The acoustic evidence in the Kennedy assassination

Maybe not the time or place to say this, but I still think Kennedy was killed because he was ready to unleash the hounds of hell on communism.

I think Kennedy was killed by a mob hit team that was hired by Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller to get revenge on the Kennedy family for murdering Marilyn Monroe.

What can I say? I'm a romantic, at heart. 8>)

"I think Kennedy was killed by a mob hit team that was hired by Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller to get revenge on the Kennedy family for murdering Marilyn Monroe."

I think Kennedy was killed by a mob hit team hired by Lyndon Johnson. Motive, means, opportunity.

And no evidence.

[Revolting cat!]

Accoustic evidence? Makes sense, after all it was this band that had something to do with it!

Thank you for the ping and nice work.

I know it can be a little aggravating to work years on a project such as this and then have someone try to trump you with what they "think" happened.

Are you coming to Dallas for the anniversary? I'm definitly going to be there on the date.

[Lucy Lake]

Ping.

[risk]

Maybe they did it without asking, for the same reasons!

:)

[leadpenny]

Thanks. Out of town for the weekend. Later Read.

No. Despite my work on this issue, that's not really my scene.

Are you going to hang out in the plaza or are you attending one of the conferences? I understand they will have some sort of ceremony in the plaza around 12:30.

This was my theory.

This was the theory of most of my friends from either Texas or the Middle East. Not much evidence but just lots of cui bono.

What I dislike about some programs that instead of saying, "This is the way it was", they try to work both sides of an argument. I guess that's their fairness PC.

I hope the programs try for a little intelligence.

Sorry to hear you're not going to be there. I should wave so you can see me on the earthcam that's set up from the sixth floor.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Good article. It still seems as Oswald shot alone. Any conspircy would have to have had only one shooter (as in the movie "Suddenly") and no backup (even Gavrilo Princip had backup, 24 others roughly).

This sounds very interesting; will the new sound sequence be available to the public, and will it sync to the existing Zapruder footage?
I just aquired one of the most complete versions of the Zapruder film available to the public on my computer, and have already, just in the past few days of sporadic viewing , been able to refute some rather outlandish claims I've read on several conspiracy websites. Then again some things I see raise even more questions. I have not yet seen any decent copies of the Nix, Hughes, Muchmore or Bronson (shows 6th floor of TSBD before shooting)films, but I do have some of the poorly encoded versions available for downloading on the internet and they have some use to reference movement and positioning on the Zapruder film.
All the sound evidence is crucial to completing the picture as to what transpired that day and am looking forward to it's release.

There is no audio of the shooting. The article proves that what had been alleged to be gunshot sounds, are not.

40 years later, JFK theories still abound 1,300 hear them at symposium

Saturday, November 22, 2003

By Michael A. Fuoco, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

When President John F. Kennedy was gunned down in a motorcade in Dallas 40 years ago this afternoon, no one reasonably could have predicted that irrefutable evidence of just how the county's 35th president lost his life would prove so elusive.

But four decades later, the debate about virtually every aspect of those "six seconds in Dallas" remains open to debate and theory, as evidenced by the wide-ranging presentations during the second day of the national symposium on the assassination being held at Duquesne University.

The 1,300 people in attendance heard some presenters supporting the Warren Commission's finding that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three times from behind the president, hitting him twice, while others offered research they said showed that three riflemen fired five times at the president from the front and behind.

They also heard about optical density measurements, neutron activation tests and spectrographic analysis of evidence in the case; that X-rays and photographs of the slain president had been altered, counterfeited or lost; and that other evidence in the case, such as the diagrams and recollections of the precise location of Kennedy's wounds, were manipulated to fit the single-gunman theory.

Titled "Solving the Great American Murder Mystery: A National Symposium on the 40th Anniversary of the JFK Assassination," the four-day event concludes tomorrow and has drawn attendees from 40 states and nine countries.

At 1:30 p.m. today, the exact time Kennedy was fatally wounded, the conference will hold a moment of silence.

One of those who will present at the conference today is U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who as a junior counsel to the Warren Commission authored the much-maligned "single-bullet theory" that Kennedy and Texas Gov. John Connally were struck by the same bullet. That theory is central to the Warren Commission's finding that Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy; otherwise, there had to be two shooters.

Federal scientist Donald B. Thomas, who garnered international attention in 2001 for an article on acoustic evidence in the case, told the conference hosted by the Cyril H. Wecht Institute of Forensic Science and Law and the Duquesne University School of Law that his research of a recording of an open microphone on a Dallas motorcycle officer's radio showed that five shots were fired in Dealey Plaza that day.

The Warren Commission report said only three shots were fired, all by Oswald from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository after the motorcade passed that building. The House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1979 found that four shots were fired and likely involved a conspiracy of two shooters.
