I'm yet to be convinced that the real story will be released. I suppose I should be hopeful, but there are people and agencies that have much to lose if their involvement were revealed. I'll never believe that Oswald acted alone, if for no other reason than the reluctance to release the documents for 60 years.

There is way too much evidence that points to that, from the autopsy data, for instance, and people like Underhill - whose statement came the day after, followed by his death.

Dr. Malone... we have to believe what is shown to us in the altered Zapruder film. JFK's head is struck. It explodes and he moves back and to the right. He hits the right hand side of the limo and then falls ('bounces' ?) to the left engaging Jaqueline Kennedy. All this seems to clarify that the fatal bullet came from in front of Kennedy... and from the left. Exactly where the Secret Service Limo Diver was. No bullet striking JFK's head from the rear would do this. So Oswald is out. A kill shot from the rear would make his head push down. that didn't happen. His head pushed back because it was hit from the front !

Russia, Russia, Russia. Always Russia. We'll see.

One piece of information not often mentioned was that Oswald went to Mexico City a week before the assassination of John Kennedy and visited the U.S. Embassy. Richard Helms was the station chief for the CIA in Mexico at the time. Helms later became Director of the CIA. There exists a recorded conversation between President Richard Nixon and CIA Director Helms. Nixon tells Helms he knows that "dirty tricks" are a part of covert CIA activities. Then he said, "I think I know who killed John." Helms does not reply. There is a long 10-second pause of silence.

The basic question I have is how much of the documentation is miss direction to cloud the issue and point the finger away from domestic actors? Some of the books on JFK assassination do the job of declaring Oswald was the lone gunman. Farthest from the truth. Three bullet theory is a lie. Why? First bullet hit the curb. They cut out the curb. Second one hit the chrome headliner of the limo (some photos still exist) and ricocheted and hit Connelly. One bullet did all the rest of the damage? No way.

I was 14 in 1963 and watched Oswald get shot on live TV. Even at that young age, I found the whole thing weird and suspicious, it all didn't pass the smell test. My first thoughts were how on earth would Jack Ruby have been allowed in that garage and up close to Oswald like that? So many people at that time thought Oswald had been a patsy and due to a lot of things including the Cuban Missile crisis and mob activities, it sure looked like a lot of players could have wanted JFK gone. Five years later in 1968 my boyfriend (now husband) and I watched RFK get shot on TV. Since that era I have strongly felt we the American people did not know the real story. It's hard to believe that 62 years later we still don't know what we have the right to know.
