What JFK Conspiracy Bashers Get Wrong

As the 44th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy approaches, you may get caught up in an eruption of the perennial and sometimes tedious conspiracy debate. You want to keep an open mind and make sure you don’t fall for any JFK assassination myths. You can, for example, say with confidence that a lot of the crazy JFK conspiracy scenarios have been debunked over the years. No, neither the KGB, the Masons, the Mossad, nor the Red Chinese were behind the gunfire that killed the liberal statesman. No, Abraham Zapruder’s famous home movie assassination was not secretly altered to hide evidence of a conspiracy. And, no, the legendary three tramps photographed that day did not whack Jack. They were just a trio of homeless guys in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But no sooner were these fables dispatched by scrupulous JFK researchers, than public discourse on the JFK story was engulfed by a new set of assertions imbued with an anti-conspiratorial animus that is also unhinged from the historical record. These too need the truth squad treatment.

Myth #1 JFK conspiratorial suspicions, like the idea of a gunshot from the so-called grassy knoll, were ginned up after the fact by demagogues like Oliver Stone.

In fact, a significant minority of eyewitnesses at the scene of the crime thought at least one of the gunshots that hit Kennedy came from the knoll, which was actually a grassy embankment bordering a parking lot overlooking the route of JFK’s motorcade through downtown Dallas. A survey of eyewitness statements, compiled by conspiracy skeptic John McAdams of Marquette University, found that 42 of 103 bystanders said that the gunfire came from the knoll or from two different directions. To be sure, a larger number said that shots came from a high window of the Texas School Book Depository. And yes, the parking lot on the knoll was searched within minutes and no gunman or ballistic debris was found. And, yes, ear witness testimony is notoriously unreliable.

The fact remains that more than 30 people in the vicinity of Kennedy’s limousine–including Dallas sheriff Bill Decker, Secret Service agent Roy Kellerman and a presidential aide David Powers–independently said that they thought a gunshot came from the knoll. Within a week of the crime, pollsters found 62 percent of respondents nationwide said they thought two or more people were responsible. In Dallas, the figure was 66 percent.

Myth #2: JFK conspiracy theories are mostly held by anti-American leftists and credulous liberals.

Try telling that to Bruce Willis. “They still haven’t caught the guy that killed [President] Kennedy,” the leading Republican in Hollywood told Vanity Fair last spring. Willis was merely voicing a view that has long circulated on the American right. In September 1964, Warren Commission member Senator Richard Russell, a paleoconservative from Georgia, rejected the so-called single bullet theory and attempted to put a dissent into the commission’s final report (only to be slapped down by liberal Chief Justice Earl Warren.) By the late 1960s, conservative figures ranging from former congresswoman Clare Booth Luce to columnist William F. Buckley to Nixon White House chief of staff H.R. Haldeman dissented publicly or privately from the Warren report. Mary Ferrell, one of the best-informed JFK researchers, was so adamantly opposed to legal abortion that she told friends that she never voted for a Democrat after 1980. Today, the best JFK assassination Web site, MaryFerrell.org, is named after her.

Myth #3: No reputable historian believes in a JFK conspiracy

Wrong. I know of four tenured academic historians who have written directly on the JFK assassination in the past five years. Three of them (Gerald McKnight of Hood College, David Wrone of the University of Wisconsin-Steven Points, Michael Kurtz of Southeast Louisiana University) came to conspiratorial conclusions, while one (Robert Dallek of UCLA) vouched for the lone gunman theory. A forthcoming book by Naval War College historian David Kaiser on Kennedy’s Cuba policy and the assassination, to be published by Harvard University Press next year, is likely to demolish this myth once and for all. (Full disclosure: Kaiser is a friend and the book will cite my JFK reporting.)

Myth #4: Serious people of power in Washington overwhelmingly believe there was no conspiracy.

Hardly. The slain president’s own brother Bobby Kennedy was, in the words of journalist David Talbot, “America’s first conspiracy theorist.” He and First Lady Jackie Kennedy quickly concluded that JFK was the victim of a major domestic plot. Lyndon Johnson suspected that the assassination resulted from the struggle for power in Cuba. Richard Nixon hounded the CIA for files on “the whole Bay of Pigs thing,” which his aides understood to mean Kennedy’s assassination. George H.W. Bush, upon becoming CIA director in 1976 immediately asked for the JFK assassination file, not exactly the action of someone who thought he knew the whole story. Bill Clinton and Al Gore both said publicly in 1992 that they believed there had been a conspiracy. (Once in office, Clinton recanted.) George W. Bush, to be sure, is a firm believer in the lone nut theory. But, when it comes to providing credible explanations of U.S. intelligence failures that culminated in national catastrophe, Bush’s track record is not reassuring.

Myth #5. Scientists unequivocally support the lone gunman theory.

The latest peer-reviewed articles indicate otherwise. One piece of scientific analysis, “bullet lead analysis,” that was long used to buttress the so-called “single bullet” theory has been decisively debunked, as a recent front page series in the Washington Post shows. A study of the JFK ballistics evidence, published in the Journal of Forensic Science in 2006, concluded that its findings “considerably weaken support for the single-bullet theory.” A pair of articles on the medical evidence, published in Neurosurgery in 2004, offered a split decision. One supported the official story; the other provided strong evidence based on sworn testimony from multiple eyewitnesses that the photographic record of JFK’s autopsy has been tampered with. The-called acoustic evidence a Dallas Police Department radio recording that some scientists say contains evidence of a shot from the grassy knoll has been called into question but not refuted by other scientists. The issue remains unresolved. My own review of the crime scene evidence, published this month on Playboy.com, concludes that the scientific case for Oswald’s sole guilt has been weakened in recent years.

Myth #6: There is nothing significant to be found in the new JFK files identified since Oliver Stone’s JFK

Depends on how closely you care to look. The long suppressed CIA records made public since the 1990s certainly do not confirm Stone’s depiction of the assassination as a virtual coup d’etat by the CIA and the Pentagon but they do raise new questions about the Dallas tragedy. They demonstrate that a handful of top CIA officials had much greater knowledge of Oswald’s travels and political activities in the weeks before Kennedy was killed than they ever let on. At least one of these operatives– an undercover officer named George Joannides–remained quiet about what he knew of Oswald’s Cuban contacts to perhaps a criminal extent.

As I reported in the Huffington Post, CIA attorneys appeared in federal court on last month seeking to block release of dozens of secret records on Joannides’s actions in 1963. At the time Joannides served in Miami as the chief of psychological warfare operations aimed at overthrowing Fidel Castro. The CIA argues that release of any portion of more than 30 documents about Joannides–some of them 45 years old– would harm U.S. national security and foreign policy in 2007. Don’t take my word that these records are significant. Just ask the CIA’s lawyers.

When you strip away all the tall tales of JFK’s assassination, the unsatisfying and infuriating truth is that we still don’t have the full story. And that’s no myth.

    President Kennedy was gunned down on the street in Dallas …Lyndon Baines Johnson, Kennedy’s successor another Texas man, was up to his ears in it… July 25 2001 Alex Jones spoke of terrorism, and warned that Osama Bin Laden might attack the WTC. …if he had said, …a suicide bomber might strike at some precise location, forty eight days prior to an actual event in Tel Aviv for instance …Would the Israeli public accept that it was a clever guess.

    I had stayed home that day from Jr. High school. A TV news report from Dallas told of the tragedy, and that one thing mentioned was a shot from the front that went into JFK’s neck. I still believe that is true.
    In the book “Best Evidence”, autopsy results back this up in Dallas, but not in Washington. Johnson took the body out of Dallas against the State’s
    jurisdiction.
    That was the only mention of the shot from the front the rest of the weekend long reporting session.

    I have not seen any linkage between Scott McLellan, whose allegations about the Bush-Cheney coverup of the Judith Miller leak seem to have at least some legs,and his father Oliver Barr McLellan who has conspicuously laid the JFK assassination at the feet of Lyndon Johnson. Prior to reading McClellan’s Blod, Money and Power, I had thought of Johnson as the most mendacious of Presidents simply because he pledged no wider war to gain election and then widened it with impunity and brought down much that was hopeful in the bargain. People have trashed Barr. McLellan’s book but I think it bears at least some ranking among the conspiracy theories, especially the allegation that Malcolm Wallace, a documented killer who was an associate of Johnson, was in the Book Depository at the same time as Oswald and was indeed associated with Oswald. This is backed up by fingerprint evidence. Naturally this evidence is disputed. However, I see a like-father, like-son linkage here that I have not seen picked up … yet.

    Of course the public part of this first huge experiment in mass trauma based mind control was integral to the story. Perhaps the questions ran how much “we the powers that be,” get away could with doing while the gist of things was to grieve and forget. Many people do not realize how well liked and even beloved was this young President. Hence there was and is a singular sense of grief for many people captivated in the myth and the reality, like none other. You would perhaps not grieve in the same way for another more typically brusque politician.

    I remember on that very day being particularly struck in a metaphysical sense, even blaming myself in High School for being angry at another pupil at the water fountain who “didn’t seem to care at all,” and being in some distant sense “at cause for what happened.” Such events happened to an entire nation, at least when we nominally had a nation that seemed to care, and that was filling with those who cared. It seems now that the mass media has so crippled itself from the mass lying about November 22, 1963.

    In an aftermath of sorts, being from what seemed to be an elite but far too independent set of near relatives, I was able to meet the surviving family, and take a boat ride with them for some 20 minutes. That was not planned, but it was a lesson for a time in the biographical advantage of the intense existence of public figures.

    It is with particular disgust that I see others in the political process having a very uncaring attitude towards people involved in it. This is the case for those involved in it that is actually operating from some level of conscience and literacy. But for the notion of an uncaring elite without conscience, it is those very people who gloated at our nation’s loss.

    I assure everyone all these people are real, with conscience or with diminished conscience that they are very much like anyone else save for a networked mind participating at a high level of power. I cannot explain to those who have not experienced power and its operations, and fame, and media attention what it is like other than that it exists and that if you operate in such a manner that you understand it more fully. It is very much in the use of the English or other languages, and it is a task of writing and speaking that has a very real effect.

    The best politicians do not carry “professional detachment,” too far.

    So many avenues to go down. 1. LBJ had to not run for a second term, so he would have no implication in the RFK hit. 2. How come Zapruder was allowed to walk away with his film, when others were confiscated by persons unknown? 3. I think he made the most money from the killing, as a non writer? 4. How did he get to stay in a point that was elevated with his back to the shooters, and still walk away with the film? 4. LBJ with his long hair said on TV that he thought JFK was killed by a conspiracy, days later he died. I am thinking he may have still been upset at having been told maybe to not run again in 68? here is a cool link of some voices of presidents from the past. http://www.biography.com/broad.....Presidents & Political Figures One has to wonder what it would have been like if there was personal computers, and You Tube back then if our whole history may have been changed for the better? Maybe the reason for DRM is not to protect copy rights, but to prevent us from having copies of history, through highly compressed files, and cheap mass storage?

    Well, conspiracy theories aside, obviously Kennedy was shot by a high power rifle. His head travels downwards almost into Jackies lap, but not at a angle steep enough to claim window shot in book repository or shallow enough to claim shooter behind grassy knoll fence.

    Next, if you watch the film as the motorcade rounds the corner, the motorcycle cop, on the left side of Kennedy’s car, looks up and too his right at a angle inbetween. He looks away from the road ahead, is not looking at Kennedy’s car and not at grassy knoll. Don’t need conspiracy theory to see that was a trigger sign, meaning a heads up sign to whoever was looking through the rifle scope. (I’ve been riding motorcycles for 35 years)

    Like many have said, this was professional hit team (not an individual) probably at many levels (not necessarily many shooters) and that is why 40 years later there is questions and concerns this was internal (internal meaning: like CIA, LBJ wanting power, not some ‘kid’ as he might have thought of it) not external (external meaning: KGB, Castro backed, etc…).

    We will probably never know if this was inside job, like many believe 9/11 was. Who doesn’t understand why the names of hijackers where known so quickly? Again, we will never know or may never learn of why, only that 9/11 removed many of our individual freedoms and now everyone is a suspect. Just go back in history to the Boston Tea Party; does anyone wonder why Benjamin Franklin was grilled by the Barristers (lawyers) in England? To breed conspiracy puesdo-facts to drown out the reality. Big governments have always done this and the founding fathers of this country knew that.

    Anyone who fires a rifle or pistol,and is considered an “expert in this field” must fire that weapon on a continuous basis using more than a few rounds.Even if the weapon has a scope the shooter must be extremely familiarized with the rifle to make repeated head shots like oswald was supposed to have made.I was a u.s. marine and i was an armorer who served 21 months in vietnam.weapons and shooting are my expertise…even if oswald, a u.s. marine expert when he was in the corps, would never be able to make those shots unless he fired the carcano on a regular basis.Remember,he had been out of the marines for several years before that incident.If he was such a good shot,some people must have seen or heard him shooting,somewhere.The man was a patsy and a nut,but he didn’t live in a vacuum

    You want to know the whole truth about the assassination of J.F.K.?Here it is.The hitman was not Harvey Lee Oswald.He did have a part in it though but he never fired a shot at Kennedy. The president was shot by a man who was a so called “well known man in Dallas”.His name is Jack Ruby.Jack Ruby had three teams set up that day around 12:oo noon.One in the book depository building, one on the crimal justice building and one behind the picked fence on the grassy knoll. His team was made up of cubans,one CIA agent and some of his own hitmen. Oswald was threatened by Ruby and was told to give Ruby’s team access to the depository on that day. Oswald was then set up but did not know that he was being set up. Oswald was Ruby’s fallback man. The teams told Oswald to supply them with his vintage WWII German Mauser.Oswald did not know he was gonna get pinned so he did.At 12:15 all the teams were in place and as the presidents limousine pulled on to Elm st. and all the teams took aim and waited.The team in the depository took first shot hitting Kennedy in the neck, the team behing the fence took the second shot hitting Kennedy in the head and continued to fire shots,the team in the criminal justice building took the third shot hitting Kennedy in the back.
    Thats what really happened and if you dont believe it check out in the book BETRAYAL by Robbert D. Marrow who was a formal CIA agent involved with the whole Kennedy shit. Email me at gdoglovesbelties@hotmail.com.

    For the lone nut theorists out there, truth is in the eye of the beholder, and many would say that your eyes are in horrible condition.

    To say that there is “no evidence of a conspiracy” is to either be a liar or to be someone who has never researched the case.

    The gaping exit wound in the BACK of kennedy’s head is proof of conspiracy.

    The small entrance wound in his throat is proof of a conspiracy.

    The acoustic wave pattern tests conducted in 1979 and 2001 which show that a gunman was on the grassy knoll is proof of a conspiracy.

    That Lee Oswald was on the 2nd floor of the depository while two men were on the 6th, one with a rifle, is proof of a conspiracy.

    That Kennedy’s own Doctor, Admiral Burkley said that “There was more than one gunman” is proof of conspiracy.

    That shots were heard coming from the knoll, smoke was smelled on the grassy knoll and that Kennedy fell opposite to the knoll upon being hit with the fatal shot is evidence of a conspiracy.

    At the autopsy, it was determined that the bullet that hit Kennedy in the back penetrated to only a finger length’s depth, and thus NEVER EXITED, due to there being no lanes for an outlet of the wound, thus no magic bullet.

    All of the Warren Commission’s test bullets were clearly damaged, unlike the magic bullet. This is proof of a conspiracy, because without a magic bullet hitting both men and remaining in, essentially, pristine condition, you do not have a lone gunman.

    That none of the expert marksman could duplicate Oswald’s supposed shooting performance is proof of a conspiracy.
    You dont pick up a rifle and shoot with near perfet accuracy, unless you practice regularly. There is no evidence of Oswald practicing with the rifle that would enable him to even have a shot (no pun intended) of being able to pull of a shooting feat the likes of which was contributed to him.
    Truth is, Oswald was a poor marksman….just passing the test (when he DID have practice).
    Saying that Oswald is a good gunman when he barely passed the test, is like saying that I am a rocket scientist because i got a C- on my math test.

    Marine intelligence, Naval intelligence and Bobby Kennedy all conducted private investigations into the murder and all concluded that Oswald was not capable. How’s that for evidence?

    Fact: ALL 7 WC test subjects who fired the rifle had nitrate deposits on their cheeks, thus proving that the rifle indeed leaves nitrate deposits when anyone fires it.

    Fact: Lee Oswald DID NOT HAVE ANY nitrate deposits on his cheek, thus proving that he didnt fire the rifle.

    Fact: The lead autopsy surgeon burned the first two drafts of the autopsy report in his fireplace. If you think that is was due to an innocent reason (he said he did so because it had Kennedy’s blood on it, yet the one that did not have the blood on it was also burned), you probably believe that Trolls live under your carpet.

    Some of the first reports out of Texas said that the shots came from a “grassy hill”.

    Over 90% of those in Dealey Plaza ran towards the area of the picket fence on the knoll after the shots were fired. (They must have been chasing the trolls that live under your carpet).

    The Oswald rifle has a misalinged scope, which could only be fixed with professional help. Not only do you nutty lone gunman theorists believe that this crappy gunman did what the best gunmen in the world couldnt do, but you also believe that he did so with a rifle that didnt fire straight.
    Then again, you believe in magic bullets, so I guess i shouldnt be surprised.

    Bobby Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, J Edgar Hoover, all believed that there was a conspiracy.

    The magic bullet theory wasnt even proposed until eyewitness James Tague came forward with his proof of a missed shot. Before Tague came forward, even the WC didnt believe that one bullet hit both Kennedy and Connally.

    Two months before the assassination, Oswald was being linked to the assassination (Research “The Odio Incident”. Pretty amazing for a lone gunman to be framed 8 weeks before a murder that nobody but he supposedly knew would occur.
    Then again some people believe that he can shoot kennedy from the 6th floor while eating lunch on the 2nd.

    Tippett (Tippit?) murder weapon: An automatic
    Oswald’s gun: six shot revolver
    Need I say more?

    12:25 CST 11/22/1963: Oswald seen eating lunch on second floor.
    12:25 CST 11/22/1963: Two men, one with a rifle, seen on the 6th floor of the book depository.
    Either way, it proves conspiracy.

    Autopsy Photos: Kennedy’s right eye/face area unharmed.
    Autopsy X Rays: Kennedy’s right eye/face area blown away.

    Kennedy autopsy photos: show the opposite of what every person described.
    Photos show neat occipital area, while every witness says there was a large hole there.

    The lone nut must have forged the photographs.

    Sarcasm……

    I can go on, but lone nut theorists only care about calling open minded people names,so I wont waste my time.

    There was a conspiracy to kill kennedy. The name calling, ignorance and arrogance of lone nut theorists notwithstanding.

    I just finished reading “Powers Behind JFK Assassination.” Of all the books I’ve read over the years, only Powers Behind JFK Assassination clearly explains what really happened and exposes those behind JFK’s Assassination.

    I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to know the truth of what really happened that day and how those responsible took America in a new directions, that is, a new world order of globalism, free trade and deregulation of big business as it was in the 1920s which led the country into the Great Depression.

    Over two centuries of United States banking systems explains how those owning the “privately owned” Central Banks or Federal Reserve, controled the country’s economey by controling U.S. Currency & Credit…and when President Kennedy attemped to end their ruthless reign and ownership of the Federal Reserve, they had Kennedy killed.

    SHOCKING is how part owners of the Federal Reserve David Rockefeller, Prescott Bush and then CIA agent George Bush, with X-CIA Agent Allan Dulles were those behind the Assassination of JFK.

  20. phil on June 9th, 2009

    I am certainly no expert on this subject but i have been researching the data provided by experts for the past month and there is much more evidence towards a conspiracy than towards the lone gunman theory. The scientific evidence shows that the magic bullet theory is very improbable and i have seen documents that show there was evidence beforehand that people knew of an assasination. Also the most basic fact I’ve seen that points to conspiracy is that Jack Ruby killed Oswald because it seems very odd that a prisoner of such importance, the man who killed the president, was able to be killed by an ordinary person like Ruby. It seems the security must have been let down in order for Ruby to have this opportunity and succeed.

    Conspiracy buffs are much like a dog chasing it’s tail i.e going round and round in circle’s. You are all wasting your valuable time chasing shadows, every new lead that you guys come up with leads to a dead end.

    If there ever was a cover up with so many people involved, someone somewhere would have talked either on their deathbed or leaked eveidence to the authorities of today leading to a trial with new factual evidence and convictions of others involved if their still alive.

    The fact this hasn’t happened means there never was a conspiracy and the right guy was detained by the Dallas Police Dept and questioned, yes we are talking about Lee Harvey Oswald, guilty as charged.

  23. tom hartman on November 22nd, 2009

    They also forget that a month before Oswald had tried to assassinate General Walker with the same gun, and was proven without a doubt to have killed Tippet. He said he was carrying “curtain rods” to work in the paper bag that morning (they never found any…hmmm). He was arrested with false Id on him, the same ID used to order the gun, which the bullets in the limo were definitely traced to, from the gun found on the 6th floor. The most recent scientific reconstructions using computers of the assassination have the shot to JFK’s head on a precise trajectory to the 6th floor window. There is no evidence of a shot from anywhere else. None. Zippo. You are dreaming.

    And to the guy who was smart enough to notice the cop in the Zapruder film looking back and UP to the book depository, newsflash….he and the kids who stopped running and looked up, were reacting to the shot, not signaling some sharpshooter team hired by Oliver Stone. Get a grip…every dog has it’s day, and that day was LH Oswald’s.
