    LBJ had plenty of underhanded Democrat cronies in Tx. That gave him opportunity.

    Conspiracy theorists never comment on the fact that Oswald shot at some city councilman's house a week before the shooting. Was he put up to that?

    And who killed officer Tippett? Was he on Johnson's shit list too?

    Oswald wasn't a Texan. If LBJ wanted to kill Kennedy, he wouldn't have hired a fruit loop. LBJ was guilty of crony-ism. He still wasn't behind the JFK assassination.

    The fact that Oswald was a fruit made it easy for LBJ s cronies to manipulate him. Why do you think they killed him afterwards?

    Didn't happen. NOBODY would hire a fruitloop to assassinate a President. No one would trust him. He did it on his own for who knows what ideological reason.

    So you say, but still, motive and opportunity.

    The mob had motive and opportunity as did Castro as did the USSR. They ALL had more motive than LBJ. None of the above are going to use some kook from left field to do it.

    Castro didn't have opportunity, and the mob didn't kill him afterwards.

    I don't believe the reason was ideological. Oswald was a confused man who wanted to be more important than he was. Everything he did seemed to be aimed at making himself a figure people would notice. Sadly he succeeded. Infamy is the same as fame to that sort of mentality.

    That was my second best guess.

    What gets me, or irks me, is I'll be 56 next month. This crap's been going since I was 3. Every November like clockwork. One screwball took out JFK with a shot I could make by the time I was 10. The scientific evidence proves it.

    And I'm as paranoid as it gets. I just don't let it cloud reality.

    Some people have a greater predilection for believing some amorphous "they" are responsible for bad things. The NYT article is a good overview. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/26/ma...ries.html?_r=0 Why Rational People Buy Into Conspiracy Theories

    They found, perhaps surprisingly, that believers are more likely to be cynical about the world in general and politics in particular. Conspiracy theories also seem to be more compelling to those with low self-worth, especially with regard to their sense of agency in the world at large. Conspiracy theories appear to be a way of reacting to uncertainty and powerlessness.

    The brief quote above is a pretty good summary.

    Conspiracy theorists feel like they have information no one else has. Like they are part of an elite group. Only they understand how the world really works.

    I honestly believe that the people who can't accept the obvious buy in to conspiracy theories because they cannot accept that anything happens without a reason. Yet those same eggheads will buy the Big Bang Theory, a complete contradiction of scientific law -- something from nothing. Not to be crude, but sometimes, sh*t happens. There doesn't have to be some great big conspiracy behind each and every irrational act.

    IF there had been a conspiracy, someone would have sold out by now. There's no such thing as a secret unless only one person knows it. Of all the players in the game, which one is going to hire a goof like Oswald? When all the players in the conspiracy theories have access to better professional assassins?

    Black Diamond. I personally tend to like the"FLAT EARTHERS". Look at how OLD that conspiracy is, and they even condemn Christopher Columbus as one of the unfortunate side-effects they use to Disprove Historic facts.
