Oswald was Lone Assassin

[jaysay]

Historians Claim New Research Shows Oswald Acted Alone In JFK Assassination | Fox News

Historian Max Holland led a tam who applied new digital technology to old films take at the time, including the famous Zapruder Film and came to the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin who killed JFK. Looks like that's one conspiracy theory put to bed then

[cashman]

That conclusion is as daft as a conspiricy one to me.

Historian Max Holland writes articles regularly for the CIA 'in house' magazine

But he may still be telling the truth..

Unless any one of you knows any thing about fire arms, I suggest you treat it as Bull Shine, Le Harvey Oswald is supposed th have used the 6.5m Carcano Rifle, that weapon was a pile of crap, he would have been lucky to have hit the car Kennedy was in, never mind his head, those Carcano's rifles were bloody awful to use, & dammed inacurate, bloke I knew up Diggle Range had one. He soon got rid of it,

Agree with this completely ... Buddy of mine in Saskatchewan had one for a while .... he got it from a Montreal outfit called "Interarm", years ago. They specialized in selling refurbished army surplus rifles with sporting stocks for use as hunting rifles ... what a piece of garbage that gun was ... I doubt Oswald could have hit JFK's car even if he had been sitting in it. You couldn't get the damn thing sighted in. I think he tossed it.

I got a Lee Enfield from the same outfit .... only thing changed apart from the stock were the sights ... great hunting rifle: accurate and reliable. Still have it.

I liked the MkIII SMLE as the best of the miltary .303's, but for accuracy & consistency the P14 in .303 was better, I got two in the 1950's thro the Rifle Club for 4 quid each, one of them I rebarreled to .308 Winchester, reloaded my own ammo, 180 grain Lapua in front of 42 1/2 grains of R.P. number 2, won the club championship 5 years on the trot with that rifle.

Actually lister ,rimmer and kryton caused the death of kenedy.

It was all explained in a documentary called Red Dwarf on BBC2 a few years back .

I still have a Winchester Model 70 .308 ... it's a nice light, bolt action gun ... great for carrying around in the bush ... But I don't load my own rifle ammo (although I do load shotgun shells).

Once owned a 22-250 model 70 ... illegal for big game, (has to be over .22 in Canada), but a great varmint gun if you have a problem with coyote, fox, or skunk ... or an American President you don't happen to like.

Still ... I think that Oswald had more chance of winning the lottery than of hitting a moving target (or even a stationary barn) with that Italian junk ... even though it had never been fired and only dropped once before he got it

This kind of tells us nothing really, & doesn't explain what was going on around the "grassy Knoll" either! I still think Oswald was a Patsy!

Wasn't that the rifle used by US Sniper/scout teams during Vietnam ? By all accounts a reliable & accurate weapon.

The British long range snipers adopted the .338 calibre some while ago, the yanks have also been usiing a .50 based on the .50 Browning M.G. round.
They make one hell of a mess of terrorists, even if they try to hide behind a wall, any thing up to a mile away.
Now thats one I'd like to have a go with, even with a muzzle brake, it must have a eck of a recoil.
That calibre holds a record at 1000 yards grouping 5 shots in under 3 inches, using hand loaded ammo.

The actual assassin that fateful day was one Diana Vreeland of the fashion police, hired by Madame Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel, and her intended target was the First Lady, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. The President was an innocent bystander.

Mrs. Kennedy's rasberry pink suit was made in 1961 by the New York dress salon, Chez Ninon. It was a copy of a Chanel a pink boucle wool suit trimmed with a navy blue collar.

Vreeland's cover was that she was supposedly reporting the day's event for Harper's Bazaar, from a lawned hillock, which provided a clear view of the route the Presidential cavalcade would take.

Vreeland's capri pants, taken to a Chinese laundry in the Upper East Side, New York city, November 23rd, 1963.




Beware of fakes.
