My opinion on this is that this whole thing has a huge cloud around it and we will not find out the truth for quite sometime.. I read somewhere that we won't know the truth until 2027 or something like that.. For anyone to say that our own government wouldn't do something like this is totally not thinking straight.. OUR government will do ANYTHING to keep the money flowing and to keep their political agenda...

I do believe that JFK was shot because of his views and the war at the time.. Don't ask me who was involved but I do know out government is totally capable of doing this...

I think oswald killed him because he was well trained and a good shot even though he was using a crummy rifle.

The shot was only about 60-80yds from what I was told and 3 shots in 6.5 seconds is not too hard...

The big difference there is Nixon paid the price for his corruption. LBJ did not.

LBJ stole his first Senate election.

There is no way Oswald could've made the last fatal head shot. It completely flies in the face of physics. Anyone who has seen the Zapruder film can see that.

Kennedy was killed over Executive order 11110 and also his plans to remove all American troops from Vietnam by 1965.

Oswald was an average shot, at best. As he said, he was, "just a patsy."

Anyone who has flown in combat knows there's always the "Golden BB". And, there are lucky people who manage to make it through a "Wall of Steel"!

We're talking physics here, not luck.

When viewing the Zapruder film, Kennedy's head moves back and to the left. Basic physics shows that he had to have been shot from the front and to the right.

When you see Jackie Kennedy climb onto the decklid of the Lincoln, she is in a state of shock, and reaches for a piece of JFK's brain from the head shot.

There is no possible way that Oswald could've made that final shot from above and behind.

Some Americans just can't get past the thought that their gov't is capable of evil deeds like this. That's the rub.

Im not saying the government didn't do it, however try this experiment at home take a watermelon and hang it from a tree, then shoot it with a high caliber rifle. The watermelon will swing toward you at impact. If you don't believe me try it for yourself.

FWIW, I saw a really good documentary a year or so ago.

Took the Zapruder film frame by frame, as well as other evidence.

Had a skull and other bones embedded in balistic gel, etc...Staged the hole thing with the same model rifle, ammo, relative locations, etc...

Took on the backward exploding skull, etc..Used lots of high tech stuff to make sure the angles were right.

Bottom line is they made a very good case that Oswald was the lone gunman and that the 'magic bullet' actually could have done what it is supposed to have done. High powered rifle + bullet tumble + bullet fragments can make for a very bizarre damage path.

It was an event of huge importance. As human beings, we have trouble accepting the fact that one other human acting alone could cause such distress to the country. So we are psychologically pre-disposed toward conspiracy theories.

I agree that there were many that wanted Kennedy dead, and some may have assisted Oswald before and after the fact, and also made sure Jack Ruby was able to shoot Oswald. But IMO Oswald was the only one that fired bullets that hit Kennedy.

3D, I saw the same documentary, they made an excellent case. I agree with their conclusion. One shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald.

I've seen the same doc. 2 things they don't explain well in it are human factors.

The first is that for Oswald to get off 3 shots in 4.8 to 7 seconds and be able to make all 3 shots hit is almost impossible. He was a sharpshooter in basic training in the military, not an expert.

The second is the human factor of who he is attempting to kill. A sitting President of the United States. To say that he would not be nervous is not palatable at all. Thus, making the shots even more unlikely. Only the first one would be accurate.

In the end, you can believe what you want to believe. Just know one thing is for sure, Kennedy made a lot of people with a lot of money VERY angry with his policies.

That is speculation, maybe he had been practicing and had improved his abilities you have no way of knowing.

1 "crack" at a moving target with a bolt action rifle meaning he has to acquire the target after each shot.....how many EXPERTS around the world could do that ?, those hits

had to be more shooters.....jmho
