Jefferies JFK film

Discussion in 'Anything goes' started by Simon_Cowbell, Mar 12, 2007.

  1. The problem is that the WC didn;t argue that. It argued that LHO did the deed because he was impotent and insignificant and wanted to become a worl historical figure. The problem, of course, is that he denied the crime every time he got before a microphone, including a press conference. Confronted by this, the WC simply said the equivalent of, "See? We told you he was nuts" and moved along.
    A horrible, botched investigation that ABC seems to be convinced found the whole truth largely by lucky accident.

    You're embarrassing yourself by suggesting that ABC just re-hashed the WC Report.

    Unfortunately the zapruder film shows they weren't twisted in their seats, they were both facing straight ahead.

    The Zapruder film doesn't show the first shot hitting - just the aftermath. When Kennedy comes into view, he's already clutching his neck.
     
  5. And Connally isn't injured at all.
    You can say what you will about the ABC doc -- and I watched it, too -- but their notion is still that there were hundreds of flaws in the way the WC did its job but that it still managed to stumble onto the essential truth of things.

    I always thought it amazing that the money shot never exited through the front of Kennedy's face.

    After reading Gerald Posner's book, I agree with that assessment of the WC.

    Who?

    Mrs. Connally?

    The governor was screaming like a stuck pig.

    Also, Connally was seated about a foot inset from the president.

    The interview of Clint Hill by Specter seals the deal for me that the money shot came from Depository 6th floor.

    The HSCA relied heavily on acoustic evidence from the Dictabelt to come to the conclusion that four shots were fired. That audio evidence is in heavy dispute. I know nothing about the testing, etc., of that kind of evidence, but this link is interesting.

    Kennedy, as taped footage shows, was shot at least once and probably twice from the FRONT of the motorcade.
    He clutches his throat, then his forehead splatters backwards with the second shot.
    Everytime I hear people debating that maybe it was just one shooter and maybe Oswald did this alone - I can't believe what I'm hearing.
    Oswald being snuffed was the final piece of the equation. Once he was gone, he could assume the role as the perpetual fall guy.
    Huge conspiracy here, folks. Just like the Huey Long scenario in Louisiana a few decades earlier.
    These guys were taken out by the syndicate.
