Oswald Acted Alone Is The Most Popular Theory

Oswald being involved in a conspiracy (a completely incomplete theory, by the way) is one of the more popular conspiracy theories but it pales in comparison to the Oswald acted alone theory, probably something like 15% for Oswald being involved (just my guess) versus the aforementioned 35% for Oswald alone.

 

 

According to you, if 65% of people believe Oswald didn’t act alone, the most popular theory is that Oswald acted alone. Let that sink in for a minute.

I personally believe that Lee Harvey Oswald is a figment of your imagination and that John F. Kennedy's head exploded as a result of spontaneous human combustion.

I’d buy the book.

You don't get it.

"Oswald didn't act alone" is NOT a theory.

Let that sink in for a minute.

Let's say that 65% of the public believe Kennedy was assassinated as a result of a conspiracy and 35% believe Oswald acted alone.

Let's say of the 65%, there are a dozen different conspiracy theories. Splitting it up evenly and we have each of the dozen conspiracy theories taking up about 5% to 6% of those polled.

Now, we have the idea that Oswald acted alone taking up 35% of those polled.

Therefore, the idea that Oswald acted alone is the most popular theory.

BB-

 

I think you mean to say, "The idea that LHO acted alone has a plurality of support among Americans." 

That is to say, suppose for example, RFK2 beats Biden and Trump by getting 38% of the vote in enough states to win the Electoral College. 

RFK2 would have won a "plurality of the vote," and the Presidency, but not a majority of votes, and a majority of Americans would not have voted for him.

I do not subscribe the LN theory, but hey, each to his own.

The most important fact reality here is that 65% of Americans polled do not believe the Warren Commission finding that Oswald was the assassin of JFK and that he acted alone.

Even after "61 years" ( ! ) of aggressive government and mainstream media efforts to convince the public otherwise. 

Parse that number up in any way you want with disagreements among this 65% regards who they specifically think may have been involved. Yet in this over-all WC rejecting context, the entire 65% are all in agreement.

Of course the "who did it" secondary importance question contemplation is all over the map within that 65% group.

Heck, the same is true right here on this forum of highly informed versus the general public JFKA students and researchers.

Consensus rejection of the Warren Commission Oswald LN finding by 2/3rds of Americans polled after 61 years of debate is the real worthy story here.

Please enlighten us on your definition of the word “theory”. Here are a few dictionary definitions for reference: 

Merriam Webster

- a hypothesis assumed for the sake of argument or investigation

- an unproved assumption : CONJECTURE

- the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another

Cambridge

- something suggested as a reasonable explanation for facts, a condition, or an event, esp. a systematic or scientific explanation: 

- a statement of an opinion or an explanation of an idea that is believed to be true, but might be wrong:

So according to the dictionary at least you are literally wrong.

65% still don't believe Oswald acted alone.  Chop it up however you want.  Still 65%.

No, it's not, is it.  That statement is now an established fact.  The Warren Omission is the invalidated theory.

Some might say that the theory that the "Oswald acted alone" theory is wrong (or there was a conspiracy) is rather weak sauce. It includes little green men from outer space in the pool of possible assassins! :rolleyes:

Of course, Bill Brown is simply putting his spin on public opinion, the very sort of thing which helps to confuse the public. Most people know that a conspiracy murdered JFK. But professional conspirators do a good job of covering up their crimes, so there will be disagreement about exactly what happened. And the influencers add to the confusion. That's their job. The murderers win because the people don't know exactly what happened. They don't know whether it was LBJ, Allen Dulles or Sam Giancana who dunnit. But they know it certainly was not just Lee Harvey Oswald.
