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

-- xave (sl...), September 14th, 2006.

Deep Politics and the Death of JFK?

i agree, it's an interesting read.

for me, the most plausible scenario is the one discussed in this book:

Live By the Sword by Gus Russo

it more or less argues for Oswald acting alone, but creates context for his motivations.

here's the forward from the book for good measure.

Kennedy — An Unfinished Life, by Robert Dallek

You could also say much the same about 9/11.

The dude defected to the Soviet Union! Do people forget this? Also, some dude he was in the service with thought he was a fake commie working for the CIA to find real ones.

Kerry Thornley!

Later, the KGB figured that Oswald acted with potential mob help, and that the CIA and FBI didn't care since Kennedy was out of their hair.

Also the dude who wrote a BOOK about Oswald pre assasination!

Well, there's no convincing evidence for string theory, yet, and we're not giving up on that.

Berating conspiracy theorists for lacking evidence has always struck me as rather unscientific. You invent hypotheses and then gather evidence, right?, not the other way around. If you totally disregard hypotheses that lack evidence, no one would ever gather evidence and there'd be a moratorium on new ideas.

It's only been sixty years, and that's nuthin. Sometimes it takes centuries to solve a murder.

however, Squirrel Police OTFM about the scientific method

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

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.
