Its time for folks to accept the facts BootinUp Nov 2013 #1
The special points out that the JFK murder and the skepticism that ensued stopbush Nov 2013 #2
Your points are certainly worth some thought. nt BootinUp Nov 2013 #3
Yep. HijackedLabel Nov 2013 #5
There's a weird undercurrent there, though. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #16
Nothing weird at all. Ellsberg gained classified status. The others in the digital era did, too. ancianita Nov 2013 #94
Quite weird, actually, nyquil_man Nov 2013 #95
Not a single person with classified status could uncover missing physical evidence or interview ancianita Nov 2013 #97
I'll try to pretend you didn't write it. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #98
This is the first time in decades that I've given that event any attention. ancianita Nov 2013 #129
Not the CT's of that time. There's no "obsession" going on. There's the abiding knowledge that truth ancianita Nov 2013 #96
Crazy unsupported nonsense? noise Nov 2013 #6
It is also not supported by one single piece of physical evidence. nt BootinUp Nov 2013 #8
So the magic bullet theory noise Nov 2013 #9
The "magic bullet theory" is a CT lie. Archae Nov 2013 #10
You mean the single bullet fact. Reconstructed BootinUp Nov 2013 #11
The magic bullet theory is a load of bullshit. Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #30
Nope. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #38
So you believe the government? BootinUp Nov 2013 #39
heh. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #40
hey, that actually makes sense. nt BootinUp Nov 2013 #43
Well said Spider oswaldactedalone Nov 2013 #152

When I said it was bullshit, I was referring to the CT "magic" aspect. Not the single bullet theory. Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #44
Sorry, you weren't especially clear (n/t) Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #45
so a bullet shot from above entered JFK's back and exited his neck? scheming daemons Nov 2013 #64

Okay, explain what was up with Oswald in Mexico. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #116
he went there, so what? BootinUp Nov 2013 #119
Yeah. So then why was someone impersonating him on the phone to the Soviets and Cubans? Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #122
The forensic evidence kills all the conspiracies. longship Nov 2013 #4
Most CT buffs get their forensic training by watching Scooby Doo cartoons. Archae Nov 2013 #12
ouch! that was funny, possibly exaggerated for effect. nt BootinUp Nov 2013 #14
Hey! Let's have no "Scooby Doo" abuse here. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #33
There actually were some good lessons in Scooby Doo, LOL BootinUp Nov 2013 #36
Kasey Kasem was the voice of Shaggy vt_native Nov 2013 #126
After watching the cold case on Nova marlakay Nov 2013 #7
So Johnson hired Oswald as a hitman nyquil_man Nov 2013 #13
I believe Johnson was instrumental in helping to plan JFK's assassination Samantha Nov 2013 #15
In 2013 noise Nov 2013 #17
So when you asked for information in an earlier post BootinUp Nov 2013 #20
It was a rhetorical question noise Nov 2013 #22
That claim you just made suggests you have read the WCR. BootinUp Nov 2013 #23
I did not noise Nov 2013 #24
A 911 truther too eh? BootinUp Nov 2013 #25
Is it ever ok to question the government? noise Nov 2013 #29
Non-Sequitur BootinUp Nov 2013 #31
You associated noise Nov 2013 #34
Since you asked BootinUp Nov 2013 #35
Please don't confuse habitual rejection of reality with questioning authority Gravitycollapse Nov 2013 #42
Is it OK to totally ignore evidence and embrace fantasy just because you feel like it? stopbush Nov 2013 #52
And if you read any newspapers, nyquil_man Nov 2013 #26
Mopping up the scene of the crime doesn't take competence. Steering a commission to make ancianita Nov 2013 #100
Okay, let's delve into this. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #102
I wasn't there and I didn't see it. I would like to delve into it. 50 years ago, all I could gather ancianita Nov 2013 #108
And we're back to learned helplessness. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #117
Well, how do you propose I unlearn it? I'll give your suggestions a try. ancianita Nov 2013 #120
It might help to stop acting as though it's impossible to prove you're right. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #121
There is. Opening the National Archives. Re-opening this cold case and allowing digital sleuths to ancianita Nov 2013 #123
That's better. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #124
Setting up classified parameters above their pay grade. It's not as if the commission had ancianita Nov 2013 #127
Well, when you get to restate other people's arguments in such a facile way, Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #27
The problem CT's have is with the evidence processing and lack of transparency and archiving ancianita Nov 2013 #99
You realize that the Warren Commission didn't just produce a single volume report, yes? nyquil_man Nov 2013 #130
Much later I learned that, yes, while involved in single parent and job struggles. ancianita Nov 2013 #131
No, the 26 volumes were released concurrently. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #133
Then I forgot. I was in high school that year, but got a single summary volume when at FSU ancianita Nov 2013 #134
Here's a pretty good resource: nyquil_man Nov 2013 #135
Lets look at a review of that. BootinUp Nov 2013 #18
Lyndon Johnson noise Nov 2013 #19
The single bullet fact I posted is waiting for you above BootinUp Nov 2013 #21
I am just stating opinion not fact marlakay Nov 2013 #48
I think that is a very poor review of the documentation McClellan presents Samantha Nov 2013 #49
The Mac Wallace Fingerprint Found On A Box On The Sixth Floor avaistheone1 Nov 2013 #61
Darby's Affidavit pertaining to the print match is an exhibit in the book Blood, Money & Power Samantha Nov 2013 #63

Are you sure you meant for this reply to be to me? BootinUp Nov 2013 #88
followup BootinUp Nov 2013 #89
Oh, sorry. Yes, I thought it was good that it was brought up and just added my 2¢. stopbush Nov 2013 #90
You need to read about the Bobby Baker scandal... roamer65 Nov 2013 #151
RWers love when liberals accuse LBJ of having JFK killed. stopbush Nov 2013 #51
Yes he did carry out many of JFK's planned programs Samantha Nov 2013 #53
JFK escalated our involvement in Nam from 400 military advisers to over 16,000. stopbush Nov 2013 #54
This is a discussion about JFK's assassination, not the Vietnam war, but to address your point Samantha Nov 2013 #55
I am 59 years old and was subject to the draft, even though the war was winding down. stopbush Nov 2013 #56
+1 BootinUp Nov 2013 #58
I think we can agree to disagree on this Samantha Nov 2013 #60
Just because no one has taken the time to refute utter idiocies stopbush Nov 2013 #66
I do not appreciate your condescending attitude and derisive statements Samantha Nov 2013 #71
For a person who has no qualms about accusing LBJ of planning to have JFK killed, stopbush Nov 2013 #75
You need to be more careful with your words Samantha Nov 2013 #81
I'll watch my words when u stop having your own set of facts. stopbush Nov 2013 #83
There is a HUGE difference between stating an opinion and making a public accusation of guilt Samantha Nov 2013 #85
I have just reread the entire Wikipedia page on the HSCA. Nowhere does it say the HSCA retracted stopbush Nov 2013 #86
Robert Kennedy Jr's story this week contradicts this entirely: mattclearing Nov 2013 #125
RFK Jr was 14 years old when his dad was killed. stopbush Nov 2013 #137
No one is perfect. mattclearing Nov 2013 #138
No one is perfect, but witnesses have been impeached in courts stopbush Nov 2013 #141
Despite all of this, the quotes check out: mattclearing Nov 2013 #144
Speaking of quotes, here's one from JFK's Ft Worth speech the day he was killed: stopbush Nov 2013 #145
Perhaps you think this reflection on past policy negates what I have posted. I don't see how. n/t mattclearing Nov 2013 #146
Past policy? Love how you try to characterize away stopbush Nov 2013 #147
And I love how you keep ignoring the facts and moving the goal posts. mattclearing Nov 2013 #149
I agree with you. roamer65 Nov 2013 #150
Yes, they do Samantha Nov 2013 #154
I don't think LBJ was complicit in anyway. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #28

It was, as expected, an MSM promotion of the 'Official Story' which is the real CT. sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #62
90% of Americans believed that Saddam had WMD. stopbush Nov 2013 #68
Where did you obtain that figure? Samantha Nov 2013 #72
Harris Poll - November 2004 stopbush Nov 2013 #73
The same Corporate MSM who are pushing the Warren Report also pushed the official sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #82

CNN... and Ted Bundy daycare service upi402 Nov 2013 #91
Guess it's true if the world's largest media conglomerate and their talking heads say it is, then. ancianita Nov 2013 #92
They're just reporting the evidence in the case, stopbush Nov 2013 #106
Yes. The evidence. Living through an event like that and knowing that not all the evidence was made ancianita Nov 2013 #112
RFK said that he had seen all the archives related to the assassination stopbush Nov 2013 #113
CNN is owned by Time Warner, correct? nyquil_man Nov 2013 #114
Heh heh. Sure. Profit allows for a lot of play. They don't have to make up their minds ancianita Nov 2013 #128
When you have the time Google "where was George H. W. Bush when JFK was murdered. Booster Nov 2013 #101
Proves nothing and means even less. stopbush Nov 2013 #105
Didn't even Google it, did ya? lol Booster Nov 2013 #107
Didn't need to. Anybody who has even a cursory interest in this case stopbush Nov 2013 #110
The evidence was altered. As expected in a cover-up. GoneFishin Nov 2013 #103
You're clearly delusional. stopbush Nov 2013 #104
Then why did they need to move it? For fun? n/t GoneFishin Nov 2013 #109
One could make a career informing you CTists of the basic facts in the case. stopbush Nov 2013 #111
You are just making shit up as you go aren't you? GoneFishin Nov 2013 #115
Wrong, Elmer. Go look at the drawings, photos and other evidence in the WCR. stopbush Nov 2013 #118
Really? A letter from Arlen Specter? Your right, I am not going to read more about Arlen Specter. GoneFishin Nov 2013 #132
Wow. Such willing ignorance is a bit astounding. stopbush Nov 2013 #136
Your logic is circular. Arlen Specter was involved in developing the magic bullet theory. GoneFishin Nov 2013 #140
The single bullet fact has been proven over and over again in tests run stopbush Nov 2013 #142
The magic bullet theory is a farce for consumption by the gullible. GoneFishin Nov 2013 #153
It's actually slightly more complicated than that, from what I understand. DanTex Nov 2013 #148
