JFK assassination: was any consensus ever reached as to who actually did it and why?

45 years ago today

white album 40 yrs old vs JFK assassination 45 yrs old POLL

In re: thread title question. The Warren Commission Report was meant to lay the basis for a national consensus.

Obv it failed in its stated purpose. But it came close enough that it achieved its major unstated purpose, which was to quell the national grief and anger and prevent it from spilling into irrational mob action.

JFK was an inside job - wake up, sheeple!

Or maybe it wasn't and I'm mixing it up with that ninety-one one thing, I'm not sure.

the gunman is shooting from inside his head!

thats deep

The Wrong Guy, a dark comedy starring Dave Foley, includes a scene of a conspiracy theorist claiming no bullet struck Kennedy, insisting "his head just did that", and calls it "The No Bullet Theory".

OMG! Years later, people constructed urban legends based on that very JFK fact!

I forgot that the Weekly World News is no more.

this should be a poll

well, that's certainly something.

its sad he was presidetn

fighting morbid temptation to post on 'ws of shame' thread

the exit hole is obscured

what is that photo? it cant be genuine as nobody was that close at that particular moment

if it weren't for the fact that it occurred during JFK's assassination, that photo would be remembered as the best ass photo for a First Lady.

JFK looks like he's hiding from the wrath of Jackie's ass.

yeah, this. it doesn't trip any photoshopping wires for me. what's the story? according to google, this image only shows up on tumblrs.

I think it's fake, prob from a movie set or something?

I hate that I had to watch the zapruder film again, but by the time jackie is in that position, there's already a secret service dude clinging on the rear

I think I see 'spring break 2009' tattooed on her leg

jfk would have looked a lot messier than that tbbh

man, wikipedia shows too much

I watched the old James Woods film True Believer last night. The character on whom the main story hinges adamantly believes that AT & T was behind the Kennedy assassination. Yes, it's played for laughs.

I love that movie.

could it be a cindy sherman piece?

that looks like a mannequin of jfk

Onlookers wearing bell bottoms

Yeah, this. I'm thinking of Ant Farm's The Eternal Frame but I don't know that film well enough to be able to conclusively say if this is from that or not.

but it's clearly not the real thing, I mean everybody seems so nonchalant and the people in the background are in bell-bottoms for pete's sake.

They got the Dealey Plaza part right.

But that SS agent looks nothing like Clint Eastwood, sorry try again.

the real lee harvey oswald

Is or isn't it fake? Someone get hold of Oliver Stone, we need to get to the mystery of this bottom. I mean, the bottom of this mystery.

salon runs these insane jfk conspiracy pieces every month or so. it's pretty hard to fathom why anyone still takes this stuff seriously.

"Back and to the left, back and to the left, move that ass girl back and to the left"

some good stuff here i didn't know. pretty scary imo.

Frame from The Eternal Frame, mentioned above. Seems very possible this could be the source of the "mystery jpg." They performed it, I think, 10 or 12 times in one day, on the hour - - so there will inevitably be details that don't match.

from recent article on robert caro:

"I get letters, constantly, saying, 'I see your book's coming. I hope you're going to prove in this book that LBJ did it,"' the award-winning and ongoing biographer of Lyndon Johnson says during a recent interview at his midtown Manhattan office. "Did it," as in killed President Kennedy.

"When I talk at colleges, you can hardly have a lecture or a speech without one of the first questions being, 'Are you going to prove that Johnson did it?' Or, 'Are you going to show that Johnson was involved in it?' And when you say Johnson had nothing to with it, you can feel the audience doesn't accept it. You lose your audience."

^^^ truly sad assessment IMO.

honestly there are probably more unanswered questions about the lincoln assassination than the JFK assassination.

blame Ollie Stone and Donald Sutherland.

it was a national obsession well before that movie, wasn't it?

ever since rush to judgment at the very least. alot of one star reviews on amazon for the new one due to caro 'covering up lbj's role in the assasination'.
