I have seen them. On the net. If anyone really wants to see the inside of Jack Kennedy's skull I can supply a URL. The photos were released a long time ago but the conspricy theorists are never bothered by facts.


Not to get in a huge Kennedy assassination debate, well maybe. I take it you believe the Warren report? Just one point I would like to discuss, the pristine bullet found conveniently on the stretcher next to the body. Wait, that is a lot like that terrorist passport that they found in the WTC rubble. They can't find the frigging black boxes from the planes, but they magically find the hi-jackers passport. If you buy that one, I've got a bridge for sale.

I don't know what the hell happened on 9/11, but I think we need to find out. I wouldn't want this to end up like the JFK files. How long are they locked up for, something like 70 years. They even extended the length of time a few years back. Why the secrecy?

Obviously you are one of those that are still listening to conspiracy fantasists instead for your alledged "facts". They aren't locked up. Haven't been for decades. 'Pristine' bullets are what happen when they don't hit bone however there actually was no pristine bullet in reality. There was no magic bullet either. There is no need for magic for a bullet to be deflected by flesh and bone especially a short bullet. HOWEVER for a bullet to Kennedy from the Grassy Knoll would definitly take magic. The bullet would have had to magicaly go through the front of the the limo's windshield. Plus of course the Zapruder film clearly shows Kennedy's brains being blown out forwards and to the side despite the false claims from the fantasists.

Now it is possible that Oswald had help. It is possible that he even had a backup. However ALL the evidence shows that he fired three and possibly four shots. He had plenty of time as Dr. Alvarez showed long ago.

Have some reality:

The Single bullet theory explained and the fanatasists counfounded

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/sbt.htm

The so called pristine bullet from the only angle the Fanstasists ever show



The alledgedly pristine bullet from a different angle than the Fantasists ever show.




Not exactly pristine is that?

Head wound. If you want to see it click on it. Some people aren't used to this stuff although this one is B&W and so close up its hard to associate it with a human being.

Bogus evidence used by Fansisists

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/bogus.htm


If there is information on the Kennedy assasination that site most likely has it. It is VERY extensive. When I ran accross that site about two years ago I was very surpised at just how much information that I had been told was unavailable was indeed available, much of it for decades.

Suspicious is reasonable. Thinking that a person must be daft to hold Oswald responsible is not. Take a look at the site Jimmy and you will find most if not all questions that you may have answered or at least addressed in reasonable manner.

I am reasonbly sure it was Lee Harvey Oswald that killed Kennedy. I am not sure he didn't have any help but he certainly didn't need any. That Kennedy had enemies is certain. That any of them had a thing to do with his death is speculative at best.

Sure would have been nice if in 1963 when I was watching the TV live Oswald had been able to continue on to where the Dallas police were taking him instead of being shot on national television. Its an interesting memory but I would have prefered a trial.

Just because there are a lot of crackpot theories and deliberate misinformation, doesn't mean that something doesn't reek, in the JFK assassination. The left lost all of its leaders, JFK, RFK, MLK, and some might even include Malcolm X, in the 60's to assassins' bullets. You may want to believe coincidence, but it looks kinda funny from where I stand.

I'm not going to pretend to be a Kennedy expert, but I will answer your photo.

As far your photo is concerned; what is that a picture of anyway? Is it the bottom of the bullet? That bullet in the above picture couldn't have possibly have struck bone and went through two bodies and possibly a car seat.

JFK - Assasinated by a US communist

RFK - Assasinated by an Arab

MLK - Assasinated by a Southern racist

I don't see much of a connection there. There were two attempts to kill President Ford and one on Reagan. Sheer luck they survived. No I don't think you have much showing some vast Right Wing Consipiracy to kill liberals. Especially since JFK wasn't a liberal and neither he nor his brother were members of some vague left.

Don't mix them up with Teddy.

The thing that reeks about JFK is that the assasin was murdered. Unless you are silly enough to believe an assasin when they claim to be innocent or a patsy. Sure would be nice to know why Ruby shot Oswald but he never said and he had plenty of time. I suspect even he didn't know. He had a very bad temper and had been hanging around the area for a while. He just may have worked himself into a rage. People do stupid things when they get angry enough.

People all over the country were in shock at the time. All you could see on TV was coverage of the assasination. Even the September 11 attack didn't completely take over TV all day for three days on every channel. Of course there were a lot less channels.

I think its the bottom of the bullet but if you look closely at the other photo you will see the bullet is mishaped there as well. Its wider than it should be in places. Tests have been made with the same kind of bullet and dummy bodies. Similar results for the bullet were found. See that link for the single bullet theory above. Thats where the photos came from.

Just thought of another item about the bullet. Its a jacketed bullet. Much of what you see in the bottom of the bullet is lead forced out of the bullet's base. The same effect was seen in the test bullet but more of the lead in the actual bullet was left in Connally body than in the dummy. You can see those on this page:

Again, the only human mindset beating "Will to Power" is "Fear". 9/11 is a really shabby, awful, transparent-as-glass conspiracy job, but the way some people here try to hide their own fear and cling to the phony stability in their lives, so afraid to be without their precious lies for a second that they instantly ridicule and expel those who would oppose the lies, even when it obviously leads to their own doom...

...it's more transparent than air


To futilely further my point, as well as provide cheap laughing stock, I post a compilation of some of the best, most convincing, most on-topic, most intelligent arguments used by the opposition to the original post:

The passengers on the airliners are now having their teeth examined by four foot tall gray creatures who weren't able to get it up for so long that they need our DNA to reproduce, but they can move through solid objects without being detectable. They did this, and secrectly snuck 120,000 lbs of av-gas into the two WTC buildings (those office workers never check what's in their desk drawers) so we could wipe out the financial center and many of the trading firms that big oil relies on, to have an excuse to invade one country who's government we didn't recognize, in order to put in a part of a pipeline that would pass through what, four or five countries, to take oil from a different country we weren't invading to a port facility in another country we weren't invading? And blowing up buildings in New York was supposed to help this process along how, exactly?

If equal standards of cynicism are applied, the conspiracy theories will be seen for what they are - nothing more than internally inconsistent fantasy.

Actually, the author makes a few good points in the beginning, with regards to the Bush administration and possible selfish reasons for an attack on Iraq, but unfortunately he mixes it up with bullshit conspiracy theories. I have no doubt whatsoever that Al-Qaeda is responsible for the WTC attacks, and while the american secret agencies may have been incompetent in preventing it, it's extremely unlikely that they are in some way themselves responsible for the attacks. For one, far too risky. Testing new weapons in the middle of the desert is one thing, blowing up thousands of your own citizens in the middle of NY is something completely different.

It appears that des-esseintes does not believe in the Giant Invisible Orbiting Aarvark. This is good. The Aardvark does not wish to be known to the infidel. This means the Giant Invisible Orbiting Aardvark's Orbiting Minds Control Lasers did their job extremely well on him. He now thinks that there are conspiracies where there are none and fails to see the real ones.

It is good to know that the Europeans still have not discovered the truth about their world. They still do not understand that the 220 Volt electricty is being used to burn out their minds. Nor have they ever notice that 50 cycle AC power is the exact frequency needed to haze over their eyes when the Secret Masters walk among them. They haven't even noticed that the flicker of their 25 frame per second televisions are causing them to become the hopeless minions of the true masters of the world, The Pentium Group.

He won't even believe what I am writing here for him to read on this forum that is the thin end of the wedge of America's Pentium Group. We of the Pentium Group thank the Marks for their efforts in this matter. The Giant Invisible Orbiting Aardvark will reward them both in this world and the next.

An excelent response. You may even be a member of the Pentium Group in disguise but it is much more likely that you are simply yet another of our unknowing minions that never knew about Tinfoil Hats or perhaps forgot to wear one as the Orbital Mind Control Laser passed overhead.

Oh and don't believe that silly movie They Live. Special Glasses will not expose the Secret Masters. Those silly aliens the glasses reveal are under OUR control.

Hey weird things happen in disasters.

Think about where the terrorist were and where the passport was found. The terrorists were in the front of the plane. Most of them anyway. Well one was flying the thing. If I remember right the passport was found outside the buildings. At least with one of the planes the nose came out the other side. The fuel was in the wings of course and that mostly stayed in the buildings so its possible that the cockpit wasn't burned and that some things that were within it came through the crash somewhat intact.

Now if the passport was found inside a building that is highly questionable since that is where things burned the most.

It's the first time I see a left-winged conspiration theory
Sadly, this ludicrous conspiration theory* darkens an otherwise pretty interesting article. I especially like it when it says : "Europeans don't disagree with us because they're pacifists. They disagree with us because we're WRONG". You probably know that NO IMORTANT COUNTRY, except the UK, supports the US assault on Iraq. Besides Europe, China and Russia have expressed their "doubts" about an attack, even if they tok part to war against terror.


*I'm not saying the US couldn't kill its own citizens for some goal. Any government could sacrifice some "pawns" for a greater goal, and America is no better than the others. But no country could reasonably do such a big and spectacular sacrifice for such a small advantage (taking control in the Muslim world)

Actually, I think it's the opposite effect going on around here. Some people just need to believe they know something the other people don't, so they latch into ridiculous conspiracy theories. After all, not only can they feel superior to the 'sheeple' who still cling to foolish notions such as presidential administrations not gambling literally everything to build... well... a pipeline, they might even get those 'sheeple' to believe that the conspiracy-monger knows something no-one else does, too.

Just try and get people to believe you. Who will listen besides Rowdy Roddy Piper and a few others? Did anyone listen to Charly Sheen or Kevin Powel? Of course, not they just made a movies about the events and paid off the people with lead parts thus turning reality into fiction. Hollywood has been controlled for a long time. Even before they installed rendering farms with a thousand Pentium processors so they could more easily edit out all the Secret Leaders that would occasionly show up on street scenes.

Moonbeam is presently Mayor of Oakland California. He used to be Governor but after eight years in office he tried going for the Presidency. For his failure he was punished. For surely being Mayor Moonbeam of Oakland is akin to Hell on Earth. Not to be confused with Hell in Norway.

All sorts of things "survive" relatively intact - an explosion isn't all fire, there are pockets and currents, etc. IIRC, there were a pair of hands bound together that were found, and in the PSA crash in San Diego in 1978 or thereabouts, three bodies were blown out of the plane and into some poor guy's car, intact enough that originally it was thought they weren't passengers, but casualties on the ground.

There are plenty of examples from "regular" crashes (which are still pretty spectacular impacts) of small objects and even whole suitcases or bodies getting ejected more or less intact.

A lot of small stuff on the leading part of the planes would just go flying as the plane shredded - ahead of the major explosion when the wing and centerline tanks go. Stuff at the rear of the plane would be moving into the explosion and unburned fuel, so anything surviving intact there would be much more suspicious.

Whether "true" or not, it certainly isn't impossible.

Yep, maybe we can convince Markos to begin selling Apolyton TinFoil Hats

Just try and get people to believe you. Who will listen besides Rowdy Roddy Piper and a few others? Did anyone listen to Charly Sheen or Kevin Powel? Of course, not they just made a movies about the events and paid off the people with lead parts thus turning reality into fiction. Hollywood has been controlled for a long time. Even before they installed rendering farms with a thousand Pentium processors so they could more easily edit out all the Secret Leaders that would occasionly show up on street scenes.


This is the big problem, of course. Iīve noticed a worringly low acceptance in the general populace for the truth. I think itīs time for The Great Communist Conspiracy to start a TinFoil Hat campaign.

Put an end to popups!

The Giant Invisible Orbiting Aardvark is not likely to be worried based on previous efforts to avoid its control. In the fifties lasers were not yet available for mind control so radio was beamed into people's heads. Sometimes this would be picked up audibly by fillings in people's teath so it was not ideal but that was all that the GIOA had to work with at the time. It must work through its human minions. Since aircraft were notorious for causing radio interference a simple idea for defense was tried by the few that feared the GIOA.

Fortunatly for the Pentium Group propeller beanies never caught on.

I remember reading about the discovery of those bound hands. God, that is just weird. Could they have belonged to someone aboard the airliners?

This passport was found the day after the attacks.

I don't think there was a conspiracy by the president or his administration to harm the US with these attacks. What I see is a great deal of opportunism by this administration to exploit these attacks to further their own ends, oil in central Asia, and to cover their own ends for their hubris which led to the atrocity. The president was briefed in August 2001 about a possible hijacking by Osama and company, but for whatever reason, he and his administration failed to act on the information.

This administration's callous exploitation of these atrocities is what I am upset about. Quite a few of the hijackers were Saudi Arabians, but we didn't bomb them. So I have to ask myself why we singled out Afghanistan? The answer that I come up with is always the same: oil.

That is a very odd answer considering that Al Queda was training people in Afganistan and finding santuary there. Your thinking is the same as many used in the Viet Nam War to denigrate the US's motives there. There is still no oil comeing from Viet Nam. Just some exploration of possible off shore fields, something that could not be done in a war zone.

I think no one is going to insure a pipeline through Afgansitan in the near future. The place has been a war zone for decades.
