If not for Ruby, Oswald might have finally found the “real killers.”

Alaska Senator Hollis French (D) has just issued an inquiry as to the whereabouts of Governor Palin during the Kennedy assasination. French hopes to have subpoeneas issued by the middle of the week.

"Our research showed it could have been two or more."

...and monkeys could fly out of by ass, but they don't. Do these people have anything better to do with their time? I guess not.

“Our research showed it could have been two or more.

“And if it is more than two, there is an increased likelihood that someone else provided one of them.

And if it was more than 20, there is an increased likelihood that the shooting happened in DC /s

Not this crap again. This crime is SOLVED.

Oswald is as Guilty as O.J. for anyone who takes the time to READ, and not just the kook crap.

P.S. I LOVE Oliver Stone’s JFK - One of the best BLACK COMEDY’S (unintentional) EVER. EVERYONE is involved in the conspiracy, it’s a RIOT!!!

Lee Harvey Oswald
From wikipedia (with references at site) :

Around the age of fifteen, he became an ardent Marxist solely from his private reading on the topic. He wrote in his diary, "I was looking for a key to my environment, and then I discovered socialist literature. I had to dig for my books in the back dusty shelves of libraries."[13] At 16 he wrote to the Socialist Party of America, stating that he was a Marxist who had been studying socialist principles for "well over fifteen months," and asked for information about their youth league.[14]

While in the Marines, Oswald was trained in the use of the M1 Garand rifle. Following that training, he was tested in December of 1956, and obtained a score of 212, which was 2 points above the minimum for qualifications as a sharpshooter. In May 1959, on another range, Oswald scored 191, which was 1 point over the minimum for ranking as a marksman.[17]

Small and frail compared to the other Marines, he was nicknamed Ozzie Rabbit after the cartoon character. His shyness and Soviet sympathies alienated him from his fellow Marines. Ostracism only seemed to provoke him into being a stauncher, more outspoken communist. For his steadfast beliefs, his nickname ultimately became Oswaldskovich.

Life in the Soviet Union

In October 1959, Oswald immigrated to the Soviet Union. He was nineteen, and the trip was planned well in advance. Along with having taught himself rudimentary Russian, he had saved $1,500 of his Marine Corps salary,[19] got an early "hardship" discharge by (falsely) claiming he needed to care for his injured mother,[20] got a passport, and submitted several fictional applications to foreign universities in order to obtain a student visa (and possibly help avoid Marine Corps reserve duty).

After spending only three days with his mother in Fort Worth, he departed by ship from New Orleans on September 20, 1959, for the Soviet Union, first arriving in Le Havre in France, then to London,England and eventually Oswald to a Finnair flight to Helsinki, Finland as part of a package tour. Oswald landed to Helsinki airport in October 10 at 23.30 a.m. he registered at the Hotel Torni but two days later , he moved to the Kurki Hotel.Oswald applied for a visa at the embassy on October 12, his first business day in Helsinki. Oswalds visa was issued on October 14. It was valid until October 20 and permitted him to take one trip of not more than 6 days to the Soviet Union. He left from Helsinki Central Railway Station by train next day on October 15 to Moscow and when he crossed the Finnish-Russian border at Vainikkala, he arrived to Moscow on October 16." [21] When he arrived in the Soviet Union and showed up unexpectedly at the Embassy in Moscow, he said he wanted to renounce his U.S. citizenship.[22][23] When the Navy Department learned of this, it changed Oswald's Marine Corps discharge from "hardship/honorable" to "undesirable."[24]

Oswald told a reporter in Moscow, "For two years I've had it in my mind, don't form any attachments, because I knew I was going away. I was planning to divest myself of everything to do with the United States."[25] To another reporter he said, "I would not consider returning to the United States," and referred to the Soviet government as "my government."[26] His wish to remain in the Soviet Union was initially applauded by the Soviets, but although he had some technical knowledge acquired in the Marines they soon discovered he had little of real value to offer the Soviet Union and his application for Soviet residency was rejected.[27] In response, Oswald made a bloody but minor cut to his left wrist in his hotel room bathtub. After bandaging his superficial injury, the cautious Soviets kept him under psychiatric observation at the Botkin Hospital.[28][29] Although this attempt may have been no more than an attention-getting ruse, the Soviet government feared an international incident if he were to attempt something similar again.

New Orleans

Oswald returned to New Orleans, arriving on the morning of April 25, 1963 looking for work. After Oswald got a job as a machinery greaser with the Reily Coffee Company in May, Marina was driven there by family friend Ruth Paine. Oswald was fired for inefficiency and dereliction of duty on July 19.

During this period, Oswald began to consider returning to the Soviet Union or going to Cuba.[57] He had Marina write to the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C. about the possibility of their returning to the Soviet Union.[58] His Marxist ideals became focused on Fidel Castro and Cuba and he soon became a vocal pro-Castro advocate.

I have two of these cartridges. The shellcase is constructed of brass and has the headstamp WCC 6.5mm

The bullet is a round nose, full metal jacket type with a lead alloy core and gilding metal jacket. They are quite unlike the Italian version of the round which had an aluminum core in the bullet nose. The Italian bullet jackets usually were nickel-plated.

Subject ammunition was made by Western Cartridge Company (which owned Winchester) circa 1953. The ammunition was made on a U.S. military contract DA-23-196-ORD-27.

Soon after Italy received the ammunition, they decided to adopt the NATO 7.62x51mm cartridge and sold the surplus ammunition to Kliens Sporting Goods in Chicago. That is where Lee Harvey Oswald purchased his rifle and ammunition. There is no physical means available to distinguish these rounds with the ones that Oswald used. They could have come from the same box.
