I like the part where the assassin was assassinated.
“The book describes the defection of Oswald, a trained marksman, Marine, and fluent Russian speaker, to the USSR for two-and-a-half years, and his trouble-free return to the US with bride Marina, niece of a high-ranking KGB officer, at the height of the Cold War. (The implication is that Oswald had friends in high plac”es).”
It was my understanding that close relatives of high ranking KGB officers or high ranking military intelligentce officers were not permitted to leave the USSR back in the early 1960’s. I think Marina’s uncle was in some branch of military intelligence and was not a KGB agent. In any case I have always been troubled by the fact that the Oswalds were allowed to leave the USSR unless the intelligence services wanted them to go!
The facts are that Oswald was a above average shot. The range was between 60 to 90 yards, firing three rounds in four to eight seconds, on a slowly moving target. U.S. ammunition companies tended to load undersized bullets for the Carano's 6.5mm caliber. Using surplus military ammunition the Carcano is just as accurate as the bolt action service rifles of its era. Using a bolt action Oswald only had to work the bolt twice. So he was a trained shooter, using a scoped rifle, with a sling, and properly sized bullets.
For Oswald to have acted alone is entirely possible and based on all the evidence, probable.
Sam Giancana, Santo Traficante and the CIA took out JFK. Payback for Cuba, the Bay of Pigs and Robert Kennedy as Attorney General going after the mob.
Showed what one motivated Marine and his rifle can do.
Specter was a POS who was expecting payback for his role in that Warren Commission BS, on the order of what Gerald Ford received.
I for 1 am so very pleased that asshole is dead. He had no morale compass whatsoever.
Yep, that is the one. It surely wasn’t on an airplane. It seems LBJ and the man winking are happy. The shape of LBJ’s cheek seems to indicate a smile.
G*dd*mm!t! Why is the New York Post dredging up this bu!!$h!+ again???
For years it was said Kennedy survived the shooting and spent the last days of his life on Aristole Onassis’ island.
When he died he was buried at sea.
HOWEVER, years later came photos of JFK laying on a gurney well dead in Dallas.
Some people will believe anything.
Oswald had to die. Some speculate Tippett was killed because it was assumed Dallas PD would not let a fleeing cop killer survive resisting arrest.
Compare a picture of Tippit to JFK, side by side.
And yet, from a rested position, shooting at a stationary target about 100' (not yards), using the exact same rifle, he missed General Walker.
LOL, ain’t no way he survived that head shot. He was dead in the car long before he even made it to Parkland.
Sounds like the guy’s made a career out of it.
I was barely aware of the English language at that point.
The Oliver Stone movie was horse shit.
Amazing the shot missed Gen Walker. I never knew this stuff.
“The Commie did it. End of story.” said the useful idiot.
1968 House Select Committee on Assassinations (not the spurious, conducted by the very questionable characters of the Warren Commission) concluded there was a conspiracy to assassinate JFK and Oswald was not the lone assassin.
You can’t actually get to the window at the book depository building in Dallas that Oswald used, it’s blocked off. I did stand at the window next to it once and I, former high school rifle team member, could have made at least one of those shots. I think a trained Marine rifleman could have made all three.
Dealey plaza is a tiny patch of cityscape, barely more than an intersection. I don’t know who else might have been involved but anyone who tries to tell you that the shots were impossible has never shot a bolt-action rifle
