63rd anniversary of the JFKA is approaching

[John Corbett]

To put this in perspective, JFK has been dead for 16+ more years than he was alive.

It has now been longer between JFKA and the present than it was between the McKinley assassination and the JFKA. I don't recall any sort of continued consternation about the McKinley assassination as there has been about the JFKA. For some reason, people just can't seem to put the JFKA in their rearview mirror. They want to keep it front and center. Of course as a JFKA buff myself, I am one of those people still fascinated by the story even though I am convinced the WC got it right when they released their report 62 years ago. I have said on numerous occasions that I do this for amusement only, even though I have gone through long stretches in my life where I quit this hobby cold turkey. Something keeps bringing me back.

I am still puzzled by what keeps the CTs going. Do they think that some game changing piece of evidence is going to suddenly appear that will confirm their long held positions? Do they think if they keep plugging away there is going to be an "AHA" moment when they finally put the pieces together? I freely admit to being a cynic but it seems to me if the CT folks haven't figured out the JFKA by now with what is already known, why would they expect they ever will?

I know it's like, still October 14, but, i'm gonna upload my collection of home movies of 11/22 here on the site. I need to gather xxxx to see if anything is missing or are there better sources.

I'm very new to collecting JFK stuff, lemme tell ya, i only have the MPI zapruder dvd and only that, i really wanted to buy more stuff, but my folks would wanna check what i'm buying, and if i'm buying on ebay or other american sites, it would be a bit annoying to ship to Brazil, not very ideal conditions to be researching the JFKA in, but i'll see what i can do.

At that time we were traveling very slowly, no more than 12 miles an hour. In accordance with my custom, I was very much concerned about our timing and at just about that point I looked at my watch and noted that it was almost exactly 12:30 p.m., Which was the time we were due at the Trade Mart. I commented to Ken O'Donnell that it was 12:30 and we would only be about five minutes late when we arrived at the Trade Mart. Shortly thereafter the first shot went off and it sounded to me as if it were a firecracker. I noticed then that the President moved quite far to his left after the shot from the extreme right hand side where he had been sitting. There was a second shot and Governor Connally disappeared from sight and then there was a third shot which took off the top of the President's head and had the sickening sound of a grapefruit splattering against the side of a wall. The total time between the first and third shots was about 5 or 6 seconds. My first impression was that the shots came from the right and overhead, but I also had a fleeting impression that the noise appeared to come from the front in the area of the triple overpass. This may have resulted from my feeling, when I looked forward toward the overpass, that we might have ridden into an ambush.

Never did touch the (Dis)education Forum but dang, it's gotten to that point? Guess that "forum" is rough.

After the passages of so much time, you have to wonder if there is anything left to be learned.  Maybe AI can be used on some of the films and photos to put it to rest one day, but I think we reached the point of diminishing returns on the evidence decades ago.  My conclusion from that evidence is that Oswald did it.  There is certainly no credible evidence of the involvement of anyone else.  No feasible narrative that explains away the evidence against Oswald or even a narrative that makes sense in which Oswald is not the assassin.  Does Cuba, Russia or the US government have anything from Oswald's trip to Mexico City that could shed further light on his motive?  A tape recording or transcript.  I doubt it but that is the last frontier unless AI can open new avenues.  When all is said and done, I'm 99.99 percent sure that Oswald was the assassin.  And 99.98 percent sure no one else was involved.
