Dad Knew Who Killed JFK
Pajamas Media ^ | November 24 | Arieh O'Sullivan

Posted on 11/24/2008 10:55:04 AM PST by AJKauf

On April 7, 1964, a 26-year-old detective in the New Orleans Police Department skipped up the steps into the Old Civil Courts building in New Orleans and presented himself to the Warren Commission investigating the assassination of President Kennedy.

I’d always known my father had been acquainted with Oswald. They had not only grown up half a block away from each other, but had shared homerooms at school. Sitting alphabetically, my old man Fred sat in front of Oswald for years. O’Sullivan next to Oswald.

Sifting through my Dad’s papers I came upon a letter from Jacqueline Kennedy thanking my father for appearing before the commission. It wasn’t something he spoke of often — just a tidbit of information in a life that went on to greater adventures. ...

Maybe Oswald shot Kennedy by himself but how did he know the route of the president’s motorcade the day before? He took his rifle to work that morning. I think he shot JFK but I think he had inside information from people who had much to gain from JFK’s death.

The route was announced a few days beforehand.

All included the jog onto Elm right past the Schoolbook Depository.

The only theory I have ever held about JFKs assassination was....'The 'Lone Nut' was working for somebody.....Who?

I thought it was interesting in the June speech from Muammur Khadafi he mentions Obama is a muslim.....then launches into JFK, assassination and the Israelis..... ;)

LBJ govt incredibly richer off the Vietnam War. He was a major shareholder in Brown & Root construction which build many bases in SE Asia. Many defense contractors were also in TX. He probably made out alright from the space program too.

Brown & Root became KBR which was spun off from Halliburton.

Nixon? He was almost broke when he was forced out of office.

Joe Pesci’s over the top David Ferrie in the movie was good. JFK did have a great cast. John Candy as the creepy attorney amd Gary Oldman as Oswald.

All the answers are available if you’re willing to read, it’s not very complicated what happened, we have the rifle, we have the killer, we know where he shot from.

Most all the performances in JFK were classic, I LOVE that movie, if viewed as a paranoid black comedy farce it’s one of the greatest movies ever.

Johnson Fence Company. All of the chain link fences on every post in and out of Viet Nam were made by the Johnson fence company...owned by LBJ and Ladybird.

Oswald did it, OK? Jeeze. Lots of people wanted Kennedy dead, but Oswald did it.

Some very good performances. I was watching it for a while the other night on cable. JFK is a saint, Texans are gun nuts, military is evil, Kevin Bacon as a gay jail bird foaming at the mouth anti-communist - the standard left wing Oliver Stone agenda.

Pesci going nuts as David Ferrie was great. Bill Murray’s brother as Jack Ruby. Gary Oldman is great but I do not get him mumbling as Oswald but I do not think I have ever heard Oswald speak.

A senior CIA official while slightly inebriated one night made the following statement while looking off in the distance: “I wonder how the American people would take it if they knew one president had another president killed”. One knew to just listen and not ask any questions..but there was only one president killed in modern times..and only two possible presidents who could have had a reason..either Nixon or LBJ.

Wait...a third possibility! George W. Bush! That’s it, Bush is to blame! Where was he in November 1963?

Motorcade routes were routinely published back then. As a young kid I remember people lining the streets along the way.

If the route hadn’t been published we wouldn’t have the Zapruder film.

Thanks. Yeah LBJ left office as the wealthiest President with the exception of maybe Geo Washington. Washington inflation adjusted was supposedly a billionaire.

What is weird is after he left office the family almost disappeared off the radar.

I believe Oswald shot Kennedy. I don’t believe that alone means that there weren’t other assassins or a conspiracy to kill him. Did they exist? I don’t know, but just assuming Oswald was guilty doesn’t completely invalidate the idea that other assassins were present and may or may not have acted.

Pesci was incredible, Tommy Lee Jones was great too, Candy is great, Gary Oldman is one of my favorite actors and Coppala’s Dracula is one of my favorite movies.

I believe I read that the newspapers ran the route in their papers the day before so folks could turn out.

Watching the film the first shot seems to come from the fight front, not from the right rear.

And why does JFK's head violently lurch to the rear if he was shot from behind?  The documentary "experts" say this is possible but I've never been able to understand why.

Oswald was one strange individual.

How can we get in touch with him?
