Oliver Stone(d) garbage movie "JFK" is considered by some to be a documentary.

Old, discredited theories like the "magic bullet" are still said to be true, even though they are based on lies about ballistics and the layout of the Kennedy limo.

Mostly it's due to actual reality being boring.

Just more fun to read or watch stuff about "secrets" and "conspiracies" and such.

But I agree that it should be THOROUGHLY DISCREDITED.

This is the usual diagram used to "prove" it wan't a single bullet.



Except this diagram is a lie.
Connelly was seated in a removable "jump seat" which was lower than Kennedy.

Also actual *GASP* ballistics showed the direct line the 2nd bullet took.



I know a guy who was a medic, in Vietnam.
He saw a bullet go through not just one, or two soldiers, but THREE.
And the bullet looked in better shape than the "magic bullet."

Speaking of which, that bullet is not "pristine."
It looks like someone pounded on it to flatten it a little.
This happens when a bullet hits a bone, sideways, while tumbling.
The "Mythbusters" were able to show this.
As have other sources.

Can I absolutely *PROVE* that I'm right? No.
But all the available credible evidence points to one guy.
A guy so far to the left he even hated Russia, owned that rifle, and had delusions of grandeur while being a complete jackass.

Do you really think trying to understand
who killed him and why is in some way
not "remembering" him?

Pretend money doesn't trump peace all you want, from Vietnam to Afghanistan, from Somalia to El Salvador and elsewhere. The ENEMIES of JFK -- and Democracy -- now use their wealth to gain power and use power to protect their wealth and position, just like in feudal days. It's evident when you consider the rich are above the law, except when the rich get ripped off by a rich person.

If you don't see that, FLPanhandle, you need to read more. Television isn't bringing it up, nor do the trolls online.
