I have noticed a lot of "news" in the mainstream media recently about Kennedy; promoting the "Oswald did it' nonsense. If that premise is so clear, and it "doesn't matter" anymore, why the recent propaganda campaign? Is somebody under pressure to counteract convincing evidence to the contrary?

First , the window on Ebay that never actually sold.

Now, "new" motorcade footage.

Oh, and don't forget Gopher's recent article.

Don't tell me this is an old or dead story. It has been all over the news lately.

Regarding the "proof" that Oswald did it:

"We're not a free country anymore. Because the people who are smart enough and powerful enough to take out a president 'like that' and get away with it. . . are probably involved in other areas of the government. In other words, the country is being run by people we did not vote for." - researcher Gary Mack, in The Men Who Killed Kennedy.

He is the one mentioned in the article and is now the government spokesmen at the "6th Floor Museum, the Government Propaganda facility in Dallas.

The reason has all to do with the Clintons.

The democrats have tried to make Billary look like the next Camelot for years. Certain liberal forces are just building up steam before the elections. The same thing happens every four years.... start showing lots of Kennedy footage, movies, and videos a year or two out. Then come the media comparisons between the "heavenly" Kennedy years, and the Clinton years. Next will come the news story tie-ins and hints between Kennedy, Bill Clinton, along with implications that we can re-live this enchanted time again if we only elect Hillary.

That's what is going on here.

That clip only showed a recently unearthed video of the motorcade and the environs. Nothing special.

The commentator on the MSNBC link you provided claimed that there was already definitive proof that Oswald was the lone gunman. Get over it. Move on to the next crap claim. It would be much more interesting.

For those of you who know who Gary Mack is, he appeared in the original episodes of the "Men Who Killed Kennedy" and said something to the effect that " men powerful enough to take out a President like that, are probably affecting other areas of our government" He is now the government spokesmen at the "6th Floor Museum, the government propaganda facility in Dallas.

Owald DID do it. ALot of the conspiracy claims have been easily rebuffed. Just the other day I watched a documentay where they rebuffed alot of them, like they say with a single bolt action oswald couldnt have fired to many shots, but they had a marine on the show duplicate it easily and so forth.

Most of the news now a days is commentary or propaganda.

I happened to see the footage on the news, but I'm not sure what to think of it. I guess in the end it doesn't do much for me either way.

We know, NAVFC, you have proven it to us before with your "TV specials". Too bad the majority of Americans are not with you on this.

According to the doctors who treated him at Parkland, Kennedy was shot twice in the front; the neck and the temple.

Oswald tested negative on his parafin test, court admissable evidence that he did not fire a rifle that day.

He WAS a "patsy".

Framing him served to make the official line story simple.

This is your proof? MSNBC's STATEMENT that he was the lone gunman? You take their word for it? You call mine , a crap claim. At least I have witnesses and evidence.

The Newmans were there:

John and Gayle Newman : They maintain to this day that-- "the shots came from the knoll". This is in complete contradition to the official story that Lee Oswald fired the only shots from above and behind. In fact , fifty one other witnesses confirm the Newman's story. While it can not be stated with absolute assurance that Oswald never fired a weapon on November 22, 1963, there is an abudance of evidence to support this idea. The Dallas Police paraffin test showed no nitrates on Oswald's cheek, court-admissable evidence that he had not fired a rifle , particularly the loose bolted Mannlicher- Carcano. Nitrate traces on both of his hands is not conclusive evidence that he fired a pistol either , since printer's ink and other material found at his workplace could account for the nitrates on his hands.

The majority of Americans believe in a sky god, too -- that doesn't make them right. Majorities may be the best thing going in a democracy, but it's inane to base your beliefs and opinions on them, because about as often as not it turns out the majority of people are idiots.

Just for record, I doubt Oswald acted alone, but I'm not willing to declare my doubt as fact.
