History is Not Boring discussion

SS could never hope to cover all the fields of fire.

I found Joseph P. Farrell's book on the assassination fascinating. He did a lot of research over the years and came to the conclusion it was a conspiracy organized by LBJ (so he could become president) with involvement by the CIA (for wanting to share space secrets with the Russians), a Cuban expatriate group (for the bay of pig fiasco), and the Mob (for his crack down on organized crime), and some other interested parties.

The book is LBJ and the Conspiracy to Kill Kennedy: A Coalescence of Interests

We cannot keep a single secret, including nuclear weapons, but conspiracies involving many people, no problem. Of course all the CIA people were in agreement.

No one said all the CIA was in on it. It was just a small inner circle (the brass fired by Kennedy among others). I just watched the Oliver Stone JFK movie and associated bonus material. An amazing movie with lots of information and eye witness testimony pointing to a conspiracy and especially a cover up.

Am starting to watch the History Channel documentary, The Men Who Killed Kennedy, which has more amazing eye witness interviews regarding the shooter on the grassy knoll.

Here in England we have a strong industry of investigative journalism and nobody has believed Oswald the sole killer story for decades. However exactly how and who has proved elusive to get a conclusive outcome until recently. Evidently the car following the President was full of Secret Service, one of whom was equipped with a high powered rifle. When it happened that the first shot hit the President and the Governor,the rifleman reached for his weapon which was ready to fire. As he stood up the cavalcade accelerated throwing him back and the rifle went off. The bullet hit Kennedy in the back of the head, killing him instantly. The Secret Service went to great lengths to conceal the fact it had shot the president, but it was an accident. Whether it was actually Oswald in the Book Depository in still not certain.

I've read about that theory. Alternatively it could account for the stray bullet that hit the bystander under the bridge. The Zapruder film however would tend to indicate it did not hit Kennedy as the film shows his head jerking back and to the side. If the bullet hit Kennedy in the back of the head would it not have shown Kennedy jerking forward?

Just finished watching the History Channel documentary, The Men Who Killed Kennedy. It has amazing interviews and some theories that I had not known about (the altered autopsy photos, Oswald's role as a CIA spy and his involvement in the plot to assassinate Castro, and an alternative to the grassy knoll shooter which would support claims of a shot from that direction). I give History Channel a lot of credit for producing this. It is historic and a must see for anyone interested on the topic. All 9 parts are available on YouTube.

I saw this too during this past anniversary of his death. It was very eye opening.
