51 years ago President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Case not closed at all.

55. Stone actually synthesizes 2-3 mainstream CTs, drawing salient points

from each. At its heart, though, it's based on the fallacious notion that JFK planned to withdraw all U.S. forces from Vietnam after his re-election, that somehow the Pentagon and CIA got wind of his plans and decided to take JFK out so they could "have their war."

The reality is that JFK had made no such decision and, in fact, was trying to keep his options open on Vietnam until after the 1964 election. True, he might have concluded that Vietnam was a lost cause after the 1964 election and pulled all advisors out. But he might equally have bought the line adopted by his successor LBJ that only a conventional land invasion and occupation could save Vietnam from being the first domino in the string of dominos to fall.

Remenber Western Union? Before it became a money-laundering venture, WU paralleled telephones with its telegraph service. The telegraph suffered no such jam-ups on Nov. 22, 1963, a surefire sign of a critical oversight among the putative conspirators!
