(62,325 posts)I have acknowledged those facts for which there is absolute proof.
After that, everything is circumstantial. Including many of the findings of the WC.
People have gone to death row based on what looked like incontrovertible facts put before a jury. Only to have those 'facts' proven to have been wrong decades later.
What's interesting is your incredible anger at me for something I never said. I never said 'Oswald had nothing to do with it' did I? What I said was that there is good reason, based on the known facts which I acknowledge, to believe that he did not do it alone.
You haven't answered the question I asked, which was, 'why does it matter so much to you that this might be a possibility'?
All you have done for me, mainly because of your inability to have a rational discussion and simply lay out your reasons for why you came to the conclusions you did, lashing out at anyone who even expresses any doubts at all, is to convince me I need to read an awful more about this crime.
I need to go much further than I have into looking at all that is available such as LBJ's mistress's comments which I never read before, and other witnesses whose testimony was not included in the WCR etc.
I was satisfied to consider that Oswald was there but that he did not act alone, that a whole lot of other people believed that also but like many crimes, investigators may know something, but cannot prove it..
Now I'm thinking that I might have been wrong. Because I see the fierce effort to silence anyone who even hints that the WCR did not answer many of the questions people have and I am wondering why.
I am beginning to like the term CT. From this thread I realize what it means. It means people who think for themselves, who do not blindly accept everything their Government tells them without question. They are the people who have historically facilitated progress away from blind loyalty to any entity and have led the way towards the road to democracy, where the people are equal participants in their government, a long journey which we are still travelling.
But to keep going in the right direction, not to turn back, it is necessary as every great leader who has no fear of the people has said, to never be silent when there are unanswered questions. That is the duty of a citizen.
So go on believing you have all the answers. This thread has made it clear to me that that is far from the truth.
Just a little advice. You catch more flies with honey. You COULD have influenced me and others who have not formed a definite opinion on this case. But you chose to name-call, to be angry, to try to bully people. Maybe you are just passionate about your beliefs, but you will never win any converts until you learn to have respect for other people's right to question and to come to conclusions. You are not the only who has that right.
