“Who really cares anymore, other than a bunch of aging media types?”

A dumb question.

I don't mean to be condescending to you; but his assassination was a huge event in our history.
The ripples still affect us today.

What if he would have survived? The Cold War and Vietnam for starters, would have looked differently.
I think the romance with the Kennedy's would grown old as another factor.

JFK, for all his personal flaws, was the last anti-Communist, pro-defense Democrat President. He also believed tax cuts would stimulate the economy.

He'd be branded an "extremist teabagger" by today's dems. The media would be tearing into his personal life... imagine what they'd find.

My thinking now is that the force behind the assassination was either (1) the mafia or (2) Cuba. And that someone in the Secret Service was complicit.

They may have wanted Kennedy dead in their minds, but Oswald was the killer. No evidence points elsewhere.

Yes. He was a shill. Ballistically and trajectorily it has been proven that, being where he was in the TSBD building , it would have been impossible for him to have fired the shots that hit and ultimately killed Kennedy. There exist photographs of two other marksmen on the grassy knoll with rifles and scopes who did in fact fire the fatal shots. They were professional French snipers and were exactly where they needed to be to fire two shots almost simultaneously which matched exactly the trajectories which would have been necessary to create the entrance wounds found on the President. The Warren Commission report accepts the trajectories then makes a mockery of scientific analysis by attributing the shots to Oswald, drawing ridiculous graphs showing bullets making left and right turns on their own. Oswald, an ex-Marine shill, a second-rate marksman holding an antiquated weapon in a location from which not even today’s smart ballistics could have made the entrance wounds found on the President, could not have fired the two shots because the time elapsed between the shots did not provide anyone, much less Oswald, the chance to reload and re-fire the kind of rifle found in the TSBD and attributed to Oswald as the weapon used in the assassination.

Long disproven. Conspiracies are fun and the truth is final and boring, but give it up.. Oswald killed the man on 22 Nov 1963.

Read Vince Bugliosi's "Reclaiming History." Oswald, on one occasion in the Marines, tested exceptionally high on the range.

I was aware of Vice President Johnson’s reputation; and my first thought when I heard that JFK was shot — was that Johnson COULD have been behind it. That was my first instinct; an honest response

You might be interested in listening to this interview I came across recently....

I understand he was also opposed to the Fed Reserve’s(it is not a USA but a world banking entity) control over the USA money commerce. He had millions of USA government notes printed ,backed up by our gold, to replace Wilson’s world order Fed Reserve dollars. The world bankers at the time could not/would not let this stand. Drastic action was needed. The question in my mind is whether JFK was included in such drastic action, Think Rothchilds and Europe, Oswald and Russia, Sorros and WWII and last but not least the Bildeberger cabal. Wow! Isn’t this stuff for a who done it/who does it mystery novel.

I was in third grade, in (Catholic) school. There was commotion in the hallway, and my teacher left the classroom briefly to see what was the trouble. I heard agitated voices, and I think someone said “shot” or something like that. At the end of second grade, Pope John XXIII died, and the Mother Superior came on the PA and asked us to pray for him. This seemed like kind of a re-play of that. When I got home, my mother told me what had happened. She was quite agitated, and it frightened me to see her so upset about someone so far away being killed. I wasn’t really clear about who President Kennedy was, or why he was important.

I remember train tracks on TV, hour upon hour, the next day. My favorite TV shows were preempted.

JFK stealing the 1960 election was the most destructive act in American history, and we did not survive it.

Press 1 for English, and to see the future of America that was created when Eisenhower’s veep had the election stolen from him.

More destructive than the civil war? More destructive than FDR and the New Deal? I don’t know.

They’re all part of a generalized slide down Entropy Mountain.
