"Stone’s grand thesis is that JFK was assassinated by the CIA."

I am sure you are right. Bush was a cog in a huge plot.
The shots were easy to make.
How do you explain different ammo??
Grassy Knoll Sweepstakes: Part 58.
Place your bets.
Stone’s movie was garbage. For example, he showed Kennedy sitting directly behind and level with Connally in the limo, thus creating the magic bullet nonsense. How could a bullet go through Kennedy’s neck, Connally’s back and make a right turn and wind up in Connelly’s right thigh, the theory goes?
The fact is that Connally was sitting in front of, lower and inboard (6 inches) in front of Kennedy so the bullet’s path made absolute sense, a path directly from Oswald’s perch in the school book depository straight through Kennedy and winding up in Connelly’s right thigh.
How long is this?
Such an undertaking to kill a President of The United States
would require legions of people to keep their mouths shut and no one would be above suspicion or trusted of being able doing so. If Oswald ever succeeded at anything in his short miserable life he succeeded at becoming a United States Marine. And those of you here who are Marines or have served the Corps know what that takes. My oldest brother was a 1st. Lieutenant 1st Marine Division. Every Marine must qualify as a marksman or you don't earn that Globe And Anchor. Oswald did that. And on that November afternoon he put that rifle out that sixth floor window of The Texas School Book Depository Building and shot and killed President John F. Kennedy, wounded Texas Governor John Connally and later that afternoon shot and killed Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit. So much for conspiracy theories.
I’m not sure he’s wrong on that.
Castro pulled it off.
Long. Very Long.
I did it in a few viewings. But, I did find it spellbinding and breathtaking.
Except for the magic bullet.
Odd they’d bring up this Kennedy on the anniversary of Teddy getting away with murder.
LBJ according to Roger Stone
In before someone says Ted Cruz’s dad did it
Stone’s film is intended to be viewed in one sitting without breaks. It never had an intermission.
The point is you are baraged with so much information and theorizing that you never get a break to question any of it.
“Marksman” is the lowest qualifying rate for a shooter in the US Military. It’s followed by “Sharpshooter” then “Expert” which means Oswald barely qualified with the issue weapon after weeks on the range.
If Oswald was truly the lone gunman, why wouldn’t he shoot Kennedy as he was driving slowly towards the book depository or when Kennedy was directly underneath him. Those are much easier shots, than a shot at a vehicle driving away from him
Finally, More than likely,the first shot would be the most accurate as the shooter would still have the element of surprise and not rushing to get the shots off and make the escape.
I was a full ‘conspiracy’ advocate most of my life, reading 6-7 books, visiting the site and seeing all the movies. I finally read Bugliosi’s massive book three years ago. He convinced me it was Oswald. He addresses both of the reasonable points you two have made.
To me, one of the single best pieces of evidence that points to some kind of conspiracy is the LAUGHABLY pristine bullet that was recovered from Connelly’s hospital gurney at Parkland. There is no way that bullet was fired from any weapon that day. Bullets, even fully jacketed rifle bullets, will look that unmarred unless is slowed down by something incredibly soft.
What did it hit so incredibly softly that it came to rest (presumably) in Connelly’s clothing to then fall out when he was placed on the stretcher?
Nothing is the only reasonable answer. So, that means someone placed that bullet on that stretcher. That is, definitionally, a conspiracy.
I’m agnostic on who killed JFK and why or even if Oswald knew he was part of something bigger. But, that the pristine bullet exists, speaks volumes, IMO.
There was a test several years ago in which they set up a target exactly like the car JFK was riding in.
Connally was actually in a low “jump seat” in front of Kennedy.
Using a Carcano rifle and ammo from the same lot as Oswald’s, they took shots, and the hits were exactly like those in the actual assassination. There was NO “magic bullet”.
