ABC on JFK: Just (A)nother (B)ullshit (C)overup

[TruthIsAll]

Peter Jennings:

Did you sleep well after spewing all that garbage to young Americans who were not even alive in 1963? Feel good about brainwashing them with disinformation about the death of a great LIBERAL President who they may barely know of?

Well, we won't let you get away with it..

TIA

Spectacular Disinformation
by Jim Fetzer

ABC has announced a simulation of the death of President John F. Kennedy will be broadcast as part of a two-hour special on Thursday, 20 November 2003. The study supports the official Warren Commission conclusion that Lee Oswald acted alone. According to one release, Dale Myers, an award-winning animator, has spent the past decade creating a computer-generated reconstruction of the assassination based upon maps, blueprints, physical measurements, more than 500 photographs, the Zapruder film, and the official autopsy report.

The program will be narrated by Peter Jennings. "There has been so much innuendo and presumption in the conspiracy theories that, on this 40th anniversary of the President's murder, the subject cries out for review", said Jennings. According to the program's executive producer, Tom Yellin, "It leaves no room for doubt!" He calls the results of ABC's study "enormously powerful. It's irrefutable." Yellin's declarations, however, leave some room for doubt and raise the suspicion that this broadcast may actually be an exercise in disinformation on a spectacular scale.

Even in pure mathematics, proofs are only irrefutable relative to an assumed set of assumptions. That the interior angles of a triangle equal 180 degrees, for example, is true in plane geometry but not in spherical or in hyperbolic. That this program, which vindicates The Warren Report (1964), is not "irrefutable" is easy to demonstrate. There were at least two shots from the front-one of which hit Jack's neck, the other his right temple-and a shot from behind hit his back about 5 1/2 inches below the collar.

If there were shooters in front and the "magic bullet" theory--which assumes that the shot to the back hit at the base of the back of his neck--is false, The Warren Report is not only "refutable" but has actually been "refuted"! Even Gerald Ford admitted that he had had the description of the wound to the back changed to "the base of the back of the neck", which otherwise destroyed the "magic bullet" theory before it was launched.

1. Didn't watch it.

I was flipping thru the channels when that program was broadcast last Thurs. I chose not to watch. I figured it would be a bunch of lies - guess I was right. Glad I didn't waste my time.

5. Nice to see that you're so open minded

2. They would have caught a second shooter

Think about it. They caught Oswald. Guns make loud noises and there were plenty of witnesses around.

Show me a second shooter. The actual person.

6. show me Oswald

the actual person. You can't? why? cause he was killed. why was he killed if he was the only shooter? what reason would anybody have to kill him?

9. They didnt want to catch a second shooter. They wanted to nail Oswald.

He was the "patsy". Dont you get it. Oswald was groomed for this role by the CIA and was set up to take the fall whether he fired a shot or not.

3. it was silly

it looked like "Toy Story", it was totally unconvincing, but it was prevented as incontrovertible proof. I was laughing.

How many JFK threads are you going to start today? Do you think your nutty conspiracy theories will magically become reality if you post 500 threads a day or something? Let's try to keep the debate on one or two threads.

7. JSW..I will stop posting when you take the test...

Do these threads bother you? I love to see you naysaying Coincidence freaks from Denial squirm when you have to contend with the facts.

What's bugging you? The TRUTH? Why does it hurt so much?

[jsw_81]

8. No

I just don't think it's appropriate to create five or six pro-conspiracy threads per hour like some of you have been doing. But luckily for you I'm not a moderator. ;)

What hurts is seeing so many people (like you) who buy into ridiculous, unsubstantiated conspiracy garbage just because you *want* to believe so badly. I'm certain that your heart is in the right place and I know it's tough to admit that a 24 year-old nobody like Oswald could just buy a cheap rifle and kill a great man like President Kennedy, but there comes a point where you have to just put the 5,000+ conspiracy theories aside, review the evidence, and accept the fact that it all points to one man.

10. Duplicate (also violates GDF Rule#2)

I'm locking this thread. Interested DUers are welcome to continue discussing this in the referenced thread.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,

11. The nutcases

are those that believe it was Oswald. Kennedy could not have been struck from behind as the Warren Report contends. Or else his wife would not have been climbing onto the rear lid of the limo to retrieve a big piece of her husband's head, as the film clearly shows. I wish people would exercise plain common sense.
