Didn't know that Oswald killed a police officer shortly after Kennedy's assassination either.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Whether you believe it or not, it's a fun convo to debate. I don't think it is a case to be outright dismissed, or laughed off. There's a lot of weird coincidences, and convenient deaths surrounding the investigation.

Alex Jones has done serious damage to those of us willing to look into, and maybe believe a conspiracy or two. There are legitimate cover ups, and current operations worthy of exploration. Jones' far out bullshit like his Newtown actor conspiracy makes anyone who wants to ask questions about a sketchy topic seem irrational.

Oswald's mom was a whack job . . . a real narcissist. The other son nailed Marina just before she met with the Warren Commission. Weird.

Amen to that. Just a blast to read about. I used to think there was a conspiracy and have now moved over to the other side, but it is still fascinating reading. So many loose ends.

Official story says Oswald killed Tippet but witnesses described 2 men killing him, and the one who shot him was heavy set.

The debate will never end until they release all the files.

Also the assassination is still an official open investigation.

And yes, we will never know what really happened that day. LBJ did duck right before the shots, he had forewarning.

It was an inside job. Thats why they can't admit to the truth.

Ogie wins this thread

There's no denying the duck. So someone told him that was happening and he went along with it probably for political reasons. This means there has to be some sort of conspiracy... there's no way Oswald directly contacted LBJ. What would have been really clever is for the CIA/FBI to have some conspiracy going on, but write documents to support a different conspiracy and try to cover it up. Throw some people down some loose trails.

Maybe they can't handle the truth

Apparently, Gov. Connally was either not in on the conspiracy or he drew the shortest straw

Connally and his wife always said there was more than one shooter. No he wasn't in on it or he would have never got in the car. Oswald was a patsy. The planners were high up in the gov.

Yup some of us actually care about our country and it's history

The government is telling the truth.

I'm probably one of the most anti-government people on this board, but even I am skeptical when it comes to most conspiracy theories (whether it's JFK, 9/11, etc.) I have a simple explanation for why I don't buy into most conspiracy theories even though I do firmly believe our government to be awful. Why? Because I also uphold the belief that our government is too incompetent to pull of the conspiracy theories that people often describe.

and is there anything wrong w/ that?

One thing that always seemed suspicious is that footage with LBJ and the cabinet right after he becomes President where they all look like they know he was assassinated and that is what a coup de'tat.

Phenomenal movie if you haven't seen it.

Cranston is one of my favorite actors, but I just don't know how to feel about LBJ.

I remember it playing on HBO a lot, and I always thought I'd get around to it.
