    Oswald the patsy
    Expert navy SEAL marksman Jessie Ventura tried and couldn’t make that shot. You have been taking in by a lie.

    have you ever looked into the case
    Can I suggest listening to the death bed confession by E Howard Hunt CIA.
    One thing you have to understand is when something of this calibre goes down in America there is always a fall guy. There is no way Oswald pulled this off on his own there are vids showing secret service standing down as the car turned left onto elm st there are arguments between them as to why this order was giving it’s all there in black and white video for the world to see.

    Yes, I have looked in to the case many times, I don’t disagree with you about planned government plot to kill him (I’m sure you have seen “the wink” picture etc) however I wouldn’t believe a word of Hunt’s confession, I believe he was just leaving this story so his son could cash in on it.
