Pompeo was CIA for a very short time; I’m guessing the old guard at the CIA played him like a fiddle. As the final words in the movie, The Good Shepherd, say, “Can you imagine, they think they can take a look in our closet; as if we’ll let them”.
Make the drive that the limo took. Oswald is on the 5th floor shooting a quartering shot with significant declination. A difficult shot even at 200 yds. The limo was driving towards the grassy knoll which is a direct incoming at less than 150 yds. Much easier
‘Direct Incoming”
Well said as I spent a day at that site and At that Very Window.
.
The Only thing Oswald said after the shooting was “I’m a Patsy” which is bizarre given He a ‘Commie’ took out the
Leader of the Free World.
I remember it well. I was in Chicago where I had volunteered to work at
republican National Committee where I called people asking them to donate money. Though I was in my early 20s, I did such an outstanding job that the state chairman invited me to lunch to offer me a permanent job.
While having lunch, we heard announcer Walter Cronkite on tv that was over the bar saying that Kennedy had been shot. Chairman left immediately together home to his family, and I was devastated too. We wanted tp beat him in politics, but liked and admired him, didn’t want him dead.
End of my career in Politics. Probably a good thing, rough game for a woman.
Thank you for that information. You have convinced me. Some of the “women’s rights” initiatives initially seemed like a positive to me, but then I realized that they resulted in a world in which two wage earners are required to support a family, which has all but destroyed the family unit throughout the country.
And the immigration policies you described have only watered down what was once the greatest culture the world has known. We have imported the Third World, and now we’re being swallowed by it.
I concur.
I've come around on JFK. By today's low standards he'd be considered an arch-conservative member of congress. He was against communism, he didn't want to engage US military in places we don't belong or allow the CIA to engage in covert wars and assassinations worldwide, and for cutting taxes and he meant all of it and proved it. Find me some GOP member you truly trust... TRULY ... to actually support that now. They all say it but when it really matters 9 times out of 10 they shaft us , all of them.
But over time you can bet JFK would have ‘evolved’, we were still relatively conservative when he was in the White House, but remember, that his ‘baby’ was the Immigration Bill, that ultimately led to the fundamental transformation of this country.

As post 40 hints at, JFK is one of those leaders that the more you look into him the more disenchanted you become.
Even JFK’s military service which over the last 70 years has made him one of America’s greatest World War II heroes with many movies and books and countless references to and even countless school books describing his service has elevated him to one of the greatest combat heroes in American history.
What is interesting is that no one can name the combat heroism medal or medals, that he received, and no one can give the WWII records of the other 3 men in the 1960 race Nixon, Johnson and Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.
He was the ultimate Nepo Baby.
bkmk
There was no magic needed for any bullet. Everyone knew that by 2000.
First bullet hit the traffic arm, careened off and hit a curb stone, a fragment of the curb wounded a bystander James Tague who was standing almost underneath the overpass Kennedy’s car was heading towards.
Second bullet went through Kenndy’s back/neck and entered Connoly’s back, ricocheted around his body, off his rib and went into his thigh where from it later fell out onto the stretcher.
Third bullet entered the back of Kenndy’s head and exploded his head.
Proven 10 different ways.
In 1960 4 veterans were on the ballot, JFK and Nixon, and their veep candidates.
Nixon was a respected Navy Lt. Commander in the Pacific.
LBJ as a Navy Lt. Commander was awarded a silver Star.
Henry Cabot Lodge was a big-time hero and Nixon’s running mate.
“Lodge was a major in the 1st Armored Division. That tour ended in July 1942, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered congressmen serving in the military to resign one of the two positions, and Lodge, who chose to remain in the Senate, was ordered by Secretary of War Henry Stimson to return to Washington.
After returning to Washington and winning re-election in November 1942, Lodge went to observe allied troops serving in Egypt and Libya, and in that position was on hand for the British retreat from Tobruk.
Lodge served the first year of his new Senate term, but then resigned his Senate seat on February 3, 1944 in order to return to active duty, the first U.S. Senator to do so since the Civil War. He saw action in Italy and France.
Promoted to lieutenant colonel, in the fall of 1944 Lodge single-handedly captured a four-man German patrol. By March 1945 he was decorated with the French Legion of Honor and Croix de Guerre with palm. His American decorations included the Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star Medal. At the end of the war in 1945 he served as a liaison and interpreter to U.S. Sixth Army Group commander General Jacob Devers in Devers’ surrender negotiations with the German forces in western Austria.
After the war Lodge returned to Massachusetts and resumed his political career. He continued his status as an Army Reserve officer and rose to the rank of major general.”
Just some of the evidence that the CIA killed JFK includes:
1) He stated intention to destroy them.
2) They were angry about the Castro events.
3) They have no moral code other than self advancement.
“LBJ as a Navy Lt. Commander was awarded a silver Star.”
A participation medal, for surviving 1 congressional tour.
LOL, the most baffling Silver Star ever awarded, the Army Air crew who were flying the plane with LBJ along as a passenger never figured out how the no combat mission that developed problems and returned to base resulted in such heroism.
Not with a crappy Italian bolt action, at a moving target.
Not moving that much, and duplicated with the same gun.
“He needs to get Bannon and Gorka back on his team.”
That is so true! Also Flynn and Navarro (if he it isn’t Epsteined).
