Ruby in the video even says "When I mentioned about Adlai Stevenson, If he was the vice president there would never have been an assassination of our beloved president."
Reporter: "Would you explain again"?
Ruby: "Well, the answer is the man in office now"
E. Howard Hunt, a former CIA agent who organized the Watergate break-in, earning him the name "plumber" states in his book, American Spy: My Secret History in the CIA, Watergate & Beyond, due out in April, that "LBJ had the money and the connections to manipulate the scenario in Dallas and is on record as having convinced JFK to make the appearance in the first place."
"He further tried unsuccessfully to engineer the passengers of each vehicle, trying to get his good buddy, Gov. [John] Connolly, to ride with him instead of in JFK's car – where...he would have been out of danger," writes Hunt.
Hunt concludes, "Having Kennedy liquidated, thus elevating himself to the presidency without having to work for it himself, could have been a very tempting and logical move on Johnson's part."
"After tomorrow those SOB's will never embarrass me again, that's not a threat, that's a promise"
Members present at the meeting according to Madeleine were figures such as J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson, John J. McCloy, Jack Ruby, George Brown (of Brown and Root), numerous mafia kingpins, several newspaper and TV reporters, Richard Nixon and maybe more but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Yeah it is off topic,
Oddly enough, the day you posted this thread, Showtime had a movie called "Frame of Mind" about a guy finding old film from Dealey Plaza that showed a guy with a rifle.
On November 23, 1963 a report was distributed by the two major wire serves, AP and UPI, which ran in The Seattle Times under the headline “Was Connally Primary Target? Oswald Letter Raises Question.” According to the report, the Pentagon had released a letter written by Lee Harvey Oswald to John Connally, the former Secretary of the Navy, dated January 20, 1962, in regard to his “undesirable discharge from the Marine Corps” – specifically the “Marines Inactive Reserves.” Initially, the accused assassin had received an “honorable discharge” from active duty in September, 1959, but as a result of his decision to defect and offer military secrets related to the U-2 (in exchange for Soviet citizenship which wasn’t granted), Oswald’s discharge was subsequently downgraded to either “less than honorable” or “dishonorable” (there still seems to be some disagreement as to which term is correct, although, oddly enough, Oswald didn’t use either in his letter). Since Oswald had stated his intention to “’employ all means’ to right a wrong he said had been done him in military service,” it was suggested in the report that Oswald’s “threat…could pose the question of whether Connally – rather than Kennedy – might have been the primary target if the charge that Oswald did the shooting is sustained.” In his letter, he accused Connally of commiting a “gross mistake or injustice to a bone fide U.S. citizen and ex-serviceman” and stated that the “U.S. government has no charges or complaints against me. I ask you to look into this case and take the necessary steps to repair the damage done to me and my family.”

Hi all.
I have been a long time lurker on here but would like to have my say on a small part of the JFK Assassination. Namely the headshot.
I have been interested in the assassination since I was 12 years old (I am 32 now). I have been to Dallas 3 times (1998, 1999 and 2004). I have countless books on the subject .... some very imformative, some pretty laughable.
Now here is what I have to say about the headshot ......
Most books, researchers, websites etc ..... always put the grassy knoll shooter at the right hand side of the knoll near the corner of the fence toward Zapruder (e.g. Badgeman, or where the shooter is in the film JFK or where Rising Against shows him - see below).
Now here is Rising Againsts images - I will use these as an example but the same can be said for any shooter on the right hand side of the knoll:
Look at the angles ...... any shot from these positions and the bullet would exit NOT out the back of JFKs head BUT THE LEFT SIDE of his head and maybe have even hit Jackie. There was no damage to the left side of the head or back left side. Most of the Dallas doctors that treated JFK said there was a hole in the BACK RIGHT of his head.
Now to me the most plausible angle for the headshot is one that I have read about a few times and I done a drawing in MS Paint a few years ago now which shows where it is (excuse my laughable drawing skills please. lol):
This shooter position would give the perfect angle for the headshot, especially the exit wound at the back right of JFKs head.
Lets see what you guys think about this.
If I get time I can put up a lot of info on the assassination if any members want me to.
he was clearly shoot from the back, at the moment his head explodes his body goes slightly forward, his jerking back could have been caused by the secret service agent hitting the gas as soon as he heard the shot.
If I get time I can put up a lot of info on the assassination if any members want me to.

I'm not sure who this post is directed at so I'll just reply to it myself and well..errmm.. I have no idea what you are talking about in all honesty.
ok where was the bullit proof top and
Why would a bullet proof vest be brought up here? Or why would one be needed as at the time no one knew (or was supposed to know) about an assassination apart from the assassin. As far as anyone was concerned this was an opportunity to see the president and for the president to see the people.
no vest was mentioned.
why didn't they put it on the car?
The above answers your second question.
who talked whom out of it?
Who talked whom out of what?
Can you please clarify what you are talking about please?

Now, I'm not convinced of anything at all yet but that was a great post and if you can add more information then please do as I for one would love to see it!
I found this as well and thought it was worth sharing.

I'm not sure exactly how accurate it is but I thought it was worth bringing up and I'd love to hear your opinion on it.
