JFK Assassination Forum

     "Prominent"? Here we go again with the verbiage interpretation stuff. The electorate showed they have No Use for this tired tactic in 2024. Like I said, "Same Old, Same Old".   

I'm on the Left. Mostly consume "Liberal media". I haven't heard or seen anyone claim the 2024 election was "rigged".

That's why I asked you to share some examples.

So, I was right -- the poor guy got to see the clip only one time.

No wonder he made so many mistakes -- like saying in so many words, "JBC was clearly shot when he was turned around, reaching towards the President."

At least his syntax, grammar and vocabulary were pretty good.

. . . . . . . . .

Here's his 5:21-long version:

We have just returned from seeing a complete motion picture of the moments immediately preceding, and the moments of, President Kennedy's assassination. The motion picture shows the limousine, carrying in the front seat two Secret Service men, in the middle or jump-seat, Governor and Mrs. John Connally of Texas, and in the rear seat President and Mrs. Kennedy, a single Secret Service man standing on the back bumper. The top of the black Lincoln convertible down. The car made a turn, a left turn, off of Houston Street onto Elm Street on the fringe of Dallas's downtown area, that turn made directly below the 6th floor window from which the assassin's bullets came. After the left turn was completed, the automobile, with only one car in front of it -- a Secret Service car immediately in front -- the President's car proceeded about 35 yards from the base of the building in which the assassin was. President Kennedy and Governor Connally were seated on the same side of the open car, the side facing the building; Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Connally on the side opposite the assassin. President Kennedy is clearly shown to put his right hand up to the side of his face, as if to either brush back his hair or perhaps rub his eyebrow. Mrs. Kennedy at that instant is looking away, that is not looking at the president. At almost that instant, when the President has his hand up to the side of his face, he lurches forward -- something in this manner.  The first shot had hit him. Mrs. Kennedy appeared not to notice. Governor Connally, in the seat right in front of the President -- and by the way, the Governor had his suit coat open –- his suit was not buttoned -- perhaps either heard the shot or somehow he knew that something was wrong because the picture shows just after that first shot hit the President, the Governor turned in something this manner with his right arm outstretched back towards the President as if to say “what's wrong” or “what happened,” or to say something, and exposed the entire white front shirt of the Governor to the full view of the assassin’s window, and as the Governor was in this position and President Kennedy, behind him, was slumped slightly over, a shot clearly hit the front of Governor Connally and the Governor fell back, over towards his wife. Mrs. Connally immediately put herself over her husband in a protective position, and as she did so, in the back seat this time with Mrs. Kennedy's eyes apparently [unintelligible], the second shot -- the third shot in all -- the second shot hit the President's head. His head went forward in a violent motion, pushing it down like this. Mrs. Kennedy was on her feet immediately. The President fell over in this direction. It appeared that his head probably brushed or hit against Mrs. Kennedy's legs. The First Lady almost immediately tried to crawl on, and did crawl onto, the trunk of the car, face-down, her whole body almost was on that trunk in something (sic) that all fours position. She appeared to desperately be trying to get the attention of the Secret Service man on the back bumper, or perhaps she was stretching out toward him to grab him, try to get him in, or perhaps even to get herself out of the car. The car was moving all the time; the car never stopped. The Secret Service man on the back bumper leaned way over and put his hands on Mrs. Kennedy's shoulders. She appeared to be in some danger of falling or rolling off that trunk lid. He pushed her into the back seat of the car. In the front seat a Secret Service man with a phone in his hand. The car speeded it up and sped away. It never stopped; it never paused. That's what the film of the assassination showed. The film was taken by an amateur photographer who had placed himself in an advantageous position. Eight-millimeter color film. This is Dan Rather in Dallas.

   BUMP regarding possible Rather repeated Z Film viewing.

Are you saying you believe that Castro and/or Cuban intelligence played a role in the JFK assassination?

I don't know if Policarpo Lopez was involved, but if Castro and/or Cuban intelligence encouraged Oswald to kill JFK, would that constitute their "being involved in the JFK assassination"?

The problem with the conspiracy view of the JFK assassination, and the reason that many academics and journalists reject it, is that a large number of conspiracy theorists are radical leftists who push a wild JFK murder plot and who also embrace a number of nutty, fringe conspiracy theories, such as the 9/11 Truther nonsense, the claim that the Moon landings were faked, and the claim that Princess Diana and John Lennon were assassinated by "the Secret Team," i.e., the CIA and/or the military-intelligence-industrial complex.

Given the fact that a former sharpshooting Marine and self-described Marxist by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK by firing three shots at him over 10.2 seconds in the echo chamber known as Dealey Plaza, how is your "sane" murder plot different from the Leftists' "wild" murder plots?

  Say what? The Dem's are now claiming that the 2024 POTUS Election was rigged.

Examples?


I'm not at all arguing that Democrats don't engage in conspiracy theories. I believe "Russiagate" counts as a conspiracy theory that many Democrats subscribe to.


But I haven't heard any prominent Democrats claim that the 2024 election was "rigged".
