Walter63a Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Nick, I think that Oswald did it, but with this caveat; Who was he working for or with? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/unsure.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/cool.gif Also, was he merely trying to impress Castro, the Soviets, etc? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif Regards, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Iannamico Posted December 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 What a mystery huh? I've seen all the shows, after watching some you'd swear Oswald did it alone, after others LBJ etc... Mostly every side has a convincing argument..

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 If it was indeed Oswald, how did he know JFK's limo would not have the bubble top on, or that there wouldn't be any Secret Service agents standing on the back bumper? Why didn't he just run up to the slow moving limo as it was rounding Dealey Plaza, and just shoot him like Jack Ruby did to him? Why is this the only presidential, or U.S. political assassination attempt, sucessful, or not, where the shooter did not fire at their victim from point blank range? That idiot Gerald Posner (author of "Case Closed") embarassed himself recently on "The History Channel" with his usual retort why people think there has to be more than one person involved. He states, "It is impossible for people to believe that JFK could be killed by some loner nut, and not by some cataclysmic event." What horseshit!

LIONHART Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Within the last couple of weeks, the Discovery Channel has aired some good shows about this very topic. Still, I cannot accept that Oswald acted alone. I will always believe there has always been a government conspiracy, and that perhaps LBJ was involved.

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 It does eeem odd that if LBJ would kill to be president, he would then not run for a second term, Vietnam or not. Whether there was an organized effort to kill JFK or not, there sure seems abundant evidance to suggest that all those responsible for protecting the president, i.e. Secret Service, FBI, Military, CIA, etc, allowed it to happen, even encouraged it to happen. Of course one must never underestimate the role incompetence plays in these situations. I still don't understand how a guy (Oswald) attempts to kill General Walker, a non moving target siting in his living room, purportedly using the same Carcano used onJ FK, fires only one shot, misses, and then throws the towl in. Next time we see Oswald's marxmanship, his target is moving, at a greater distance, and he keeps firing until he sees the deadly head shot through his scope.

Also Marina stated that when he came home that night he was visible shaken, pale, sweaty etc.... However 90 seconds after actually killing someone he is calm, cool and collected in the lunch room with a bottle of coke! horseshit is right!

Bisley45 Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 In all the reconstructions I've seen the bullets are doing all too wierd things, Ozwald was firing at a range prior to the assasination and put a few bullets into his niebors target. I've fired carcano's the still standing joke about them is "never fired only dropped once". My own theroy is someone else got in a couple of shots too, my thoughts are a Swedish Lungamin selfloader W/ scope. two different angles would explain the wierd behavor of the bullets and a self loader might have helped for a second shot. I've also always been suspicious of Jack Ruby, how incopetent were the police in allowing him to gun down Lee Harvey Oswald, or was he planned to take care of the patsy?

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 The recent Peter Jennings ABC show regarding the 40 year anniversary of JFK's assassination made a big deal about how the information contained in the program was irrefutable and completely factual. Of course they relied on Gerald Posner as their authenticator. Just one of the more glaring mistakes contained in the program was Jennings, narrating over the period footage of President Kennedy in the casket being taken off from the left side of Air Force 1, making a point of saying it was indeed JFK in that casket. Nobody today still disputes that JFK was not in that casket, but was rather in a different box being unloaded simultaneously on the right side of the plane out of sight of the cameras.

MG08MAXIM Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 I also do not believe that Oswald acted alone (I don't believe that he could get that many shots off by himself). I believe that this was a huge conspiracy and that we most likely will never know the whole story. Dead men tell no tells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Jr Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Just a Thompson additon. In the O Stone movie JFK, Joe Pecsi (David Ferry) is holding a M1A1 in the cuban training part. Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
