I used to think that the JFK assassination was one of the most blatant conspiracies ever. The problem was that I wasn't around in that era, so the only real thing I had to base my opinion on was Oliver Stones opinion. And that is the biggest fallacy in the opinion on the JFK assassination with our generation.
There are two sides to every story, and Oliver Stone COMPLETELY ignored the other side in his movie. Not to say that was a bad thing, he did it from Jim Garrisons perspective, but he basically laid everything that pointed towards a conspiracy out in the movie, and left everything that pointed towards a one man operation out.
I will admit, there are some very loose ends in this whole thing, but an investigation as big as this one is never an open and shut case. The caravan was never supposed to go down Elm Street, as the crowd can be seen running from the middle street to Elm in one video. Before they made the right turn that faced the book depository, the guards on the running boards of the presidents car were told to get off and get on the trailing car; in another video, one of the guards can be seen waving his hands like "wtf are we moving for?" Then we have Clay Shaw, Jack Ruby's mob ties, the list goes on. One of the more damning is the "back and to the left," and even though it would have been easier to do that with a bullet from the front, to "the left" would have been feasible with a shot fired from the book depository, the "back" would have been slightly harder, but I don't think impossible. Also, if he had been the lone shooter, why didn't he shoot him when the car was coming towards the book depository? It would have been a one shot deal.
The fact is that LHO wanted to be the center of attention and loved Marxism and communism. Kennedy was trying to get rid of someon LHO looked up to; Fidel Castro.
The guy was an idiot who wanted attention, and he got it. He wanted to attack capitalism in a capitalistic land. That was not possible. He couldn't get into Cuba or back to Russia, communistic countries... Personally, I think that it is more likely that he did it mostly if not entirely by himself.
That said, I feel very strongly that our government does a lot of scandalous s h i t. I'm always interested to listen to conspiracy theorists. Something does need to be done to keep the governments power in check by the people, or else, eventually we will have to do what our constitution tells us to do. When the old way isn't working anymore, tear it down and start over. It may be more of a real possibility than you or I can imagine, but if it is going to happen, it will have to be a coup by the people. The government sure as hell is not going to do it.
