The Vice President and his buds, CIA and killed kennedy. I'm about to watch you're video now. The shot to the head was from the grassy knoll, hideing behind the frence. There was a man who had real proof on who and how Kennedy was murdered but on the way to meeting with a reporter he was in a 'car accident', all the records were taken out of the car. They even gave the President the wrong blood type at the hospital. CK the records, most anyone who treated Kennedy at the hospital had died of 'cancer'. Prob. a radiation iceatobe was put in the nurse's & doctor's lounge. frige

Thank you! It's such a major injustice to young people to lie to them about how our justice system is supposed to work! I'm not saying that it does work as it should. But to have these self-appointed experts on social media lying about "innocent until proven guilty" as a founding ideal of our democracy enrages me. Not because of one person unjustly branded a killer without the opportunity to defend himself, but an injustice committed against our justice system. For almost 56 years now. I am not, by any means, an Alex Jones conspiracy nut; I am someone who respects the ideals of our supposed democratic republic. And this video is enormously disrespectful to that. Shame. Because there may come a time when ANY OF US is accused of a crime we didn't commit. And if we are very young and hearing and seeing this for the first time, we may think that there's no difference in "alleged" perpetrator and convicted perpetrator. (Which, it should be pointed out, still doesn't make one factually guilty. It makes one guilty by the legal process.) Please click on my profile. I have the credentials and experience to know how impressionable young students can be. This branding of Lee Oswald "a killer" continues to be intolerable. I am just old enough to remember the events as they unfolded on our TV when I was very, very little. Including the murder of Oswald on TV. The whole thing was very traumatic for someone my age at the time, but I nonetheless remember it and I am glad I do.

I was in school in 2nd grade when President Kennedy was assassinated. Another teacher came to our classroom, said something to our teacher and she cried. We were sent home from school. It was all confusing to me, 7 years old and I didn't understand what was going on. Walking home from school a girl a grade above me said, 'The father of our country was killed.' I I couldn't comprehend what that meant and somehow thought she was talking about my father was dead and I ran home crying. Mom told me Dad was fine. I recall seeing Oswald killed on live TV. I don't know if I created that memory from other broadcasts later in the day, I'm pretty sure I saw it though because I remember waiting to see him, the camera noting much for a long time ( ten minutes was a long time for me at that age. Then a lot of people about the room, then he was shot, and all the action that happened. Oswald was killed on a Sunday morning NY time, I would have been watching TV, and regular programming, Wonderama or Chiller Theater or whatever junk I watched might have postponed or cut into for a news story with a look at Oswald.

He told his mother he was in a fight. She simply asked “well did you win?” She could care less, and drove off. He never had a chance.

My mom knew Jack Ruby. She said he was very well known in Dallas and had ties to the mafia. He also had just been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer right before he shot Oswald. He died before his trial. Those are all facts. Now for my moms thoughts. She said Kennedy had ties to the mafia as well which got him into office, the mafia thinking they could "run" things via JFK. But once in office he didn't play by the maffias rules. This pissed them off so they got Oswald to shoot him. Scared Oswald would rat them out they got Jack to off Oswald. Jack agreed because he was gonna die anyway of cancer.

The point is that he could shoot a rifle quite well, better than he needed to do to be considered up to the job of Marine.

His middling competence and training fit the lone loser gunman theory quite well.

I still have the hardest time believe that Oswald was the only single person involved in this assassination plot. I'm not saying that the CIA, Hoover and H. W. Bush were necessarily involved or even that Clay Shaw was involved even though things really seem to point in that direction. All I'm saying is that I have a very hard time believing that Oswald wasn't surveilled adequately by the FBI given his past and that he did this all by himself. Why have they never transferred Ruby to a prison out of Texas considering he said he'd explain what he knew about the conspiracy if they got him out of Texas. Why on earth does the government still keep certain files classified to this day even though they were supposed to release them all.......Plus, according to what has been declassified, Oswald was supposed to be on U.S.'s radar. Americans shouldn't accept the government keeping secrets from them just as they should not agree to detention camps imprisoning migrants including 100% legal asylum seeker and denying them basic needs therefore breaking international laws and human rights. Americans need to do better, this administration and everything they are hiding is shameful and their supporter need to ask for more.

The evidence all points to Oswald. The bullets that were recovered and struck Kennedy and Connolly traced back to Oswald's rifle. The rifle was found on the 6th floor of the book depository building with three spent cartridges and Oswald's palm print. Oswald went to work that day and when the police did a head count after the shooting, he was the only one missing. Oswald was found in a movie theater after he had shot officer Tippett, clearly he was on the run. He would be the last person on earth to work for the CIA, the mob, or the Russians. He was simply too unstable and unreliable and if he was an asset, he would have not been arrested after the fact. He was a miserable person searching for significance.

I'm impressed... you actually got pictures of his apartment building in Minsk (09:34 shows his street, 10:05 appears to show the balcony of the apartment, which is adjacent to a TV tower these days). But as another former US Marine who spent time in Belarus (and also married a Linguistics University graduate named Marina), I have to say that the description of the country is rather unfair. It's certainly a very retro-Soviet country even today, the architecture is certainly very Stalin Imperial-esque, and politically the government is not the most progressive, but all that's not to say that you'd be lucky if you didn't see the country. The countryside in the north and west is quite green, the people are quite friendly to visitors, and they're at least trying to put together something for tourists to go see - even going so far as to provide options for Westerners to visit visa-free for periods under 30 days. I'm not sure it's a place to defect to, but it's not that ugly a place either. Granted, Prague is more picturesque, but do go see Minsk before knocking it. Nevertheless, elsewhere in the biography, interesting details. Given that "Sharpshooter" is actually the intermediate ranking for shooting expertise (between "Expert" - the top ranking, and "Marksman" - my ranking), it would make some kind of sense that he intended to hit Connally and missed, shooting Kennedy instead.

[@Josephmgo1]

Please do a biography on Peter Ortiz. He's probably the most interesting man in the world. He was an American that spoke a bunch of languages. During WWII he joined the French Foreign Legion to fight the Nazis. He later went back to the USA and joined the Marines and was sent to Europe to fight. He was one of just a few Marines to serve in Europe during WWII since most Marines were fighting in the Pacific. In Europe he was a OSS officer and conducted sabotage on Nazi troops.

legally no one killed Oswald. Ruby's sentence after the first trial was overturned and he died before his re-trial. Therefore, no one was ever convicted of killing Oswald.

So many problems with this video. Here are a few: * Volkmar Schmidt's allegation that Oswald said "Kennedy was a terrible President" was uncorroborated, and contradicted by other witnesses and Schmidt's own Warren Commission testimony. The only verifiable statements by Oswald concerning Kennedy are those of (mild) admiration. * No real evidence that Oswald shot at Walker other than the words of the notoriously unreliable Marina Oswald. * No evidence that a rifle was "buried" after the shot at Walker. * Video does not mention the multiple witnesses (including Walker himself) who saw one or two cars speeding away from the scene. Oswald, of course, did not drive. This implies accomplices, at the very least. * No mention that the bullet could not be matched to Oswald's rifle. It was, in fact, described by Dallas police as a steel-jacketed .30-06, where Oswald (allegedly) used copper-jacketed 6.5mm rounds at Dealey Plaza. * According to the video, June Cobb supposedly said she heard that Oswald joked about killing JFK at a "twist" party. Cobb did not attend this party; the story would have come to her from someone named Elena Garro, who the CIA described as "nuts". The host of the party said that not only was Oswald not in attendance, but that there were no Americans there at all. Cobb herself was a CIA asset, and a bizarre person; she was evicted from her residence when she was thought to have broken the rear legs of her landlord's cat. * The video states - as plain fact - that Oswald read the Dallas Morning News story on 11/19 which described the Presidential motorcade route. How did he know that Oswald read that story, or the paper at all on that day? This is conjecture, not fact. * Similar problem with the statement that "he also noted that Governor John Connally would be riding along with the President". I read the newspaper story - it said nothing about which car Connally would be occupying. Even if it did, how would we know that Oswald read it? * Again, with the conjecture: "Oswald spent the night in the garage, "his rifle beside him". How do you know that? You seem to confuse the things you want to be true with actual, verifiable facts. * The "kill list" story is uncorroborated. A Secret Service agent supposedly saw the list in an address book, but the page went "missing" while in the custody of the FBI. This "evidence" would be laughed out of a kangaroo court.

(B) Oh, we did look at how calm he is. Indeed, he was so calm his own wife and brother took one look at him in jail and knew he was guilty. Even when he's on camera he can barely keep the cat-that-swallowed-the-canary smirk off his face, and his mugshot is chilling to look at. (C) When he addresses a live TV audience of millions, does he jump up and down in a panic, screaming his innocence? No. Does he express any horror or sympathy for the victims? No. Does he beg protection for his family, thus making them untouchable? No. Does he try spilling what he knows or suspects about a conspiracy, hence making himself untouchable? No. Does re restrict himself to rather passively talking of legal representation and complain the cop he tried to shoot punched him while disarming him? Yes. (D) Jack Ruby said a lot of things. He was nuts. Oddly he made no attempt to say anything about a conspiracy during his public trial.

[@mezchr]

"He only said he was a patsy in relation to his having lived in Russia..." No, he said that he was a patsy in reply to being asked "Did you shoot the President?" He also insisted that he was a patsy during a police lineup. So Oswald is saying that he is being framed for the assassination and the DP just needs a worthless shitty excuse to bring him in (such as that they hate "dirty commies" or whatever, wtf cares). But of course WC shills have to spin it. There were other instances in which Oswald asserted his innocence quite forcefully, publicly and during interrogation. Where you see a smirk I see a look of determination, almost anger. "... his mugshot is chilling to look at." Yeah, some of us even shriek in horror at this monster's appearance. Only a fool would start yapping without a lawyer. His demeanor is usually quite calm which means that it's likely that he was trained regarding how to handle interrogations. It's such a pity that Oswald wasn't the wild-eyed maniac that you want him to be. "Oddly he made no attempt to say anything about a conspiracy during his public trial." If you believed that your life was in danger, would you try to defend yourself by claiming that others were involved in a conspiracy? Ruby said "I want to tell the truth, and I can't tell it here." But still there are a few interesting things that he says while questioned in his Dallas jail cell. WC Vol. V, Pp. 191-198.
