LOL!

That black-lunged son-of-a-b***h is at it again :-)

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

That's interesting. It is possible then that some a-hole AM radio beanhead may have picked up on this as a minor news story and broadcast the changes. There were also other people lined up on the new motorcade route through Dealey Plaza? Perhaps they got wind of the change the same way Oswald did.
Although, I'd still like to know the definition of 'last minute'.

1) Explain to me why JFK's head jerks backwards at the fatal shot. That would seem to indicate beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was shot from the front.

2) Your assertion that the 2nd shot was a straight line I believe came from a computer generated mock-up on a PBS program. Aside from the source, the way the bodies were contorted looks like the same contortions Nixon's secretary went through to "accidentally" erase those 18 minutes, if you know what I mean.

3) The way the doctors were hammered by the Secret Service, and the fact that all records are sealed for 75 years (I believe), leads me to think that there is a lot of cover up going on.

Remember, Hoover was mobbed up himself - he publicly said there was no Cosa Nostra in the late 1950s, when the exact opposite was obvious to all. Hooever also refused to go after them until RFK became A.G., and then only did so reluctantly. After JFK's death, he stopped going after them again. These are things that we don't want to think about in our government, but after Clinton, come on, do you think it started with him?

"I read recently that JFK was attempting to engage in marital activity with a woman not his wife at the White House pool a few weeks before the assassination. In the process of being rebuffed, he injured his back, causing him to wear a back brace..."

That account was given in Seymour Hersh's, The Dark Side of Camelot. While not necessarily the most credible of writers, this book is one of his better documented pieces.

Gosh - hate to quote that looney. But then again, a clock's right twice a day, no?

[Magician]

LOL

"But then again, a clock's right twice a day, no?"

You mean a stopped clock, right? LOL!

Perhaps you ought to stick with, "Even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then."

"nothing else does (stay secret)" Evidence: I've personally seen MANY things from open sources that are secret, even some things TS. Specifics, you won't get from me, I will neither confirm nor deny anything

[GreatOne]

I hate to say this, but I can't answer your question. I've read over 25 books on the assassination, but it's been about 5 years since I've re-read any of them. I do remember the route being published in the paper, and I remember that the route was changed slightly because of it. But staring at the obvious, I cannot give you an explanation as to why people were lined up in Dealey Plaza when it wasn't in the paper that morning. I can only think that people were told by cops or other people in the know where he'd be going.

Hate to not give you a satisfactory answer, but that's all my forgetful memory can recapture.

Believe it or not, I read this piece by Bertrand Russell when it was first published in 1964, and was brand-new. There weren't many who were tuned into the official propaganda story at that time---Mark Lane,also, was among the first. As I remember it, the Russell piece was reprinted (and first read by me) in an obscure mag called A Minority of One, published by M. S. Arnoni, an Italian Jew who survived Hitler's concentration camps. I would give anything to get the back issues of that magazine again, which was published in Passaic, NJ.

Actually, I'd prefer "A stitch in nine is worth two in the bush".

Or something like that . . .

It started with Pearl Harbor. That was our first major government-sponsored cover-up.

The JFK assassination is full of basic conflicts. The Dealy Plaza route made a perfect setting for an ambush. Bullets were flying all over. I think it is interesting how Nixon happened to be there and taunted JFK in print about using the presidential limo bubble. JFK did not use it, making the assassination possible.

Then there are the railroad bums caught behind the grassy knoll. Their arrest records disappeared, but there is one great photograph of them. One looks just like E. Howard Hunt. Another like Frank Sturgis. Both of them Nixon men. The third one looks like Woody Harrelson's dad, a known shooter.

If you can explain away 20-50 gross conflicts in the official version, then anyone with an IQ greater than his belt size will find 200 more conflicts.

The official version does not work. I think various power groups wanted JFK dead. LBJ benefited. The Mafia benefited. Hoover hated both Kennedys brothers. He had to be happy. In fact, there is a photo of him looking at the coffin and appearing smug. But he was out of town. Hmm. And some right-wing nuts were happy. Milteer was one. I think there is a photo of him near the motorcade, grinning. Correct my facts if I am wrong. This is from memory.

Lee Oswald - 200 contradictions right there. A TV special said that his grave was disturbed. When the body was dug up, a Lee Oswald head was produced. But the undertaker said that was not the head he buried. Weirder and weirder.

Mark Lane is a true American hero. Jim Garrison was a phony, and possibly was linked to Marcello as well.

I normally love "doctored" pics...and have an appreciation for warped humor...but this is beyond funny to me (though technically well done) very very bad taste..this subject, to me just does not allow humor.....

Re: 1 - go experiment yourself. Tie a milk jug filled w/ water to tree, shoot it, watch which direction it swings first. It will come towards you first often (assuming you repeat the experiment) Re: 2 - almost every ballistic expert who's ever studied the evidence (photos to get location of bodies, x-rays to id the entrance & exit wounds) has produced simple diagrams showing the path is far from "magical". You can do it yourself w/ some effort - decent photos & xrays are in public domain. Re: 3 - sealed records - I have no explanation, but there are many secrets I have access to that I wonder why. If sealed because one of the rounds was an accidental fire from SS rifle, sealing them would be reasonable to protect him.
