John F Kennedy, The Target!

John Kennedy should have just stayed in bed that day in November 1963. I know that may sound as if I'm being glib, but nothing could be further than the truth. That would have been the only way for him to avoid the headsman's axe, if you'll please pardon my analogy.
For someone, anyone, to think this was the act of one angry, deranged, misguided, or self deluded (poor me, I'm disenfranchised) individual, that person would have to be either; A.) Stupid: Which I will not attribute to anyone I do not know (or at least haven't heard speak, or seen write).
B.) Naive: Someone who is able to swallow, still, after all these years, the Warren Commission Report. I mean, how many people have to come forward to debunk that thing? Well, it did get one thing right...John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of The United States was killed that day at Dealey Plaza. By who, exactly, is something we will probably never know.

If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president's;

JFK

Eternal Flame 

People "still" want to know!

History is the one thing that never gets old...! What?

Think about it...time doesn't matter; hundreds, or in some cases, thousands of years worth of time goes by, yet people still discuss certain events as though they happened yesterday.

You may be sitting there shaking your head saying..."Da! Of course time goes by."

But if you think about my opening sentence, about history never getting old, I think you may (if you haven't already) begin to grasp what I'm talking about. Sure events that took place in the past, whether it be the recent past, or hundreds, if not thousands of years ago could be construed as i> But to people who follow history, or particular events in history, it may just as well have happened this morning.

Yet, there are times when things happen, or certain notable people do something that is news worthy, that other people will talk about it, or at least notice it enough to write it down in the annuls. But, let a little time go by, like say, a week or so...and those same people that were talking, and/or writing about it just a short time ago will say this; "That is such old news" or, "That is ancient history."

Which brings me, at long last, to my point! The JFK assassination will not go away. Of course, because it happened to a sitting U.S. President, but also because of all the mystique, and cloak and dagger surrounding the case. And lets not forget the all important human element. JFK was a young president, the youngest, in fact. He was also a father of young children, his life was, well..."Camelot," and the American people felt a connection of sorts to that family, what with all the photo's of Jack and the kids, and Jack, Jackie, and the kids. Not to mention, JFK had just pulled the U.S. and the world's collective fat out of the fire during the "Cuban Missile Crisis."

Look, I'm not naive, I know what Kennedy was doing behind Jackie's back...in fact I'm quite sure Jackie knew precisely what he was up to also, and I am in no way excusing him from those inexcusable actions. But there is NO WAY any one can compare a JFK administration with one of say, um...Bill Clinton? JFK had greatness written all over him, from his war record to his presidency.

You know what Clinton had all over him? High taxes, the technology boom which resulted in an unbelievable economy, peace-time, and Monica Lewinski.

Some Of The Best EVER Spoken

The JFK Assassination Debates Lone Gunman versus Conspiracy

by Michael L. Kurtz

This book will appeal to any who have an interest in the Kennedy assassination. Even if you subscribe to the...ahem lone gunman theory you will appreciate Kurtz's honesty. He does come clean about his loyalties, but when he delves into arguments for the lone gunman, You would never know he believes there was a conspiracy behind the death of the 35th president. He presents both cases extraordinarily well and leaves no stone unturned.

JFK Photos on Flickr

These are random photos from Flickr. The photos I have cannot be shown here because of graphic nature of them.

Note:When I created this lens I could have sworn I made the rating an R, but evidently it didn't take or I messed up. Since this is my 2nd attempt at a JFK lens for the same problem (the rating) I doubt I screwed it up twice.

Must Read Books On "The Asassination"

Eye Opening Stuff

The first book I read on "The Assassination" was BEST EVIDENCE by David Levin which argued for conspiracy. My most recent read was, "The JFK Assassination Debates; Lone Gunman versus Conspiracy" by Michael L. Kurtz. Of course with many stops along the way in various magazine articles, and even one literal stop at "The Texas School Book Depository Museum"

The Zapruder Film

This Speaks For Itself!

The Lone Gunman theorists wish this film never existed. But after 44 years and still no conclusive "who did it" maybe this film isn't so damaging after all. You be the judge.
