The first black man to protect the president points out the holes in Kennedy's detail
http://www.bnd.com/yourlife/story/1026772.html

BY TERI MADDOX - News-Democrat

...Bolden maintains the arrest was a "set-up" resulting from his intent to testify before the Warren Commission after Kennedy's assassination and criticize the Secret Service for unprofessional behavior...

"One of the key witnesses admitted (in a subsequent counterfeiting trial) that he and another witness formulated this case against me with the help of the Secret Service," Bolden said in a recent interview from his Chicago home...

"My biggest disappointment was that the only racists (in Washington) I ran into were members within the Secret Service," Bolden reportedly told the agency's chief in an exit interview. "There were a couple of incidents where the word 'nigger' was used in my presence."...

"I think that Lee Harvey Oswald was indeed part of a conspiracy," Bolden said. "But he didn't know it. He had no idea there were going to be other people shooting. I think it surprised him that other shots were fired (from the grassy knoll)."...

3. Abraham Bolden got prosecuted for his troubles...
Filed under - 'Let no good deed go unpunished'

YouTube - JFK SECRET SERVICE

Of course nobody was punished for allowing Kennedy to get shot that day. Abraham Bolden was prosecuted later on trumped up charges for attempting to warn his bosses of the impending assassination plot.

Just as, more than likely, nobody will be held accountable for the latest Secret Service SNAFU:

2. This guy's story is told in James Douglass' great book, "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and
Why It Matters" (published last year by the Maryknoll Fathers). It is just one piece (the Secret Service standdown) of the complex jigsaw puzzle that Douglass masterfully assembles into the most complete picture we have of what happened, who did it and why--and furthermore what it means NOW, to our country, after four decades of burying our heads in the sand and suffering from "denial" about what occurred that day and what we have become as a result: an aggressive, militaristic, delusional country, and the gravest of threats to world peace.

It is the most compelling book I have ever read.

4. So according to this guy
Oswald was both shooter AND patsy.

He was part of a conspiracy to shoot the president, and he was unknowingly being set up by that conspiracy to take the fall. And he would have to be eliminated because he could expose the conspirators. And then the Warren Commission covered it up.

The patsy part works out fine, but there is still no evidence to put a gun in Oswald's hands that day.

5. The mafia orders CIA to stand down. Hmm.
I don't think so. More like the CIA orders the mafia to shoot.
