(3,251 posts)There was a time when it could be understood why people believed there was a conspiracy involved because people were so shellshocked over the assassinations, Vietnam, Watergate, and so forth. It was a product of increased cynicism. I well know this because I, like many here, lived through it. But it has been FIFTY YEARS, and there has never been ANY credible evidence proving otherwise, and ALL of the evidence, forensic, eyewitness, physical, and circumstantial, show that LHO acted alone. Technological advances have made the case against Oswald even more airtight than ever before.
It really IS an open-and-shut case. The truth was known the minute Oswald was arrested. CTers look increasingly silly and even deranged given the more and more bizarre theories out there. CTs really need to be ridiculed, like the Onion has been doing, and the professional CTers need to be marginalized by society for the crackpots and con artists they are.
What is truly scary to me is that there are people here who actually believe the utter swill of Oliver Stone, who doesn't even pretend to tell the truth about the assassination, and think Jim Garrison, a totally deranged district attorney who DESERVED ridicule and shame until Stone dragged his name back out from the rock from which he came, as a hero. THAT is scary because it is NOT true.
In the end, it doesn't matter what you or I think. The truth is the truth. Oswald did it alone. So did Ruby. Period.
