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

133. Very few who lived through that day believe the official story.

It was a time in which the Red Scare was overwhelming common sense and decency. The Red Scare may have been justified by the horror that was going on in and around the Soviet Union and China, but it was way beyond reasonable.

Our intelligence agencies were very proactive around the world from Iran to Guatemala. The CIA had fought for the property rights of the United Fruit Company in Guatemala and it is believable that it might have wanted to avenge the disaster that was the Bay of Pigs. We will never know. There are maybe a dozen possible reasons for wishing to end the life of John F. Kennedy.

For Oswald, an alleged madman, to have obtained enough information about Kennedy's likely path through the city, to have obtained a gun, to have had some of the friends he had, to have lived in the Soviet Union, to have flown a U-2, etc. etc. and THEN to have been killed as he was by Jack Ruby? That story is worth of a dime novel. Sometimes the most incredible coincidences happen, but considering the politics and paranoia in some circles of the time, it does not seem likely to me that JFK was killed by a lone, insane assassin.

I've known a lot of pretty crazy people in my life. But if Oswald acted alone, he was not crazy. It took a lot of planning and a steady personality to do what he did. It was not the act of an impulsive person.

I don't know who did it or what happened, but I do not believe the official story.
