I always come back to the account of the late Ed Hoffman, a deaf-mute who, years later, came forward with his INCREDIBLY detailed account of CLEARLY seeing two men working together, one with a rifle, shoot at Kennedy from behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll, as he (Hoffman) stood on the freeway overpass a distance away, watching the events as they unfolded below him. A discussion of the veracity of his account can be found here: mcadams.posc.mu.edu/hoffman.htmIf you research his background (or simply read the book, "Beyond The Fence Line: The Eyewitness Account of Ed Hoffman and the Murder of President Kennedy" by Casey J. Quinlan and Brian K. Edwards), you quickly realize that he had absolutely NOTHING to gain (in fact, had a lot to lose) by coming forward with his story, when he did (even learning the details about how happenstance ended up putting him on that overpass that day, at just the right moment, actually lends a fascinating credence to his story). Could he have been lying? Of course.........just as anybody else who ever gave an account regarding the murder of the President that day. But why would he? His life before, and after, was never considerably altered in any significant way by relating what he saw, so why, out of the clear blue, would he have just decided to completely fabricate that particular story? I believe him, but not having been there myself, can never possibly know for sure..... SAVE FERRIS

I think he shot JFK alone, but a political machine set him up. Something like this. He served as a useful idiot for something bigger than him.

So did James Earl Ray, but that still doesn't put the gun in his hands either, it just makes both of them a convenient scapegoat to heap all the blame on after the fact, and they're both in it just enough they can't get out.

It's so hard to say. The whole thing is just so strange and shrouded in mystery.
JFK was historically tough on the mob. Jack Ruby was connected to the local mafia, so some believe that the local crime bosses wanted Oswald dead before he could be linked to them. Ruby was their fall guy.
JFK was also not part of the so-called "establishment". He seemed to go against everything the main majority of politicians wanted in the inner circles, so maybe Oswald was linked the them?
There were rumors that the CIA had been at odds with JFK from the get-go. They could do whatever they wanted and cover up whatever happened, so that's a possibility as well.
At the moment, I don't know what to believe. A part of me thinks that someone on the inside left him so vulnerable and out in the open. Then again, maybe it just all fell into place and Oswald just shot him. Nothing more, nothing less.
If I could somehow get the real story behind one event in history, this might be it.

JFK was Catholic which was another point of contention with many opposing factions.
What is particularly disturbing about this is the fact that journalist Dorothy Kilgallen was able to interview Ruby, and afterword stated she was going to blow the lid off of the assassination investigation. Before she could do that, she was found dead.
I corresponded with Harold Weiss while he was alive. He was a foremost investigator of the assassination and his comment in a letter to me was that Oswald could not have been singularly involved. He may have been involved, but there were several other conspirator/assassins.

Who did it is less important as why. Would communist-leaning forces in government and media have a reason to kill Kennedy (and his brother)?
Kennedy was a member of America First in 1940 and his father was anti-communist (and friendly with nationalist countries). His brother investigated communists in Hollywood and looked likely to have a good chance of being president. if elected he would probably have looked into his brother's death.
If the major media says the mafia or sinister white men in the shadows did it-then most likely, they did not.
I think a producer on JFK also admitted that he(the producer) helped Israel get nukes.
I never see that connection mentioned in all the conspiracy theories on JFK. The mafia, Cubans, Christians, I think there is room for a couple more, especially given Ruby's ancestry.
