(5,901 posts)And who was given money by the State Department to return to the US with a Russian wife after denouncing his citizenship in Moscow. Yeah, he must have been some "leftist" to have been hanging out with the White Russian anti-Communist community in Dallas and the anti-Castro brigades in New Orleans.
The magic bullet is a scam because there was more metal left in John Connolly's leg than was missing from the "somewhat flattened" bullet that was produced without a chain of custody.
The answer to the question "Who Started the Conspiracy Theories" the answer is simple. The Warren Commission. The testimonies and conclusions were so contradictory and bizarre that believing that thing is folly. According to information known now after the AARB findings, Sen. Russell, Sen. Cooper and Rep. Boggs didn't agree with the conclusion and believed someone else had to be involved. They were persuaded to sign the final report with the understanding, particularly on Sen. Russell's part, that their objections would be published in the volumes. It was years before the men knew that didn't happen. As Allen Dulles said, on record, about the obvious inconsistencies in the report, "Nobody reads anymore."
