-Caveat Lector- All the well-intentioned specials on the JFK assassination are maddening.
The Peter Jennings special aired Nov. 20 "proved" that Oswald was in the building, did fire three shots, and acted alone. But they left some very important things out. The conspiracy nuts are just as bad when they say all the witnesses in Dealey Plaza died in suspicious circumstances. But they leave out the one person in that car who is still alive, Nellie Connally, the widow of Tex. Gov. John Connally; they were in the seat in front of JFK and Jackie. When it is said Oswald acted alone, they are using a semantic trick to win their nonwinnable argument. Nellie Connally says in her new book that anyone who says 3 shots were fired that day doesn't know what they are talking about. She was there and there were 4 shots, she says. Oswald allegedly intended to kill the president that day; but he may have suspected his shots had not done enough damage to kill him. AS FAR AS HE KNEW beforehand, he WAS acting alone. It was only when he saw the 4th shot blow the president's skull off that he knew he had been set up. Ruby's shooting of Oswald may or may not have been part of a conspiracy but it is NOT relevant to whether there were 4 shots or 3; this is more distraction added to the mix to confuse the public. Why Ruby acted does not affect the fatal JFK head shot. Experts who were not there can "prove" anything they want using a carefully selected set of "facts.". They will not convince Nellie Connally. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed.
