| JFK's Assassination Was A Government Conspiracy |
| I just want to see what people have to say about this, because I don't know why Lee Harvey Oswald would want to kill JFK (or if he didn't, why anyone else would want to). If you want to go further, explain your opinions on the weird coincidences between his death and Abraham Lincoln's. |

I honestly don't know, and I'll acknowledge many have delved far deeper into this question than I
ever will -- and yet still it isn't resolved.
I just think where there's smoke there's fire. Why after all this time are some (and not just a
few) people absolutely adamant it was a conspiracy? Well, it's because they've got some pretty good
leads even if they don't have the smoking gun. |

Of course it was a conspiracy. Even Richard Nixon, on the secretly recorded White House tapes, said
the verdict of the Warren Commission (which pinned the blame on Oswald) was the "greatest hoax ever
perpetuated".
Incidentally, there were only two guys who couldn't remember where they were when Kennedy was killed
: George Bush and Richard Nixon. When there whereabouts was investigated, guess where it turned out
to have been : Dallas. They just happened to be in Dallas at the time Kennedy was killed, but it
somehow slipped their minds. |

I'll skip right to the "coincidences".
"Abraham Lincoln and JFK were elected to congress in 1846 and 1946, and to the Presidency in 1860
and 1960."
While true, it's hardly surprising, considering that elections are 4 years apart.
"Both presidents were shot on a Friday."
The odds are 1/7. Not that small.
"Both were assassinated by Southerners."
A dubious use of "Southerners". JWB was born in Maryland, yet spent a great deal of his life in the
North.
"Both were succeeded by Southerners."
Seeing as Abraham Lincoln wanted to appeal to the South, of course he chose a Southerner as his Vice
President. Kennedy was from New England, and wanted to appeal to the South and South West. An
obvious vice president would be Johnson.
"Booth ran from a theater into a warehouse. Oswald ran from a warehouse and into a theater."
Inaccurate and superficial. Booth ran from a theater that in which plays are produced, and ran into
a tobacco shed DAYS LATER, which is hardly a warehouse. Oswald ran from a warehouse, but he ran into
a MOVIE theater, HOURS later.
It's not difficult to find patterns and coincidences from two entirely different sets of data, and
cast the rest aside. |

I can't claim to have much real knowledge. I will mention two things; I have seen reliable evidence,
including a full scale reproduction of the 'magic bullet' that I found entirely credible. Secondly I
think Oswald was capable of making those shots. |

I always thought that it was a given that it wasn't LHO. We even learnt at school about the poor
view from the book depository, the inaccuracy and firing rate of the gun, the fact that LHO was a
poor shot in the army etc. Then recently I saw a documentary that showed the view from the book
depository and it was fine. They showed LHO's record from the army and he was the best shot in his
group. They got the same gun and a man shot off 3 shots quickly and accurately. I am still in 2
minds but the fact that there appeared to be a conspiracy about the conspiracy theory has left me
not knowing what to believe. |

Hmmm...not sure, but if you want a good response against it, go to the Central Intelligence Agency
website, and make a search in unclassified documents for JFK assassination. |

JFK's asasination was proven to be a planned out criminal act against not just one man but the whole
country. |

I don't think it was a conspiracy, I just think that the government just wanted to blame somebody
likely for the assassination. |

Although this is one of the more credible conspiracy theories, I just think there is insufficient
evidence to know what really happened. Although it may seem very clear that it was indeed Lee Harvey
Oswald acting alone, there are some things that just don't fit and a few reasons to doubt that
explanation. I guess the truth will never come out.
For now though, I choose to believe that it wasn't a government conspiracy. |

I don't necessarily believe it in any particular conspiracy theory. I believe there is a lot more
to this situation that we will never know. The possibilities are endless. |
