[Az Joe]

Oswald did it, alone. Now give it up!

How in the world did he get 3 shots off with a bolt action rifle with any degree of accuracy?
How did the bullet do what it's supposed to have?

Interesting, handles the magic bullet and the 3 shot problem. There's a lot of interesting theories out there, I hope I live long enough to see the records released, but something tells me the real answers will have been expunged.

[Richard Kimball]

Interesting movie choice for this thread. During the parade scene at the end, the studio nixed it, but they had originally planned to have a beer keg go flying through Kennedy's head, instead of having the float hit a fire hydrant and water coming out.

[discostu]

Probably the right decision on the part of the studio.

Now we're at the second Otis gig.

[FreedomCalls]

And did they show you those bullets or are you just taking his word for it?

Yes, they showed the bullets. The pictures showed deformation (flattening) of the metal jacket with the lead "squeezed out" slightly from the end.

[discostu]

That's nice.

[FreedomCalls]

Let me know when they start talking about why the records are still closed 40 years later, I'm sure their explanation will be quite funny.

Hell, even the census forms from 1960 are still sealed. They only unseal the census records after 70 years as well. It's standard government procedure. Do you think there is something there that would be news? Don't you think someone would have leaked it by now if it was? Even the Kennedy autopsy photos have leaked.

It does look like it's metal and cylindrical in shape. The driver leans back and turns just a fraction of a second before his head explodes. I do see what your pointing out. But like you said there is no smoke or flash coming from whatever it is.

[discostu]

Yeah census records are sealed because they're filled with personal private information. The investigation on the assassination of the President of the United States shouldn't be sealed. Watergate records aren't sealed, Iran-Contra records aren't sealed, why are the JFK assassination records sealed. Doesn't make sense, if somebody is going through all the trouble of hiding stuff there must be something to hide.

Somebody might have leaked it, there's been a lot of "inside" information in the last 40 years, and a lot of people that scheduled press conferences to "spill the beans" that died in the intervening hours. Of course people on your side of the argument just scoff at all of it.

Which Kennedy autopsy photos? The whole head ones that couldn't possibly be real? Hmm wonder why someone would "leak" blatant misinformation.

[FreedomCalls]

It looks like the back edge of the chrome around the windshield. You can see it better (not cropped) on the .avi.

[FreedomCalls]

Which Kennedy autopsy photos? The whole head ones that couldn't possibly be real?

You are dimissing evidence again. Anyone can go look at the autopsy photos in the National Archive. You just cannot copy them. Someone leaked copies. If you don't think they are real, then go to the National Archives and handle the real ones for yourself.

[MaskedMan]

It's a reflection off of the top of the head of the passenger in the front seat. If you look at the AVI frame by frame, you'll see the reflection as the passenger turns his head to the side...

[discostu]

I'm not dismissing evidence at all, I'm dismissing fiction. One of the sets of autopsy photos that have been leaked (there are two distinct sets that have been leaked and mixed and interchanged by various sides in the argument at various times) doesn't make any sense, it shows the right top of Kennedy's head to be completely intact when even the most casual viewing of the Zapruder film shows that part of his head blewup. Those photos aren't evidence, they're a lie.

THANK YOU!!! I really don`t care what it is, but as this thread was going, I felt like I was the only Oliver Stone mental patient who was seeing it!! I know it`s not a gun, because obviously you would see smoke, a recoil, but then again you have to ask: What if he was using a silencer? What if he waited for the opportune moment? But maaaan...If you slow it down, that silver thing and the head blast lines right up! They say JFK was shot from behind from a gunshot that was fired from his back right...If so then why does the right side of his head blow out? Shouldn`t the left side have blown out? If you look at the autopsy pics, his left side is pristine! All I know is when that guy was killed, is the exact time when the lunatics (discounting myself of course) overtook the demon-rat party, and it continues to this day. It makes you wonder how many of our men and women died in Vietnam all because of a bonafide whiffle bat head hitting psycho named Johnson was then put in charge. I truly believe Kennedy would have prevented that debacle, but then again it doesn`t really matter, because anytime Vietnam is mentioned in the press or by liberals, you`ll always have Nixon mentioned in the same breath. Johnson? Who is he?

[strongbow]

Up until the last few years I would have disagreed with you and followed the company line. I am certainly no friend of the Kennedy dynasty or the Oliver Stone propagandists. I always scoffed at the conspiracy notion but then I lived through the clinton presidency. That opened my eyes to the power of a central government to obstruct justice and truth. I used to say that until the truth of the Vince Foster death was made known that I would never believe in the cia, fbi, etc again. With that in view I now have serious doubts about what happend in 63 when I was in the seventh grade.

[Dajjal]

Have you read "CASE CLOSEED" by Posner? The Left really hates the guy for that book so I figure he is on to something.

The Left Establishment loves Posner: Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Arlen Specter, etc.

[Wondervixen]

Agreed...Oswald hit him three times, but in the back/shoulder/neck areas. The fatal shot HAD to come from the front. The History Channel's "The Men Who Killed JFK" program showed a very plausible location from the street storm drain where any average size man could fit and escape from within 30 minutes.

[wideminded]

However, after watching the History Channel 6-hour special on "The Men Who Killed Kennedy," I find myself wondering what really happened.

That's too bad you wasted all that time. I saw some of it and I couldn't believe that the History Channel. which I normally like quite a lot was covering such an important topic with such a trashy show. Several times they interviewed people who only now after 40 years are coming forward to claim they saw something. The more likely explanation, that these people are just liars who want ther 15 minutes of fame, was not even considered. Also a lot was made of the existence of a photo of the top and back of Kennedy's head, made during the autopsy, that shows his hair in place and no exit wound. It is already well known that this picture was taken after the flap of skin containing his hair was pulled back over the hole in his skull. One guy was droning on about how this area had a 2D appearance in a stereoscopic image he had viewed and this must be because the photo had been doctored. That it might look flat because there was no skull underneath in the wound area was not even mentioned. The History Channel apparently decided that crummy conspiracy theories would get them more ratings than real, carefully researched history. I have been open to the idea that there might have been more involved than just Oswald, but over the years, a lot of these things just haven't stood up and the theories that I saw presented here were not even some of the higher quality ones.

[Non-Sequitur]

Oswald tried, but were there others?

Sorry, but I don't subscribe to those theories.

[Non-Sequitur]

Oswald, in the bookbuilding, with the rifle!

Or, perhaps, Colonel Mustard in the left jump seat with a candlestick?
