The cops ran right up the hill, there were no shots fired from the Grassy Knoll, no shooters, no one running away, no one hiding, no casings, no smell of discharged firearm, and from a forensics standpoint, no shots hit anyone in the car from the front.

It’s the Lee Harvey Oswald Manlicher Carcano Band featuring vocals from the Grassy Knolls!

After that band broke up, a couple of members who looked exactly alike started Single Bullet Theory, and their first single entered the charts at #411 with a Magic Bullet.

Don’t bother. I’ve read it. It’s BS.

Oswald was not a CIA agent, or anything other than the pathetic loser who shot JFK to win favor with the Cubans. All the crap that says otherwise since then is just that.

I think I still have the book at home. I’ll scan it over again. Maybe it’s not too bad. I was thinking it was one of those Oswald was a spy joke books.

Oswald wasn’t on the sixth floor, and he didn’t shoot Kennedy. There were at least three shooters, hired by LBJ, oil men, and possibly some Mafia figures.

Read: The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against JFK, by Roger Stone.

The story says he “...wrote a check for $710 as he made arrangements...” Sounds like $710 for the whole funeral.

Lynnette Fromme & Sarah Jane Moore were non-male would be assassins.

An argument can be made that the relatives showed no interest in the coffin for years, until they heard that money was going to be made on it. That would probably weigh in favor of it being abandoned property.

Also, at least in the rental business, you are usually only required to store unclaimed property for a certain length of time, and after that, there is going to be some procedure for the possessor to dispose of it, if it isn’t claimed.

“Legend”?

It’s a good read. He is not well regarded among the “conspiracy” community, they basically call him a “CIA mouthpiece”, but his research and logic is pretty solid, unlike a lot of the conspiracy books that are built on flimsy stuff.

He makes a good case that Oswald fit the profile of some kind of intelligence asset, but I think he stretches a bit when he concludes he had to be controlled by the Russians. Oswald might have worked for us, or both sides as a double agent of some sort, or simply have been some minor asset who went rogue, but he really doesn’t explore if the facts can fit those other scenarios much.

It’s a joke from the movie “Zoolander”.

I was making a joke from the movie “Zoolander”. They are going to brainwash Ben Stiller kill the President of Malaysia.

J.P. Prewitt (David Ducovney) warns them that all the famous assassins were actually male models. Of course that is not true it is just part of the silly movie plot.

Why is Oswald’s CIA debriefing after repatriating from Russia still redacted?

How did Oswald know to go to the only consulate in Europe that was issuing travel visas to the Soviet Union at that time, when the Ambassador was doing it secretly? How did Oswald know to change his travel plans specifically to go there during the very short window that this guy was breaking the rules and issuing those visas?

How did a former Soviet defector get a job working for a company that contracted to process classified satellite photos for the DIA?

Why did the Mexico City CIA field office lie to the FBI about Oswald’s visit and send them photos of someone other than Oswald? Why was Oswald apparently the only one visiting the Soviet and Cuban embassies there that wasn’t caught on the CIA team’s surveillance cameras?

I’m sorry, but something doesn’t add up here.

I don’t think anyone but Oswald did the actual shooting.

The real question is whether he was acting alone or was a “Patsy”.

Yeah, I think that is the real question too. All the “grassy knoll” stuff doesn’t pan out if you look at it critically. However, the weird stuff about Oswald’s life still remains unexplained.
