		<description>To this day, my father insists that the first weapon displayed as the murder weapon was a Mauser, not a Mannlicher-Carcano.  FBI marksmen attempting to duplicate Oswald&#039;s alleged feats were unable to do so because the rifle scope was not properly sighted.  Could this have been because the scope was removed from one weapon and placed on another?  Although a good scope mount may hold a zero when removed from a rifle and replaced, if placed on another rifle, it would be very unlikely to be properly aligned for the second weapon and would have to be re-zeroed.

Kennedy&#039;s brain was spattered across the car&#039;s trunk to his left rear.  Mrs. Kennedy actually crawled out of her seat and can be seen trying to gather some of this material.  A MC officer to the left rear of the car was also sprayed with blood and brain matter.  This is consistent with being struck from the right front, not from the rear or right rear.

Anyone who has ever recovered a bullet from a deer, especially one that has struck bone, can attest to the impossibility of a &quot;magic bullet&quot; traversing two bodies, striking bone, and remaining almost pristine.

The timing of the bullet strikes as shown by the Zapruder film dispenses absolutely with theories that have Kennedy and Connally struck by a single bullet.  The trajectory of the original shot, as alleged by investigators, also precludes such an occurrence.</description>

		<description>The US House Select Committee on Assasinations conclued:
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.

This was the final, official word on the Kenneday assasination.  Anti-conspiracy buffs (&quot;nuts,&quot; as some may call them) conveniently overlook this fact.

Oddly, although they concluded there was a conspiracy, they also concluded that that none of the &quot;usual suspects&quot; were involved, and did not venture to say who they thought was behind the conspiracy.</description>

		<description>All I said was that Oswald couldn&#039;t possibly have been acting alone...

The military industrial complex was against him...

The intelligence community was against him...

The Cubans in Miami were against him...

And the mob was against him...

Somewhere in there, in some combination of some or all of the above, the truth can be found.....</description>

		<description>I see no need to get into a discussion of who, why etc on the killing of the president. Assume that in fact a crazed commie did it, and he was alone. But the post suggests that Media Matters suggests the Right Wing was responsible . No.
Media Matters merely said, and accurately, that the right in Dallas was very anti-JFK. I seem to recall that it was so anti-JFK that the president was warned not to go there. Alas, he did.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s shocking to me that people still haven&#039;t figured out why President Kennedy was killed.

A Secret Service veteran explains it in very simple terms on this website:

		<description>Joe;

With all due respect to your pal Bill, nobody knows the details of what actually happened, but there are a few obvious signs that point towards the most likely suspects.

Castro really burned the mafia, and they wanted to do him in big time. So did a lot of Cubans whose homeland was taken over by the Marxist dictator.

JFK really threatened the CIA, which by definition is a covert entity with tentacles everywhere that is known to have employed some pretty sleazy contractors when needed...

Pissed off Cubans patriots, pissed off mafiosi, and pissed off spooks working together, represent a pretty powerful bunch of folks with LOTS of assets at their disposal, and regardless of what anyone thinks, it&#039;s just not plausible to think that a lone gunman, with a crappy weapon, could have pulled it off on his own... Theoretically possible, sure, but highly unlikely. Killing a US President surrounded by the Secret Service simply isn&#039;t an easy thing to do.

The evidence of gunshots coming from different directions at the crime scene are numerous. The timing of the shots makes it virtually impossible for one marksman to deliver 3 or 4 shots with an old bolt action piece without a scope like Oswald had, and as I keep repeating, a high powered rifle shot from the rear CANNOT make a human head fly violently back and to the left. I saw head shots in Nam, and it&#039;s just not possible.

As to your questions about Garrison... OK. Was he imbalanced... possibly, after flying almost 40 dangerous recon missions over Nazi territory and being in the first group that liberated one of the worst of the Nazi&#039;s death camps, some form of PRSD is certainly possible, but he joined the National Guard after leaving the army, &amp; I&#039;m not sure that he was ever cashiered on a section 8.

The assassination was a terribly shocking and emotional event for the country, and with JFK&#039;s popularity it&#039;s not surprising that everyone got involved in speculation, but the final part of the story that makes it so hard to believe the Warren Report, is the fact that any report issued by a governmental agency about an incident so charged with political repercussions is simply, by definition, hard to believe, especially when you consider how deeply dishonest and corrupt the beneficiary of the killing, LBJ actually was...</description>
