What is the straight dope about the story that sharpshooters could not recreate or renact the same shot that Oswald took to kill Kennedy? Enough myth and hearsay. What are the facts?

Will the Paul Political Dynasty one day rival the Kennedy Political Dynasty? President Ron Paul Senator Rand Paul

TMZ has obtained a picture of John F. Kennedy, possibly in the late 1950's on a boat with several naked women. Assuming this picture is indeed what it appears to be, would this have affected JFK's Presidential aspirations? Warning - the link below has grainy images of nekkid women. If you are...

http://www.youtube.com/user/WALRU11 Okay Walru11, you've got the floor for the kennedy assassination. And for the Moderators i request that this thread be moderated to avoid any problems.

Apparently, there are some who say the Zapruder film was tampered. Did the home movie of kennedy's assassination show any signs of alteration?

When Kennedy gets hit by the third shot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E66__vymfPA Around 1:13, he is shot, but he leans backwards. This is cited as proof that a second gunman was on the grassy knoll. So, what caused Kennedy's head to Jerk? ETA: Sorry wrong place. Request moderators to...

Was JFK a secret dove that would end vietnam and the cold war?

Was JFK warming up to the Soviet Union? http://wiki.alternatehistory.com/doku.php/offtopic/emperor_norton_i

I was watching the zapruder film when between frames 202 and 220, JFK is obscured by a sign. What happened between those frames?

I was reading about John Stockwell, and he says some interesting stuff about the kennedy assassination: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKstockwellJ.htm Is he a reliable source?

I learned who shot jfk. (Note, this is sarcastic) It was Elvis, who was doubling for bigfoot. Elvis was competing with JFK for popularity. Naturally, in the world of celebrities, things are about to get messy. So Elvis got one of his fans, Lee Harvey Oswald, to shoot JFK. Why? JFK was...

I read some interesting stuff about how big oil intended to kill jfk because he was getting rid of the oil depletion allowance. Not content with blackmiling him with sex scandals or knowledge of Addison's, Big oil apparently decided to off him. What was it really?

I was wondering, with all this woo around JFK, if there are any good sites other than the McAdams one regarding the assassination.

I saw a thread about closing the 9/11 subforum. And it made me think: Because the JFK assassination gets just as much websites as 9/11, Should we not have a JFK subforum?

I recently came across the Christchurch City Library's website. Among their extensive collection of scanned material is the Christchurch Star's edition of 23 November 1963. A mixture of luck (due to the timing of the assasination) and hard work meant that the paper was one of the first to be...

The Discovery Channel will air a program on Sunday that forensically examines the JFK assassination. Specifically they recreate the geometry of the shot and model JFK's head with some high tech goo that simulates a real skull. The program is to air on Sunday, Nov. 16th, but there are video clips...

I've spent the afternoon discussing the Kennedy assassination with some people who were rather under-educated about it, and falling for a number of red herrings. But a couple have asked a question I can't answer. Or at least, they're not satisfied with what answer I can give. Why didn't the...

It follows pretty much the same pattern as any conspiracy debate: conspiracy theorist throws out a dozen arguments for the conspiracy, skeptic refutes one of those arguments, CTist throws back a dozen more. Cue stock footage of Whack-a-Mole. I hadn't posted over there in like a year or so...

Leroy Fletcher Prouty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._Fletcher_Prouty Gerald Posner, who has written books about the JFK and MLK assassinations, has called this guy the ‘Forrest Gump of Assassination Conspiracies’ because he seems to pop up in a lot of them. He was an adviser to Oliver...

So the JFK assassination came up in a conversation a few weeks ago. It was mostly the usual nonsense easily refuted by pointing out a few facts (Yes, it is possible to fire three shots that fast, Kennedy was not sitting directly behind and level with Connelly etc.) One claim came up that I...

Woody Allen as Alvy Singer from Annie Hall. Wouldn't Woody Allen be the best director for a movie on the 9-11 Truth Movement?

Here we go again. How long until someone spins this into a new CT? It seems some memorabilia was found in the Dallas County DA's office. There is a transcript from what appears to be a proposed movie script of a collusion between Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. clicky

Dallas Morning News Unearthed a Transcript between Ruby and Oswald before Oswald was killed. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/021708dnmetjackruby.3bde49f.html I think it was during this interview Ruby planted the Thermite.:) Discuss

Thread title says it all. Please enlighten us, RedIbis.

I've noticed an inconsistency in some of the official Conspiracy Theory doctrine. Hardcore CTers are fond of saying that it doesn't really matter who is elected President. Democrat, Republican, Bush, Cheney, Clinton; it doesn't really matter who sits in the White House, because the President...

Before I have to return Reclaiming History to the library, here is a condensed summary of Bugliosi's summary of evidence against Oswald. from pgs. 955-966 1-8: 'curtain rods', guns, and uncharacteristic behavior of Oswald: Instead of visiting his wife and kids on a Friday, as usual, O. went...

Scientists cast doubt on Kennedy bullet analysis By John Solomon, washingtonpost.com Updated: 7:07 p.m. PT May 16, 2007 In a collision of 21st-century science and decades-old conspiracy theories, a research team that includes a former top FBI scientist is challenging the bullet analysis used...

Today's New York Times obituary reported the death of Dr. John K. Lattimer. A ballistics expert, Dr. Lattimer conducted numerous ballistics experiments relating to the JFK assassination and was the first non-governmental expert to view the autopsy photos and X-rays. His conclusion was...

Bill Whittle is one of the finest writers in the blogosphere. He has turned his awesome powers of logic and critical thinking on the conspiracy theorists in general and the 9-11 fruitcakes in particular. I cannot recommend this highly enough. He goes through JFK, chemtrails (good scientific...

The long-awaited analysis of the JFK murder by noted prosecutor and author Vincent Bugliosi is due to be published this year. As expected, it doesn't look good for the conspiracy mongers. Not that they'll ever let the president rest in peace. Bolding mine. From Amazon.com.
