Richard is a poster on the Forum here. He's an excellent writer and rationalist concerning the JFK assassination. Rather like you.

Jim Garrison's Shot from the Sewer
This is Garrison Peak Crazy!
In December 1967, Jim Garrison sent out three press releases about a shot from the sewer that hit JFK. Today I present the three press releases and the pictures that accompanied them. It doesn't get any crazier than this, folks.

https://www.onthetrailofdelusion.com/post/jim-garrison-s-shot-from-the-sewer
What's puzzling is as the years go by - more than five decades of them - the theories and claims either keep being repeated or keep expanding, get more convoluted. One would think that after all of this time, after all of these investigations, after the release of all of this information that the explanation would become narrower, more unified. Nothing is dismissed; even the three tramps were in on it. Do the conspiracy believers agree on anything other than there was a conspiracy? And that anything can be dismissed?

But instead it stays in the same state it was about 50 years ago or it expands. The coverups (multiple ones) continue to this very day. Garrison's craziness is not much different than the garden variety nonsense we see here. Granted, much of this is just people engaged in a hobby, shooting the breeze. But some of this is taken seriously. Bless their little brains.

Norman Redlich, the chief author of the Warren Commission Report and a man who stood up to McCarthy and stood for liberal/progressive beliefs and would no more engage in essentially a fascist like act against the government than the proverbial man in the moon, said it best:

"I think there are simply a great many people who cannot accept what I believe to be the simple truth, that one rather insignificant person was able to assassinate the President of the United States."

But we get this or that evil thing the CIA did, and Watergate, and the government lies and so on. Yes, all of that is true but it has nothing to do with what happened that November day in Dallas.

When the lone crazy succeeds, it can be quite devastating. Some examples from the 1960s:
  • Thomas G. Doty (34)
    May 22, 1962, boarded Continental Airlines Flight 11 at O'Hare, exploded dynamite, causing plane to crash in Iowa killing all 45 onboard. Thought motivated by insurance fraud.
  • Francisco Paula Gonzales (27), competitor at the 1960 Summer Olympics
    May 7, 1964, boarded Pacific Air Lines Flight 773 in Reno, over California shot both pilots and himself, causing plane to crash killing all 44 onboard. Remains worst incident of mass murder in modern California history.
  • Charles Joseph Whitman (25), former Marine
    August 1, 1965, killed mother and wife, then later reach the observation deck of the UT Austin "Main Building" where he shot and killed 14 and wounded 32 over 96 minutes.
  • Richard Speck (25), convicted in Texas of forgery and burglary, was on run from burglary arrest warrant.
    July 13–14, 1966, killed eight student nurses in Chicago.
  • James Earl Ray (40), fugitive from Missouri State Penitentiary
    April 4, 1968, assassinated civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., single shot from Remington Gamemaster rifle. Conspiracy claims made.
  • Sirhan Sirhan (24)
    June 5, 1968, shot Senator Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles (who died following day). Five others shot, but they recovered. Conspiracy claims made.

Also the Boston Strangler and the Zodiac Killer.

We can add, in a different way, Jack Ruby. Granted he didn't hurt so many people, cause so much pain as the people above but I'm convinced that had he not shot Oswald that none of us would be here. None of us. Oswald would have talked, would have admitted to his acts, would have taken credit for his history changing event. He wanted to be a historic figure, this was his chance.

Yes, people would have said he was a victim of mind control, of Project MkUltra, or something else. Maybe that he had help. But that would be the fringe types, the Sirhan type defenders.
