Cuba certainly had very good reasons for targeting JFK. They were thrown under the bus by the Soviets to resolve the Cuban Missile Crisis based on only a verbal promise not to invade Cuba.Meanwhile the assassination plots and sabotage raids continued. JFK continued to make bellicose speeches regarding Cuba as recently as a few days before his assassination. Rolando Cubella was being recruited as an assassin of Castro as a prelude to a coup which would be the pretext to a US invasion. That Cubella was not executed but merely imprisoned and later released and allowed to leave tge country suggests he was reporting this back to Castro.

Castro’s G2 had thoroughly penetrated the exile groups which is why so many of their efforts failed. Even today we are still uncovering Cuban moles that have been embedded in US intelligence for decades.

It’s possible that Castro personally may not have known about the plots. There is no reason to suspect that G2 could have rogue elements like what has been alleged of the CIA.

A post on Fred Litwin’s site quotes an article by Josiah Thompson that the 12:40 PM photo (time stamped by the Hertz clock atop the TSBD in the background) that shows a blonde man ostensibly pocketing a bullet with Buddy Walther’s looking on really shows Luke Mooney and that it was Sheriff Bill Decker rather than Walthers. I am skeptical about Decker’s plausibility of being in Dealey Plaza at that time since he was in the lead car with Curry which went with the motorcade to Parkland. So whether Thompson was correct about Mooney is also in doubt. By that time, Mooney supposedly had already searched the railroad yard having run there from the County Sheriff’s office on Main snd Houston after the shots were fired. Seems unlikely.

     I'm not familiar with Josiah Thompson writing "articles". This incorrect ID stuff is routinely proffered on the videos of "NoTrueFlags Here" on You Tube.  And this includes the claim that we are Not seeing Officer Baker on the Couch/Darnell films running toward the TSBD. This crazy ID stuff is unlike Josiah Thompson. Luke Mooney had already gone through the "wide open" Huges Gates and entered the TSBD by 12:40.

The secret service follow up car was following 5 feet behind the limo and both were initially traveling at about 15 feet per second. The BEST driver reaction time for recognizing the need to brake, removing the foot from the accelerator and to begin actual braking is 0.7 seconds. In that time, the secret service follow up car would have already traveled 10 feet. It would have to brake extremely abruptly to have maintained any distance from the limo which would have been quite noticeable to all the passengers including Kennedy loyalists O’Donnell and Powers. If Clint Hill wasn’t pinned between the two cars, he certainly would have had to climb between them to get on the limo.

That 5 foot separation was required when the vehicles were traveling at or below 15 mph just so agents could reach the limo if needed. You can see this clearly in the footage on Houston Street. There had to be some kind of advanced communication if a stop was intended. There is no evidence of that happening. Why those with advanced degrees in physics such as Mantik, Costella and Lifton fail to see this causes me to question their physics.

I think the wind would have to be ruled out as the bullet hole is several inches below the lapel. A hand-held hair dryer will definitely and easily cause a suit lapel to flip open. Too bad the documentary “Beyond the Magic Bullet” that purported to simulate the SBT shot did not have the ballistic mannequins clothed as were JFK and JBC and photographed from in front of JBC.

I must be doing it wrong. I can't get any of the threads to show, or does it just show topics?

As for the money, that is true. Sandy had charge of the funds. But I fault him greatly for his apathy to all of the years put and information put into that Forum, which Simkin had started. He just threw it away.

No, that notice does not mean you've been banned. It means the JFK Assassination Debate section of the EF is no longer operating, perhaps because they were unable to pay web-hosting bill.

All of the Ed Forum is gone, not just the JFKA section.

Given the piddling donations they received and the almost desperate pleas for money, I can't picture James Gordon absconding with the $83.12 or whatever there was. He always seemed like a very decent guy to me.

Mafia hits are usually crude affairs done up close and personal. The most sophisticated one I know of was the one on Bugsy Siegal. The Mafia also decides on hits of any significance by consensus. So many of the Mafia figures were wiretapped and under surveillance that any attempt to get consensus would have easily been detected. A proposed assassination of Tom Dewey was vetoed because it could not get consensus and would bring down a lot of heat on everybody.

Intelligence organizations like to use organized crime for their extensive networks and moral ambiguities. The OSS used Lucky Luciano’s outfit to guard the NY docks from German saboteurs and to resist Mussolini in Italy. Mafia connections were probably the link to Jack Ruby. But which intelligence agency?

By the way, Hoffa still went to prison.
