Ever since that late morning is Dealey Plaza Dallas Texas, November 22nd 1963, the soul of America has been tortured by lingering doubts about the official version of the murder of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The Chief Justice Earl Warren was appointed by Lyndon Baines Johnson to head the official investigation, the Warren Commission. After reviewing all the evidence, the Commission's final report named Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman responsible.
In 1966, the book, Six Seconds in Dallas, raised important questions pointing to evidence which indicated that there was more than one shooter. More than one shooter would indicate a conspiracy, so the next question would be "Who else was involved"...

Who Gives a Crap .. Really?
Funny how this reminds me of this garbage of THE QUEEN visiting us subjects here in Virginia today.
WHY is it that the Sheeple think that there is something Special about these clowns who hold themselves in such high regard!
Every Single one of them .. sleep, eat and s#!t just as everyone else does!
Let me also clue everyone else in on an important fact: These so called ‘Royalties’, Presidents, Senators, Yadda, Yadda, Yadda, were BORN .. Just like the rest of us and .. They are going to die and be FORGOTTEN .. JUST like the rest of us!
I am SO TIRED of Idol and/or Hero worship!
Oh yea .. There were RULES that we were given upon meeting .. THE QUEEN:
Don’t talk to her first
Don’t Touch her
IF she speaks to you .. Call her Madam or YOUR HIGHNASS, (did I spell that correctly)?
Don’t chew gum in her presence
HELL, Don’t BREATH unless ROYALTY says that you may!
Ain’t life great .. Us Pions(pee-ons) have a World of Special people that we can worship!

I continue to believe that the Soviet regime was behind Kennedy's murder. The early sixties (the period of Fail-Safe and Seven Days in May) was the only time in the Cold War that a president's murder could actually have helped the Communist cause; in fact, the Soviet leaders had reason to hope that it would plunge America into civil war. The weakness of the plan, as always, was the human factor. If the MVD or GRU had found an assassin with conservative credentials, they would have been home free; but evidently they couldn't. They had to settle for the defector Oswald, who was at least a white American.
I recall (does anybody else?) that Earl Warren actually said that there were things about the case that might not be revealed in our lifetime. Why not, unless for fear that the revelation would bring on World War III?
Logic says that if Hunt had known the President would be assassinated on a certain day, he would have taken care not to be anywhere near.
Again no facts just a B.S. rebuttal. One eyewitness mistakenly thought the shot came from the knoll. One. Based on Kennedy’s rearward movement. Again, one.
If you view the Zapruder tape and understand trajectories, you can see the effects of a bullet from the rear. Small hole in, large hole, also carrying debris, out. The Zapruder film also shows a two inch FORWARD movement at the moment of impact. NO EYEWITNESS COULD HAVE DETECTED THAT MOVEMENT. NONE.
Stupid, stupid people.
A trial in the 1960s, led by the District Attorney in New Orleans (Garrison), centered on elements of the mafia working with the CIA as part of the conspiracy, but was unable to obtain any convictions.
Garrison prosecuted one man, who was acquitted for the very good reason that he had no more to do with Kennedy's murder than the Man in the Moon.
Many life-long students of this event are having a hard time ignoring this new evidence.
I'm not ignoring it. I don't believe it.
I think there are three pillars of the Oswald couldn't have done it argument. One is he couldn't have done all of the shots because he wasn't a good marksman. Another he couldn't have fired all the rounds in the time the shots were done. And the third was his ability to go home, kill the officer and get to the theater in the time it would have taken to make all of the trips walking.
I have seen that there are still arguments on both side in the shooting and it's difficult for me to make up my mind.
On the movements, the History or Discovery channel did reenactments of his movements and showed that it was physically possible.
Unless he was directing the action or actually one of the shooters.
That I would not doubt.
He was still working under RFK and from all accounts that was a painful relationshsip. He would want the president's support.
Also, I recall he was concerned about being forced to retire.
It is often instructive to note who benefits from an act.
Where did you hear the tape? I always believed LBJ played a role. He and Clinton are very similar characters.
You’re a perfect example why the DUers think Bush had something to do with the World Trade Center.
I hope you never serve on a jury.
Hope that helps.
Hi I knew you would be along shortly. LOL!
It was the alien founders of Scientology
Thanks.
Now it's my turn to enter the thread and defend the suitability of the Mannlicher-Carcano M91/38 rifle used in the assassination.
Simply put: They're actually nice rifles. It fires a ripping powerful cartridge and their actions are typically butter-smooth. The Italians have a tradition of making fine military firearms going back centuries. Italians just do not make crappy guns. They will perform to shoot 1"-2" groups at 100 meters, which means a dead simple series of shots at the JFK assassination range of 44 and 88 yards. Mannlicher-Carcano M91/38s were just sold inexpensively as military surplus to the American public. That's their only sin, that they were sold cheaply.
Every single silly conspiracy theory regarding the JFK Assassination eventually gets around to insisting that Oswald could not possibly have made the shots he did. It's not true at all.
I was struck also by the relative smallness of the Plaza. I know many deer hunters who could of gotten a kill shot off at a running deer well within that range and time frame. Now the thing that always bothered me was that number of shots. Considering what a genuine POS the weapon LHO had it seems doubtful, except that the History Channel recreated it all with the same type of weapon and even got miracle bullet results. LHO just had a good day - as far a his performance goes.
Period.
