 I am not messing with you. I don't think you care to know but there is plenty of documentation outside of the propanda of the time and what is taught in schools. 
 These idiotic conspiracies are fxxking dumb. 

Are there advance signs for such big events? Always. But there’s a reason there is an expression “hindsight is 20/20”. There’s another issue here. Both luck & incompetence are constant forces in the real world.

Take just a few months ago. 

Trump doesn’t turn his head or the shooter is slightly more competent and he’s dead.

Fast forward 50 years and you can see some conspiracy about how the shooter *intentionally* missed. There’s *zero* evidence that’s the case.

And yet, Trump lives.
