22. Oswald was exactly who he said he was ----- A Patsy!

I researched and read for 60 years --- I was 15 the day JFK was assassinated, and 15 when the Beatles came to America. As well as I know the Beatles are the greatest band of all time, I know that Lee Harvey Oswald was a patsy. The Chief of Police, Jesse Curry, admitted in 1969 that investigators were never able to put Oswald in the 6th floor window with a gun, that the paraffin test was negative -- he did NOT fire a rifle that day, NO witnesses (over 50) who reported gunfire from the knoll were called to testify before the Warren Commission (the exception Sam Holland, RR supervisor, who did testify but was cut off by the Commission). This is just the tip of the iceberg. The Assassinations Records Review Board, appointed by President Clinton, uncovered unbelievable information, and the books of Doug Horne, a member of the review board should be read. There are still 4400 documents held by the Archives that apparently will never be released because they are "too sensitive." After 60 years?

If you want to believe the official lies and coverups -- and there were legitimate reasons for it at the time -- keep your head in the sand and be blissfully ignorant in the fiction that Oswald acted alone. I believe the signs show that since the assassination plot in Chicago was foiled in November 1, 1963, by a tip from an FBI informant named "Lee" .... well, I'll leave it there. Read Abraham Bolden's book. President Biden just pardoned him and wiped out his conviction. He's the first African American Secret Service Agent, selected by JFK, who told the truth, was railroaded into a bribery conviction by dirty SS officials, and sent to prison. Read it if you dare!

Hmmm... Mike Nelson Nov 2023 #14
Well, we know that Rob Reiner is a filmmaker so he decided to produce this theory that he's developed over the years Rhiannon12866 Nov 2023 #15
Ok... Mike Nelson Nov 2023 #16
Not having seen it, I'm not on board with his theory, but it does sound interesting Rhiannon12866 Nov 2023 #17
It's difficult for some to reconcile that a a Great Leader like Kennedy was killed by a loser nobody in a back room.... MagaSmash Nov 2023 #18
That's certainly what I grew up believing, but Rob Reiner's theory will no doubt be interesting. Rhiannon12866 Nov 2023 #19
It's challenging to watch Oliver Stone's film "JFK" and NOT have questions about what happened FailureToCommunicate Nov 2023 #20
