Mark Lane, JFK assassination expert, has died.

[Zen Democrat]

89. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I'm a realist and a student of history and our times.

To say Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, is not just wrong, but totally ignorant. You people who scoff are blind, know-nothings and snark doesn't work against the truth. Most importantly, people should understand that psychos like Alex Jones aren't part of the research community. There are idiots out there who use "conspiracy" to rile people up about whatever is their agenda. There are also people who have studied the Warren Report and the 26 volumes of background material and transcripts of testimony that the Report was based upon - and they don't match!

To wit, John Pic was Oswald's older half-brother from his mother's first marriage. When shown the picture of Lee Oswald at the Bronx Zoo when he was 13, at the time Oswald was actually living with Pic and his wife in NYC, Pic testified, "That's not my brother." The kid in the photo was NOT the Lee Oswald living in his home. Yet that picture remains as proof that Oswald was a truant and a problem child sent to a juvenile house. Multiply this incongruency by 10,000 and you'll have a rough idea of what a house of cards the whole assassination report is.

We know so much now. We know who DeMohrenschildt was. We know that all the Russians Oswald socialized with in Dallas, and DeMohrenschildt himself were strongly anti-Communist White Russians. We know that DeMohrenschildt was a good friend of George HW Bush. We know that DeMohrenschildt was Oswald's CIA handler in Dallas, before being handed off to Michael and Ruth Paine.

It's the story of the century, and it has never been solved. Nor property investigated. Oswald had NO nitrates from the paraffin test. He had NOT fired a rifle that day. It goes on and on and on.

Oswald was seen by co-workers on the first and second floors of the TSDB during the shooting. They gave testimony to the FBI but were not called to testify before the Commission. Multiply that by the many people who gave statements to the FBI that did not correspond to the spin of the Warren Commission.

LBJ told Cronkite that he didn't believe the single bullet theory.
Warren Commission member Dick Russell didn't believe the single bullet theory
Warren Commission member Hale Boggs didn't believe the single bullet theory
Warren Commission member John Sherman Cooper didn't believe the single bullet theory

So who were the ones who strong-armed the Commission?

Not Earl Warren, while he made the trip to Dallas to talk to Ruby, Warren attended very few meetings and had little input.

The Bad Guys were:

Allen Dulles, former Director of the CIA who was fired by Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
Gerald Ford, known as J. Edgar's man on the Committee.
John J. McCloy, a player for the ages
Arlen Spector, the man who created the convoluted and crazy single bullet theory
J. Lee Rankin, the legal counsel pushed through by Allen Dulles
David Belin, a sad little legal counselor for both the Warren Commission and the Rockefeller Commission (and we know how that report was clipped by George HW Bush, Director of the CIA, and Dick Cheney, Deputy Chief of Staff in the Ford White House at that time.

A study of the Kennedy Assassination is a study of foreign and domestic policy in the early 60's. It's not about creeps with radio shows such as the awful Alex Jones talking nonsense.
