    Favourites: JFK and 9/11

    When I was a kid, the conspiracy theories of that era were non-political like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. 😄
    Went to the PJ show in Fort Worth 2 years ago and headed to Dealey Plaza the day before. There is no way Oswald acted alone.  If you go to the window he was in in the Book Depository he would have had a clear show of JFK coming towards him but waited until they made the turn and shot from behind.  No way.  Never believed Oswald acted alone.  Feel the new theory that the final kill shot came from the secret service's gun in the front seat accidently going off is most likely the truth.

    i would say im quite cynical about the moon landing.  i want to believe but i find the idea of having the technology to go to the moon and back over 50 years ago, while current technology companies are celebrating but getting folks into orbit around the earth.  suspicious.

    also the smiley face killer. haven't heard much about it recently but I know in the late 90s early 2000s it was a conspiracy theory about young men being killed near water ways and killer would leave a smiley face graffiti in the area.  there was a young man killed about 20 miles from my house that was part of the conspiracy theory when he was found dead near a creek after coming out of a bar late one winter night.  

    two NBA ones.   David Stern had the envelope with the Knicks marked so he ensured Patrick Ewing ending up in New York.  And this weekend Adam Silver orchestrated the Luka Doncic to the Lakers trade because tv ratings are tanking in the NBA
    I believe Oswald was the only shooter. I was there a few years ago like you said. My last trip before Covid. It was an unorganized many who had access to a rifle and saw an opportunity. 
    I haven't heard the accidentally SS shot theory before, but wouldn't that even suggest further Oswald acted alone, if the fatal shot was indeed an accident by secret service? Seems like way too much going on for it to an accident, and Oswald was part of a bigger conspiracy too.

    -Courtney having Kurt killed (That Soaked In Bleach doc makes a good-enough case for a conspiracy theory)
    -Obama having his chef killed (Who drowns while paddle boarding?) 
    -Jeffrey Epstein's suicide (Obviously) 
    -Moon landing as a hoax (Getting astronauts through that Van Allen radiation belt seems pretty risky)
    -Twin towers were brought down demolition-style (Building 7 wasn't hit with a plane, but collapsed in a similar manner as the ones that did)

    The one I give the most credence to is Epstein. He was totally killed by someone. The one I give the least credence to is the moon landing hoax (because I want to believe it really happened). 
    I'm about the only one in my family who believes Epstein killed himself. There's just too many people "they" would have to buy off to keep quiet in order to make that happen. To do all that and none of it gets out seems less likely than a guy who knows he will never be free again to just end his life.

    I thought it was the one that landed somewhere else with all the passengers because the one that crashed in PA was empty.
