50 years ago president Kennedy was killed and to this day we still don’t know who did it. The official story that Oswald shot him from the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository defies the laws of physics. There are a lot of conspiracy theories but we don’t yet have any way to determine if any of them are true. All we really know from the Zapruder film is that Kennedy was shot from the Grassy Knoll. Maybe someday we will know the truth.

And your point is…?
Was General Walker shot from the grassy knoll, too?
Get a CLUE! Try reading a history book.
Was Officer Tippit shot from the grassy knoll, too?
NO!
Oswald escaped detection and was even allowed to leave the school book building from where he took those shots at JFK. Oswald went home and got his hand gun but then decided to walk around town. So in comes Officer Tippit who stopped Oswald to question him (presumably) about his poorly concealed hand gun. Oswald then shot Tippit and finished him off with a shot to the head once the officer was down. Oswald did it in front of witnesses and was then somehow tracked to a movie theater where Oswald was arrested. It’s important to know that all this happened before anyone in law enforcement even knew who Oswald was or that he had only hours before taken shots at the President.
No grassy knoll. But then you’d know this if you bothered to watch educational TV (as I’m pretty sure you have no idea what history books are).
There are some who believe Tippit was ties up in the assassination – I haven’t delved into this, but:
A witness says there was a police officer on the grassy knoll with a gun
Tippit’s nickname with the force? Jack or JFK cuz he looked so much like the president
Why did he go up to Oswald? Different part of the City, Oswald had changed his clothes, etc
Tippit used to work for the movie house where Oswald was caught
There was a witness that said that Oswald, Ruby and Tippit used to have breakfast together
Remember that autopsy picture of JFK staring up? Umm, didn’t he have an eye shot out and other noticeable damage to the skull?
Lot’s of questions and we’ll never have answers
Oswald did it alone.
Just look. If there had been a conspiracy, it would have come out by now…
Oswald just happened to work in that building and had the gun for a long time. If Bobby and Jacqueline accepted the obvious (regardless of why), then I am happy to spend my time collecting loose tin foil for more important projects.
Read Vincents Bugliosi’s book on the matter. Its dispositive of the issue.
I agree.
Only a crackpot allows himself to be drawn into implausible arguments that are not supported by any facts.
Say what: I notice how intelligent you sound when supporting my posts with your complimentary analysis.
Do you think that is a coincidence or what?
………….What??
Two new facts. One placing reasonable doubt as we do not have sound recording of how many shots were actually fired (audio believed until now to be from the scene turns out to be from 2.5 miles away and totally unrelated). Second is to anyone scientifically minded a proof positive Oswald haven’t done it: bullet disk shown on recently released original Kennedy head x-rays. It is of wrong caliber vs. Oswald’s gun. Bullet that left that disk in Kennedy’s head couldn’t have been fired from Oswald’s gun. Not speculative, perfectly documented and measurable. Fact.
Was Oswald part of it? Definitely. Did he shoot at the Kennedy? Other evidence sez’ – yes, his bullet hit president in right shoulder and continued on perfectly straight and plausible trajectory to hit front panel of the car. But new evidence sez’ that he did not fire the killing shot and that there was at least one more shooter.
Take my word for it, George H. W. Bush was not in Dallas on 11/22/63.
Says you.
Whatever.
The United States House of Representatives Select “Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was established in 1976 to investigate the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. The Committee investigated until 1978 and issued its final report, and concluded that Kennedy was very likely assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Select_Committee_on_Assassinations
Plus E Howard Hunt told you who was involved. If you don’t want to believe, that’s your issue.
MAN!!!!!—Thats the lamest piece of crap I’ve read in a long time:
“The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The committee was unable to identify the other gunmen or the extent of the conspiracy.” /// In other words, they maintain a belief without any other supporting evidence except (maybe) an analysis of acoustic evidence?
BWHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Committees. Even more worthless than the individuals who serve on them. Pablum for those who like pablum.
Yea, verily.
I’m compelled by the Power of Satan to add that even assuming such a conspiracy was true, to Quote My Bitch Hilliary: “What matter does it make?”
Ha, ha.
………………………………….time management.
Relax man, go make yourself a Peanut Butter sammich, you’ll feel better.
I’m in your camp Mc. Too many shootings of powerful men involved in racial equality and doves.
How do you get from the fact of “too many shootings” to the speculation/claim of any conspiracy?
america has too many shootings EVERY FRICKEN DAY OF THE YEAR. All conspiracies? ….. or too many idiots with guns? Place the emPHAsis where you may.
He was shot by a Communist named Oswald recruited by the Soviets and Cubans as retaliation for Kennedy’s attempt to kill Castro.
The conspiracy theories are because of the idiocy of that supreme idiot Arlen Specter, who invented the Single Bullet Theory.
I’m convinced it was a conspiracy involving Castro. Sadly I’ll miss the remembrance in Dallas because I’m in Miami this week with relatives.
The Cuban TV channels are covering this pretty exhaustively. FOX news is reporting on breaking news on Obamacare. Tough TV week for me but I have my iPhone to help me cope.
I understand your sadness of not being in Dallas for the remembrance, BUT…your f’in phone is a consolation and helps you cope. Man, you have problems, a phone…do you read what you type before you submit. All hail the Apple. Holy Shit.
Well………..to me…….Dallas’ humor is obvious.
Humor.
It separates people.
Can you guess into what groups?
((Seriously. …. and its not a “bad” thing. Just a thing.))
Dallas’s humor is the antithisis of humor, I bet he sleeps with his ithingy under his pillow. Not that there is anything wrong with that but…HE IS F’IN SERIOUS. I think you underestimate the bond some i people have with their uberlord.
Yeah, sorry, maybe a bit too righteous. That that torch is easy to hang onto. I’m gonna have a pb&j sandwich for dinner now. Treat myself with some soft white bread like the old days
Stop hating on me. I don’t care if you were violated with an iPhone. Let it go.
Sad day in history, the tears shed that day by the country and world would have filled a large pond. Jackie Kennedy would not remove her outfit with John’s blood on it, so all could see what “they” did to her husband.
I was seven years old in 63′. All through grade school and through some of middle school when my name was announced for attendance at the beginning of the school year I was reminded of the murder of JFK, my first and last name was followed by some teachers with the added name of Kennedy. I was also asked if I am a relative of the fallen President. Then Bobby was slain, I do remember that morning when I awoke to get ready for school. Terrible terrible terrible memories.
RIP, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Fifty years ago today.

It was H.W. Bush running the deal – with Oswald and the “Mystery Shooter” on the Grassy Knoll !!! So there was a CONSPIRACY but it was effectively covered up by Bush, who went on the head the CIA, America’s Dirty Tricks Agency !!!
Don’t forget Dr. Mary’s Monkey

“…a man who once taped an interview with Lee Harvey Oswald and was the executive director of the Information Council of the Americas. Alton Ochsner founded INCA in 1961 to “prevent Communist revolutions in Latin America by teaching the sordid truth about Communism to the Latin American masses … It was a right-wing propaganda mill loosely modeled on Radio Free Europe.”
“”…and Lee Harvey Oswald’s secret lover; and a plot to kill Fidel Castro with cancer causing monkey cells orchestrated by a right wing marriage between Carlos Marcello and Alton Ochsner, Sr. – the stealth viruses were then dumped in Haiti where they simmered for almost two decades before erupting into a worldwide epidemic of various cancers and AIDS.

Ok. Let’s say there were two shooters. Two people = a conspiracy.
So, there WAS a conspiracy (of Two People) to kill Kennedy.
What changes?

You limit it to two, and you are alone in that.
I really, really think the government killed him.

Kennedy and rejection of Operation Northwoods.
“”Operation Northwoods was a series of false flag proposals that originated within the United States government in 1962, but were rejected by the Kennedy administration.[2] The proposals called for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or other operatives, to commit perceived acts of terrorism in U.S. cities and elsewhere. These acts of terrorism were to be blamed on Cuba in order to create public support for a war against that nation, which had recently become communist under Fidel Castro.[3] One part of Operation Northwoods was to “develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington”.
“”Operation Northwoods proposals included hijackings and bombings followed by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate the Cuban government. It stated:
“”The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba and to develop an international image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere.

There are people who aren’t talking about a conspiracy (anymore):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjAk1JUWDMyRdDFSU3NVd29xWWNyekd2X1ZJYllKTnc#gid=1
Really?!? Is this an intentional troll? Physics says that the shots HAD to come from the 6th floor book repository. Three shots were fired by Oswald. The first missed, the second hit Kennedy in the throat and continued on to hit Connelly, and the third was a hit to Kennedy’s head.
Case Closed. (Which happens to be the title of a book by Gerald Posner… I recommend it).
Have you ever picked up the kind of rifle that Oswald supposedly used? I have. A gun store had one, so I picked it up and checked out how long it took to cycle the bolt a couple times. It does not have a slick action. As a matter of fact, it took about 40 years of trying after the death of J.FK. for anyone on the planet to shoot 3 shots out of that type of rifle in 6 seconds, which is the time the stuck microphone on a cop’s motorcycle provided as the time for the 3 shots.
He must have been really tight with his spotter. All Micheal Westony and Fiona like.
No moron, Physics says if you get shot in the front of the head, your friggin brains end up on the trunk of the car. If you get shot in the back of the head, you’re buying John Connolly a new suit.
Ooooh another book, well I guess that settles it then.
But, here he was shot in the side of the head but you can still see the front of the head…. What if he faked his death and is now living life as Chuck Schumer?
Dang, so no new suit for Johhnny Boy?….bummer.
Physics says if you get shot in the front of the head, your friggin brains end up on the trunk of the car.
Not exactly.
Physics says that if the pressure in a container of an incompressible fluid increases the effect of that pressure will be exerted in all directions. If the container fails the contents will exit the container on the side that fails.
The human skull is a container that is weaker in the front than the back. It is less likely to fail in a backward direction.
A rifle shot increases the pressure inside of the skull. The contents of the skull will move in the direction of skull failure. The intact portion of the skull will move away from the failure point, even if that direction is toward the rifle.
Well, all you children will have the chance to speak up next week when the new JFK assassination footage that shows the second shooter gets released:
http://thewrap.com/jfk-assassination-new-footage-producer-stephen-bowen-lee-harvey-oswald
I sorta kinda concur. We were shooting a small-calibre, high velocity rifle at a target fixed to a sandy, red clay bank. Dude shot, I got hit by something. “Man, your brass ejects hard”, I say. I shoot. I get hit by something. “What the fuck”, I say.
The projectile was entering the dirt and ejecting straight back at us. This was probably due to a nice seal with the clay components and absorbing the energy was also creating steam and pressure — The kinetic energy of the bullet used itself to kick back 180 degrees and pop us in the chest with mostly undamaged rounds.
Try watching PBS once in a while. NOVA and Frontline just did some excellent programs about JFK and his assassination. The (new) evidence is pretty clear.
It is now nearly irrefutable that the fatal shot to JFK’s head came from the rear and from the same general direction that Oswald was in. It is curious why the same caliber of bullet didn’t do as much damage when JFK was shot through the neck. But once a second/third bullet hit JFK in the head we can see the unmistakeable fatal damage that occurred because of JFK’s own skull which had to violently fracture (although not completely) in order to dissipate the energy.
JFK lunged back and to his left moments after the fatal bullet hit. And many doctors seem to agree that this lunge was due to muscle memory and/or a neurological response. It could also be due to Jackie trying to pull him out of danger too. Either that or she’s the one who shot him (not likely).
Personally, I don’t think there was any real conspiracy to kill the President. Although I do tend to agree that some horrible work was done after the fact that might help explain things. Things like, where is the head shot bullet? Or even, where are the remains of JFK’s brain?! But consider who was/is in charge and you just might understand that any conspiracy was really just attempts to cover up mass buffoonery!
But if there is any sort of conspiracy then try looking at the owners of the Federal Reserve — a private company that only services the government. In other words, FOLLOW THE MONEY! Try and recall that Kennedy was the one who tried reclaiming the money supply when he tried putting it back in the hands of the U.S. Treasury with things like silver certificates (bills that look just like Federal Reserve notes but with a little red ink instead of blue). Do you think that move didn’t make a few enemies out of some very powerful people?!
Yes, JFK had many enemies back then. And yes, there were many people who wanted to see him run out of office (almost like Obama is today). But few people actually wanted the man dead. And almost no one wanted to martyr a guy who, at best was only a mediocre President. And JFK was mediocre when you look at his record objectively. He just didn’t deserve to die since that mistake has now caused many people to think he probably would have gone on to becoming a great President. However, I say think again.
All in all, no President, no CITIZEN deserves to die like that. Especially when all they are trying to do is make the world a better place. If anything, this whole era might be a lesson in method that we are just now beginning to repeat! Because Isaac Newton said it best when he said, “for every action there is an equal and opposite REACTION.” So perhaps the Kennedy’s and his party forgot those laws (too).
So. You are talking about Nixon, right?
If you like your kids, you can keep your kids.
Fox News coverage today of the JFK assissination suggests that link to Obamacare
George Herbert Walker Bush and Nixon have given multiple, different accounts of “where they were”. EVERYONE alive that day knows “where they were”, EXCEPT GHW Bush and Nixon? I will go to my grave believing GHW Bush played a part in Kennedy’s assassination and GW Bush played a part in 911. The entire Bush clan is nothing more than disgusting elitist scum. I will sing and dance the jig when they die.
We can dig their skulls up and smoke pot out of them. And stow them right next to the meershums and the Regan 8-feed.
Ya sure. Let’s blame it on the Stay Puft Marshmallow man too!
Get your “scum” right before spouting off like that.
Just for starters, do you know where you were when 911 happened? Or do you only remember where you were when you first heard about it?! If you gave 2 different answers then maybe now you can realize that you might not be listening very closely to the answers of other people regarding the assassination of JFK. Remember, in those days radio and newspapers were still the primary news sources.
But then you want to bring up the Bush “clan” and how much you hate them. Are you really so sure they had something to do with JFK’s assassination? Where’s the proof? Their Yale Skull and Bones Society memberships? Or are you just giving into your left wing suspicion and RELIGION?
Sure! The Bush family is no great example of purity or even of great American values when you only look at their screw ups – or even at their historical privileged class status either. Few people would sanely argue that George “W” was all that bright. In fact, “W” was/is a complete moron when it comes to economic issues. There’s just no arguing it. But is that any reason to hate the man, just because he comes from a rich family and was trying to do the right thing? Can you really say Obama is any better when he won’t even negotiate?!
Of course, it is hard to overlook Prescott Bush’s Nazi ties that helped propel Adolf Hitler into power. But then it’s also hard to overlook Joe Kennedy Senior’s ties to prohibition mobsters, many of whom were guilty of gangland motivated murders (not all too unlike that of the dope dealers of today).
There’s plenty to hate. But then there’s plenty to praise too like Prescott Bush’s contribution to helping the United Negro College Fund and acting as chairman of the Connecticut branch in 1951. Even JFK pulled some political favors against all advice in his political circles to get Martin Luther King released from jail when King was incarcerated unjustly.
You really seem to be angry with the bankers and all the privileged upper class that seem to be selling this country to the dogs. And I would wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment too. However, are you at all sure you’re not in any small/large way a part of that problem?! For example, do you use credit cards or have an account at a large bank rather than do all your banking at a credit union? Or maybe you don’t think that your last Starbucks purchase didn’t hurt anyone. Or maybe you think the Democrats have all the answers. Think again!!!
Sure, there are a lot of things to hate in Washington and probably even more things to hate in the world of big business. I’m with you on that. But when you allow party politics to tell you what to hate (let alone, what to do or not do) then you’re not really helping anything get any better. Bitching and moaning and trying to get others to BELIEVE the same crap you believe is really not helping. Because when you do that – without facts – you’re really just PREACHING!

Aliens had John Wilkes Booth shoot Lincoln then put him in suspended animation until they needed him again. They thawed him out in ’63 and he was the second shooter. They faked Oswalds death and both are now in suspended animation waiting for the next time the aliens feel they need to take out a President.
Beware…
Makes perfect sense to me.
And I thought I was the only one who knew the truth!
Finally, I know the truth!
Oliver Stone didn’t include this in his movie, WHY NOT!!!!?????
Nice discussion! Here’s a great BBC documentary with many interviews and lots of additional info:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=rxUl4SL5U8A
Where the shots came from is not important.
The important question is who placed/hired Oswald to be in the school book depository and what was his getaway plan. He was apprehended with $6 in his pocket.
The Texas School Book Depository was a private company that leased the building. The TSBD was in the process of moving from another building a few blocks away.
During a social gathering, Oswald apparently overheard a neighbor or friend of a neighbor of the boarding house he was staying at say that there was an opening at the TSBD.
Meta conspiracy theories:
Every conspiracy theory that you have heard that makes you think Lee Harvey Oswald was not the assassin was started by Democrats. Every one. – Rush Limbaugh
Would someone please tell me why it matters if there was or wasn’t a conspiracy?
Because if , say, Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin was complicit in this terrible murder, I want them executed immediately.
It doesn’t. You would think after fifty years the bullshit mystique surrounding the image of Kennedy would have run its course. Not managing to bungle his way into a nuclear war (barely) and getting shot in the head are the only two accomplishments of his presidency. If he hadn’t gotten shot he would have been just another mediocre drugged up, lying, womanizing, office bugging, president. I guess we know why Bill Clinton looked up to him.
Well said.
You piece of shit. What an awful disrespect on this occasion.
Blow me.
Ha, ha. Good one Pedro. Blowing away the observation that even homophobia doesn’t have some humorous elements.
In the main: The Kennedys–Form over substance. Inherited wealth is usually put to evil ends. If not evil, then self involved. The Kennedys are not near as evil as the Koch brothers, but they are on that side of the equilibrium point. Their wealth should be taxed/grabbed/returned to the society from which they stole it. Just like all the other RICH.
RICH = CRIMINAL. ((For those still denying the math of this reality…RICH is defined and not exclusive to them while CRIMINAL does not mean all the time on every issue….. yes…. I know its hard.))
What respect did JFK show when he was alive?
No it shouldn’t matter at all if there was a coup. It can and should be done anytime you dislike the Prez…..Are you people fucking stupid?
Only if you believe it was a conspiracy.
The President was the second person that Lee H O attempted to assassinate according to notes found after Oswald was killed and one of two people Oswald killed that day. Oswald shot a cop 4 times in the body and finished him of with a bullet to the head execution style using a small revolver after he killed JFK.
The rifle he used was military surplus and cost all of $12.50 but tests show it is adequately accurate and that round happens to have a staggering ability to penetrate when using the old military style fmj pencil bullets. Oswald passed his marksmanship test for the military which means he hit the target 8 of ten times at 200 yards using iron sights. He used a scope to kill Kennedy. What ever you might say about Oswald there is no reason to think he lacked nerves of steel or was subject to buck fever.
Oswald’s motives were made glaringly clear in his notes. He was a devote communist with the values that implies who hated conservatives and capitalism. Kennedy was anti-communist as they came, a devoted Catholic, a capitalist, etc.
Seems odd to say it but Oswald’s values are more in line with current progressive Democrat values than JFK’s.
You go on line and listen to what JFK had to say and what Obama has to say now and you won’t find much overlap.
JFK said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
Obama has said and continues to say I’m here to redistribute the wealth.
JFK created the peace core.
Obama got the Noble peace prize and likes to drone people.
JFK spoke about doing the hard thing and started a program to put man on the moon in ten yrs.
Obama spent $600,000,000 to utterly fail at building a web site that should have cost less than a fraction of that and could have been built by 50 competent people according to competent people.
JFK took responsibility for what his people did and acted as a leader. He was an includer.
Obama says I heard about that on the news and it’s all their fault. He’s a divider.
JFK was transparent.
Obama talked about transparency.
People knew were JFK was coming from and could trust him.
Obama? Only if you are foolish.
Nuff said. We lost a great leader. Wish we had one now.
What exactly did Kennedy accomplish (actually do, sign or pass) again? He had good speech writers and the press didn’t talk about his little foibles. If they had he couldn’t have gotten elected dog catcher.
Kennedy, a Democrat, as fiscal conservative, calling for tax cuts to grow economy.

Wow, what a great president.
You do recognize that issuing certificates is the OPPOSITE of being a fiscal conservative?
You do recognize that lowering tax rates when they are too high is no more competent than raising them when they are too low?
Good. Nice to see you weight these issues in a conscious and deliberative manner.
Marksman is the lowest of the three awards given after qualifying on the range. When I was a boot, you couldn’t even graduate unless you at least a qualified Marksman.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marksmanship_Badge_%28United_States%29
“The U.S. Military’s and Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) Marksmanship Qualification Badges are awarded in three grades (highest to lowest): Expert, Sharpshooter, and Marksman”
“Like all Marines, Oswald was trained and tested in shooting and he scored 212 in December 1956, slightly above the requirements for the designation of sharpshooter.[23] In May 1959 he scored 191, which reduced his rating to marksman.[23][38]”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Harvey_Oswald
A mediocre shooter at best.
You’re delusional. What he did in Vietnam would qualify him for the death penalty if he were judged by the Nuremberg principles.
My memory fails me but didn’t Kennedy “say” he wanted an end to the War and the next week send in 50K more “advisors?” Very transparent move.
Everything on its head.
It is hard to find a more macabre example of America’s gun fixation.
