Who helped Oswald?

Did he have some communist buddies? or did he act alone?
It appears to me the last shot hit the president from the front right. He
was already slumped from being hit and the last shot pushed him back.
Why did our investigations stop with Oswald when witnesses at the scene
reported shots fired from the "grassy knoll" or bridge area.

The Millitary Industrial Complex.

JFK had second thoughts about Vietnam.
They stood to make billions off of that war.
He had to go.

Johnson complied because he was either intimidated or paid off.

What an absolute shame.

Dave,
Hmm?????????
This is before I was even born, but not by much. I have heard many things on both side of the aisle about Johnson.
One theory heard was that Johnson actually was a part of it, not just paid off, but actually involved in the whole scheme. He was the one who wnated to escallate the war.

On the other side, I had a humanities professor in college who adored him. THought his "great society" was the best thing that ever happened. Told us that many of his writings showed he was a good and compassionate man. He hated the war.

How does a person know what to believe?

Even if he was a "good, compassionate man", sometimes the best of us will do some horrendously uncharacteristic things, when there's a gun to his head.

We'll never really know. Most, if not all of the major players are gone.

I think JFK had a hit out on Castro, and Castro got him first.

Sometimes things are as they appear. I think once the personalities of Oswald and Ruby are explored it is easy to dismiss all the conspiracy theories.

I dont know anything about Ruby but Oswald had serious issues. I really dont
think the U.S. had anything to do with it but someone else was in on it.
You can watch the video on youtube and clearly the final shot came from
the front or did it?

Thing about the whole JFK business its just like UFOs-LOTS & LOTS of smoke, all kinds of theories, but in nearly 50 years now, NOBODY'S ever come forward & "Spilled the Beans". Oswald was the perfect guy to have done it-Shady character, shady/obscure background, "Maybe he did/maybe he didn't" connections w/almost everybody else involved in it...Who knows ?
