How the CIA came to doubt the official story of JFK’s murder http://politi.co/2v6BuSY via @philipshenon & @LarrySabato in @POLITICOMag

I'm in the no way it was a single shooter camp

It wasn't that difficult a shot. I watched some old-timer use the same model rifle and easily get the shots off in time. Oswald didn't need to be a great shooter, merely decent.

Oswald plotted the assination in Mexico with the KGB weeks before. At a bull fight stadium. That is beyond conspiracy it's pretty much common knowledge.

easy shot, 95 yards at target moving in straight line and constant velocity. Oswald as a marine had to hit 500 yards to qualify as a rifleman.

I've studied this murder for most of my life. I don't like to really talk about it anymore since it's like talking to someone about religion.

This is the best theory I've heard from a guy back in the military industrial complex in those days. Who happened to be my neighbor back in the late 70s or early 80s.

1.Everyone in Washington HATED JFK. The Establishment just detested him. The public and media loved him.

2.During the Cuban Missile Crisis we did not get all the nukes out of Cuba. The U.N. not the U.S., was in charge of removing nukes there. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. There were nukes there until the 77/78 when the Carter Administration did a deal with Castro to get those out. That's why we never messed w/ Cuba in the mid 60s and 70s.


3.Due to this secret, JFK was being blackmailed by Khrushchev and the Russians. He was giving passing top secret information due to the blackmail. Washington insiders knew this and had to put an end to it.

The best snipers thru history have tried to replicate that shot and none were even close to doing it. Before they closed the window with glass @ the book depository, you could walk up and see the angle and it shot down the stupid single bullet theory.

ok that's enough. i won't talk anymore. this shit is enough to ruin someone's day.

Are you telling me a sniper can't hit a 95 yard target? They recreated it from the depository on a Peter Jennings special 15 years ago or so. Easy shot, anyone who went through basic training could hit it.

Wasn't the rifle Oswald supposedly used a piece of shit?

People love the conspiracy theories as JFK has become a larger than life figure and it's just too much to accept that a man who failed at almost everything in life could kill him.

Jack Ruby is the one piece that adds fuel to the notion that there was a conspiracy at work. Why would he want to kill Oswald?

you would be surprised what a bolt action rifle in poor condition can do. I've fired 75-80 year old mosins and so long as the sights are good (he had a scope so that's even better than iron sights) you'll hit your target.

just a pissed off guy who wanted to take the law into his own hands. I'd imagine if Trump were killed today and some pissed off Trumpster had had the opportunity to kill the assassin, they would. (especially since his followers are like cultists)

Didn't the FBI do studies about just how shitty the functionality of that specific rifle were? I'm not saying the guy couldn't get one good shot off with it, but apparently the rapid fire nature of the shots would have required minor adjustments to the amount of pull on the trigger amongst other things.

3 shots in 8 seconds really isn't rapid fire by any definition for a bolt action. Especially when you start counting at the trigger pull of the 1st shot.

Here is the big thing about conspiracies, nothing in Washington remains a secret. Just look at Watergate if you don't believe me. You had one of the top men at the FBI feeding WaPo reporters.

For something like this, there would be a few dozen people in the know and one of them would've spoken and had evidence of it.
