This is a continuation from Part VII. As is usual the split point is arbitrary and participants are free to quote from, and refer and respond to, posts in earlier threads in the series. Speaking of Oliver Stone, he appears to have gotten a second wind in regards to the JFK Case. In the...

This is a continuation from part VI. As is usual the split point is arbitrary and participants are free to refer to posts in the previous iterations of the thread. It also depends on what the meaning of 'should' is. In a legal sense, 'should' doesn't mean mandatory. It means 'optional but...

RFK Jr. is investigating his dad's murder, including meeting with Sirhan Sirhan, and he believes that RFK was killed by a second gunman. Others disagree...

I understand that Detective Mark Fuhrman from the OJ murder case wrote a book about JFK. Has anyone read it? Is it a conspiracy theory book?

With another anniversary of the JFK assassination approaching, allow me to remind everyone here about my 2013 article for Skeptic Magazine, "JFK Conspiracy Theories at 50: How the Skeptics Got it Wrong and Why It Matters" -- available online here...

The purpose of this thread is to discuss legitimate historical questions about JFK's assassination, by which I mean questions that pretty much everyone agrees have not been answered to a high degree of certainty. This is not a thread for rambling about conspiracy theories. This is not a...

Hi, all. My name is Dave Reitzes. I contributed the cover story, "JFK Conspiracy Theories at 50: How the Skeptics Got It Wrong and Why It Matters," to the latest issue of SKEPTIC Magazine. It's available at finer newsstands now, and you can also purchase the electronic version online at the...

We've beaten JFK's death to death in another recent thread here, but what about RFK? I don't want to suggest that Sirhan Sirhan was not involved or that the mafia pro-anti-Castro's used a hush-a-boom gun to pull it off, but in your view did the LAPD get it right? Did Sirhan really get close...

OK it's now fifty years, and two days, since UN Secretary General Dag Hjalmar Agne Carl Hammarskjold died in a plane crash while attempting to mediate the Congo war. There have always been speculations that he was assassinated' by the Russians (who held him responsible for the death of Patrice...

JFK Assassination A Homosexual Thrill Killing? :jaw-dropp "[Journalist James] Phelan had written a favorable article about Jim Garrison in the Saturday Evening Post, and thus Garrison was willing to give Phelan an "exclusive" story, outlining the DA's "findings" about the assassination...

What's the best website for debunking the JFK assassination conspiracy tales? I would like to recommend one, or several, to my (college) students. I already have John McAdams. thanks,

I'm studying to become an expert in the JFK Assassination. My friend is pro-conspiracy on this one. I asked him what his best evidence was and he said Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy by Jim Marrs is it. He's recommended that book to me and I intend to read it. Has anyone read...

http://www.youtube.com/user/WALRU11 Okay Walru11, you've got the floor for the kennedy assassination. And for the Moderators i request that this thread be moderated to avoid any problems.

So I watched a video on You Tube with Benazir Bhutto a month before she's assassinated and she says something quite peculiar. She says that Osama Bin Laden is dead and even names his killer. She says this to a very indifferent newscaster, who didn't see fit to ask her to to elaborate. You'd...

I recently came across the Christchurch City Library's website. Among their extensive collection of scanned material is the Christchurch Star's edition of 23 November 1963. A mixture of luck (due to the timing of the assasination) and hard work meant that the paper was one of the first to be...

I've spent the afternoon discussing the Kennedy assassination with some people who were rather under-educated about it, and falling for a number of red herrings. But a couple have asked a question I can't answer. Or at least, they're not satisfied with what answer I can give. Why didn't the...

This April marks both the 40th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King and the 10th anniversary of the death of Dr. King’s assassin James Earl Ray. CNN tonight had a two hour special tonight about James Earl Ray and the MLK assassination. The last half hour dealt with, and dismissed...

From the Guardian: I didn't find anything here about Pruszynski, but I've read about this someplace.

Here we go again. How long until someone spins this into a new CT? It seems some memorabilia was found in the Dallas County DA's office. There is a transcript from what appears to be a proposed movie script of a collusion between Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. clicky

Thread title says it all. Please enlighten us, RedIbis.

We have the opportunity, as a community of interested persons, to keep track of a Conspiracy Theory as it develops, and to possibly ferret out some themes and trends in this CT's unique developments. The recent assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan took less than two days to give birth...

Just saw a trailer for the PBS show "Oswald's Ghost" which is being aired in a few minutes. It was Dan Rather saying "Sometimes conspiracy theories turn out to be true." Not sure of the context and I hope this is a fair presentation not some CT BS.

Thread title says it all. I have to go in to work today but I'll check back on my breaks and at lunch to see how kageki's exposition is progressing. And everyone, let's please try to keep it civil.

More conspiracy stuff bouncing around. For $889, you too can have a leather-bound copy of the Warren Commission, one of 52 lettered editions, inside "a solid walnut, laser engraved, wooden box which also contains artifacts from the Oak Tree and White Picket Fence from the 'Grassy Knoll!'" Wow...

On this Thanksgiving day most of us in America are getting ready to sit down, stuff ourselves, watch football, visit with friends and relatives and be thankful for the freedoms we enjoy and the abundances we too often take for granted. On this day 44 years ago, however, one of the most traumatic...

I was reading something about the JFK CT and you know, I think I could make that shot 1 time in 1000 or so. Now, Oswald was likely a much, much better shot than I am - he had training. So maybe he was ten times better then I am, so one time in 100. What I'm saying is these people just don't...

Before I have to return Reclaiming History to the library, here is a condensed summary of Bugliosi's summary of evidence against Oswald. from pgs. 955-966 1-8: 'curtain rods', guns, and uncharacteristic behavior of Oswald: Instead of visiting his wife and kids on a Friday, as usual, O. went...

are there any threads debunking the JFK conspiracy? I am meeting a friend in Manhattan, on Sunday, who believes in the JFK conspiracy by the gov't. We are also going to talk 9/11. Anyone want to join me Sunday afternoon? Could really use Gravy if your around. I want to buy you a drink...

Inspired by the thread where Gravy was positively identified as the operative at the beginning of 9/11 Eyewitness and the thread about Killtown's latest photo analysis, when it came to me. I know who really assassinated JFK. Eager to confirm my findings, I did what any good conspiracy theorist...
