Decades After, Few Accept the Official Explanation for JFK Assassination
Analysis By Gary Langer
ABCNEWS.com
Nov. 16— Forty years later, suspicions of a conspiracy endure: Seven in 10 Americans think the assassination of John F. Kennedy was the result of a plot, not the act of a lone killer — and a bare majority thinks that plot included a second shooter on Dealey Plaza.
ABCNEWS has completed a poll in conjunction with a two-hour ABCNEWS special, Peter Jennings Reporting: The Kennedy Assassination — Beyond Conspiracy, airing 9-11 p.m. (EST) Thursday, Nov. 20. The program includes a computer-generated reconstruction of the shooting that confirms that Oswald was the lone gunman. And it finds no persuasive evidence of a conspiracy to kill the president.
Just 32 percent accept the Warren Commission's 1964 finding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he shot Kennedy as his motorcade passed through downtown Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Fifty-one percent think there was a second gunman, and seven percent go so far as to think Oswald wasn't involved at all.
Sixty-eight percent of Americans also think there was "an official cover-up" to hide the truth about the assassination from the public. And about as many, 65 percent, think that "important unanswered questions" remain, four decades after Kennedy's death.

Belief in a broader plot peaked at 80 percent in a 1983 ABCNEWS poll; it's since eased a bit, to today's 70 percent. Similarly, the number of people who think there was an official cover-up has moved back from its peak, 81 percent in 1993, to 68 percent now.
A thorough, documented, criminal indictment of George Herbert Walker Bush, establishing beyond a reasonable doubt his guilt as a supervisor in the conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy.
This is the best documentary about the murder of JFK that I've ever seen. This is above and beyond anything you've ever seen on the subject. The evidence is here and it is conclusive.
Skepilogue: If there is a conspiracy here, remember, they're smarter than you...
Criminal Cast of CrimeBush Characters:
Prescott Bush - Grandfather (Pressy)
George Bush Sr. - former president (Poppy)
George Bush Jr. - current president (Dubya)
IT'S COMPLICATED... KEY POINTS:
and if none of this hodgepodge works for you - just watch it...
1. Pressy was arrested by J. Edgar Hoover in 1942 as CEO of Union Bank for trading with the Nazi's... and still didn't stop until 1951. He was a tire-salesman who got his first investment job with his father-in-law, Averill Harriman, and they both did regular business with the first head of the CIA, Allen Dulles, who in turn had helped them hide funding of Hitler's rise to power.
2. Pressy got Poppy his first job after a stint in the army and at Yale with the CIA's Allen Dulles, and Poppy stayed low-key at the CIA for a while. He's just finished a stint as a kid in the Skull and Bones, and was now looking to become a man.
3. Poppy started his first business, Zapata Oil, off the coast of Cuba, where the CIA was planning the "Bay of Pigs" invasion (CIA Code Name: "Operation Zapata") with anti-Castro guerillas. Poppy and E. Howard Hunt (who later admitted a CIA conspiracy in extorting a million dollars in hush-money out of Nixon) were working together in Cuba.
4. Pressy Bush funded young Richard Nixon for Congress and all the way up to his Presidential runs, along with Dulles and Harriman, rallying GOP and corporate support.
5. JFK won the Presidency in 1960. The CIA and their friends were pissed, but they ran the Bay of Pigs invasion anyway without his permission hoping he would be forced to commit U.S. troops. He didn't, the small force was captured, and JFK fired the top 3 guys in the CIA while publicly taking full responsibility.
6. After they screwed around with Cuba and Russia again during the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK flipped, and asked J. Edgar Hoover to use the FBI to find and shut down all the secret CIA anti-Castro training centers. Lee Harvey Oswald was his best asset, and a double-agent for the CIA and FBI; he had announced he was a traitor when he went to Russia, then later came back and worked with both. Oswald lead the FBI to a few CIA camps before he was figured out and later framed.
7. JFK was assasinated on November 22, 1963. Poppy, Hunt, and Nixon all gave inconsistent reports where they were when they heard he got shot each time they were interviewed for several years; witnesses were killed; and various cover-ups ensued.
8. Later at a 1975 Senate re-investigation into the case, CIA Director William Colby starts talking, saying among other things: "Bush and Hunt were there, they were in charge of the shooters... maybe I'm saying too much." He was fired by President Gerald Ford and replaced with George H.W. (Poppy!) Bush as Head of the CIA. Even though Poppy said he had no experience, he quickly refused the agency's cooperation and killed the re-investigation.
9. In response to a CIA "in-your-face!" request for the FBI to investigate what happened, Hoover responded to the threat by writing a memo to then CIA Director Dulles that innocently confirms the involvement of George H.W. Bush in CIA activities at the time. Poppy, when publicly campaigning in the 1970's, claims he hadn't done anything with the CIA before becoming CIA Director in 1976.
10. What about Dubya? Well... rumour was JFK Jr. was looking into who killed his Dad with more interest... he was a handsome young member of an American Dynasty settling down after his playboy-years and considering a political career... Dubya had to prove his loyalty to the Skull and Bones just like Poppy did...
What about George W. Bush? Was he there?
Kennedy’s plane went into the sea at 10:00 on Friday night, July 16, 1999. Bush was involved in a heated campaign, which he was losing in New Hampshire. He was constantly in public and constantly surrounded by reporters, so it’s easy to figure out where he was. Right? Wrong! According to the Omaha World Herald (7/17/99), on July 16th Bush was flipping pancakes Friday morning in Des Moines, but he boarded a bus and disappeared for the entire weekend. On Saturday, July 18th, reporters looking for a comment from Bush confronted a fumbling spokesperson who was unable to say when Bush would be available for comment. (Newsday, 7/19/99, A19) Bush finally called a press conference on Monday, to offer condolences.
Do you think this evidence is too weak to accuse Bush of murder? As George would say, “We got more than enough here to hang a feller in Texas.”
No worries mate, a pleasure meeting ya, I love Alex' stuff and think people just don't know how good he is. I've got links to flicks that blew my mind below and helped me comprehend the honesty of what Dr. Jones was speaking of, gotta spread da looove... :)
Peace by peace... BK

There's a lot of stuff we should know and we know we don't know it, and these cover dozens of questions anyone with a conscience would ask if they knew they could.
There are also some people we should listen to, and others we shouldn't, I guess everyone can decide for themselves...
"Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th, malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists themselves, away from the guilty."
