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.

It wouldn't, but it went forward first anyway.

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.

The PBS show was only one demonstration. The bodies really weren't lined up paralell, on in front of the other. That's the reality, it isn't contortion.

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.

They weren't "hammered". The records are no longer sealed. They have been released. Oh, I guess you didn't hear that because they didn't show anything.

That Limousine almost comes to an abrupt stop...

They stop for baby ducks.

LOOK OUT LOOK OUT LOOK OUT!

Whether he heard me, I'll never know . .

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.

There were 3 shots. Nixon wasn't there at the time. The bubble only kept out rain, not bullets. Nixon didn't taunt him about it.

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.

The arrest records are public documents, their names are known. They were three bums.

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.

It is a basic truth in any complex case that you can find all kinds of open questions or things that don't make sense by themselves. Look at the OJ case. Does that mean he didn't really do it? No. A question is just a question, it isn't evidence. The evidence says Oswald did it. It says that convincingly. The ability to ask questions doesn't subtract it. The fact is, many of the questions are false questions, as are many of the "facts" being offered in this thread right now. This has happened because for 38 years we've had people writing nonsensical books, repeating false assertions and making up stories. Nobody can be blamed for thinking there is something to them, but if you do the work to find out you'll find there isn't.

Mark Lane is a communist. He was funded by the KGB.

If anyone has seen the Zapruder film at real speed you can clearly see that the Secret Serviceman driving Kennedy's car noticably slowed the vehicle just before the head shot [this is no hype, check it out yourself]...once the head shot struck home the car speeds up considerably and away.

Although you can argue the driver shouldn't have reacted the way he did, you can't pin the whole case on this one thing. There is a ton of evidence. The evidence tells us what happened.

I didnt say I pin the whole thing on this...

I said: "Until someone can explain the practical motive behind slowing down a vehicle in the middle of an assasination attempt I will always think something was definately afoot that day in Dealy Plaza."

There is not much difference in your distinction.

On the contrary...

I understand that there are two distinct positions on alot of the circumstances.

This is the one (Limo speed) that I havent heard explained...and until I do, to me it is cause for question and considering that on its face it would appear completely improper to the point of incompetence (something that does not exist in the Presidential detail for the President of the United States) gives me cause for concern...enough to say something was fishy.

And until that is addressed I cannot say that this whole scenario has just been manufactured by theorists.

Sorry, if the only book you have read on the subject is Posner's then you are not qualified to make such a judgement. Posner has been debunked by quite a few people who know a lot more than he.

incidentally, the x-rays of Connely's thigh and wrist show more lead residue than can be accounted for by the magic bullet...

This topic long ago drifted into the realm of religious belief. Like any heretic Posner of course would be attacked by the conspiracy buffs. If what he wrote is a pack of lies and errors I am sorry to have fallen for his mendacious scribblings. I am just glad for the moment I am not in the Oliver Stone camp.

I can't refute the material I have read with your assertions. It is true that the best way to deal with it is to have the actual documents.

One eyewitness was asked why she didn't come forward for years. She said, "I didn't want to die of suicide, a shotgun blast to the back of my head, if you know what I mean."

Oswald's relationship with the intelligence community is interesting by itself. Kennedy's relationship to the Mob is now well known. So is his father's working with the Mob. Then there is the Mob girlfriend - Exner. And the Mob boss who died as this was coming out. Like I said, too many conflicts in the official story.

Under what rock have you been hiding? Many books are out that prove beyond doubt that the US knew the facts about Pearl Harbor from the time the Japanese fleet left. We were also warned by various sources, including a spy nicknamed Tricycle.

Kimmel and Short are no longer being blamed. I think they are exonerated now. FDR knew about Pearl and let those men die without warning them. It was a convenient way for FDR to unite the nation and get us into war. Like I said, that was the first time.

I don't think people accept the FBI as a legitimate investigative agency anymore.

Don't sweat it. My question was more or less rhetorical.
It has been 38 years and I would think if there was an answer, we'd have heard an answer by now.

On A&E they show the documentary: "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" and it is quite revelatory along this line, especizlly the picture of the gunman behind the fence on the grassy knoll. In my opinion those who participated in the coverup of the real killers are as guilty as those who planned it.

Thanks for the input. I thought it might be. On its face it would seem to be an impossibly huge piece of evidence to miss.
