It is obvious that some of the readers need to get more up to speed on their research.

First of all, Marina Oswald would have said just about anything back then because she was under threat of deportation and a life of poverty as a single mother with 2 babies back in the Soviet Union. She has said on camera since that time that she does not believe her husband killed the President and that she hopes in her lifetime that the murder will be solved, especially since HER husband was murdered as well.

And as for the "Select Committee", well, they weren't so selective. When pressured to turn the official government JFK autopsy photos (that had never been seen by anyone other than the government) over to the Parkland Hospital doctors in Dallas for observation and comment, doctors who were the FIRST ones to see the wounds, they refused. Why?

So the photos were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and shown to the Dallas doctors by independent assassination researchers. Three of those doctors, again, on camera, said the wounds

were not what they observed in Trauma Room One on Nov. 22, 1963.

And when the official autopsy photos were matched up with the official Bethesda x-rays, they didn't even match up with the x-rays!!

And as for RFK not wanting to shed more light on the assassination, there were numerous reasons for that, some personal, and the rest had to do with the ongoing CIA operations in Cuba to get rid of Castro, RFK had been put in charge of that. It would have blown alot of CIA cover in many areas and jeopardized our entire nation.

But it was said that he did call the head CIA official in charge of the Cuba operation and said "Your guys did it!", meaning killed the President. After all, they were well trained in getting rid of government leaders that were in the way. Think about it.

And lastly, if the "Select" committee is so "select", and came up with a conclusion other than the Warren Commission, why have they done NOTHING since? There can be only one reason---fear of retribution and exposure of even more lies and deceit by our government.

By the way, for those of you who have never read any of the "official" testimony in the Warren Report, take a look sometime. You will be as shocked as I was. Hours and hours of inane useless questions and testimony, like Allen Dulles asking Oswald's brother, "What age did LHO have to be before he entered public school in Texas?" The brother didn't know so Dulles insisted that they find out by asking further of someone familiar with the Texas public schools. The whole thing is a joke.

Nobody can screw up a cover-up like the government. Remember Watergate????

I don't think it makes sense for the "Umbrella Man" to be a signaler for the shooters. They presumably had telescopic sights so they could see if they had a good shot and their attention would had to be focused on their target, not someone standing on the curb.

Besides what could a man up close see that men with scopes couldn't see? Also who would want to stand in relative close proximity to a passing limosine which is about to be subjected to high power rifle fire? I'm sure he would have considered the possibility of a riccochet and would not want to take a bullet for the cause.

The idea that the umbrella was a kind of weapon fails to make sense when you consider that for it to be a gun of some sort the projectile would need to travel along the long axis like the barrel of a gun or rifle.

But this umbrella was open and if there was a gun-like device in the handle surely some one in the secret service would have seen it.

I think he was heckling the President by using the open umbrella to poke fun at Joseph Kennedy and his stance against the US entering WWII when he was ambassador to england where umbrellas are seen as very british.

Those people who say they are sure Owsald did it alone are ignoring the fact that no one saw him pull the trigger. That he was smart enough to have the rifle sent to a P.O. Box registered to A.J. Hidell yet he was not smart enough to not have the A.J. Hidell photo ID on him when he was arrested.

To believe Oswald did it alone means you have to accept a lot of coincidences. Like the neck wound that is first called an entry wound then becomes an exit wound and the head shot on the Zapruder film showing JFK knocked backward indicating a shot from the front. The "apparent surgery" on JFK's head before the autopsy.

The conspiracy need only involve a limited number of persons who would stand to benefit from Kennedy's death and the one who benefited the most is also the man who ordered the limosine with it's possible clues as to the number of shots and direction they came from torn down and rebuilt. He also had Connelly's suit sent to the dry cleaners again destroying vital evidence and the fact they over look most of all is LBJ was a Texan. Dallas was his old stomping ground and surely he had power over the local police.

In 1961 Dag Hammarskjöld got in to road;

In 1963 John F Kennedy got in the road; and in 1965/1966 Sukarno was replaced by Gen. Suharto who was more eager to sign the business contracts selling West Papua's vast gold & copper reserves; selling the services of Jakarta's female population as sweatshop workers; providing what the Ford Foundation in 1949 had promised would be America's "easy" access to the mineral wealth of Asia; with Bechtel earning money from all the US mining industry across 'Indonesia'.

If America spends seventy years funding a foreign Axis military (yes, the TNI was originally Sukarno's voluntary Axis militia) proud of its Islamic jihadist philosophy - eventually you have to expect some blow-back.

There is not one shred of credible evidence pointing to any conspiracy. My God, look at the real evidence here. Oswald comes to work with a long tube-like package under his arm. They match his rifle, found on the sixth floor of the depository, to the fragments in the car.He is the only employee to leave the building after the assassination. He murders a cop.And one final thing.

Robert Kennedy was the Attorney General at the time. The top cop in the nation. J.Edgar Hoovers'Boss even. He would have stopped at nothing if he even thought something was amiss. He agreed w/the Warren report and poured over every word of it a month before it was published.

I would like to respond to your convenient deaths list

In which you have placed about 120 people who have died in the 33 years since

the assassination of JFK. This would be from a pool of people who have been involved with the case which would include all the witnesses, the Dallas police department, the FBI, people who new Oswald, people who new Ruby, people who worked with Ruby, the Staff at Parkland hospital, people involved in the autopsy, newsmen and journalists, conspiracy theorists and writers, Governors, mayors and politicians, anyone who new JFK and his family, people involved with the New Orleans case, Anti-Castro sympathisers, pro-Castro sympathisers, the CIA, The Mafia, all the above relations, friends and associates,

this must add up to thousands and thousands of people and only 120 have died?!

It seems to me that being involved in the JFK assassination even in an absurd far off way is the recipe for a long life!!!

If you believe the backyard photos of Oswald are fake you are ignoring the exhaustive scrutiny the photos underwent at the hands of the House Select Committee's expert photographic panel in 1978. Using a variety of sophisticated techniques, such as stereoscopic viewing and grain analysis. the panel determined that the photos contain no evidence of forgery. Also Oswald's widow, Marina, has confirmed to the Warren Commission, the House Select Committee, and numerous independent researchers that she herself took the photos, which the House Select Committee panel determined were made with Oswald's own Imperial Reflex camera, to the exclusion of all other cameras.

It also defies common sense that conspirators would waste hours of their time meticulously forging evidence that has no forensic value, that is to say, fails to incriminate Oswald in any way.

But i'm afraid conspiracy theorists never show alot of common sense, they prefer Hollywood movies!

The one eyewitness death that drove home the conspiracy to me was the "suicide" of Col. William Pitzer of Bethesda Naval Hospital in 1965. A former Army Lt. from Ft. Bragg came forward and admitted they tried to recruit him for the job. It seems Col. Pitzer even had a video of the President's autopsy.

He was about to retire and mentioned offers to him from major networks. Suspicion might not have been aroused but for one thing. His assistant said they found a gun in his right hand. Col. Pitzer was left handed. Look up what happened again when the House Select Committee on Assassinations was about to convene in 1977, another rash of mysterious deaths of principals who were to testify.

After reviewing the museum material, the assination site, talking with locals who worked at the site, the autopsy material, the countless on-line accounts and videos; it leaves significant doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Common everyday logic illustrates there was more than one shooter and bullets.

Consider...Govenor Connally stated, he heard multiple shots. Also, multiple slugs and richochets were found at the site along with eyewitness accounts on multiple shots seen or heard. Also, the angle of the fatal shot to the head, the head movement of the President during the fatal shot, the projectile debris angle from the President's head, the projectile debris landing from that shot that was found on the policeman behind the car and on the grass. It definetly appears Oswalds fatal shot angle and the President's autopsy report illustrates the bullet path are in direct conflict with the number of bullet accounts, projectile impact and debris projection. Common logic illustrates these appear to be in direct conflict.

If Oswald acted alone why didn't the killing end there? Why was Oswald and any potential witnesses that could have shed light on the case eliminated and why did Bobby Kennedy get shot for wanting to reopen the case?

If Oswald acted alone one would assume it is too coincidental that Oswald and Bobby Kennedy would be killed also. In contrast, consider when assisnation attempts were made on President Ford and Reagan no one else was killed after these attempts. This contrasts significantly to common logic and does not add up.

The available information appears to be in conflict & leaves more questions. America is over the who did it, who was right or wrong, but it is inherent in our countries make-up to want to know the truth. After all we vote and pay for the actions of our country and government officials.

G. Carter has an interesting theory. In The Men Who Killed Kennedy, the funeral home director who actually did the autopsy and embalming of "Oswald" if indeed that is who it was, was there when his body was exhumed in the 80's because of new information that there may have been a "switch" pulled. He examined the head of the man who was supposed to be Oswald, and, surprise, said there was no head scar where one had been previously that he himself had done to examine Oswald's brain. Also he stated that after "Oswald" died and was brought to the funeral home, some men came in and fingerprinted him, because they left black ink on his hands and the funeral home director had to clean it off. Remember after that the "palm print" evidence was suddenly found on the rifle nailing him as Kennedy's assassin.

I would like to know G Carter's theory on Officer J.D. Tippitt.

this has helped with my history project thanks

It is obvious that there were TWO Oswalds. Just look at the police photos [mug shots] of Lee Oswald arrest in New Orleans and the mugs of Harvey Oswald in Nov. 1963. Those are two very different people. If you have any opinion write me at cobergsaxe@cs.com

Was there a conspiracy? Absolutely yes and a big one.

Glad the site is back up and running. Just wanted to respond to a few comments. First of all, yes, most definitely JFK had lots of enemies, so does just about every politician in Washington, male or female. I have read some pretty scary things about who and what he was involved with. But absolutely nothing scares me more than the "shadow government" which immorally and illegally seized power in Washington on Nov. 22, 1963. The CIA and its covert operations would stop at nothing to remove and silence idealistic politicians working for peace, racial minorities seeking a voice, ordinary citizens trying to make a difference and positive change in the world. The fact that a powerful few could not only take out a President in broad daylight in front of thousands of onlookers, completely control media response and access, seize and hide away the photographic and film evidence, seize the body of the fallen President and alter and defile it, then murder their fall guy again in public in front of everyone spells only one thing to me----PURE EVIL. And that wasn't enough insult and injury, they had to make it look "legitimate" by forming the Warren Commission and having puppet politicians control and manipulate witnesses and sworn testimony. And they continue to justify their actions by saying, Oh well JFK was a philanderer and reckless and deserved what he got.

They bought off, intimidated, and murdered witnesses, anyone who was close to the truth was either eliminated or discredited. Most of it so we could start an illegal war based on a lie. And yet few seem to see the parallels between what happened then and what is happening now. I read a saying once that says "The greatest predictor of the future is the past."

The REAL ASSASSIN IS........................................................................................ to tell the truth... no one knows except for the MAN who did it... the people involved and the government.. no one will ever find out so why sit on computers and write back and forth on who thinks who did it... all anyone is doing on here is writing what they think is most convincing from which book or whatever movie they watched because NONE of you wrote a book or came up with your own conclusion. i would just like to say. "No matter How Important or how bad JFK was... He is dead and thats the end of it. so please people STOP the on going debate on whos right and whos wrong... technically None of you have proof so.. i guess thats it sorry to offend anyone but thats life and thats reality Please get over it and move on with your life Thank You....

If you have any comments or would just like to discuss my feelings on who I think did it ( because i do however think there was ONE Group involved.. Eamil me at) boothkid123456789@yahoo.com

feel free to tell me your opinion.. i have a debate class so this will help alot with my final project. Thanks alot

Sincerely,

Mike

If you're curious about what happened in Dealey Plaza on 11/22/63 simply watch the Zapruder film. It's very clear that JFK was hit from the front. One lone nut, two lone nuts, CIA, Mafia, military-industrial complex; why waste time arguing with fools who can't or won't accept the truth. Just watch the film. The rest of the world knows the truth. Brokaw's generation was fooled like a pack of jack asses. It's shameful that no one stood up to LBJ, Hoover and the Warren Commission. It's always been bullets and not ballots in this Country. Too bad!

The History Channel the other night played a special on the JFK assassination. They quoted a Warren Commission attorney who said he was eager to find some sort of conspiracy but found no evidence of one.

The special also noted the unfortunate circumstance in which all that many young people today "know" of the assassination is from Oliver Stone's fictional movie, "JFK."

Also noted was that Jim Garrison was nothing close to the hero he was made out to be in that movie...

I believe it is needless to discuss whether Oswald shot the President or not. It's obvious that he was just a patsy. I wonder if anyone has information about two Oswalds. John Armstrong claims that there were two Oswalds Lee and Harvey.His accounts of the Tippit shooting seem pretty convincing.A lot of witnesses saw Oswald at different places at the same time. I recommend those who are interested, to read John Armstrong's jaw dropping article Harvey,Lee and Tippit.

The story for years has been that there were only three shots. Lets count now: One shot completely misses the limousine just missing Jim Teague standing at the triple underpass, one shot hits both JFK and the governor, one shot hits JFK in the head, one shot hit the limousine in the windshield, one shot hits the limousine & damages the rear view mirror, and another shot hits the limousine on the dashboard. I'm counting five shots here folks. By the way, what were the secret service agents doing in the front seat of the limousine when the windshield, rear view mirror and the dashboard were being hit by seperate shots?

Along with my prayers for peace in our nation and around the world in 2007 I submit the following quote:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."

Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953

The purpose was not simply to remove JFK because he did this or that, nor was the conspiracy the work of a particular agency or faction. The brutality of the assassination is always overlooked; in typical mafia fashion, it sent out a message to every man in power and every future president: “do your job, but don’t overreach yourself! You are not the most powerful man in the world!” People in high places began to cover up the facts simply out of fear. They did not know from whom exactly the message had come, but it was quite loud: “Forget about the constitution! WE can kill the president and get away with it!” People preferred, for obvious reasons, not to find out the truth. Politicians take this particular conspiracy theory very seriously, you can be sure of that.

The Italian mafia may have been contracted to kill JFK and then Oswald, but the crime would never have stayed unsolved unless it was sanctioned by the greater mafia, the corporate mafia. On that day, they staged a coup d’etat unlike anything seen in history, they disproved by force the existence of democracy, justice, the rule of the people and of the law itself! They showed that nothing had changed and nothing will ever change.

John and Bobby were meddling too much in CIA affairs for their own good, they were two daring, good-looking young would-be heroes, and they managed to piss the grey, ruthless, unknown figures in power who were never elected and would never be voted out.

Reportedly, there exists a tape recording of Marilyn Monroe in which she talks about holding a press conference and revealing to the public: 1) the truth about her affairs with the Kennedy brothers 2) secret information obtained from them between the sheets, including that UFOs and extraterrestrials are real. Luckily for “skeptics”, she committed suicide.

I have thought about this incident for

many years . I have come to the conclusion that the truth sometimes is

stranger than fiction will ever be. L.

Oswald was responsible and why can't

this be accepted as to what happened

that day in Dallas many years ago?
