Who Killed JFK?

Who Killed JFK? What the Evidence Indicates: A right-wing faction of the CIA with some help from its friends. In CIA lingo, friends are referred to as "assets." CIA "assets" were also employed to help cover-up the crime. This right-wing faction was angry at JFK for his refusal to commit to a full-scale invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs and for his efforts to seek an accommodation with the Soviet Union and Fidel Castro. Some of the CIA officers implicated are: Richard Helms, James Angleton, David Phillips, E. Howard Hunt, Ted Shackley, William Harvey, David Morales, Ed Lansdale, and George Joannides. Typing any of these CIA officer's names into an Internet search engine, along with the words "JFK assassination," will lead to a treasure trove of linkages.

The CIA Frames One of its Own

Was Oswald a spy? After reviewing all available evidence, the answer to the question seems to be a resounding "yes." The following is a quick look at some of the evidence pointing to Oswald's involvement with spy work:

* His childhood -- a bright loner who read a wide range of books and was drawn to unpopular ideas, attracted by spy stories (the TV show "I Led Three Lives" and Ian Fleming's James Bond novels were among his favorites) -- perfectly fits the profile of persons most desired for intelligence work.

* Oswald's Marine career is checkered with inconsistencies and unexplained events that suggest secret intelligence training.

* His assignment to Atsugi base in Japan, which housed a large CIA facility.

* Oswald's incredible ability with the Russian language. Several Russians, including his wife, said he spoke like a native, yet this high-school dropout reportedly taught himself Russian from books.

* The fact that several persons -- including a former CIA paymaster, Oswald's Marine roommate, and fellow Marine Gerry Patrick Hemming -- have suggested that Oswald worked for U.S. intelligence.

* The manner in which Oswald traveled so easily in and out of Russia as well as the unaccounted-for funds he used suggests intelligence guidance.

* The ability of this American "defector" to leave the Soviet Union with his Russian-born wife at a time when most Russians were being denied exit permits.

* The ease with which this would-be defector obtained passports both in 1959 and 1963.

* The fact that Oswald wrote a lengthy report on his activities in Russia and, later, made a detailed report to the FBI concerning his Fair Play For Cuba activities in New Orleans.

* Oswald's notebook contained the word "microdots," a common spy technique of photographically reducing information to a small dot.

* Oswald's nonbinding "defection" to Russia fits perfectly the profile of an Office of Naval Intelligence program to infiltrate American servicemen into the Soviet Union during the late 1950's.

* One of Oswald's closest contacts, George DeMohrenschildt, was himself an intelligence operative, first for the Nazis and later for the CIA.

* One of the strongest pieces of evidence for Oswald's involvement in spy work concerns a small Minox camera found among his effects by Dallas Police. Information developed by the Dallas Morning News in 1978 revealed the camera was not available to the public in 1963. It may have been spy equipment issued to Oswald. This evidence was so explosive that the FBI tried to get Dallas detectives to change their reports regarding the camera and also kept photos taken by Oswald hidden for nearly fifteen years.... Detective Rose told the Dallas Morning News: "[The FBI agents] were calling it a light meter, I know that. But I know a camera when I see it.... The thing we got at Irving out of Oswald's seabag was a Minox camera. No question about it. They tried to get me to change the records because it wasn't a light meter. I don't know why they wanted it changed, but they must have had some motive for it." The motive may have been that the existence of the camera pointed to Oswald's intelligence connections.... The three-inch-long German-made camera was famous for being used by spies on both sides during World War II.

Why 3/4ths of Americans today believe in a conspiracy revolving JFK

You know it's typical that the majority of all the National media out there still support the lone gunman myth and continue to ignore the facts about what happened that faithful day in Dallas, but here are the facts as I see them...

-FBI found no fingerprints on the Oswald rifle linking Oswald as the shooter.

-Oswald was administered a nitrates test, and was exonerated from the test. No nitrates were found on Oswald.

-The third wounded man James Tague who was nicked by a fragment, this disproves the lone gunmen myth! But Journalist continue to ignore the third wounded man.

-Deputy Roger Craig testifying to the Warren Report that the alleged assassins rifle found on the sixth floor was identified as a 7.65 German Mauer, and not the cheap manlicher carcano.

-A third rifle discovered on the roof of the school book depository captured on film by "Dallas Cinema Associates" this unknown weapon disapeared along with the Mauer shortly afterward.

-twenty plus witnesses at dailey plaza either saw or heard shots coming from the right side of the president.

-Officer Tippits murder indicates two shooters as well. Four cartridges found at the murder scene reveal 2 shells were remington bullets while the other two were winchester bullets, the bullets pulled from officer Tippet 3 were winchester bullets while only one was remington! indicating that the bullets were planeted, and the sequnce of bullets are all wrong. Turns out the winchester bullets came from an aoutomatic while Oswald had a .38 Revolver.

-FBI Bollistics expert Cortlandt Cunningham testified to the Warren report that he could not identify the bullets coming from Oswalds revolver.

-No fingerprints were ever found on Oswalds .38 Revolver!

-The Zapuder film that clearly shows John Kennedy shot from the front as his body is thrown violently backwards.

-JFK's brain disapearing from the National Archives.

-Kennedy's brown casket dumped in the Atlantic Ocean.

-James Wilcott a CIA financial director admitting underoath to the HSCA that Lee Oswald was a full-time agent for the CIA, and that his assignment in the USSR was a double agent assignment.

-Director Richard Helms admitting underoath that Clay Shaw was an agent for the CIA.

-Lee Oswalds involment with anti-castro groups in New Orleans.

-Howard Hunt's death bed confession on his involment with the JFK assassination.

-CIA still keeping secret millions of files regarding their anti-castro adventures in New Orleans and Miami (Dre organization).

-Bullet 399 causeing seven wounds and doesnt have a dent on it.

-Lyndon Johnson ordering all the Kennedy evidence locked up for seventy five years.

-witnesses on Houston street identifing 2 men on the sixth floor, none were Oswald.

This is just a fraction of why Americans today believe that the lone gunman theorie is myth and that their were more involved. I might add that these are not theories, but facts! sadly the National media continue to ignore the findings.
