Transcript in JFK-related discovery will fuel conspiracy chatter

[Mr. K]

"because ZAPRUDER WAS ON THE GRASSY KNOLL"

No he wasn't...he is photographed here in this no so famous photo, standing on the concrete pillar as I explained before (upper right of the photo)

Yes I know it is a photo directly of the possible location of a shooter in front, and does not show one, but it also shows Zapruder (even closer) and it is hard to see that he has a camera- but we know for a fact he has one.

[Mr. K]

"The cratered effect is an entrance wound. Look up ballistics and learn something. SMALL HOLE IN. LARGE HOLE OUT."

OK so then were is the 'large hole out" in the front here? We know there HAD TO BE a large hole because 1/3 of his brains were on the back trunk.

[The KG9 Kid]

If you'd like, feel free to name some names of the people linked to the JFK conspiracy who've been bumped off.

Oswald, there's one. Who's next?

[fabian]

there is a pretty long list...I will need to find it although if you bothered to do just a little research you would find multiple sources of the list...from honest researchers. No way to discount it if you look at it objectively. And if these people were willing to kill the president, do you think there would be anything to restrain them from murdering many more to try and cover up?

[The KG9 Kid]

I'm not going to do your homework for you. If you have a list of people who were silenced or chose to change their testimony under threats real or imagined, I'm willing to look at it.

What's likely to happen here is that you're going to present an old chestnut from a conspiracy site and I'm going to come back showing that these alleged suspicious deaths weren't so suspicious at all.

[SoCal Pubbie]

I’ve read both Posner and Moore’s work. I haven’t read Bugliosi’s yet, but plan to. I think I’ve also read every conspiracy screed from “Rush to Judgment” to “Best Evidence.” It’s pretty obvious that Oswald acted alone.

[The KG9 Kid]

The right side of JFK's head is shattered and hanging by a flap of skin just over his ear. That picture was taken post-mortem at Bethesda as they reassembled his cranium for the autopsy photographs. The entire right side of his skull would otherwise be hanging loose. See other post-mortem pictures for your obvious answer.

To your credit, at least you're not calling the emergency tracheotomy incision over the exit wound from the high shoulderblade shot under JFK's larynx as evidence that a shot came from the front like the most absurd conspiracists claim.

[Shooter 2.5]

The area decribed as the grassy knoll ia part of that entire area along the sidewalk.

There's no grass behind Zapruder.

>You must have failed physics.

[FredZarguna]

It’s pretty obvious that Oswald acted alone.

It's pretty obvious to rational people; the problem is, so few people are. I've read all the conspiracy books as well, and they just don't hold up. You get people who say (just for example), "How do you explain Oswald's trip to Mexico City, then, huh?" and the answer from a person who understands evidence is: "I don't explain it. I don't have to explain it. If you have a theory about Oswald's trip to Mexico City, put it out there, elaborate on how it makes everything work and get some other solid facts behind it." Introducing huge numbers of disconnected tidbits isn't a challenge to a real theory of the crime.

My wife just got me Bugliosi's book, but I'm so far behind I've got literally stacks of things in the queue to read. If you close it out before I do drop me a FReepmail and let me know if it's worth the time. I didn't care much for his treatment of the Clinton Impeachment, but his book on the OJ Simpson murder trial was both a spectacular rant and a penetrating analysis. I've recommended it to many. My favorite passage concerns Judge Ito: "What do you call a lawyer with an IQ of 75? Your Honor."

[Poincare]

Well, it works in my universe.

I have long agreed that it was very possible that Oswald was shooting at Connolly. He expressed animosity against Connolly, but he was supposed to have liked JFK. If there was a crossfire then either someone knew Oswald would be shooting at Connolly, or it was a fantastic coincidence. And coincidences, fantastic ones even, do happen.

[Poincare]

I personally think it was a “murder on the Orient Express” situation... alot of people were guilty.

Or Julius Caesar on the steps of the Forum. That's essentially what Fletcher Prouty (Mister X) maintained. Connolly was not in on the plans but he went along with the coverup.

[Poincare]

No they didn't.

Yes they did, rude one. There is film of them at a press conference Nov 22 where they all indicate that the entrance wound was the upper right temple--demonstrating with their fingers.

[Mr. K]

Are you deliberately being obtuse? It must be hard to go through life that way. Will you teach your children that the way to intelligently discuss a topic is by insulting the other person?

You have no manners.

I never said there was grass behind Zapruder -I specifically said he was STADNING ON A CONCRETE PILLAR and I presented a photograph of him standing there as I described, with a woman holding him so he would not fall.

you must have failed common courtesy.

[Shooter 2.5]

I don’t have manners for stupid people. Take a good look at the photo which you posted. Take a good look at the angle to Kennedy’s head in relation to the picket fence.

Look in a dictionary for the definitions of “Front”, “Side”, “Rear” and “Back”.
