Conspiracy To Assassinate JFK

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I'm as big a JFK hack as anyone here... and have been since I was about 8... considering I'm 30 in 5 months... that tells you how long I've been reading and examining this stuff.

My favourite film is JFK, not because I believe the ridiculous conspiracy they've set up (and occasionally lose track of) in it... because I don't... but because it's such a lush and technically brilliant film.

Over time, I've found myself move further and further away from the wide-ranging conspiracy. I think there is probably enough odd things surrounding this to suggest more than one person knew what was going on. But to think military intelligence, Cuban exiles, the CIA and mob bosses knew what was going to happen is just IN-SANE.

So much of the conspiracy evidence is based on a willful ignorance of facts.

1. The alleged last-minute route-change... this is garbage and I'll tell you why. In order to get from Main St onto the Stemmon's Freeway, you have to turn onto Houston and make the turn onto Elm, as the Limo would have had to mount road dividers to get onto the freeway...

2. The 'back and the to the left', the long-held view that Kennedy's violent backward's reaction to the head shot suggests a shot from the right-front... of course forgetting basic wound ballistics. A gun shot to the head, as a shot into any pressurised container, creates a large exit with considerable amounts material being projected. If you look at the Zapruder film it tells you several things, at frame 313, Kennedy's head bobs down, then by the next frame it is starting it's backward momentum as the material from the exit wound is projected out forcing the head backwards in what is called the 'jet effect'. Note the debris spray would have gone up and to the rear in the initial explosion... if the shot was from the front, but it didn't, the spray went up and to the front...

My view of the head wound is that more than likely he was shot from the rear but the projectile had a very shallow path along the top right of the skull. What that ended up doing was to essentially create number significant fractures and a tearing motion, which would explain the clear evidence of a fist-palm sized hole over Kennedy's right ear toward the forehead, as well as the eyewitness evidence of a wound in the right rear. So instead of causing a clean entry and clean exit... the tearing motion meant there was a lot bone attached to scalp creating a situation were it was impossible to determine the nature of the wound at the hospital. Personally, I think a big reason for this was White House trying to cover up just how large and disfiguring the head wound was.

Now... I still have questions about the throat wound, how the Parkland doctor's saw a small clean entry wound, but even with the tracheotomy that was performed... the Parkland doctors have no idea how that throat wound became so large.

A conspiracy could well exist, but I think if there was one, it was a small, tightly organised group, not some traitorous attack by the military and intelligence community. I think if they want to destroy Kennedy, all they needed to do was leak the intelligence on Kennedy's affairs before the 1964 election... that would have destroyed his career and his legacy.

The fact that people profited from a change in regime is not evidence of a conspiracy... my biggest pet peeve.
