Maybe, maybe not. But you single yourself out as being one who is absolute about it. To be that certain about it, you would have to know other things as well. Let's hear some more stuff. Thanks.

I am not "absolute", but close to it. The experience I have with firearms and what Oswald did does not conflict. A trained and practiced marksman, practicing consistently with the same rifle, could easily reproduce the shooting performance of the Kennedy killing. The shooting time and the bullet behavior do not strike me as unusual. I have shot a deer in the shoulder and the bullet came out of the deer's eye, about 90 degree's to the bullets original flight. These phenomenon of bullet ballistics are counter-intuitive to most people. I don't know much about computers and they seem like a conspiracy to me. To those who know about PC's, even the abnormal has a logical explanation.

If anyone would like JFK's assassination be a provable conspiracy, it's me. I was a "Young Republican for Goldwater" in '64. LBJ drafted me in 1968 for reasons that I knew were bogus. God, I'd love it if someone could prove LBJ had it done. But for now, I don't think so. I think Oswald slipped through the cracks of government, just like the 9/11 hi-jackers, and committed a crime that changed our lives. All by himself.

Re: LBJ done it?

Maybe you already know of Barr McClellan's new book suggesting that LBJ and associates did do it -- and it wasn't for the trivial reason of making LBJ president. All the them had more important reasons.

I've despised LBJ since those days. I googled for "most evil man in history" and found nothing but amateurs to compare to LBJ. If someone told me Elvis was close to LBJ I'd believe Elvis assassinated President Kennedy. Disney/ABC news wouldn't have to produce a cartoon showing Elvis doing it.

Mr. McClellan writes about people who were peers and associates of LBJ. I always wondered why Bobby Baker dropped out of the news and why ol' Billie Sol Estes sort of drifted off somewhere. Now I know tough I have not read the book yet.

Actually, we knew then but the only free press around were limited circulation periodicals. The liberals were using the "Fairness Doctrine" and shutting down discussions and of course these was no Internet. There was just the Birchers and little else.

Okay, thanks. That's a fair explanation. I never did debate how many shooters there were, though it was a real maze to go through all the variations and scenarios presented through the years. Strange, but any one of them could be true, but the only thing we can know for sure is only one of them is. I guess it's 'ya pays your money and takes your pick.' Works for me. Gives us all something to argue about for another 40 years. Some are more believable than others, depending on the level of one's trust or mis-trust of government and inside knowledge of the players.

The reason I asked you the question is because I suspected you might be an insider and was ready to start talking after all these years. That wouldn't be unusual, as there are others who have done exactly that, both in books they authored and signed web articles.

I fully believe the truth has been told in bits and pieces, and it only remains for someone that knows the big picture to confirm the truth of the matter and to put the pieces together. I think it was FDR who said, "Nothing happens by accident in politics," which to me was a hint that another saying is true, 'Guilty knowledge is the glue that holds the truth in bondage.'

In the case of JFK, I don't think we'll ever know which version of the 'truth' is true.
