> The Zapruder film clearly shows Kennedy being hit from the front when approaching the grassy knoll.

No, it doesn't.

> And when the official government story has a single magic bullet making 7 injuries by going in all crazy directions

Another lie:

> Well it was a conspiracy theory that become true, actually.

You're confusing the issue by bringing up an irrelevant matter. The phrase 'conspiracy theory' has a definite definition in English and it isn't just a theory that involves a conspiracy. It's a theory about a massive conspiracy involving many people over a long span of time. Words (and a noun phrase is a 'word') have meanings based on usage, not logic.




This is clearly becoming out of topic, but there's not only the Zapruder film that attests of the front shot. Numerous witnesses saw gunfire coming from behind the fence and heard shots coming from different areas. Do you mean to say they are all part of conspiracy fools ? And if that was not enough, Oswald being able to do such a shot was not very likely at best: he was never known to be good shot in the army, and the rifle he supposedly used could not allow rapid-fire such as shown in the Warren Report. And he would have been firing perfect shots through dense tree leaves.

Yeah, the official version make total sense, for sure. Oswald himself said he was a patsy - why is that not considered a possibility ?


I don't like to get involved, but..

>Numerous witnesses saw gunfire coming from behind the fence and heard shots coming from different areas

Eye witnesses are beyond useless at everything. Gunshots echo. No one 'saw' gunfire. Everyone filled in their own blanks.

For example, big aircraft crash at an English airshow. Of the hundreds of people asked what they saw only one remembered correctly. There have also been more scientific studies into this. (eg something about a video of a speeding car, some participants were told there was a barn in the video, there was not. 3 days later when asked about the barn a significantly higher % of people who had been told there was a barn said they saw one.)

Anyway. I have no opinion on the assassination - but if I was trying to make an argument for anything the last thing I would take as true is the statements of witnesses.


> Oswald being able to do such a shot was not very likely at best

The man was a Marine. He was a trained rifleman making a shot that, for him, was close range.

> he would have been firing perfect shots

No. He missed once.

You claim to do research, and to know things, but you get basic facts wrong. This is a common thing to find among conspiracy theorists: Their conspiracies rest on factual inaccuracies.


I just realized I get an internet point every time this thread gets a reply. ~Keep going!~
