JFK Assassination

[LindaK]

I don't know if he acted alone. He might well have. He might have been led to believe he was working for the KGB when it was a covert CIA operation, I really don't know.

But why did Jack Ruby shoot Oswald? And why in such a way that he had to know it was a suicide mission?

Have you seen the write-up someone did on the similarities of Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations? (Don't remember many of them and I don't know if they are true, still it was interesting; Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy and Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln, Lincoln’s assassin ran from a theatre to a warehouse, Kennedy's from a warehouse to a theatre...etc.)

I think his wife had him
hit because of the Marilyn Monroe affair.

interesting slant, but i'm now of the opinion that marilyn was 'hit' due to her ties to communism, and being a 'confidant' of jfk and bobby, was probably privy to much sensitive info which she may have been passing on. her husband a. miller had some ties to communism, he refused to pass along any names during the mccarthy investigation.

I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. He bought the rifle in to the building and shot Kennedy from the window. I will provide some evidence as I have gathered from the documentary that another person on this thread refered to.



First in the movie JFK with actor Kevin Costner as the main character; Oliver Stone propagates allot of false information. As to wether he intended to or not, I do not know. The first correction, and perhaps the most important, is that Lee Harvey Oswald was actually a very good shot with a rifle. This was confirmed by Mr.. Oswald's Marine service records. This is in direct contradiction of Mr.. Stone's claim in the movie. People have actually have carefully reconstructed the conditions of the shooting. They showed that, with the same make of rifle, the shots could certainly be made. The Magic Bullet was fully explained by the same experiments. It was shown that the way the bullets behaved was consistent with the observations made in regard to the evidence of the actual shooting. One of the reasons that it was thought that the bullet's behavior was impossible was because they misunderstood the way the President was actually seated in the car. He wasn't sitting at the same height as the Gov. He was somewhat higher because he was in a jump seat. Once this is fact is added; it becomes more clear as to how the bullet behaved the way it did. The evidence of the President's missing brain was due to his having Addison's's disease which the administration and his family wanted to keep secret. The brain was returned to the family later. As to motive; Mr.. Oswald was a radical Communist as is established by his efforts to live in the Soviet Union and then later in Cuba.



I think what we can learn from this is that just because someone claims that this or that is a fact does not mean that it is. One must go to the trouble of looking into things for one's self.

Here’s a subject of some interest that might be fun to kick around.

Was JFK killed as the result of a conspiracy? If so, who was involved and what was the motive?

I myself have some definite ideas on the subject, but want to get the ball rolling before sharing them but I will start by saying I know that there was no conspiracy.

How about you?

Look at the Zapruder film and www.whatreallyheppened.com The photos on the far left will prove that LHO didnt act alone.

New evidence points out key govt officials new about this assassination as much as 6-9 months ahead of time. Why didnt they bring it out to the public remains to be seen.

I dont think his wife had him hit but its interesting how she married Aristotle Onassis after JFK was assassinated. He had connections with Robert Maheu who reported to be involved with this conspiracy.

Just thought I'd respond to a few things.

And all the blood and brain matter flies foward like he was shot from the back.

Edited by a moderator.

That is a commonly believed and repeated myth. Unfortunately it is not true at all. The route was not changed at the last minute.

Edited by a moderator.

Not sure on that one. Do you have a source?

Edited by a moderator.

The assassination of President Kennedy left a lot of people shocked, upset, sad, and angry. It's not really all that suprising that someone wanted to punish the man who killed the President.

Edited by a moderator.

If you took a random sampling of people from 1963, you'd probably find that some of them died of car accidents, cancer, heart attacks, and yes even freak accidents. This is a circular argument. There was a conspiracy therefore all these poor folks were rubbed off to keep them from talking about it. All these poor folks were rubbed off to keep from talking about something, therefore there was a conspiracy!

Not to mention that if you're going to be going around killing people, you'd have to have some hit men which would then make the conspiracy larger and not smaller.

Is this straight out of JFK? Kennedy was not going to pull out of Vietnam. He was the one who increased U.S. troop strength in southeast Asia from 500 to 16,000 and told Walter Cronkite in an interview in 1963 that he thought to pull out from Vietnam would be a mistake.

I suppose that's a matter of perspective. In 2006 if the President is driving down the road and hears a BANG he'd be buried under Secret Service men in less than a second. But that's because of the Kennedy assassination. At the time a loud BANG could just as easily been one of the police motorcyles backfiring. Since the first shot likely missed there was nothing to look at to indicated a bullet had been fired. In any case, it only takes a few seconds after the shots for the car to speed up. Seems like natural reaction time to me.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to say here. You are aware that the doctors in Dallas had nothing to do with the autopsy, right?

Edited by a moderator.

Perhaps he was referring to Kennedy's chances in the upcoming 1964 election?

Edited by a moderator.

This is a Red Herring. Has nothing to do with the JFK assassination.

Edited by a moderator.

Poor shot by military standards and poor shot by your standards or mine are probably two different things. Nevertheless, I've never seen anything indicating he was a poor shot. According to his file he was average. I've not seen the photos so I can't speak to those.

Edited by a moderator.

If you were in on a conspiracy to kill the President of the United States and were not actually doing any of the grunt work yourself, wouldn't it make more sense to be as far away from the actual assassination as possible? In Bush's case, isn't he from Texas? It's not all suprising then that he was there.

Edited by a moderator.

Evidence? Even if this were true (and it very well might be), it tells us nothing about the Kennedy assassination.

Edited by a moderator.

I'll have to look into this one more as well. But why do you need an Oswald lookalike running around? This seems a rather unwieldy conspiracy.

Edited by a moderator.

How would Connally be able to know? I don't see how it is "obvious" that they were hit by separate bullets considering they were going behind a sign at the time. And what witnesses are those? Even if Ruby was in the hospital, that does not mean he planted a bullet.
