this is gonna be long so keep reading before you answer.
In 2000 i was out in Touscan Arizona at the Airplane museum there. One of the planes on display was the last turbo prop Air Force One which just happened to be what JFK flew on prior to his death.
A new jet powered AF1 was to fly to Dallas to replace it, and would have carried the Kennedies back to Washington after their stay there.
The tour guide told us something that was very interesting and got my attention. It seems Lyndon Johnson was on the new AF1 waiting to go to Dallas at the time Kennedy was killed. This was, very weird since he didnt need to be there. Why was Johnson waiting to fly to Dallas?
So i started looking at the years before and around that day in Dallas.
1960: The Joint Chiefs and CIA attempt to kill Castro but fail in what became known as the Bay of Pigs Fiasco.
1961: Cuban Missile Crisis. Russia places nuclear weapons and threatens to move more into cuba. The Joint Chiefs want to redeem

themselves after the Bay of Pigs disaster. However Kennedy refuses to allow the invasion of Cuba, and the Joint Chiefs feel betrayed by a president who will not use his military.
1962: Vietnam is heating up. Kennedy refuses to get involved. Joint Chiefs want to send troops to stop the spread of communism.
ok so where does this leave us?
Kennedy was not a military leader..
however his vice president Johnson was.
Now i dont know who else might have been involved, but this is how i see it.
Johnson wants to use the military, and will support the Join Chiefs in their plans. But they cant simply get rid of Kennedy.
They need someone to do it for them.
They need someone with no ties, no way to link it back to them.
In steps Lee Harvey Oswald.
Oswald was a marine who had been in trouble, and went to Russia. However he returns to the US not long before the Assasination.
They hire him.
Now if there was a second gunman, i dont know.
They expect that Oswald

will simply dissapear after it is over. That all will be done and no one will ever link them to it.
Oswald gets lazzy and gets arrested. Maybe someone pointed him on it (since he was so easily linked to the killing).
Now Johnson and the Joint Chiefs have a problem.
Oswald knows someone hired him. And they know he knows.
They have to silence him before he can expose them.
In steps Jack Ruby. Who he was? i dont know. Maybe a CIA officer hired to do this.
My guess another no body with no links to the White House.
He shuts up (with a bullet) Oswald before he can tell who really hired him..
Now all that might be wrong,
but it sure makes sense.

if i had evidence do you think id be writing it on here?
lol
hell i have it on good word i all ready have a file in the CIA just from all the questions i ask people about stuff i write about as a author (unpublised yet)
I happen to know some authors, some military people, perhaps a CIA sniper, and have even spoken with 3 generals.
Things like that get other people's attention. Ive been told i was investigated but probably will never hear of it because they simply realized my questions were no threat.

Greetings! There have been numerous efforts to undermine the Warren Commission's assassination report. Lots of ideas have come up, and the writing of the report seems to have loopholes in it, but in over 40 years, there has not been one solid bit of hard core evidence to successfully debunk the entire report. Hundreds of thousands if ideas and publications have been written, but when the the theories are boiled down, it always remains that Oswald acted alone. Even computer and scientific evidence investigated in the twenty-first century leads right back to Oswald and Oswald alone.
Lots of conjectures. Endless what if's and perhaps, and wherefores and whatnot's, but not a shred of rock solid evidence has been successfully produced to debunk the report.
Even Congress took a shot at destroying the report based on a tape recorder from an open mike on a Dallas Motorcycle, but that has been quietly disproved.
Oh, and LBJ? He was in a limo behind the President at the time of the shooting.

Remember how Joseph Kennedy was involved in liquor smuggling during prohibition? It's sure that once you get involved with the Mafia, you're in for life.
During WWII the American government in a way blackmailed Joseph Kennedy (because they knew about the source of his wealth) into brokering a deal with the Mafia to help the American Army gain a foothold in Sicily. The Mafia leaders who participated were granted immunity and allowed to convert their illegal money into lawful businesses (i.e., construction, trucking, even unions).
JFK won big because the Mafia imposed a favor on Kennedy to help him secure New Jersey with the votes of the trucksters union. When they impose their favors, you owe them, even if you do not want.
All this was happening when the Mafia, who had lost all their investments in Cuba subsequent to the Revolution, were making inroads in Las Vegas. Also important are some of the players: Frank Sinatra, Marylin Munroe, who was nothing more than an innocent pawn, etc.
Unfortunately, Kennedy was cooked one way or the other, especially with Robert Kennedy coming down hard on a big-time Mafia boss in New Orleans, who was forced to flee and vowed to cut off the head, when refering to the Kennedys.
Don't underestimate the influence of the Mafia in the Bay of Pigs, either. Their losses there were in the millions, and they wanted their money back.
The New Orleans Mafia boss hounded by Robert Kennedy had connections with Jack Ruby, who owed the Mafia big time because he was skimming. In short, the Mafia's aim was to get control of the American government. They did the same thing in Italy, and look how far they got.
The American government allowed all kinds of speculation and mystery to develop in order to divert attention from the fact that they had created this monster. The missile crisis is undeniably a factor in the attempted invasion. But when you try to find a common denominator: Joseph Kennedy's ties with the mob, Frank Sinatra, Jack Ruby (who would rather go to jail than having all his family killed), Robert Kennedy's attempt to get rid of the mafia nuissance, Marylin Monroe, etc, you can only conclude that the Mob was trying to bribe and/or entrap Kennedy.
When Monroe found out that she had been used, her grief was so great that she committed suicide.

I'm with you on all of this. In addition, Johnson needed a chief justice to swear him in a the president and just so happens he brought one along with him to Dallas for that purpose. Is the picture coming through yet????

Johnson was from Texas so why wouldn't he want to go there. The main reason Kennedy went was to get support from the Texans.
Sorry but I don't think Johnson was behind the assassination.

I can't comment on the theory, but I can say that it isn't a new one. That one's been in circulation for a really, really long time. There are literally hundreds of books that discuss (with the details researched) various facts and theories about his death - including this one.

That's not anywhere near true. Johnson was in Dallas already. In fact, he was two cars behind JFK in the motorcade.

JFK conspiracy theories have been around since the mid-sixties. You haven't thought of anything new.
