		<description>Could somebody who has fretted deeply about this give me a simple synopsis of how many people have had to keep their mouths shut all these years to make the JFK murder &quot;conspiracy&quot; work? And who are the big players? Is Castro still a favorite co conspirator? Have we stopped trying to prove the Dominican Republic connection and the CIA murder of its dictator on LBJ&#039;s orders? 

Just wondering.</description>

		<description>James, the so-called magic bullet was explained in the two hour ABC special.  Gov. Connally was seated inboard and below President Kennedy.  When you look at the animation, it&#039;s very clear that the bullet followed a perfectly straight trajectory through Kennedy&#039;s neck, through Connally&#039;s chest and into his wrist.  The bullet traveled through soft tissue until it glanced off Connally&#039;s wrist, explaining the lack of damage to the bullet.  (It was not &quot;pristine&quot; as some have reported.)

You take the curb for evideniary purposes, just as you take the entire door jamb or a section of a wall where bullets entered.  It&#039;s routine practice.

WRT the head shot, I assume you&#039;re aware of Newton - for every action there&#039;s an equal and opposite reaction?  That explains why a shot from the rear would cause skull and brain tissue to be ejected to the rear.  It couldn&#039;t go forward.  There was more skull and brain tissue preventing it from going in that direction.

Think of a high speed car crash.  The car stops.  You continue forward - until you hit the steering wheel, at which point you go backwards.

Tom, actually the Mannlicher-Carcano was prone to jamming, as was demonstrated during the ABC special.</description>

		<description>James, I wish I could recall what show I saw it on, but the &quot;magic bullet&quot; was easily explained.  Once I saw the reconstruction of the movement of the bodies in relationship to Oswald&#039;s location, it was no longer mysterious.  

As for the moving target, that would present no difficulty to a trained marksman.  Any bird hunter or trap shooter can handle a much more unpredictable moving target with ease.  

I&#039;m not saying there isn&#039;t more to this, because that possibility always exists, but only that there isn&#039;t any credible evidence of anything deeper.  


&lt;em&gt;&quot;Ah-ha! You guys must be in on it, too!&quot;&lt;/em&gt; ;) &quot;Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!&quot;  ;)</description>

		<description>To antimedia, yes I know Oswald used a Mannlicher-Carcano with a 4X scope. With a bolt-action, there is no possibility of a jam, as there is with a auto-loading M-1 Garand. I agree, Oswald acted alone.</description>

		<description>I do not think he did it alone.  It is much easier to shoot someone coming at you, than going away.  Heck, they made the turn right under the building for god&#039;s sake.  How easy would have been to shoot him then, fish in a barrel.

Plus the Zapruder film is what tells me he was not shot from the rear.  The right backside of his head was blown off.  If shot from the rear, the front of his face would have been blown off.

You people who believe it was Oswald and it was only three shots, do you believe the magic bullet theory?  Or the fact that not hours after the shooting, the Dallas police had his description and his location?  Or how when the police busted into the Depository, he was on the second floor drinking a coke.  He had just shot the President and he stops to get a cola.  I mean I love coke as much as the next guy, but really.

The Magic bullet is the thing that gets me though, that only tells me something was up.  3 shots were heard.  one completely missed the car and hit a curb, they completely took the whole curb, not just the bullet.  Why would you do that?  So people could not come back later and get the true trajectory.

One bullet hit him in the throat, the driver and the passenger in the front seat, crazy bullet action there.  And the last one took off the back of his head.  hhhmmm.</description>

		<description>Oswald acted alone.  ABC&#039;s two hour special on the 40th anniversary convinced me of that, and I&#039;ve been a lifetime believer in the conspiracy theory.

BTW Tom Bosee, Oswald wasn&#039;t using an M-1.  He used a Mannlicher-Carcano.

Naval Intelligence?  Oswald was a Marine.  They have their own intelligence division.</description>

		<description>Well, I read with interest your two postings on JFK and the conspiracy. I too loved JFK the movie, read the book and the Warren report. I do find it interesting how the murder of a democratic president by a leftist does get my conspiracy wheels amovin&#039;! My wife has always thought that Jackie had him shot for his philandering and after watching the Zapruder film with her tonite we noticed that she wasn&#039;t holding a gun! Guess it wasn&#039;t her;)</description>

		<description>It is difficult for me to believe that Oswald carried the assignation of JFK on his own.  My problem is that so far I have not seen a conspiracy theory that seems viable.</description>

		<description>If you go to the Dealey Plaza today, about a half a dozen &quot;researchers&quot; will tell you the whole story, if you are willing to listen.  I visited the site for the first time about a year ago.  I bought on the conspiracy tabloids, and also the autopsy tabloid.

According to one &quot;researcher&quot; there are witnesses still living.  My question is, when these &quot;witnesses talk&quot; does anyone still care?</description>

		<description>I was teaching a class when Kennedy was shot. I have kept tabs on the many investigations and theories that have arisen over the years. I refused to see Stone&#039;s movie, because it caused my own children to discard all reason and take it as gospel. When you feed an adolescent mind the right propaganda, you can easily make them fervent believers. Che did it, Pol Pot did it, Timothy O&#039;Leary did it, Hitler did it, the KKK did it and Islamafascists are good at it.

Albert Einstein said: &quot;Things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.&quot; Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy and Connelly all by his lonesome. That is the simple fact.

To insist on a conspiracy that has survived in tact all these years is to make the explanation &quot;simpler.&quot; What could be neater than a carefully laid out &quot;Manchurian Candidate&quot; type of cabal that ties the whole event up into a neat package?

Edgar Alan Poe said that to succeed, a short story must engage the reader in &quot;the willing suspension of disbelief.&quot;

The disbelief so many engage in concerning the Kennedy assassination does not produce a short story. It creates an epic of government cover-up. Right there with black helicopters, space aliens, the Carlysle Group, the Masons, the Jewish control of everyitsybitsything in the universe.

Here is a fact to check up on: Mark Lane played a major role in the conspiracy theories on Kennedy and he ended up hiding in the woods next to the village as the Jonestown &quot;suicide&quot; took place. The main players in the Kennedy conspiracy have  interesting biographies. Many of them were self aggrandizing and as weird as nine dollar bills.</description>

		<description>I recommend you read Gerald Posner book &quot;Case Closed&quot; on the JFK assassination. It closed the case for me. Incidentally, for conspiracy buffs, here&#039;s the starting point for a new one- the man who assassinated Robert Kennedy in 1968 was a palestinian, Sirhan Sirhan, who still claims he didn&#039;t do it. Of course he&#039;d claim that. Conspiracy theories are often based on the liberal&#039;s view of the world- no individual is guilty much less responsible for what he does. His act is the result of forces, most often right-wing forces, who run the world. 

&lt;em&gt;Read it and heard him talk about the case numerous times. Didn&#039;t do a thing for me. - Admin&lt;/em&gt;</description>
