Well, you’re having a lot of fun imagining unsupported conspiracy theories. It’s just not rational.
You’re insisting we dispense with the entirety of the Warren Commission’s report while crafting unfounded suspicion where the facts and testimony don’t support your unexplained case. It’s spooky ghost story suspension of disbelief for amusement.
You: “The FBI testimony to the WC said that the Carcano rifle was incapable of murdering the President.”
Me: “Quite the contrary. The Warren Commission testimony by the FBI and the US Army ballistic lab was that the rifle was properly lubricated and in good working order and repeated tests by multiple sources with it duplicated Oswald’s results. Plus, resources from the Department of Energy lab proved the fired projectiles came from that rifle to the exception of any other and the ammunition was this specific lot purchased by Oswald.”
You: “Not from the unnamed sources I’ve read. Once you’ve read enough conspiracy books to eliminate Oswald as the ‘Lone Gunman’, you get to have all kinds of fun referencing this crackpot and that, and invent your own narrative like picking and choosing from a smorgasbord diner. Now, let me tell you about Oswald’s homosexual Cuban KGB lover/handler he slipped into the Texas Theater to meet...”
Okay, well. We’re done here I guess. Good afternoon.
Check out the author and the book and tell me we are dealing with another crackpot. Her publication of her story has brought her nothing but grief and threats to the point that she moved to another country after hiding her knowledge for almost four decades.
There is no question that LHO hung out with CIA and ultra-right people like David Ferrie and Cuban exiles. He was working for Guy Bannister.
The Report was concocted based on what the FBI allowed into evidence. Entire elements of events were expressly kept away from the Commission by the other Intelligence agencies. It knew nothing of the attempts on Castro’s life by the CIA/Mafia partnership. CIA did not tell it a damn thing except Dulles admitted that it would lie even to that Commission. It stank so bad that at least two of the signers indicated they did not believe its conclusions.
Russell Long put Garrison on the case he disagreed with so much in it, Hal Boggs felt the same way. Not only did Richard Russell have doubts but even LBJ, after his resignation, expressed his belief they were dealing with a conspiracy. Garrison tried an extremely complex case hampered by the perjury of Clay Shaw who was a CIA asset but denied it. Why? And, it should be noted, the Jury trying the case believed that Garrison was on the right track he just didn’t prove it. That is no wonder given the sabotage and perjured testimony.
But the whole story can be boiled down to Jacob Rubinstein’s shooting of Oswald. That was to stop him from talking. Ruby had known Lee since his childhood and was seen with him many times. But he was carrying out the Mafia’ desire to have LHO eliminated. His excuse is a joke and I can’t imagine an intelligent person would swallow it.
Nor was the WC apprised of the two prior attempts scheduled for Tampa then Chicago. Oswald was nowhere to be seen in those cities. What would its conclusion have been with that knowledge? The Lone Assassin theory dies there.
