We are having a field day of documentaries on the Kennedy assasination here ( UK ) at the moment. Some people have gone to extraordinary lengths to find the people and film of that day in Deeley Plaza. The documentary shown last night was about who might have been behind Lee Harvey Oswald. To get the background events 1. The Bay of Pigs disaster had just happened annoying the Cubans 2. The Confrontations with the Soviets over missiles in Cuba. 3. The Kennedy's not only got Mafia support to get elected but then systematically chased down the top mafiosi. That's 3 large and powerful organisations with a strong motive. It is now known the Mafia had a plan to assasinate Kennedy. This plan had been thwated by circumstances in Chicago and Tampa but did it succeed in Dallas ? That may explain why Jack Ruby shot Oswald to stop him talking. Sadly Ruby's offer to spill the beans if he could be transferred to a safer prison near Washington DC was turned down by politicians ? ( the long arm of the mafia ? )
