It's gotten so much attention some of the TV shows on Kennedy have higher ratings than the "professional" wrestling shows. What is the world coming to? :roll:

In 1975 I was busy outlining an article on the assassination for (hopeful) publication in Playboy Magazine. My editor, at the time, shot me down handily, saying "who are you going to interview? Everybody's dead! Give it up, Danilo!" So I did. Looking back, there's still plenty of people who have written on the topic, and there certainly IS enough speculation to go around, perhaps I shouldn't have listened to him. But I did.
The article you link to, Wabbit, is interesting because it shows how little has changed in ten years, and how much has changed. We still have another 25 years before the Warren Commission evidence is revealed (2038), and we probably won't know anymore then than we do now!

I read an article about this person that devoutly investigated all the conspiracy theories to great length and expense, Castro, Russia, Mafia, LBJ, etc. He showed evidence that discounted all of them except one.

CIA.

I've had a personal "relationship" with the CIA, so of that I have no doubt! :thumbup:

Most don't realize it, but they are the enforcers, the hit men or Danites of the NSA.

DAMN! Hope I don't get another "interview" from INTERPOL. :thumbdown:

I've had a real personal relationship with the IRS. That's where the real criminals hang out. :thumbup: Oh crap! Here comes another audit and body cavity search. :roll:

I've done some studying also, magicray, and it's interesting that all 9 of the theories I'm aware of can pretty much be equally proven and disproven. That's what makes really great conspiracy theories! :thumbup:

I just watched a documentary called "JFK: The Smoking Gun" it's based on evidence presented in 2 different books and a 4 year investigation by veteran Australian police detective Colin McLaren. The final conclusion based on the study of the surviving forensic evidence and a thurough study of the Warren Commission report, which seemed to leave out as much as it revealed, is that Oswald missed on his first shot, a Secret Service Agent in the follow up car looked around and saw Oswald in the window. He reached down and grabbed an AR-15 and clicked off the safety, just as Oswald hit Kennedy with his second shot, as the agent stood up, the car accelerated and he fell backward and the gun accedently went off hitting Kennedy in the back of the head.

After seeing all the evidence presented and hearing how a dozen witnesses, including a US Senator in the car behind the Secret Service car say they smelled gun smoke after the shooting, plus a single surviving photo showing the Secret Servie agent with the AR in hand makes for a compelling case that he could be right.

Then couple that with the way the Secret Service broke Texas State law that gave them jusisdiction to perform the autopsy, and that they threatened the coroner with force when he tried to stop them from takeing Kennedy's body to AF-1 and flying it to DC This gave them control of all access to the autopsy and they seized all the autopsy evidence. This seems to give creedence to the idea that the Secret Service covered up the horrible mistake, that they accidently killed the president.

Well, you could very well be right, but I still say there is something really fishy about Jack Ruby. I don't think he was the type to be totally enamored with Kennedy. :thumbdown:

My understanding is that Ruby was a cop wannabe, always hung out with them, and gave them freebies at is club He honestly thought he was going to be hailed as a hero for killing the assasin. He stated some years later that he was remorseful that he screwed up any chance of finding out why Oswald shot Kennedy.
