and shown in the CBS reairing this past weekend where he talked about all of the assassinations and attempted assassinations up to that point in American history, and batshit crazy people are the ones who murder or try to murder presidents.
Even the Lincoln so-called conspiracy wasn't really one at all. Booth was as nutty as the rest of them.
You can say it's the most extreme example of American individualism.
I've said over and over given all of the forensic, circumstantial, and eyewitness testimony in fifty years that it is a FACT that Lee Harvey Oswald alone killed JFK and Officer Tippit and wounded Governor Connally. He was an epic fail of a human being who, at 24, failed at everything he did. He failed in the military, he failed in school, he failed in his jobs, he failed in his marriage. The Soviets wouldn' t have him, the Cubans wouldn't have him, and his wife wouldn't have him, the last most probably the catalyst that sent LHO over the edge to actually do the deed and commit the murders. Marina turned down his last plea to move her and the children to live with him in Dallas the night before the assassination. To deny this after all these years is like being a creationist, or a flat-earther. Believing there is a conspiracy doesn't make it so. It is what it is, and we need to just face the truth and move on.
People like David Talbot who still peddled conspiracy bullshit are in it for the money. They are doing the country a disservice peddling speculation and outright lies.
The older I get, the less I put up with conspiracy nonsense. Those peddling this nonsense for money need to be shunned and ridiculed like the Onion did with several of its recent satires of the conspiracy theories.
