1/10th the price of that sweet sweet nickel plated M1 Carbine; bling ghetto king opportunity lost!

Sirhan was born to an Arab Christian family in Jerusalem, where he attended a Lutheran school.[3][4] In 1989, he told David Frost: "My only connection with Robert Kennedy was his sole support of Israel and his deliberate attempt to send those 50 fighter jets to Israel to obviously do harm to the Palestinians."[

Oswald was never in Mexico city.

Quoted:

Oswald purchased the now infamous surplus Carcano by mail-order from Kline’s Sporting Goods after seeing an advertisement in “The American Rifleman” (the NRA publication). Why? Probably because it was CHEAP.

Quoted:

Concur.  I don't believe in magic bullets or as the Germans would say, frei kugel (bullets guided by the devil).

Quoted:
He was a patsy.

Quoted:
Oswald was generally a loser and a failure in life. Intelligent, enough, he desperately wanted to succeed at…something…anything. He dove headfirst into anything that interested him but quickly became disenchanted when his lofty ideals collided with reality. This was a pattern he repeated throughout most of his short, unfulfilling life. So, at age 24, Oswald found himself a failure as a husband, a failure a father, a failure as a Marine, even a failure at being a Communist! He was basically broke, working in a dead-end job.

Oswald purchased the rifle in MARCH of 1963. The President’s plan to visit Dallas wasn’t planned until SEPTEMBER of 1963. So, it is unlikely that Oswald purchased the rifle with a specific intention to assassinate JFK. In addition, Oswald took a job at the Texas State School Book Depository in October of 1963 but BEFORE the Presidential motorcade route had been determined (the route would be dependent on where the official luncheon and other events would take place). The route was not publicly announced until November 19, 1963.

If you study the JFK assignation you can only come to one of two conclusions. Either that JFK was murdered as the result of the most well-planned, well-executed assassination of all time, requiring precision timing and absolute secrecy from dozens of black hat players at both the highest and lowest levels (who maintained that secrecy for the rest of their lives) OR that JFK was murdered by a motivated loser, desperate to be remembered for something, who found himself in the right place at the right time with just enough rifle and just enough skill to connect two out of three shots at a range of about 88 yards.

Which scenario is most likely to have happened?

There were definitely cover-ups and conspiracies. However, they were formed in the aftermath, almost immediately after the last shot rang-out, in an effort to deflect blame, become famous, accuse others, seize power and the ever classic covering of individual asses.

Quoted:

I believe there was only one gunman. But he was not LHO.   He was a patsy.  I never understood if LHO was the shooter, how the cops got on his tail so fast.  Hundreds of people running around with the hair on fire, yet the cops magically knew to apprehend LHO?!?!

I had always heard carcanos were shit? Was this not commonly known at the time? Surely all the ww2 vet gun store bros were around talking about how Carcanos were shit.

Quoted:


Yes he was. They didn’t admit it during the warren commission, came out much later. Undermines some of the official narrative.

Allen Dulles, CIA director, is fired by Kennedy over the Bay of Pigs. He then serves on the Warren Commission and clears the CIA of involvement. Lol

Quoted:
It must be November because the JFK Conspiracy industry has reawakened from annual 11-month long hibernation.

Here's the facts:

1. Lee Harvey Oswald, a Marxist ACLU supporter murdered President John F. Kennedy, an NRA Life member.  If it were today, Oswald would be clearly in the 'Antifa' camp.
2. Oswald thought it up all by himself with one day's notice and it wasn't his first attempt at murdering a political figure.
3. The Italian military surplus rifle he used in Dallas was perfectly suitable and capable of making the resulting hits from 44 and 88 yards in just under nine seconds, including one visible 'No Idea' miss.
4. Even as a middling scored USMC Marksman who once went 'Unq' (Unqualified) at the range in his 'Fleet service, Oswald was more capable a rifleman than 98% of American males of his age group.
5. Since the release of the Warren Commission Report on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, countless gadflys, hucksters, conspiracy theorists, and Left wing fellow travelers have made measly amounts of money for themselves keeping the debate alive profiting off dullards, the easily fooled, ideologic communists, ideologic fascists, people who enjoy unfounded spooky stories, and the intellectually lazy who are both too simple to do any examination of claims on their own and are desperate to appear intelligent on the Internet.
6. Almost every single thing you've ever heard or read about the JFK Assassination that factually deviates from the Warren Commission report, no matter how innocuous it may seem, is complete bullshit if not outright agitation propaganda.

Quoted:
Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best explanation. LHO was the shooter. The only shooter. He shot from his place of employment. Motorcade route was well publicized days earlier. Personally, I think he acted on his own but we'll never know for sure. Jack Ruby's killing of LHO is the reason for the uncertainty. And Ruby was killed which means we will never know sure. True or not I imagine the conspiracy theories will be with us until we invent time travel.

Quoted:

Jack Ruby died in prison, of a pulmonary embolism after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

Quoted:
One last thing I learned that I never knew:

On April 10, 1963, just seven months before he shot and killed President John F. Kennedy, the inscrutable assassin Lee Harvey Oswald crouched behind a fence in an upscale Dallas neighborhood and aimed his rifle at the window of an ultra-conservative firebrand named Edwin Walker, a former U.S. Army general.


Oswald fired, but the bullet caromed off the windowsill and missed Walker's head by an inch. The Dallas Police Department's investigation came up cold and Oswald, already flagged by the FBI, evaded further scrutiny. The weapon that Oswald fired at Walker a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle bought under a false name was the very same that would take President Kennedy's life on November 22 of that same year.

Maybe he valued the scope?

Quoted:
He worked part time in a book depository, he was poor as fuck.

Quoted:
He also hung out with a bunch of deep cia guys and hung out with former business CIA oil men in Dallas.

Turns out he did know David Ferrie the whole time as well. David Ferrie also wrote two different suicide notes and promptly had an aneurism/broke his neck.

Books were already on the way out by then. He should have worked at an Apple or Verizon store. I'm sure they paid better.

Quoted:

I think JD Tibbets was supposed to kill LHO, but he got the drop on him instead

Quoted:
As an interesting side note, does anyone here know Jack Ruby's real name?

Quoted:
I was following this controversy back when the only way tosee the Zabruder film was to order a copy from an ad in Rolling Stone. I've gone from conspiracy believer to Oswald did the shooting alone believer. I'm open that somebody may have put Oswald up to it.
My favorite semi-crackpot theory is that Oswald was actually trying to kill Connelly and hit Kennedy by accident.

Quoted:
Dont matter why. Oswald shot Kennedy with a Carcajou and anyone that believes otherwise is is kind of dumb to be honest. Easy shot with any rifle

Quoted:
He couldn't afford anything better. He was perpetually broke and worked menial jobs. The carcano was about 180 dollars in todays money.

Quoted:


Go watch Oliver Stone's deep dive documentary JFK: Revisited and ALL your questions will be answered and you will never trust "the government" again. Oswald wasn't the only marine patsy they were going to use. They planned to get him in Chicago earlier but 5hat trip fell through so they whacked him later in Dallas with Oswald.
