Much of what is out there as far as conspiracy theory,is the result of people repeating,not researching. When you actually look into what is documented as opposed to what is exaggerated,the guilt of Oswald is indisputable,as is the absolute lack of any credible conspiracy evidence.

The Mob could never have successfully pulled this off and kept it quiet,not in a million years,and no one else had a motive that would necessitate the public murder of the President.

If they were so powerful and able to infiltrate the highest levels of our government and intelligence community,JFK would have just died in his sleep,or from a swift and fatal disease. There is no purpose to be served by killing him in front of the nation.
Bottom line,look at each of the main elements of the "conspiracy" with an open mind,examining both sides,and the conclusion is inescapable. Lone nut,lone shooter.


Lou_Para you always have some good info's and opinions on many things,but i have to disagree with you on this one.I dont belive that Oswald was actin alone,yes he was a nut but not alone( plus now way he could do the shots with that shitty rifle that was found).And yes the mob was able to infiltrate the highest levels of the government and intelligence community,escpecialy the Chicago outfit in the Giancana era.Dont get me worng i aint sayin that the mob was the main player in the conspiracy,but had its own part in it.
Both the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations have accepted the fact that the rifle found in the Depository was in fact the rifle from which the three shots were fired. That aside,there is a great deal of chain of custody evidence that puts the rifle in Oswald's hands from the time of purchase to the JFK shooting.
As far as the quality of the weapon,Ron Simmons,chief of the Army's Infantry Weapons Evaluation Branch fired Oswald's rifle and found it "quite accurate"(his words).Also at that time,the exact same type of rifle was being used by the Italian Nato rifle team in competition.As far as the other stuff,I have to stick by my premise that I have yet to see any actual evidence of Mob involvement.
And by the way,permit me to return the compliment. You also have some pretty cool info and insights.
