Isn't this scene in the movie, JFK from official government documents?

Specter's 'Magic Bullet Theory' (video 2:31)

I remember an official story of Kennedy's head flopping backwards being that the cranial hit from behind caused a vacuum effect behind the president's head--sucking it backwards.
Wanna explain that one to me again, Arlen?

And then, of course, there's Jerry's version.

The Single Bullet Theory is the one thing that Specter got right.

Exactly. Read "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner.

The only thing foolish was Oliver Stone's JFK. Seriously, the man has no concept of history or reality.

Didn’t Specter shut down the OKC investigation and the third terrorist theory never received a proper hearing as a result? IT is true, a person could write a book and Toomey needs to get all over his history.

JFK LOL, I love that movie, its such left wing conspiracy drama comedy. Donald Sutherland plays ex-OSS who says everyone was in on it, even Pres ‘Great Society’ Johnson. Come on watch it and laugh, I love when they say “Arlen Spector bullet theory”

Arlen says the GOP needs to change. Wrong. You moved away from the conservative movement. It did not abandon you. Arlen you are a traitor to everything that Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan stood for.

You are changing the subject to a more serious one.

If you read the 1993 book ‘Adventures in Porkland’ you will find Spector was a Huge wasteful spender even in the 80s with democrats in charge and cold war. Yet Bush saved him for short term political gain 2004.

Over the years I have read everything I could get my hands on about the JFK assassination. I own over 250 books dedicated to this occurrence and I find the title of Posner’s book “Case Closed” a little presumptive.

I have read his book several times and taken copious notes, as I have on all my JFK books. I didn’t find his conclusions anymore “Case Closed” than the conclusions of any of the other authors on the subject. Case still open. IMHO

One of those documentary channels completely took the Magic Bullet theory apart. They used computer generated animation synced with the time line off of the Zapruder film and physics to show how ridiculous it was.

Dr. Michael Baden did a review of the JFK autopsy report and he came to the conclusion that Oswald was alone when he shot JFK.

Oliver Stone as much as admitted it was crap.

Something that I never thought about until I went to Daley Plaza last year and stood there and looked. I stood up on
the concrete post where Zapruder was filming. If there were any shot fired from behind his right shoulder at that close a range (supposedly where the knoll area and wooden fence are) He would have certainly flinched or even jerked or ran like hell. There is not even a flinch in the filming. Also there would hae been some more specific hard evidence on that film if the shots would have come from that direction but is none.

I saw this great documentary about the JFK assassination recently (wish I could remember the name). They reenacted where JFK’s car was when each bullet hit and had a sharpshooter evaluate the position of where the supposed extra gunmen were shooting from. Two of the locations (from the overpass and on the non-grassy knoll side) the sharpshooter did not have a clear shot. From the grassy knoll he fired a real shot at a simulated head and determined from that close range the bullet would have passed completely through JFK’s head and hit Jackie. It was a very persuasive show.

Exactly. I agree. the angle and the timing would have almost assured that Jackie would have been hit by something
and she was not. I have said this myself after visiting the site and watching the zapruder film over and over in slow motion.

Also, there was a show that completely destroyed the "Badgeman" theory. In the ridiculous "documentary" The Men Who Killed Kennedy, some guys did some photo enhancement that allegedly revealed a sniper at the Grassy Knoll in a policeman's uniform with a badge. Conspiracy theorists nuts refer to this apparition as "Badgeman".

This documentary revealed that the alleged siting of this Badgeman is way out of scale. I cannot remember the scale error, but "Badgeman" came out either twice as tall or twice as small as a real human being. It's amazing the lengths some people go to in order to keep a conspiracy alive.
