For more reasons than I have the time to explain here I am 100% convinced that the Zapruder film shows the fatal head shot from in front.
(Including the tell-tale ‘ripple’ circle in FRONT where the bullet enters)
Feel free to disagree, but I have a degree in physics... I am reasonably certain of what I think I am seeing.
One thing i have never seen so far is a compter generated film reproduction where they idolate his head and freez the motion of his head, or a fixed position in the car, to remove the jerkiness of the hand held camera.
I think that would convince a lot of people if you could see his head snap back and the spray come out the back, if the motion could be isolated that way.
Any computer geeks out there know how to freeze motion of a fixed point?
On the afternoon of November 20 "Obama X" scouted sniper locations along the parade route and then on the evening of November 21st met with an L.H. Oswald at a topless bar owned by one J. Ruby to discuss the plot to assassinate the president.
L.H. Oswald was ordered to drop Obama X on a "grassy knoll" located at Dealey Plaza equipped with a baby bottle, three cloth diapers and ahigh powered rifle.
L.H. Oswald never took a shot as that was done by the 27 month old "Obama X." Oswald would later say "That Obama X Baby made me a Patsy!"
Aldous Huxley through the doorway.
Obama did it.

NOVEMBER 24, 2007
Oswald was a dedicated communist who had defected to the Soviet Union in 1959 out of disgust with American capitalism. After becoming disillusioned with Soviet life, he returned to the U.S. in 1962. In early 1963, he bought a scoped rifle through the mail and soon used it to fire a shot (which missed) at retired general Edwin Walker, the head of the John Birch Society in Dallas. In the summer of 1963, Oswald was active in street demonstrations in support of Castro. In September 1963, he visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City seeking a travel visa that would allow him to travel to Cuba.
Oswald was among the radicals of the time who saw Third World revolutionaries like Castro as the wave of the communist future. He was well aware of Kennedy's efforts to overthrow Castro's regime. As a Senate investigative committee suggested in 1975, Oswald shot Kennedy to interrupt his administration's plans to assassinate Castro or to overthrow his regime in Cuba.
Ignoring Oswald's communist links, journalists and political leaders quickly claimed the president was a martyr to civil rights. Earl Warren said that Kennedy had "suffered martyrdom as a result of the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our nation by bigots." Martin Luther King said the assassination had to be viewed against the backdrop of violence against civil rights marchers in the South. James Reston wrote in the New York Times that "something in the nation itself, some strain of madness and violence, had destroyed the highest symbol of law and order."
The consensus opinion was that Kennedy was a victim of hate and bigotry, a casualty of his support for civil rights. The Cold War and Kennedy's ongoing feud with Castro were rarely mentioned as factors behind the assassination. The reasons? Mrs. Kennedy wanted her husband remembered as a modern-day Abraham Lincoln. Lyndon Johnson feared complicating relations with the Soviet Union. Liberals feared a replay of the McCarthy period, when the Wisconsin senator inflamed public opinion about fears of domestic communism.

Lee Harvey Oswald
From wikipedia (with lots of references at site) :
Around the age of fifteen, he became an ardent Marxist solely from his private reading on the topic. He wrote in his diary, "I was looking for a key to my environment, and then I discovered socialist literature. I had to dig for my books in the back dusty shelves of libraries."[13] At 16 he wrote to the Socialist Party of America, stating that he was a Marxist who had been studying socialist principles for "well over fifteen months," and asked for information about their youth league.[14]
While in the Marines, Oswald was trained in the use of the M1 Garand rifle. Following that training, he was tested in December of 1956, and obtained a score of 212, which was 2 points above the minimum for qualifications as a sharpshooter. In May 1959, on another range, Oswald scored 191, which was 1 point over the minimum for ranking as a marksman.[17]
Small and frail compared to the other Marines, he was nicknamed Ozzie Rabbit after the cartoon character. His shyness and Soviet sympathies alienated him from his fellow Marines. Ostracism only seemed to provoke him into being a stauncher, more outspoken communist. For his steadfast beliefs, his nickname ultimately became Oswaldskovich.
Life in the Soviet Union
In October 1959, Oswald immigrated to the Soviet Union. He was nineteen, and the trip was planned well in advance. Along with having taught himself rudimentary Russian, he had saved $1,500 of his Marine Corps salary,[19] got an early "hardship" discharge by (falsely) claiming he needed to care for his injured mother,[20] got a passport, and submitted several fictional applications to foreign universities in order to obtain a student visa (and possibly help avoid Marine Corps reserve duty).
After spending only three days with his mother in Fort Worth, he departed by ship from New Orleans on September 20, 1959, for the Soviet Union, first arriving in Le Havre in France, then to London,England and eventually Oswald to a Finnair flight to Helsinki, Finland as part of a package tour. Oswald landed to Helsinki airport in October 10 at 23.30 a.m. he registered at the Hotel Torni but two days later , he moved to the Kurki Hotel.Oswald applied for a visa at the embassy on October 12, his first business day in Helsinki. Oswalds visa was issued on October 14. It was valid until October 20 and permitted him to take one trip of not more than 6 days to the Soviet Union. He left from Helsinki Central Railway Station by train next day on October 15 to Moscow and when he crossed the Finnish-Russian border at Vainikkala, he arrived to Moscow on October 16." [21] When he arrived in the Soviet Union and showed up unexpectedly at the Embassy in Moscow, he said he wanted to renounce his U.S. citizenship.[22][23] When the Navy Department learned of this, it changed Oswald's Marine Corps discharge from "hardship/honorable" to "undesirable."[24]
Oswald told a reporter in Moscow, "For two years I've had it in my mind, don't form any attachments, because I knew I was going away. I was planning to divest myself of everything to do with the United States."[25] To another reporter he said, "I would not consider returning to the United States," and referred to the Soviet government as "my government."[26] His wish to remain in the Soviet Union was initially applauded by the Soviets, but although he had some technical knowledge acquired in the Marines they soon discovered he had little of real value to offer the Soviet Union and his application for Soviet residency was rejected.[27] In response, Oswald made a bloody but minor cut to his left wrist in his hotel room bathtub. After bandaging his superficial injury, the cautious Soviets kept him under psychiatric observation at the Botkin Hospital.[28][29] Although this attempt may have been no more than an attention-getting ruse, the Soviet government feared an international incident if he were to attempt something similar again.
New Orleans
Oswald returned to New Orleans, arriving on the morning of April 25, 1963 looking for work. After Oswald got a job as a machinery greaser with the Reily Coffee Company in May, Marina was driven there by family friend Ruth Paine. Oswald was fired for inefficiency and dereliction of duty on July 19.
During this period, Oswald began to consider returning to the Soviet Union or going to Cuba.[57] He had Marina write to the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C. about the possibility of their returning to the Soviet Union.[58] His Marxist ideals became focused on Fidel Castro and Cuba and he soon became a vocal pro-Castro advocate.
My theory is the Warren Commission got it right and Lee Oswald was the lone assassin.
I now almost expect to be banned for spreading a tinfoil-hat theory.
He acted alone.
That's my theory.
Not saying it’s true, but in the 1992 film one of the conspirators looked a lot like L. Mendal Rivers (House Armed Services Chair) and he was seen racing to the airport (police & sirens) shortly after the first reports. Howard Hunt and Nixon may have also been involved. But if you want to KISS then go with a nut with a rifle.
Lee Harvey Oswald.
Possibly encouraged by Castro’s people. I’m not positing any huge conspiracy. Oswald was a pro-Castro communist, and it’s possible that some Cuban agent told him “you want to kill Kennedy? Great idea!”
Kennedy, like 100 million other people in the the 20th century, was killed by a commie. The left has a very hard time accepting this.
The only reason Oswald would have to shoot Tippit is if he were escaping from the assassination scene.
He supposedly used a .38 Special S&W revolver in the murder, but one of the first officers on the scene identified shell casings found there as being from .38 semi-auto.
An experienced policeman and a former combat Marine both said an automatic pistol was used (as opposed to Oswald's revolver). Moreover, the policeman, Sgt. Gerald Hill, based his automatic-pistol identification on the shell casings. As any firearms expert can attest, it's very easy to distinguish between automatic shells and revolver shells. What's more, in a 1986 interview, Hill said he knew the shells were .38-caliber shells because he picked one of them up and examined it. This is significant because .38 automatic shells are marked ".38 AUTO" on the bottom. Hill specifically said he looked on the bottom of the shell that he examined. It is no wonder, then, that Hill got on the radio and said "the shells at the scene indicate that the suspect is armed with an automatic .38."
It's amazing how all the JFK conspiracy theorists share all have one trait in common: they all write in an incoherent style.
This just in John F Kennedy is STILL dead. We now return to our normal broadcast.
A theory that I have not seen recently is that Oswald was really after John Connally because Connally had refused Oswald’s application to have his undesirable Marine Corps discharge cleared up. Presumably he saw an opportunity too good to miss when he realized he could get the drop on Connally and have JFK thrown in too. It’s sometimes forgotten that Oswald is believed to have taken a shot at General Edwin Walker through his Dallas area window some months earlier. Walker was a John Birch Society member who was not in favor with communists. Not sure of sources for this, but probably Marina Oswald, after the JFK assassination.
Bush’s Fault + Global Warming.
Most likely: lone nut—Oswald—shot JFK.
There’s a ton of evidence that says he did (he had the means, the opportunity and behaved as if he was guilty—murdering police officer Tippett—and very little that says he didn’t.
Bugliosi’s book covers it all pretty well in 1500 pages.
Someone shot him dead. The end.
