Possible Oswald-CIA connection ?

Post by Flesh Thorn »

Fifty years after shots rang out in Dealey Plaza, killing a larger-than-life figure and abruptly ushering in what one historian has called “the decade of shocks” – from Dallas to Watergate – the federal agency that stood at the center of seemingly all the intrigues and conspiracy theories of that shadowy era is still holding onto an estimated 1,100 documents relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The Central Intelligence Agency told Fox News this week through a spokesman that the National Archives now has custody over those tantalizing documents, along with a larger group of 90,000 or so pages of agency files on the assassination that have already been released.

Federal law mandates that all known records relating to the assassination will be released by 2017, unless any agency objects, in which case the Assassination Records and Review Board would consider the appeal; but the spokesman said the CIA as of now has no plans to pose any such objections.

Among the material that remains classified are the files of a number of long-deceased CIA officials who are believed by researchers to have had knowledge about the movements and actions of Lee Harvey Oswald, the president’s assassin, in the months before Dealey Plaza.

Duffelblog is satire -- as is Onion. Occasionally news services pick up their satire and treat it as serious news.

No, it is not. I love all the "new" information that has "never been seen before" dragged out every year because the news media is too lazy or too stupid to realize that this shit has been done and redone, again and again and again, every few years like clockwork.

Been there. Done that. AR15 theory goes back to 1992 and was debunked then.

For some reason the American public cannot believe that one lone fanatical guy could do this much damage to a Republic. It has to be a conspiracy, and depending on the generation, each decade there is a new boogie man for the conspiracy.

1960s - we didn't like communists so Kruschev and Castro did it
1970s - we didn't like what our government had done in Vietnam and other places, so the CIA did it
1980s - we didn't like what the mob was doing, so the mafia did it
1990s - we didn't like the new world order idea of Bush so the illuminati or some other shadow government did it
Now - we really don't trust our president, so the now a president, LBJ did it

Face it. One man did it, with an extremely easy shot... an 88 yard shot. You don't even zero your sniper rifle that close. Folks just cannot accept it though.

Great point, I think people often overlook the minimal skill required to make that shot. In most dramatic adaptations the shooter peers through the window at a target 600 meters away in a car doing 40 miles an hour.

[quote="wazzle"]The 16 degree down angle from right to left if the Oswald bullet hit Kennedy in the head would have ended up coming out through his lower face, not blowing out the right side of his head. Donahue covers the ballistics very extensively. I am just saying don't discount reading another take on the assassination. The Warren commission and the followup commission that was appointed years later both botched enough of the investigation.

You mention the AR15 was debunked in 1992. That is the year Donahue wrote the book Mortal Error.[/quote]

The problem with bullets and ballistics is that they never really do what you expect them to when fired into an object/person.

Bullets hit bones and changes direction all the time.

No shit. I actually had an SF guy on another site make a statement that "there is no way a single bullet would make multiple wounds"... it is almost as if they suspend everything they had ever seen their entire life, just because some guy selling a book tells them so.
