Why no, I've never done literally any research on this topic, but I'm pretty sure I've cracked this mystery.

    If you believe the official story on JFK, I have to ask how you summon the intelligence to breathe every few seconds.

      I had never really given it much thought, but after listening to the Blowback episode where they cover it, there really is no way the official story could be true

        I don't remember that episode tbh, I assume they go in depth on Castro's thoughts.

        Just watching the drama JFK by Oliver Stone was enough for me. JFK Revisited and other documentaries go much deeper, but just what's laid out in that movie makes it extremely obvious that the official story is hilariously false.

            I just mean that it was a subject that Castro was very passionate about. He studied the politics of the US, arrived at his own conclusions, and spoke about them for hours at a time.

          I think it was the last episode or two of season two. I think it was just part of the episode, but they go through the timeline of events, from Oswald's backstory to the end of the investigations. Including stuff like how the man that handled all evidence, etc. from the CIA during the investigation later turned out to have been directly involved in the events. The story only works if you look at it in a vacuum and ignore everything around it lol. I'll have to watch that though. I've definitely been more interested in the topic since learning a little about it

            I'd highly recommend it. Lots of great information in a very compelling package. I still laugh about the reveal that Oswald worked in a building kitty corner to three separate intelligence agencies.

      Well you see, the thing about the magic bullet is that it was magic. Duh! :very-intelligent:
