The JFK assassination theory is the one conspiracy theory that you are positively encouraged to accept. People should ask themselves why?

Because the circumstantial case against Oswald is so weak that he'd never have been convicted in a fair court of law. I've seen Mr. Posner admit as much in a video where he said Oswald might well have been acquitted at trial if he'd been defended by Mark Lane.

And if the legal case against him is weak, what have you really got? Sixty-one years of claims that have never been tested in court. Every Warrenite claim is subject to reasonable doubt. In a court case the sloppy police work, witness intimidation, and duplicate Oswald sightings would have come up.

Mr. Posner, do you still agree that Oswald might well have been acquitted in court? At the very least, can we all agree that he was shamefully denied his Constitutional rights at the time? Even the Warren report stated that due to the outrageous publicity that weekend it would have been difficult to give him a fair trial. And may we not for that reason alone, grant him the benefit of the doubt today? The Warrenite case is very thin, and the government did engage in a massive coverup; whether to hide their own dirty doings in Cuba or to hide their own incompetence.

People think there was a conspiracy because it's very easy to spend a few years digging into the evidence in the case and come to that conclusion.

And here we are today, on the very day that the DOJ announced that Epstein had no client list, blackmailed no one, and committed suicide. This is why we need to get to the bottom of the JFK assassination. At some point in the postwar history of this country, the massive lies have to stop.

ps -- Just saw Mr. Posner's full article on Public, and there's a photo of Michael Baden going over the head shot diagram. The same Michael Baden who discovered that Epstein's hyoid bone was fractured, more indicative of a strangulation murder than a suicide. Another connection from the government lies of the 60's to the government lies of today

Case closed is a world class seminal work and helped cement my own view that the assassination -like 9/11 - a case of government incompetence.

Gerald: “And despite the media hype and the recycled speculation that comes with every so-called “breakthrough,” there is no “smoking gun” in the JFK assassination. There never was.” I like you was in the fourth grade at a catholic school. We knew something was bad when we saw the Irish nuns were trying to stifle tears. And then they told us and lead us into assembly then prayers then dismissal. School was not open the next day. It was a confusing and horrifying time. I watched on live tv Oswald getting shot by Ruby. That was surreal and the imprint has lasted my entire life. But I am - we are - very lucky that you and Trisha wrote ‘Case Closed’ which has been clarifying to say the least.

I’ve waited my entire life hoping to get to the bottom of this. You have done it dear friends. Thank you so very much! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
