With new revelations calling into question the theory of the "lone gunman", Clare Thorp explores how JFK's assassination continues to live on in popular culture.

This November, it will be 60 years since the assassination of President John F Kennedy. A significant anniversary usually provides a chance to remember and reflect on past events – but, in the case of JFK's death, interest has never really faltered. Almost immediately after those gunshots rang out on a sunny autumn day in Dallas, speculation over Kennedy's death began, and it hasn't stopped since.

Those were his posistions. . As for if he would have moved left, he probably would have died in his 50’s. You are right, Liberal ls were the furthest left. I belive the downfall was taking Prayer Out of the Schools
.

JFK positions were right of all rhinos.

Including immigration?

[cowboyusa]

Yes, sadly. But his Imm.plan never would have gotten through if he lived. The continued Conservative Calition in the House would have blocked it.

I don’t know, the police should not have allowed Pope John XXIII to be there, much less a local lowlight...

[Jan_Sobieski]

So true!

[1Old Pro]

+1, I’ll take a look at it.

You forgot to mention the Secret Squirrel guy who was literally riding shotgun in the car behind Kennedy’s. He had his weapon out, ist shot is fired, the limo speeds up, SS is standing on the cushy seats, he’s jolted and reflexively pullsn the trigger. This also explained the upward angle of the fatal shot. Can’t remember the dude’s name, but of course there’s a book out about it, and of course SS sued author, settled out of court. Also explains the different ammo type (frangible vs non-frangible).

what the ER doctors at Parkland saw,

One of those doctors went on down I-45 and founded Memorial Hermann’s Life Flight as well as instrumental in bringing Houston a Level 1 Trauma Center that is one of, if not the best in the world.

A Texas A&M Aggie.

And an Army veteran.

Dr. James “Red” Duke.

Awesome. He had quite the career.

[Right_Wing_Madman]

The release of all the documents/testimony would accomplish nothing.

And most of the incriminating documents were destroyed long ago.

Who killed Kennedy?

I think Howard Hunt got it mostly right. LBJ gave the order to Cord Meyer in the CIA. Meyer organized the effort in the CIA. Oswald and Lucien Sarti (the "French gunman") carried out the assassination.

It was a coup inside the Democratic party.
