And Cronkite, during the newscast just knew it had to be a right-winger, mentioning ad nauseum how Adlai Stevenson was attacked in Dallas by "right-wingers" a few weeks before the assassination.

The official account has Oswald bringing the rifle in disassembled, then putting it back together on the sixth floor. This would have put the scope out of alignment. Oswald could have used the iron sights instead, but with a reduction in accuracy compared to a properly aligned scope. The official version assumes Oswald was so familiar with the rifle that he would have used the scope. Craig Roberts, a Marine sniper in Vietnam, thought the official version and the claimed shots were impossible. Absurdly, all the reenactments that I have seen use skilled shooters, sighted in rifles, and clean lines of sight without the tree limbs that obscured Oswald’s view.

And All sources gloss over that THE SHOT
that a Truely Sharp shooter would take
Is when the motorcade was coming
Straight at the Nest and slowing
down to make the left turn towards
The Triple Underpass.

It is possible that the reason that Trump delayed releasing all the material is because Poppy is still alive.


Yes. But why? Should a bad guy be revered just because he fooled us? Doesn’t he deserve justice?

And I hate the “country can’t take it” excuse.

I agree with what you say.

The shot you suggest — as the limo turned onto Elm — would have exposed the shooter at the sixth floor sniper’s perch to the direct view of hundreds of spectators.

But everyone in the limo would be
Terminated.

Then we would be deprived of knowing the unintentionally ironic last words said to John Kennedy before he was shot: “Mr. President, you can’t say Dallas doesn’t love you!” (By Nellie Connally).

You DO realize that JFK IS of the Deep State, right? How he wanted the UN to govern the world (I believe his exact words in September 25, 1961 were “For in the development of this organization [the United Nations] rests the only true alternative to war.” As far as I’m concerned, anyone who voices support for a Marxist institution like the United Nations is a supporter of the Deep State by default)? I don’t buy the claim that the Deep State wanted JFK dead, since that means shooting themselves in the foot. So no, while I absolutely loathe the Deep State and want it dead (seeing it as little different from Communism), I don’t buy the idea that they were involved in LHO’s spy actions, or heck, especially JFK’s murder. Now, maybe the U2 spy planes, especially if the Deep State was riddled with Marxists, I could buy, but definitely not JFK’s assassination.

And has it ever occurred to anyone that maybe, just maybe, LHO just decided to defect to the Soviet Union and was in fact an “illegal” agent? Or maybe that it was indeed Castro and/or Khrushchev who ordered for the hit? I don’t think the USSR would have bothered with creating a disinformation campaign literally overnight that pinned the blame on American right-wingers, CIA members, and even LBJ via Soviet plants? Ion Mihai Pacepa actually posits that view, and he’d actually know better than anyone, as he had brainstormed several Soviet disinformation campaigns during his time as a DIE agent prior to defecting to the United States. Heck, even Markus Wolfe, that East German spymaster, pointed squarely at Castro. And let’s not forget that LHO went to the Soviet and Cuban embassies to get a passport for those countries and was set to leave before then.

We could debate this for months.

You need to start with the history of the Kennedy family.

What we have there is an organized crime family. To look at them through the lens of ideology misses a lot.

The Kennedy assassination is best understood as a “Game of Thrones” with the intelligence agencies of different nations as “players”.

JFK was toast the minute his organized crime father had a stroke and could no longer protect him.

In the early days I believed it was a Castro/Soviet plot, but there is far too much evidence now that LBJ, the CIA, J Edgar Hoover, and organized crime plotted together to take him out of play.

The KGB had the capability to kill him, but they did not have the ability to cover up the crime (utilizing US major media) to this day.

“Operation Mockingbird”, the CIA infiltration of the US mass media, is the key here. The CIA has been running a multi-generational disinformation scheme against the American public.

The most clear and present danger to American liberties is our intelligence agencies, not Russian ones. That is the dirty little fact that is “eyes only, top secret”.

Don’t be so sure that the KGB or the Soviets can’t cover up its crimes or activities. Let’s not forget that the Soviets did manage to cover up their involvement in Katyn during World War II, with everyone at large believing the Nazis were responsible. Not to mention they largely avoided being open about promoting the anti-War stuff during Vietnam. Heck, they literally wrote the book on Soviet disinformation, as Ion Mihai Pacepa reported. And make no mistake, they DEFINITELY had to have some involvement in JFK’s assassination in order for them to pull off Operation Dragon, which detailed an extensive disinformation campaign personally funded by the Soviet Communist Party to pin the blame on JFK’s assassination on, what else? CIA agents, LBJ, oil barons, and right wingers, and hints of that got exposed with the Mithrokin Archives a while back. If they can pull off that disinformation campaign, they most certainly can pull off killing JFK. And bear in mind, they haven’t even attempted to pull a similar disinformation campaign with the Cuban Missile Crisis. And for the record, Ion Mihai Pacepa, a guy who, BTW, was responsible for a LOT of Soviet Disinformation campaigns, including Operation Dragon, Operation Ares, and even Operation Che prior to defecting to the West, made clear that the KGB also played various media outlets like a fiddle, like the New York Times, for example.

And for the record, I’m not looking through the lenses of ideology (I’m a Conservative, and while I do find JFK a bit more respectful of the Kennedy clan for actually making an effort to stop Communism, which is far more than can be said for Ted Kennedy especially, and even Robert Kennedy strongly voiced getting out of Vietnam and leaving it to be conquered by the Communists, I don’t hold particularly fond views of him at all). I’m just using common sense as well as using full knowledge of how Communists operate. Or are you going to naively claim that the Weathermen Underground had no involvement from the USSR, or that Che Guevara was a freedom fighter?
