Okay, I'll go back to retards, in the informal meaning of the word of course.
All the evidence points to just Oswald firing from the Depository, not some
conspiracy plotted by the CIA, Cuban exiles, organized crime, LBJ, or
whoever else one wants to put in the mix. Dealey Plaza must have been
really crowded that day!
If a great many people have concerns then they only surpass the average
person not in intelligence, but in gullibility. Let them present some reliable
evidence that Oswald did not do it. Reliable, not some nonsense that doesn't
stand up to a minute's examination, which is most of what their "evidence"
consists of. Treating these kooks, like their confreres in the faked moon
landing and the U.S. government was behind 9/11 narratives, with anything other
than derision would be foolish. Derision is the most appropriate reaction to
their sheer idiocy.
The following is a good site to explore the basics of the case for Oswald as the
sole assassin. It's also advantageous to have most of the topics in one place.

Don't forget the scene of Matthew Garth and Cherry Valance comparing
one another's 'guns' to see just who has what. Is that a gun in your holster...
There is some doubt that Freud ever uttered the cigar line. Oh well.

Yeah, but you don't need to pay any attention to it. There's no nonsensical
and far-fetched nutty theories in there, so you won't be interested.

Well, when folks talk like kooky conspiracy types and walk like kooky
conspiracy types, there's a very good chance that they are........it's not
name calling, just an accurate description.
Actually the HSCA investigation of the late 1970s supported much of the
Warren Commission. It agreed that Oswald killed Kennedy, that he fired
three shots and that there was a single bullet that wounded both Kennedy
and Connally. The only reason that they concluded there was a second gun-
man who fired one shot that not only missed Kennedy, but the car and every-
thing else and was never found was because of a recording from a policeman's
motorcycle radio. That was the sole piece of evidence for another shooter.
Since that time the recording has been thoroughly discredited and we wind up
back where things began--Oswald as the sole assassin. If the nutjobs can't
understand that basic fact, that's their fault.

And nonsensical, kooky "solutions" for retards. See how things work out?
-
Nope, shot him in the neck and the bullet exited out the throat and went
into Connally, the single bullet in the single bullet theory. It ain't rocket
surgery. The good thing about Oswald as the sole assassin is, besides
that's where all the evidence points, that it keep things simple, without
all the nonsense about multiple shooters and changed caskets and all
the other junk that the kooks push.
Everybody knows that JFK was a major ****. That has nothing to do
with his assassination.
Don't forget another theory about the significance of the two monoliths. They
represent the black power movement of the 1960s. One stands for the non-violent
methods of Martin Luther King, Jr., the other for the by any means necessary
philosophy of Malcolm X. The universe finds a balance between the two.

I didn't see the movie, but I guess there's still an ongoing debate about how
much she did or didn't know. Seems to me there was either a movie or a TV
movie about the conspiracy and the other people involved in it.

Well some grand conspiracy with an apparently shifting cast of characters
from all over the place is more exciting than some nondescript schlub (I
guess that's somewhat redundant) being the culprit. Sometimes truth is
more banal than fiction. I can't figure if tin hatters like joyrider are just doing
a leg pull for the heck of it or if they actually believe this nonsense. I fear
it's usually the latter.
I believe it was the Dallas PD which found a palm print on the Mannlicher-
Carcano, but the fingerprints were not clear enough to be conclusive. So
the supposed conspirators put the fingerprints of the dead Oswald on the
rifle, but they didn't put them on clearly enough to be identified as Oswald's?
Yeah, sure.
Well, we'll always have the actual Lincoln assassination conspiracy.

No, I was replying to TopBilled. I agree that Power was a "pretty boy," a very
attractive man, probably one of the most attractive of the time. I would just
add that his features were more delicate than someone like Gary Cooper or
Clark Gable, and thus might seem more "feminine" than them. But I hardly
see where that leads to TB's conclusion that he had some kind of sexual
identity problem or had some desire to be womanly.

Not knowing it has nothing to do with age, it has to do with the fact
that the media blackout you mentioned never happened. There was
wall to wall coverage (though there were less walls back then then
there are today) in the immediate aftermath of the JFK assassination.
Maybe you were tuned into the loony tunes network and missed it.
-
Yep, old eagle eye Oswald. He did have the skill to be the sole assassin.
The Warren Commission was not perfect, but I think they got the basics
right. One shooter, two hits with two bullets, one bullet hitting both Kennedy
and Connally. Most of the pols were just there to be there. They didn't do
most of the work, the staff did. Some of the pols were nothing to brag on,
but that's irrelevant to the findings.
-
You did say that he was a pretty boy, which I presume to mean too pretty to play a
tough character like Jesse James. I don't know about his line readings and mannerisms
being "femme." (Do some people have femmedar, which enables them to know which male
actors are struggling with their gender identity and identify with being a woman?)
It was another poster who mentioned that Power had other male role models when he was
growing up, not me. And simply because he had an absent father does not necessarily mean
that caused him gender identity problems.
What I find most bizarre is making a huge leap from some of his movie roles and a little bit
about his personal life to the idea he had some deep-seated issues about his sexual identity
and he had some longing to be more womanly. I just don't see much evidence for that and
that's why it strikes me as a strange theory to promote.

Guess that's something for future Kennedy scholars to investigate.

The topic of sexual identity or sexual role confusion is itself not farcical
of course. What I find farcical is that Tyrone Power is being used as a
sterling example of it. You started out by saying that you considered
Power was "femme" in Jesse James. I've never seen the movie, so I
don't know how he played it. I think I can understand that, in general, Power
had rather delicate features and not the rough-hewn ones that one might
think of as being those of Jesse James. Fair enough. But then with a few
steps in between, including a scene from another movie and some amateur
psychology about Power's family background, which appears was not wholly
accurate, you seem to jump to the conclusion that Power had some type of
gender identity problems and had some yearning for the feminine. That's what
I find rather bizarre, the leap from Power's physical appearance in Jesse James
to the idea that he had serious gender issues of some kind, complete with a
definition of gender identity disorder. Considering the paucity of evidence for this,
it's just too weird to be taken seriously, at least by me.
-
Sometimes it's bad enough when professional psychologists make judgements,
but when amateurs try it, if often ends up as farce. Whether Power was a bi
guy, I don't know and don't really care, but attempting to paint him as some
sort of candidate for transgender surgery or even leaning that way is, considering
the lack of any reliable evidence, rather ridiculous.
-
I didn't realize that the Kennedy boys were discussing LBJ in that photo.
I have always thought they were deciding who should do Angie Dickinson
that night.
Maybe the U.S. government is right to have a low opinion of at least some
of its citizens. I'll take a real moon landing and Oswald as the sole assassin
over some far-fetched and kooky conspiracy theories any old day.

Yep, the balcony was where the action was. And since most folks were
intent on their own business, they didn't notice that other patrons were
doing similar things. Remember The Summer of '42 where good old Hermie
tried to put the make on his blonde companion during Now, Voyager ? Some
classic movie fan.
I remember going to the older, somewhat rundown, stand alone small town
movie theaters. They didn't pay much attention if anyone stayed to see the
movie again. At the one I worked at there was a velvet rope placed just before
the stairs to the balcony. When there was no movie playing it was kept in place.
One day the middle-aged head usher who liked to have a few drinks now and
again decided that instead of unhooking the rope to go upstairs, he'd just get
a running start and hop over it. Well, he didn't make it and fell down. Oops.

Guess this is bad news for Joe Buck and Sgt. Pete Keeley, among others.
I worked as a usher at a movie theater for one summer while I was in high
school. They had a kiddie matinee on Saturday afternoons. After the little
darlings were seated and the movie started, we would go up to the balcony
and every once in a while drop some candy on the youngsters below. Then we
would go downstairs so we could hear their complaints and promise to investi-
gate and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Yeah, the Jam were very good. I never really got into Style Council,
but I'd guess Weller did a good job with that band too.
