Since everybody has an opinion on JFK assassination, I will offer mine. Joe Kennedy made a deal with the devil to get JFK elected. He bargained with the labor unions to get their members to vote for Kennedy. This is a well-known fact and not my opinion. Labor unions were strong at this time. I certainly don't know the terms He agreed to get their votes. 1960 was the closest election ever, up to that time. The unions and organized crime were hand/glove at that time. JFK appointed his brother Bobby as Attorney General and Bobby immediately announced a war against organized crime and proceeded to start several investigations into this matter. I don't know all the details, but these were the headlines. Ozwald was a nut case long before this happened. He got out of the Marines and moved to Russia where he met and married his wife. Not exactly the normal behavior of former Marines I know. It has been reported, I believe in sworn testimony, that Ozwald and Ruby were seen together several times. Ounce at Ruby's strip club. Jack Ruby was known to have Mafia connections as well as a connection to the Dallas PD. He certainly was a shady character at best. I don't think it would much of a stretch to think the mafia would reach out to Ruby, if they wanted to. JFKs trip to Texas was well reported on tv about a month in advance and there was concern about how He would be greeted by the Texas citizens. The Kennedy clan was not particularly liked in the that region of the country. To me, this is the most likely scenario to plan and accomplish the assassination. Both Kennedys were shot in the back of the head, a mafia trademark. To kill the snake, you chop the head off. JFK was the head. They dealt with Bobby 5 years later, after the dust had cleared. Just my take on this terrible event. For those of us who are the leading edge of the Baby Boomers, this was the end of our age of innocence.
