Pro Vietnam war advocates or globalization advocates ( aka 1% ) as the real sponsor.

Great post David.

Yes i see what went on at Bethesda as one of the greatest pieces of evidence in this case. Especially Robinson and Reed witnessing Humes altering the head wounds.

I can't come up with any reasoning for that taking place unless there was a conspiracy in which the military was deeply involved.

The idea that many military people go on to be 1 percenters is brand new to me and very interesting. It really opens up a whole new world of possibilities in terms of understanding both groups.

Steve - the cover-up, in essence the ability to insure no one other than Oswald is named kicks into action when the White House tells DA Alexander to back-off on the conspiracy talk.... the bigger picture was indeed Vietnam (the MICC) and the drug business... once the decision was made not to bother with Cuba, I think the military got their commie war in SE Asia.... and the rest is history.

On Dec 12, the leads and evidence Hoover had led him to conclude (and put on paper) his feelings about the killing...


"Mr. Rankin of the difficulty about the Department's desire to issue certain conclusions; that they wanted to issue a statement before the report went to the Commission with the conclusion Oswald was the assassin, no foreign or subversive elements involved, and Rubenstein and Oswald had no connection; that I flatly disagreed; they took it up with the White House and the President agreed with me that we should reach no conclusion; nevertheless the report does reach two conclusions in substance*.

FBI Report 12/9/64 - three days prior to the Hoover memo.

*Investigationhas (1) developed detailed background information concerning
Oswaldfrom his birth to his death; (2) strengthened the evidence that
Oswaldwas the assassin of the President although no clear-cut motive has
beenestablished; and (3) despite numerous allegations which have been
investigated,developed no sound evidence indicating that he received any
financialassistance or that any other person, group, or foreign government
inspiredor directed the assassination or was cognizant of his plan to
assassinatePresident Kennedy. On the contrary, the data developed strongly
indicatesthat he acted on his own initiative or impulse with little
advanceplanning. Also, investigation has disclosed no evidence that
Oswald,while residing in Russia, was recruited by the Soviet intelligence
servicesor received any assignment or training from the intelligence
services.Further, investigation has developed no proof of any prior
contactor association between Oswald and his murderer, Jack Leon Ruby.

Leadsare still being covered, and the FBI will continue to check out any
additionalallegations or information which come to its attention.


I said I personally believe Oswald was the assassin; that the second aspect as to whether he was the only man gives me great concern; that we have several letters, not in the report because we were not able to prove it, written to him from Cuba referring to the job he was going to do, his good marksmanship, and stating when it was all over he would be brought back to Cuba and presented to the chief; but we do not know if the chief was Castro and cannot make an investigation because wehave no intelligence operation in Cuba; that I did not put this into the report because we did not have proof of it and didn't want to put speculation in the report; that this was the reason I urged strongly that we not reach conclusion Oswald was the only man.
