JFK-conspiracy or not?
In my "stay at home mom" boredom, I just watched Oliver Stone's "JFK". The movie got me thinking about the different takes on the killing, and I was wondering what y'all think?
Also, I'm looking for good references so I can do some studying of the subject myself. If anyone has any good sources, please pass them along! |
I took a semester-long class on this from my advisor, who's an expert on the subject. Our class website is here if you want to look at that. He also runs a newsgroup discussing the assassination (the link is on his site) and that website has links to just about everything ever discussing the assassination.

JFK did not shoot JR.

If you're looking for references the worst possible one is Oliver Stone's JFK. This movie is ridiculous and the attorney that Costner played has been proved to be a looney. The history channel did an excellent piece on the assassination with tons of physics experts that totally disproved any conspiracy theories that exist.

Conspiracy? Only the little green men in the black helicopters know for sure.

Here's what always baffled me:
Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly shot JFK from the 5th (or was it 6th?) floor of the book depository. Within 90 seconds he dropped the gun, took off down the stairs and ended up in the 2nd floor break room. What I also find odd is that there were secret service agents/security guards waiting on the 2nd floor and immediately after LHO entered the breakroom, they nabbed him, "knowing" it was him who shot JFK. They also report that he did not appear to have just run down 3 flights of stairs (i.e. out of breath, elevated heart rate). Maybe it would be better w/ visuals, but does anyone else see something fishy about this? |

Although I do think that there may have a conspiracy. My family has been friends with Dr. Cyril Wecht for too long to not believe in it! |

As newer evidence comes out in the open about the JFK assassination, I find it harder and harder to believe that this was a nefarious CIA/Mafia/Communist/(insert your favorite scapegoat) conspiracy. With modern investigative techniques, the 'magic bullet' theory as espoused by the Warren commission has been shot to hell - they forgot to take into effect the seat adjustments in the presidential limousine; once that's factored in, the bullet's trajectory straightens itself out... directly to the sniper's perch. It's beginning to look more and more like Oswald was the lone gunman, though who put him up to it is probably the real conspiracy. Most of us will be long gone when the truth behind JFK's assassination will finally be known. |
If the Warren commission gave the public all the facts then why would they seal the report for 75 years?
Did they seal the same report they gave us? That wouldn't make any sense. The sealed report obviously contains additional or different information that was not released. Why was that information sealed for 75 years in the first place? It sure wasn't sealed to protect Oswald. |
