I’m really getting tired of the government and the media, who have been lying to us for years, calling everything else “conspiracy theories”.

In Bugliosi’s book he goes into extraordinary detail on many things including the time Oswald spent in Russia. The Russians came to the same conclusion you stated and wanted nothing to do with him.

His assassin’s might have been the CIA for all we know but the the reason behind it was most likely EO 11110 when JFK wanted to revert power back to the US Treasury as per the US Constitution from the Federal Reserve.

3 other Presidents have been assassinated because of trying to remove power from the Federal Reserve. Lincoln was assassinated because of the Greenbacks. Garfield and McKinley are the other two Presidents assassinated who wanted to revert power back to the US Treasury.

Trump also wanted to do this and had set into motion his plan of action. The Deep State wanted Trump removed more for this than any other reason. Oh they will tell you a whole bunch of excuses but Trump was an advocate of going back to the Gold Standard than relying on fiat currency.

Lincoln asked the Federal Reserve to fund the Union in the Civil War and was turned down. At the time the interest rate on the dollar was around 30 cents. Lincoln did not want to carry interest on the dollar so by Executive Authority he created the Greenback which carried no interest rate and funded the Union in the Civil War. President Grant revoked the Greenback in March 18, 1869, fourteen days after being sworn in and Lincoln’s assassination.

The Corsican delivered the kill shot. Then he was flown out of the country. According to McNamara Kennedy was scheduled to end the mob’s control of Vietnam.

Every Marine must qualify as a marksman or you don't earn that Globe And Anchor. Oswald did that.

I was in the Marine Corps and while I'd love to maintain the myth that every Marine is some kind of superhero marksman, that is simply not the case.

Two weeks of boot camp is dedicated to the rifle range. One week of "snapping in" in which you practice endlessly in the standing, kneeling, sitting and prone positions while learning about windage, breathing techniques and trigger control, etc.

The second week you are out on the range firing hundreds of rounds of live ammunition. When it comes time to qualify, it is almost impossible to not make at least marksman (sharpshooter and expert are even higher ratings), especially with friendly co-recruits pulling butts for you and spotting your rounds on the targets at the other end. We made sure every recruit at least got marksman.

There are many ways to wash out of boot camp but I can't remember a single instance of a recruit washing out at the rifle range.

Now most Marines do have more than decent shooting skills and can probably field-strip and clean an M16A1 while blindfolded but by and large they are not much better shots than your typical farm kid who grew up with rifles. To be a sniper, you need years of practice with tens of thousands of rounds. I don't think Oswald was of that caliber (pun intended).

My brother never fired a weapon in his life. After OCS at Quantico he could put a a squirrels eye out from a thousand yards(exaggeration here but I think you get my drift).

I never said Oswald was a sniper, just that he certainly
became a Marine. He didn’t wash out. And he was crafty enough to buy the Italian carbine through the mail most likely so some Texas gun dealer wouldn’t be able to say “I sold that guy a Mannlicher Carcano rifle!’’ Again, I don’t buy the conspiracy bit anymore. People talk.

And something like being part of a plot to kill the
President of The United States would make you a liability to someone high up the DC food chain You could even end up dead yourself if you knew too much.

I’ve always been 50/50 on the JFK case, though in post 50 I explained how the French President d’Estaing was told by Gerald Ford that there was a conspiracy. That was troubling, to say the least.

There are a number of anomalies in the case that lead me to believe that there was extensive intel activity around Oswald...this activity was not in any way normal for a 24-year-old.

Here are two incidents that stink to high heaven: on October 9th, 1963, the FBI, specifically agent Marvin Gheesling, removed Oswald from the “FBI Security Flash List”, therefore allowing Oswald to slip out of active surveillance. By happenstance, info on Oswald’s trip to Mexico City was received by the FBI from the CIA on October 10th and no alarm bells went off since Oswald’s name was no longer on the “Flash List”. How convenient. If Oswald was still on the list...he would have been blocked from work on 22 November.

Oswald was impersonated in several phone calls to the Cuban & Soviet embassies in Mexico City. No less than J. Edgar Hoover confirmed this after listening to the tapes...which were conveniently lost BTW.

Ask yourself: who impersonates a nobody, a clerk, a minimum wage earner?

There are many more oddities, especially the pamphlets that Oswald was handing out with 544 Camp St. New Orleans stamped on them. That address housed ex-FBI agents & anti-Castro fanatics.

The Trump coup is informative of just what these intel agencies are capable of.

The best documentary i have seen tries to prove the secret service guy shot the pres in the head accidentally. The regular secret service were all drunk and the guy was a fill in driver that pulled the semi-auto from the floor of the limo i think in front of the presidents car. It was a brit that did the analysis. I thot it was interesting and still tweaks my curiosity these many years out.

See “Rich Man’s Trick”. I have not seen rich mans trick but JFK was the last president to issue real money. Silver certificates. IF i like conspiracy that would be one. and it was 10 years in on stealing peoples wages as income. Maybe he was going to blow the lid off that.

the SS guy let one fly right into JFK’s head by accident.>>> saw the same documentary by some brit. It remains in my mind as the the plausible of the head shot. even tho he may have died from the throat wound. And the SS guy was a fill in because all the SS were Drunk.

Poppy Bush said he didn’t recall where he was (located) when he first heard Kennedy had been assassinated.

How could a bullet go through Kennedy’s neck, Connally’s back and make a right turn and wind up in Connelly’s right thigh..



That was one "magic" loogie...

I’m agnostic on who killed JFK and why or even if Oswald knew he was part of something bigger. But, that the pristine bullet exists, speaks volumes, IMO.>> Check out the accidental SS guy becuase the regular SS were all drunk. On other comments on this post. A brit documented the bullet that killed kennedy was from the SS guy by accident. The other shots where probably oswalds.

If Kennedy had just not allowed the government to unionize he would have been an outstanding president. But that fact destroyed him in my eyes.

I take it you think his betrayal of the Cuban freedom fighters at the Bay of Pigs was his finest hour.
