step by step
this is one of the best docamentarys of the jfk murder and it go threw the
the conspiracys theories and debunks them in away that only a idiot can believe in them

Are you kidding me?
This documentary goes to great lengths to describe Oswald as someone who craved attention. It alludes to a desolate, nobody starving for attention. Yet not once did Oswald, who allegedly aspired to be famous, admit to anything. According to the documentary, Oswald attempted to kill General Walker but failed. He planned to hijack a plane, but his wife convinced him that it was impossible. HOWEVER...... he was able to assassinate the country's most popular president?! Hogwash! And what about that horrifying headshot? As a former military cop myself, I assert that the presidents body movement is completely inconsistent with a shot from the rear. Period. And who were some of the members of the Warren Commission? Allen W. Dulles, the FORMER director of the Central Intelligence Agency and Richard B. Russell, both of whom were previously fired by JFK. And what about the Central Intelligence Agency, Cuba and David Morales or a host of other shady characters. The media is an institution in itself and has a sort of symbiotic role in protecting it's parent institution, the United States Government. Conspiracy theories aside, do your own research folks!

Lee Oswald was GUILTY !!!
I used to consider the possibility of a conspiracy behind the JFK assassination and started researching years ago to find indications that would support it.

All I found were wild theories and dead ends.
As a matter of fact, everything I discovered pointed me in the opposite direction.

When there's so much factual evidence against one person it's very hard to believe that ALL of it could be fabricated.

It surprises me that many people I talk to never heard of Major Walker.
They don't even know that Oswald attempted to assassinate Major Walker at his home prior to killing Kennedy.

On the day he attempted to kill Walker Oswald left his wedding ring, cash and a detailed letter to his wife on how she could get by without him if he should be caught, he even told her that he took a shot at Walker and was upset to read in the paper the next day that he had missed. The bullet retrieved from Walker's window pane matched Oswald's rifle that he used to kill Kennedy...isn't that enough proof in itself ?

Some conspiracy theorists don't even know who officer J.D. Tippit was, that Oswald shot him in front of witnesses and that the bullets retrieved matched Oswald's revolver, (the same revolver he pulled in the movie theater when the police cornered him).

As far as the shot coming from the grassy knoll...
OH PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK !!!
Doesn't anyone realize how tough a shot that is to pull off?
You've got a moving target traveling from left to right and you'd have to aim in front of Kennedy so the bullet would be there at just the right time. The odds are very much against it.

If there was a conspiracy to set up Oswald using more than one shooter then the instant another shooter pulls the trigger he's introducing another type of bullet into the crime scene...if the police found more than one type of bullet that would CERTAINLY prove a conspiracy wouldn't it?

Why would someone plant a supposed "pristine bullet" on a hospital stretcher?
Wouldn't that make people think conspiracy ???
Wouldn't it make more sense to put a mangled bullet on the stretcher to make it appear that it was involved ?
On second thought, what sense does it make to put a bullet there at all?
What would it prove or disprove?
Would the conspirators take the chance of someone seeing him plant a bullet?...
that would prove a conspiracy.
The idea of a planted bullet is idiotic.

Conspiracy theorists who say that the head shot came from the grassy knoll because Kennedy's head moved back and to the left should study the Zapruder film more closely. If you pause your VHS or DVD player at frame 312 of the Zapruder film and move one frame at-a-time you will CLEARLY see Kennedy's head move FORWARD slightly at the time of impact.
Since frame 313 shows Kennedy's head opened up it also indicates that the bullet has ALREADY LEFT and is long gone by the time his head even starts to move backwards.

And if anyone out there knows ANYTHING about ballistics they'd know that a bullet makes a small hole upon entry and a much larger hole upon exit.
Let's examine this...small hole in the back of head and a large hole in the right parietal part of head. It really doesn't take a lot to figure this one out does it?

I guess many people believe that Oswald was innocent simply because he said he didn't do it. Well the jails are full of people who say they're innocent too.

Anyone who wants to comment on the Kennedy assassination really owes it to him / herself and everyone else to investigate and gather as many facts as possible in order to make a fair judgement... a little common sense wouldn't hurt either.

Outstanding documentary by Peter Jennings
Peter Jennings and company did a masterful job in this documentary. The best part is when they use computer animation by the guy who's been studying the JFK assassination for over twenty years. They do fatal damage to the idea of the "magic bullet". Governor Connelly wasn't sitting directly in front of JFK; his seat was set six inches to the left of Kennedy's. Also, Connelly's seat was three inches lower than Kennedy's. At the moment the shot went through Kennedy and Connelly, the Governor was turned to his right. The bullet would have no problem going straight through the president and the governor.

Also, an elderly doctor demonstrates that three shots from a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle can be fired in eight seconds (or less).

Lee Harvey Oswald's brother is interviewed, and he states that he thinks his brother did it.

There are many different pieces of evidence that prove fatal to the idea of a conspiracy. But it's like one of the people in the documentary said; some people want to believe in a conspiracy. They don't want to believe that a little bitty nobody like Oswald could have pulled off one of the biggest crimes of the century.

Five stars out of five. Outstanding. This is the documentary that Oliver Stone doesn't want people to watch.

Should be titled Beyond Belief
Give me an ever-lovin' break.

No one in America has been or remains more eager to "prove" the poorly conducted prosecutor's brief that is The Warren Report than the American News Media. Why? It could be they were bought off, rather implausible but they are beholden to the government for their licenses. It could be they are embarrassed to retract their unwarranted approval of the report when it first arrived, it could be they embarrassed to retract the plethora of inaccurate and dishonest reporting they have provided the American people over the past 45 years on this subject. Embarrassment at one's own foibles has made people do stupider things than that. That's anybody's guess, but clearly the idea that the news media might have a vested interest in "proving" the Warren Report was right after all is not too difficult to imagine. If someday someone finally unearths an undeniable smoking gun, think of the egg that will be on their faces. Of course they want you to believe they can prove it after all. They can't or they surely wouldn't have waited 40 years to do so.

To take the JFK murder "beyond conspiracy", one has to solve the crime, doesn't one? And that is inarguably not accomplished in this program, only one of several pro-Warren Report "documentaries" that miraculously appeared on the scene at the 40th anniversary of the assassination. Putting people in a computer simulated mock up and moving them about fractions of inches proves very little. It might prove that it is theoretically possible for a bullet to have passed through both Kennedy and Connally, no one ever said it wasn't possible, nor would the bullet have had to come from the Book Depository in particular to have done so. It does not explain how a bullet alleged to have done so and caused seven injuries in two men emerges in pristine condition, free of blood or tissue, or even a dent, on a stretcher at Parkland Hospital that was used by neither man, nor does it explain how they are obviously struck by different bullets according to the Zapruder film, the testimony of both Governor and Mrs. Connally, and the majority of the witnesses who testified regarding this impact. Ask yourself why.

All of the character assassination that can be dredged up in the entire world about Lee Harvey Oswald will not change the fact that not one single person saw, or claims to have seen, Mr. Oswald in that window pulling off a feat of marksmanship that could not be duplicated by the world's greatest sharpshooters with that piece of crap rifle. Ask yourself why.

And neither Peter Jennings nor the entire staff of ABC News combined can explain how the alleged crazed act of a lone nut in any way jeopardizes national security in such a manner as to cause the records and evidence in the case to be sealed from the public for 75 years. Even in the 21st century, years after the enactment of the Freedom of Information Act and the Assassination Records Review Board, literally hundreds of thousands of documents (perhaps most notably Oswald's IRS records) remain hidden from the public. Some have been demanded released in a court of law, YOUR courts of law, people, only to have the agencies responsible for these documents then claim they must have been "accidentally" destroyed. Ask yourself why.

This "documentary" will be of great entertainment, and comfort and solace to those who, for their own personal reasons, cannot violate the official party line. To those who truly wish to approach the assassination with an open mind, whether they are inclined to believe it was Oswald or someone else but want to know more, hard proof or even generally accepted facts are few and far between in this piece. It does not prove what it sets out to prove, it does not carry us "beyond conspiracy", indeed it only serves to create an even more uncomfortable and paranoid environment of study than already existed (if that's possible).

At my place of business, the morning after this "show" aired, I overheard two customers saying "Did you see on the news last night about Kennedy? They proved it was Oswald!" Clearly these people had not attended law school and did not understand the concept of "proof" as is generally acceptable usage in the English language, but their response...well that, my friend, is precisely why they made this program.
