Default Kennedy Assasination: A very sad 60th anniversary of the death of a sitting president

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the shooting of president Kennedy in Dealy Plaza in Dallas Texas. The Warren Commission concluded that the President was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald.

Cyril Wecht, a Forensic Pathologist who had worked on Kenndey at Parkland Hospital has said the Commission's report is badly flawed. Dr. Wecht concluded there had to be at least two shooters and is not at all convinced that Lee Harvey Oswald was one of the shooters. Oswald had tested negative for a paraffin test meaning Oswald didn't fire a weapon.

Snipers have sought to recreate the shooting and have collectively said that it wasn't possible to get off three shots with a relatively cheap rifle in a few seconds and score lethal hits as Oswald is purported to do. Jesse brings up some interesting points.



Former Minnesota Governor Jess Ventura, who had been a Navy Seal has publicly said that the shots Oswald is purported to have made were impossible.

What is known is that a sitting president was killed who absolutely didn't want American troops committed to Vietnam. Vice president Johnson took over for Kennedy and committed troops to Vietnam and America had a direct 8 year war in Vietnam and lost 58, 220 American personnel and many others wounded.

How different things might have been had President Kennedy lived. Jack Kennedy's brother " Bobby " Kennedy was killed less than 5 years later on June 6th, 1968 as he was running for President of the U.S.

Decide for yourself if that doesn't scream conspiracy in removing the Kennedy's from further contention in American Politics.


* Edit: I had mistakenly stated that Jesse Ventura had been a NAVY Seal. Jesse Had completed UDT ( Underwater Demolition Teams ) and are considered an Amphibious unit. Because he graduated BUD/S in class 58 in December 1970 and was part of Underwater Demolition Team 12 which became SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team One. His claim of being a SEAL rests on whether one agrees that UDTs and SEALs are one in the same.

My apologies for any confusion.

Its easy to watch the shooting video and realize there is no way that is a bolt action rifle, its a semi-automatic rifle probably an m14 style sniper rifle.

The weapon purported to have been used in the Kennedy Assination by Oswald was a bolt action, scoped, Mannlicher-Carcano rifle of Italian design in 6.5x52mm caliber, not an M14.

Yes and the Diem assassination and Coup in Vietnam twenty days before is connected. Its all a legacy of these Intelligence and Covert operations departments, agencies, groups etc. that evolved out of WWII that we are afflicted with today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngo_Dinh_Diem

I doubt the real truth, whatever that is will ever be known.

You may well be right on that, too. I really doubt we will ever know for sure about the events of that day.

As a former KGB said in a documentary

Find the motive behind the assassin and you will find the killer(s)
