History thread: The murderer of JFK was...

[Ben1]

or were...
My Opinion: The secret service of Cuba (and Oswald did it).
Attorney General Robert Kennedy wanted the death of Fidel Castro. The US tried eight times (General Alexander Haig said this) to kill Castro. The reaction of Cuba: They killed President Kennedy.
President Johnson did nothing against Cuba because he was afraid that he could be the next one on their list.
What do you think?

 

[swerve]

Hmmmm...

Thats an interesting concept I've never heard before.

I always thought it was George HW Bush -- He lived within (I think 90 min) from there and WAS in the CIA -- He cannot account for his wherabouts during that time frame.

The Mafia is a real possibility. They help get JFK elected and then what happend? He backed off on Castro after the Bay of Pigs and, as Attorney General RFK agressively prosecuted the Mafia. The Mafia doesn't like it when you don't return a favor. The chances of the Mafia being behind both of their assassainations are pretty high.

The Mafia, CIA, and Cuban's who came here when Castro took power. JFK called off his promised air strikes at the last moment , thus the diaster at the Bay of Pigs when the CIA/Cuban's launched their assult. Read "Double Cross" by Chuck Giancana and "First Hand Knowledge" by Robert Morrow. All levels of our government were involved in or had knowledge of the planned assination, including the FBI ( Bobby was going to fire Hoover), the military ( they had a war going on and JFK was threatening to stop it), and both Johnson and Nixon. Even the Dallas Police were in on it. And Oswald didn't fire a shot, wasn't even on the 3rd floor of the building where some of the shots came from. The first report from a firearms expert said the rifle was a 7.5mm Mauser, this was later changed to a 6.5 mm Carcano rifle that Oswald had purchased. There were at least three shooters in different locations. Oswald was a pawn to both the CIA and Mafia.
I have always been fasinated by this event, and there are many books published about it, now that many of the players are dead. They are intresting reads...........

Read the books above and others, they are fasinating.

Even more fasinating is the death of Rober Kennedy, Sirhan was in front of him, yet he was shot in the back and side of the neck. An impossible event.

He didn't die -- it was all done with mirrors.
Now he's on the moon in the alien mothership that has Elvis.

There is so much controversy over the Kennedy assassinations that even joking about them offends me. John Fitzgerald is considered to be the last great President and Robert could have beat that by a country mile. I have long thought these men represented a turning point in history and their deaths doomed this country to socialism. Of course, all of that is just my opinion.

[texpatriot]

I saw some thing on the History Channel that definitely paints the mafia as being in collusion with the CIA.

Either way it's all circumstantial evidence.

I grow in Dallas where Kennedy was assassinated, and my opinion?

It was a professional hit, and Oswald was "just a patsy" as he claimed.

Here's link to the website of the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas:

I also so a thing on the History Channel about the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, which called a lot of things into question.

One of which, is why Sirhan Sirhan isn't allowed to speak to anyone outside of law enforcement?

Suspect indeed.

I've never heard that proposition before.

As for joking... I had some friends who were into the whole conspiracy theory business around the Kennedys. They had one of those condos where the stairway to the upper level hung over the living room. Underneath it was nothing but shelves and two file cabinets, one a two-drawer and one a four-. Total shelf space was nearly 72 feet. And every inch of shelf was filled with books about the Kennedy assassinations, every bit of file drawers filled with magazine articles and such.

I just can't take it seriously any more, after putting up with their fanaticism on the subject.

I agree with you. JFK was the greatest. I wish we could have seen what Robert could have done.

Somehow I don't think they'd have unleashed the massive federal bureaucracy that Nixon spawned.

 

[seven_sins]

I believe the Warren Commission report was correct. There was no evidence found that anyone other than Lee Harvey Oswald was guilty.

 

[Agoateeguy]

No one believes the Warren Report. That was just sophisticated politics in a can. They cleverly crafted that to chum the public into believing it was all simpler than it really was. Great cover-up, but no dice.

The Zapruder film alone disproves that. The bullets obviously came from different directions clearly indicating different riflemen, one fore and one aft.

One of the greatest post-World War Two tragedies. Bobby was another one. Oh, not to mention MLK. It's a wonder we have really lously leaders today. They could all be afraid.

 

[DiaryOfAMadman]

JFK is one of the United States most overrated presidents. I'm sorry but so many presidents did so much more then he did. Regardless of the short time that he actually held office, he didn't get that much done. Cuban Missile Crisis but that was about it. Seriously he was young and handsome at the time and represtented a new spirit. People, espcially his supporters have made the Legend of JFK so much bigger then the man. Don't get me wrong I liked the guy and all, but he was far from a "Great President".


Who Killed JFK?

More then likely it was an American Mafia (in particular Sam Gianciana) in communication with the Cubans. May have been a case where one supplied the money, equiptment, and logistics while the other group supplied the shooters and so on.

And what's wrong with socialism? Have you ever heard of Scandinavia?
I wouldn't copy their system; I'd learn from their mistakes of course.

But a peaceful, low-crime, high prosperity society sounds good to me.
Better than what we've got.


And by the way, I think Lee Harvey Oswald was page one,page last and everyone in between of who-killed-Kennedy.

I don't even think it was irate Marilyn Monroe fans.
