I first heard that President Kennedy was assassinated in French Class. We were all shocked. That evening my rock group (The Archons) were playing its first concert at a school dance and we sucked hugely. My rock and roll career never recovered from that point.

As you might know, there were many conspiracy theories as to who was responsible for his death. One of the most popular was the second shooter in "The Grassy Knoll". A documentary of this demonstrated that a bullet had hit a stop light and splintered wounding someone underneath a bridge. There were sounds of a fourth gun shot on a police radio and someone saw a uniformed person with a badge and weapon in the Grassy Knoll. The second assassination commission (1976 to 79) found enough evidence (95%) to support the theory of a second shooter.

There were strong efforts to debunk these theories by "expert" opinion with references to "the thoroughness" of "The Warren Report"(The first assassination commission). 

Through all of these commissions, many of the files on Lee Harvey Oswald remained classified. Some of these may be about his deployments and activities in Japan while with the Marines in the 1950s.

I saw a biography on Oswald a few days ago. What struck me was that he could be pro communist and anti communist at the same time. He was robotic in his answers concerning communism and he didn't have much passion about his favourite subject.

Oswald had an incredible desire to go to Cuba during the summer of 1963. Where did that come from? Was he going to befriend Castro or assassinate him?

I learned from a book review of "The Perfect Assassin" that Oswald was connected to a military mind control project called MK-Ultra. Individuals who were hynotized in this project had difficulty remembering even the most mundane things. For example, Oswald couldn't remember that he had bought and used his own rifle.

The usual portayal of Oswald is that of a nutcase, but we all know that nutcases with rifles can kill anything that moves in a targetted area like the children at Newtown school in Connecticut.

I believe that Oswald was an assassin like in "The Manchurian Candidate". However, I don't believe that he killed Kennedy. I believe that Kennedy's death was an accident from the gun of a Secret Service Man. 

After 50 years, we are getting closer to the actual facts concerning the assassination.
