1、November 22, 1963,JFK was in Dallas trying to get support for next years election. Dallas had an unfriendly reputation towards politicians.,Lee Harvey Oswald,Shown here in Oak Cliff, Texas. Tried to defect to the Soviet Union and Cuba.,School Book Depository,LHO got a job in this building. He would
2、eventually shoot JFK from the sixth floor.,6th floor,Sixth Floor of the School Book Depository,Snipers perch,This is Lee Harvey Oswalds view from the 6th floor of the School Book Depository,Zapruders film was the most famous evidence,He was filming from here.,3rd shot,1st shot,Sniper perch,This plaq
3、ue sits next to where he was fatally shot.,Kennedy was rushed to Parkland,Oswald fled the scene,He checked into his boarding house on 1026 Beckley. Officer J. Tippit stops on the street to talk to Oswald. Oswald shoots him 4 times to death,Lee Harvey Oswald walked 8 blocks to Texas Theatre on Jeffer
4、son Blvd.,Arrested,The Cops beat him up after Oswald resists arrest at the theatre.,LBJ was sworn in at Love Field,LHO was being escorted to another jail.,Oswald transferred to another jail.,Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner, shoots Oswald on live TV. LHO will never go on record why he did what he
5、 did. He is now dead.,LHO killed,“You killed the President, you rat!”,Case Closed?,Oswald fired 3 shots (missed the first one) The assassination was filmed (Zapruder) The government investigated the murder for years and concluded that Oswald acted alone. Virtually no witness at that time gave indica
6、tion that more than 3 shots were fired at Kennedy. However. . . .,80% of people today believe JFK was killed by someone else!,Composite Conspiracy Story,JFK was killed by a conspiracy of high government officials with LBJ working with the CIA, the mafia and anti-Castro Americans who all want revenge
7、 for Kennedys lack of support in the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. At the same time (in contradiction), Castro killed JFK with Russias help. Jack Ruby killed LHO so he wouldnt talk. Ruby died with a deep, dark secret!,Lets keep in mind,Many people thought Elvis was alive for decades after his
8、 death. Many people think Tupac Shakur is alive. Many people think that NASA never landed on the moon. Many think Bush let 9-11 happen on purpose.,To make matters worse. . .,Oliver Stone made a movie called JFK in 1992. The movie is full of errors, lies and bad science.,Stones JFK helped advance the
9、se falsehoods about the assassination:,Oswald could not have shot JFK from the sixth floor in less than 6 seconds. Kennedy was shot from the front by gunmen on the grassy knoll. Jack Ruby killed Oswald on orders from the mafia to keep Oswald quiet about everything.,Could Oswald have made those shots
10、?,Yes! Oswald was a sharpshooter trained by the US Marines. He scored a 212 out of 250 on a 200 yard shooting range. JFKs car was only 50 yards away from the snipers nest and moved 10mph,Jack Ruby,Conspiracists believe Jack Ruby was a mobster who killed Oswald to silence him. Ruby died in jail a cou
11、ple of years later, supposedly with some deep dark secret.,However. . .,Jack Ruby knew gangsters but was not one. (He knew lots of cops too!) He was a night club owner. Those that knew him said he couldnt keep a secret for 2 minutes!,Ruby,Rubys assassination was not planned. Ruby left his dog and hi
12、s girlfriend in the car when he left to shoot Oswald. No conspiracy here from Jack Ruby!,Was Kennedy shot from the front?,2nd assassin?,Zapruder,Back and to the left?,Many assume based on JFKs bodily motion and blood spray that he was shot from the front.,No witnesses reported gunshots that day!,2nd
13、 assassin?,Zapruder,wall,All witnesses that day described shots from where Oswald was,Witness described peoplebut no shots behind fence,Oswald,Picket fence,View from behind fence (x marks the spot),3rd shot,Picket fence shooter theory,There were plenty of witnesses in that area. None reported hearin
14、g shots. A few attention seekers claimed they did years later. The witness behind the fence died in a single car crash 2 years later, festering conspirators ideas. Many witnesses have been accused of being a part of the conspiracy, including Zapruder (born in Russia).,Autopsy,Kennedy was hit in the
15、back of the neck, not the front. He was hit in the back of the head, not the front. A shooter could not have hit JFK from the fence without hitting Jackie or her area.,Magic Bullet?,Oliver Stone argued that a single bullet could not have hit JFK and Governor Connally the way reported.,Magic Bullet?,
16、Using the bullet wounds, Stone used this diagram to convince people that one bullet could not hit JFK and the governor the way reported. Notice bothheads are level with each other.,JFK sat elevated above Connally,wrong,Single Bullet Theory,Once their seats are properly aligned, the single bullet the
17、ory appears to be valid!,Umbrella Man?,Some say there was a mysterious man fanning an umbrella right as Kennedy was shot. Oliver Stone said he was signaling to shoot JFK.,here,Umbrella Man,Not much mystery here. The man was questioned and identified. He was trying to heckle JFK with his umbrella in
18、a way that he himself did not quite understand. One guy told me he was a Soviet agent.,here,Badge Man?,Was there a mysterious man wearing a badge near the fence? Again, no shots were fired from this area. JFKs entry wounds were in the back of his neck and head.,Motives?,Everybody seemed to have a re
19、ason to kill JFK if one thinks about it hard enough.,Lyndon B. Johnson,Supposedly, JFK wanted to withdraw from Vietnam. LBJ had him killed so he could continue the war (supposedly).,LBJ,Kennedy gave no clear evidence of exiting Vietnam. LBJ showed no desire for escalating this “bitch of a war.” (LBJ
20、s words).,The Mob?,The mob supposedly wanted to murder Kennedy.,Sam Giancana connections,Supposedly upset about JFKs lack of support for killing Fidel Castro.,Mob continued,The mob was upset about Robert Kennedys pursuit of organized crime. RFK was the Attorney General (top cop),The mafia did not ki
21、ll JFK,The FBI had the Chicago mafias phone tapped and their offices tapped for years before 1963. No evidence was heard. The mafia had no real interest in JFK. Maybe his brother Robert, but not the President.,Did Mob control Oswald and Ruby?,Oswald was a lone actor, just as he acted alone in an att
22、empted murder of a General Walker. Ruby knew mobsters, but he was not trusted by them.,Did Castro Kill JFK?,Motive: The CIA tried several times to kill Fidel Castro. Operation Mongoose considered poisoned cigars, poisoned diving suits, mafia rub out.,Did Castro kill JFK?,Castro did not have the mean
23、s to do so. Castro wanted the US to leave Cuba alone. An assassination would have led to an invasion. (Castro said this.) Oswald was refused entry into Cuba.,Did the Russians kill JFK?,Motive: The USA was a serious rival in the Cold War. Killing JFK would provide instability in the military and gove
24、rnment.,Russians killed JFK?,Why would the Russians risk nuclear war? Having LBJ as President would not have benefitedthe Soviets.,Conclusion,People (including me) believe what they want to believe. Some want to believe JFK was not killed by some lone nut. Some enjoy being in the minority opinion.,Lets let celebrities die in peace!,
