JFK - cased closed, sort of

[Charmonium]

Yet another analysis of the Zapruder film proves that the headshot was from a high energy round striking the back of the head.

It doesn't completely rule out a conspiracy but it makes the official story much more plausible.

jfc, look at the comments.

The conspiracy theories will never die, nor should they. Something very bad happened on that day and we'll probably never know exactly what it was.

The guy passed up an easy shot that any normal human with 2 weeks of sniper training makes 9 out of 10 times to take a much more difficult one though a leafy tree.

No plausible explanation.

I saw a documentary on the JFK assassination and the kill shot was an accidental firing of a Secret Service M-16 rifle. The Secret Service heard the shot, one agent with the M-16 in the trailing vehicle stood up, the driver expectantly accelerated, the agent fell backwards and accidentally fired off the round that blew a hole in the back of the President's head. So the second gunman was actually an accidental shot from a Secret Service agent.

Both JFK and MLK were hits by the CIA and the military industrial complex. JFK needed to go because he was going to avoid war with Vietnam, MLK needed to go because he was unifying America where TPTB wanted a divided country and to use disenfranchised blacks to create a welfare state.

MLK's assassin lived in Mexico as a porn producer, got tapped by the CIA, got facial surgery, flew to the USA, and killed MLK within 2 months of landing back in the USA, had literally no reason to kill MLK.

JFK's assassin - Tapped by CIA and Russian oligarchs during his attempt to live in Soviet Union - already was scrutinized for an assassination attempt on a US general, CIA and Secret Service basically allowed JFK to be killed.

Wow...that's really "deep in the Kool-aid level of conspiracy" stuff...while I believe there's much more to Kennedy's assassination that we'll ever know...and perhaps MLK's too, that stuff is really out there...
CIA? Perhaps...wouldn't surprise me.
Soviets? Perhaps...after the Bay of Pigs and Kruschev...wouldn't surprise me
Mafia? With Kennedy fucking Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe, known girlfriend of Sam Giancana...wouldn't surprise me.

The assassination happened after the Cuban missile crisis by a little over a year. A year after that, Krushchev is removed from power. I don't think that's a coincidence. They both almost created a nuclear Armageddon. I don't think it's an accident that both were removed. It's just that the US has no historical background for a military coupe so assassination was the only option.

I don't think it was a typical conspiracy though. I think the intel and military arms of both govts saw the threat each presented and decided that they had no choice but to deal with it.

In the case of the KGB, all they had to do was cultivate the right asset. That was Oswald. They no doubt understood his political leanings and then just capitalized on that with a trip to Moscow.

I don't necessarily believe any of this but I think it's a plausible scenario. I think you could even imagine Oswald working for the CIA with the latter conspiring with the KGB.

They always have this stuff on NPR. I think this is the best explanation from what I have gathered over the years:

1. There's an unspoken rule among world leaders that you don't assassinate each other, no matter how evil you are. It's like nukes...no one wants to start the nuke game because it doesn't end well. When everyone starts assassinating everyone else, the whole system just falls apart. However, JFK & his brother Robert tried to have Castro killed, and it sounds like JFK's assassination was payback for that attempt. You try killing me, I'll kill you back was the political version of "two can play at this game".

2. There's a lot about the Oswald story that doesn't add up, but the fact is that a dude with a gun shot him, regardless of the background details on how that all came to be. However, based on the latest analytics, it appears that when one of the Secret Service members went to fire back, he accidentally shot JFK at close range in the back of the head instead. Maybe JFK would have survived the initial gunshot wound, but that closer-range gunshot finished him off, and we didn't want that information leaked to the public because it would have undermined how we were portrayed to the world - it would have been a huge embarrassment if that information got out.

We'll never know what really happened, but I think this explanation makes the most sense - it was initially payback for an assassination attempt on Castro & then a further accident in the heat of the moment that would have made the country look weak to the rest of the world, so everything was covered up.

Or, you know, aliens.

"New research settles some of the conspiracy theories around JFK's assassination" LOL..., naw, regardless of anything conspiracy nutters will always peddle their trash. Their brains are defective and new "facts" aren't going to change that.

Hey guise, if you want to discuss Bush's involvement in 9/11 and the government being behind the Sandy Hook shooting, I have some great websites and YouTube videos!

 

[shortylickens]

Everyone who knows Oswald said he was a lousy fucking shot.
The guy was recruited for his talents in other areas.

Have you not played Prey ?
JFK is still alive and will be for another 15 something years.
