JFK

(1/4) > >>

ILL-Logic-AL:
Did anyone watch the programme on BBC a few days back on JFK? It showed how Lee Harvey Oswald was the shooter and he did act alone. It was pretty interesting. People who believe in conspiracy theories should watch this.

Any Americans got an opinion on what happened, conspiracy theories etc?

Don Seer:
yup yup I did... i kinda forgot all the theories n that over time apart from the names of lee harvey oswald, and about the grassy knoll..

i never knew any of that stuff about oswald being a marxist and his links to russia and cuba...

i'm now convinced he was acting alone...


i only came out of that program with two questions...

1) did that ruby guy ever say why he did it

2) where is that ruby guy now? did he die?

Jay ay Beee:
Ruby died of cancer in 1966 I think.

I'm not sure if he ever did say why.

I thought the BBC documentary was interesting, but a bit shoddy.  There was no investigative journalism.  They castigated Jim Garrison for relying on one source in his prosecution of Clay Shaw but in nearly every aspect of the documentary they used one source themselves.  The exploration of the assasination itself was good - the computer program was excellent.  

The programme didn't answer some vital questions.

1) Why was the parade route changed.  
2) Why was there such a lack of secret servicemen.

Don Rizzle:
i saw it but don't believe everything you see on tv.

one comment in it was that no mafia members have talked obout their involvement in the jfk assassination. this is untrue.

i'm salvatore bonano's autobiography he goes into the jfk's assassination, he wasn't involved or happy about it but he heard that it was taken care of by two families which i forget where. the mafia was very un happy with the president they all united their support in order to get him elected. for one in order for them to help elect him they were fromised bobby kenedy was going to be ambassidor to ireland and not cheif justice or whateva he was (and then targeted organised crime). the whole key was that joe kenedy was really in charge but when he died it made it hard for the mafia to communicate. Also the mafia had big interest in cuban hotels and cascinos but when castro came to power he took everything under foreign ownership back. so when jfk didn't didn't do anything with cuba he upset many ppl also includeding people in the cia and cubans.  they worked together. what happenned was one of the drains was deliberatly not sealed and was infront of the car which is where jfk was shot.

i'm sure there are other things i could pick at if i had extensive knowledge of the jfk situation. I don't see why bonano would lie, he obviously believes what he heard i believe he was essentially acting boss at the time so he was quite powerful then and its not something he was talking about at the time he only told his father (the real boss).

i have also heard about the drain from somewhere else.

i found the documentary to be very one sided and didn't go into other views just support that one theory.
