Disinformation author Ion Pacepa, in my opinion, definitively says that Kruschev killed Kennedy through Oswald's rifle.

For the record, one of those “autopsy” photos, Jfk on the gurney, is from the movie JFK. The one right above the caption “Autopsy photos of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy” on that webpage: http://www.geocities.ws/jfktruth/

Actually, you’re close, what really reportedly happened is Oswald was dissatisfied that they would not give him a passport or that he would have to wait for some months and he said something like “I’ll go kill Kennedy then.”

“CD 1359. Warren Commission Document 1359 is based on the report of an informant code-named SOLO (Jack Childs, a high-level mole in the CPUSA). The informant reports Fidel Castro as having told him that when Oswald was refused a visa, he stormed out saying “I’m going to kill Kennedy for this.”

Lee Harvey Oswald murdered President Kennedy all by himself with an entirely suitable surplus military rifle.

He just thought it up and did it, having read that Kennedy's visit to Dallas would pass right by his place of employment.

Ever since then, the radical left wing has been making up ridiculous conspiracy theories to distract the American people through manufactured doubt that one of their fellow travelers murdered the President of the United States.

Kennedy was having an affair with a communist agent. The news was about to break.
If LBJ and the Democrats have Kennedy killed, then LBJ moves up a position to be President and the Democrat Party is saved.
If the Mafia has JFK killed, what do they get?
If the Cubans have JFK killed, what do they get?
If the Soviet Union has JFK killed, what do they get?
The last three face complete annihilation if they get caught doing something like this. And face it, what did the Mafia or Cuba or the Soviet Union have to fear from JFK?
The Democrat Party has made a lot of money over the years from their involvement with government. They had a tremendous interest in seeing Kennedy go away.
It’s like Benghazi.

There wasn't a president that fought communism for another 17 years.

I used to believe in all the conspiracies too. But the truth of the matter is Oswald was an angry loner who wanted attention. The one other success in his life , if you will, besides shooting and killing the President Of The United Sates, wounding the Governor of Texas and shooting and killing Dallas police officer J.D. Tippitt was that he became a United States Marine. You don’t become a United Sates Marine unless you can pick up that weapon and hit that target. Not ‘’close enough’’, no “Maggies Drawers’’, you have to hit that target dead on or it’s “Son, you might want to try the Army’’. Oswald did hit the target, he did earn the Globe And Anchor. So for that six or seven seconds in that sixth floor window he picked up that weapon and he hit the target. He didn’t need any help. Jack Ruby? One pissed off, angry America who took the law into his own hands.

I’m pretty sure LBJ sent American Soldiers to fight communists in Vietnam.

Ever since then, the radical left wing has been making up ridiculous conspiracy theories to distract the American people through manufactured doubt that one of their fellow travelers murdered the President of the United States.

I tend to agree Lee Harvey Oswald did it (and nobody need read all of the following, a general comment on the thread), he was into Russian stuff when he was a Marine like learning the language on his own and reading Russian publications, he got court-martialed, he'd been in trouble as a juvenile. He really did lie about a lot of things and unfortunately, he did beat his wife per the Warren Commission testimony and someone at one of the apartments where he lived once reported it to, landlord or police, I forget. Also, his alleged "Fair Play For Cuba" activities in New Orleans.

Then, if there were Conspirators, doesn't seem like any were ever seen with him. So, in the end, I think he had the make-up of someone who would do such a thing, along with the sad killing of Officer Tippit which has witnesses.

Must have been a crazy time, there are forums that talk about the JFK assassination to go into these issues more in depth and the conspiracies are too many and often too wild, the referred to link in one of the posts above seems to have a blurb that James Earl Raye did not kill MLK and I watched the special on James Files, I don't think he, who has confessed as well, did it either.

Just little that is convincing and I know, some people are hard-core JFK assassination conspiracy believers so I'm not really knocking that in general though some of the theories yes, are left-wing motivated.

Yep.

People get caught up in conspiracies because it just doesn't seem "right" or "plausible" that Oswald could have done it.

Oswald was in Mexico to get a Cuban passport. He was refused. This lifelong dream of his was the final straw.

His family had left him, his dream of a Cuban paradise was taken away.

He was a pathetic little Commie loser in everything in life.

He was going to show the world what a "pathetic man" can do.

Sorry to disappoint, but it's the truth.

People ask who "benefited" from the JFK assassination.

LBJ certainly did.

Oswald did too.

And everyone kept their mouths shut? There's always squeakers and croakers. If there was a conspiracy then you get a guy to kill the president(and why the wounding of a governor also, bad aim?) then you get a guy to kill the guy who killed the president. And then you get a guy to kill the guy who killed the guy who killed the president and on and on it goes until you're piling bodies up to Pluto.

Sorry. Not buying it. No body ever keeps their mouth shut about anything.

I agree. He bought the rifle by mail order using a phony name so that no clerk in a gun store could ever say, “Yup, that’s the man I sold the rifle to’’.

True. I'll admit that the first thing that Oswald would have (logically) done is crow to the world that he did it.

However Oswald was a devoted pinko Leninist.

After his arrest, he tried to contact some kookburger leftist attorney to represent him.

I think he WANTED a trial so he could spew his asinine beliefs and become a martyr or cause celebre like the Rosenbergs.

That's my theory anyway.

Frankly there are a boatload of things about the JFK assassination that will never make sense to me.

Still think Oswald acted alone.

Yet Oswald knew the route, and also ordered that gun months in advance.

"the route itself was not announced until days before JFK’s arrival in Dallas."

If the Mafia has JFK killed, what do they get?

Revenge for the rumored double-cross by the Kennedy family and the end of Bobby Kennedy as AG. Carlos Marcello certainly had the motivation and the means to do this. I don't know if the mob killed Kennedy but it is plausible IMO.

A former CIA payroll officer claimed that it was widely assumed among his CIA colleagues that Oswald had been a full–time employee of the agency: House Special Committee on Assassinations, Interview of James B. Wilcott, 22 March 1978.

Two weeks before Dallas, there was a plot to kill JFK during his motorcade ride in to Miami from a high building with a high-powered rifle.

“Former FBI Donald Adams was a young agent in 1963 and investigated threats made against Kennedy less than two weeks before the killing.

He even questioned one of the men in Georgia just days before the assassination, but Adams contends he was instructed by the FBI to ask him five innocuous questions and the man was released.

Long after Kennedy was shot to death, Adams said he learned the same man he questioned had been secretly tape recorded by an informant in Miami on Nov. 9, 1963 - 13 days before the murder.

Adams believes what he said is further evidence that others were plotting to kill Kennedy.

“He says we’re going to kill him from an office building with a high-powered rifle.”

Adams said a picture released in 1992 also shows that man looking at the president’s motorcade on that fateful day in Texas.

While Adams believes the man was part of the assassination plot, he believes others shot President Kennedy from the ground level, not from the book depository.”
