5 decades later, some JFK probe files still sealed

Five decades after President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot and long after official inquiries ended, thousands of pages of investigative documents remain withheld from public view. The contents of these files are partially known -- and intriguing -- and conspiracy buffs are not the only ones seeking to open them for a closer look.

I’d be happy to provide you with an address where you can send all those nasty Federal Reserve Notes, so they don’t pollute your life further. I mean... Since they’re worthless and all.

Alright I remember Speedy Gonzales, I guess I didn’t sound it right in my mind:)

[Big Red Badger]

Oswald was a dupe .
pure and simple

[dragnet2]

They are not worthless, but they are becoming devalued and you’re dollar buys less and less....This is no secret.

"both Roosevelts, Hoover, Truman all had attempted assassinations"

Don't forget Ronnie.

Oswald still acted alone.

Which is why the front of Kennedy's cranium was blown off.

That's right. It was an exit wound.

[Windflier]

Acckkk.....can't believe I got that backwards. I've read testimony that it was the back of JFK's skull that was blown off - not the front.

In the Zapruder film, Jackie Kennedy can clearly be see trying to crawl over the trunk of the vehicle to retrieve it.

Another digital remix of that record? Haven’t we heard enough?!

[RDAardvark]

it’s almost as if the documents are sealed in order to prevent anyone from seeing them! COINCIDENCE???

I turn 53 next month. And even I remember it!! My next memory doesn’t kick in until I was 7 or 8 though, when I almost drowned. (Then it jumps to about last week....not including yesterday!)

[RDAardvark]

Oswald was a dupe . pure and simple

Indeed. It's so simple that there's absolutely no evidence or logical argument supporting it whatsoever.

Here is some discussion of the New Orleans address: http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/camp.htm

Seconding this. mcadams is a great resource.

Yeah but if you look at the photo, the shot has been made, the bullet enters Oswald, he grimaces in pain. Plenty of time for the sound of the shot to reach their ears yet none react to it. I looked this stuff up:

Speed of sound - 343.2 m/s (meters per second)

Speed of .38 caliber bullet from Colt Cobra revolver - 237 m/s

So basically the sound of the shot would have reached their ears pretty much the same time Oswald felt the bullet. Even though the bullet is slower than sound, at 343/237 m/s at those speeds it’s pretty instantaneous. So why would Oswald react but not them? If you watch the video of him being shot, he had absolutely no idea, never saw Ruby coming, so he is reacting to the pain. And in that video the crowd reacts as if it was expecting it just like the photo. No running, or panic, nothing.

That is like the most perfectly fit photoshop ever. Brilliant lol

“JFK abandoned the CIA and a whole lot of Cuban exiles at The Bay of Pigs. They had a score to settle.”

I’ve always wondered about Nixon’s comment right before the 7+ minute gap in the Watergate Tapes. Talking about covering things or “it could bring up the whole Cuban thing”, and wondered if that was about the assassination.

Cubans used in the Watergate break in had been associated with the Bay of Pigs. And with Hunt involved (and IIRC was rummured to be one of the “tramps” in Dallas.)

And not that Nixon had anything to do with JFK’s assassination, but just protecting the “powers that be” and keeping things secret. Just like Nixon’s attempts at keeping “The Pentagon Papers” a secret. Those were done under Johnson, and if anything Nixon could have used them to show how inept Johnson had been.

That one still cracks me up ... ESP. The DK logo

I still believe that it was LBJ and J. Edgar Hoover....at the top.

Please take a look at this rendering of the Zapruder film,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqzJQE8LYrQ

starting at about 50 seconds. It appears to me that at about 53 sec, JFK is in trouble, and Jackie is even responding to something- and later, at about 57 sec., JFK obviously gets hit, but it seems to me that possibly this is not the first hit.

[wideminded]

I've read testimony that it was the back of JFK's skull that was blown off - not the front.

The Zapruder film shows that it is the right front and side that explodes outwards. It look like the wind in the open car may have blown some of the material backwards. Plus the car was passing under it as it fell.

A lot of people have said that the jerking backwards of Kennedy's head indicates a frontal shot, but this is just due to the jetting effect of the exiting brain matter.
