27. Booth? How come the Government hung several people as...
...co-conspirators? Did you know that those co-conspirators were tried while chained with heavy bags over their heads? Why weren't they allowed to speak in their own defense? What was the Government afraid of hearing?

Did you know that the Bush and Hinckley families go way back? John Hinckley, Sr., gave money to Poppy Bush, a fellow Texas oilman, as far back as 1970. The senior Hinckley also raised funds for Bush's unsuccessful campaign to wrest the nomination from Reagan. Furthermore, he and Scott Hinckley separately contributed to John Connally in late 1979 when Connally (having recently switched to the GOP) was leading the campaign to stop Reagan from gaining the 1980 presidential nomination. The Bush and Hinckley families would have done better under a Bush presidency than it would under Reagan.
Did you also know that Neil Bush was about to have lunch with Scott Hinckley, brother of John Hinkley, the day that John tried to kill Reagan?

Now, let's move on to Oswald. Oswald couldn't have hit the broad side of a barn with the rifle that allegedly belonged to him. Even the FBI weapons experts would not test-fire the Mannlicher-Carcano until repairs had been made to the rifle to correct:

1) a sticking bolt mechanism that slowed down the operation of the rifle between shots;

2) a trigger that exhibited a normal pull until just before the weapon was to be fired when it went into a hair-trigger mode;

3) the scope which was loose and had to have a shim added before it could be properly aligned on a target.

Additionally, it has only been in recent years that someone proposed that the first shot was actually fired BEFORE JFK's limo went behind the tree the blocked it from the 6th floor corner window of the TSBD. That little theory gave the Warren Commission apologists the extra time they needed to explain how LHO suposedly fired three shots from that wreck of a rifle. But nobody has bothered to explain the angle at which that bullet would have arrived.

And what of the damage to the limo itself? In photos taken of JFK's limo back in the Secret Service garage, it had a small through-and-through hole in the windshield, and a circular dent in the frame above the window. The hole in the windshield could have been caused by a fragment from JFK's headshot. But what about the dent in the frame...where did that shot come from? And why was LBJ in such hurry to get the limo shipped back to the manufacturer that DAY AFTER THE ASSASSINATON? Why was it hosed out and cleaned up before any evidence was collected?

And what of all of the ear- and eyewitnesses who testified that they heard shots being fired from behind the fence on the Grassy Knoll?

How is it that so many people were in Dallas that day that had a vested interest in the killing of JFK? J. Edgar Hoover, Poppy Bush, Nixon, E. Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis, and others were there. Why?

You know, when assassinations take place in other countries the first question raised has to do with how many people were involved. In this country, we're expected to believe the "lone nut gunman" theory because the U.S. Government tells us it's true. Tell me why any of us should ever trust what the government tells us without double-checking.
