Colonel Mustard in the Conservatory with the Candlestick

The much disputed Warren Commission Report was issued on this date in 1964. According to the report, the bullets that killed President Kennedy and injured Texas Governor John Connally were fired by Lee Harvey Oswald in three shots from a rifle pointed out of a sixth floor window in the Texas School Book Depository.

The Warren Commission was chaired by Chief Justice Earl Warren, former Governor of California. It included Senators Richard B. Russell and John Sherman Cooper, House Members Hale Boggs and Gerald R. Ford, and two private citizens with extensive government service, Allen Dulles and John J. McCloy.

  1. This was a fascinating case, but probably will never be solved. Oswald was definitely not alone. There were many with a motive. A lot like 9-11, how could so many factors fall into place simultaneously by accident? 9-11 is another case where we will never learn the truth. But back to JFK:

    The Mafia: They were double-crossed over Havana, Bobby was appointed AG and made life miserable for them. But in the end, they didn’t gain anything.

    FBI: J. Edgar Hoover hated the Kennedys, but again no gain.

    CIA (under the auspices of the Military Industrial Complex) Possible. There were definitely many millions to be made with the intervention in Vietnam.

    You have to ask yourself in these matters, who had the most to gain? There lies the most logical culprits. In popular parlance “follow the money”.
