Do you believe the Official accounts in the Warren Commission ? Why or why not ?

Question

what is your theory?

Answer 1

I don´believe Oswald did it alone.JFK had many enemies, CSI(sorry if it´s not written like that, I´m from Finland so, perhaps I´m influenced by the TV series, but i guess you know what I mean), FBI, Cuba, Russia. JFK´s brother Robert believed the Warren report officially, but he actually thought he knew there was a conspiracy against his brother. A book has recently been published about more evidence of a conspiracy, sorry to say I don´t remember the author´s name. The author was just interviewed the other day on the Terry Gross show. Robert Kennedy did not believe that Russia was behind the killing of JFK, he suspected FBI and CSI and to some extent Cuba.My theory is that it absolutely was a conspiracy.Well I guess we never will found out what´s true and what´s not sadly enough.

Answer 2

As much as Oliver Stone wishes that there were a major conspiracy, the facts seem to support the Warren Commission. It has been reviewed and reviewed and the answers still seem to come out the same. My husband was not even a sharpshooter and demonstrated how the shots could have been fired and the distance was not so great for a good marksman. It looks much farther on TV that it really is. BUT if anybody is to blame in an unknown conspiracy, it's J Edgar Hoover, whom I believe was caught in one of his outfits by the Kennedy boys and was afraid they would out him! :)

Answer 3

Yes i believe the official accounts, all evidence points to them, and besides, we are sooooo bad at covering things up here it would have came out by now if there was a conspiracy.

as to the person who mentioned the number of shots with that rifle, I am a half decent marksman, and could put out more in less time the Oswald did, accurately, not hard at all. As to Kennedy snapping back instead of forward, that was due to the back brace he was wearing

Answer 4

I am about 80 % convinced to support the Warren Commission Report. Very serious questions remain, mainly, how did Oswald squeeze off so many shots from such an unweildy rifle in so little time? And why did President Kennedy's head jack backward in the Zapruder film if he had been hit from behind, where Oswald was shooting from? And that magic bullet that grazed Kennedy then entered Connolly's arm, then hand, then rib cage--thats hard to believe! And it is suspiscious that the archives are sealed for so long, I mean...if there was nothing to be hiding, why would they be hiding something?

Answer 5

People like conspiracy. It is intriguing. Facts are boring. The drama of conspiracy is interesting. And presidential assassination is ripe for conspiracy.

The same exact thing happened with the only other US presidential assassination, Lincoln. For a long time after people believed that booth was acting on orders from the Confederacy. This turned out no to be true but even after it was exposed people felt that the government was covering something up.

I would be surprised if there were shooters on the grassy knoll.

Answer 6

the commission followed evidence that linked lho to killing,,,,another tack might have been,how many shooters were there in this or other countries with training & skill to fire 4 to 7 shots , , , , , ,....that fast spacecommaspacecomma ,,,the mannleicher-carcano rifle was a singleshot lock & load rifle hard to fire except by a good shooter etc,someone with experience in korea, central america, europe,was oswald skilled or marginally skilled to do the job,,,the service guys in prezes detail spent the previous night with call girls,,,they were tired & unalert,,,,,prezes car slowed down at moment of gunfire,,maybe lho was THE man,maybe not,on forensics & lho,,,,,the other farther afield and wider in scope.in 1980 a book was published by a tx cop named hugh mcdonald,,'appointment in dallas" who claimed to have talked with the rifleman who killed jfk,confession taking place in a london hotel interview,hd knew the guy only as 'saul',,said lho was a patsy drafted by elements of cia to assist in ferreting out plotters against jfk.killing was ordered by wealthy usa business& millitary folks. a second tale was heard on am coast to coast,where a george noory's guest claims that jfk was done in by the russian kgb as payback for berlin,tha bay of pigs,and humiliation in the cuban missle crisis.russians were known to have killed a nationalist czech named jan masyrek with a poison gas gun.top us political leaders like earl warren, lyndon johnson and a couple generals were briefed on the plot,concluding that the life of one man did not merit a nuclear war,which might have occurred had the public found out about a treacherous act like this.,or a military coup in the us,with a preemptive strike from the russians,the choice was made,said noory's guest ,to make evidence point to lho,,and oppose and battle the russians economically,while avoiding outright confrontation,donno who did it,but it rankles to think that a goof like oswald had the smarts & skill to carry out the crime of a century & a half
