J.F.K.’s Death, Re-Framed
New York Times ^ | November 22, 2007 | MAX HOLLAND and JOHANN RUSH

Posted on 11/22/2007 6:09:56 AM PST by decimon

FORTY-FOUR years ago today, a clothing company owner named Abraham Zapruder filmed the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas. And for 44 years, most people have presumed that his home movie captured the assassination in its entirety. This presumption has led to deep misunderstandings.

< >

But what if Zapruder simply hadn’t turned on his camera in time?

< >

If the commission had followed up this insight, it would have conceivably been able to describe the duration and intervals of the shooting sequence: that Oswald fired three shots in approximately 11.2 seconds, with intervals of 6.3 seconds and 4.9 seconds between the shots.

Disturbing is actually a nice word for it.

Possibly the most amazing fact about the entire Kennedy assassination is that the Warren Commission, shamelessly working backward from their pre-determined conclusion, actually got it pretty much right.

I used to believe in the conspiracy theory, but am now convinced that Oswald acted alone.

I’m sure LBJ was having trouble keeping from doing the happy dance, and many others seriously wanted to kill JFK, but Oswald beat them to it.

I saw JFK alive and dead on the same day.

Can you elaborate on that?

Personally I believe it was Colonel Mustard Oswald in the library depository with the Carcano.

Get over it, people.

I'll never get over it. I was a senior in high school at the time; am still very affected by what happened this day 44 years ago... Yeah, do the math. Perhaps you are younger.

I love sarcasm!

(The American mafia hasn’t dared to kill even a prosecutor but they conspired to off a popular President.)

That’s what “they” want you to think. (I believe that’s the correct response.)

No, I’m not Teddy. But I am wondering why anyone would express such joy over the assassination of a U.S. president as you have...

I used to be open to the possibility of there being something more to the assassination than was apparent. I would still be so open if someone could produce something more than possibilities.

JFK was shot from the front? The direction all in the motorcade were facing? And the shooter went unseen? Can't buy it.
He was shot from some yard's worth of grass to the side? And the shooter went unseen? Can't buy it.
The conspirators chose such an iffy location and such an iffy patsy? Can't buy it.

The mafia certainly had motivation. But I agree with you, it doesn't fit their MO.

The problem with this presidential assassination is there's plenty of motivation to go around. And very little proof .

Dunno. I read your post but none of it was convincing to me. The film speaks volumes in support of a shot from the front.

...My money is on LBJ. After reading the trilogy by (???? can’t remember his name) on the life of LBJ it was perfectly clear to me that this corrupt and power hungry man was a major part of this smelly pie....

The entire scenario has markings of higher level operative Masonry involvement.

>>Oswald acted alone, period.

Every single argument against this reality has been thoroughly disproved.

Yes, so have the Swift Boat Vets. Ask anyone at DU.

Old Joe Kennedy should have listened a little closer to the man who helped JFK become president. “ I will do you this service but one day, and that day may never come, I will ask a service from you”

I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean for his son’s to try to give them free room and board in prison.

DU has the 9-11 Truthers and FR has the 11-22 Truthers. Both are equally nuts.

Ain't it the truth, brother. Ain't it the truth.
