JFK .... 50 years on.

[blackburn_stevie]

Previously unseen footage  of the shooting has been released using the 50 year rule.

Claims are being made that the headwound was caused by a shot from the driver of the presidential limo.

Here's a link to the video.

What do you think?

The first shot hit JFK in the back, exiting via his throat then hitting Connolly.

I dunno whether it was the second or third shot which hit JFK in the head.

What's not been widely publicised was that a bullet hit one of the street signs and was only seen in pics long after the street sign had been updated much later.

Aah ! It must have been the third shot that hit him in the head, if the first hit him in the back, does that mean the second went astray or did the second also hit him in the head, cos that would explain the distortion at the back of the skull before the massive injury that followed?

[cee-dee]

AFAIK, two shots hit JFK. (See CB.)

[saasher2012]

Pardon my ignorance, what is CB?

[saasher2012]

Sorry CD, bit slow there. Gotcha!

[lost.parrot]

It just looks to be a slow motion section of   part of the footage of the Zapruda film, and posted last year. 

As bankhunter said, it's likely those who believe one thing will still do so, those who believe the opposite will be just as entrenched.

In all fairnaess to conspiricy theorists ,without them the evidence to prove official would just be a case of 'we say so you believe' ,which is not a good thing. I say the opposite to cd's  scorn on the CT's and say well done keep digging and keep the proof coming until beyond doubt,. Diana needs full on conspiricy to prove all was ,and what caused accident imo.

I believe on JFK the conspiricy to rid him was big enough to cry foul play (including Jackie) Robert was assassinated in her company a few years later too, so people have a right to dig (albiet in most cases without scientific means) to get the facts . Oswald shot jfk imo but why is a complete mystery as there was no way he would have been able to know the route being taken to set up camp. Thats the conspiricy surrounding his assassination for me ,not how and who shot him.

[spawnjohnuk]

and there was no way ,not as 🙂

[cee-dee]

You see, there's another wrong "fact" thrown up.

The route of JFKs motorcade WAS publicised in newspapers several days before the event to allow people to go out to see him so LHO had ample time to decide where to shoot from. As he worked at the book depository, it would have been easy for him to plan his shooting position.

[spawnjohnuk]

not so, the route was one of 3 and was chosen on the day (i will look up the fact link and post when I find),1 why did oswald set up with the risk of getting caught not knowing for a fact the car would be there ?

2 ,how wasnt the building with a great view being used to watch the show (no chance of escape surly if so) ? and if closed for security why was the obvious not checked on such a security prone event ?

The fact remains that oswald was apparently an ex marine with mental issues so why not just stand in the public flag waving crew and shoot point blank ? why hit and run and risk missing if your mental your mental (enough to shoot a president) remember regan ?

The little things that don't make sense are the food of conspiricy and I personally enjoy having 'facts' questioned on just the grounds of not making sense,it leads to research which in turn leads to some jolly good debates 🙂

[cee-dee]

The route was chosen to give maximum opportunities for people to see the President, the Vice President and the Governor rather than taking the shortest route from the airfield to the Trade Mart.

There were other routes, but the one taken was a traditional parade route chosen to present the best opportunities for the viewing public.

The shortest route was chosen for the return journey from the Trade Mart to the airfield.

[cee-dee]

Ah-ha, I see now where this bit of misinformation comes from, it started with the book by Garrison and he got it completely wrong.

The route taken was publicised in the Dallas Morning News and the Dallas Times-Herald. Take a look at the pics of those news reports and see.

[spawnjohnuk]

ok,so what did this choice have to do with oswald ? The gun would have to have been set up prior to the day,you cannot just walk about on such a day (if everyone knows the open top press is coming) carrying a rifle surly ? or did he camp there and hoped they chose that route ?? 

[spawnjohnuk]

ahh, missed that post cd .

ok so this is a where he knew the route came from , well they may still have changed it (hence security services jobs and presidents) so he was very lucky all went to plan (oswald) the building ,the rifle the open top. 

Just seems to me a planning type job rather than the lucky and it will work for mr nutter job,to me.

[saasher2012]

I believe there are degrees of mental illness, some live in a fantasy world & from the outside appear normal. Such is their believe in what they are doing , & remember it is a proven fact this man was a trained soldier, no soldier worth his salt & all that survival training would run out into a crowded road in full view of security guards on the premise of a lucky shot. He would naturally choose a point of higher success in his mission as a soldier would, & correct me if I'm wrong did he not either before or after the killing also kill a policeman?

[spawnjohnuk]

lol ,so there you have it,was it luck vs bad luck (apparently )or a planned conspiricy (possible still) 🙂

[spawnjohnuk]

I didnt know he killed an officer ? how pls ..to evade capture (mad like) or snipered soldier style ?

[spawnjohnuk]

ps,from al accounts all sniping is a lucky shot if hits,I would think soldier style (get job done regardless) would be run out and point blank him to make sure job done, the risk of detection during such an event seems pretty even either way to me.

[tommy.irene]

So the man JFK who sold chickens is dead.

[cee-dee]

After publicising the route, they wouldn't have changed it at the last minute because there were thousands of people all lined up to watch the motorcade.

As Oswald worked at the book depository, he could have take the gun there before the day but a witness said LHO carried a brown paper package in on the morning of the shooting but LHO said he only took his lunch box in that day. The gun came apart so it was easier to wrap/disguise, then it would be less than 3 feet long.
