Creative Speculation
In reply to the discussion: Here's a correction OP for 50 Reasons, 50 Years OP [View all]arguille
(60 posts)I'll respond to the criticisms offered by W Seger:
a) eyewitness reports of shot(s) from grassy knoll area
It wasn't just Jean Hill but many people initially reported shots from that area, including persons riding in the motorcade. The video series' #14 is specifically on this topic. In the context of Seger's 90 degree argument, note that these eyewitnesses were facing in all directions, and yet all of them turned their attention to this one area. (By the way, the Zapruder film most certainly does not "irrefutably" show a shot from behind).
b) Fletcher Prouty worked at the Pentagon for years and interacted daily with Special Operations and CIA personnel. He can't be curtly dismissed, and he offers substantive reasons for his interpretation of Oswald's background: Atsugi, personal associations, etc
c) Seger dismisses information on Oswald's history and background as unsubstantial, even as the documentary evidence plays before him. The official story portrayed Oswald as a lone nut completely off the radar, and yet he defects to Russia at exactly the same time false defector programs are initiated by US intelligence agencies, and later Oswald appears in New Orleans to form a chapter of Fair Play for Cuba at exactly the same time as a counter-intelligence program targeting the FPCC is initiated. That's some coincidence.
d) Mexico City - whatever happened there, the CIA's handling of their own files showed that, as they would admit much later, the agency had an "operational interest" in Oswald. This is not what the official story tells us. Oswald's background was deliberately covered up by the Warren Commission, and agencies such as the CIA practiced lies and deceptions with this subject. There would have been no need for such a cover-up if the official story was actually true. It is not.
e) spooky one-note music. That I cannot answer for, and maybe the video-makers should have come up with at least a second note.
