Default JFK assassination

Just watched the channel 5 program on the JFK assassination and it was the first time I've heard that theory. The evidence seemed compelling but of course other stuff that contradicts it would have been left out. Nonetheless it looked good, even if it didn't mention the grassy knoll!

Warren Commission is now the Warrenm2 Commission.
This JFK thing is getting more & more strange.

more smoke and mirrors. doesnt change the fact that oswald didnt do it or was the patsy like he said he was. also strange to note that gary mack, who isolated the "badge man" image years ago and was a staunch believer in a cover up is now the curator of the 6th floor book depository museum. why give that job to someone who believed there was a conspiracy involved and said that the warren commision report was rubbish? strange indeed....

I think Hugh Hefner had him knocked off after the way he treated Mazza .

I can still remember the shock and sheer disbelief in this country when we got the news about it.

The program was very good indeed and put a very good arguement together thats hard to fault.

It's the level of cover up thats of shear disbelief! If it was an accident it should have come out as such at the time, woud have made things far easier in the long run.

So do I! I recall coming home from being out one evening and my Dad telling me he'd been shot. We were stood in the kitchen discussing it. I was 11 at the time.

Interesting that in 1963 the Secret Service we're all out on the lash with strippers the evening before the parade.

And then this last April >>> http://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckrak...th-prostitutes

Is it just the culture of the Secret Service to get hammered and laid?

There was another documentary where he was shot by himself on the grassy knoll - accompanied with another man, a hologram, a mechanoid (with an odd shaped head) and a cat

BITD the firearms specialist said the rifle couldn't discharge the number of rounds in the time required so there was a second gunman.......

Which was disproved after the original investigation.

We will never know........

Just because they have shown that many rounds could be fired in the time required, still doesn't mean there wasn't a second gunman.

I think the fact that there were two different bullet types, fired from two different trajectories proves there were two guns and two people. No?

Better dead than smeg lol

It was a good program and well made, but not sure that is really what happened.

One thing for sure is it didn't happen as the original warren commission reported. Something's are just too odd, the brain going missing, photos disappearing and the secret service files being destroyed just one week before the Clinton era review.

But, how can we be certain...... If (as Kryten has hypothesised and Rimmer has encountered) there are an infinite number of parallel universes each playing out a different set of decisions, then anything is possible.

I've seen the Warren commission evidence presented when backed by modern forensic and ballistic evidence, and it' s "bullet proof".

The different trajectories thing is explained. I have to say, I have never heard of different bullet types, but that just means I have not heard it!

Believe what you want, we will never know, does it really matter? He's been dead 50 years, the perpertator is either dead (Oswald), or will never be brought to justice (or also dead).

As in the moon landings and 9/11, I think it would be very hard to keep that sort of conspiracy under wraps, so it's probably just not true.

Try reading the book upon which the Oliver Stone film is based, it's by Jim Garrison and it's called 'On The Trail Of The Assassins'.

I found it compelling, it really does fill in some of the gaps that the film seemed to create.

I really find all the JFK conspiracy theories and their counter arguments riveting.
