      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

      I think that was the opposite of what he wanted. I think his decision to move to the USSR was more due to the fact that he had no one to tell him what to do, His absent mother being the main culprit! He lacked order, direction and meaning in his life. Something he thought he could find in a heavily regulated society such as in Soviet Russia

      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.

  • @nelsonx5326
    @nelsonx5326 4 года назад +42

    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.

      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.

    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.

      Ask yourself this: Where do you get the notion that a person's body will move in the same direction of the projectile (bullet) striking them? Probably Hollywood from countless films and TV shows depicting people flying backwards when shot from the front by Arnie/Sly/Bruce or whoever over the last several decades.
      Ever seen a video of someone really getting shot? They tend to crumple and not dramatically fly in the direction of the bullet. There's a infamous video from the Vietnam war where a captured VC is executed by a point blank shot to the side of his head. His head doesn't jerk to the left (he was shot from the right). He just crumples to the floor with a jet of blood shooting out of his head. That's just one example.
      I'm not saying there wasn't a conspiracy. Maybe there was, maybe there wasn't. We'll more than likely never know. But conspiracies can never be proven can they? And people will cling to anything that seems to prove the theory they subscribe to. The fact Kennedy's head goes backwards doesn't prove anything. The bullet destroyed his brain. His head going backwards could just be brain death. But we'll never know for sure will we?

"Some fanatic!" was the reply. Later I found out he had died. We were called into the auditorium. The principal gave an account of what had happened and dismissed us to go hime.
    We did not have a working TV at the time. However I did have a radio. I caught Oswald being moved from City to county on my radio. It seemed that I heard and angry man yell and then a gun shot. The loudness of the shot caused a ringing sound like feedback over the microphone. "Oswald's been shot!" "He definitely has been shot!" Oswald died in about an hour.

      (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?

    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.

Even when they were new guns they were known to be inaccurate.

      The Carcano is an excellent rifle, possibly the best milsurp bolt-action of all. You have never owned one.
      And the presidential limousine was an extremely easy target, only 60-80m away, moving away at less than 20km/h, below him and with almost nothing obstructing his view nor any winds nor rain. There were more than 8 seconds between the three shots, ample time for the Carcano with its easy bolt action.

Not to mention the fact that military testing at the time was with open, iron sights. Oswalds rifle had a scope. Anyone can hit a target with the kind of training Oswald had using a rifle that has a properly sighted scope.
