Did Jackie Kennedy kill JFK?

Check out the Zapruder film and watch Jackie Kennedy's behavior. It looks to me like she shot JFK point-blank. Notice the rigid position of her right elbow just before the head shot. Also, there is possibly gun smoke appearing around JFK's head exactly at the time of the head shot. Plus, trajectories of fragments can be seen shooting upwards in some frames. Mr. Connally also acts suspicious. It looks like he pretends to be clueless directly after the neck shot (at which time JFK seems to be affected by some fast-acting poison and goes limp like a rag doll). And meanwhile Jackie is holding a steady gaze at Mr. Connally! That's strange, isn't it? Shouldn't she at that moment be more concerned about the health of her husband? Then it looks like Mr. Connally briefly turns to meet Jackie's gaze and quietly gives a go ahead order to Jackie who then puts her arm behind JFK's head and then bang!

I thought that this was a parody thread of some sort, but have just looked at your earlier posts and, sadly, it isn't. :(
 
You're right! And she picked a real quiet place to do it too, where she wouldn't be seen by anyone. Nice one, Columbo.

She must have been awfully relieved to have escaped suspicion for nearly fifty years given that, on paper, it was a woefully ill-conceived plan: If I just shoot him in the head while driving slowly past the crowd-lined streets of Dallas in broad daylight with the secret service around I might be the last one they suspect, nevermind the fact I spend pretty much every other moment of the day with him.

In fact, this is also one of the big objections I have to any of the other conspiracy theories that involved massive government complicity. If so much of the government was involved then why would they take the chance of multiple shooters getting caught by thronging crowds among all those police and security staff. It would clearly not make sense for anyone with regular access to the president the rest of the time to take the chance of shooting him there.
 
But, seriously, check out the Zapruder clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-cri43ttTo

Does it look like Jackie is behaving like an ordinary first lady and innocent housewife? Yes? No?

I am not sure how housewives usually react when in the back of a car getting shot at with her husbands brains spattering her. Could you explain what behaviour would be ordinary and your reasons for knowing this.

A good housewife would obviously have something readily at hand to clean up the blood and brains.

I would expect a little more concern from Jackie about her husband's condition instead of staring with a fixed gaze at Mr. Connally. It looks to me like a thoroughly planned event, executed with cold precision.
 
Why didn't she just poison him at home?

That would have been a hidden assassination. This was a hidden in plain sight assassination. And if JFK was killed in his own home, then other people may have been in charge of the security and the autopsy investigation etc.

I first learned about this theory some year ago. Here is website about this:

I must say that JFK CTs, while quite silly, are usually variations around the "second gunman" theme. This one sets the bar incredibly high. Is it possible for anyone to formulate a more ridiculous theory?

There is also the "driver was the shooter" theory. Those are possibly conspiracy baits. Presented to the public as smokescreens. Leading conspiracy believers into endless detours.

I think it's an example of the 'big lie' tactics.

"... in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation." -- Adolf Hitler , Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X

Yes, but the problem with that theory is that it is an example of the Groucho Paradox.

No government needs to worry about anyone dumb enough to believe such theories.
 
Here is another website about this theory: http://www.realityreviewed.com/JFK murder.htm

That website describes two trajectories shooting upwards. And I have checked the frames and yes there are two separate trajectories at different angles. Created by an expanding bullet (small entry wound, large exit wound): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0irGSY-da8

Plus the website has this small image, and despite the grainy quality, what appears to be gunsmoke (together with exploded brain tissue, yuck) appearing around JFK's head exactly at the moment of the head shot is clearly visible:

Notice how the gunsmoke drifts backwards after appearing around JFK's head.
