Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
Bugliosi, best known as Charles Manson's prosecutor, spent more than 20 years writing this defense of the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the slaying of President Kennedy.
Tom Hanks and HBO will be making a doco about this. I was a JFK nut in high school and would love to read it. Has anyone braved it?
i think its reached the point that whatever 'new' evidence or intense research is done, people have already made up their minds whether oswald was either an extremely good or extremely lucky shot, or the grassy knoll is a fine sniper nest.
In an interview, Bugliosi said that if you're still not convinced after buying his book, he'd give you his money back.
I guess, after 1600 pages you could convince me that dogs can't look up.
''Smoking Man'' from The X-Files shot JFK.
1600 pages? he apparently doesnt know the difference between 'exhaustive' and 'exhausting'.
It's like watching Zodiac 47 times in a row!
47? shit, after enduring that, i'd even confess i did it...
1600 pages! :-O
no fanx
when is stuff becoming declassified?
2142
Only gets declassified if it was classified. Black Ops just disappear
castro will confess to his involvement on his deathbed.
heehhe gosh he was almost there a few months back. seems to have got a second wind
Castro killed Chuck Barris. Nobody has even acknowledged his death.
Latest (possibly fabricated) evidence points to mob involvement in an attempt to get at bobby and his anti-mob crusade. hitting bobby would have seemed too obvious goes the rationale.
as a conspiracy theory the whole family can enjoy, I wholeheartedly support this version of events. in fact I hope it turns out just like it did in American Tabloid (including jack ruby's personal habits).
I've read a lot, and it seems blatantly obvious that the New Orleans mafia arranged the hit. To conclude Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone is to ignore mountains of evidence. The Warren Commission was hopeless, either deliberately or just due to incompetence.
Did you see any of Jack's brains lying on the road?
I didn't realise I was ment to be BEHIND the fence, but what ever...

Idiot, it's accuracy not velocity.
nah it was accurate dude., it had a scope. and Oswald knew how to set it up. the velocity confirms the rifles guage man...it wasn't that powerful. but yeah it did the job alright.
look, fools, I'm working now & given the choice of arguing with Ill-informed rubes & making money I choose the later.
yeah yeah go get ya money. btw I still wear them thongs! thanks!
billions of nameless people have died before and after the morally dubious JFK took those bullets 'slayer. learn from it.
yes we know..not the point of this discussion but yes peter WE KNOW.
yawn....
yeah, watch, listen to the cricket.

Great book.
Anyone ever read this little piece by J.G Ballard? It's called 'The Assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy Considered as a Downhill Motor Race'.

Appears in the 'Atrocity Exhibition'.
thanks for the link. that's pretty cool.
Peter, you are growing increasingly more pathetic. Why do you bother writing in a thread in a way that is completely dismissive of everyone's view and then flee when someone attempts to respond? It seems like a complete waste of time, no?
Wait a second...
peter..jfk show on in a sec. perhaps watch it.
sbs
a good one peter. last night I was back on the conspiracy (for a while) but still it just doesn't add up the 2 shooter thing. mainly cos the acoustic evidence makes no sense. that area around dealy plaza with low walls and it's kind of a bowl shape..well a shot would echo perhaps have a slapback and a repeat as in delay so people could of thought they heard the grassy knowl shot when it was an echo, or a heavy reverb. be interesting to do some acoustic tests in the area and see what echos' delays happened with a large crack or report from a rifle etc...
the primary evidence still makes little sense. not the magic bullet theory more like the angle of the hit. but I might watch jfk again me thinks..
it'll always be fascinating.
Shit I missed it! Was it part 2 of last weeks doco?
has anyone seen that king of the hill episode where dale visits Dealy Plaza? he freaks out because things aren't where he thought they were and it looks likely the Oswald acted alone. quite fucking funny
ToDay LHO was shot by Jack Ruby.
Who had nothing...nothing to do with the mafia being a nightclub owner.
