Oliver North has a new documentary out right now called JFK Revisited. It is a followup to his original JFK doc. Right now it's only on Showtime but he said by the end of February it'll be more widely available.

That had to be a hell of a thing to see. Honestly I don't know how the first lady kept her shit together through that entire day.

One thought for all the 60s leftists who loved JFK, he was killed by a commie. Communists killed Kennedy. We can never remind people of that enough.

Its amazing to me, as someone who for decades has had a keen interest in his death, watched & read & heard many interviews and shows, recreations, ect, and STILL new info comes out every now and again.
Never knew until the other day Oswald, while in jail, tried to call a dude in NC, that I think was an FBI agent? WTH?
And WHY wont all the info be released now? Ive heard Jackie gave in interview to someone on condition it not be released until 50 years after her death. Wacky wacky stuff.
I personally believe there were more than one shooter, 3 more than likely.
And I hate to recommend this schmuck..but watch Phil Donahues show on Yt where the woman who was right beside Kennedy is being interviewed...she was so close she literally had blood on her. Listen to what all happened to her and her friend.

In all of this and so far,
Three shots only?
I dont see how anyone who's fired a rifle thinks three shots, and the final and quickest of the three was the kill shot could be true with that rifle.
I don't see how anyone could not believe that someone from the grassy knoll got off the third and fatal headshot.
I also believe someone in another building was backin up Oswald along with the folks on the grassy knoll.
Could it be just a coincidence that so many witnesses died in mysteryous ways?

There actually a deaf guy that claims to have witnessed one man, the shooter throw a rifle to another man who disassembled it and put it in a tool box. Why wasn't he questioned? He actually tried to be interviewed and was blown off because it was too hard to communicate with him.

Then the whole thing with Oqswald going back and forth between the US and Russia. I don't see us welcoming him back.

Besides go to the Zapruder film and just watch the headshot. It clearly came from forward and right.

Figures I've seen say between 4.8 to 5.6 seconds. Keep in mind a 6.5mm Carcano doesn't have a helluva lot of recoil and yes, it was scoped. I believe it has been duplicated several times.

Look, years ago I used to be a conspiracy theorist with regards to JFK's assassination. My grandfather (a diehard JFK fan) went to his grave thinking the CIA had a hand in it as revenge for JFK nixing U.S. air support for the Bay of Pigs operation. Over time I have come to believe that the most obvious explanation is also the simplest one. Yeah, Oswald was a commie, Ruby killed Oswald two days later, and it sures would point to a cover-up. I just don't think it was.

YMMV

100% agree. It's nothing that required a magic bullet.


I think a more accurate way to say it is "She was in shock that day".

Nah, if that were the case she'd have been reported as "in seclusion at an undisclosed location." I was never a Camelot person, but I think she held her shit together remarkably and while she may not have understood everything at play, I think she understood her station and performed the duties of her station admirably.

Most house frau's with her background would have been rubber room candidates if you showered them in their husbands brains. There is a famous scene in the film where she climbs on the trunk, most people think she was trying to get to the SS protective detail to "escape", she was actually trying to retrieve a piece of her husbands head that had been blown off. When I think of "wives", I come up with a short list who "might" have attempted the same and kept their shit together for the remainder of the day while the government does what it does.

And for 1963...forget it. 50% of DC wives would have passed out, 45% would have to be removed from the car while shrieking hysterically. Women weren't expected to handle such things so most couldn't.

999 out of 1000 times that's my conclusion. The more I looked the more unable I was to conclude that in this event. For example, the best combat sniper the US ever produced, one of the best in history, could not make that shot:

"Marine sniper Craig Robberts and Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, former senior instructor for the U.S. Marine Corps Sniper Instructor School recreated the event. About their endeavor they said the following: “We constructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything.

I don’t know how many times we tried it, but we couldn’t duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did. Now, if I can’t do it, how in the world could a guy who was a non-qual on the rifle range and later only qualified ‘marksman’ do it?”

https://acasestudy.com/the-kennedy-asassination/

That's one of just too many problems, coincidences, ets that exist for me to conclude what happened was as concluded by the Warren Commission et al.

Too many left unanswered lke the "Magic" bullet theory where a near perfect bullet is found on Conley's gurney that if the Warren Commision is correct, that bullet went through Conleys chest and wrist and was unmarked by all of that human flesh being penetraited, nearly a "Pristine" bullet.

Have you ever even shot a rifle? Those shots easily could have been made. 88 yds? It could be done with iron sights. Oswald was a U.S. Marine, he knew how to shoot a rifle.

The top combat sniper we had couldn't do it apparently. Either he's not as good as he claimed to be, lying, or something does not pass the smell test. Has anyone, who recreated all of it as he did, been shown making those shots in the time span made, etc? I have not seen it personally.

Draw whatever conclusions you will from this video, but the shots look very doable to me. The way I see it is if you've got 5 to 6 seconds to make 3 shots, that's 2.5 second to 3 seconds in between each shot, plenty of time to work the bolt and take aim for the next shot, especially if you're familiar with the rifle and have practiced with it. A human sized target at less that a hundred yards is a lot larger than the paper targets most of us normally shoot at at 100 yards. It just doesn't seem that far fetched to hit a human sized target a 80-90 yards. Especially with a scoped rifle, doubly especially if it's a rifle you've owned and practiced with as I'm sure LHO did.

I had an uncle that gave me an Italian 6.5 Carcano rifle when I was just out of high school. Surplus rifle that he paid 5 dollars for. I found some surplus ammo for it. Granted this was the begining of my shooting experiences in life. I was not impressed and it quickly was sold off. Maybe Oswald had a better rifle than mine. Maybe he had better ammo than me. I'm sure he probably was a better shot than I was at that time but I'm still not buying the magic bullet theory.

There has to be a reason the Government won't release all of the Warren Commission papers. Maybe they don't want the SS to look bad, that they failed to adequately protect the POTUS. Maybe they are hiding something else.
Until the papers are released we won't know and maybe not even then.

I have seen that vid, thanx. One guy out of of 11 experienced shooters was able to make the shot. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for the lone gunman idea really, but does show it's at least possible, albeit unlikely by that vid. There's a lot of things taken in isolation about the event that makes it seem plausible LHO just took it on himself to kill Kennedy and did so with that POS rifle, but when one looks at the totality of it, it's seems coincidences and unlikely events to the extreme, like LHO getting the job at the location not long before it was a last minute route Kennedy took and on it goes. Even if LHO took all the shots, I think it involved more than he alone to get it arranged, etc.

This is the problem with these discussions, everything was released in October of 2017 except those records that contained tax return information. In the approx. 3,600 pages there was nothing amazing or extra spooky. They were supposed to be held until 2039. Trump continued to withhold the remaining tax info records until 2021.

Sgt. York was a lie. He killed like maybe 5 Germans. Nobody could have shot that many guys, who were under cover and firing back...all by himself.

Those Germans were actually strafed and killed by Rickenbackers squadron. Pure propaganda to convince the Germans they were gonna lose the war.

There's a clip of Oswald in an imprompt to moment with the Press and someone asks him if he's being charged with Kennedy's murder.
In a former life I often had to question a lot of young men about some sort of mischief and I mean up to murder. Sometimes you just put a guy at ease and if your watching their eyes, you see the exact moment when they know they are F'ed. You can almost hear their eyeballs "Click".
At that moment when all of these reporters are yelling at him, you can see that same look in Oswalds eye's, that "Click" Oh Shit I am soooo F'ed, look.

I'm not sure he even fired a shot that day. He followed orders like a good Soldier right up until they sacrificed him.
And they whole thing about Oswalds first Law Enforcement interview not being recorded?

Sometimes you show people evidence right in front of their eyes and they still don't believe it. I just posted a video from 1967 that showed 3 guys replicating Oswald's feat. One of them hit 2 out of 3, (Oswald also hit 2 out of 3) another guy made one hit and 2 near misses, and another guy hit 3 out of 3. This whole thing about nobody ever being able to replicate the shots is bunk.

I'm talking about getting hits anywhere on a torso sized target. Which I think is a fair test. Now if you're going to try and replicate the headshot exactly, then sure, that's gonna be significantly more difficult, but we don't know if Oswald was even aiming for the head, it might have just been pure dumb luck that the bullet went high and hit the head. So if that's correct, then purposefully trying to replicate the headshot is going to be significantly harder than what Oswald originally did, which I think was just aiming center mass on the target and trying to score any hit that he could.

My guess is that Oswald was aiming at the center of the target. A head and shoulders torso type target which would be roughly 20" wide from shoulder to shoulder, and looks to be roughly 20" high from where the president's body was exposed from the top of the back seat to the top of his head, judging from the photos showing how the president was seated in the car. That's a big target at less than 100 yds.

Think about it, if you aimed center mass on that 20X20 target your bullet could fly almost 10 inches to the left or 10" to the right, or 10" high or 10" low and you'd still make the hit. You wouldn't have to be an expert marksman to make a shot like that on such a big slow moving target.

That's just the way I see it, fellas. YMMV

There is some doubt about just how many shots Oswald actually fired. Some say two, some say three, the third brass casing was significantly far from the other two, like 10 feet or more. Some people speculated that threre was a spent cartridge that was left in the chamber and he ejected that round as he was getting in place.
It was not uncommon to keep a spent case in the chamber of bolt action rifles at that time to keep the bore and bolt clean.

Listening to eye witnesses there were as many as six rounds and the grassy knoll was where these folks said the shots were coming from.
There was again as I stated before a deaf man who witnessed one man hand another a rifle that was broken down and put in a tool bag. He was blown off and not questioned because he could not be understood and they were in a hurry. No follow up on that wittness either.
There was also a guy who caught a riccohet close to the overpass and another Lady who saw a round skip off of the road in front of her.

There was also a guy who controlled the rail yard who witnessed these guys set up behind the fence. And as they drove through in three different vehicles four times, they became a curiosity and drew his attention. He reported what he saw and died in a single car accident before he could testify to the Warren Comission.
