New Kennedy Info

This slipped by me the other day but a cache of Kennedy Assassination info was released this past month. One of the things that struck me was an transcript of an alleged conversation between Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby:

Meanwhile, there's some new information about the RFK shooting too. Apparently 14 total shots were fired far more than could be accounted for by a single gun:

Not sure what all can be done about any of this at this point. As is the case with some many of these mysteries, too much time has elapsed to expect any definitive new answers.

I find it tempting to believe that the two assassinations were the work of the same set of people....
They seem to have been able to carry out both executions in a very public manner yet remain shrouded in mystery somewhere three or four cutouts back....
The truth is i have a very great suspicion that LBJ was one of those conspirators.
I have always thought that those who gained from the deaths of both were the ones who had done the plotting to get them killed.
The arrows then point directly to the president (LBJ)and the CIA who kennedy was also after,as well as the mob.It is well understood fact that the CIA has worked through the mob for many different tasks that were beeter kept "Off the books".
I have also heard via rumour that the Kennedys Father had made a deal with the mafia to get Jonh Kennedy into the white house......the veracity of which i do not know.....
The brothers then reneged upon it.
The truth remains unknowable without the connecting links......There is too much disinfo to get to the nexus of the whole thing.....making me think that these assassinations were minor way points in a much more immense agenda than we will ever be able to fathom.

I have also heard that Joe Kennedy had negotiated with the Mafia to make sure the Chicago vote went to JFK. When Bobby Kennedy (as US Attorney general) initiated a crack-down on organized crime, I can well understand how the dons might have been a little miffed.

Now, I know there was very little love lost between Kennedy and Johnson but I hardly think that LBJ was capable of conspiracy to murder. Everything else we know about the man simply doesn't bear that out.

I heard about the LBJ theory about a year ago and thought...maybe. He was known to be somewhat of a hard ball character in Texas.....but to assassinate someone? I suppose it's possible but unlikely imo.
I never put any stock in the Castro theory either.
I think the mob would have the balls to do it. Some of those guys were freaking nuts from what I have read.
