So far it appears to be nothing but a big pity party for LBJ.
It’s been discussed for decades.
Didn’t know there was a marine behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll!
Posner’s book, `Case Closed’ points out that a careful review of Zapruder’s film showed only three `jolts’: you know how people flinch when the honor guard fires at a military funeral?
Former Marine Oswald (known to his fellow Marines as `Ozzy Rabbit’) fired three times. One shot hit the pavement, two hits on his target.
Conspiracy and assassination sound better/more exalted, I suppose, but it was plain murder by a deranged loner/misfit.
The story was at the hospital she handed the doctor some “pieces” of her husband and asked if it would help them. Don’t know if it’s true but the poor woman surely suffered from shock.
So do the KGB.
Yep, behind that little puff of smoke above the fence in the photo of the grassy knoll was Boris Badenov and waiting behind him, the CIA, then a half dozen Cubans, assorted Mafia hitmen, several assorted crazies with standby invitations, and several dozen regular Texans led y LBJ who just happened to be passing by, saw what was happening and decided, “Well hell, I’ll give it a go!” and unlimbered their deer rifles from their truck racks. (Maybe some outerspace aliens too?)
They had all taken numbers and were waiting their turn to take a potshot at the Anti-christ.
Almost sixty years of conjecture about UFOs and Kennedy assassination conspiracies and all we have to show for it is some really fuzzy photographs; like the John Wayne Bobbett case, no hard evidence that will stand up in court, just a lot of wildeyed speculation/smoke & mirrors from his worshippers who could not accept that their guy was only human—all objections as if stated from ambitious cajun lawyers and screwball Hollywood directors.
There was a Readers Digest article which stated that Oswald had served in Japan during his stint in the U.S. military. The article said that his post gave him access to information about the height of U2 flights which could have led to the shoot down of Francis Gary Powers.
Other sources recounted that Oswald had defended Castro’s Cuba on the radio while he was in New Orleans. He seemed to have more affinity for Cuba than the U.S.S.R.
That being said, he probably was not working under direction of either Cuba or the U.S.S.R. It is curious that Jack Ruby, his killer, was a nightclub owner who had traveled to Communist Cuba at a time when not many people did this.
Interesting. I didn’t know Ruby had gone to Cuba. Do you know if it was after Castro had taken over? Of course the Mob had a heavy influence there prior.
The story was that he had gone to Cuba after Castro had taken over. According to a web page, Ruby went in August of 1959. Castro had assumed power on Jan 1, 1959.
For a brief period the U.S. media successfully hid the fact that Castro was setting up a Communist state. I have no idea whether this was common knowledge by August of that year. It is quite possible that Ruby did not have a clue. It also seems rather early for intrigue against the U.S. to be coming from Cuba.
“Who got incredibly richer off Vietnam? LBJ”
Wait a second, didn’t Vietnam (among other things) cost him a second term, after he had won the previous election in a historic landslide? Remind me how it made him “richer”.
“She reached back to grab a piece of his skull & scalp off the trunk deck.”
Did it fly through a cloud of invisible ink so that we can’t see it (as we see the cloud of red and the gooey stuff inside his head)? Or was Jackie enough of a neat-freak to worry about a piece of skull too small to be seen on the film?
There was no brain matter. Watch the film. This is no more than wishful thinking on the part of those who want the head-shot to have come from the front.
“He was using a war surplus Italian rifle, siting on a moving target at over 300 feet, with some branches in the way. The Marines turn out some real shooters.”
The head-shot would have had no obstructions.
It was in a biography about her. The book is called “A Woman Named Jackie”. Great read.
“For a brief period the U.S. media successfully hid the fact that Castro was setting up a Communist state.”
Bear in mind that Castro flirted with both sides, and our government really, really hoped (”crossing my fingers”) he’d tip our way. Just like they hoped Mao wasn’t such a bad guy. And that the Soviet Union would hold free elections in its satellite states.
Oh, and the media is, in my opinion, oftener stupid than sly.
Every reality show now has these dramas...even when cutting down trees or making souffles.
Here is what happened by the father of Bush’s former press secretary:

I knew THAT the day it happened! I was in San Angelo, Texas at the time.
No, I was watching “The Battle of Algiers” instead, which all Freepers should see, as it is the GREATEST movie on guerilla warfare and counterinsurgency tactics ever made.
