Jaqueline Kennedy Believed LBJ Had JFK Assasinated

A target moving away in a radial direction is almost as easy to hit as a stationary target. Oswald was qualified by the US Marines as a "marksman" in May 1959..

Do not believe Oliver Stone!!

A guilty man will say anything to get out of a murder rap!!

True, that's why the government fed the American people an impossible narrative that has been shattered over the years. Yet many people still prefer to believe the official narrative in spite of scientific evidence that proves it to be improbable. Our government assassinated Kennedy pure and simple, and Ruby didn't kill Oswald because he was heartbroken over the assassination.

LBJ wasn't sufficiently "sophisticated" for "Jackie," and she was opposed to his selection as VP from the beginning, which is why she was "The First Lady" and not The President.

I don't think LBJ orchestrated the JFK assassination. I think he knew about the plans to assassinate Kennedy though.

The hypothesis has been tried many times under controlled conditions. By the time the bullet punches through the objective lens, (at least 1/2 inch thick) and encounters all of the erector tubes and finally the ocular lens, (as much as 3/4 thick), it is out of steam.

What it will do is slam the scope back into the head of the victim, but test have shown that all it will give him is a headache.

This is not to say it is impossible. It is just that no body has been able to duplicate the feat under controlled conditions.

BTW, having "what if" discussions to review scenarios to be "ready" in the eventuality of an attempt or a successful effort (as was the case) IS NOT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE, but simply SOP for disaster planning. LBJ was clearly no "saint," but I don't recall him being accused of "murder" unless it was some loose talk from the anti-war crowd like "we" customarily hear around here!

Yeah with a bad habit too. Go figure, lol.

Yeah, if you put all the factors together. Poor shooter, bad angle of trajectory and an inferior weapon with a crappy scope. It would be like an average field goal kicker with a broken foot trying to kick an underinflated ball at fifty yards away in a fog, lol.

The Marine Corps consider that any reasonable application of the instructions given to Marines should permit them to become qualified at least as a marksman.

The distance from Oswald’s location to JFK’s car was never more than about 90 yards during the shooting.

Rifle qualification in the USMC is at 200 yards for standing position, 300 yards for the sitting position, and 500 yards for the prone position.

90 yards (270 feet): an easy shot for any position. When in boot camp, after our qualification scores, my platoon was moved back to 1,000 yards with open sight rifles just for fun and grins: the instructors wanted us to see what we could really do. We were using the M-14 (308 a shorter 30 caliber bullet). (Oswald qualified with the M-1 a 30.06 - a longer 30 caliber bullet) with more powder and a longer range). I personally hit an 8 inch bulls eye 8 out of ten shots with the M-14. Over half of the platoon hit the bulls eye 5 out of 10 shots, or better. On the whole, the platoon shot better at the 1,000 yard range (Prone position) than we did at the shorter qualification range. The DI said he guessed that the pressure of qualification was off, and we did better. I just think that the more one shoots (while concentrating) the better one becomes.

It took balls to point it at the President and shoot him, but it was otherwise quite doable for any Marine worthy of the name.

The bottom line that so many don't seem to get is it takes a professional killer to do what they claim Oswald did. I can't believe over fifty years later there are still slews of people who still think the Government is on the level with this incident.

Instead of ambushing someone in a convertible cruising through town on a lovely day for an outing. Crazy MOFOS don't have enough sense to take inventory of their "anatomy" and do shit without having the capacity to evaluate the consequences or give a shit.
