The Fed isn't private, it's the central bank of the US

its technically owned (on a pro rata basis) by the commercial banks of america. to have a commercial banking license you must buy into the fed.

from the fed website:

The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System

[The Federal Reserve] is considered an independent central bank because its decisions do not have to be ratified by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branch of government, it does not receive funding appropriated by Congress, and the terms of the members of the Board of Governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms

True but it's not like normal stock, they can't can buy/sell it nor does it give them any control. They can't change any laws, but they are however allowed to vote on a portion of the Fed's board. The dividends are one incentive to join (which is not compulsory for commercial banks)

Personally I think JFK's speech is aimed at the spectre of communism rather than bankers

no it doesnt give them control but when you look at who has been selected to chair the fed, you can clearly see that the interests of the members will be more favorably looked at than the interests of the people.

For instance current chair Yellen, sat back and watched it all happen in 2008 -

"arguments against trying to deflate a bubble outweigh those in favor of it"

the housing bubble could be large enough to feel like a good-sized bump in the road, but the economy would likely be able to absorb the shock

she cant be seen in any way to be an appointment chosen for public good, when she was so far wrong on the 2008 crash.

Oswald took the rifle to work in a paper parcel. The paper wrapping, the rifle, and three spent cartridges were found on the 6th floor. Witnesses saw a man closely resembling Oswald in the window with a rifle before the shooting and during the shooting saw the man firing from there. Most ear witnesses heard three shots from the TSBD. Oswald fled the scene and boarded a bus, then left the bus and boarded a taxi before returning to his rooming house where he remained for a matter of minutes before leaving zipping up his windbreaker. A Dallas cop was shot by a man matching Oswald's description and Oswald's jacket was found in a nearby parking lot. Oswald was observed ducking into the doorway of a shoe shop as if hiding from a passing police car before he continued up the street into a movie theatre without paying for a ticket. When he was arrested by Dallas cops he tried to draw and fire his revolver and when he was booked the same ammo used to killed the Dallas cop was in his pockets.
His rifle was proven to be the weapon that was the source of the bullet found on Connally's stretcher at Parkland Hospital and the fragments of a bullet found on the front seat of the limousine.
The trajectories of the shots that hit both Kennedy and Connally originated from the 6th floor window.
His revolver was proven to be the weapon that fired the fatal shots that killed the Dallas cop.
No reasonable person can doubt Oswald was the culprit and he acted alone.

and to the contrary

Oswald had no credible motive
More than three shots were fired
Shots were fired from more than one location
The sixth–floor rifle was inaccurate and unreliable
Oswald was not a good enough marksman
Oswald was not on the sixth floor during the assassination
Oswald did not fire a rifle on the day of the assassination
Some of the evidence against Oswald was manufactured after the event
Oswald was set up in advance
The crime was not properly investigated

He was pro-Castro and was enraged by US government policy toward Communist Cuba. Killing Kennedy as he passed below the windows of his workplace gave him a perfect opportunity to change history. From his writings Oswald believed himself to be destined to be major historical figure.

he was a CIA asset that was being lined up for insertion into cuba. his girlfriend juydth baker was a cancer scientist working on a way to assininate castro using cancer (she has admitted this in many interviews).

The majority of witnesses heard three shots.

actually 40 odd witnesses claim they heard shots from the grassy knoll.

ALL the below claim shots from that direction.

False. Two shots hit Kennedy and Connally and the source of their trajectories were the 6th floor window.

so explain the shot that went through the limo window from the front? and the witnesses to the inwards hole?

Stavis Ellis
H. R. Freeman
Richard Dudman
Evalea Glanges
George Whitaker (senior manager at ford, who saw the limo being worked on and windoscreen replaced)

or the doctors who gave evidence that there was a front entry shot to the throat before it was hacked open by the coroner?

or the acoustic evidence which led HSCA to admit the possibility of a grassy knoll shot?

The 6.5mm Mannlicher Carcano is an accurate and reliable rifle and was used for decades by the Italian military including two world wars.

the type of rifle itself may be accurate but the one found that day was not

The US army and FBI testing on it proved this as they found

Shims had to be applied to the telescopic sight before the rifle could be aimed.
Even after the telescopic sight had been repaired, it proved unreliable and inaccurate.
The condition of both the bolt and the trigger pull meant that the rifle could not be aimed accurately.

Oswald was trained and qualified as a marksman during his stint in the US Marines. Shooting three shots in about 6 secs from less than 100 yards is well within the capability of even an amateur shooter.

i'll agree with this. i think he was probably a good shot having been a marine and CIA asset.

The man seen in the window closely resembled Oswald and the testimony of witnesses who saw him in the window and saw him shooting the rifle was the basis of the Dallas Police APB in the minutes after the shooting.

Yet the mac wallace fingerprint is still ignored. word of mouth gets a man arrested, physical evidence gets another ignored.

The parafin test used on Oswald was used as a ruse by police forces to obtain confessions and at the time was not a reliable test of whether a suspect had fired a weapon. The presence of Oswald in the 6th floor, the use of his rifle in the shooting, the presence of cloth fibres from his shirt and his palm print on the weapon and the testimony of his coworkers that he was last seen on the 6th floor plus his noted absence from the TSBD following the assassination all point to his guilty.

Howard Brennan was the one who claimed to see him, yet failed to recognise him later that day?

TSBD employee Carolyn Arnold placed him at either the 1st or 2nd floor at time of shooting.

also

Neutron activation analysis confirmed the absence of incriminating quantities of gunpowder residues on Oswald’s cheek, and demonstrated that the rifle he was accused of firing would certainly have deposited such residues.

What evidence was manufactured and by whom and how?

There is little doubt about the paper bag. the miraculous intact bullet was also introduced into evidence illegally.

By whom and how? To frame Oswald would have required the co-operation of thousands of people all of whom would have had intimate knowledge of the conspiracy and none of whom talked.

Well just look at who benefited most to answer that. Its the same person who used every avenue to keep the investigation off track. who's estate to this day keeps trying to hush and cover up. hell the man even had a terrible nickname - 'lying lyndon'

at a party in Dallas the very night before the shooting, he told his mistress (madaline brown) that those kennedy SOBs will never embarrass me again.

if you look at who attended that party, you have the 'who?' right there. add in the power of prescot and george snr bush through the CIA and you have the 'how?'.

even the head of the commision was CIA - alan dulles!

Seems to me with that kind of power involved, covering it up wouldnt be too hard a job.

its very interesting to take a look at the murders of those with links, in the years after the event (so many that even the house select committee on assassinations had to look into it)

Yes it was.
The Dallas PD did a competent job and arrested the right man. All the evidence points to Oswald's sole guilt.

that is a matter of opinion really, as it is still officially an unsolved murder case. we cant really judge the dallas police on a case that never got solved.
