"No, somebody else did the shooting"

Oswald was a communist. He greatly admired Castro. He defected to the Soviet Union. He killed JFK.

Those facts have caused such cognitive dissonance on the left that leftists have ginned up a whole raft of conspiracy theories trying to reconcile those facts with their world view.

The fact of the matter was that Oswald had a furnace for a brain. His mother had messed him up badly by constantly failing with men and jobs and moving him around the country 20 times while he was growing up. Never having been allowed to establish roots anywhere, he felt permanently alienated from American society. Later on, like many such people, he professed to be looking for nothing but a place where he could put down roots but quickly got bored wherever he lived and kept moving around. He thought he'd find peace and a purpose for his life in the USSR. He got into Russia on false pretenses and then got the government to allow him to stay by injuring himself. They at first refused his request for asylum, but later allowed him to stay in Minsk, but then he got bored again. The KGB kept an eye on him but otherwise wouldn't touch him or give him anything to do other than drab factory work. After he returned to the US he was looking for something that would justify his existence. He was a while in Dallas, got bored, to New Orleans, bored again, back to Dallas, on to Mexico. He offered his services to the Cubans but was rebuffed because the Cubans thought he was a nut case. Back to Dallas. Wherever he went he stirred up trouble with his pro-communist activities, more fanatical about his communism than the other communists, seemingly seeking some sort of recognition for himself. At one point he attempted to kill an anti-communist Army General with the same rifle he used on JFK. In all of these things communist organizations kept him at arm's length. They saw him as a liability, and so he always acted alone. And then he settled on doing one big thing; he went after the anti-communist President.

The assassination wasn't the product of a political agenda or of communism. It was the product of one troubled mind.
 
Yes he did and acted alone. However, I think Kennedy was made available for the assassination. I believe the motive was Kennedy was not going to intervene in Vietnam, his double-cross on Cuba, and almost starting a nuclear war.

I thought it was the Russians that almost started a nuclear war. I guess it all depends on which side you were on during the Cold War.
 
I think over the last couple of years when two authors were give exclusive access to all the JFK material that anymore than 3 shots were disproved. All three fired by Oswald. A lot of Oswalt's connections with Cuba and other communist were held back from the people in fear they might be riled up into a war frenzy. This definitely helped build conspiracy.

this to me seems so obvious that you have to be willing to ignore provable facts to reach the conclusion that Oswald didn't fire all three shots.

Facts never got in the way of a good conspiracy theory. Having lived through it, I think what shocked us most was that one man could do this. I think most of us thought it would take an army to bring down a president. Yet here was this weird little man with a second rate rifle that did exactly that.
 
what about Jack ruby ? who killed him ?

it is said kennedy was against the vietnam war and threatened to bring CIA's international crimes out into the open.

l suspect he wasnt a bad boy because he was assasinated ,bad ones arent assasinated!

maybe USA would be a real democratic world power if kennedy lived long

I'm shocked no one has posted this since yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination.

Oswald killed Kennedy.Whether or not he acted alone I do not think anyone actually knows.
 
No-what killed Kennedy was at least one-or two-6.5 mm Italian surplus bullets fired out of an Italian Surplus rifle. Most credible evidence suggests LH Oswald fired said rifle and fatally wounded Mr. Kennedy. Some theories implicate a second sniper and intelligence specialist J David Truby claims Mr. Kennedy was shot with a "MI BIOINOCULATOR" (a CIA magnetic dart weapon that shot a toxic dart because there was a small hole in Kennedy's neck that is the size of the projectile the MIB used and one was missing from CIA inventory on 11/22/63) Furthermore the famous Zapruder film has a guy with an umbrella apparently turning it towards kennedy-During the Church expose of the CIA 15 years later, it was admitted by the CIA that such weapons were often disguised in umbrellas.

Food for thought

I think you misinterpreted my post. I was being facetious. The question was: "Did Oswald kill Kennedy" a simple "No" would have been sufficient, however the option redundantly added "somebody else did the shooting."

I believe it was Oswald who killed JFK
 
The facts:

You do the math...

That it's more comforting to the psyche of the conspiracy theorist to believe that it had to have been more coordinated?
 
it was probably something similar to this shooting

 
So I take it you believe someone killed him instead of cancer. Oh well. That is your perogitive.

there are claims he was poisoned with radioactive materials to induce cancer
 
:( G-dubya then?


The Illuminati, Freemasons and since Kennedy was a Harvard Man, those Yale Skull and Bones guys for sure.

There are claims, hug? I'll tell you what, I have this claim filed for half the moon that is guarenteed to be gold there. I'll sell you an option on that claim for a measley $50,000.00 and once we begin mining you will be one rich dude. Hurry up and take advantage of this now, I am standing by. This offer will not be seen on TV or available in any store or lawyers office. Act now as this offer will end soon. Have a stake in the claim.

You seem to think I believe those claims
 
The doctor at the hospital that treated Kennedy said the back of his skull was blown out. Think about that. Bullets make a small hole where they go in and big hole where they go out.

What doctor said that? The Zupruder film clearly shows an exit wound in his forehead.

Bullets don't always leave large exit wounds.

Typical of you high-flying advertising types! There I was in line, checkbook in hand, but did you tell us where to send the money to buy an option or two...Nooooooo!! Harumph! I'm beginning to think you're not sincere, so I'm never going to get rich quick! :boohoo:
