This is a comment that is on the YouTube video given in the link.
I worked for an emergency door repair service in the year 2000, I got a call to go fix a garage door in a suburb of Memphis Tn.The man who opened the door was a very fit, silver haired guy who looked like a retired executive. He showed me the garage door and stoof by while I repaired it.
I stared making small talk while I work. I asked him what kind of work he did and he told me he was a retired FBI agent. Not only that, he said he was over the entire southeastern division of the FBI.
So I decided to make a joke and I asked him since he was a FBI agent, maybe he could tell me who killed Kennedy.
He looked at me and without missing a beat said, Lyndon Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover had him killed.
I was speechless. I thought, this guy is nuts.
Well I didn't say a whole lot more until I went in his study so he could write me a check. I looked around and his walls were covered with diplomas and pictures of the guy at the FBI academy and with politicians, Lamar Alexander was one.
I said, look I just have to ask you something. He stopped me and said, you don't believe it,do you?
He knew what I was going to say.
He said, do you have time for a cup of coffee? I said, I'll make time. We went into kitchen and he made me a cup of sanka instant coffee and proceeded to tell me the whole story. It took about 30-40 minutes. After I left, I went home and told my wife and forgot about it for 18 years.
Then I saw a thing on YouTube and there was a writer selling a book about Johnson, Hoover and Kennedy.
The guy said exactly what the FBI guy said to me 18 years before. The guy who wrote the book was Roger Stone.
I was totally blown away.
Now, I know some people will say, why would a retired FBI agent tell me, a nobody, these things?
That's a good question, I don't know why he did.
Maybe he felt like getting it off of his chest.
But what I'm saying is the truth.
He went into some details that I don't feel like writing about. That day I lost all confidence in our government.
Fair enough but none of that satisfactorily explains where the shooter was if he wasn't in an elevated position to the rear of the presidential limo.
One other possibility is that J. Edgar Hoover gave LBJ the “full briefing”.
“This is a picture of a fake Oswald at the Cuban embassy in Mexico given to me the CIA. You can use it to claim Russian involvement if you need to fool anyone.”
Tell me how so that I'll be better able to deal with it.
He was on the grassy knoll.
Dozens of people ran toward the grassy knoll, including at least one member of the Dallas PD, toward what they perceived as the direction of one of the shots. There was a puff of smoke visible too. Many eyewitnesses saw it.
The grassy knoll was at the top of a somewhat steep grade. That slowed the crowd down.
There’s another theory that a shooter was inside a storm drain, ahead of the limo. There is such a storm drain there, but how true that component of the story is, I don’t know.
People who were present described four shots, two of which are almost simultaneous, but coming from different directions.
The other key grassy knoll data point is that when the folks ran up towards the top of the knoll they were greeted by Secret Service agents who showed identification and explained that everything was under control.
Of course there were no secret service agents at the top of the grassy knoll that day.
Yes, and the evidence given by the (unfortunately deaf-mute) Ed Hoffman, who saw a man toss the rifle he was carrying to another man who was dressed as a railroad employee; that man then breaks the rifle down and stows it in a toolbox.
Mr Hoffman's testimony comes across as shaky because of his physical infirmity. Given the prejudices of the time, it was easy for law enforcement to dismiss him. But I've listened to him several times, and to me he comes across as mentally sound, and articulate, and intelligent.
There were people present on the grassy knoll who were combat veterans also. They described one or more rounds passing near them, and said they recognized the sensation from their own experience.
So do you doubt them too? Their testimony was contemporary, and on film.
Understood, and I thank for pointing me to the LBJ tapes but still, we have our opinions.
I agree there is a lot of wierdness especially concerning Jack Ruby but at the time, the Mafia controlled the vice industry and as such had valuable information concerning activities by officials that would be blackmailable. Therefore, the KGB, Stassi, etc would have wanted contacts within the Mafia in order to access such information about blackmailable officials.
Never-the-less, my opinion is strongly tied to the most likely location of the shooter and what is known about Oswald and my opinion allows that Oswald may have been just a hard core Communist who acted alone.
Eyewitness testimony can be highly unreliable with each eyewitness firmly believing what they experienced.
The grassy knoll was at the top of a somewhat steep grade. That slowed the crowd down.
Yet how does that explain no one on the left side of the vehicle being struck nor the left side of the vehicle being struck by the plunging bullets? Nor does it explain Connelley's wounds to the back, chest and wrist.
There’s another theory that a shooter was inside a storm drain, ahead of the limo. There is such a storm drain there, but how true that component of the story is, I don’t know.
If the bullets were travelling upwards, how then does that explain downward plunging bullet damage to the interior of the limo as well as Connelley's wounds?
People who were present described four shots, two of which are almost simultaneous, but coming from different directions.
There were multiple shots in a short period of time but even one shot can sound like multiple shots due to echo.
Ironic, since JFK would be somewhere slightly to the right of President Trump, if he were alive today. He wouldn't even be allowed in the Democrat party, I'm quite sure.
Ruby’s public statement was that he killed Oswald to avenge Jackie.
Ruby also made it clear he was convinced that LBJ would pardon him. Somebody must have told him that.
His private statement (to his rabbi) was that he did it for the Jewish people.
All data points—you can make of them what you will.
I’m not extrapolating any more than you are.
And my extrapolations are just repeating what witnesses said. You’re are coming from your imagination. You were no more present than I was.
No doubt there is a lot of wierdness here with Ruby. But I have to believe that if the grand LBJ-Deep State conspiracy was true, Ruby would have quickly been Epsteined.
True—but the left mantra of the time was that JFK was the peacemaker hated by the military industrial complex, Texas oilmen etc.
This was best demonstrated in the 1973 movie “Executive Action”:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Action_(film)
Will Geer was his usual amazing self in that movie.
You can watch it for free on Youtube if you wish:

‘Big Picture’ Veiw FRiend.
Who could alter the parade Route or murder
Oswald or botch the autopsy or manipulate Film ,witnesses or Grand Juries?
.
You’ve got the ammo how about the
Rifle Twist Rate?
So if two were due to echoes, and the other two were not from echoes... there were at least two shooters.
Thanks for those links. I vaguely remember that movie, but I never saw it.
Will Geer is the ultimate evil conspirator—in Executive Action and the other conspiracy classic Brotherhood of the Bell.
Whereas you are coming from which facts??
How is analyzing photos, video and an understanding of ballistics imagination?
You were no more present than I was.
No but I can study the photos and video and apply my knowledge of ballistics to determine likely location(s) for the shooter.
I can also study what is known of Oswald, apply my knowledge of Marxism and compare all of that against the evidence and alternative theories.
I can apply my understanding of the media and take note that the media and Hollywood go to great lengths to never mention communism when discussing the JFK assassination.
‘Hard Core Commie Lone Wolf’
.
I Believe Oswald and He Said a Dozen Times
“He Was A Patsy!”
.
If he was this Commie WHY Didn’t he Yell it from the Roof Tops that He Single Handedly took Out the Leader of the Free World!?!
