No there wasn't.
Oswald acted alone. He shot the president and then killed a Dallas police officer before getting caught.
That is the whole story, carry on!

How do we know for sure?
"As for Oswald, I don't know if he was a hero in all this or not."

The poster has NO credibility re JFK based on that alone.
I was old enough to remember the Clay Shaw debacle. He was totally innocent of any wrongdoing.

Do you think literally thousands of people were LYING about that?

(111,076 posts)I have heard varying reports. Believe what you want to believe. A lot of people do not agree with your certitude.

(8,146 posts)Lee joined Marines when he 17, and watching him after he caught, it obvious he wasn't too worried as he knew he was a US GOVERNMENT AGENT! Dulles and Hoover etc 'threw him under bus' i guess. His estate 'retired' in 2004, when agent Oswald would have been 65 years old. That's the reason Agent Oswald's income tax records are secret for another 100 years, i heard... Btw, there are literally trillions of $$$ hanging on these so called conspiracies. For example, if City of Berlin was 300 miles inside East Germany in April '45 (Germany UC surrenders) then where on earth did 'West' Berlin come from? Answer: the USSR wanted to be part of Marshal Plan rebuilding of war damaged Europe, so Stalin cooperated with rightwing west (Britain, USE, Canada, France, Holland, 'West' Germany etc). Remember, the 'Berlin wall' was only put up in 1961, 16 years after WW2 ended. Until 1961 (when JFK was President) Germany was occupied by 4 allied powers, working in conjunction. The USSR was only one of the 4, (Britain, USE, france) and poor Soviet Union had lost 20 milliion people, and 1/3rd of its economy in the nazi WW2 holocaust. it's on the record that West Germany (the relatively undamaged and richest half of the country) paid the USSR only $6.5 billion for reparations. Israel, which never even existed in 1945, still got $18 billion! See 'Myth of the Good War' by Belgium historian Jacque Pauvels, for details. Somehow, it seems unfair that the Workers (Soviet) Union suffered so much but was left outta the Marshal Plan. And indeed 'cold war' (cute) etc forced USSR into an 'Arms' and Space race with fabulously wealthy capitalist USA and so on! If the 'Iron Curtain' only got built in 1961, then what was going on during the 16 years before the Berlin Wall was built? Klaus Fuchs, the british atomic spy, made sure USSR had a working nuke by 1947- otherwise 'Bababoom!" lol. Look in any dictionary, and you see that the countries "east' and 'west' Germany only came into existence in 1970! That was full 25 years AFTER war ended! Before that, we were still allies with Russia, and as Uncle Joe died in 1954, (7 years befor any wall) we can't blame HIM! The world is in big trouble, i think, and burying the truth is NOT GOING to help us out of the trouble. Fascism (capitalism) is good for another generation at most, then the environmental disaster really begins unfolding. For example, there is so many billion tonnes moisture/water in the earth biosphere/atmosphere, and it's been dropping BIG TIME for 2 generation now; some day we might literally FLARE OFF the earth's fresh air! OMG! The sky aint falling, it's BURNING UP! lol! Someone once said in a handmade sign 'get a brain, morans' and i think that's darn good advice!

(8,146 posts)i'm old and in the way. I think we boomer generation didn't do the job, hell the JFK/RFK things just pointed out that progress wasn't going to be easy. Truly, i don't matter, my opinions don't matter, and ...i wish the rightwing fascists would realize they lose by winning. Louis Lapham said, 30 years ago, that there wasn't a Left to be found anywhere in the US! fricking Palin and the rightwingers are like the mouse stuck in a glue trap. They need the leftwing more then anyone needs them...
