The Texas police officer handcuffed to Lee Harvey Oswald when he was fatally shot at Dallas police headquarters two days after the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, died Thursday at age 99, according to family.

Former Dallas police Detective Jim Leavelle was transporting Oswald to the Dallas County Jail when the assassin was suddenly shot on live television by nightclub owner and police informant Jack Ruby at point-blank range on Nov. 24, 1963.

Karla Leavelle, daughter of the retired detective, confirmed her father's death to FOX 4 Dallas.

In other words, the big lies did NOT start in 2016, they were telling huge lies in 1963. It’s so easy to fool nitwit lawyers like Bugliosi and fools like Possner. people like them and they along with the presstitutes will work 24/7/365 to convince the public the impossible happened!

The FBI is our own version of the Pretorian Guard The Pretorian Guard become corrupt to the extent they felt it was their right to control who became Emperor and to kill those who opposed them, including killing Emperors who threaten their power. This went on for awhile, and then Rome fell.

From Oswalds lips,
“I am a Patsy!”

So who killed Detective Jim Leavelle?
Was it a nurse or a mob guy or the CIA?
Start writing the books!

It was done by an LA deejay and actor named George Mahlberg sometime in the mid-90s. He photoshopped himself into the picture, behind the "keyboardist."

I read an interview with him once where he said he was looking at the picture of Oswald being shot, and thought he had a "blues face." And so "In a-Gadda-da-Oswald," the greatest Photoshop ever, was born.

Indeed. I used to share it on Facebook every anniversary of JFK’s death. Few of my friends saw the humor in it that I did.

The Dead Kennedys logo in the background is a nice touch.

I was being partially satirical

The tall one definitely resembled Harrelson

The biggest weirdness is Oswald’s dealings with folks belong to groups that wanted Kennedy paid back for not living up to his fathers ends for vote help

Marcelo in New Orleans and Ruby killing him

And the choice of the John Birch city

Then again Oswald was a wacko

Oswald didn’t have dealings with Marcelo or Ruby. He moved to Dallas because that’s where his family lived.

‘Oswaldovich’ is what his fellow Marines at El Toro had nicknamed him in honor of the stream of Communist claptrap that he was constantly spouting.

This was before he emigrated to what he thought was going to be the worker’s paradise of the Soviet Union. I guess that experience disillusioned him a bit, since he switched allegiance to Castro’s Cuba when he returned to the States.

What most people may not realize is that Oswald hadn’t been arrested for killing Kennedy. He had been arrested for the murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit, who had pulled his police cruiser alongside Oswald to question him some 45 minutes after Kennedy was shot. Oswald pulled out a revolver and shot Tippit four times, killing him.

That sounds like Son Of Rush To Judgement.

“Rush to Judgment” was the first book to attack the Warren Commission as not believable. It kick started conspiracy theories that still live today.

It was written by Mark Lane, a lawyer with the National Lawyers Guild, a Communist party front group that dated back the 1930s. It was in their interest to divert attention from Comrade Oswaldovich and onto the CIA, American politicians, the Birch Society, and anyone but the loudmouth communist sympathizer who pulled the trigger.

Really? Then how did the bullet hit Connelly at the same angle as Kennedy, and lodge in his thigh? The Rossetta stone to the entire assassination is J.D. Tippets killing. He can scream patsy all he wants, but the facts are Oswald worked in the building where the shots came from, he was the only employee missing when the building was sealed. Tippet was killed with Oswald gun that he had on his person in the Texas theatre when he was caught, and tried to use the same gun to shoot another cop when he was confronted and arrested in the theatre. Oh and the manlicher rifle was bought by, photographed with and found in the building that Oswald worked at....oh, and no curtain rods were ever found that Oswald said he had when he went to work. Patsy that! Case closed.
