The one thing that breaks down all of the 'team' conspiracy theories is the complexity that they all require. 'Cuba-KGB", "CIA - Vietnamese - Mob" all require either strange as hell bedfellows or, in Cuba's case, smoking the guy who had just handed over an entire army of dissident ex-Cubans.

Likewise, Johnson was on way too shaky ground within his own party - witness the total destruction of the guy by the demo-left wing that followed.

My own belief is that Bobby "knew who killed JFK" because he was as much in on it as anyone else - the hit, if it was a hit & a conspiracy, came from inside the circle.

And, the popular myth that JFK was ready to pull out of Vietnam is the single most blatant piece of disinformation ever constructed by the left wing. It was necessary so that the break from yesterday's democrat party and the one that came into being could be masked over; again, Johnson was made the goat because he was an outsider. As someone else stated; a watershed in US governance and society.

Oh! Did I leave out the part about -

If JFK had lived another couple of months the world would have known about the diseases, infirmity, the propiganda mill, and outside sports that were common knowledge to the inner circle?

This subject has been rehashed over and over here on Free Republic. Some people simply cannot accept that a single insignificant deranged man had the means and opportunity to fire a few shots from a short distance, with a cheap but powerful rifle, and kill the President of the United States. It happened folks. Truth is stranger than fiction, in this case.

I was once a conspiracy believer, but after digesting everything I could find on the subject, and after witnessing how OJ's "dream team" made every police screw up look like the conspiracy of the century, I realized that there is absolutely no evidence of anything other than Oswald firing from the sixth floor book depository window.

I have seen the vultures circling delay Plaza in Dallas selling their conspiracy rags. There's no market in selling the truth, so there needs to be a "new killer" all the time. Please don't give these ghouls your money!

Evidence for the withdrawal from Vietnam comes from Col. Fletcher Prouty who was a briefing officer for JFK and liason between the CIA and the Joint Chiefs. He produced the NSC memoranda to support his claims.

Leftist had nothing to do with THAT.

You believe RFK knew JFK was going to be hit? ROTFLMAO.

Certainly Hoover did, having been warned repeatedly by informants. But he made sure RFK did not receive that info.

"My own belief is that Bobby "knew who killed JFK" because he was as much in on it as anyone else - the hit, if it was a hit & a conspiracy, came from inside the circle."

With all due respect, surely you don't really believe RFK had anything to do with JFK's death, do you? From all indications, he was grief-stricken about it.
