    I don't know who it was, maybe none of these, but if you think he acted alone, you have your head in the sand.

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    If you mean, by acting alone, that he came up with the idea and did it of his own volition, then perhaps, but he was the only shooter. He was a marine, and any green recruit fresh out of boot camp could have pulled off that shot, not to mention that he had plenty of time to squeeze off three shots from a bolt action.

    All the above EXCEPT Oswald.

    Oh, and I've never bought into the single shooter theory either.

    The fatal shot actually came from the front of the motorcade NOT the rear.

    The MAGIC bullet theory is just so much government BULL SHIT!

    The motorcycle cops ran TOWARD the grassy knoll, cause that's the DIRECTION the shots came from.

    I could go on, but I think you know where I stand.

    You may be right about him being the only shooter. If so, he was better than good. From 1958-1962 I was about the 3rd best shooter in the U.S.M.C. with the M-1 and that was a semi-auto. I can say for sure I couldn't have made those 3 shots. I sure wish he would have taken a different route in life and used his shooting skills in other ways. There is none better in this old world.

    I think there is a good reason to suspect Johnson. Kennedy was losing the election. If he loses Johnson never gets his chance to run again...

    Johnson can't run for President, if the President he's serving as Vice-President for, loses the upcoming election?

    That's weird!

    Eh, so maybe I was wrong about the distance. He did get sharpshooter on his rifle qualification. As far as bolt action rifles, I've used a KAR98, which has a similar action to the one Oswald used. In the 8 seconds he had, it's technically possible to get off 4 shots, and more than enough time to get off 3 if you aim.

    The fatal shot actually came from the front of the motorcade NOT the rear.
    I suppose you're referring to the fact that Kennedy's head went backward when he was hit? It's called the 'jet effect.' The bullet's energy on a rifle like that isn't dispersed on the person's head. It punches a small hole in the skull and the brain is soft. However, when the bullet comes out the other side, it carries a lot of brain with it, causing an effect similar to a jet engine. You can see this in action on this video, from Penn & Teller's show "Bullshit!". The plastic wrapped around the melon is to simulate the skull, and was specificaly designed to offer the same resistance.

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1J3-QxFBQA[/YOUTUBE]

    Notice how the melon moves towards the direction the shot was fired from, not away.

    My suspects:

    1. The mafia, JFK and his brother Bobby the Attorney General had begun cracking down on them, don’t forget Bobby was also assassinated in 68 (was it?).
    2. The Mob, daddy had lots of connections from the illegal liqueur days, some say the Mob is what got John elected.
    3. Cuba (maybe) which had connections with the Mob.
    4. The USSR which had connections to Cuba and had just endured a blockade of their child Cuba by JFK.
    5. LHO had connections to the USSR.
    6. The Mob again, Jack Rudy had some connections to them.

    As far as one shooter..I too was a competitive shooter similar to Merlin, but as a civilian.
    No way I could have squeezed off 3 shots accurately in that time frame from a bolt action rifle..

    I don’t think LBJ had a thing to do with it. Nor do I buy that it was LHO all alone.

    PS..where is Jimmy Hoffa?

    Some also think the MIC had something to do with it because Kennedy was against war. Or the Klan because he was so pro-civil rights.

    Either way he was a targeted man.

    I don't know about the Marines but the army has three catagories of shooter.

    Marksman (barely qualifies)

    Sharpshooter (good)

    Expert ( can hit just about anything)

    I think there were two shooters and oswald was one and was set up as the patsy. I'm inclined to go with the mafia theory myself.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
