Thinking Americans (I would think) all have come to accept that science has proven Oswald did not fire the rifle that day.

Oh, I had read enough about the cases in the book, long before the book Hit List came out. 

You tell me, what is the absolute strongest "suspicious deaths" that were related to the JFK assassination.

For me it was the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald but - in my "opinion" by LBJ using the local Dallas mafia. H.L. Hunt and Joe Civello may have been involved in this one. See John Curington's book.

I do not think Dorothy Kilgallen was murdered but I do think JFK's close friend Sen. John Sherman Cooper gave her a copy of the Warren Report and that she was under FBI/CIA surveillance because of her public doubts about the Warren Report.

I do not think any murderer of JFK murdered his mistress Mary Meyer.

Again, what are you most suspicious cases of death?

 

 

 

Why did Dorothy Kilgallen's death scene appear to be staged? Or tell us why you don't believe it was staged.

Thanks Ron. Yes it was Hank Killam. While some deaths detailed in Hit List may not point to conspiracy, this is one of many that most certainly did.

One of the unexplained deaths in Hit List involved a JFKA witness who crashed through a plate glass window of a business in my hometown of Pensacola FL. 

I read the first Shaw book TRWKTM. It was very compelling and really made me wonder what DK was on to in New Orleans.

I read Hit List because I always found the rumors I had heard of so many unexpected/unexplained deaths of many JFKA witnesses to point towards conspiracy and cover-up.

Can we agree that I am in no mood for jokes?

 

 

 

 

A list like this is as serious as a heart attack. No joke!

LBJ vs Dulles as the mastermind of the plan is an argument without substance.  Both were essential to the plan's success. Each had a different part to do. 

As President LBJ had the fate of the others in his hands.  A plan to cover up the murder and blame someone else had to be in place before any shots were fired.  Johnson would be running that. 

Johnson wanted Kennedy dead as much as Dulles did.  And he knew that others felt the same way. He was not going to let someone else plan the coverup and bind him to it when he became president.  One example of this was the question of whether to use the murder as a pretext to attack Cuba.  Johnson want no part of that at the beginning of his presidency.  It's likely he made that clear to the others before the murder.  We know it became public knowledge quickly after Kennedy was killed.

Central to the cover up was the idea that no investigation of what happened would be permitted, since what actually happened did not fit the Oswald story they had decided to go with. To begin with, that means no legit autopsy.  Snatching the body from Dr. Rose at Parkland and Johnson ordering it to be brought to AF1 was an early indication of the coverup plan already at work.

Appointing 7 great Americans as figureheads to the WC, including, brazenly, co-conspirator Dulles, to ensure no investigation would happen and Oswald would be fingered, was another early step.  I get a kick out of people who believe the recorded conversation between Johnson and (who was it, Joe Alsop?) where LBJ has to be convinced to appoint such a commission. The idea was Washington logical.  He had that in mind, or something similar, when planning the coverup. The call was more LBJ play acting to divert attention form that fact that a (fake) commission was his idea. 

The Dulles gang had access to a world wide roster of professional killers.  It turns out the creation and demise of the CIA's ZR Rifle program bookended the murder.  Started in '62, ended in '64.  Dulles didn't need Johnson, or Mac Wallace, for that part of the plan.

Dulles did, however, spend the weekend of the murder at the CIA hideaway in Virginia, helping to get the coverup off the ground.  A remaining, essential, part of the coverup was that Oswald had to be killed before he could talk to a lawyer. That was Dulles's job. Johnson could not be doing that from the White House and there is no record I am aware of of the calls Dulles made that weekend.

Dulles and Johnson worked together.  Each was essential to the murder plan

 

I don't see how anybody can argue with any of this. But I will be here popcorn in hand if they do.

Something happened and I can finally see all of the various GIFs on this thread. Now I will be able to see for myself the evidence in this aspect of the case. Its a good day!

Nice pic! Thanks for sharing.

I'm really enjoying the Solving JFK podcast! It's in season 2 right now. Been a couple of weeks since anything new has been posted on YouTube, so he must've taken the holidays off. This season he has been dealing with Oswald in his youth and surprisingly to me, he actually deals with the confusing Oswald timeline. I appreciate that myself because it often gets ignored altogether. He doesn't push the Harvey And Lee narrative but he states the facts going thoroughly through the timeline how Oswald was on record attending different schools at the same time and holding different jobs at different places at the same time while not missing any school time according to records. This stuff is important! It's not just innocent typos. You have Marguritte saying things the record doesn't show "officially", Robert Oswald doing the same as well as John Pic. And they contradict each other, lol! I love the way he deals with the material. I highly recommend it!

I have the podcast available now but don't know when I will have the time to devote to it (its tax season). Do you think he will try to come up with an explanation for the Oswald timeline anomalies?

Welcome Robert Morrow.

In addition, there was another story reported by someone else that Oswald came back to the States with $5000. 

 

 

If Oswald came back from Mexico City with $5000 some researcher in the past 60 years would have followed the money trail. To my knowledge nothing has ever been shown regarding such a money trail.

Of course, this song title made me think of this song.  This version of which I've never seen before myself.

 

I believe that is the only Stones hit record that Keith sang lead on. Good rocker!

According to "Mysteries at the Museum" TV series a U.S. Titan nuclear-armed missile was all set to be launched towards a Russian city in the hours after the JFKA, until word came that Oswald had been arrested (and assurances that the perp acted alone). 

So thanks Lee, you saved us all from disaster! In just the nick of time!

Thanks Charles. But are you aware of the stories that make it appear Oswald was in cahoots with the Cubans and Russians? (e.g. Kostikov/Kostin; the twist party; the $6500 down payment?)

 

Yes I have heard of the latter two you mention but am not aware that any of those stories were ever substantiated. I did see the interview with the former KGB guy on a documentary. Not sure what to make of that story.

Yes Sandy I believe the Mexico City episode was an attempt to portray Oswald as a Commie. I don't know if it was the real Oswald but there are no photos of the real Oswald at the embassy.

 "the discovery that a disgruntled 24-year-old Communist sympathizer named Lee Harvey Oswald.."

 

That was the purpose of the legend-building. If these so-called reporters would just take the time to learn their subject before opening their traps maybe they wouldn't be such parrots.

He is going to say that Oswald fired the first shot, that it was an intentional miss, that Oswald thought he was participating in a staged assassination attempt (that was meant to fail) where he would flee to Cuba and the attempt would be linked to Castro.

Actually this theory makes more sense than just about any other I have heard.

No one knows why she did that.

But I do not think it was cancelled.

She did go there according to the witnesses around her, the two hairdressers.

Maybe it was Ruby or maybe it was someone else she interviewed.

No one ever saw her files.  But it was pretty clear to any interesting party that Oswald was doing some funny stuff in New Orleans that summer.

Jim nice to see you on Fox the other day. I saw the interview/clip on YouTube so not sure if that was telecast on 11/22 but it probably was.

This has been debated ad nauseum on this forum probably more than any other JFKA subject. The "magic bullet" theory is a bunch of nonsense.

What was with all of the x-rays??

I have not read Dr. Mary's Monkey (yet). Its on the list.

Was JVB caught in some outright lies is that why people on here only seem to put her down?

I signed it.

Was there something she learned from Jack Ruby when she interviewed him at his trial that might have sparked her interest in NO? 

She canceled the trip for reasons that are not clear and died under extremely suspicious circumstances a short time later in Manhattan. Her death was not seriously treated as a criminal matter.

If we knew some of what Dorothy knew we would be closer to the solution of who killed JFK.
