Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone?

Poll - Total Votes: 22

Oswald was a person that acted completely alone

Oswald was but a part of a broader conspiracy

You can only vote on one answer.

For the younger people here, Oswald was the man who assassinated President John F Kennedy in Dallas in November of 1963. Oswald was arrested a few hours later, and was himself murdered the next day by Jack Ruby in the Dallas police garage.

The question isn't about whether he was a lone gunman or not, but whether he was but the trigger man in a broader conspiracy plot.

Why is this question still important 50+ years later? Well, considering the role of the FBI in creating the Russia-collusion hoax, their effort to shield the president's son, Hunter Biden, from investigation, and the way politicians try to weaponize the FBI, IRS, CIA and other agencies to serve the political interests of those in power rather than the people, I think it's a good time for the people to demand better honesty from their government.

I believe our government has already admitted that it lied to the Warren Commission on some points. Supposedly to avoid admitting that the Kennedy Administration had considered plans to assassinate Fidel Castro, and had possibly made attempts. But that doesn't address whether Oswald acted alone or not. He could have been part of a Mafia plan, or a Cuban plan, or a plan within our CIA or FBI. There were/are numerous investigations and researches to give credibility to all of the above.

So what do you believe?

I believe that it doesn't matter now. Everyone involved is dead.

@RedBaron It all matters. For how are we to learn and grow as a society if the truth of things can be lied about forever and hidden from our plain sight ?

Absconded and then hidden from us by those that would be our overlords and sometimes modern-day dictators ?

Deceptions taken in without question would soon become widespread belief capable of crippling our fine Republic.

Let us not follow the pathways of The Romans....
No matter how many simpletons wish to.

There is never any reclamation of the past.
Time and The World move ever onward.
They will drag us kicking and crying with or without The Truth imbibed upon us.

With truth we can shape the future.
Without it we are lost.

Publius Servilus Casca along with his puppet masters chose to sow seeds of hate and division as they saw the tide of The Common Man rise forth.

When that failed, they chose the knives of treachery.

I look upon the current political divide and see the same roles rolling across the stage of humanity. I see the newly formed knives still sheathed but worn openly. I see the end of this new Republic at hand if more people are made to fear a future that is not truth but just a lie they can't abide....

@HikingMan Because there's no way to prove anything after this much time. It's nothing more than mental masturbation now.

@RedBaron It's like a football team's post-game analysis after a loss. Since we live in a democracy we are all a part of the team. The benefit of the analysis is that it could turn a likely future loss into a win.

RedBaron · M

@Heartlander No it's not. The football team is made up of living people. Everyone connected with the JFK assassination is dead. Thus, there is no way to prove anything other than Oswald acting alone, so it just doesn't matter. There are no more facts forthcoming. But keep spinning your wheels. Whatever floats your boat.

I'm still alive. And whether dead or alive, we all have a stake in what happened there. It still matters.

Your conclusion is flawed. Lacking a definitive explanation of a conspiracy doesn't prove that he acted alone.

RedBaron · M

@Heartlander You are alive, but you weren't involved and know nothing about what happened, how, or why. Since there is no way to prove anything now, what you are doing amounts to mental masturbation.

Heartlander · 80-89, M

@RedBaron Naaaa ... it's still a cold case and the American people are the jury. There's benefit in continuing to filter through the evidence. What did we learn just over the past 10 years? That the government withheld evidence about plans to assassinate Castro. Where does the evidence point? that our government possibly conspired with gangsters, like they did in Iran-Contra.

RedBaron · M

@Heartlander And it always will be a cold case. No evidence exists anymore.

Heartlander · 80-89, M

@RedBaron :) I thought the same way for years and years. But then again, it's like closing the the final chapters of WW2 while there may still have been SS war criminals living carefree retirement in Argentina on pensions funded through Swiss bank accounts.

RedBaron · M

@Heartlander If so, then who is still alive from the assassination? Name one.

Heartlander · 80-89, M

@RedBaron

:) (pinching myself) Yep, I'm still alive. I'd just turned 21 when he was assassinated.

Now, 60 years later, with the benefit of 60 years of insights and life experiences, I'm saying "Hmmmmmmm??? there's a lot more to this than what I saw on the 5:30 news"

RedBaron · M

@Heartlander And no way to prove anything, which was my original point and why it doesn't matter.

Heartlander · 80-89, M

@RedBaron

:) I would take one or two of the "m"s out of that "Hmmmmmmm?" if Jeff Epstein hadn't committed "suicide".

In a world where we still don't really know what went on with Iran-Contra, or "Fast and Furious', or .... I think we still have to keep asking questions and hope.

RedBaron · M

@Heartlander Neither. It's my last name.
