JFK: Conspiracy or lone nut??

[Jason Fraker]

I just watched Oliver Stone's JFK again (usually do around the holiday season, dunno why), and cracked open my copy of the Warren Commission's Report, and I've become re-obsessed with the Kennedy assassination lately.

Just wondering what you guys think:

1) The Warren Commission and Michael Baden (google him) are correct. Two shots, back to front, and a third that missed the car and wounded James Teague. This would include the 'magic bullet theory' hitting Kennedy and Connaly and causing 7 wounds while remaining in perfect condition. Lee Harvey Oswald is the only rifleman and he acted alone (ie: no help from the military intel. the mob or the cubans)

2) Garrison/Stone are correct. There was a fouth shot (or 5th or 6th) and at least two gunmen. Did the fatal head shot come from the front and send Kennedy's head 'back and to the left, back and to the left' as Stone & Garrison claim? Was it a huge cover-up to protect certain rich whities' interests in Vietnam, etc...?

Just wandering what you guys think...

I have no doubt in my mind it was a government job, NSA, CIA, or other..... my 2 cents.

As far as I know, D-Frag, the NSA doesn't handle stuff like assassinations, they're more into snooping/stealth technology and code-breaking. The CIA are the ones Kennedy had a beef with after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. He even said he was going to break them into 1,000 pieces and cast them into the sea. I think it was a military/CIA hit myself.

However, Michael Baden is the formost Medical Examiner in the country, and he says 'two shots, back to front' killed Kennedy and injured Connely. Of course, he was only given what the govt. wanted to give him to analyze in the '70's when he made those determinations.

I thought more of you would sound off on this. Oh well, I guess I was wrong.

I am honestly not familiar enough with the whole story to make an intelligent comment.

. . . although I guess that doesn't stop me normally!

I haven't lost my mind... it's backed up on disk somewhere.

I, too, haven't researched it very much, but I'm inclined to think there was some sinister plot behind the assassination because it makes for a more interesting story.

Good point, DY. It is much more cinematic that way.

I believe the second shooter was a future version of JFK himself. ( a small few of you will know what I'm talking about) /emoticons/biggrin.gif

I love children but I don't think I could eat a whole one.

Does anybody remember that X-files episode where about the JFK assasination? It was a while back but if I remember correctly it showed the Mysterious Smoking Guy as a young man hiding in a gutter drainage hole with his gun aimed up at JFK on the day of the assassination. I thought it was an interesting story on the possiblity of a second shooter. Anybody remember that one? I dont' remember all the details.
