Who Killed JFK? Rob Reiner

[Joinfortmill]

Me: People, I'm listening to the podcast of Who Killed JFK? on Spotify. It's free. All I can say is, Holy Shit. This is a must hear.

[MOMFUDSKI]

1. So am I.

Skullduggery all around. Did some You Tubing and discovered Dorothy Kilgallen was hot on the New Orleans mafia trail. She wound up dead in short order. Will be interesting to see who Reiner names.

[Joinfortmill]

2. It certainly will.

[TreasonousBastard]

4. Been reading a lot about Kilgallen lately...

She knew a lot more than she had time to tell.

[roamer65]

15. I have always had one main suspect.

Let’s see if Reiner’s trail is to the same one as mine.

[Warpy]

17. Good he's pointing that stuff out

I've always thought Jack Ruby was the key to the whole thing, a low level mobster sent in to shut up a guy they were afraid would talk.

Kilgallen was a hell of a reporter. If anyone could have gotten people to talk, it was Kilgallen.

Three weeks later, murder hit far closer to home, so my attention was shifted.

When the Warren Report came out, I still knew it was nothing but a thick coat of whitewash.

[Blues Heron]

7. you win the internets today

[Major Nikon]

12. That rat bastard!

[Probatim]

27. The real question is this - did Meathead act alone?

[Quixote1818]

8. I thought they had used the latest techniques 10 years ago to show 1 shooter?

So is there even more advanced science saying something different now?

[GuppyGal]

10. Thanks I'm going to watch that documentary ! nt

[GuppyGal]

9. I think Rob may sound a little kooky about this.

[barbaraann]

11. It looks to me like the interviewers are afraid to say much.

I can think of a lot of comments and questions for Mr. Reiner.

[roamer65]

16. They are scared of it.

You can tell from how they act.

[barbtries]

13. thanks for posting

i want to listen to this podcast.

[sdfernando]

14. Rob Reiner killed JFK???

Wow…..who would have guessed it was a kid? 🤦?♂️

[ColinC]

19. My thoughts exactly

[MyNameIsJonas]

18. I knew it was Rob Reiner all along.

[Jarqui]

20. Reiner's right

I remember parts of that day like 10 minutes ago.

I was a young boy. JFK was a real life hero to me. I idolized him.
For many, he represented hope and the right things would be done.
They stopped school when he was shot.
We listened on the radio until Walter Cronkite told us he had passed.
They dismissed us to go home.

It was a very windy fall day of very strong gusts.
The wind had leaves and everything swirling in tremendous turmoil ... which seemed somewhat symbolic for how we felt - like the whole planet seemed upset.
Going home on the bus, hardly anyone was saying anything. If they were, it was very quiet and sombre. Collectively, we all seemed to have suffered a loss. We were in shock.
When I switched buses, trucks dropped off packs of newspapers on the curb for distribution with one headline "KENNEDY DEAD". They were out so fast. It kind of bothered me that they were not more graceful or compassionate. Like his assassination, those words were so blunt and harsh. They added to the raw wound.

In the sad days that followed, I resolved that they may be able to kill President Kennedy but they were not going to be able to kill what he stood for. The gusts from that day still seem to be helping to fill my sails.

21. Legacy of Secrets is one of the best books on this by Lamar Waldron w/ Thom Hartman

It's a loooong read at over 900 pages but worth it. Waldron has made the JFK assassination his life's work and Hartman is maybe more of a writing assistant and a deep well of historical knowledge, both putting Waldrons collection into a concise piece of reading. There are DECADES of research Waldron has put into this and fact checked the fact checks in his research. This book to me explained the most plausible and sensible iteration of what happened. He digs deep into the history, and I mean deep, of everyone thats ever been accused of being involved and nearly every conspiracy theory. Even if you don't agree with his view of the tragedy its well worth the read from a historical standpoint. I'll be interested to listen to Reiners podcast and compare notes and ideas from this book.

23. Found a YouTube talk by Mark Shaw who

has written 5 books about it. He hates that the Dallas Museum is only about the Warren Commission with the single bullet theory.

[usonian]

22. I KNEW that Rob Reiner did it.

Meathead.
Took damn long time to confess.

[Mr. Sparkle]

25. Rob also did an interview on Msnbc

i never knew he was a big JFK buff.

[Stuart G]

26. Well?? In two words...Exactly who killed JFK??? Just 2 words...Forget the crap.

Was it meathead? Or someone else?...Or Lyndon?...Who did it?

[elocs]

28. Reading this thread is as much time as I've thought of the JFK assassination in decades. I'm way past caring anymore

because it won't change anything. In the 60 years it has been I've found that those who are in to conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination are fans of almost any conspiracy theory that come down the road. I don't need to know who really killed JFK because it's not going to change a thing.

[Stuart G]

29. According to the link below, "CIA killed Kennedy, " Perhaps Lyndon Johnson had a role in it ?

Forget the crap, these sentences are the key to this story.

https://www.tmz.com/2023/11/09/jfk-assassination-rob-reiner-soledad-obrien-conspiracy-killers-assassins-podcast/

These sentences are in the above link:

"There are CIA connections to the plot to kill Kennedy, and even President Lyndon B. Johnson -- who succeeded Kennedy -- had a significant role in the coverup, according to Rob."

So....50 years later Rob Reiner has the answer.

What do you think?.....I think Rob is full of bullshit....(maybe to sell a book?)

[Paladin]

30. Hate to see Rob Reiner wading into the conspiracy jungle. (nt)

[Blues Heron]

31. I think once Jack Ruby got involved it was clear a coverup was in effect

why would you throw your life away like that if it didnt concern you?

[Attilatheblond]

34. Wasn't Ruby alread a dead man walking? Terminal cancer if I recall

The plotters picked their clean up hitter with purpose.

Always bugged me that George H. W. Bush was the only person who said he couldn't recall where he was the day JFK was killed. He was CIA back then, wasn't he? And suddenly a made man. Yeah, suspicious.
