Yea but, the scary thing is that it means the other 50% here are just as looney tunes as the people at DU and Mike Rivero's whatreallyhappened.com.

All of the truly scientific examinations I have seen, the ones using physics and geometry to determine where the bullets came from and their trajectories prove conclusively that the bullets came from one window...the window...in the book depository.

Everything else is just self-indulgent paranoia.

For example of how far this can go you need look no further than the events of 9/11. The WTC catastrophe was the most filmed, photographed, witnessed and documented catastrophe in all of history and that has not prevented the most bizarre of conspiracy theories from proliferating. It could be the cab driver or the college professor to tell you it was all a setup.

"Everything else is just self-indulgent paranoia."

Probably happened according to the official version. But as long as there is an outside chance that the facts could fit other scenarios, why stifle inquiry? Unless you actually believe EVERYTHING the government says about everything. Which I doubt.

A 2003 episode of Court TV’s “Forensic Files” explains how the so called “Magic Bullet” actually did cause the first wound to Pres. Kennedy and to Gov. Connally. First, a company digitally mapped all of Dealy Plaza, a technique that was not available at the time of the initial investigation. Then, they created a replica of the limo and placed 2 men, roughly the same size and weight of the Pres. and Gov. and used the Zapruder film to position them correctly.

One of the interesting points made was that Gov. Connally was sitting lower than the Pres. as he was in a smaller jump seat. This finding points out that the bullet did NOT have to turn in midair to strike both men.

The next point was that after the first shot missed, Gov Connally began to turn around. The second shot struck the Pres. in the back and exited through his throat. It then tumbled, (a common occurrence in the shooting of long rounds) and struck the Gov. in the back, creating an oblong wound. The bullet slowed a bit, changing trajectory, traveled through the GOV’s arm, broke a bone in his wrist, traveled through his thigh, exited and was recovered

In addition, fragments recovered from the Gov. and the round itself were tested in a nuclear reactor and there was a match.

I was extremely skeptical of the “Magic Bullet” until I saw this documentary. I’m still skeptical of whether or not Oswald acted alone, but the “ Magic Bullet” theory was proven to be factual.

Yeah, it’s extremely difficult to prove a negative. Troofers of any stripe just through preposterous hypotheses and defy “deniers” to disprove them. The game isn’t worth the candle.

Any evidence that doesn’t conform to their preconceived ideas is rejected, belittled and dismissed, the mere allegations conforming to their world view are embraced as Holy Writ, beyond questioning.

Until 9/11, the JFK assassination was the greatest well spring of conspricacy theories.
