This generation gets its own Kennedy Assassination

[PCIntern]

'variation'.

Now you know how it sounded...except she was not a US President:

While riding in an automobile with her head visible and exposed, in a city about which she had been repeatedly warned of danger, 'three shots rang out' and her head jerked and she 'slumped' (I dare anyone to explore the whole notion of the use of that word during the aftermath of the Dallas shooting - it is fascinating), while she was surrounded by 'admiring throngs of well-wishers'. She was rushed to a hospital where some work was performed but to no avail, and she was pronounced dead to an anguished crowd and the world. A brief speech was then made by a U.S. President (!?) from the State of Texas.

Her body was placed in a coffin without a (competent in JFK's case) autopsy, and quickly buried. The story of her death changed minute by minute and although there is incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, the 'official story stands, and will always stand, 'because there's not one shred of evidence to the contrary'.

Just to let the young'uns know: we all knew it was BS in 63, don't kid yourself. We weren't stupid then and we're not now. It's just that there are many more gullible folk than sensible ones.

1. No, more like Franz Ferdinand. nt

[PCIntern]

2. That may be determined to be true however...

don't think for one minute that the changes following the JFK killing were not the equivalent of a World War upheaval.

What I was referring to was the MSM (mis)handling of the process...

3. Well, I was stupid in 63, but I was only 10 years old...

Since then, I've tried to make up for it. But, you're still liable to get flame torched here for such things. They don't even have a JFK section on DU that I'm aware of.

I'd like to know more about her assassination, but I won't be any wiser. I'd also like to know more about Bhutto's conversation with David Frost, and if that was a slip of the tongue about the assassin who "also murdered OBL".

Slip of the tongue?

Magic bullet theory, Alren Specter?

So many questions...

4. Phuck the Phlamers...

"Bring it on"

[MrMickeysMom]

6. Atta boy!

:-)

5. The difference is that this generation probably doesn't care.

Outside of DU I've only met a small number of people who are even paying attention to it, and to most of them it's just a novelty. Few people, I think, really care about this one.

7. I believe that you're correct...

People would get real interested real fast if there were a draft instituted. Don't get me wrong...I'm certainly not advocating that, but self-interest is as American as apple pie.

8. She was shot and at least two bullets hit her. Your BRAINS aren't visible

through a circular hole in your head if you hit your head against a door opener.
The doctors are already backtracking and saying they were forced, and you can see her veil move as one of the bullets hit it. You see the gunman, you hear the shots.

Most importantly, her body is in the family mausoleum, safely AWAY from anyone who would fuck with it.

Those bullets won't reveal anything (the "American bullet" theory is bullshit, IMO). They'll just reveal that she was shot.

The ISI wants to make it appear that "the woman is to blame for her own death." They want to mitigate the martyrdom. It won't work. It isn't working...

I'm still sick about this. I cannot believe she is gone.

[PCIntern]

9. Yes...

we had the exact same conversations 44 years ago...still are. Scarred for life although...it got me intensely interested in politics and the process such as it is.

10. and Mr. Magic Bullet was there

[Rex]

11. Hey now! Militay generals of the finest stripe stood in on JFKs

autopsy. They found the pristine bullet on his gurney. All made perfect sense.

[IDemo]

12. The official story has been revealed as just that, a story.
