(PrisonPlanet)-In a new magazine interview, Bruce Willis spills the beans on his skepticism that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK, and suggests that the some of the same criminals who killed Kennedy are still in power today.
"They still haven't caught the guy that killed [President] Kennedy," Willis told Vanity Fair's June issue, according to the New York Post.
"I'll get killed for saying this, but I'm pretty sure those guys are still in power, in some form. The entire government of the United States was co-opted," adds the Die Hard star.
Is Willis' comment that the people who killed Kennedy are still in power a reference to the fact that George H.W. Bush was photographed at the scene in Dealy Plaza?

Is there any special significance in him saying that versus anybody else saying it. Does his fame make his statement any more reliable ?
Does his celebrity make him an expert ? Celebrities say contraversial things to keep their names in the papers. I view thier opinions in this light.

However, this is probably the biggest point. Bruce Willis has always been one of the major 'conservative' backers in Hollywood. He has always held a hard stance in line with the 'Republican' view on things. Well, this is a huge change and that is what the real story is.
It's just good that it is once again brought to the public view. That's all.

Well no matter is like Bruce, or don't like him. The truly sad thing is the fact that so much of the population looks up to these mega stars. The dumbing down of the American Public is getting worse by the day, just check out how awful the major news networks are and junk on TV. Take it for what it is, but the sad reality is that lot of people actually listen to anyone with fame and fortune. I think it is great that these people are starting to encourage people to ask questions and not just submit to authority. I truly think that there isn't much any other way to get through to some of the brain washed zombies out there.

They aren't!
Do you really think a whistleblower, seeking to explain any possible conspiracy surrounding the JFK assassination is going to sit there and wonder how best to get that information out?
"I know just the man, Bruce 'Die Hard' Willis"
The very thought makes me chuckle!
To be fair though, He hasn't made a claim he's been told anything but nonetheless, unless he has some form of source, he's just speculating - and we can all do that.
One thing he's quoted as saying was quite interesting -
"I'll get killed for saying this, but I'm pretty sure those guys are still in power, in some form. The entire government of the United States was co-opted,"
Really Bruce? How so? To be involved in something like that in any organisation would require a huge amount of trust. As it happened nearly 44 years ago, that would mean even the youngest of 'employees' is now reaching retirement age. I realise that doesn't prevent it but lets face it, if you're planning to do something like this, you aren't going to use people with limited track records (irrespective of whether you're the CIA, Mafia, Soviets or any other group). No, you're going to use well established assets and those people are either very old or dead now.
My suggestion to Bruce: If you want to talk about conspiracy theories, feel free, its your right, but maybe post on something like this (under an assumed name) rather than in the media where you'll just be considered a crackpot.
