I read somewhere that the reason JFK was shot was because he was going to get rid of the FedReserve (in fact he signed an Executive Order a few weeks before his assination)and it was a hit by them.
RFK had nothing to do with the CIA/Mob war on Cstro and their subsequent plot to kill his brother, using their assets in Govt and the FBI.
So your theory is that the CIA and Mob were in it together? I agree that JFK was a Mob hit, but I'm wondering what the CIA's motive would have been.
Read Posner’s book. I used to be a JFK conspiracy buff, read all the books. Posner cured me of that. Vincent Bugliosi has more recently written another book, same conclusion. Oswald alone. Ruby alone. It was only by a fluke that Ruby even intercepted Oswald - Oswald had delayed ten minutes to change his shirt. Otherwise Ruby would never even have encountered him.
Have you read Case Closed? Pretty convincing. Bugliosi’s more recent book draws the same conclusions (though I haven’t read it yet - just read about it).
I agree that it is written very convincingly and certainly merits its title. I am just dubious that there were no outside influences acting on Oswald. Perhaps I am remembering the book incorrectly and am open to a re-look as it has been some time since I read it.
Wasn' Bobby investigating MLK? Didn't the Kennedys think King was a communist?
Jack Ruby wound not have lasted 10 minutes in the Mob. They guy could never keep his mouth shut. Compared to him, Joe Biden is The Sphinx.
And boy, nobody ever sprawled like those Kennedys.
I don't think he was in the mob, only that he had connections to the mob. It is known that he had dealings with Sam Giancana. He was likely indebted to the mob in some big way, which is how they got him to silence Oswald. His stated reasons for shooting Oswald were laughable.
If memory serves, Posner was the first author with access to the KGB files on Oswald. The punk was definitely a commie, but he killed JFK all by himself.
Not to make a deal of it, but I have had "connections" with the Mob if you want to call knowing some of these guys or ever having a drink with them as a 'connection.
Growing up where I did, yes, I knew 'made men.' You would have to be a hermit not to 'know' them. As I grew older, I hung out in some of the same places where made men hung out. I shared drinks with them, talked sports, women or whatever with them.
Ruby was a bar owner, sleazy strip bars were his specialty. Anyone in that business, or who frequents those places, is going to cross paths with the underworld. That's just a fact. That does not make him a member of the Mob.
The Dallis cops just laughed when the conspiracy goofs said Ruby was part of the Mob. They knew him well and knew he was nowhere close to really 'connected' any more than they were by hanging out in the same sleazy bars and 'knowing' the same guys.
Ruby had a man crush on JFJ. When he walked into the PD that day, he had no plan just a sudden brain fart that if he killed the man who killed JFK, he would be a national hero.
It was an act of revenge and opportunity. There was no planning.
Read the interviews with Ruby afterwards.
RUBY WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM ON THE 22ND. AT FRIDAY NIGHT’S PRESS MEETING BUT HE DIDN’T WANT TO RISK HARMING ANYONE ELSE, ACCORDING TO THE POLICE WHO ASKED HIM WHY HE HADN’T SHOT OSWALD AT THAT TIME. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY PREMEDITATED.
Can anyone imagine Marina found Lee a real catch, a guy so hot she just couldn’t resist? In fact, he was such a babe, she married him within 6 weeks of their first fateful encounter.
This is, by itself, the most incriminating evidence of the conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy.
It is “THE ABSOLUTE PERFECTLY PRISTINE, MAGIC BULLET WITHOUT BLEMISH OR DISFIGURATION WHATSOEVER.”
