So allegedly Oswald and Ruby met two months before the assassination, and discussed offing JFK because the Mafia wanted RFK out of being the Attorney General

This “letter” is probably nonsense. Nevertheless, after having read around a hundred books on the assassination, I remain convinced there was a conspriacy.

Posner’s book “Case Closed” has been severely debunked by a number of authors. Kennedy was living a wreckless personal life in the early sixties (cultural fifties), being blackmailed into supporting the TFX jetfighter, among other things.

When he refused to close the deal on Castro at the Bay of Pigs he was a marked man. I cannot convince you with this post, I know that, if you are intersted you need to do the reading.

One fact new to me I found out just last year: Kenny O’Donnel, JFK’s close personal friend and aid was in the car behind him; O’Donnel told the FBI at Parkland hospital that he was certain some shots came from the front. The FBI told him he was mistaken. He was also told if he kept to that story he would just make trouble for the family.

O’Donnel drank himself to death.

So does this mean Ruby and Oswald "practiced" BEFORE the "gig"?

Seems like if they wanted him gone, they could have just killed him.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why didn't they just shoot RFK?

There are several conspiracy theories involving the mafia. The two that I remember best have a common source.

Carlos Marcello in New Orleans had been picked up of the street in NO after the justice department lost in court trying to convict or deport him. The agents took him to Guatemala and let him go up in the hills without money or ID. He made his way back to NO. As illustrated in the mish mosh movie, JFK, and on various threads here, there's no end to the number of motives.

I guess good detective work starts at the scene with the physical evidence and works it's way out.

The autopsy reporting and procedures were not clearly controlled and the Warren Committee was deemed a cover-up by many, including those who attribute the findings to LBJ's instructions so that we could avoid a war he perceived happening.

When the government handles a major incident like this one was handled and then tries to hide the documents, you get what we've got.
