Conspiracy Theories: JFK

 Another one of my discussions on conspiracy theories.

Facts:

1.  JFK was shot on 22 November 1963.

2.  Oswald, the accused shooter was killed on 24 November 1963, by Jack Ruby (local mafia character in Dallas).  

3.  Warren Commission finishes project on 24 September 1964....one shooter-one magic bullet theory is the end-result.

I have no doubt that JFK was shot by Oswald on the 24th.  But once you enter the magic-bullet idea into the mix, and ask this type of situation to be conducted a hundred times....the odds are that it'll only happen one single time of the hundred.  At that point, the theory is questionable. So enters the more likely scenario of a second-shooter.  

Add to this....the long sorted story of Oswald, which just seems fairly unbelievable.  Then you add in some patriotic character like Jack Ruby who is absolutely a guy that the mafia can count upon.

Was the mafia connected into this?  I think they were called on the 23rd and asked to clean up a particular messy situation because Oswald didn't exit the building in the correct direction and didn't get shot by the pre-planned police.  Beyond that....I doubt if the mafia really knew anything going on. 

For years after this Ruby mission, I think a dozen-odd members of the mafia knew bits of the story, and just sat there shaking their head over how they got taken into this whole mess.  

I would add this comment....if you'd said for this to be arranged via the mafia....there's a hundred other ways they would have accomplished this without shooting drama business being involved.

As for who might have been the planning group?  It's just odd....the one guy that Kennedy absolutely fired from the CIA (28 November 1961)...Dulles....is one of the seven people put on the Warren Commission.  

The other 500-odd conspiracy 'links'?  Well....they make for an interesting conversation but most all just lead in circles with no additional facts in the mix.
