To me, the ballistics do not add up at all. Magic bullet that zigzagged through both Kennedy and the Governor, shattering his wrist yet ends up found on a gurney in the hospital undeformed?
The docs doing the autopsy forced to recount statements on entrance and exit wounds.
The Zapruder film, wound on Kennedy's head just don’t jive to me. Three shots with a bolt action rifle through heavy foliage at a moving target…
Seems sketchy.
Your info seems sketchy. I thought a staunch conservative like yourself would know better than to trust a Hollywooder like Oliver Stone. But for ***** and giggles, let's dive in.
First, let's debunk a few of Stone's ******** claims. In the movie, he claims Oswald is an average shot at best. That simply isn't true. On more than one occasion, Oswald graded out as a marksman by Marine standards. He was more than capable of firing off three shots in the allotted time and hitting his target.
Next, Stone would have you believe that the photo of Oswald with the gun was altered and that the shadows didn't match up. This is false on all levels. Oswald's wife said that she took the picture herself. Furthermore, Oswald gave a copy of the photo to one of his friends and signed the back of it. Numerous handwriting specialists concluded it was Oswald's signature. Numerous experts also concluded unequivocally that the shadows in the photo did match up correctly.
I would go into the "magic bullet theory" but legalbeagle already covered it. I will say though that there are numerous videos on YouTube of animated recreations of the event that would no doubt be used in court had the incident occurred in modern times. They all show the same thing, that the 3 shots all came from the same corner window of the book depository building. The Zapruder film confirms this. The first shot fired missed. You can see Governor Connally look around to see where the noise came from. The second shot hits both JFK and Connally, as both men react simultaneously. JFK's arms go up and Connally clearly looks distressed. Just as beagle stated, Connaly's seat sat lower than the President's which caused to bullet to enter and exit both men in a peculiar fashion. The third shot was the one to JFK's head. All 3 shots came from the same spot. There was no other evidence of any other bullets or gunfire from another spot, not even the infamous grassy knoll.
Now take a closer look at Oswald. Seven months prior to the JFK assasination, a shot was fired through the living room window of ultra conservative former Army general Edwin Walker. At the time, it was unknown who fired the shot. After Oswald's capture, it was confirmed that the shot was fired with the same rifle that was used to kill the President.
When news of the assassination spread, Oswald's own brother said he knew immediately that it was Lee who killed the president. The reason? Oswald was a nobody who wanted to be somebody. He wanted to be remembered for something significant. He wanted to go down in history. But his life wasn't panning out in that manner. Down and out with no job and a struggling marriage, Oswald grew more desperate and more crazy. His wife's friend mentioned that her brother had gotten a job at the book depository building and that they still needed help.
That's when the stars began to align. The week of the President's visit, his motorcade route was printed in the newspaper. Oswald could see that it would pass right in front of his place of work. The President also had the option of having plexiglas covering the car in case of such scenarios. JFK declined, thinking it would be bad optics to the people of Dallas. Oswald's big chance was before him and the President was in clear sight. Oswald capitalized on the opportunity.
As for Jack Ruby, he was known for his quick temper. He was also very friendly with the Dallas Police being the owner of a strip club many of them frequented. He was seen in many photos just after the assassination hanging around the police station. After he shot Oswald, he boasted to friends about having the balls to kill Oswald, something many in the country wanted to do at that time.
I could add much more but that seems like enough for the moment.
