Just a question:

How come the mob rarely surfaces in these discussions?

It’s plausible: Sam Giacanni (sp?) threw the election for John and got squat for it; in fact Bobby declared war, arguably.

They had the motive; they had the means, and the know-how...

Very interesting posts in this thread. I still haven't heard "the Pope did it" and "Bush did it" comments yet but I'm sure someone will add those to the list very soon.

/sarcasm off

hehe

Why couldn’t he have said Hillary Clinton did it? Save us some trouble next election.

I think Liberty Valance shot Kennedy.

1. He was in Texas, and his sister told me that he hadn’t been in his 5th grade classroom all day.

2. He is an excellent shot and a steely-eyed killer.

3. Liberty Valance is so mean that even John Wayne had to hide around the corner to get a shot at him.

Case closed!

Woodward doesn’t pursue things damaging to democrats.

True, but I'm sure he was there when LBJ died and has the real story.

Make it four and five.

Search the FR archives and you'll find my statements regarding the fact that Oswald the miserable left wing radical fink murdered our President to be well documented.

Freeper 'Shooter2.5' and I have been swatting conspiracists with a broom for years around here every time the issue of the JFK assassination pops up.

Oliver Stone had a theory as well. Johnson was a jerk and personally responsible for the death of tens of thousands of American troops in Vietnam (after Kennedy got us into Vietnam). But I don't believe he was part of any conspiracy... and I was 19 when JFK was shot and remember exactly where I was when I heard the news... Johnson was an idiot... not a conspiritor.

The mob is afraid to kill judges, policemen, and reporters. They faced far worse prosecution in later years without killing anyone.

Any ballistics expert will very that to be the norm for a frontal shot. Not true. You can replicate that with your own experiment. Simply use a highpowered rifle...

Correct, Solid. A "MythBusters" (of all things!) one-hour program addressed the question of whether the bullet could do all the damage that was done.

Utilizing the same type of rifle Oswald used, same bullet grain wt & load, structured gel bodies, precise angle bench rest(s), elevations, and distances, a 'reenactment was conducted.

The segment prep was impressive and meticulous.

The results amazed even the "MythBusters" guys. Nearly identical. Right down to the bullet frag paths!!

I'll send a note to Discovery, Smith, to get the episode number, which can be purchased.

From what I've read, there were a lot of people or groups with motive.

I don't know what to make of all the conspiracy theories. I don't start with the conspiracy. I start with the official version and go out.

I had read that Hunt was not home on the day and then he lied about it. His family never backed his story as far as I know. That's easier for me to believe than many versions.

I don't think Hunt's involvement precludes any of several theories.

Two stories from the mob sound plausible too, but the pattern of the mob was not to make the general public mad, so what was the gain? WQouldn't they have risked the wrath of the entire country and all the government agencies. Hard to buy.

One story that Giancana sent Roselli and another guy to tell Joe Kennedy that he was a little miffed that the boys were going after the mafia when he had done so much to help in the election. Joe said he would talk to them when they came home for Christmas. Meanwhile he stroked out and supposedly never had the conversation. Joe Bonana confirmed the same story in the epilogue to his Showtime movie.

The other story that the mnafia in NO was mad because RFK had swept up Marcello off the street and had him dropped in the hills of Guatamala without money or ID.

The Hunt story is the one that seems the most believable to me since it directly connects the suspect with unknown whereabouts on the day of the shooting. And Hunt surely seem capable of planning and being involved.

I don't think we will ever know anything with certainty because of time passing and people dying of old age. So meanwhile it's one of our national pasttimes.

Wrong on all counts, I'm afraid.

Very well then, but I googled the picture, and it looked more like a blink than a wink in any case.

I saw that episode, and the path thing with the first shot that hit Connelly (sp?). However, I can’t remember the part where they duplicated the brain tissue explosion / head movement. Maybe I just need to watch it again.

Of course, LBJ was MOST probably part of killing JFK. The first indicator is the FACT he was KILLED IN TEXAS.
