John M:
"Seriously..."
-----------
I'm going to agree with you here but it really does go both ways with this case, John. There are some outrageous claims with CTers out there. To name a few:
The body being squirreled away from Parkland, dropped down into the cargo hold, whisked away on a thrumming helicopter at Andrews, and all manner of body manipulations by mad doctors with scalpels at the ready. All - for what...?
When the Z film shows that a single shooter supposedly pulls off a super human feat of marksmanship - one that has never been duplicated during controlled conditions - and yet we have crazies saying that the Z film needed FURTHER doctoring to cover up - what...?
When it's decided by secret agents with rain coats on and collars pulled up, decide to pluck a Hungarian kid from the streets post WWII - and his mother to boot - bring them back and train them to be secret agents and lookalikes of Lee Oswald, a mere nobody, and continue this charade for 16 years until 11/22. All - for what...?
I could go on, but you should get the gist of it.
On the other side of the coin, though, John, there are way too many inconsistencies with the official version, that same version you support unquestioned. To boot:
We're expected to believe Oswald was a raving leftist like McVeigh was a right-wing crazy who actually had a Sic Tyrants shirt on when he was arrested? Yet, Oswald denied doing any of the shootings he was accused of. We'd have to give him the benefit of the doubt but he never got his day in court with a good team of lawyers behind him.
And, oh yeah, for someone who supposedly did this to get back at America in some crazy way - why in the world was he still wearing his USMC ring? Oops. As a leftist, and with all things that ring represents, you'd think he would have thrown that away years ago.
We're expected to believe that three clean shots fired from the so-called sniper lair hit, then missed, then hit again, yet a trained Secret Service agent described a "flurry of shells" coming into the car?
We're expected to believe that the so-called missed shot hit way, way down the street? I mean WAY DOWN there all the way to where the underpass is, kicking up chips and hitting Tague?
We're expected to believe that all of these clean shots somehow nicked the windshield causing damage to it?
We're expected to believe that Oswald waltzed over and wiped down his rifle, stuffed it pretty well between boxes to hide it, then skipped down to the 2nd floor to be found calmly sipping a Coca Cola a minute and a half after the shooting? And yet, this raving madman forgot to pick up the shells but took the time to wipe the weapon down and try to hide it? If he was making a statement, why not just throw the weapon down in the lair, leaving his prints on it and the shells there too?
We're expected to believe that after murdering a policeman, Oswald throws his wallet down at the scene, ejects his shells as he walks away from the scene, takes off his jacket as he leaves? And yet, when arrested they pull out a second wallet from his pocket. So what was this...some extraordinary sleigh of hand?
I could go on, but you get the gist of it.
I think the biggest thing about this case is the incredible bias of folks who simply don't like Kennedy, the Kennedy family in general, or whatever warped thinking they have that will always block rational thought. I get that - folks think he was a playboy; the family is too rich; the father was crooked; and so on. And yeah, I'm going to put it out here now - Kennedy seemed like a good guy, but he did escalate the number of soldiers in Viet Nam and he and his brother both signed off on surveilling Martin Luther King, all the while inviting him to the WH after his speech on 8/28/63. So yeah, despite what those who worship Kennedy say, he does leave much to be desired.
But just because you don't like someone or hate their family, it doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a fair and rational investigation into his murder. Further, when you're biased, that biased thought is going to keep anyone from giving the narrative of the murder any rational thought.
If you take all of that bias away, there are way too many coincidences and oddities for it to be mere happenstance, John. Life in general just doesn't happen that way.
'Night John Boy. 'Night Mary Ellen.
