Wow, so you wouldn't recommend a single pro-conspiracy book to a newcomer...

That's correct, I wouldn't.

But if I was being forced at gunpoint by a foaming-at-the-mouth conspiracy fantasist to recommend just one conspiracy-leaning JFKA book, it would be this one by Gus Russo:



But there are some big problems with that book too, which I talk about HERE.

...and you'd recommend the Warren Commission's report to a newcomer but not the House Select Committee on Assassinations report.

That's correct. And that's because the HSCA's Dictabelt-based conclusion that JFK "was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy" has since been completely discredited and disproven.

But the first five conclusions that we find on THIS PAGE of the HSCA's Final Report are things that should be read by everybody. (And those 5 findings have never been proven to be wrong.)

On a side note, did you not notice that the thread is about which six books you'd recommend to a newcomer, not which 10 books.

FYI, the 10 books that you list contradict each other on some key issues, such as the location of the rear head entry wound, the trajectory of the back-wound bullet, the location of the back wound, the position of JFK and Connally in the limo during the alleged hit of the single-bullet theory, and the 6.5 mm object on the autopsy skull x-rays.

But each of those books does something that no pro-conspiracy book has ever done --- i.e., follow the actual evidence in the case to where it all leads—a single gunman named Lee Harvey Oswald—without resorting to conjecture, speculation, guesswork, and unsupportable claims of fake evidence.

Andrew Mason: Thanks for your collegial inquiry.

I have looked at the Z-film a thousand times, and frame by frame.

I am a layman, though I am not sure there is such a thing as an "expert" at looking at blurry home movies and divining the moment of impact of a bullet on a body. Each to his own.

Another bit of Mrs. Connally's testimony, again indicating JBC was pushed forward at the moment he was struck from behind by a large slug, that tunneled along a rib, meeting resistance, and pushing his body forward.



As I see it, JBC lunge or is pushed forward ~Z-295.

The LNT-SBT theorizing evolved in response to President LBJ's diktat that LHO be found a LN with no leads to Havana or Moscow (no nuke war please), and the WC's subsequent necessity in making the evidence line up with that premise.

There were three loud shots heard deep inside the TSBD on 11.22, and that indicates there was in fact a TSBD6 sniper who fired three shots. Prime suspect is LHO.

The problem is the shot cadence---the shots that strike JBC and JFK are too close together to have been fired by a lone gunsel armed with a single-shot bolt action rifle. The "bang....bang-bang" cadence. Dallas Sheriff Seymour Weitzman described the last two shots as nearly "simultaneous." A man with much experience in firearms.

There is the possibility of simultaneous shots heard as one shot on 11.22, or of someone firing using a silencer.

Your idea of a life is haunting an internet forum with 6,099 posts like this, and you tell ME to get a life? Ho-kay ...

Imagine thinking that you are the most intelligent guy on the Internet while posting on a JFK assassination forum about ghosts, aliens, and "creepy" things to the tune of thousands of words.  Very humorous.  What are your less intellectual legal colleagues doing while you spend your time here on these topics?

Smartest guy in the room syndrome is a terrible thing to behold.  You post abnormally long rants for an Internet forum on topics like UFO abductions, ghosts etc.  If no one responds to these silly topics, you post insults.  If anyone responds, you post insults.  Bizarre.  You must be a real charmer around the old water cooler.   Posting lengthy diatribes about nonsensical topics doesn't make you a genius.  It makes you a lonely, pathetic dipshit.

Your anger issues are duly noted. Wow.

1. 584 words is a "book" in your world? Alas, I suspect it is.
2. "Ghosts" is in the title of the forum Duncan started. If it's a "silly topic," perhaps take that up with Duncan.
3. You responded with two dismissive posts, the substance of which was addressed in my first post - which you clearly didn't read.
4. Across the board, you appear to have the intellectual curiosity of a fence post. You know it all without really knowing anything.
