LBJ also had the most to gain. There were rumors at the time that JFK planned to replace LBJ in the 1964 run for president. Many thought RFK would follow his brother in 1968. LBJ couldn’t wait that long, and he was no fan of the Kennedy brothers.

I live 40 miles north of Dallas and was in 1st grade in 1963, Oswald’s niece was in my class. I have been fascinated in the assassination since then and have met many of the principal characters in it. I never really considered LBJ as the mastermind until the past few years. The killing occurred in his backyard, he had an extensive history of cheating, he had plenty of sketchy associates to do his bidding, he had a reputation for getting what he wanted.....

One secret to the personality and motivations of Jack Ruby can be found in his lifelong friendship to his boyhood pal Barney Ross. Boxing champion Ross was one of the greatest pound for pound boxers ever. He was one of the three greatest Jewish boxers along with Benny Leonard and Max Baer. Ruby was Jewish also.

Ross became more than just a sports hero with his displays of incredible valor and perseverance on Guadalcanal.

Ross probably played a key role in getting Dorothy Kilgallen an interview with Ruby. Ross was a member of New York’s café society and was mentioned in Dorothy’s newspaper columns about who-was-seen-where.

The depictions of nightclub owner Ruby as a mafia hitman die away the more one studies Ruby. He was an eccentric character who, unlike his friend Ross, never was very successful at anything. He was very offended by Oswald’s smirk and was successful at wiping that smirk off his face.

“One aspect of the Oswald case that has always intriqued me.
The uncle of his wife Maria, was a high ranking official in some branch of Soviet intelligence. It was very unusual for close relatives of those officials to be allowed to travel outside the USSR during the height of the cold war.”

Oswald being able to travel back and forth US-USSR wasn’t all that common, either. Also a bit odd, especially in that era, that the Marines thought an avowed Communist was a good catch. Lots of loose odds and ends that may never be tied up.

Of course Hitler escaped to South America! Whose orders do you think Georgie Soros has been following??
As for Skittles you are no doubt correct.

The really interesting thing is the plans for the emascutation of the white heterosexual male population are on that microfilm! They KNEW adding soy to the food chain would result in the feminization of white males. They KNEW the estrogen mimicking properties of the soy would create a compliant permanent class they could control.
I bet the plans and formula for the extra “immunization” shot for blacks that makes them immune from the feminization plan is on the microfilm too.

IT’S ALL ON THE MICROFILM!!!

Two years ago I was inspired by something Vince Bugliosi said in an interview:

"Whenever anyone says the Warren Report was wrong I always ask them if they have read it. Almost no one has.

Bugliosi's remark can be verified by reading the Warren Report yourself and simply asking critics a few questions about what's in the text. I've yet to meet a conspiracy fan who even knows how the report is structured, much less what's actually in it. What they do is watch videos and listen to the stories spun by professional conspiracy pushers without ever bothering to see if the witness statements in the report blows holes in that nonsense.

Lotta people/institutions had motivation, so it’s hard to choose from the rogue’s gallery.

An article I read a few months after the assassination claimed that JFK was shot by mistake. Oswald was after John Connally, then Gov. of Texas. WTF??

The author then proceeded to lay out that Oswald petitioned Connally multiple times to get his discharge reinstated as Honorable (went to "Dishonorable" when he tried to defect to Russia). He couldn't get anything under the GI Bill, loans, mortgages, etc. There was also a problem with immigration and his wife. Connally wouldn't do anything and passed the buck on both.

I always thought it would be ironic if that was true, the real coverup being that JFK was killed by mistake, and wasn't the martyr the Media and Powers That Be claimed he was.

[Sidebar] The FBI took Oswald's Carcano carbine and did rapid fire tests with it, concluding that he could fire rapidly with it, which was one of the sticking points. Some months before, I had bought one and after shooting it, felt that it was a piece of crap. I read later on that because the bolt handle closed 2" forward of the trigger, people in the gun community declared it was a lousy weapon for rapid fire.

Yeah, I dunno about the Connally thing. Seems like it would be easier to target him when he wasn’t surrounded by Presidential-level security.
About sending away for the Carcano; I can’t imagine it was all that hard to get a gun fast and cheap locally in early 60’s Texas. So that’s a bit odd.

I mentioned the detail Bugliosi went into. One point that was made was regarding the FBI investigation. They actually interviewed everyone they could locate who was on the bus with Oswald on the trip from Texas to Mexico City. I was a bit surprised at that.

I recall interviews with Oswald’s fellow Marines at El Toro. They gave him the nickname “Osvaldovitch” in honor of the communist propaganda that he was always spouting.

It’s surprising how young he was, barely turned 24 when he shot Kennedy.

The CIA is corrupt and inept, but they did pull off a win for Biden.

Another detail mentioned: Remember also that Oswald took a shot at General Walker, who was in his house at the time. I knew the story, but knew that the shot “missed”. Bugliosi explained that the shot was through a window and the bullet struck one of the ‘muntins’ (the wood that holds the panes of glass). Had it not been deflected by that, the shot likely would have hit the General.

I think I probably read the same half dozen books, and saw all the VHS tapes on every conspiracy. I’m actually inclined to believe the one that an inexperienced SS guy in the car behind him actually killed him by accident after Oswald got off the first shot, or rather somebody got off the first shot. But hey, there were plenty of people that wanted him gone so who knows. I certainly don’t expect the truth to come out during my life, and probably not my kid’s either.

The shot that killed JFK came from in front. That was not Oswald, and not the secret service guy behind him. I saw the secret service story long ago, discounted it immediately, not possible.

The Zapruder film very clearly shows his head being knocked backward, and a cloud of blood being blown backward. That can only be done from in front.

The doctors in the ER knew immediately it was a shot from in front. They had seen dozens of head shots already. It’s their job. One of them finally wrote a book 30 years later. He also said the “official” autopsy photos show something entirely different than the wounds he worked on. A small entry wound about where the knot in his tie was, in front, had been surgically altered to become a 3 inch gash. He knew it was originally a small entry wound. It went through the knot in his tie.

The bullets Oswald used were full metal jacket, they were not likely to break up. Dozens of tiny bullet fragments showed up in tbe original x-rays. Not Oswald’s bullets.

At least a half dozen witnesses reported seeing smoke at the fence line in front of the limo. Several, includong cops, also smelled gunpowder, in front.
