Quick Comment on JFK

11-23-11

Yesterday was the 48th anniversary of the John F Kennedy assassination. I certainly haven't found anything new, but I have spent a good bit of time over the past couple of days watching various video footage and reading a few articles about it, just as sort of a personal refresher on the history.

You don't see these types much anymore, but today in the comment section of an article I had just read, someone shared his belief in the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. This commenter said he had "no rational reason" to believe otherwise.

I suppose it's possible he's unaware of the House Select Committee on Assassinations finding in its 1979 final report that JFK's murder was the result of a conspiracy, so we'll let that one slide. After all, we are talking about Congress. Not the most credible group in the world, not even 32 years ago.

But nobody gets a pass on the Zapruder film, which quite clearly shows Kennedy's head snapping backwards when the shot hits. I have yet to hear anyone explain exactly how it's physically possible for a shot fired from BEHIND to accomplish this. This is THE most obvious evidence of a conspiracy to kill JFK, and it's been right there in the open for 48 years. Pretty stunning how so many can just blatantly ignore this ugly truth, as if doing so will somehow make it go away.

I'm hopeful that the 50th anniversary in 2013 will reveal some new bombshell piece of evidence, given the long held belief of many (including yours truly) that the Kennedy assassination is largely responsible for where we are as a country even today, and that until the complete, definitive truth of that tragic day in 1963 is revealed to the world, We the People will find it next to impossible to take our country back.
