Really fascinating stuff. I've never believed that Oswald ever fired a shot. It's nice to be able to see some contemporaneous writing about all the lying crap that was going on back then in order to frame Oswald. I particularly liked the parts about the police radio stating that the initial shots came from the overpass, the gun identity switch, the paraffin test, and the release of Oswald's description prior to the cop being killed.

I dearly hope that some of the photos and videotape confiscated by the feds that day remain in existence and will be released when the rest of the file becomes public. Imagine if the Zapruder film had been confiscated as well? Sure, a gunshot from the back causes his head to go backwards - what a bunch of crap?

Oswald was framed like a Van Gogh.

Hey, the Warren Commission did exactly what it was created to do.

Kennedy asassination has simple explanation. Robert Kennedy went after the mob as AG. The mob helped John get elected. Bobby would not back down. Mob killed his brother for not reeling him in. Foreign mobsters were intimately involved. Then they eventually got his brother too. Moral of story. Don't get involved with the criminal underworld. They are nasty boys.

For what they are worth, two brief personal stories regarding the day Ruby shot Oswald.

My father, a one-time criminal defense attorney and former associate of Clarence Darrow, was watching as Oswald was shot. His immediate remark was, "This is a conspiracy."

My future wife's family had for lunch that day a defense lawyer named Dann who routinely defended Mafia people and personally knew Ruby. When he heard on TV that Jack Ruby had shot Oswald, his immediate remark was, "The mafia had to be involved in Kennedy's murder."

Pardon me, but what the hell is an 'assassination buff'? LOL.

""The President’s route for his drive through Dallas was widely known and was printed in the Dallas Morning News on November 22. At the last minute the Secret Service changed a small part of their plans so that the President left Main Street and turned into Houston and Elm Streets. This alteration took the President past the book depository building from which it is alleged that Oswald shot him. How Oswald is supposed to have known of this change has never been explained. Why was the President’s route changed at the last minute to take him past Oswald’s place of work?"

This one statement needs to be examined very closely. At the very least, there needs to be proof to back it up. I do not doubt the veracity of the claim, but if true, the entire conspiracy theory hinges on it and is proven by it.

1. Was the route published in the paper? This alone is a gross error in security preparations.
   
2. Did the Secret Service make a change at the LAST MINUTE? Or perhaps it was a lot earlier than the last minute. Maybe the newspaper got it wrong. It could make a big difference.
   
3. How was Oswald to know of this change? If in fact it was a last minute change, that alone proves a conspiracy.
   

I would love to see evidence of some sort to back up these claims.

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.

So very pathetic that to this day Gerald R Ford can't admit to any hint of wrongdoing whatsoever by the Warren Commission.

Dear Jerry: Warren Report is an all-time historic documentation of big brother govt sickness. And you are truly a jackass for the ages.

On the 25th anniversay of President Kennedy's murder, one of the networks, I think it was CBS spent several days showing the events as they unfolded.

Watching the real news accounts of those days made me realize what a different world we live in now. We were so naive, so trusting then.
The entire thing was so unbelievable to the viewer of it in the future mode when we know more, and are not so blindly trusting of the media and some politicans.

Oswalds murder was a joke! I was just amazed watching it as it was 25 years later, complete with an ambulance that just happened to be right outside! The obvious Ruby coming out of the crowd with that gun while the police just watch and do nothing to stop him!

I wish they would show all of this again, I am sure there is more we could see through different eyes now!

Did anyone else see this besides me? If so, did you experience the same amazement I did that the public bought this at the time?

[San Jacinto]

What is the evidence to substantiate the allegation that the President was shot from behind?

The emergency room doctor who treated JFK died about a week ago.--No, it wasn't under suspicious circumstances. He just got old and died.

But he never changed his mind about one thing. The gunshots came from the front. You would think that an emergency room doctor at Parkland Hospital would know gunshot wounds--they see several each and every day.

Cool. It was getting boring around here :)

This came off of Dr. Ken Rahn's site. He has some other good stuff on there. Of course, some of it is there just to show how wacky some of the conspiracists are.

Great. Then how do you deal with the fact that his head went forwards? Seriously. Look at Zapruder frame 312 (before the shot) and frame 313 (head explodes) and you will see his head is driven forward. This happens in an instant, so the force is considerable. The fall backward by comparison is long and gradual. It is simply him falling back.

jeez! didn't oliver stone settle all this?
