JFK is shot and people make up a huge deep state conspiracy.

Ford is shot at twice and Reagan gets shot and everyone assumes those were just some looney tunes.

Reagan and Ford's families didn't work alongside the mafia to get their son's into power then have one of said son's go after the mafia.

The shooter for JFK was murdered, and the guy who murdered him died in jail before he could testify.

Ford's assailants went to jail and completed their sentences. Both were paroled in the last 10 years and are still alive.

Reagan's went to the nuthouse. He was released last year and he's still alive.

Because nobody actually “saw” LHO do JFK all alone. OTOH, both shooters of Ford and Reagan were right there, in plain sight.

I remember Howard Cossel announcing on Monday Night Football that Mark David Chapman shot Presidebt Raegan like it was yesterday.

And you forgot to mevtikn the RFK conspiracy.

Dr Martin Luther King was definitely a conspiracy, but you never hear about it. James Earl Ray made it to England before getting caught.

Read a book called "I Heard You Paint Houses". JFK and moreso his brother were messing with people that you didn't mess with back then.

JFK wins Illinois and the Presidency with the help of Sam Giancana, leader of the Chicago Outfit.

The CIA uses Johnny Roselli, member of the Chicago Outfit, to act as a middle man between the CIA and Santo Trafficante and Carlos Marcello in an attempt to assassinate Castro.

JFK appoints his brother Robert as AG, who then launches an attack on the mafia and illegally deports Marcello into the Central American jungle.

Oswald, the man who allegedly killed Kennedy, spends a good bit of time in New Orleans passing out pro-Castro literature.

After Kennedy is killed, Oswald is killed by Jack Ruby, a man with long-standing ties to the Marcello Crime Family.

The Warren Commission, fearing backlash if Americans find out about collusion between the CIA and the mafia, officially name Oswald as the sole killer.

This is why there's a conspiracy. A bunch of shady characters, shady dealings and government secrecy about the entire issue.

Despite being quite conservative by today's standards, JFK is a liberal deity. If their God is FDR, then JFK is their Jesus Christ.

But, as somewhat of a Presidential historian myself - there is an alarming lack of safety around our Presidents going back to Andy Jackson - recall that the 16th (Lincoln), 20th (Garfield) and 25th (McKinley) Presidents were actually shot and killed at close range, while in office. I can't go into all of them here for brevity, but a would be assassin pulled the trigger on 2 dueling pistols a few feet from Andy Jackson.

A guy was arrested with a pistol just a few feet from Taft and the President of Mexico. As a former President and current candidate, Teddy was actually shot during a campaign speech (based Teddy Roosevelt finished the speech - didn't have time to bleed).

President Elect FDR was shot at (and the Mayor of Chicago was killed during the same incident).

And the plots and uncovered plans are many and varied. You mentioned Ford and Reagan. There was also a credible, mature plan to kill H.W. while he was on a foreign trip post-Presidency. Clinton was the subject of multiple attempts - 3 in 1994 alone, 1 while jogging, 1 guy used a plane to try to crash into the WH and yet another guy emptied a high capacity magazine into the WH.


SO - it's amazing we haven't lost more Presidents with this track record.

You need to read

"A Texan Looks At Lyndon"

Also, the Reagan shooting was a conspiracy too, and it did gain a little traction, there just wasn't evidence like in the JFK murder.

You could start by asking GHWB, but his mind is not what it was a few years ago.

If you can't see the inherent suspiciousness of the JFK assassination then that's on you.

dead vs. not dead

and the Ford Reagan shooters were obviously looney tunes

Kennedy for being so "beloved" sure had a lot of people who the conspiracy pushers thought wanted him dead. He was a mediocre president who just happened to be the first mediocre president with TV. He would be to the right of at least 15 current Republican US senators.
