You may have called me a Moron or an idiot and never once have i ever
made a negative attack on your post but, as for JFK....

Mafia Godfather Joe Bonano saw Jack Ruby gun down Oswald and knew
immediately that it was a mob hit. Bonano offered to testify before the
Warren Commission but never was called.

In 1963, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev ordered the KGB to find
President Kennedy's killer. The FBI never asked for the KGB's report.

Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey secretly identified who they believed
ordered JFK's assassination.

Robert Kennedy's biographer finally admitted RFK, the president's
brother and then-attorney general, prevented testimony of certain
witnesses to the Warren Commission.

Kennedy's brain -- a crucial piece of forensic evidence -- was stolen by
a U.S. Navy admiral, on Robert Kennedy's orders.

Robert Kennedy didn't want his brother's death investigated because the
investigation might uncover the fact that he, along with the president
and the rest of the Kennedy White House, had drawn up operational plans
to assassinate Fidel Castro after the Bay of Pigs invasion

O'Leary and Seymour note investigative bodies of the U.S. government
have made numerous claims, including that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone
assassin; that only two shots hit their target, that the bullets fired
that day all came from the sixth floor of the Texas Schoolbook
Depository; and that Kennedy was killed because he was preparing to pull
all U.S. troops out of Vietnam.

The authors insist all of these claims are false and are designed to
placate the American public and distract them from the facts of the
case.

They acknowledge most readers will find it difficult to accept that
Kennedy authorized the overthrow of the Catholic government of South
Vietnam and the assassination of Diem, South Vietnam's democratically
elected, constitutional president.

After all, Kennedy had generously pledged American troops, military
equipment and tax dollars to protect South Vietnam from the threat of
communism.

But the authors of "Triangle of Death" provide evidence Kennedy
personally asked a high-ranking U.S. military officer to assassinate
Diem, who was a political disaster-in-the-making for the president.

The events were set into motion when a Buddhist leader named Quang Duc
calmly sat down in a Saigon street June 11, 1963, soaked himself with
gasoline, lit a match and burned himself to death.

The news swept through the world, and when the full extent of Diem's
brutality toward the Buddhists became apparent, America immediately
began to ask itself the obvious questions, O'Leary and Seymour write:
"Why is the U.S. supporting a foreign government that engages in
religious persecution? Why is President Kennedy sending U.S. military
personnel to help the government of a man who puts his own people into
concentration camps?"

The authors point out: "Until then, America believed the increasing
number of U.S. men and women being sent to South Vietnam – close to
15,000 by June 1963 – and the $1.2-million-per-day aid package were to
help the South Vietnamese fight the deadly Vietcong. But literally
overnight, the U.S. was internationally perceived as a bunch of buffoons
who were propping up a tyrant."

With the next U.S. presidential election just over a year away, they
write, "Kennedy was infuriated; moreover, he and his political
consultants were scared."

People "already believed that Kennedy had stolen the election, based on
suspicious vote-counting in Illinois; a Catholic U.S. president
supporting a Catholic fanatic who was intent on persecuting another
religious group would provide them with all the ammunition they needed
in November of '64."

The authors contend they have irrefutable evidence the Kennedy White
House supported a coup d'etat against the government of South Vietnam
and the assassination of President Diem.

"More than anything else," they write, "this was the rich ground in
which a counter-conspiracy was planted, the conspiracy that led to
President Kennedy's own assassination."

So, to the question I think Lee Oswald is innocent and was set-up to
cover up the true killer....

Hmmm, I would cite that evidence us unverifiable. While some of it may
have contextual relevance, the main focus of the warren commission was
to uphold that the investigated circumstances held water. The fact is,
the "magic bullet theory" is solid science. My father IS a gun expert,
so I had taken the opportunity to question him on that part.

As for evidence of a conspiracy...

The evidence supporting such theories are typically wildly speculative,
having connections that are emotionally compelling but circumstantially
suspect. Most of this "evidence" falls under "begging the
question".

Still, that doesn't mean it CAN'T be true...

Shadow, it would be helpful if you opened a new thread. Not trying to be
pushy (here comes the infamous "but")but DaVinci asked for a simple yes
or no.
