General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: One last JFK poll just to prove or disprove a theory I have. [View all]northoftheborder
(7,610 posts)....and elaborated on in television special coverage about the "miracle bullet" have proved to my mind to be plausible proof of that first shot's aim by Oswald. And the second shot, has been proved to my mind to be coming from Oswald's position in the rear hitting JFK in the back of his head and effectively killing him.
HOWEVER, other questions about other shots, other shooters, the killing of Oswald, RFK, and MLK, the fact that much data is still being held, the fact that Kathleen Kennedy Townsend has some doubts, John Kerry also, RFK expressed doubts before he was murdered, and others who are respected public figures keep a puzzling questioning instilled in my mind.
This one instance remains outstanding in my memory:
Years ago, there was a panel discussing the assassination, including Ben Bradley, ex editor of the Washington Post. I don't remember anyone else who was on the panel - various people prominent in public life, and alive back in the sixties. I can't remember the context or all of this statement by Bradley, but "if all the truth were known about Kennedy's death, it would destroy the country" or words to that effect. It was kind of a throwaway line, not questioned, not followed up with more explanation, the discussion went on just as he had not said that, but it indicated TO ME that he did know SOMETHING.
A lot of the stuff that's been published I think is bunk, much of it disproved. But I STILL have doubts of suspicion. And someone (or more) who knows the truth is still alive. That's all I have to say.
