"There is overwhelming evidence that LHO fired the shots and none whatsoever for another theory."
The preceding has just been tweeted to me by David Aaronovitch.
I want to thank this wonderful man for this fantastic tweet.
It has answered all my prayers.
It is obvious from the evidence that the exact opposite of what is said in this tweet is the case.
ID EST: There is no evidence whatsoever that Oswald fired anything at all and overwhelming evidence for something else. I want to be clear about that because it is as plain as a pikestaff.
Hence we are into interesting territory. Thanks again, David.

He says that Jim Garrison had a "massive ego." Well thanks for telling me that too, David. I'll bear that in mind. The book you tell me about by Vincent Bugliosi is at the top of my reading list.
But can I ask if Vincent Bugliosi has a "massive ego" (whatever that means) as well?; and whether that is relevant to his work?
--------
I am looking forward to receiving an email from him explaining in great detail the "overwhelming evidence" that Oswald committed the crime.
Writing such an email would be a hard task indeed.
There is :-
NO EVIDENCE that Oswald was in the Depository
NO EVIDENCE that Oswald fired a gun, let alone a specific gun
NO EVIDENCE that anyone SAW Oswald commit the crime
NO EVIDENCE that any "ammunition shells" "found" at the so-called "sniper's nest" had anything to do with Oswald....
NO EVIDENCE that any ammunition fired at Kennedy had anything to do with a specific gun, let alone a gun associated in any way with Oswald......
...........
"LHO" would have been aquitted in any court of law worthy of the name.
WHEREAS.....
There is overwhelming and abundant evidence that something else happened.
I do not contend that I know exactly what that was.
But it is almost certain that the assassin or assassins fired from the notorious "grassy knoll".
And it is absolutely certain that Lee Harvey Oswald did not murder JFK.
Hence as it stands conventional history records an outright lie.

On the 50th Anniversary to the day of the coup, I would like to say that I believe it was principally Kennedy's opposition to the Vietnam War that meant that he was not wanted.
I strongly suspect that the C.I.A. assassinated Kennedy.
He had a different vision of the kind of country the USA should be.

I want to say that this general perspective of questioning lazy thinking and questioning the current vogue for "conpiracy theories" a` la David Icke is vital and related to vital questions about our political culture.
Analysing "conspiracy theories" is important.
Also of course "conspiracy theories" of a kind have a long history.
I just obviously think at the minimum that Aaronovitch and others are wrong about the assassination of Kennedy, for example.
The theory that someone other than Oswald murdered Kennedy does not qualify for the term "conspiracy theory" - it qualifies for the designation "case proven beyond reasonable doubt."
