Trump Likely to Block Release of Some JFK Files

[Common Sense]

JFK is a gateway drug for conspiracy theory folks.

They think they can handle the grassy knoll...next thing you know they're mainlining building 7 videos with Illuminati chasers.

JFK is a gateway drug for conspiracy theory folks.

It absolutely is.

I have a theory about that. Some people cannot believe that world events can be determined by the actions of a single, insignificant little man like Oswald. To them, there has to be something bigger and more powerful behind it all.

The idea that some things are just exactly as they appear to be doesn't work for them. There has to be some dark, sinister force driving things. Part of it too, is not doing proper research, like in the example of the bullet Ethereal posted. The "magic bullet" wasn't deformed in the same was as one that hit heavy bone, because it passed through Kennedy's neck. It didn't encounter heavy bone. People still say that with the Carcano rifle that Oswald used, even the best marksman could not have got off as many shots as Oswald allegedly did, even though it has been done dozens of times under near identical circumstances.

There is just so much evidence in support of the lone gunman theory that you almost have to deliberately ignore it in order to believe there was more than one shooter.

No I'm not. I'm claiming a conspiracy because (a) the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded it was a conspiracy and (b) the evidence overwhelmingly supports that theory of JFK's death.



I've defended them to the extent warranted by the challenges posed to me.



First of all, the only people who know what the autopsy revealed were the people in the room at the time. There is no photographic or videographic evidence to corroborate their version of events. And one of the most important pieces of forensic evidence, Kennedy's brain, went missing. So as far as the autopsy is concerned, it proves nothing about a single shooter. In fact, the irregularities surrounding the autopsy are far more compelling than the conclusions asserted by the autopsy.

As for the video evidence, maybe it indicates one shooter and maybe it doesn't. The same is true of the ballistics. But one thing I will say about the ballistic evidence is that it's dubious to say the least. Here is a picture of the bullet the government claims went through JFK and Governor Connally (CE 399), including bone, and the same kind of bullet fired into various test materials:



The bullet on the far right (CE 856) was fired into the wrist bone of a human cadaver. I'll let people arrive at their own conclusions.

This is what happens when the untrained and uninformed start jumping to conclusions.

That bullet wasn't very deformed because it took this path through the body.

I want a return to a Constitutional government. I am not rabidly, sickly anti-government. You are. Once you go there I see no reason to continue.

You defend your views only when you think they can be defended. Otherwise you just make excuses in the hope that no one will notice your evasion. Do you think it's working?

I recognize you are anti-government. There is nothing I could ever do to convince you to change your mind. Why bother?

The term "conspiracy theory" is just a way of avoiding debate and reinforcing conventional wisdom, wisdom which turns out to be wrong more often than not.
