Like the sinking of the Titanic, the assassination of John F. Kennedy has been a subject of fascination for me over the years.
I remember perusing Mom and Dad's copy of the Warren Commision Report with great interest. I remember, earlier than that, repeatedly combing through the National Geographic issue shortly after the assassination and developing a crush on Caroline Kennedy who would have been about my age at that time. In Jr. High School I wrote a short paper based on Mark Lane's assertion of a second assassin or more and conspiracies surrounding the event.
The presentation given here has a way of objectively questioning dependence on the Zapruder film as definitive of the sequence of what happened. Holland pins down the timing at closer to 11 seconds, rather than 6 seconds using sound reasoning.
It takes time to watch, but is worth it. On a side note, this past summer I had the privilege of walking laps around the inside of Pembroke Mall in Virginia Beach with Secret Service Agent Win Lawson's widow (during vacation accompanying my father-in-law for his daily walking exercise). Win is mentioned at some length here, and his stated conviction that there was a gap between the first shot and remaining shots is vindicated by Holland's research.
I’ve heard that before. Certainly reasonable. Needs evidence though. Not just assumptions, however reasonable.
“Their basis for doing so is not unassailable.”
Correct, but it is not also not refuted.
65+ years ago you can claim anything you want to claim.
The 5 years later House Select Committee on Assassinations came to the conclusion that there was indeed a conspiracy to assassinate JFK.
The single bullet theory never said all wounds were caused by a single bullet - only one series of wounds - which is backed by physics.
this has been appropriated to claim this “theory” was that all of the wounds were caused by one bullet to create a phony conspiracy / cover up.
“The origin of today’s decline of America is from 1963.”
My guess would have been several:
The creation of a Federal Income Tax.
The Russian Revolution
FDR
The substantial growth Of the Military Industrial Complex during and after WWII.
JFK assassination which begat LBJ.
Robert McNamara
The snowball exploded with LBJ and made hin USA quagmire.
I can agree with the lack of drama on the part of the presenter, but to say he says, “there is credible evidence that he didn’t start filming until some seconds after the first shot was fired,” is a misrepresentation of his words. It is clear to all concerned that Zapruder started filming before the first shot. It is also clear that the film has a jump, either due to a pause during filming or edits afterward.
The Nix Film is available on YouTube. Another nothing burger.
The Dallas PD report and associated documents make for some interesting reading. I think interestingly, it estimates the distance Oswald would have shot at Walker as being 35-40 yards. Walker was sitting stationary at a table framed by a window on the ground level of his home. Police theorized that the shooter rested his rifle on property fence adjacent to an alleyway that ran between Walker's property and a church parking lot.
The American public has been made to believe that the same Oswald that reportedly made multiple shots on a moving target from an elevated window in November '63 was unable to hit a man seated at a table a little over 100 feet away in April of '63.
Just out of curiosity, I looked up Edwin Walker's address at the time of the shooting. It's currently up for sale, for just under $4M. No mention of the *history* is made in the "Property Details."
She was 5 days away from her 6th birthday when her father was assassinated. She was born Nov. 27th, 1957. He was assassinated Nov. 22nd, 1963.
Why? The oblong wound in Connolly’s back shows the bullet was fired from behind, and it was tumbling after striking JFK first. The deformed shape of the “single bullet” proves it was not “pristine.” The actual configuration of JFK’s position and posture relative to the jump seat, coupled with Connally turning back toward the president aligns the shot perfectly with the sixth floor window. Where’s the problem?
“(RE: Oswald’s Marine marksmanship training and ejection patterns of bolt action rifles) for which there is absolutely NO supporting evidence, yet he states them as indisputable fact.”
At some point during the investigation Oswald’s USMC foot locker was located at the residence, and it contained Oswald’s range log while in the corps.
I have read and heard that since the mid 70s. It might have in the Warren report.
Uncut Interview - JFK's Emergency Room Doctor : Dr. Robert McClelland
Rose Cheramie found on the highway thrown from a vehicle in Evangeline Parish. Said she was traveling with three foreign assassins from Miami to Dallas. Told cops two days before the hit they were going to kill JFK. No one believed her. You can check it and make your own conclusion.
Each is a good point.
Too bad no one said “Hey, things aren’t so bad, Frank.”
They are bad.
On this earthly plane, of course.
You are correct ... what a wild story on Nov 22, 1963.
Well the House of Representatives in 1978 concluded that there was likely a conspiracy , so yes we need to keep asking what happened .
“He’s dead Jim” and other statements another poster made are foolish.
This was a US President who was murdered, we need to know.
Sorry, but you haven’t studied the head wound and the force and direction of skull fragments per testimony without film. Indicates a shot from the knoll fence area. You are correct that shot straight was ideal, but they knew rifle was bad and they needed it to point to oswald. Book bldg would have been a poor retreat for real shooters.
Why, don’t you know that he went to a gun range and “practiced” after that and took a picture holding the rifle with a newspaper?
Ha! BTW, holding a newspaper in a picture is a common way to send proof to your monkey handler(s).
