy to talk to Joe Kennedy to ask him the remind the boys that the mobbed had helped carry WV in the election (union pressure).
Kennedy said he would talk to them when the family authored for Christmas. before Christmas Joe had a massive stroke.
Killing JFK would have violated a mob code since 1891 to kill cops and politicians.
