IDK. It’s not historically accurate but it was entertaining.

Yeah, Ruby had well-known ties with the mob. Crazy how he knew exactly when Oswald was being transferred, and was allowed to simply walk straight up to Oswald during what I would've considered a moment of high-level security.

Dead men tell no tales.

Oswald is allegedly said to have used a Mannlicher-Carcano, World-War II vintage 6.5 mm Italian bolt-action rifle to do the shooting. We all saw the damage that this rifle did to Kennedy.

This is a smaller rifle and shoots a lower energy round than a 30-06.

That carcano has plenty of energy to do exactly what happened to JFK. I think oswald was groomed by cia/mob. Was he the only shooter? I don't know. There was a documentary where it was surmised that an agent accidentally shot JFK in the head when the car he was in gassed it causing him to fall back into the vehicle and accidentally discharging his rifle.

Seemed plausible and would explain why there was smell of gun smoke on the overpass. If that's truly what happened maybe there is a Kennedy curse. Talk about terrible luck.

No way. Grassy Knoll says otherwise.

There were other shots fired from different directions.

Oswald wasn’t a mastermind. He was a pawn.

Anyone remember Dorothy Killigan? Shortly before she was found dead under mysterious circumstances in her home, she was scheduled to meet with "I believe" four men in Texas about the assassination. We will never know how close she was to finding the truth about JFK's murder.

Oh, I agree 100%.


Now reread my post in the context of the most recent high profile assassination.

My entire life, born after the event though, I bought into the single shooter version. The magic bullet path, explained, imo. But I’m now less naive than I’ve been. After the dossier, the fake impeachments, 2020 late night count stoppages & J6 entrapment…

There’s “acting alone” and there’s getting help from faceless, nameless individuals who hide online or Snapchat… I’m thinking if they helped Oswald, they easily could have assisted Crooks as well. Too many coincidences for the latter to not have been planned out.

I actually think he was the “ Lee “ that alerted the police on the Chicago plot on Nov 2 . I think he knew there was a potential
Plot in Dallas but I don’t think he was part of the plot to kill jfk. I think he realized he was the patsy pretty quickly

This … I thought it was a conspiracy until I actually visited Dealey Plaza … which is a tiny area, the photos and videos skew its size … and it finally hit me how easy those shots from the Depository would have been for any average teenage deer hunter from the South, and how there would not have been sufficient places for a squadron of shooters to hide.

The reason for all the conspiracy theories on this isn’t Vietnam or the Illuminati or the Mafia or the CIA or anything else. It’s because it simply doesn’t compute in the average Michelob drinker sitting in his recliner watching Gunsmoke reruns’ brain that a piece of human debris, an utter nobody, pretty much gutter trash and flotsam and jetsam, could take out the most powerful human being on the planet in that fashion. The simple answer won’t suffice, there has to be something or someone else involved, that unnamed, nefarious “they” people are always on about.

I do. She was a journalist. Anybody who's ever watched an old show called "What's My Line" knows that she was very intelligent, too (As was the other woman on the panel, but I digress).

I've read more than once that Dorothy was telling close friends, "I'm getting ready to blow the lid off of the JFK assassination." But sadly, she was found dead inside her home at the age of 52.

There were some other untimely deaths, too, but it's probably been 30 years since I researched this.

Let’s say it was thwarted, how would the space time continuum be changed.

Kennedy goes on to a second term. Vietnam war is totally different. Either we don’t send as many boots on the ground or it goes hot with a blockade.

Does Goldwater and Wallace run in 1968?

Does the Voting Rights Act and other liberal policies get passed in 1964/1965?

Does Ronald Reagan run for office? Is Nixon elected in 1968?


Does the MIC still control the world?

Carlos Marcello organized it and planned it. People underestimate how powerful the New Orleans Mafia was at the time.

Anyone on here who has Sicilian roots in the New Orleans area more than likely had a great grandparent or grandparent that encountered Marcello when he was alive. The Sicilian community in New Orleans was so tight knit and seclusive at the time that it was normal for everyone to know each other.

It may exist but I’ve never seen it.

I would like to see a deep dive background investigation into Ofc. JD Tippit.

No doubt Oswald acted alone. Just the way he got the job at TBD proves it. Got job by his landlord hearing about an opening from a her friend around the corner. Too many things had to fall perfectly . Too many people would have had to be involved.

You need to watch the series. That issue is part of the plot. I’m not spoiling it here.
