They have been telling us since the assassination that the documents were to be sealed for 50 years. Well, it’s been 50 years and no release of the Warren Commission files yet.

Has there been any “official” statement on the release (or lack thereof) of the Report?

Links??

Harry started out as a bagman for the Boss Pendergast mob in KC. How he became known as a fount of wisdom escapes me.

a book of bunk published by a profiteering hack...the whole theory was disproven by this frame in the Bronson film of the assassination ...the frame is at the instant of the head shot.... the yellow arrow points to the head of the accused Secret Service agent, he is sitting down and not firing his AR-15...plus this frame indicates there would have had to been a whole lot of blind witnesses if they didn't see that happen ...for instance Charles Brehm must have been 5- 10ft away from Agent Hickey when he supposedly accidentally shot his gun (he's the guy in the tan jacket on the curb)

If had, say a scoped semiauto M1C or M1D Garand....

...or a Gewher G43 with the ZF41 scope on it that Wermacht and SS Scharfschutzen were so fond of and proficient with...

..or a Tokarev SVT-40 with the 2.5 PU scope...

Yeah, then I could see Oswald - a former Marine, remember - getting off three accurate and fast rounds. Maybe even a Kar98K or an Enfield (very fast bolt action on the No 4 Mk I).

But not with that Carcano piece of crap.

Plus, the whole “Magic Bullet” theory crap... and the bullet that “fell” out of Kennedy on the stretcher, in pristine condition, no way...

Dad had a saying... “If you smell dog crap, it’s a pretty sure bet you stepped in it...”

Re: I can see Oswald - IF-IF-IF he was ONE of the gunman - getting off one good shot. I’ll never believe he was the ONLY gunman.

That ONE “good shot” was probably the one that hit the concrete - sending debris into the cheek of the bystander under the overpass.

tell me: is the correct word “Sighted” or “Sited” in regard to the scope?

Sight refers to vision. Site refers to location.

Fatal Error I think it was called.

Read the book last year, was free on Amazon Prime. Made a good case. The head shot might of came from the AR, but the two other wounds from Oswald were probably not survivable.

“...“Sighted” or “Sited”..”

Sighted.

Without the “gh” the word “sited” refers to something “situated” or “located”. Like a “missile site” (base, platform, location).

“Sighted” refers to something viewed. “He sighted (viewed, spied, saw) the storm clouds in the distance...”

At least that’s always been my understanding of the difference.

In terms of LBJ:

In happened in LBJ's home state (Texas) -- which if it were true he was involved -- it would be easier to cover the tracks of his allies...

LBJ was known to be a let's make a deal man. So LBJ could have made a deal with other folks (organizations). JFK made the Mafia mad by looking to prosecute the Mafia (RFK was doing that).

And if the CIA was involved, that would have been access to Lee Harvey Oswald, who probably was a double agent -- pretending to defect to the Soviet Union, but being a CIA agent (or possibly being one).

If LBJ was involved, it would have been a tangled web of Mafia/CIA/Freemasons. Freemasonry has appeared in some conspiracy theories because JFK closed down a Masonic lodge on a military base (though I can would have trouble proving that assertion).

Freemasons could play a role as they are a secret society.

And LBJ was probably a very high ranking Freemason who may have enlisted brother Freemasons to help him...

That is -- if LBJ was part of some larger conspiracy...

[What was the CIA supposed to do/be as opposed to what it became (at that time) ?]

Truman intended the CIA to limit its mission to foreign intelligence gathering and counterespionage. He didn’t intend the agency to expand its operational scope to creating private armies, fomenting bloody coups and assassinating heads of state.

RE Freemasons:

Never heard that assertion. But at this point in time, anything could be possible.

What is your gut instinct on it, though? Who do you think was definitely involved - giving the orders-wise, right through to carrying it out...

After hearing Stone on several different programs, it’s pretty convincing to me that LBJ was all over this.

Funny how people are ... no one wants to believe that “OUR” president could ever do something like that. Like we’re so far above the norm or something. So it’s difficult for some people to fathom treachery at that level. Sort of like the astonishment you see when a murder happens in a “good neighborhood” - “That sort of thing NEVER happens HERE!”

Hell, the way I see it, someone at that level, the more they have to lose, the more desperate they become, and the more likely they are to abuse the power they have while they have it... human nature, after all.

The CIA had only been around about 15 years by the time he said all this. So they went rogue quickly.

If you look closely you will notice the muzzle looks like the open three pronged model. They did not round it off until later and do away with the three pronged end of the muzzle.
