Did Oswald Act Alone

A View To A Kill
As the motorcade turned left from Houston Street, throngs of people lined the street waving and cheering at president John F. Kennedy and his lovely wife Jackie. Being a warm day in Dallas, Texas, the limo they traveled in was a convertible model.
Hundreds of people had camera’s snapping away at the president as he rode passed smiling and waving to the crowd. Abraham Zapruder was one of them. He was filming the presidents motorcade. An instant later, all hell broke loose. Shots rang out, the president slumped over, people dove to the ground covering up, police officers and secret service men shouting as the black limo carrying the president sped away toward the triple underpass.
What happened next is what conspiracies are made of. Many witnesses claimed to have seen and heard smoke and the sound of a gun shot coming from the grassy knoll. Some people heard 3 shots, some four, and some five shots. Some people claim to have seen suspicious people lurking around that seemed out of place such as a man with an open umbrella on a sunny day.
Keep in mind, it was total pandemonium. People just witnessed their president gunned down and murdered. Of course there would be inconsistencies with their recollections of events that just transpired.
Tomorrow is the 45th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was captured and questioned and was the number one suspect and then was brutally gunned down on national live television by Jack Ruby as he was being transported to a more secure location. Before Oswald died, he yelled out that he did not kill the president and that he would not be a patsy. This is a telling statement by Oswald. If Oswald did not act alone, it would mean there was a cover up and a conspiracy.
Forty Five years later, the debate continues. My own blog, the Grassy Knoll Institute, is directly tied to the Kennedy conspiracy. There are generations born since that only have history books and the media to learn the facts or what is believed to be the facts.
I want to know what my readers believe.
Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone in assassinating president John F. Kennedy or was there a second gunman that fateful day, November 22nd, 1963?

    The only thing that makes me question all of the assassination conspiracy theories is that by this time, if the conspiracy was as massive as it is alleged to have been, the truth simply could not have been held back. I tend to believe that if Oswald did not act alone, it was the work of two or three people rather than a massive conspiracy and cover up by the entire federal, state and local governments. The body switch described by David Lifton in Best Evidence could be easily explained by over-zealous Secret Service personnel who were consumed with protecting the family’s privacy and were simply trying to avoid a press mob at the autopsy site.
    It is a mystery – one of the great mysteries of our day. Perhaps we will never know for certain.

    This assasination is in my mind the first time I read about it, some 34 years ago. The first thing was, this can’t be true, the way they said it, government/FBI/CIA.
    This was a overall planned action, by the government/FBI/CIA/
    Sectret Service.
    There must been at least two teams, mayby three. Two at the back, one at the front(head shot). If you look in this matter and see all the people who has there interest in this killing and spoke about it, there were about 10-12 shots. You have to ask yourself what happened afterwards. With his car(directly repaired and cleaned?), body(no good autopsy), the place where the shots rang out(within hours it was clear and open for the puplic), the investigation(wellknown about the magic bullet theory?), the many people who were there at the scene, the book depository(three bullits in line with the rifle gun Mauser-the wrong one at first, see testimony of sherrif of Dallas-Roger Craig).
    It’s one big blur, created by the government/FBI/CIA/Secret Service. The truth will and can’t come out, everybody knows that JFK is killed, not by Oswald. The official files, or whats left of it, will not be open till 2032, thanks to G.W.Bush. WHY? Thats mine real concern. They continue it and I realy hope that Obama, can do his job and build a country that is proud of itself. Not make war, but put that money in their own country, because a lot of people need that, see what happened with Katrina. But when he is stopping war in Irak/Afganistan, I hope the people of the warindustry will let him live, if not he ends up like JFK.

    I think the question isn’t “did Oswald act alone”, but rather “did Oswald act AT ALL”? Personally I doubt whether he was involved in the actual shooting at all. He seems to have been set up to take the blame by someone far more powerful, organised and ruthless. Oswald, an immature 24 year old who liked to think he was playing with the big boys, MAY have been involved in the conspiracy at some level, but possibly not fulfilling the role he thought he was. Most probably, those behind the assassination used Oswald as the patsy he said he was, while telling him he was playing some other important part in the proceedings.

    My God! There’s a ton of evidence that Kennedy was done away with by elements of the CIA with the help of the mob. They say a massive conspiracy like this would sooner or later come to light? How? Blatant evidence means nothing. People are sheep and will always remain that way. The only hope for a return to Democracy in this country is A MASSIVE TURN OUT OF PEOPLE IN THE STREETS, demanding justice, people willing to risk their lives – not in Iraq – but in the streets of America. This country is run by desperate criminals who will stop at nothing. The CIA has helped wipe out millions of people around the world. Does this bother the American people? Not a bit. The media has them worrying about unborn foetuses, meanwhile actual children are being maimed in the streets of Bagdad, in Panama, in Nicaragua and elsewhere – and the the conscience of Christians aren’t bothered at all. Stay on your knees, fools. That’s where serfs belong.

      Amazing Orson…you have it ALL figured out! The Christians of America have no conscience….they are a bunch of hypocrites running around and beating down the “hard working” American while they suck the “lifeblood” from a society that so desires to be healed! The Government is out to get us! It is run by Empirilistic Christians who want to convert the world to their “mindless” cult!!! I’m sure by now…you would say…right on brother…tell it!!! Why is it so hard to believe what has been told…what people have seen? Why do you hang on to an idea that the people that join together to “form a more perfect union” are the very ones that you fear the most. Why? Because you are an anarchist! “massive turnout in the streets?” What does that mean? “demanding justice” for whom? The criminal? What astounds me is that you speak with such conviction as if you know the truth….I don’t think you would recognize the truth if it was right in front of you. Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone? Well….how about this; I challenge everyone of you “conspiracy theorists” to use your collective brainpower and financial backing…(pool it all together) and solve it once and for all!!! Then we can all know that you were right! My guess on that one is that the “all seeing big brother”, “the man”, big rich government that has been completely filled with Christian bygots for all time or at least 1963 will squash you all like little tiny bugs by deploying a nerve agent in the middle of your street rally and cover it up as a cult “kool aid” scenario….sounds strangely familiar…

    The man who fired the kill shot from The Grassy Knoll is named James Files. I found his confession video on this Doom 2012 site. He used an early version of the Remington Fireball XP-100 that fired a .222 bullet. After firing the kill shot, he says he bit the removed bullet casing and left it on the fence. In 1987, John Rademacher found a .222 shell casing with a dent that matches a bite mark in The Grassy Knoll area…

    Nonsense. The government has done all it can to keep people from seeing into the facilities at Groom Lake/Area 51, it came up with not one but 2 ! stories ” explaining ” Roswell which were bs ( and which the liberal NY Times bought hook, line & sinker ), and you think they couldn’t cover up an assassination where the supposed Commission failed to discover so much and also failed to interview crucial witnesses at the time ?
    There are so many anamolies about the assasination that I can’t even begin to list them here.
    But I will mention 1…
    Remember Jack Ruby wanting to tell all but only in Washington ? Dorothy Killgallen interviewed him in jail. She died soon afterwards and after telling friends she was going to blow the lid off of the JFK assassination and Roswell.
    Ruby suddenly developed a ” cold “. Much was made of this at the time. Suddenly, he was found to have incurable cancer and died from it.
    Remember Yuri Andropov, leader of the Soviet Union and former head of the KGB ? HE suddenly got a cold too and then died soon thereafter.
    And Pope John Paul I died of…mysterious circumstances with no autopsy and his notes were missing. He was going to blow the lid off the Vatican Bank.
    Given enough time you can hide anything in this country.

        LOTGK and Senda are correct on this point. Hidel, you are completely niave and uninformed about (what’s referred to as) ‘machinery of government’. Understand and accept the fact that ALL governments employ ‘spin doctors’ and other agents specifically to “manage” (ie. “control”) the public and media using whatever ways, means, methods and mechanisms they can get away with … all for the sole purpose of maintaining power. Any government will only tell the media whatever it wants the public to think.

        The very reason this conspiracy still lingers today is that if you ask 100 people if you think Oswald acted alone, you get about 40% who say no. And, if you ask if they think the Warren Commision report explaine devery detail and avenue, almost all of them will say no. Now you have a conspiracy whether you like it or not. If the Warren commission would have done their job in the beginning, this would be way over.

      Nonsense you say? Perhaps not.
      “Shortly after the murder of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, a Christchurch, New Zealand morning newspaper printed a detailed story it received on the New York news wire about Kennedy’s “assassin” Lee Harvey Oswald. There was a major problem with this news story, because at the time the New Zealand newspaper went to press in Christchurch, Lee Harvey Oswald had only just been arrested in a Dallas cinema for the alleged murder of a Texas policeman called Tibbet. Several more hours passed before Dallas police even accused Oswald of the murder of President Kennedy. So the Christchurch newspaper inadvertently printed an impossible story, a concocted lie “seeded” onto the New York news wire too early by the real murderers, who forgot that international time zones and thus real-time would allow the New Zealand newspaper to print their pre-arranged cover story hours before the events happened. That single critical planning error proved conclusively Lee Harvey Oswald was only a fall-guy, a patsy arrested and charged on cue by the unwitting Dallas Police Force.”

    hahahahahaha Amelia Earhart shot him from the sky. He didnt really die at the time but was spirited away to the Greek Isles to live out his days. Thats why Jackie married Ari – so she could be with her beloved Jack and no one would suspect anything about her being in Greece. I know this is true – if not, all my years of schooling were for nothing and again I got ripped off by a government intent on letting me believe that I am smarter than I really am. I hate it when I get ripped off by the government – there really should be a law or maybe there is and I was too busy investigating the Greek angle that day and missed the class. I really hate it when that happens.

    “Lee Harvey Oswald” fired the shots, and therefore is responsible for the death and injuries. That is what certainly appears to be the case.
    Did he act alone? Good question, a decent case can be made either way, but neither can be proved.
    The thing that I found the most interesting about the whole affair deals with the remains of “Lee Harvey Oswald”. The funeral director who took care of the final arrangements from begin to end, who really has no horse in the conspiracy theory what-so-ever, has some very strange things to report. Obviously, the deceased man that was embalmed, dressed, put in the casket, then buried, was the only body the funeral director would have seen, or dealt with, but it is after all that, years later, that things get particularly interesting.
    The funeral director said in an interview, the death of the cemetery worker, after a secret supposed disinterment of the body of “Lee Harvey Oswald”, was suspect. Also he (the funeral director), was involved with a documented disinterment of the body of “Lee Harvey Oswald” for a forensic exam, and he saw things with the grave that were strange. He also said that the forensic exam also uncovered some very strange things indeed. He was suppose to write a book about it. Do not know if he did yet, but if what he said was indeed true, it is the grave of “Lee Harvey Oswald” that is the weirdest thing about the JFK assassinating.

    The question has always been “Was LHO the only shooter, or was he one of multiple shooters?” Why do we assume that he was a shooter at all? Maybe there were 2 or 3 shooters, with none being LHO. What’s the physical evidence that he’s *a* shooter, let alone *the* shooter? He wasn’t seen in the act of shooting. Maybe someone DID fire at the motorcade from the book depository, but how do we know it was LHO? Were his hands checked to see if he had recently fired a gun?
