So who killed JFK?

[stumpjumper]

Seriously. Kinda.

I listened to an NPR episode a few weeks ago about US imperialism and the screw ups of the past.

The book was Legacy of Ashes: The History of The CIA.

It was an interesting and different perspective on people like JFK (the book is not overly kind to his legacy).

Link is here (http://www.whyy.org/rameta/RT/2007/RT20070731_20.ram) which was an interesting listen if I do say so myself.

Hi, btw.

[godfry n. glad]

Well, I can't use your link.

I would be interested in how they treated the Dulles brothers of the Eisenhower administration.

And to think I thought it was a top secret electronically guided MAGIC (Missile-launching Automatic Gun, Intelligent Control) "bullet" fired by a Cuban-Mafia CIA informant-hitman from the grassy knoll on orders from the Illuminati Bilderburger Masonic Knights Templar, who also framed Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald's killer, Jack Ruby, was just a closeted homosexual who loved JFK more than life itself.

I tried backing it up a bit.

That didn't work either.

Here's a c/p of what you should come up if your correctly figure out the link but I'm a dummy :D

I get that by going to the radio times archive at the bottom of the following linked page and typing in "Legacy of Ashes".

Dunno why the links don't work.

Nah...LBJ put out the hit.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

NO U!

[Caligulette]

Nah...LBJ put out the hit.

See, here's the thing- I used to make up conspiracy theories on long car trips and what I came up with is that the Johnson family has plotted to kill one president per century and become president thereby. Lincoln, Kennedy...Who knows who it will be in the 21st century?

And now the sad part....I once posted the above on an Indymedia site as an example of how totally unrelated facts are wound together to create conspiracy theories and how very easy it is. What happened next was a barrage of "Can you please provide links to original sources backing this up, as I would like to know more about it; you are definitely onto something here!! !" posts. :oyvey:

[BrotherMan]

Well, you as you know, the proven similarities are actually very eery!

:unnod:

;P

[Clutch Munny]

It was me!

There, I said it. Are you happy now? I just wanted to forget the whole thing and get on with my life, but noooooo. You bastards keep pushing, and pushing, always asking "Who killed JFK?" -- and always, in my experience, doing it where I'll hear it or read it. Well, fine. I've had enough of the embarrassed silence -- oh, as if none of you ever killed a sitting president, you hypocritical jerks -- so this time I'm just saying it. Social graces be damned, I'm saying it.

It was me. I did it.

Caligulette's Corollary: Never allow a Johnson to serve as Vice-president.

It doesn't surprise me a bit.

[viscousmemories]

Ah, I thought that cold chill I felt when visiting Dealy Plaza was very Clutchesque.

[BDS]

Thanks. Now, I have another job for you......

It sounds so dirty when you say it!

[Dingfod]

No Johnson, but a Dick is okay?

In which case, we've already failed this century.

[Ensign Steve]

No Johnson, but a Dick is okay?

:unnope:

[Dingfod]

Really. The two Dicks we've had in the past century were dicks.

[Artemis Entreri]

Screw JFK, Who killed JR?

[Doctor X]

I subscribe to the Vindaloo Seeker Theory is you ask me. . . .

--J. "Oswald was a Fag!" D.

[Qingdai]

Well, it wasn't me.
:shifty:

Old family joke, "Other than that, how did you like Dallas, Jackie?"
:rimshot:

[Doctor X]

To which the response is, "Jack gave me a piece of his mind."










Too soon?

--J. "Other Than That, Mrs. Lincoln, How was the Play?" D.

[Qingdai]

That's a really old joke.

J.F.K.’s Death, Re-Framed - New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/22/opinion/22holland.html?th&emc=th)

It's a little op-ed about how the Zapruder film doesn't actually cover all three shots fired at Kennedy. No huge revelation or anything, but an interesting piece to commemorate the 44th anniversary of the assassination.
