The bay of pigs was a huge betrayal..plus Bobby was going after the mob big time...of course they took care of him too.

DoughtyOne, I think that he was pushing for the Federal Reserve to be audited.

The difference is that that coup ushered in the LBJ destruction of our nation and people who cannot see that coup are in major denial of the extreme evil that was done..hence, very weak and gullible in other matters that are yet to come.

Kennedy chickened out at the Bay of Pigs and refused the air support the invasion needed for its success when the popular support for the invasion didn’t immediately appear. His cowardice invited the soviet missiles.

Kennedy approved the Bay of Pigs invasion but he only approved limited support. In other words Kennedy tried to remove/kill Castro but he only did it in a half-ass manner.

So the question becomes what does somebody like Castro (and the Russians) do when somebody tries to kill them in a half ass manner?

I don't think the answer is that they leave Kennedy alone. That would show weakness on Castro's part.

Oswald definitely did it. The only question is why? It certainly didn’t further soviet interests.

Because Oswald was a nut case.

Lone gunman, Oswald. It’s not inconceivable that he had discussed his ideas with others.

The things he did made Nixon look like a shoplifter of candy in comparison. I think that’s why Nixon thought he could do what he did, because he knew it had been done before in droves. I know he hated Bobby Kennedy, and after LBJ was sworn in as POTUS, he called Bobby within hours of his brother’s death and identified himself to Bobby by saying, “This is the President.” This had to be very unnerving to Bobby, which I’m sure was the intent.

The more I know the more I realize how little I know. Not an original thought, but one expressed often by wise men, philosophers, scientists since the dawn of civilization. 3,800 books about the Kennedy assassination brings to my mind for some reason not the thought that I might have missed some words of wisdom in them, but $$$ that were made off fools who bought them.

MSM? Where did you learn of the assassination? Where did you learn of these books’ existence? Sitting on a barstool? You learn most everything you know from the very MSM.

Oswald did it. Ruby was and remains a wildcard. The silence about the Soviets and Cuba is a KGB job of making so much noise with those 3,800 books and through the MSM that the obvious is lost in it.

But have you ever killed?
Gongs, pins, and paper are not the same.

Oswald was allowed to leave SU because he was that type of disillusioned useful idiot

Who else was a "disillusioned useful idiot" at the time that the Soviets expelled unconditionally, along with his/her spouse? There are no other such cases. The disappointed Western idiots (and there were a few of them) just stayed put in Moscow. The Soviets liked to kill people, and that was sufficient interest for them to kill Kennedy (if in fact they did.)

Well, if The Economist says it it must be true!

Journalists could use a sign on their mirrors asking them to be sure that their making an argument about something in print isn't more likely to make people assume that the opposite is true.

The were ransomed and returned to the US where Mrs. Kennedy spoke to them in the Orange Bowl. She spoke in Spanish.

Not all of them made it back, and over 100 of them paid for JFK's cowardice with their lives.

No I don’t think it was tampered with, like countless other posters have stated, “what am I supposed to do, believe my lying eyes”.

His head clearly snaps backwards and to the left.

Educate yourself. I’m a nurse not a professor. You’re a big boy capable of doing the work. I’ll give you a hint, start with Newton’s 1st and 3rd laws of motion.
