I am not sure what you mean by over arching conspiracy..
The mafia, Giancana specifically, sent Johnny Roselli and another guy to see Joe Kennedy and remind him the mob had helped kennedy get elected. Since the election the Kennedy’s had Carlos marcello kidnapped and taken to Guatemala and left in the hills with no ID. Two days later he was back in NO and pissed. And RFK was foaming at the mouth to make the case the mob and teamsters were ripping off the pension funds, which they were.
Joe says, when the boys come home for christmas, i’ll take to them. he stoked out and that was that.
Do you think the mob wanted RFK to become president?
I don’t know what motivation or conspiracy people want, but it’s clear as the blood on Jackie’s dress. The mob had every reason to kill both of them.
I am clearly not the rifle guy. I waffle between the can’t make the shot and the gun was all bad to it was fine and he was good shot.
I looked down at the sense and if those trees were filled in, that shot must have been one of the all time lucky hits.
I’ve never understood people claiming it was a difficult shot. Anyone with decent skill with a rifle could have done it even with open sights,
LHO had an narcissitic ego the size, well of Texas but had average intelligence.He was seeking to get his name in history. He defected to USSR but his “valuable” info on radar’s was obsolete. Russians gave him a radio assembly job that he felt was beneath him.
Being a failure he slinked back to the US, thinking his arrival would be frontline news. It wasn’t. He tried to get into national news again with his “Fair Play For Cuba” ploy but that only got him on the local news.
Then he tried to kill General Walker. Failed.(Foiled by a window seal)
Kennedy was his last gasp at notoriety. He finality succeeded.
Saw an documentary involving a expanded look at the private camera footage that used computers to “hack” the spindle slots of the cameras.
One of these scenes showed that a tree and a overhead street signal might have blocked LHO’s first shot. Researchers tried to find the original sign but it had been replaced/painted over so no evidence could be confirmed.
Yep, those can’t bring themselves to face the truth that it was a fellow Lefty that did it.
People who don’t shoot through tree branches.
Yeah, that’s what’s fueling this conspiracy theory crap. People who just cannot believe a single man with LHO’s lowly background could take out their hero.
The facts are Oswald was a commie lunatic and Kennedy wasn’t left enough for him(messing around with Cuba was too much for him)
His narcissistic ego demanded him to seek fame and the president coming to town, it must have seem like destiny for him to take out Kennedy. So hd did.
I myself prefer a good clean shot when I was deer hunting but I have placed a bullet in the lung of a buck that just didn’t want to clear the branch he was under and I wanted him so bad.
Pop.
got it. I was thinking from the standpoint of planning a shoot, why would I pick a place with branches in the way?
Nonsense. Read “Reclaiming History,” by Vincent Bugliosi.

That book is over 10 years old. No thanks.
Thousands of documents from the jfk files have been released since that publication.
I occasionally peek in on the findings of some of the top researchers. All indications are that that the Agency orchestrated the assassination or at the very very least they were grossly negligent by allowing rogue agents to scheme a plan.
And Dallas was the fourth attempt. Quite similar plots to shoot the jfk motorcade were aborted- Miami Tampa & one other.
Oswald was at the TSBDepository less than a month.
Ruth Payne (father, fatherinlaw and brother all CIA) got him the job.
A higher paying better job offer for Lee was telephoned to the Payne House. Ruth Payne never gave Lee that message. The potential hirer testified to the Warren or one of the later investigations.
Payne picked up and drove the Oswalds from NOLA to Dallas.
Payne claimed she wanted to learn Russian from Marina Oswald.
Payne already knew Russian and had taught Russian at a local school.
Payne claimed Lee did not have a license or know how to drive.
Witnesses testify Lee drove the Payne car several times per week.
Lee had a valid Texas Dr. License.
Really??? Maybe you could explain then... this picture of secret service agent Hickey in the car directly behind Kennedy's. Nice try but you are blowing smoke. Most people would recognize the object that he is holding as a Colt AR-15 high-velocity rifle. This was taken just a second or two after Kennedy was shot. Agent George Hickey was standing while holding his rifle. He lost his balance and his rifle dropped from pointing up to pointing directly at the back of Kennedy's head and then it accidentally discharged. The damage done to Kennedy's head match the ballistic and the forensic evidence.
Yep. Only 88 yards? With a younger arm I might have been able to hit Kennedy with a baseball at that distance.
