(8,377 posts)#1 If Oswald did in fact fire shots from the depository, why was he, what was his motive, and what was his background? What took him to Russia and how did he get back here without any hassle? Did he have any prior connection with the CIA?
#2 The final shot that killed Kennedy looks to all the world as if it entered from the front. Every respected medical text on gunshots to the head says that the entry wound is almost always small and the exit wound is almost always much larger. The attending physicians saw the small entry wound because Kennedy was on his back. On that basis, and given that he was still alive and gasping for breath, they rushed to perform a tracheotomy and to infuse plasma through a leg artery. They abruptly called this off once they saw the much larger wound on the back of his head. Any trained professional would assume it is highly likely entry wound was in the forehead. That implies at least one other shooter of course.
#3 Who was Ruby and who put him up to killing Oswald? We know he wasn't a fan of JFK, so that explanation doesn't fly. A person doesn't do something like that without a very good reason. Did somebody have a way to pressure him? He had mob connections. Did he owe them something big?
There are more questions, but it seems to me these are the 3 obvious ones that jump right out. If you were in charge of finding the truth, these are the questions that you would want to have answers for from the very beginning. Instead these are the big three that the Warren Commission buried and stonewalled. The Warren Commission did exactly the opposite of what a reasonable person would do it they were actually looking for the truth.
