(5,276 posts)I'm no dummy, quite the opposite, and have been all over this for years. Virtually everyone, including law officers, in the grassy area opposite the grassy knoll looked then pointed and moved toward the grassy knoll. Some said they saw a wisp of smoke. They were all mistaken? Why was the movie of what happened hid for so many years? Why was once lady's camera never returned? Why were witnesses who saw people and activity in the knoll area ignored?
Plus, again, what kind of lone nut zealot vigorously denies he did it? And isn't him being whacked 2 days later still in the police building even slightly suspicious? While he was still alive he now seems to me to be a man who is figuring out he's been set up.
My thought is that the pros used by the mob/CIA made sure they gave the police someone to arrest -known in the business as a "throwaway", just as right wing businessman Joseph Milteer told multiple people about a week before the shooting.
Thom Hartmann is one smart guy who dug into it for 16 years with a co author and he's sure Oswald isn't the one.
I believed Oswald did it till I read the fiction called the Warren report and that opened my eyes - that one bullet didn't hit both JFK and Connally. So I dug into it more than superficially over the years - and along the way learned that the US government has lied to us before, we did give syphilis and other things to unsuspecting volunteer in the 50's, etc. And learned later that LBJ didn't even believe the Warren Report, and that the Dallas police chief wasn't convinced either.
