My only post on the JFK assassination

[Zen Democrat]

11. Are those reasons consistent with keeping Oswald's tax returns secret?

Among so many other things.

But then why was the "note" that could have most incriminated Oswald burned in the offices of the Dallas FBI and then flushed down the toilet? Agent Hosty himself reported this. Why would you do this to the note that reportedly was Oswald threatening the FBI. This is just one of the thousands of questions about the assassination that have no rational answer, and should.

I'm reasonably sure that everything that could have been done WAS done to streamline the cut and dried lone nut case closed matter because apparently the CIA was telling everybody that this was a case of Castro and Khruschev killing Kennedy for which the knee-jerk response at the time would have been nuclear war. Everyone went wild to cover up everything to prevent nuclear annihilism, which included sacrificing the sheep-dipped patsy who had been supremely set up and looked guilty for all the world.

"The Devil's greatest trick was to convince the world that he didn't exist," said Kaiser Soze. I think the assassination plotters' greatest trick was to convince people in authority that "Communists" did it, because "a" fake-Communist did it. Don't accept the falsities of this case that were disproven decades ago. It's extremely doubtful that Oswald was ever in Mexico City. Certainly no proof. The reports he was there were from the CIA station and they tracked a man named Oswald who's pictures didn't match LHO, nor did his voice on the recordings from the Cuban and Soviet embassies. And at the same time he was supposed to be in Mexico City, Oswald was seen at Sylvia Odio's house in Dallas with two Cuban associates.

J Edgar Hoover wrote memos about Oswald as early as 1960 and '61 regarding his suspicions that someone was using Oswald's identity in New Orleans at the same time he was a defector in the Soviet Union.

Tonight I'm rememberine 50 years ago tonight when I was a kid sitting in my living room in Houston watching live coverage of President Kennedy, Jackie, LBJ and Lady Bird at a testimonial dinner downtown for Congressman Albert Thomas. (Albert Thomas is the man winking at LBJ after he was sworn in on Air Force One the next afternoon.) It was a great night and I was so proud to have the President and First Lady in Texas. I remember the feel of the weather that afternoon as I had arrived home from school. My mother was reading the afternoon Chronicle and remarking that she thought it was disrespectful for the headline to refer to the President as "JFK." It was the dividing line of history in my life when he was killed the next day while I ate lunch at school. The Horror.
