JFK Assassination Forum

"By the time he (Katzenbach) wrote that, there was already enough evidence gathered that there was no doubt Oswald was the assassin and the WC would come to that conclusion.--JC

I agree with Michale Capasse on this one.

By Nov. 25 1963 there was no certainty about the scope and scale of the JFKA, in fact questions had just been raised by the unusual murder of LHO, suggestive of a plot to silence the one man who could squeal on confederates.

No one on Nov. 25 had done a substantial analysis of the Z-film, although some say the CIA had, and concluded there had been more than one shooter. Even if LHO had physically acted alone on Nov. 22, on Nov. 25 there was no way to ascertain if LHO had been financed, induced or guided by others.

LHO had evidently departed from TSBD6 unseen in the immediate aftermath of the JFKA, meaning if he had a confederate, that individual could have also left the building unseen also.   

LBJ did not want a nuke war. LBJ probably understood that elements within the KGB and G2 could have effected the JFKA without approval from higher-ups. Going to a nuke war over what some cast-off hotheads perped would have compounded the tragedy million-fold. Yet the public and military might howl for revenge, if it even appeared that KGB and G2 had a role in the JFKA.

LBJ probably made the right choice. Bury the JFKAC...better not to know.

Leads into LHO-Cuba on the JFKA were snuffed out.

In the recently posted Nova program, Luke Haag pronounced it CAR-cun-no which I believe is correct. I've been pronouncing it wrong all these years too. I also learned that I have been misspelling the last name of Luke and Mike Haag for as long as I have written about them. I have spelled it Haas because that was a surname I was more familiar with.

I've heard a couple of native Italian speakers pronounce the name, and they always said it with the stress on the first syllable, "CAR-can-o."

By the time he wrote that, there was already enough evidence gathered that there was no doubt Oswald was the assassin and the WC would come to that conclusion.

Garbage - It was written the day after Lee was murdered while he should've been protected by DPD.
...then was locked up until 1994. Do u just make stuff up?

Once again = two sides of your mouth...

Who cares what LBJ thought. He was getting most of his information directly from Hoover and it is clear from their recorded conversations that Hoover was completely clueless about the details of the assassination.

I just wish that the Carcano model 91/38 short rifle was not as popular as it has become as a collector’s gun. It has become way too expensive and hard to find for us regular folks.

I priced them online a few weeks ago. The carbines are selling in the $400-500 range which isn't a bad price. Good luck finding a short rifle. That is the one that collectors have bought up and seem to be hanging on to. Oswald ordered the carbine but Klein's had run out of them so they substituted the short rifle for that. I would bet that if one came on the market, the asking price would be at least double, maybe more. A lot of carbines are being sold as short rifles. The key is the barrel length. The carbine had a 17.5 inch barrel while the short rifle had a 21 inch barrel. All the Carcanos I've seen offered are 17.5 inch barrels if they barrel length is stated at all or are the long rifle. I've found a few listings for the short rifle but every one I checked indicated the rifle had been sold.
