What a convenient revelation to have when it comes time to sell some books.

Re: New JFK assassination revelation could upend the lone gunman theory
#312Not directly related to this article, but I found the lone gunman theory much easier to accept after visiting the museum in the former book depository in Dallas. You can look down onto the plaza from the exact spot Oswald shot from, and you can easily imagine how the bullet fired from there would go through JFK and into the governor sitting in front of him. Not that this proves anything, it was just a "oh, I can tang…
I think the suspicious stuff about the JFK assassination is not the shot itself, but the fact that Oswald had a friend and mentor who was a CIA handler and Oswald himself was inexplicably murdered by Ruby before any real investigation could happen. Ruby's offered explanation - that he wanted to save Jackie a trial, doesn't seem plausible.
And Ruby's psychiatrist: Louis Jolyon West, extremely nefarious CIA MKUltra mind control contractor. https://www.nytimes.com/1964/04/29/archives/coast-psychiatri...

#313I don't know why people are so obsessed with this conspiracy theory. Occam's Razor says it was Oswald. Why invest time speculating and arguing over it when there is no way to verify anything? This new revelation doesn't change anything, it's just hearsay.
Define conspiracy theory. The Deep State involving every government man at the time? Most likely no. A few people? Possibly. Not just Oswald? Probably. Oswald not involved at all? Unlikely, but possible. There are degrees of probability and likelyhood.

But you can see from video evidence that they were sat aligned and Connolly was not turned. If you are in the room, you might be able to make the shots - although the FBI failed to, and Oswald was a lousy shot - but my main problem is that he could not have moved through the building as needed without being seen by some people, and not by others who did. The photos of Kennedy do not show a small wound in the back of…
On the contrary, what you can see in the Zapruder film is comletely consistent with the bullet trajectories lining up. [0] This documentary I watched recently is long, but it puts all the eyewitness testimony of Oswald in the depository building into one big spacial timeline [1]. There are some inconsistencies (like you would expect when aggregating a bunch of eyewitness testimony from fallible humans) but there's no…

#315JFK was trying to stop Israel's nuclear weapons program: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/kennedy-administration-...
Wow, yep. That'll do it.
Re: New JFK assassination revelation could upend the lone gunman theory
#316The problem with conversations about this topic and similar topics (9/11) is that almost no-one who cares about the topic deeply enough to have an argument about it online is interested because they're just super into ballistics and forensics and don't care about the political implications. It's all motivated reasoning because they don't like the _implications_ of the official story for whatever reason (or, alternati…

#317A great and semi related book is The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government
+1. The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War is a great complimentary biopic.

#318Wasn't there a documented operation that JFK didn't want to sign/rejected, that pertained to the CIA wanting to set up false flags to justify war against Cuba?
Found it: Operation Northwoods https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods
Re: New JFK assassination revelation could upend the lone gunman theory
#319I used to be passingly interested in the conspiracy part of the JFK assassination until I watched this EXTENSIVE in length and sourced video on the assassination: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC8tO16xdrY It's all very logical and straightforward.
I suppose it's impossible to prove the specifics of the conspiracy, but that Jack Ruby, a guy running strip clubs for the mafia, takes it upon himself to publically shoot Lee Harvey Oswald kind of proves to me that there was some kind of conspiracy. What other explanation could there possibly be? What Oswald might have said if we were kept alive... no one will ever know. But if there was nothing there, why did Jack R…
Some who knew Ruby theorized that he wanted to be a national hero by killing JFK's killer. Those who knew him said he was fairly emotional and hot-headed too.

Time dilation is well known to occur in dangerous situations. https://doi.org/10.1111%2Fpsyp.12836
Time dilation is pretty amazing. I experienced it one time when I accidentally put the car into a a skid at 70mph. I remember calmly realising the car was moving sideways. Having time to ponder that for a few moments. Then deciding to start steering into the skid. Then think about that for a while. Release the break a bit. Finally we did a full 360 and ended up in the middle of the road again. It seemed like it took…
My understanding of time dilation is that at the time the event is actually happening, things occur at normal speed, it's just that our memory of the event is time-dilated and so we remember everything slowing down and taking a long time.
