What about Hannibal Lecter? Yeah, yeah. I know. A fictional character. But if he were real, he'd have revealed his true vocation as that as a member of the 4th Estate.

Genghis Khan? A wanna be journalist.

Pol Pot? You just know he'd love a crack at being a state political reporter!

Hang 'em all, eh Fred?

This video (also shown on fox special) about the killing, seems to show there was a hell of a lot more going on just before the shots were fired. I thought it was just a lone gunman as well until I seen this one.

Conspiracy theories are wonderful. The FBI were no friends of the Kennedys and Mafia money and influence, thanks to Poppa Joe Kennedy, helped get JFK elected. Then they repaid them by cracking down on the Mafia. It would not surprise me if both groups were involved, Certainly more than one gunman.

It was nothing less than a coup d'état.
The 'Mob' would have been used so that nobody would talk, and that the real organisers were kept at arms length.

This would have been planned at the highest level of the defense and private enterprise...the ones who benefit from war.

Kennedy signed his own death warrant - using his pen actually - when he effectively diminished wartime power from the defense department. And later when he refused to commit to an Indochinese war...big business can't tolerate that.

There's a coup happening in the US right now; it's just disguised differently.

+1. CIA job guys. Not the first time that the CIA has done waterworks on a political level, and won't be the last.

In my opinion the events of the Kennedy killing esp what transpired afterwards were so extrordinary that one has to question the official line of what happened. But what was the motive of those you say were the "real perpetrators. Kennedy wouldnt have been the first president to P%#S off the CIA, FBI or military industrial complex. Presidents are forever making decisions that seriously effect the profitiability of some companies over the next and the power of the CIA/FBI and other Govt agency. What did he do or was about to do that would have made somne people take the exraordinary risk of assassinating a president. I think that untill someone comes up with something solid like that it will forever be just wild speculation

Claude - with all due respect - it's not a risk if you can rig the system so you will NEVER be caught. Lee Harvey Oswald was the unwitting fall guy in it all. And he was deliberately murdered by Jack Ruby, who died not that long after it all. CIA/NSA and FBI were all involved, this order all came down from the top knobs at the DOD.

It has been quite a few years since I've seen it, but I was quite impressed with it at the time.

But David, there is always that risk. One can never confidently eliminate the risk of being caught esp if your target is the most high profile in the world (the president of the US). So why would one take such an extraordinary risk. Only if the consequences of not taking that risk were as or more extraordinary. That is, the stakes have to be so high that makes it worthwhile. But we dont really have any evidence of anyone whose back was pushed so far back against the wall that they would be motivated to do such a thing. Don't get me wrong. That could still have been the case but as far as I can see at the moment we really dont have anything credible to hang our hat on as far as that goes.

Wasn't it Jackie K? (So she could become Jackie O.)

The other conspiracy theory I favour is that Jack K. arranged to make it look like an assassination so he could get away from the missus and shack up full time with Marilyn (who also faked her death). Presently they are both living as an elderly couple in Cuba. (That's why they had to fake the missile crisis...) See, it all makes perfect sense.
