Was lee Harvey oswald a good scapegoat?

No, actually he was a pretty lousy scapegoat. Scapegoats are not supposed to be really guilty, as he clearly and obviously was.

Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill John F. Kennedy?

Lee Harvey Oswald killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy at Dallas Texas, while JFK was riding in a motorcade with his wife on the left, and the governor of Texas in the front seat with his wife at his side. Oswald killed JFK at 12:30 p.m at the Dealey Plaza and wounded the governor of Texas.

Did Lee Harvey Oswald have a security clearance?

Yes, he had a clearance for Confidential material which is the lowest security clearance available. It does not require a full background check, but was all that he needed to operate a radar system.

Who can prove lee Harvey oswald killed John F. Kennedy?

There is so much proof, it comes from more than one person. Try Googling "jfk assassination mcadams" as the McAdams .edu site is the best site on the net for real info about the assassination.

Was Lee Harvey Oswald gay?

There is some evidence to suggest he was.

In addition, Headquarters asked the Mexico City Station to bear in mind while interviewing Ruyle's source that Lee Harvey Oswald is a homosexual.12

This sentence is sourced to a dispatch from the CIA Director to the Mexico City Station.

Was Lee Harvey Oswald alone in killing JFK and where was he when he killed JFK?

Apparently, yes, from the Texas Schoolbook Depository.

Theories that Oswald did not act alone don't really hold up to investigation. Oswald was a man who never fit in; no matter what he tried, he always ended up alienating himself from the "group". The likelihood that he could cooperate or coordinate this activity with another person or persons is very remote. He had the training, the skill, and the means to carry it out all by himself. Most of all, after all of his failures, he had the motivation to make this grand gesture to show the world that he had what it takes.

How did JFK really die?

In the end, all forms of death can be called "heart failure" or "brain failure", take your pick. If Oswald's second shot, which came out his neck, had not killed him, the third shot certainly did, as it took out perhaps a third of his brain, spraying it forward and to the right. This cased the famous reverse "back and to the left". I think of a death as being the time the *person* is irretrievably lost. When his brain was exploded, the "circuitry" that held the pattern "John F. Kennedy" was obliterated.

Technically - John Fitzgerald Kennedy died from hypoxia - or lack of oxygen to the brain. The last shot that tore his scalp open (the reason that Jackie crawled out of the convertable becasue she saw and retrieved a small piece of Kennedy's skull) was not the most serious shot - it was the first shot that entered his upper back - went through his spinal chord and exited the knot in his tie. However the President died from the wound to his brain - as his brain was unable to promote oxygen to itself. However the cause of the hypoxia was a gunshot wound to the head. To be exact - all humans can ONLY die from hypoxia - when your brain simply stops working due to lack of oxygen. But there is always a cause for hypoxia that is used as the single determining cause of death. And death is defined as the complete and total lack of health.

Was lee Harvey oswald left handed?

no he was right handed and the rifle founded to be his is made for a left handed marksman.

Was lee Harvey oswald a communist?

I have been unable to find out what, if any church he attended as a child but as an adult Lee Harvey Oswald portrayed himself as a Marxist, and stated that "the best religion is Communism".

Was Lee Harvey Oswald a freemason?

I don't think so, but it is possible.

I spoke to JFK on the ouija board, and asked him if it was the secret service that killed him. He said no, that it was "Ozzy". I asked if he was working alone or if he was working for someone else, and he said "Mason". Based off of this, I would say that Lee Harvey Oswald was either a freemason, or at the very least had some connection to the masons.

Was Kennedy killed by the mob?

No. Although Lee Harvey Oswald publicly claimed that he was a 'patsy', he never claimed just who he was a 'patsy' for...

How can we open a truly unbiased investigation to determine Lee Harvey Oswald's innocence?

The answer is difficult, and requires some knowledge of the case, to truly appreciate the importance of the matter, as the true perpetrators and their heirs in power have had enough influence to drastically change the course of history. Kennedy's death, for example, slowed down efforts to thaw the Cold War and allowed the Vietnam Conflict, which Kennedy was planning to wind down, to erupt into a full-blown war profitable to the military-industrial complex, while devastating to the average American. You need to know that Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and charged with the murder of President John F. Kennedy (d. Nov. 22, 1963) before 24 hours passed. Oswald insisted he was innocent. Oswald's own murder occurred on Nov. 24, when he was being transferred to another jail, at the hands of a Dallas nightclub owner and known police fixer for Mafia Don Carlos Marcello of New Orleans -- Jack Ruby -- who later stated that persons in "high positions" were responsible( see YouTube excerpt). The FBI directed all investigations to the singular task of proving Oswald was guilty. Evidence was tampered with. A palm print of Oswald's for example, was found inside a section of the "killer rifle" after Oswald was murdered -- yet the FBI in D.C. had found nothing on the rifle, including that section, before Oswald's murder. The mortician, however, said the FBI came to Oswald's casket and took finger and palm prints from Oswald after his death, taking "a long time" to do so. He stated he had difficulty removing the ink from Oswald's hands afterwards (If you look, you can find the censored History Channel series --"The Men Who Killed Kennedy"--"The Guilty men" "The Smoking Gun," and "The Love Affair" [in 5 segments]). In addition, Oswald's known or suspected connections with US government agencies were downplayed or denied. Many important records from Oswald's military past were destroyed. During the eight of the Cold War, Oswald 'defected' to the Soviet Union, supposedly gave information about US radar to the Russians, yet returned almost three years later to the US with a Russian wife -- and was not arrested. He received a new passport in New Orleans in just 24 hours, even though his application stated an intention to visit Russia. The former Customs agent who expedited this action has been located. researcher Joan Mellen has also acted on information given by such witnesses as Judyth Vary Baker to locate evidence that Oswald was working with Customs in anti-Castro operations. Mellen supports the much-maligned New Orleans DA, Jim Garrison. A new, enormous book by V. Bugliosi states Oswald is guilty, yet Bugliosi dismisses several new witnesses (he wrote disparagingly of Baker, for example, over several pages,yet never interviewed her, )and ignores important new evidence. Earlier, the HSCA (House Special Committee on Assassinations) concluded that a non-important shot was fired from the Grassy Knoll, in addition to the sots apparently fired from Oswald's building, but did not have time or money to investigate further. Similarly, the Warren Commission, before it, accepted false statements concerning Oswald, such as about a woman called Sylvia Odio, from witnesses who later were proven (after the report was already published) to have lied. Information from new witnesses, such as Judyth Vary Baker, and new records, such as those found by Jefferson Morely regarding Oswald's probably being involved with the CIA, as well as fresh evidence from Lt. Col. Dan Marvin (Ret.) who was asked by the CIA to murder a witness who had films showing the faking of autopsy findings on President Kennedy, need to be placed in the public record. In addition, several persons, most notably mafia hitman James Files, have confessed to being involved directly in Kennedy's murder, yet have never been properly investigated. In fact, these witnesses and their statements/ confessions have been officially ignored. According to Baker (and supported by statements by New Orleans D A Jim Garrison, who brought out the only trial in the case -- retold in the Oliver stone movie "JFK" as well as in Garrison's book "On the Trail of the Assassins" and in investigator Jim Marrs' book "Crossfire"), Oswald infiltrated an assassination ring, into which he was drawn purposely in order to implicate him and frame him. There is some evidence that Oswald even tried to warn of the impending assassination. He may have been a man who knew too much, and therefore had to be silenced. Media efforts come forth annually to prove a "magic bullet" killed Kennedy without any damage to itself, going through two persons and smashing hard bone in the process, ignoring the Zapruder film showing Kennedy's head thrown violently backwards, just as a spurt of light can be seen emerging from the area of the Grassy Knoll. Several witnesses said they smelled gunpowder. Since the wind was blowing hard toward the building where Oswald was located, behind JFK, gunpowder smell likely would not have come from the building. However, the smell of gunpowder was reported at the Grassy Knoll. Films show many people running up the Grassy Knoll in search of the assassin. Obviously faked autopsy photos of Kennedy's skull, and many other factors, point toward the need for opening a new, unbiased investigation into the matter, before witnesses such as Baker, Marvin, and Files are dead. All three have expressed willingness to testify before Congress, and supporting witnesses have also stated their willingness to stand with them. Official records will not be released before they are, most likely, deceased -- and such records may not reveal the truth, anyway. However, if enough petitions are presented, signed by enough people, they might have enough impact. Several groups are sponsoring such petitions. Look for them on the Internet. It may be too late for justice for Kennedy, but it is not too late for the truth. No history book or website should identify Oswald as "the assassin." "Accused assassin" is preferred, being more accurate. Oswald never went to trial. Marina Oswald, his wife, now believes that her husband was innocent. Marina stated many things out of fear that she would be deported. Witnesses who did speak out, such as dallas Police Officer Roger Craig, had their lives ruined or were actually murdered. Baker had to seek political asylum due to harrassment, and Col. Dan Marvin had to defend himself in a financially ruinous trial, from which he emerged the (now penniless) victor, justified. An examination of the history behind Oswald's Minox spy camera, the infamous "backyard photos" and how Oswald was placed in lineups, unshaven, beaten, and wearing a ripped shirt, alongside three men from the Dallas police department workforce wearing nice clothes with ties and jackets, should start to open your eyes. If you are interested in bringing these new witnesses, and the new evidence, before Congress, contact those groups collecting signatures. Contact your elected officials and tell them that justice must be served. Buy books such as "Crossfire," (Jim Marrs) "Expendible Elite --One Soldier's Journey into Covert Warfare" (Lt. Col. Dan Marvin), "On the Trail of the Assasssins" (Jim Garrison) and "Dr. Mary's Monkey" (Edward Haslam) to learn more details, and then do what you can do to help open a new Congressional investigation into "THE Crime of the (20th) Century." If enough people make enough squeaks, the squeaky wheel may get oiled. President Kennedy has been assassinated twice over: this slain president has no official government monument, no true memorial, created by the country he died for. One must ask why this has been neglected, and why the many records and pieces of evidence uncovered by the ARRB committee and researchers have not sparked an urgent and immediate cry for a new investigation, based on these living witnesses who now stand forth, and the stacks of new information and evidence pointing to Oswald's activities in New Orleans and Dallas that indicate he was penetrating an assassination ring, and had to be silnced at any cost. He was indeed silenced --with a mafia man's bullet--the first murder ever shown on television. "The truth will set you free." Your action will answer this question.

Who saw Lee Harvey Oswald on the 6th floor of the school book depository?

A few people claimed he was seen on the 6th floor a while before the shooting carrying what he allegedly said was "curtain rods" wrapped in a blanket. But a police officer who ran into the building immediately after the shooting, said he found and briefly spoke with Oswald in a lunch room several floors below. Oswald identified himself, and was drinking a soda. The officer said Oswald was calm, collected, and not out of breath as someone would be who had just run down the stairs from the 6th floor to that area of the building.

Was Lee Harvey Oswald fired from the Marine Corps?

No, his travel to the USSR resulted in a change to his discharge status, however. he was still a Marine on the day he died. "Once a Marine, Always a Marine".

Why wasn't lee Harvey oswald's casket draped with the American flag?

It might have had something to do with him defecting to the Soviet Union (resulting in his discharge from the Marines being changed to from "Honorable/Hardship" to "Dishonorable") and assassinating the President.

Why did the Warren Commission decide that John F Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald acting on his own?

All the physical evidence (weapons, prints, bullets and fragments) were tied to Oswald and no one else. No evidence was found to support the idea that Oswald needed or had any co-conspirators. He simply appears to have wanted to be famous, and nothing else he'd ever tried, worked. Including, I might add, a previous attempt to assassinate a celebrity (he was not tied to this until after the police found the evidence in his home after JFK's death).
