Oswald was arrested in New Orleans in the summer of 1963 during what likely was a staged confrontation with anti-Castro activist Bringeur.

The cop was very perceptive.

I read few times that the Dalls cop who arrested Oswald for street-fighting w/anti-Castro Cuban Carlos Brigeur (or a simiar spelling) put in his arrest report the fight seemed phony & he suspected it was staged. It’s supposed to be in the WR but I can’t find it. Anyone know anything about it?

The fact of the matter is, that after 45 years, not one piece of “evidence” is indisputable. How many murder cases do you know where nothing is indisputable- much less the murder of a US President? The Warren Commission purposely ignored anyone’s testimony that didn’t collaborate the “official” predetermined lone nut explanation. Look it up. So to say that no one talked is absurd. Also, how do any of you explain that EVERY doctor that saw JFK testified that he had a large wound in the BACK of his head? They must have all been quacks, huh? Ask yourself this one as well…how come Jack Ruby- a well known STRIP CLUB owner w/police connections isn’t referred to in that way in the WC? He is mentioned as a “night club owner” and they found NO evidence of him being a mobster (which has since been shown that he was). The list goes on and on and on. LHO may have been involved, but he was where he said he was that day- on the 2nd floor lunchroom w/a coke in hand (he told this to the Dallas police chief). The HSCA proved that there was a 2nd gunman on the knoll. So what is the big question about a conspiracy? It’s been proven already. What we don’t know is all of the specifics and exactly why. People in a position of power can conceal that in the USA you know? Just like in any country in the world. Wake up people!!!

Any possible connections between Jack Ruby and the State Line Mob? (made famous by Buford Pussar)

MichaelH,

“The Mob” is one of the so-called false sponsors of the JFK conspiracy.

For the sake of clarity let’s focus on the early 1960s: During that period the connective tissue linking elements of organized crime, big business, big oil, the militant far right and anti-Castro Cubans, and civilian and military intelligence assets was so thick and so richly engorged by shared interests and profits that to attempt to compartmentalize these forces within this investigatory context is to cite distinctions without a meaningful differences.

The mob benefited from the assassination. And the true sponsors benefited from the scapegoating of Messrs. Giancana, Marcello, Trafficante, et al in the roles of the plot’s prime movers.

(Other false sponsors: LBJ, JEH, the Soviets, the Cubans, H.L. and E.H. Hunt and companies, the JCS, CIA, etc.)

As for the LHO-as-crazed-assassin canard: From day one to the present, pseudo-psychoanalyses of the official assassination patsy (all based on false premises, and thus sophistic) have been offered to deflect attention from valid evidence proving conspiracy and to placate many in the academic/intellectual classes by appealing to their own cognitive infirmities and vaulting egos.

Lee Harvey Oswald’s mental state — whatever it was on 11/22/63 — has ZERO IMPACT on the evidence that proves multiple shooters/killers acted in Dealey Plaza and eliminates LHO as a suspect in both the Kennedy and Tippett slayings.

When a person says that somebody has slipped into their apartment and changed a bookmark in a book, I don’t consider that I can prove it didn’t happen but might consider that their aren’t unusual circumstances in their life that make that a reasonable possibility. That isn’t a psychoanalysis; I’m not considering why they might be making a false assertion which would be psychoanalysis. People don’t decide likelihood of truth on the basis of the logical consistency of a story. There is nothing logically impossible in the vignette I offered. A psychiatrist does however get used to looking for hypotheses that contain an absurd assumption. I am merely offering what to me is a hypothetically ‘absurd’ assumption in the mob theory. People also decide what is worth learning about and what they might stay pragmatically ignorant about. The truth likelihood based on this initial consideration gets the ‘mob theory’ in the category of something I might preserve my present state of ignorance about.

Don’t you just love the psychiatrists who “disprove” conspiracy in the JFK assassination by psycho-analyzing Oswald and/or “conspiracists?”

None of that pesky eyewitness, earwitness, medical, or ballistic evidence — for starters — matters.

LHO was nuts!

“Conspiracists” are emotionally incapable of accepting that a “nobody” killed a “somebody!”

Physician, heal thyself.

For “Rex” –

Only in contemporary America can one be taken to task for thinking, researching, drawing informed conclusions, and sharing the results of one’s academic rigor.

Only in contemporary America can a probable purjurer (he almost certainly lied under oath to a committee of Congress about his research) and dishonest academic (he wilfully misrepresented the context of the “scientific” testing of the SBT in “Case Closed”) the likes of Posner be celebrated and looked to as a champion.

A champion of deceit.

Either attempt to refute Professor Evica and support Posner by presentation of fact, or be blissful in the ignorance that prompts you to protest too little.

Why would the mob choose a hit man who had a significant likelihood of being outed, and a disaster for the mob, even before an assassination took place? An FBI man in Dallas was contacted by phone or written message prior to the assassination by Lee Oswald. The FBI had been to see Marina looking for Lee because Lee had become a Soviet citizen for a time. This FBI fellow didn’t f/u on Lee’s rantings but it seemed to me when I heard them that he was tone deaf not to have done so. Subsequently this agent was transfered to the FBI office in Oklahoma, probably not a plum posting, where he ended his career. If this FBI officer had been better at his job, he might have prevented the assassination and moreover, have rolled up a Mob operation while revealing it if that had been going on. The MO for the mob doesn’t seem to be to take cute risks.

There’s another memorable phrase that could applied here- methinks thou doth protest too much.

The last line of Gerald Posner’s Case Closed sums it up best:

“Lee Harvey Oswald, driven by his own twisted and impenetrable furies, was the only assassin at Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. To say otherwise, in light of the overwhelming evidence, is to absolve a man with blood on his hands, and mock the President he killed.”
