“Traveled in open car”—In those days Presidents traveled in OPEN cars to be “close to the people”. See old films of Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower- They all “paraded” that way. Kennedy when walking, would walk up to the barriers and shake the crowds hands.
Read Ion Pacepa’s last 2 books- Cover’s Oswald and assassination
Great point. But good luck getting all the conspiracy nuts (even on FR) to even consider it.
Jack Ruby didn’t shoot JFK.
Or the Lone Nutters on FR to believe in it. Glad you call over 70% of the American Public consistent in this view and in fact, Assassination Witness James Tague who was injured as well in the assassination nuts. Your logic is very rational.
JFK certainly did push his luck, 1960 election stolen, all those affairs. He didn’t deserve it but he seemed to push his luck alright.
"Good afternoon," he said. "I'm Lee Harvey Oswald."Yeah, right. He was introduced as "Lee Oswald", and went by Lee; the "Harvey" middle name has been attached since his arrest and murder in 1963 in order to avoid litigation for libel against news sources, by any other "Lee Oswalds" living in the US.
:’) Well chosen!
In the name of fair play, it appears this document is dismissed largely as a forgery, fraud.
However, at the same time, the House Select Committee on Assassination in the ‘70s still checked out possible ties of Oswald to the CIA.

And of course he almost got us in a nuclear exchange with Russia.
Most people don’t realize how close that was.
And of course, Gary Powers(?) U-2 went down and people were unsure why.

And the odds caught up with JFK.
There was a lot of hostility in Dallas and Texas for Kennedy. They were tempting fate and JFK lost.
A trip to Chicago by JFK was cancelled only weeks before.
The Omen in Chicago: the I-Team has discovered not just one, but two plots to cut down JFK in Chicago in early November, 1963, and an intriguing backstory of bungling by the government agencies protecting him.
....
An hour later, the White House scrubbed JFK’S trip.
“Since the president’s life was in such severe danger, that was the reason he cancelled the trip to Chicago— the assassination threat,” said Bolden. “

(Thanks!)
The Chicago plan didn’t work out so they simply waited until Dallas.
Thanks, BeadCounter.
I wonder if Oswald knew the Marine shooter in Chicago? LOL
Please see post 53.
Castro's Communist background was well known even to our ambassador to Cuba at the time, Earl E. T. Smith. Smith tried to warn the Eisenhower State Dept about Castro but was totally ignored. Personnel sent to Cuba during this period weren't even debriefed by our own ambassador but instead were sent to Castro sympathizer NYT reporter Herbert L. Matthews.
Ambassador Smith revealed this entire sordid story in his book The Fourth Floor: An Account of the Castro Communist Revolution (1962).
The Castro revolution was manufactured right here is the good old USA by Eisenhower and his State Dept.
Wow! You are a real intellectual, Ha Ha Ha Ha. Is that the best you got !! Ho Ho
