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.

"Then there is the ‘JFK was going to reveal the truth about aliens and UFOs’ theory..."

Sounds like Kucinich might have had a hand in it.

Yes. The author is Robert Caro. Me too. After I read those I knew Johnson would be capable of anything.

100 percent correct. Oswald was one of “theirs.”

Nixon.

Seems a natural for suspicion but there's been surprisingly few fingers pointing at Nixon as compared to others. Go figure.

—there was an excellent presentation on either the Discovery or the History Channel a couple of years ago (done in Australia,IIRC) which proved your point. They even recovered a 6.5mm bullet which was damaged in the testing similar to the one recovered in the JFK shooting-—

Not only that, I read Vince Bugliosi’s recent book on the assassination and he mentioned that Oswald was also a card carrying member of the ACLU.

Kennedy "Camelot"

Also known to insiders of the time as "Come a Lot".

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


Those who would group the obvious discrepancies of the Warren Commission's report with the clearly insane babblings of the 9-11 troofers must also be nutz.

Who do you think invented the 'magic bullet theory'?

Noneother than one of our favorite (NOT) RINOs, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.

And let's not forget then Congressman Gerald Ford of Michigan who signed off on the 'official' version too.

You want to trust Specter?

Go right ahead.

I don't think we own the franchise. Betcha the 11-22 troofers over on DU are even more lurid and whacked out. I considered posting something snide, but I can't tell who's kidding and who's serious. (My guess, at least 50% kidding.)

Somehow, I suspect that over on DU everyone is serious. One of the hallmarks of the left is an overarching earnestness.

What exactly do you think the “magic bullet” must do to hit both Kennedy & Connelly, and why do you believe this?

Of course they do, if your interested in knowing do some research.

For example the witness facing the knoll was Jean Hill, who was on NBC live after the assassination. She gave her home address over the air.

Start with Jim Garrisons book, and follow up with the book ‘Crossfire’ by Jim Marrs for witness names. And these are only the basics, much much more continues to come out on this from countless sources...

***Do any of your witnesses have names?***

yep....agree...Sammy Davis Jr. could have made that shot with one eye closed (well, maybe that’s a stretch)...come to think of it...Frank Sinatra snubbed, Sammy owed Frank for his career...wonder if anyone’s looked into this angle...?

I thought he was living on the family estate in Hyanisport, after his death being faked so he wouldn’t be blamed for the Vietnam war which he started.
