For years, Americans have viewed President John F. Kennedy's assassination through conspiracy-colored glasses. Writers, filmmakers and Web-site authors have blamed his death on a sinister network of shady operators: Cuba's Castro, the Mafia, the CIA -- even Lyndon Johnson. But two experts say new research shows Kennedy was killed by two bullets fired by a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. Relying on chemical, ballistic and statistical analyses, they say their work dispels more than 100 conspiracy theories tied to Kennedy's death. "It's preposterous on the face of it to believe that a mousy little guy with a $12.95 rifle could bring down the leader of the free world," said Kenneth A. Rahn, a retired University of Rhode Island atmospheric chemist. "Yet, that's exactly what Lee Harvey Oswald did 41 years ago." Rahn, who lives in Narragansett, R.I., and ballistics expert Larry M. Sturdivan, who lives in Santa Fe, N.M., published their findings in two articles in last month's Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry. Kennedy, 46, was fatally shot on Nov. 22, 1963, as he rode in a motorcade through Dallas. A year after his death, the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald was the sole assassin. Conspiracy theorists, however, continue to advance alternative plots involving other shooters and planted evidence.

Gallup polls show that roughly three out of four Americans believe the conspiracy theorists. According to Rahn and Sturdivan, the FBI used old chemical technology to analyze five bullet fragments recovered after the shooting. Later, they placed the fragments in a nuclear reactor to analyze their chemical properties. "But the FBI was new to this technique. At the end of the day, they didn't know what to make of it," so J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI's director, "kept it a secret," Rahn says.

I'm not into conspiracy theories per se (Illuminatti, 9-11 was known about before hand by Bush, NWO) but this is one that I DO happen to believe in. I just can't see how Oswald acting alone could've done it.......

That's good to hear

There is much too much that points elsewhere to trust Warren Commission report nope sorry Oswald was NOT the killer and did NOT act alone! I havent seen proof of anything less

Research the UM threads & though we cant identify the 2nd (at least) gunman yet, we HAVE exposed a cover up concerning the autopsy. Everybody for years has believed that JFK was shot in neck BUT my assertation that JFK was shot thru body a second before the fatal shot has been proven quite irrefutably since release of photos of the shirt JFK wore that fateful day !!! it doesnt take anymore than a careful viewing of the Zapruder tape to easily see 1.) A second before headshot JFK reaches right hand to left lower chest, upturning palm of hand as if expecting to see blood (an instinctive reaction) this was most likely (& after viewing photo of shirt) in fact definitely caused by high powered weapon hitting JFK in the back & exiting thru lower left chest. No rocket science technology required there !!!! but WHY autopsy & Warren commission ignore that is CONSPIRACY. 2.) Fatal head shot COULD NOT have come from Oswalds position & do what is clearly visible on Zapruder tape ... being ---> (Excuse graphical description) Hitting what appears to be dumdum or explosive tip bullet that RIPS frontal part of Cranium BACK !!! not forward (as could be expected if the shot came from behind SHOULD have caused any fragmentation of skull to go FORWARDS) then when the actual brain matter comes loose it is clearly seen rolling BACK over the head area NOT forwards !!! 3.) When Jackie Kennedy tries to retrieve brain & skull fragments she climbs over back of limousine where the fragments sprayed & could NOT possibly have gone from a shot from behind the limousine.
To me I DO believe Oswald could have fired the shot that hit JFK in the back BUT could NOT possibly have achieved the fatal shot from his location.
IF anyone MISSED the photo proving the SHOT IN THE BACK I got a copy & will gladly post it here !!!!

Try this link from another thread posted by Blazer2004...

The experts (conspiring) can 'debunk' until the cows come home...It's not going to convince those who believe there was a conspiracy.

Edit; removed redundant quote.

You are correct vims, there WAS a conspiracy in this situation........

and again

Art...Is this a veiled admission that you do not believe there is a 911 conspiracy after all?

Did you go to the link...or have you another possibility regarding JFK ?

Okay,I'm making a HUGE step here,,,,,
America can live long and be happy.......
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Anyone seen that new game - JFK reloaded.

It's a computer version of the JFK assassination and you are oswald. The demo is crap. You need the buy the full version to start some mayhem. And if you shoot JFK in EXACTLY the same spot as Oswald you win $100,000!!!!!


JFK reloaded

Thanks for the link Dowdy ... $100,000 though Sheesh !!! to be able to replicate the real fatal shot from Oswalds position you should win a coupla billion LMAO

You have to get as close to proving the lone gunman theory...IE...making all 3 shots.


Yah i dont think Oswald was the one who killed him...mainly cause of these 5 words..

Back..and to the left

Also the zepruter film has been tampered and edited so much that it's not at all like the one originally shown. Anyone have that picture of the Italian hit-man wearing the cop outfit? He's seen at the moment he shoots, you can tell the muzzle flash, colorized ofcourse as the photo was in black and white.

The original Zapruder movie is shown on "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" 3 part doco ... The picture you refer to known as the Barbara Mormon Photo reveals the image of "Badgeman" this pic shows the REAL assassin & his name was Sartiz he was from Marseilles, Spain. He was a rather well known hitman whose trademark was explosive tip bullets (which reverse normal effect of small entry-large exit & instead leave large entry & often no exit) When you look at a photo of Sartiz then look at the full blown up badgeman image there IS a SCARY likeness. I believe Oswald shot JFK thru the back (... BUT imagine Oswalds shock after scoring that hit to see the fatal shot by Sartiz 1 second later ????) Ive added the pic courtesy of blazers link showing Oswalds hit thru back (NOT neck)
[attachmentid=8660]
... further proof IF needed of conspiracy was the Inquiry done in 80's which aided by audio evidence clearly distinguished 2 different weapons firing !!!

I'm still amazed that the most famous footage of all time (well you can count Iwo Jima and some others too) is complimented by a photo which shows the exact split-second the muzzle flash went off from the fatal shot assassin. Unbelievable, it's like fate stepped in right there, nature tied everything up!

Anyone have the color close-up of the muzzle flash going off?
