A friend relocated to Plano. On my first business trip many years ago to Dallas we met for dinner and I asked we dime near the “grassy knoll”. We walked there after dinner. It was so small. Not at all what I expected.

He should feel no guilt. He was Jackie’s secret service. Why in black and white footage at the airport were the other agents waved away to not be by jfks car. You can clearly see it.

That agent had no chance to save JFK. He wasted half his life feeling guilty for no good reason. It was an inside hit job. You don’t stop those.

Does he explain about the bullet found on the stretcher, how the SS took the camera of the man in operating room, they took JFK’s brain as well. They refused the DR telling them had to be an autopsy and they couldn’t take the body?

What about the Hobs’s seen at grassy knoll? All the strange deaths afterwards.

I am thinking of getting this book.

I used to think that Castro was behind the assassination, he was evil and crazy enough to do it and he believed Jfk was trying to kill him.

Now I think thats just another cover story.

I think the Deep state had him killed because he was standing in the way of the changes they wanted to make.

I do think Oswald was the gunman(s), but he was also the designated patsy. The last few days he realized it and then he was gone.

Lots of bad things started happening to America in the 1960s and it all started happening right after the Jfk assassination.

How did Oswald manage to put a bullet hole in the front windshield ?

All bullets came from one direction, from Oswald’s rifle firing from his position by the six floor window of the School Book Depository Building

YEP, I saw a show that debunks Myths duplicate the Kennedy assignation, and proved Oswald was the lone shooter! Was Oswald paid by the Mob, Castro, or the Soviets? Probably, but we will never know.

One was a germanic looking young man called Bluto- ‘Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?’,

John Belushi

Seriously, after mounds of circumstantial evidence to the contrary and hundreds of unique ‘coincidences’ and anomalies that occurred after, very few dedicated jfk researches are inclined to support the lone RW nut theory.

The worst thing that came out of that event was the emboldening of our alphabet agencies. The only question that really remain is over the quantity of agents involved and whether they should be characterized as rogue.

Sure thing. especially when they are cops or detectives accustomed to working crime scenes and firing weapons repeatedly at the range.

LHO sure travelled a lot for an unemployed guy with no savings or a car who supposedly had no driver’s license.

What I meant was had the shooting not happened. Imagine if we could have avoided Johnson completely? Maybe even he would have retired and someone else would have run for VP in 64.

#47 because it was a magic bullet.

I saw a yT video once that convinced me that Jackie O. actually shot him. However, some things we will never know.

He wanted the US Treasury to regain control of the money supply. Very dangerous and brave, but deadly.

"They called alexander graham bell in to use his geiger counter to find the bullet in his lower back."

Methinks it would be a wise move for you to re-check your alleged "facts":

Geiger counters detect ionizing radiation. They do not react to non-radioactive metals.

Look up "Geiger-Müller tube" to get an explanation of the detection physics involved...

Yes, it magically came from the back, hits two people, goes through the windshield and ends up on the Gurley in the hospital

Ask Trump. He’s the one holding anything back. Maybe he saw that CIA memo that read “Give Otto the hitman a raise for killing JFK” and he doesn’t want anyone to see it. I mean what earth shatering insights are you expecting to find?

I love that movie! I also didn’t know he was playing someone named Clint! Funny.

They filmed that where I worked.

"Does he explain about the bullet found on the stretcher" -- Yes. He states (among other things) that it was not as pristine as many believe.

"how the SS took the camera of the man in operating room," -- I do not specifically recall that being mentioned.

"they took JFK’s brain as well." -- What was left of it. Yes he discusses this and the 'autopsy'

" They refused the DR telling them had to be an autopsy and they couldn’t take the body?" -- Yes, He discusses this and pretty much rips the whole thing to shreds. But he emphasizes that the bad autopsy is not proof of a murder conspiracy.

"What about the Hobs’s seen at grassy knoll?" He names them and cites the interviews conducted with the three men.

"All the strange deaths afterwards." -- He discusses this in detail.

I have read numerous books on the assassination, and as stated earlier, never bought into the 'lone gunman' theory. I felt I had to read the book to be fair. I now feel 95% certain that Oswald did do it.

I was disappointed in one aspect of the book: Bugliosi chose to ridicule Hugh McDonald, the author of "Appointment in Dallas". He does so without addressing any of the possibilities that McDonald brings up, McDonald was a man with a stellar reputation and well placed in law enforcement, including extensive contacts in the CIA and FBI.

I would suggest reading the book.
