president john f kennedy was a very hated man it was proven that over 400 threat's where filed against him and 3 serious one's..now i beleive oswald was just a setup for the goverment cause why wasn't there any security or protection when JFK was cruising down those streets the goverment had to do something with it so does operation mongoose.oswald couldn't have been the only one that shot those shot's. there are quite a few people involved in this that's why it's so protected and covered! what kind of goverment is that?well if these guy's never get caught in all the diaster and missery they've done and not comfront it,qoute my word's "they well pay for it in hell!!"

according to many people -there had to be more than one assasin because there was no way that all the shots could have been shot from that one gun as it would take longer than the 6 seconds. Well, maybe Oswald had more than one gun with him, so if he was found out he would give the impression that he was not alone and end up without all the blame...

The recent victory of the Democrats in the House and the Senate has sent a strong message to the power brokers in Washington reminding them of who is paying their salaries----the American taxpayers. And we were and are fed up with a select few wielding such power over people's lives and the future of our country. They have mishandled our nation with reckless disregard and now the balance of power has shifted away from them. It has restored my faith in the American system! But fellow Americans, be wary and ever watchful! It is your money they are spending up there. There is still so much that we have not held them accountable for. And one of those things is the assassinations of the 1960's!!! Now would be a good time to hold all those newly elected democrats to the test, make them release all the documents related to the assassinations and get to the truth once and for all!

At the time of the assassination of Lee H. Oswald, I was in the assigned to a Military Police unit. I use the term “assassination� intentionally.

While in the custody of the Dallas Police Department, Oswald was questioned but complained of being denied legal representation. Would the Dallas Police have risked the corruption of their criminal case in such a manner? Did they know he wouldn’t leave the building alive?

I watched as the Dallas Police Department escorted the most important criminal suspect in the world through a crowded exit from their building. I saw an escort to his left, his right, and behind. They had left his frontal region totally exposed for any “Jack Ruby� with a gun. They had violated the most basic procedures of prisoner escort.

“The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The committee was unable to identify the other gunmen or the extent of the conspiracy� (Report of the Select Committee on Assassinations of the U.S. House of Representatives)

Mr Lee Harvey Oswald was the actor. Mr. Jack Ruby was the second actor.There were five to nine snipers. There were over ten shots. United States your own killed Mr. John F Kennedy with Trained Cuban snipers and some Trained Americans. Mr Lee Harvey Oswald was never killed. It was all a act. Same with Mr. Jack Ruby. Paid off with millions and relocated. They might still be alive today..From start to finish it was all a play. Fake..The only real thing was Mr. John F Kennedy was killed..Everything else was scripting at it's best .EVERYTHING WAS A LIE...........The Killer...Mr. George Herbert Walker Bush

I learned more from watching the 2 DVD set The Men Who Killed Kennedy than any other source, it was produced in England, they would never have produced it here. There are things on there that the American media will NEVER tell you. As far as I am concerned, our illustious media is an accessory after the fact. They have done NOTHING to get to the truth, and neither has the Department of Justice, it is their DUTY to continue the investigation if they find a probable conspiracy which they did. People, write to your Congressmen and Congresswomen, we cannot let this lie. IT IS TOO IMPORTANT!!!

Did everyone catch the news about the FBI deciding to dig up Jimmy Hoffa based on some bogus tip?? If that does not show Americans how inept these idiots are I do not know what does. And they had the AUDACITY to say that those involved could "still be prosecuted!" I wrote to my Congresswoman that how on earth could the murder of a low level mob guy and former racketeer and teamster boss and hoodlum be MORE important than the murder of a President?? I don't get it, I resent my tax money being spent to try and find out who killed Jimmy Hoffa!! We know who killed Jimmy Hoffa.

I have never in my life seen a more protracted conspiracy of silence than I have seen in the American media when it comes to the JFK case. They went after Oliver Stone like a pit bull. If you see JFK, be sure to get the director's cut with the "bonus material" DVD, also a wealth of information and interviews that you will not see elsewhere.

If we do not hold these people accountable we will be revisiting this kind of thing again and again.

You saw the same cast of characters at Watergate that you saw in the Kennedy assassination, still wielding their secret power, a number of them are still in Washington today. Let's clean House and hold the American press accountable for it's lies. I recently saw online at the Houston Chronicle website and editorial written on the 40th anniversary of the JFK assassination. It was the most ridiculous piece of journalism I have ever seen. As if there had not even been a House Select Committee that came up with a different finding. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE AMERICAN MEDIA FOR GOD'S SAKE???!!!

The Government was behind it. They staged many things before, including the Gulf of Tongking incident which led us to the Vietnam War (they have proven this).

Kennedy himself fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs when he proposed a

plan to stage terrorist attacks on American students and places in Miami (this is also declassified from the CIA) to have a pretense to invade Cuba.

Also the Cuban Missile Crisis clearly shows from tape recordings in the situation room, the Oval Office and other places that Kenny O'Donnal, RFK and JFK didn't want war, they didn't want to attack Cuba unless all other measures and paths were exhausted. However, the Joint CHiefs, the military leaders in the Pentagon and the CIA wanted to bomb Cuba where the nuclear missiles were being held. Of course, JFK saw through this because if we bombed the missiles Russia would take Berlin, then we would have to retaliate...we would spiral down where there was only one end and that was the use of nuclear weapons. Luckily, Kennedy didn't want war and chose a quarantine of Cuba and turned the incoming ships back to Russia. This pissed the military and CIA off. But in the end, Kennedy agreed with Khrushchev to take our missiles out of Turkey and that we would never invade Cuba, and Russia would remove all missiles from Cuba and would allow UN weapons inspectors in. Of course this infuriated everyone but the Kennedys. But it was the right thing to do. Kennedy, because of this, was now painted as soft on communism.

I'm not much of conspiracy nut only when strong evidence is presented. But it's obvious that Kennedy was killed because he was for peace. He didn't want the war in Vietnam, he didn't want duclear war with Russia, he didn't want to invade Cuba, he didn't want anything what the warmongers wanted. Bless him. He was ahead of his time and that's what costed him his life, and his brother's as well. I'll be in my 50's when the documents surrounding the JFK murder is supposedly going to be released. I can't wait, it's too long. One thing is for sure. One day, when we all are at the pearly gates, we'll figure out who killed Kennedy and why. This is a terrible world, and the dasturdly murder of JFK proves it is because our own government, our own so-called protectors elminated their own, our President which we elected to protect us from enemies foreign and domestic, our President that we elected to keep us away from War and death.

On November 22nd, 1963 there was a coup de'tat in this country. And who says it can't happen again?

Had JFK lived and got elected to a second term, he would have been hands down the best President we would ever had or would ever have. God Bless our slain President, his spirit, his soul, his life, his idea, his vision lives on in our hearts.

I believe oswald did pull the trigger that day. Although i also believe that there was another shooter at the grassy knoll, which i believe is where the fatal and final shot came from. The way that shot threw Kennedy backwards could not possibly of come from behind him. Somewhere in this case i believe there is a big cover up, and maybe we will never know the truth. But one thing is for sure. Oswald was shot for a reason, to keep quiet.

Oswald did'nt do it.His crime?Being gullible.The Warren Report?Fiction!Oswald did'nt kill anybody and the Warren Comission knew it.The Goverment

investigated itself.JFK was ahead of his time.Too liberal for those times.

But he is what was needed during that era.A revelation;Gerald Posner and others of his ilk knows that Oswald was

framed.Someone earlies mentioned the psycological overtures concerning the case.I do believe that LHO was looking

for place to'belong'.Due to his background,Oswald may have resorted to

a sort of a 'people pleasing'mentallity.

Poeple like that can always be manuevered.Mr.Kennedy,like all presidents,was looking to leave his mark on history.He also refused to 'play

ball'with certain elements and factions

of the Goverment.There were too many

witnesses in Dealy Plaza on that day for

the Warren Commission to come up with a

bogus report.People who saw the murder with their own eyes.Ok,they proved in a

physics lab that the single bullet theory could have occured but that is what a physics lab is;a place to prove

the improbable.What is the word that is

constantly used to describe the supposed

murder weapon? Cheap.The weapons used for the murder were high quality arms.

Oswald was a double agent in that he was

working for military intelligence on one hand and infiltrated some sort of

renegade or right wing organization(s)

on the other.After the murder,he was betrayed by military intell.and also

by the renegade groups who may have sensed or 'caught wind'of who he really

was and who he was working for.If he had

really been the assassin,they would have

never been any need to 'set him up'by

using imposters to suggest that he was in

places when he was acually elsewhere.

The Goverment has always been on the defensive.It has constantly used physcis labs,computer,'experts'and other means to proves the LHO murdered

Kennedy.When someone goes through so many lenghts to convince you of something,believe the opposite.

HAS ANYONE CONSIDERED ISRAEL & THE MOSSAD IN ANY OF THIS ? IF NOT , WHY NOT ?

WHAT DID LBJ DO RIGHT AFTER THE DEATH OF JFK ?

Good point about Oswald. And of course there are Ruby's exact words to the Warren Commission members,"People had so much to gain by putting me in the position I am in", asking to be taken back to Washington.

Does anyone have any theories about Officer Tippit? That is one part of the story that I have never been able to figure out. He was not in his usual jurisdiction, but the police said since so many officers were sent downtown that they had to send him to cover Oak Cliff. I have often thought he was sent to Oak Cliff to "take out" Oswald, but now I am not so sure. They said bullets from 2 different guns were recovered from his body. Oswald certainly did not have 2 guns on him. It seemed plausible that Oswald may have killed him in self defense.

If Oswald's only goal in life was to be a famous assassin,then why didn't he admit killing the president when he was paraded in front of the press?It doesn't make any sense to want to go down in history denying that you murdered the president?Lee Harvey Oswald was exactly what he said he was...a patsy!Case closed.

There is no doubt about the fact that Oswald didn't even fire a shot, look at the timings when Roy Truly and the cop found him in the lunch room of the TSBD.

The most important evidence is what the Parkland doctors saw, that is a entry would in the front of the neck. They observed this minutes after JFK was shot, therefore no oppotunity for alteration of the wounds. Frontal entry wound means more than one shooter, therefore conspiracy, end of story. But there's more why wasn't the autopsy allowed to be performed at Parkland Hospital, obviously to allow the changes to the wounds to be done before the official autopsy as witnessed by the FBI agents Sibert and O'Neill

I actually found out more plausible conspiracy info by watching the Nigel Turner series, The Men Who Killed Kennedy. Also the movie made in 1973, a full 20 years before Oliver Stone's called Executive Action starring Burt Lancaster gives a much more plausible scenario, that the hired gunmen were foreign. All these guys who say they fired the fatal shot are looking for nothing but publicity. This was a strategically planned and executed "hit", planned by CIA, Mafia, and high level military. They would never have hired anyone who could be traced back to any of their organizations, these were brilliant, cold, calculating men. Alot of them appeared again at Watergate, Nixon tried to blackmail the CIA to get the government off his back, by threatening to expose the Kennedy killers. It's on tape. And if you want to know how Bobby Kennedy was killed, see The Manchurian Candidate. That lone nut theory is even more ridiculous than Oswald.

JFK was shot by the CIA because he wanted to pull all of the american troops out of vietnam.

Just wanted to make a few points about the post before mine, i wish i was like him. Ignore is really bliss isnt it.

I will not bother to say more except if this case was an open and shut case as the previous person says, then why would the US goverment restrict all the JFK files till the year 2039? That alone in enough to suspect foul play.

I wonder how stupid it is possible to be reading all what the smart asses and hard cases are writing here. If you should believe all you read and all you hear, it is a crazy world we live in. John F Kennedy was shot by a single assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, from the 6th floor south east corner window at the Texas School Book Depository building. Period. 3 shots were fired, all coming from here and also stated by witnesses standing by the windows below the 6th floor.

im only in year 9 and im doing an essay wether we think lho did kill him and if so was he alone now it his easy to grip but no one will ever know what really happened

I am continously fascinated, in a grim sort of way, of the continued perpetuation of the nonsensical theories supporting multiple assassins, conspiracies, etc. etc. If you were to look at this as simply a homocide case it wouldnt merit 30 minutes of overtime for any investigator, private or otherwise. A simple review of the physical evidence, let along all that's circumtancial, and anyone with any degree of common sense will understand that Oswald and Oswald alone was the assassin. Any conclusion other than that after a carefull review of the case is pure fantasy. Americans are a conspiracy minded society and will never as a whole, accept the truth. As for the Warren Report, forget about whatever you think of it and just look at the evidence. It speaks for itself.

"While one of the pieces of physical evidence could conceivably have been faked by an expert, there is no possibility that an expert, or team of super-experts, could have fabricated the perfectly coordinated whole. This brings to mind the recurrent theme in most conspiracy books. {I.E.:} All the officials alternate between the role of "Keystone Kops", with the inability to recognize the implications of the most elementary evidence, and "Evil Geniuses", with superhuman abilities to fake physical evidence, that is in complete agreement with all the other faked evidence."

Have you EVER given thought to the above statement? I mean, really thought about it intellectually? From your writings Mr. Clemons, several areas appear

apparent. Firstly, you're not a very educated man. Secondly, you'll take everything told to you at face value without EVER giving deep thought to the logic

of any of it. Do you realize many respected JFK researchers choose to believe the "Lone Nutter" scenario before the "Files Scenario"? Why do you believe that is? Have you again given ANY thought to this interesting scenario? Despite the fact that most of those intellectually qualified to evaluate the evidence in this case derisively reject conspiracy, you march right along believing as you do. Your writings show the mind of an individual so wrapped up in conspiracy theory that you simply can't see the trees in the forest. I once suggested to you that you attempt to understand LHO, the man. Several points to consider.

1. As a child, Lee on two different occasions stabbed his uncle and brother with knives. He exhibited pathological behavior as a child.

2. As a teen, he walked the streets of NYC where his brother Robert believed he came touch with those persons pursuing Marxism.

3. He joined the Marine Corps. as a way of getting away from "maw" as he called his mother.

4. While in the Marines, he was continually abused by other Marines for being a "sissy boy".

5. He was not taught Russian in Corps. He learned it on his own.

6. While in the Marine Corps he is court martialed twice.

7. His close friend, Kerry Thornley talks in detail that Lee was a committed communist at this point.

8. Shortly after Marrying Marina, the physical abuse began. He beat her constantly.

9. Upon his return from Russia in 1962, he lived with brother Robert in Ft. Worth continuing the abuse of Marina.

10. Per Robert again: "Lee always felt superior to other people". "He never wanted others to know what he was thinking".

11. A close associate in the Corps says of Oswald: "He was a committed communist at this point".

12. He wrote his brother Robert from Russia: "I want you to understand that what I say to you now, I do not say lightly, or

unknowingly, since I've been in the military....in the event of war, I would kill any American who puts a uniform on in

defense of the American government --and then ominously added for emphasis "ANY AMERICAN".

13. If you go through Oswald's defection to the Soviet Union, there's something that we have today that we didn't have before

just a couple of years ago which is information from KGB files. The largest single archive on Oswald that's ever existed

in the world. It provides surveillance on Oswald for nearly a two year period. Per the KGB: "Ah, he looks crazy but maybe

he's an American "sleeper agent". They follow him for two years with electronic surveillance, video surveillance having agents

go and talk to him, planting informants around him at work and in his personal life. What do they come up with? Well, all the CT's

conclude Oswald was in fact part of American Intelligence but the Russians conclude he is the "eccentric sociopath" he appeared to

be when he first defected to the Soviet Union in 1959.

14. At one point, Oswald's radio at work breaks. He was listening to Voice of America (it was not being jammed at this time). Lee attempts

to fix it. He can't. An associate comes in and fixes a plate in the back. It literally doesn't take anything more than moving

the screw. The KGB agents go out (this is in Oswald's file) and are laughing hysterically about this because it indicates that Oswald

didn't even have what I call "spy 101". He didn't know the basics of radio communications. When Lee leaves the Soviet Union

in 1962 his file is sent to G2 Cuban Intelligence with a note: "This guy is of no use to us. See what you can do with him".

15. Oswald has by the beginning of 1963 when he orders both a rifle and a pistol settled in his own form of leftist politics combined

with a heavy does of anarchism. He's writing in his own journal, in his own handwriting about what might be, if in fact all

society was ripped down and we could start from scratch. He settles on political assassination as his focus. This is his goal.

16. Lee is interviewed by the FBI. They asked him directly: "Are you associated with American Intelligence"? Lee smiles and

responds, "don't you know"? Later, when asked by Robert what happened Lee smiles and winks. Per Robert: "This is the

essence of my brother". "He likes to fool with people". "He never wants you to know what he's thinking". He did the same thing

at the Dallas Police Station on 11/22".

15. The target he picks for assassination --General Walker, April, 1963. He misses. That night, he came home in great excitement.

He thought he'd killed Walker. Marina then asked him to move to New Orleans due to her fear that he would continue to stalk

the General.

16. On September 7, 1963 A.P. Reporter Daniel Harker interviews Fidel Castro in Havana. Castro says "if the American government

continues its' attempts to assassinate Cuban leaders they themselves will not be safe". The story first appears in the New Orleans

Times Picayune on September 9th. Oswald no doubt read this interview.

17. Oswald goes to the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City. He wanted a Visa to Cuba. He meets with Kostikov, a KGB agent responsible

for assassination in the western hemisphere. He also meets with Nechiporenko and Yatskov two other KGB agents. They cable

the KGB in Moscow for directions. The KGB in Moscow says "Give that nut a turn away" (diplomatic turn away). "Send him away,

we don't want anything to do with him". These three KGB agents have written a book about 1963. Oswald was actually considered

by the KGB as "unstable". They knew he was irrational. He had pulled out a pistol and started to wave it around inside the

soviet embassy saying that the FBI was trying to kill him. This is the man who returns in October of 1963, with his life spiraling

out of control.

18. Upon his return to Dallas per Marina: "Lee would sit with his rifle for hours at a time practicing what he called "dry runs". "He would

operate the bolt action so that he was proficient with it". In the Marines, having been both a sharpshooter and a marksman, it meant

that he was capable of hitting a 10-inch target at a distance of 200 years 8 times out of 10. From the TSBD, his longest shot is

some 90 yards.

19. By October, 1963 Lee and Marina are separated. He is living in a boarding house on N. Beckley. He hates his job. He has no

money. Agent Hosty of the FBI is harassing him. On July 25th, he'd received a letter from the Department of the Navy that

his undesirable discharge would not be overturned. As Robert said: "it was a terrible thing to watch". "His life was out of

control".

20. His final two weeks before 11/22 were spent at work and at his boarding room. He received NO phone calls and made

but one call: To Marina. On the night before the assassination, he attempted to reconcile with Marina. She refused.

21. On November 23rd, Robert spent 12 minutes with Lee in the Dallas Jail. He asked Lee "why"? Lee just smiled. Per

Robert: "I looked into his eyes.....and I knew he had done it". As Robert had said months earlier: "Lee was playing with

the Dallas Cops". "He never wanted anybody to know what he was thinking".

Bob, I do believe you're a good American. I also believe you've become lost and misguided by the amount of pure and total

bullshit you've read over the past 40 plus years. To many conspiracy theorists focus on technical questions about the shots

that killed JFK or the quality of the medical evidence or spent time trying to establish that a plot existed somewhere. The

endless tangle of questions about bullets, trajectories, wounds, time sequences and inconsistent testimony surrounding the

assassination has obsessively fascinated, if not entirely blinded a generation of assassinations buffs to the neglect of

Oswald himself. The American government is guilty of a cover-up, no doubt about it. I won't comment whether this

is right or wrong. Lies over Vietnam, Watergate, Iran-Contra and a succession of falsehoods and nefarious plots by

those entrusted by us with leadership have led to a spiraling loss of faith in authority and reinforced the perception that

conspiracy is widespread and constant. As the grandfather of modern conspiracies, the JFK assassination sets the

groundwork by which many people confuse Oliver Stone's JFK and television programs such as The X-Files as twisted

nonfiction snapshots. By understanding Oswald and the assassination and appreciating it for the simplicity it embodies,

we bring ourselves and our history back to a level of sanity that has been lost for decades.
