88. He's making money off of this revelation, no doubt. I don't hear much new on JFK on MSM,

Nov 2013

it's all the same rehash. There's the occasional interview with the author who supports the WCR.

I can't say I blame you for seeing the humor in SJH, I don't vouch for his resume or his approach to the subject matter, but then he never asked. I am skeptical of Alex Jones and the others too, and likewise for anyone who believes the official report is complete.

It doesn't change the fact that he's not the only person who has offered up intriguing info. I'm sure it will take years before any consensus is reached, if there ever is one to come.

It doesn't change the fact that those in the majority believe there were two shooters.

I understand those who do believe the WCR, but when the Kennedy family has recently opened up about their own disbelief.
There is much to consider. Jackie married Onassis for protection for her children's sakes. Everything she did was about protecting them.

I have to laugh myself, you all sure keep fighting CT, why? It should be easy to sweep away, but instead those who doubt Oswald as the lone shooter is in majority.

Enjoy it, KA, it's going to be around for some time to come.
