It's time for the semiregular JFK Assassination Thread once again.

Who do you think is responsible for the Kennedy assassination?

Colonel Mustard in the library with a lead pipe.

No silly, JFK is still alive. He lives in Rio with Robert Maxwell.

The Smoking Man.

Actually I just watched that episode a couple days ago on Sci-fi and that's what inspired this thread. But seriously, all the balistic evidence seems to indicate the shot was fired from the 6th floor of the Book despository.

nearly right. He lives as a black man in a retirement home somewhere in Texas. In the room opposite his is Elvis.

cookie to anyone who knows what the hell I'm going on about. Curse of Amonhotep to those who don't.

I was the second gunman on the grassy knoll.













Not really, I wasn't even born until 10 years after it happened.

Bubba Hotep.
Must admit, I hadn't even heard of Bubba Nosferatu until you mentioned it. Checking on IMDB, it says it's in pre-production, but the msg boards are saying it prob won't get made. Shame if it isn't. Bruce was awesome as The King.

Anyone who's play JFK: Reloaded knows that not only could Oswald have easily done it on his own, he could have actually been far more efficient than he was.

And shot a whole hell of a lot more people, like I was always fond of doing in that game.

Oswald shot JFK so he could steal the Jack Ruby. It's so obvious!

Who didn't kill JFK? Just about everyone powerful/corrupt wanted him whacked, including LBJ, the Teamsters, the FBI, the CIA, Nixon, the KGB, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, Mao, Kruschev, the Joint Chiefs, the mafia, the KKK... most of them were just happy that Oswald did their dirty work for them.

The JFK assassination is a subject i know something about. He's my favorite President, got nothing to do with the fact that he's a Massachusetts democrat with the initials JFK and the surname, Kennedy...Just like me. :)
I have spent countless hours watching the Zapruder film over and over gone, looking at every detail, at every theory, at every motive, at everyone of the hundreds of witness accounts. And I think Oswald did it, alone, he was noone's hitman, he was noone's patsy, just a loser who decided to stick a gun out of a window and kill our President.
There was plenty of people that didn't like him. LBJ, because he was about to be dropped as VP. The USSR, because JFK, RFK and the rest of the administration politiclly embarassed the USSR in '61. Although it can be argued that the USSR was crumbling before '61, or on the otherhand, wasn't defeated until after '63 but it is my opinion that the Cuban missile crisis hurt them far more then we realize.
Nixon, because he lost the election he spent years planning for. The mafic, because RFK finally came down on them, and hard after they had pretty much been doing their own thing for 30 years.
These and many others had a motive, but the evidence points to the fact that the lone gunman theory, and Oswald being that lone gunman has the highest likelihood of happening and no solid proof to the contrary.
All this is IMHO of course, i have spent approximetley 300 hours researching this, been to Dealey Plaza etc etc etc.

other! oh sure there were plenty of people who resented every good and decent thing he ever did. there always are. and 'oswald' (all three of them) wasn't the only one armed, present and with 'motive' and opportunity.

er but it wasn't exactly like that. there were even mafia hit man on the grassy knoll. or at least one of them anyway.

but the warren commision's smart bullet was so much hot air and despiration.
what really happened wasn't even a deliberate assassination. not the shot that actualy did the deed anyway.

the angle at which it passed through his head, now classified perhapse or supposedly 'lost' information, it could only have come from one place, and that is ass level from the front seat of the car he was riding in. and damd sure NOT from the tenth floor of a building!

now i'm not acusing anyone of intentional murder. just accidental homicide. and here's how i'm, pure guesswork mind you, speculating it could, almost must have happened.

a certain someone riding in the 'shotgun' seat of the president's car, had that morning straped on is hip holstered shootin iron, the one with the hair trigger and no safety, to, as much as he had no love for the president himself, to do what he could to PREVENT the kind of incident where someone might come up to the car and threaten kennidy directly.

loaded it too.

only little problem, when he got in to sit down the damd thing ended up under his but. which he didn't notice at first in all the whoohaww getting organized. but after the motorcade sat off, it got real annoyingly uncomfortable wedged under his but like that, so he kind of scruntched arround to get it into a more comfortable possition. in the proccess, he may not have even noticed that it went off, other then it's having gotten hot from the firing, and you will recall that before he could get it settled comfortably, it went off again shooting him in his foot.

so you see the shot that actualy killed kennidy, was fired, accidentaly, from the front seat of the presidential lime, up through the back of the front seat, entering the deceased's head from below the jaw and exiting through the top of the skull, and thus consistent with the now, but it wasn't yet at the time, classified autopsy.

all the oswald and ruby and all that was for two reasons. first of all the public wanted an assassin to wreke vengence upon, the world was hot for the blood of whoever did it, and would very unlikely have believed the truth anyway, plus of course, this is a sitting, at the time, elected official, the one who had the 'little accident', who, well there just ain't no way the truth could have been afforded to have gotten out.

so the spook world sacraficed one of their own, whome they weren't very happy with and wanted to get rid of anyway. and when he, oswald, resisted going along with it, they hired ruby to silence his inevitable, and true, denial.

true it was proven oswald was in town and with a gun. yup. he sure was. along with at least a couple hundred other folks who might have had half a mind to do the deed.

which none of them, thanks to a little accident, even oswald, nor even the hired hitmen on the grassy knole and elsewhere, got to do them selves.

now this is of course, complete speculation and not ment to slander of defame ANYONE, but as holms would have said, when the impossible has been eliminated, what remains, however improbable, is almost certainly what happened.

and one of those physical impossibilities, is for the bullet that killed jfk, to have been fired from the tenth floor of a building.

Try 6th floor. That almost halves the height above ground he was, doubles the physiclly probably angle. I have looked at Zapruder films with every possible section of the screen zoomed on sever times to find any little clue. If you radiclly zoom in on Kennedys head you will see how the piece of his headthat is damaged swings. The shot comes from behind. ripping apart about 80% of this "flap" for want of a better term, is torn off. The part of his head hangs on by a piece of skin/bone/sinew/tissue whatever that is about 2 inches in size. The part of the flap that remained attached to his head was closer to his eyes in relation to the flap. Therefore the bullet came from behind.
I have read up from independent computer experts who have examinedthe angles and distances involved, and with acomputer have identifed an area where the shooter could possible have been, allowing for error the area is the window Oswald was in. Covering the entire window and some space around the window.
