4. Don't disregard
You had it right before you editied your post. The poll offers no option for Oswald alone that doesn't also include the unacceptable vote for "the government never lies to us." You were right in observing the lack of at least one valid selection.

7. Oswald alone was more or less the conclusion of the Warren Comission yes?
I stand by my original post but having two such choices would have degraded the value of the poll.

9. Uhhh
Edited on Sat Nov-22-03 11:22 PM by HFishbine
Yes, but that choice is loaded by insisting that people who select it also agree that the government never lies to us.

11. Good point, I agree
Edited on Sat Nov-22-03 11:30 PM by wuushew
Also I haven't voted yet so if the original author is so inclined he may still change the poll.

Done.
But I do believe accepting the ludicrous notion of a single gunman implies an undue trust in government and/or corporate media.

16. Your Bias still prevails
"The Warren Commission nailed it" is not a theory of who killed JFK.

Some people recognize that the Warren Commission made mistakes, excluded some avenues of inquiry, and had some information witheld from them. Yet, we've examined evidence beyond the WC and still come to the conclusion that it was simply Oswald's doing.

You insist on making the choice about the competency or honesty of the government. Why not simply offer the choice "Oswald did it of his own volition?"

6. What Terwilliger said.
Oswald didn't cover the fucking thing up for 40 years today, either.

15. What Octafish said.
The cover-up - the destruction, tampering with and falsification of evidence, the silencing of witnesses - even without looking at the case itself, the cover-up alone proves conspiracy.

The CIA already had contractual relationships with the Mafia and the Cubans, and by 1963 all three had powerful hate-ons for JFK. It's not an either/or whodidit, and neither is their working together fanciful conjecture.

8. Oswald did it alone
But the Warren Report was hardly perfect. The government lies to us all the time.

12. Milit/Industrial
And take a look at slo-mo footage of the Zapruder film...watch the driver. He does turn around, and it does look a lot like there might be someting in his hand.

The CIA had/has a CO2-fired, explosive projectile, pistol. It's a coup-de-grace weapon, meant for close use, fatal head shot.

Not saying the forward right source of shot isn't from elsewhere, but it does warrant scrutiny, not to mention why a trained SS driver would slow down and turn around during a crisis instead of gunning it and getting the President to safety.

14. Freaking Aliens...
The wanted the Cold War to explode to degenerate our earth to the point where they could harmlessly colonize it. Once they saw JFK with his whacky ideas about peace on earth, now and in the future, they fired a beam at his head (from space, mind you) which exploded from within his head, causing several exit wounds. They warped an unwitting Oswald into a room in a nearby building... then visited one Jack Ruby for a 'reeducation consultation'.

I chose the M/I option...freaking aliens.

17. Bill Clinton did it
He knew as a youngster in Arkansas, that President Kennedy had to go so he'd himself get a chance at the White House, and the rights to BAD SEX WITH INTERNS.

Just the first corpse in Clinton's long trail of the dead.

And you thought only left-wingers believed in lunatic conspiracy theories....

18. Rouge and ex CIA following underlying beliefs.
An unfortunate combination of groups united under Aryanism for "good" CIA men, the money of escalating war for Military Corporate Industrial Complex who would gladly agree with White Supremecy if it helped their own bottom line, and the mafia who'd fake any belief could be hired for free in order to get rid of Bobby.

Ex-CIA can flash badges they make themselves and local police are too impressed, and may not even mention seeing since it's a secret. They could manipulate the Secret Service. Just a couple of well-placed guys inside with a few well-funded people outside with fake badges.

Oswald being alone or not would make no difference. The CIA operatives may have done the shooting themselves, from the book depository.

I can see how LBJ may have wanted a cover-up to stop WWIII from starting in consideration of Oswald's suspicious trips to Russia. I think he cannot be ruled out, but, I just don't think so. He just got lucky. He wouldn't have won enough power or money to make it worthwhile.

I can see how Oswald could have done it alone, brought a gun, hoping the car would be in sight. But, to do it on principle and then claim patsy status makes no sense. He'd do it to be a hero. If he did it for money he'd be more professional and would have left the building faster with an escape route, not ending at a movie.

CIA.
