What really happened?

And is the movie JFK factual or BS?

[EDIT: And does anyone really buy the "magic bullet" theory?]

Vaguest OP ever?

Vaguest OP ever.

You know, I really wouldn't doubt if the Soviet Union played a role in getting JFK Assassinated. Harvey Lee did visit the USSR before he killed JFK, so maybe Harvey was a Manchurian Candidate?

Finally, someone sees it.

Though, I wouldn't doubt it was just Oswald. Some things just are as they are.

dollars to doughnuts there were half a dozzen competing conspiracies, and dispite all of them, the most probable reality was a completely unintentional accident. the one thing i feel absolutely certain of is that the fatal shot did NOT come from the tenth or even sixth floor of any building.

balisitics and trajectories are all wrong for that.

then only thing that has ever been proven about oswald is that he was in town, at least one of them was, and had a gun, a rifle, the COULD have done the job.

but not from where it was supposed to have been fired from!
plus the minor little detail that there were MANY people in that town that day who were there, and armed, and quite openly wished kennidy dead.

but i still also don't believe it was any of them who 'got him'.

what i strongly suspect is that it was a very freek accident. caused by someone trying to pull a holstered sidearm, out from under their butt where they were rather uncomfortably sitting on it. someone who hadn't yet even realized it had fatally gone off when it subsiquently shot themselves in the foot. one with a sensitive trigger and a missing safety.

something that HAD to be covered up because no one would have ever believed it. not to mention all the politics and economics involved.

so oswald was 'elected' to take the fall.

oil intrests, 'conservative' intrests, certain organized crime interests themselves, even the dragon lady of viet nam, all had motive and opportunity to have hired contract killers and probably at least two of the several independently had.

yet as they say about best layed planes, an accident such as described above, very probably actually did what they had somehow failed.

Look.. Jackie Kennedy was the mastermind here. Johnny, her husband of many years and father of all her children was having an affair with Marylin Monroe. Doesn't anyone here think it suspicious that they died within a few months of each other? Jackie Kennedy payed to have them both offed!
