What Always Puzzled Me About The JFK Assination Is.......
how his family - starting with his brothers - Bobby & Teddy - then his wife Jackie and ultimately his children - John Jr & Caroline - have been so acceptant of the Lee Harvey Oswald official government story.

If I were a kid of JFK - I would have done everything in my power to find out the real truth. And if I did uncover the real story - I would have made sure that the perpetrators were outed and taked to justice.

If any of conspiracy theory's are in fact - fact - why didn't the family make it known?

Could it be that ugly that they feel that it is in the best interest of the country not to have the truth laid out?

As in, Democracy as we know it, would would cease to exist.
Perhaps it already has.

15. If Democracy as we know it
is hiding the truth, then it is not democracy!

If people in positions of power can expose a truth and fail to do so, they are not helping us.

I don't want or need to be saved from the truth! And it will not tear the country apart, the people being aided by hiding the truth, are tearing the country apart.

Maybe we are in the Matrix!

2. Jackie made a video
... that is not to be played until something like 50 years after her children's deaths, or something ... and remember, she married Ari Onasis and moved the hell out of the US because "they're killing Kennedys" ...

so she obviously had a clue ...

9. I don't recall, specifically ~
I believe it was mentioned in various media around the time of her death, and that it's at the JFK Library or the National Archives or some such ... not positive as I have seen and read as much as possible about the assassination over the years (Yep, I'm a :tinfoilhat: about it)

19. Thanks, but where did you hear read this?
Or is it just rumor/myth.

If it's true, and it's 29 more years to wait...I better start thinking more seriously about giving up smoking...... ;-)

4. To come out against the party line
might not appeal to a family who had already had two members murdered.

14. Nobody with a functioning brain can sincerely believe such a story
Edited on Fri Nov-25-05 12:38 PM by shance
or anyone who has done any small amount of investigation on the execution, which is what it was. An execution in broad daylight of one of, our greatest presidents.

It goes to show how much those in power, along with the CIA affects the message being sent out over our airwaves.

6. The Kennedys...
have always been aware of their enemies. And are willing to acknowledge their superiority.

16. I just read "A Farewell to Justice" by Joan Mellen. I think its
probably the most accurate and thoughtful (as in research)piece of writing on the assassination Ive ever read.

Part of it will break your heart as well.

It is a strong confirmation and affirmation of the Garrison investigation and trial of Clay Shaw. Mellen had actually met Garrison in 1969 and wanted to write a biography on him. She wound up becoming very dedicated to the case and the truth like Garrison himself, and it became an investigation that was then built on the foundation of what he had discovered.

What impresses me the most is the true care I believe Ms. Mellen takes in bringing out the facts, namely, and with essentially irrefutable evidence, that the CIA killed John F. Kennedy and they were the ones who implemented the plan and saw it through. In addition, those within the CIA did everything they could to destroy Jim Garrison essentially the rest of his life after he took Clay Shaw to trial and opened up the CIA connections to the JFK plot.

I think Kennedy truth seekers will consider this a must read.

17. The C.IA. and F.B.I. ...
on a directive from the Illuminati. C.I.A. and F.B.I. have always been fronts for the brotherhood.If Ms. Mellen doesn't mention them she is wrong or complicit.!

7. I noticed Daschel wasn't exactly eager to hunt down the Anthrax terrorist
either. When they start killing your family off one by one and/or threatening your own life and you realize you are helpless against them then usually you learn to keep your mouth shut.
