JFK, Lee Harvey Oswald- and 50 years of conspiracy nonsense

I am wearing my asbestos underwear for this one.

"Was Oswald really that good of a marksman? I have never believed that he could have been that accurate from that distance with a moving target. I never will either."

He was, and it was not a difficult shot.

Read “Reclaiming History” by Vincent Bugliosi; pages 1273-1280. He obliterates the LBJ claims. No, the photographic evidence does not show Johnson ducking before the shots were fired. (Why would he anyway if he was behind a plot?) There were five people in the LBJ car, a Texas Highway Patrol officer, Rufus Youngblood. Johnson, his wife, and Senator Ralph Yarborough whose relationship with Johnson was about as friendly as that between the Devil and Holy Water. Every one of them confirms the basic story of what happened. Were they all part of the grand conspiracy?

Your angle showed very minor deformation. This angle shows almost NO deformation. If you believe that went through flesh, or even ballistic gel, you have no clue.

That is NOT the bullet that is shown on virtually every published book and article. If you have that view of the bullet, then I assume you have the other views (such as the full view showing all the rifling marks and the bullet head? Can you print those, or do you just have this one? Also, the bullet you show is a larger caliber (even before the deformation) than the 6.5mm Oswald’s Mannlicher-Carcano was capable of firing. Look at the ruler and the bullet in your picture: That bullet looks a lot closer to .50 caliber than a 6.5mm.

Show me, please, where I ever mentioned LBJ?

[Karl Spooner]

Very few experts could make those series of shots in the time allotted. And they had the benefit of an accurate scope, which Oswald’s rifle do not have. It needed shims just to get it into the field of view.

Area Man Can Remember Exactly Where He Was, What He Was Doing When He Assassinated John F. Kennedy

[angryoldfatman]

I'm not a liberal. I do believe Rush is right, that libs used the assassination to further their agendas by assigning blame to THE VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY (shriek!).

This, IMO, is to deflect blame from a liberal who probably had the largest part in the assassination: Lyndon Baines Johnson.

That's my speculation of course. This is after I watched the Zapruder film and saw a large portion of the evidence that the Warren Commission put forward, along with contemporary testimony from Dan Rather on what he saw on the then-secret Zapruder film and other testimony from Connally, Tague, and credible eyewitnesses.

The Single Bullet Theory is the biggest joke since the 9/11 non-existent Pentagon plane attack. The theory would not exist if it weren't for the Tague wounding; it is a post hoc story made up by Arlen Specter then "supported" by psuedoscience and outright fiction.

The bullet is as pristine (or MORESO) than bullets fired into cotton wadding for ballistic testing purposes. CE399 was a set-up, just for ballistic test purposes. There is absolutely no way for a bullet to do what it supposedly did and remain in the observed condition.



As far as the bullet path goes, it's been a long time since anyone took the straight seating path seriously. BUT, the Zapruder film shows the different timing of JFK versus Connally hits which are usually handwaved away. And, there's still a problem with the trajectory between the President and Governor, even if the timing was correct (which it is not).

Not a difficult Shot?

obviously You have never visited Dealy plaza or the snipers nest.

“This was part of a running feud between the Kennedys and the Mafia”

You left out the most important part. The Mafia was essential to Old Joe’s plan to get his son elected. While there is no proof that JFK ever knew what was going on, he wouldn’t have been President WITHOUT the Mafia’s help. This was supposed to have bought them peace an quite. Unfortunately Robert Kennedy had other ideas. By then Old Joe was a zombie from a stroke, but as one of the Mafia heads said on an FBI tape recording, “if taking his life don’t mean nothing to him, then we take what he wanted most!”

“the biggest joke since the 9/11 non-existent Pentagon plane attack”

Let me explain this before I get raked over the coals.

Some Frenchie made a claim that no plane hit the Pentagon; he claimed it was a missile. His big evidence was lack of visible plane debris.

What a dumbass. A big joke theory from a lamebrained clown.

[SoCal Pubbie]

The bullet path was not straight, because the shot went through Connelly first, but it did NOT make magical contortions per the likes of Oliver Stone. The jump seat in which Connelly sat was neither in a straight line, nor the same elevation, nor were the two bodies facing directly forward as often shown.

The comment about liberals not being so smart was not directed towards anyone who disputes the facts, but those of the ilk of Mark Lane and Oliver Stone who question the intelligence of conservatives while misrepresenting facts themselves.

Finally, Connelly’s wounds are only possible if the bullet hit JFK first.

[NRx]

Apologies. That was supposed to go to #42. I need to be more careful in responding to posts. There are a lot coming my way.

[ought-six]

I remember that story. Too bad for the Frenchman, but there were eye witnesses to the plane hitting the Pentagon. And, of course, there was aircraft debris.

I guess if that ruler is in centimeters instead of inches then it would make more sense.

[razorback-bert]

Zapruder was connected to a group of Dallas businessmen, who did favors for the CIA. I found that once chasing links, but didn’t save it.

In his last concert appearance pictured below, here is Oswald ripping into a snarling version of "Howlin' For My Darlin'".

With the B-Side, "I'm a Patsy for You."
