The Kennedy Thread

[SsM]

it's surreal, like, this can't be authentic.

It's the first time I have looked at them as an adult. I saw them when I was like 14 or 15... and nothing like this seemed to bother me then.. Now it's just a whole new perspective...

 

[Matt]

I personally think there was either a second gunman or at least something else in play (more conspirators, someone funding Oswald/hired Ruby, etc)...however, as Norman said, its not entirely out of the realm of possibility that he worked alone.

 

[StorminNorman]

If anyone was responsible, it was likely LBJ or another American official. I see no reason, however, to doubt LHO was responsible for the shooting itself.

 

[SsM]

LBJ is totally suspicious >_<

 

[Matt]

LBJ...the real life President Logan.

 

[Matt]

But yeah, Kennedy was screwing over a lot of people...from the mob to corporate America to government factions. Meanwhile, LBJ was essentially more of a pawn. I don't think he was directly responsible, but I think installing him office could've been the ultimate goal of the Kennedy assassination and he could've been aware of the plot, which could've led to the nervous breakdown that caused him to not seek a second term.

There is completely no way that Oswald worked alone. He took part in it. But he didn't do it alone.

 

[StorminNorman]

He didn't do everything by himself, but it's very possible all the shots came from him.

 

[Matt]

You never know...he could've just been a fringe lunatic working on his own or he could be a government agent working to keep Kennedy from revealing that we have aliens in custody in Area 51 to the public.. Unfortunately, we will never know as he was killed.

^ Poor Matt, The men in black are going to come for you now. Didnt E Howard Hunts deathbed confession include George Bush sr as the grassy knoll gunman?

 

[Motown Marvel]

Who killed him?

 

[BatMatt]

Who killed him?

Jack Ruby

 

[The Major]

Jack Ruby

Thanks.

 

[Yurka]

The Watchmen depiction was surprisingly accurate, it looked nearly identical to the Zapruder film, except the Zapruder film is actually more graphic

I enjoy people talking about things like this.. such as Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac killer..


The subject has always interested me..

 

[Excel]

This is rather morbid, but I can't think of a more appropriate place to discuss it.

Have any of you seen the Watchmen film? If so, you'll likely recall the depiction of President Kennedy's assassination. My question is: was that fact or fiction? I always believed that Kennedy was just shot in the chest or something.

Youtube the Zapruder film. You see a big chunk of his head fly out in a cloud of red.

 

[SsM]

Oh my GOD. How did jackie not get hit?!

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Anyone think that J. Edgar Hoover knew about the plot to assasinate President Kennedy, but did nothing about it? It was Kennedy who wanted to remove Hoover from the FBI.

Eh, it's certainly plausible. I think Hoover was behind the MLK assassination as well.

 

[StorminNorman]

Hoover was the most powerful man in Washington for decades.

 

[SuperFerret]

Eh, it's certainly plausible. I think Hoover was behind the MLK assassination as well.

Damn.

lol at the "Jackie Kennedy was trying to get down and scoop up Kennedy's brains and put them back in his head" comment how naive of you to believe that

It's in the video.... People around her said that's what she was doing.

There is photographic and filmic evidence of it and she and other eye witnesses have said as much.

That's like saying "how naive to say Jack Ruby killed Oswald," even though that is what happened...on camera.
