I’ve never read a single JFK assassination book or watched a JFK related movie. So they are no force of persuasion. The actual records released prior to this day confirm that Lee was absolutely part of a larger plan and did not act-solo, in a vacuum.
I became interested when Sen. Cruz exited the stage after candidate Trump made a big deal of the NE article on Senior Cruz leafletting FPFCC literature in New Orleans. Additionally, I have some first hand accounts from the Cuban ex-pat community that were shared with me in the 70’s.
I’ve read and searched through these databases;
* JFK Facts.org and
* Mary Ferrell.org, has the largest online collection of JFK assassination records and the most concise guides to the JFK debate.
The Assassination Archives and Research Center leads the fight in federal court for full JFK disclosure.
But, I’d love to see the files compiled in relation to JMWAVE and Agent Joannides as they relate to JFK and also beyond that topic of interest. It will be interesting to see what the experts find in latest batch of documents.
Sorry, there is nothing new that has come out, and there is no proof that Oswald was a part of an over-arching conspiracy.
I want to point out again that I originally was a JFK conspiracy buff. I probably read at least two dozen books on the subject. I was in third grade the day JFK.
Was Oswald a Communist? Yes. Did he try to offer his services to the Commies in Russia and Cuba? Yes, but he was a such a loser they didn’t want him for anything. Was his wife Russian? Yes. Did he speak Russian? Yes. Was the CIA watching/tracking him? Sort of, but not really, and THAT is their big embarrassment and attempted cover-up.
Again, if you want a coherent, scientific, well-researched body of evidence put together by professional historians and forensic scientists, you should read Case Closed and Reclaiming History. These books have huge bibiliographies which cite ORIGINAL SOURCES and evidence. There is no question that Oswald and Ruby acted alone. If you choose not to read these books and research the bibiliographies, then you really aren’t trying to get to the truth, you’re just looking for any snippet which will feed into the conclusions you drew a long time ago.
There are several reasons why the public at large won’t let go of the JFK conspiracy claims:
(1) Most people are one hundred percent ignorant, they only buy into what someone said that someone said that someone said. They’ve never researched anything, they don’t know anything.
(2) The JFK assassination conspiracy industry is a billion dollar plus industry. THOUSANDS of books/pamphlets have been written on the subject. Those enriching themselves promoting false conspiracy theories are not going to stop, they’re making lots of money.
(3) Conspiracy-chasing is fun. Conspiracies are mysteries combined with thrillers, those who like to chase conspiracies have a very interesting hobby.
(4) Finally, it is emotionally very difficult for most people to accept that a total LOSER acting alone could change the course of history by assassinating a U.S. president—and in the case of JFK, a beloved young handsome president. When a huge senseless tragedy occurs, it’s human nature not to want to accept that someone so stupid and small could by himself take down someone considered to be so great and historically significant.
People want a great moral counterweight to offset a huge senseless tragedy, that’s what they always reach out for, that’s what they cling to. But in the case of JFK, there is no great moral counterweight. There’s just a loser and a nobody who managed to “accomplish” one significant thing in his entire miserable loser life—killing JFK.
