They lie about a lot of things including the JFK assignation.

Yeah, and they lied about the assassination too! LOL! :^)

I used to believe that it was a conspiracy. I don't anymore. More recent analysis vindicates the single bullet theory. Oswald did it, alone. We just can't seem to accept that a simple radical could get the job done against the POTUS. That was 1963 though, and if JFK had the the top on the limo, he wouldn't have died....Let it go!

I don't know.... the Zapruder film seems to prove that there was more than one shooter. But engaging in JFK assassination conspiracy talk generally leads one down the rabbit hole.

Kerry and Rangel were both not Marines. Nuf said! LOL!

They each served in the US military fighting communists, no? Yet look at where they are today. Kerry was actually in bed with communist revolutionary groups and individuals while he was still in the service!

What do you know about the Rifle Oswald used? My guess is not much and it’s why you believe Oswald was the lone gunner.

Furthermore, when Kennedy’s head explodes notice he goes back and left. Going back and left is a BIG clue that the shot did not come from behind. Now you don’t have to be an expert here to know that if you shoot someone they are going to go in direction of the bullet and towards where it came from.

Does anyone know where an MP3 version of this audio file can be found?

For anyone interested Lew Rockwell has a podcast MP3 interview with Don Adams, an FBI agent assigned to investigate threats to JFK and later assigned to the investigation of his assassination. It's episode #170 at the following link:

Ignoring Oswald's communist links, journalists and political leaders quickly claimed the president was a martyr to civil rights. Earl Warren said that Kennedy had "suffered martyrdom as a result of the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our nation by bigots."

Mayor Bloomberg said he'd "wager" that the guy who put a bomb loaded van in Times Square last year was probably a middle aged white guy who was upset with the Obama administration over Obamacare.

And their first dragnet was for such a heavyset man, not the muslim terrorist who actually bought the vehicle on craigslist, loaded it with explosives, and tried to flee the country.

I used to believe that it was a conspiracy. I don't anymore.

I had a wait-and-see attitude. What I gathered of the conspiracy theories was that they all could be made convincing.

"...if the United States were to set a date for withdrawal the prisoners of war would be returned."-J.F. Kerry

"Under questioning from the Committee, Kerry referred to the democratically elected government of South Vietnam -- our allies -- as a "dictatorial regime, the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime," while respectfully calling the North Vietnamese communist regime we were fighting by its oxymoronic official name, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the murderous Viet Cong's political arm by their preferred "Provisional Revolutionary Government.":
http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/chavez042804.asp
___________________________________________________________

June, 1970 -- Kerry joins Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), a national veterans group that is part of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. The PCPJ is a broad coalition of local and national organizations, including the Communist Party, USA, "committed to conducting demonstrations aimed at ending the war in Indochina, and poverty, racism and injustice at home." The VVAW, CCI and PCPJ all have headquarters at 156 Fifth Avenue in New York City. VVAW Executive Secretary Al Hubbard, a former Black Panther, is also on the coordinating committee of the PCPJ. Hubbard soon appoints Kerry to the VVAW's Executive Committee, bypassing the normal election process.

Fact: The Black Panthers were revolutionary communists...

From the Maoist Internationist Movement:
[1960s/original] Black Panther Party [BPP] Archives
From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROS

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [i.e., the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

I am in the same boat. I used to believe the stories, yet when held up to facts, it points that a lone loser did this.

Do you know what WIKI means? Anyone can edit it.

Nevertheless, I would not expect it to say anything else. What do you think it’s going to say he was working for the CIA? After all we always know who works for the CIA. It’s not as if that is kept a secret or anything.

Perhaps some people on here have trouble with this? I get that. Let me break it down this way. If you had a friend or business, that you know lies to you, then would you believe what they are saying all the time?

Bottom line is this. Our federal government is corrupt as hell. Do you really feel they are servants of the people or of foreign nations. I know you already know this. It has been that way for quite some time. The people I trust are not politicians, the media or the press. Because most of them (above 50%) are shallow and very short sited.

TV = Tell A Vision (a lie not the truth)

The people I put my faith in are the everyday people I know that have nothing to gain and everything to lose. For instance, they were career military with a clean record, etc... That is just me. Each to their own.

I have no idea of *who* killed JFK, if the killing was ordered by someone directing the assassin(s). However, I have an interesting twist on the motivation of *why* JFK was assassinated.

Here is a logical chain of information, all of which is established fact.

1) Among his many medical conditions, JFK suffered from Addison’s Disease. It is an insufficiency of the adrenal gland and can be very serious. It can also cause a distinct change in the appearance of the skin which can be seen at a distance and is unique to that disease. This can even be seen today in pictures and movies made of JFK, and would be familiar to physicians familiar with Addison’s, who could diagnose his condition solely by his appearance.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addison’s_disease

2) For many years, the only effective treatment for Addison’s Disease was large doses of cortisone, which for years had been prohibitively expensive except for the wealthy. Kennedy retainers had placed quantities of this and other drugs in safe deposit boxes around the country, in case JFK traveled somewhere without a convenient supply available. However, in the decade or so before his death, a drug company had finally managed to synthesize an inexpensive version of cortisone, so it was now widely available.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortisone

3) Due to its availability, cortisone was soon accepted as a “wonder drug”, useful for treating many medical conditions. As such, it became known to the public, and was widely advertised. However, at the time, there was a *mistaken* belief in the medical community that large doses of cortisone could cause serious psychiatric side effects.

4) Then, in 1956, James Mason, one of Hollywood’s top actors, then at the peak of his career, made a terrifying movie called “Bigger Than Life”.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049010/

In it, he played a gentleman schoolteacher who becomes gravely ill, and is prescribed cortisone pills for his ailment. It helps his illness, but as he takes more of the pills, it turns him into a raving and murderous paranoid. Mason was a superb actor, and his portrayal was “electrifying”. Even today it is a frightening movie.

5) Based on the deployment of US nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey in 1961, the Soviet Union responded by placing missiles in Cuba in 1962, resulting in a US blockade and the Cuban Missile Crisis in October of that year. This made America intensely aware that even a slight miscalculation could result in nuclear war at any time. That JFK had his “finger on the trigger” to start World War III.

6) So, add these elements together:

JFK’s skin condition is noted, and when asked, a physician informs *someone* that JFK has Addison’s Disease, for which the treatment is large amounts of cortisone. Further, it is volunteered that large doses of cortisone *may* cause mental imbalance (again, this is not true, but was believed by doctors at the time.)

Cortisone is known to the public as a drug, but the only thing known to the public about the “possible” side effects of cortisone are shown in the movie Bigger Than Life, in a very dramatic and frightening fashion.

And the public has recently been terrified by the Cuban Missile Crisis, and are very aware that JFK has his “finger on the trigger.”

A man who may be stark raving paranoid insane. A president who could start World War III for any, or no, reason.

It is not hard to imagine that someone of the time, fearing this scenario, would consider it better if Lyndon Johnson was president.
