Because of Samadams 76 thread earlier:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3941981/posts

of what people would have thought about planes and contrails 200 years ago, what is one thing you would like to know about in history before you die.

I have several on my list.

1.How did the statues arrive on Easter Island.

2.How were structures built 1000's of years ago moving 100 ton stones into precise positions.

3. What was the purpose of the Nazca lines in Peru.

What puzzle would you like to know before you die.

‘The Mormon geneolgy library in Utah might be able to assist you.”

Thanks for reminding me about Mormon genealogy efforts. Once upon I knew about them but forgot.

At the moment I have many things to do of higher priority. But I’ll get a round tuit one of these days.

That all our relatives have accepted the LORD Jesus.
And a whole bunch of other things, but THAT one is of utmost importance.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD. Your spirit goes directly to Him (IF you’re a believer). Your actual body will have to wait “for the dead in Christ to rise”.

You’re correct, LBJ was responsible for the murder of Jack Kennedy with a little help from his friends. It was personal for LBJ (Kennedy intended to drop him from the ‘64 ticket and expose his involvement in several scandals: Billy Sol Estes, North American Aviation’s Navy Fighter boondoggle, and Bobby Baker’s ties to organized crime.)
For LBJ’s helpers the Joint Chiefs of Staff wanted to stop JFK from withdrawing from Vietnam. Kennedy had announced all US forces would be home before the end of 1964 with the first 1000 troops home before Christmas 1963.
The CIA planned the assassination in retaliation for JFK’s refusal to provide US air support during the Bay of Pigs fiasco and for firing both Allen Douglas, Director of Central Intelligence, and the Deputy Director, Charles P Cabell (brother of Dallas mayor Earle Cabell) and the for the shut down of CIA’s planned follow-up invasion of Cuba: Second Naval Gorilla. Kennedy intended to ‘splinter the CIA into a 1000 pieces and scatter it to the winds.’
Big oil provided resources and funding because JFK intended to end the Oil Depletion Allowance in his second term.
The mob wanted revenge for JFK’s betrayal. They had supported him in both the Democrat Primary Election and in the General Election and expected at least a level of benign neglect, if not outright protection, from indictment, for their efforts to rig the West Virginia Primary and Illinois in the General. Mob bosses were outraged that Attorney General Robert Kennedy was on a nationwide crusade against organized crime so they decided to help CIA cut off the snake’s head.
The Secret Service was also deeply involved in facilitating the assassination. They changed the venue for JFK’s speech so they could reroute the motorcade in order not only bring Kennedy to Dealey Plaza but also to slow the Presidential limousine to 15 MPH so the assassins would have an easy target. (Standard protection protocols demanded minimum speeds of at least 45 MPH in open top seating situations and that all windows overlooking the motorcade route be closed. Further, protection protocols required an omnipresent military security force dispersed among the crowd. The Secret Service enforced none of these clear standards on November 22nd 1963. Nor did the SS car maintain a 4 foot distance behind the President’s limo as specified in standard protection protocols, nor were SS personnel stationed on the rear of Kennedy’s limo on special bumper steps with hand holds installed on the trunk (protecting the President from being shot from behind) as the limo slowed to make an acute left turn under the open windows of the Texas School Book Depository (owned by a member of Big Oil). Incidentally, when the first audible shots rang out only one SS officer, Clint Hill, reacted by jumping off the chase car’s running boards and sprinting to aid the stricken President. He was also a last minute addition to the SS Presidential Protection Detail. Clint Hill was Jackie Kennedy’s favorite SS man, she trusted him, and she had refused to accompany her husband to Texas without Hill there to protect them.
FBI was also involved in the assassination up to Hoover’s chinny chin chin. Before the assassination in grooming Lee Oswald to be the designated ‘patsy’ and later to controle evidence and intimidate witnesses to the Warren Investigation. (What was on the note Oswald left at Dallas FBI headquarters addressed to Special Agent Hosty, and why did Hosty later destroy that evidence, tear it up and flush it down the toilet? Isn’t that an obvious felony, and an especially egregious one given its likely bearing on the accusation that Oswald was actually working undercover for the FBI, or thought he was?
And, there’s so much more, but it’s late, I’m tired and few readers are going to get this far anyway. So, enough for now. I’ve been at this since that awful day when when the USA ceased to be the land of the free. The origins of almost all our present day problems and be traced back to the coup d’etat that murdered a sitting President and launched the Vietnam War.
Anyone who swallows the yarn about Lee Oswald being the ‘lone assassin’ just hasn’t done his homework. The only people who believe the Warren Report are those who haven’t read it.
PS: Just for fun, take note that in the entire world history of high level political assassinations Lee Oswald is the only alleged assassin to have made his getaway on a city bus.
As for the murder of Vince Foster I can’t say for sure, but I’d put money on Hillary in a NY second.
