Let's have a bit of a flashback...

It's 1976.

We just had an election, and Jimmy Carter won.
No more Chevy Chase falling over everything imitating Gerald Ford.

Had a great Bicentennial, even with all the hucksters out there.

I say to you, not this President, but the next is going to get shot.
Badly wounded.
With a cheap handgun bought at a pawn shop.
The shooter has this delusion that he is in love with an actress, and only by killing the President can he win her love.

You'd tell me I sound like a total kook.

Now, is it so "impossible" for a misfit with delusions of grandeur named Oswald, to kill John F. Kennedy?
Who he hated?

The facts are, all the books do is regurgitate old speculations, and add on to them.

Even though there is *NO* credible evidence to back them up.

And Oliver Stone's movie "JFK" had two facts in it.
Kennedy was killed.
Jim Garrison put Clay Shaw on trial for it.

The rest of that movie was pure bullshit.

Jim Garrison had the theory Kennedy was killed as part of a "homosexual thrill kill" scheme.

Oliver Stone is a vicious anti-Semite.

topic sentence to this post, Archae.

Oswald, plainly involved in bizarre activities, quite clearly in place for the level of suspicion History gives him.

Could well have been -- and was, according to his wife -- that Howard Hunt was in Dallas the same couple of days around Nov. 22, 1963. Could well have been that Hunt's misgivings about Kennedy ran deeper and longer than Oswald's, not unrelated to Hunt's connections with the CIA.

The Cowboys weren't playing a home game those couple of days. So Hunt's business in Dallas couldn't have been an NFL game. Must have been something else.

Hard evidence is not easy to come by. But that doesn't prove that Oswald acted alone.

Hunt was a kook, by all accounts.

Assassin? Doubtful. At best.

the Agency.

True all of his time there and as a bagman for the Nixon administration.

Nixon attracted a cadre of absolutely unstable human beings to causes that were engineered beneath public radar.

Hunt was very frequently in the cast.

murder has been under strain for some time, and properly so.

In the last couple days Salon.com put this up:

http://www.salon.com/2015/11/22/inside_the_plot_to_kill_jfk_the_secret_story_of_the_cia_and_what_really_happened_in_dallas/

It's a lengthy and heavily considered piece, well worth the time to read.
