Meh. Color me unimpressed.
What strikes me is that in 50 years no conspiracy theorist has come any closer to solving Kennedy's murder. That's because they are adamant in saying it is not their goal to do so. Instead they opt for the exoneration of Lee Harvey Oswald and the indictment of some massive, multi-headed, overlordly conspiracy that they can't even agree on. They pick away at the admittedly flawed Warren Commission but can never come up with a narrative of their own that explains all, or find the smoking gun ( or memo or deathbed confession) that finally blows the lid off. I predict 50 years from there will still be JFK conspiracy theories and Oswald will still be the only known culprit. Just less people will care.
Why, if the "Powers That Be" determined that the President must die, did they do so in full view of the public where it could be independently observed and recorded, in a way that conspiracy theorists claim was so very obviously a murder?
There are other methods for taking down a president you don't like.
Food poisoning. Scandal. Accident.
This is what I find so silly about the whole JFK assassination scenario as a conspiracy. It's not that the alleged conspirators chose the silliest way to shoot the President in public; it's that they chose the silliest way to get rid of him -- by shooting him in public.
