>> Bugliosi looked at actual evidence. Unlike those conspiracy books you are relying on.
Many people have looked at the same evidence and evaluated it quite differently, which of course is a very common phenomenon.
Yeah, I watched a documentary on him the other night. I think he’s the kind of mobster the other mobsters wanted to be.
I decided though to give Bugliosi a read, so as to hear his version. I heard him speak on a show once and he said (I paraphrase):
For those who do not believe the Warren Report, I ask: Have you ever read it, all of it?
He has a point.
“Who is Carlos Marcello?”
He was a “businessman” in New Orleans.
He was also an associate of my grandfather and a couple great uncles in New Orleans.
Marcello showed-up at my grandfather’s funeral to pay his respects.
>>Harold Weisberg, Mark Lane and Sylvia Meager all were pioneering critiques of the Warren Commission. Their books are the solid research initially done to disprove the Warren Report. Go with them, avoid the nut jobs.
Most devotees of the WCR and Bugliosi simply refuse to read the research of the authors you mention, which is regrettable because so much of the Commission Report has been proven to be erroneous.
/s
My grandfather insisted that Marcello was a “businessman.”
And not just in passing, but looking my dad straight in the eye and saying “Marcello is a businessman, you got that?”
>> For those who do not believe the Warren Report, I ask: Have you ever read it, all of it?
He has a point.
Perhaps. But since the Warren Report is, I believe, a 10-volume set of books, I doubt that hardly anyone, including Mr. Bugliosi, has read all of it.
Is there a "Cliff's Notes" version?
He had the advantage of being in NO.
1. Luis Alvarez, a Nobel Prize physicist, showed through experiment how what I described can occur. He also did a lot of analysis on other aspects of the assassination including the Zapruder film. Here is a description by another successful physicist of how Alvarez was by far the smartest person he knew.
2. Bugliosi pointed out that at the frame of the Zapruder film where Kennedy's head is hit, his head moves forward slightly. Therefore, since his head was hit with only one bullet, and was spraying out brain matter, the subsequent backward motion of his head, is entirely consistent with this theory.
I checked the book earlier. It says that doctors declared him dead about 1:00. I could not find anything about 42 minutes.
See Page 71, footnote.
You’re right. The footnote has an error. I was thinking that maybe Bugliosi originally wrote 24 minutes (which would make sense: 12:36 - 1:00), and somehow he or the secretary who transcribed his handwritten manuscript got it backwards. But the New York Times article (from November 23rd, 1963) that he refers to in the same footnote quotes the doctors as saying that Kennedy was on the emergency room table for about 40 minutes. Of course the doctors probably over-estimated, but Bugliosi should have caught that. And why would 40 turn into 42?
>> Is there a “Cliff’s Notes” version?
Yes. It is a thick, case bound compilation of the Commission’s investigations and findings, and is what people usually are referring to when they speak of the Report. I have a copy, given to me by my father, who swallowed the findings of the Report “hook, line, and sinker.” It was my reading of it that prompted me to study the investigations and findings of those who are derisively referred to as “the conspiracy theorists.”
Of course, but some people look at evidence and say the world is flat. Not every opinion equally valid.
The fact of the matter is that conspiracy books have routinely lied about what the evidence is, and continue to repeat long debunked theories. You will not understand the evidence in this case from reading conspiracy books. They are excercises in confirmation bias.
The hole is in the top right of the head, not the back. It comes from the pressure wave created by the bullet causing the head to explode. It isn't simply opposite the bullet entry.
There's is a ton of available evidence, real evidence about this. Things like this are just ignoring it all to stick with some preconceived notion.
Then why on Earth did Zapruder and his secretary not report it!??!?
Carlos Marcello was the Mafia Chief in New Orleans, the oldest Mafia group in the US and the only one,at one time, that did not have to get any clearance from the National Syndicate for permission to do anything. He was the single most powerful crime leader in the US at one time.
>>They are excercises in confirmation bias.
Precisely how multitudes of people characterize the Warren Report!
