“And how does he explain: 1) Oswald’s prints on the gun; 2) the fact that Oswald bought the gun, mail order; 3) Oswald’s presence in the Book Depository that day; 4) Oswald’s murder of Officer Tippitt within the hour following; 5) Oswald’s prior attempt to kill Gen. Walker in Dallas.”
All those points have been disputed by testimony of witnesses who have been shown in TV documentaries. No. 3 is meaningless anyway, Oswald worked at the book depository, his presence there would raise no more suspicion than the presence of any other person who worked there. I’m with you on the Ruby story, I don’t believe for one second that he killed Oswald for any other reason than that he was bullied into it. I have seen the testimony of the LEO who said that Ruby was extremely nervous until he was told that Oswald was pronounced dead and then he immediately relaxed and asked for a cigarette. I think he was given no choice but to shoot Oswald and not just shoot him but to kill him.
I think those who accept the Warren commission report without question simply are not able to come to grips with just how corrupt our national government is and has been for so long. My first question is who could possibly believe that a real effort was made to protect JFK on that day? What sort of professional security people allow a president to ride in an open car in a slow moving procession past tall buildings with open windows and then tell a secret service man to step away from the car? Whatever happened, whether or not Files was involved, the truth is not in the Warren report.

This is the salient point with which all should come away.
JFK’s death was set up by the most powerful forces in the world, and the motive was strictly his monetary policies.

You make some good points. One of the most interesting things for me is that the Secret Service detail guarding the President in Dallas had reportedly been out drinking heavily the night before which would have slowed their reflexes in responding to an attack. I don’t know that anything could have saved JFK; but someone carefully examining the open windows of the Book Depository may have been able to do so.
