Of course the government would never lie to us about this.

You people so willingly stick your head in the sand and accept whatever the government throws your way. The corruption behind the scenes is unprecedented and monstrous. It's probably too late, but wake up anyway.

E Howard Hunt admitted his involvement on his deathbed. People don't generally lie when they are about to meet their maker. J Edgar Hoover announced within minutes of the shooting that Oswald was the assassin and acted alone. Really? They hadn't even caught him yet.

Maybe this is why he was murdered.

Or maybe because he was about to pull out of VietNam, a real blow to military profiteers.

Or a number of reasons. JFK was about to transform the US, and restore liberty. There are some who oppose that at any cost.

I too was a skeptic for years, but after watching many indepentent studies and other documentaries on the subject I changed my mind.

IBH posted some very good links to start with and I highly recommed you read Posners "Case Closed"

I've read plenty, and was firmly convinced that Oswald acted alone. Now I'm sure he didn't, in fact, he may not have even known about it.

Posner picks and chooses what info he wants to report, and leaves lots of testimony and evidence that doesn't fit his preconceived notion out of the book.

Every piece of evidence says 3 shots from the 6th floor window in the Texas School Book Depository. Which by the way is where LHO was by the testimony of his coworkers and witnessed by the Dallas Police and otheres. The same building he fled from and later shot and killed a policmen. Those events have actual eyewitnesses.

And LHO didn't know anything about it?

That's my theory after all I've read and listened to. You're not going to convince me, and I won't convince you. It's ok. I hope you turn out right.

Your Holiness, I would commend to you the following book, not to change your mind, but it might be a fun read. I haven't read it yet (I'm going to) but I listened to a two hour interview with him and it was interesting. He does interview Oliver Stone, which for both of us is a red flag, but there might be some other information that would be useful.

I believe he is spot on. It just goes to prove that even the Lama can get it right occasionally!

I do not recall if he and I have previously debated this issue but I know his posting style well enough to say that he is very opinionated. By the same token, he will perform due diligence on a subject and admit later if he feels he was mistaken! I have been around long enough to know that not many posters will do that.

Okay Lama, the next freakin' drink is on you, Ass Wipe!

Damn, I must be getting soft in my old age!

Occam's Razor.
