Default JFK Assasination, Catholicism, & Russia

Our Lady of Fatima urged us to pray for the conversion of Russia, the source of communist errors which have insidiously infiltrated society today. Was John F. Kennedy (JFK) assassinated because he was anti-communism, because he was Catholic, both, or neither? (cf. Kennedy's "secret societies" speech)

The scariest thing about the Kennedy assassination is that it proved to a new generation that all it takes is a nut with a gun to change history.

i was 11 years old when JFK was assasinated. i remember the whole weekend very clearly. it would be an understatement to describe the nation and the world as numb.
then we had the killing of oswald and the arrangements of the funeral and the sad pictures of jackie and her children. then we also had to come to terms that we had a new president - LBJ. it is hard to believe that it happened 46 years ago! unfortunately, in the 60's, there were many nuts with guns who changed history.

There is also a popular theory that LBJ was behind it. He hated JFK, or so they say.

I wonder if we'll ever find out what really happened.

The Mob wanted JFK out of the way, certain people in the military were hostile as well. The Kennedy's really antagonized some powerful people, but we may never know the real story. Awhile back I read a book about the assassination that supposedly covered every known theory including one that claimed it was a homosexual thrill kill. Ironically, the one they left out was that it was a Masonic murder. Deeley Plaza by the way has alot of Masonic symbolism to it.

yes, i have heard that theory also. LBJ disliked the Kennedy family because of all of their money and that they were born with silver spoons in their mouths.

the Kennedys got on the bad side of the mob also, so we will probably never know the whole truth behind what happened.

What is this world coming too when I agree with Lujack?

It’s hard for the American people to accept that a liberal loser like Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated the President of the United States.

I was in first grade when this happened if you watch the Oliver Stone movie JFK I was even in on it.

That movie was a complete joke but a lot of people think its fact.

With computer technology today looking at the film and sound effects Oswald is the only shooter.

If you check out his Marine marksmanship record Oswald would not have a problem with that head shot.

I’ve been on The Sixth Floor I would not have a problem with that shot either.

It's hard for me to accept that Jack Ruby murdered Oswald because he was so heartbroken over Kennedy. But who knows, maybe he was a strip club owner with a heart of gold.

Hi Luke65,

Evidence came out years later but Jack Ruby loved his dog very much. One of his strippers called him and asked him to wire some money to her. He put his dog in his car went to the Western Union wired the money.

He seen there was a lot of people around the police station he walked into the garage. His brother ask him why he shot him, he stated I seen that smiling smirk on his face I so mad that I pulled my gun and shot him.

If he would have planned this he would have been at the police station a lot earlier. The police was late transferring Oswald, Ruby stood in line at the Western Union took his turn and wired the money, and he would not have taken his dog with him that morning if this was a planned killing.

People that were interviewed that day only heard shots coming from the upper floor at the Dealey Plaza twenty years later these same people changed their testimony.

Two weeks earlier Oswald tried to assassinate a retired very conservative army two star general he missed. The round ended up in a window frame at the general’s home.

I used to think about and almost believe all those conspiracy theories until I started reading books on people that investigated Ruby and Oswald then when new technology came out and today you can view the Zapruder film frame by frame which you couldn’t do years ago.

All the evidence points to Oswald there is no doubt in my mind he did it and was the only one in on it.

Of course the way the media reports things, the so-called “The Pristine Bullet.” If you look at the real bullet it is not pristine at all.

Americans will probably be debating this a hundred years from now?

Dallas hospital orderlies report on the record that they wrapped JFK's body in a sheet and placed it into a wooden casket and the SS took it away to Washington. The orderly at B. N. Hospital in Washington reports that the body arrived in a Bronze metal casket and was in a plastic body bag.

The Marine who guarded the casket says that he watched it the whole time except when he was called to the front of Air Force One for the swearing in of LBJ (so that's the only time the switch could have been made).

All the Dallas doctors were later shown pre-autopsy photos and report someone had made crude cuts into JFK's skull after the body left Dallas but before the autopsy.

Who could have changed the casket and cut up the skull? Lee Harvey Oswald? The Mafia?

No, it could only have been someone with government affiliation and power. It was a government coup. It's common sense.

maybe when they landed in washington, the bronze metal casket was put on board and his body was transferred from the wooden casket at that time. i have never heard that story. i have read a few books. when you say a government coup - do you mean that LBJ and his people were behind it?
