Pay attention much?

Two weeks ago I never expected Democrats or Republicans to try to force the electoral college to vote against the electorate and "deem" the wrong candidate to be president. I was wrong! I should have been more paranoid.

I do not think and have never thought that Obama would declare martial law or try some extra-constitutional attempt to stay in office. But... I used to feel that way 110% and now it's closer to 99 and 44/100ths%

But pretty much everything else Mr Jones said sounded true and not paranoid at all.

So if 3 bullets were fired from the Dallas book depository but 4 or more bullets were accounted for who sot the other bullets?
If the doctor who examined JFK swore that he was shot from the front and he was bullied into changing his opinion, why? If the "magic bullet" was somehow found on a gurney in the hospital who put it there? Why did a mob insider decide to shot Oswald? Why was it that when the FBI tried to duplicate those difficult shots from the boo depository 6th floor expert shooters failed to do it? Why does Oswalds background and history more resemble a CIA undercover agent than it does a conspirator? Why was the famous picture of Oswald with the Carcano Rifle "photo shopped". Why did the 80 or so people that Life Magazine associated with the JFK assassination all die mysteriously? Why was the Warren Commission report so full of lies and coverups? What would have been wrong with the truth? Why were many of the facts and testimonies sealed from public view for 50 years? Why was the original autopsy report destroyed? Too many questions to list.

In fact it is possible to teach someone to hit that target but without a lot of hands on instruction even a good shot would miss it because it was such a steep angle. The experts that the government used failed and they were experts. Not an easy shot. BUT to make it worse thanks to the video we know that there were at least three shots in 5.6 seconds using that klunky old rifle. THAT is what the experts had a problem with and that is what your nine year old would have a problem with. Other then that little fact you are right. The shot isn’t that bad I could probably learn to do it to with enough practice.

If you believe there were only three shots fired then you haven’t read everything. One of the three shots that were “probably” fired from the book repository went into the pavement in front of the cars. Probably there were three shots fired from the 6th floor and at least two fired from somewhere in front of the cars. The magic bullet was at least two different bullets one of which was never recovered and the other one mysteriously left by hand on a gurney at the hospital (which implies it was fired before the assassination to be used to implicate Oswald). The magic bullet left behind lead in Kennedy’s and Connally’s body but magically had not lost that much lead so it wasn’t the bullet that hit them.

It was more then the fact that kennedy’s head flew backwards when he was shot from the front. The attending doctor identified the wound in the front as an entry wound and the much larger wound in the back as an exit wound. Not speculation but common everyday forensics admissible in court.

Six spectators in Dealey Plaza saw a gunman on one of the upper floors of the Texas School Book Depository. Their descriptions, however, were vague and contradictory, and only one of them identified Oswald. So they didn’t have a description of the shooter they had a description of Oswald. Almost as though it was someone’s intent to pin it on Oswald. Also there was a good witness that Oswald was on the first floor within seconds of the shots fired but showed no signs of having run down the stairs to get there. Howard Brennan was not, however, an especially reliable witness:
He claimed that the man was standing up when aiming the rifle, but the sash window made this impossible; it was open only up to about waist height.
He claimed that “I was looking at the man in this window at the time of the last explosion”, but later explicitly denied that he had seen the man fire the gun.
He claimed on the afternoon of the assassination that “I believe that I could identify this man if I ever saw him again”, but he was unable to pick out Oswald at an identification parade a few hours later, despite having seen Oswald’s photograph on television in the meantime.
Two witnesses, Arnold Rowland and Amos Euins, gave descriptions that were more precise than Brennan’s, but which did not match Oswald’s appearance in crucial ways:
Rowland described the gunman as having “dark hair … it was dark, probably black. … It didn’t appear as if he had a receding hairline”.
Euins stated that “I seen a bald spot on this man’s head, trying to look out the window. He had a bald spot on his head. I was looking at the bald spot”.
Two other witnesses disagreed with Rowland about the colour of the man’s hair: Robert Edwards claimed that it was “light brown”, and Carolyn Walther remembered “blond or light brown hair”.
Oswald’s hair was light brown, and receding slightly, but he did not have a bald spot.


You left out a good reason for the Warren commission to release a report that they knew was full of lies. At least one of the members of that commission did in fact answer that question. He said that if the American people found out the truth that it could have disastrous effect on the country. Why ?



The picture of Oswald holding the rifle is a combination of two pictures and show two different shadow signatures indicating different times of day. Of course that was the best they could do before a decent photoshop program.


Although Oswald appears to have owned the rifle discovered on the sixth floor, the eye–witness evidence casts doubt on the notion that he was the man seen with the rifle during the assassination. This is consistent with the paraffin test on Oswald’s right cheek, which suggests very strongly that he had not fired a rifle that day. Wherever he was, Oswald almost certainly was not guilty of killing President Kennedy.


Multiple witnesses saw two people shoot officer Tippit. They also testified that they saw one of them throw a handful of fired shells in the air to fall to the ground at the crimes scene. Interesting, huh?


The list of information that contradicts the theory that Oswald killed JFK is too long to list. It is so extensive that it is unlikely that a DA could convict him in court today.

26 witnesses who identified someone other than Oswald or events other than what was reported by the Warren commission were mysteriously killed.

The doctor who actually did the official autopsy on JFK had never done an autopsy before and he was guided through it by two FBI men and two unidentified men who told him what to say on the record.
