JFK: The Case for Conspiracy

Summary: Nicely-Restored JFK Films - But The Rest Of This Is Nonsense
Review: "JFK: The Case For Conspiracy" is a nicely-constructed program -- put together and narrated by Robert J. Groden. It's also, IMO, a wholly-inaccurate program regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Mr. Groden sees "conspiracy" virtually everywhere. I disagree. IMO, one man (Lee Harvey Oswald) fired the only three shots at the President in 1963, taking the life of the 35th U.S. Commander-In-Chief.

One of the more humorous efforts by Mr. Groden to "prove" that a conspiracy existed in Dallas' Dealey Plaza is his assertion that the very blurry and grainy motion-picture sequence filmed by bystander Charles Bronson somehow verifies that MULTIPLE people can be detected just minutes prior to the assassination on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository (the floor where Oswald was seen firing a rifle and where Oswald's rifle was found after the shooting). But if one evaluates, even casually, this "evidence" that Mr. Groden says is concrete "proof" that reveals more than one person on the 6th Floor (and thereby proving conspiracy) -- the "movement" that Groden equates to "people" on the 6th Floor is EXACTLY the same kind of "movement" that can be seen dancing all over the BRICKS on the front of the Depository building! The "movement" appears to be nothing more than photographic grain and "noise" on Bronson's far-from-superior film.

Here's a list of questions I have for all "Conspiracy Theorists" (CTers) to reconcile.................

1.) Why, if the President was shot in the head from the FRONT (Grassy Knoll area), does JFK's head rock FORWARD slightly at the precise moment of the bullet's impact (from Z312 to Z313 in the famous "Zapruder Film")?

2.) Why is all the "blood spray" at Z313 TO THE FRONT of John Kennedy's head if the shot DIDN'T come from the rear?

3.) If JFK was shot at least once from the front, why were the only bullet fragments discovered in the limousine found near the front seat, i.e.: to the FRONT of the President in the car?

4.) For those who believe Oswald was nothing but a "Patsy" --- How did the conspirators orchestrating the "Patsy Plot" keep Oswald in a place where they KNEW for a fact Oswald would NOT be seen by anyone inside or outside the TSBD Building at the exact time of the assassination?

5.) For those who believe the slightly-differing theory that has Oswald "knowingly involved", but still a conspiracy existed --- Why didn't his fellow conspirators offer Oswald a ride away from the assassination scene? Why was Lee the only shooter/conspirator left out to dry in such a scenario?

6.) How could the conspirators possibly have managed to "steal" JFK's body after the assassination, in complete secrecy (as many theorists have postulated)? -- (From either the heavily-guarded Air Force One aircraft at Love Field, or at Andrews AFB, or at Parkland Hospital?)

7.) Why would conspirators feel the need to FAKE and "plant" THREE different "Backyard Photos" depicting Oswald prior to the assassination -- when zero were really needed to link Oswald with .... A.) The rifle; B.) The revolver; and C.) Oswald's ties to Russia?

8.) Why did multiple HSCA investigators declare that the "Backyard Photos" were "authentic"? Were all of these people who looked at the pictures conspirators too?

9.) If Jack Ruby was "assigned" to rub out Oswald as part of a conspiracy, why then did Ruby take the time to send a stripper a Money Order just 4 minutes prior to his "appointment" with Oswald?

10.) Why would Ruby have taken his adored dog with him to a pre-planned killing from which he had to KNOW he would not return to his vehicle?

11.) Why did Oswald kill policeman J.D. Tippit, if Oswald had NOT just 45 minutes earlier killed JFK?

12.) Why do so many people totally disregard the testimony of up to 10 witnesses who positively identified Oswald as the man who (alone) killed Tippit (or saw him flee immediately afterward)? Conspiracy theorists, instead, seem to rely heavily on the sole testimony of Mrs. Acquilla Clemons about having seen two men, neither one Oswald. *

* = If you want my pure guess on Clemons' account -- She's obviously confused on her "timing" here. She saw heavy-set Ted Callaway take Tippit's own gun from under his dead body and run away with the gun (to go and hunt down Oswald). She is attributing CALLAWAY as one of the "killers" of Tippit, IMO.

13.) How did the conspirators (in a "Patsy" scenario) get this lucky? ----> The ONE MAN they are trying to "set up" for the JFK murder just happens to get himself hired by Roy Truly at the Depository weeks before anyone knew of the motorcade through Dallas. **

** = And the popular theory that Oswald was somehow "placed" in the building by conspirators won't hold even an ounce of water -- because we know Oswald got the Depository job through recommendations of friends and neighbors, including Ruth Paine and 19-year-old stock man Wesley Frazier and his sister.

14.) Why didn't conspirators "eliminate" Oswald much earlier than the morning of November 24th? IMO, in any conspiracy plot that is going to require Oswald being "rubbed out", letting Oswald live for even an hour after the assassination makes little to no sense.

15.) Why does Oswald spin lie after lie to the police after he's arrested (IF he's completely innocent of killing anyone, as he screamed to the waiting press, on November 22nd)?

16.) What was in that "package" of Oswald's the morning of 11/22 (if NOT a rifle with serial number C2766)? Oswald's "curtain rod" story won't fly either.

17.) After his arrest, why didn't Oswald spill his guts about ANY conspiracy plan he was involved in? Just saying the words "I'm just a patsy" one time doesn't cut it. If he KNEW that SOME type of "plot" was "going down" on 11/22, then it stands to reason that he would have talked like a singing jaybird after he was caught. And to believe that he DID talk (and gave names of co-conspirators) is to implicate multiple police officials, etc., in the "plot" to cover-up the truth (Fritz, Curry, Leavelle, Wade, et al). And THAT is just silly on its face, IMO. ***

*** = Oswald's "Patsy" quote, BTW, has actually been taken somewhat out of context (if you think about exactly WHEN he uttered his famous "Patsy" statement). Oswald stated he was a "Patsy" ONLY after ALSO declaring the obvious lie of: "They've taken me in because of the fact I've lived in the Soviet Union". ... Therefore, he's not specifically saying he's being used as a "Patsy" by conspirators who are trying to frame him for a murder he never committed. He's saying here that he's being used as a "Patsy" by the Dallas Police Department because of the mere fact he defected to Russia. Big difference. And seeing as how we KNOW for a fact that his "Soviet Union" line of dialogue is nothing but a lie, then WHY would we (the public and the press) be expected to suddenly believe he's NOW telling us the truth when he spouts "I'm just a patsy" just one second later? One lie feeds the other, in my estimation.

--------------------------

Robert Groden's videos, DVDs, and books are excellent resources for collecting the various JFK assassination-related films and photographs. But that's as far as my recommendation can extend. I like having several of Mr. Groden's products for the restored films and photos, but I could do without all the excess "Conspiracy" baggage that comes along with them.

Summary: important and truthfull....
Review: JFK: the Case for Conspiracy by Robert Groden, who was a consultant for Oliver Stone in JFK, is one of the most underrated and least talked about Kennedy assassination films, but it just happens to be one of the most importanta films out there.

the films disects piece by piece the Zapruda film and you really start to see all the shots that connected to Kennedy and Conally. there is rare footage of the Dallas doctors who operated on Kennedy that day and all of them mention the back of Kennedy's head being completely gone, just gone.

the DVD is very good and very important. the only thing that bothers me is that some times Groden and company see things in the shadows that other people don't see and they mentioned Black Dog Man about 100 times in 10 mintues.

other than that, this is an important DVD documentary and will really put things into perspective on the assassination of President Kennedy.

Summary: Extremely intriguing!
Review: Just when you thought that the intrigue surrounding the conspiracy to kill President Kennedy couldnt be at a higher level, Robert Groden's "JFK, The case for conspiracy." DVD comes out.
This Dvd is extremely interesting and unique.
Groden, along with the narration of fellow JFK Assassination researcher Mark Crouch, takes us for a ride in JFK's motorcade.....literally!
This Dvd has VERY rare footage (some of it possibly never before seen by the American public) of that fateful day in Dallas.
From the moment that JFK left for Dallas, until the moment that the gunmen fired their shots, to the biggest lie in American political history (You know it as "The Warren Report"), this DVD covers all of the bases.
Groden, who is a photographic specialist, has meticulously studied all of the photos and films made in Dallas that day, and shares them with us, along with giving us his conclusions on what the photos show (Some of these conclusions will shock you to your core!) Beware though, as Groden also shows some of the JFK autopsy photos, although they SHOULD be included in this DVD, because to understand this case, you need to understand the medical evidence and how it was manipulated to deceive the American public.
The picture quality on this DVD is obviously not equal to an Oliver Stone movie, but still, Groden and company manage their limited resources and they have created an extremely interesting DVD that you wont forget anytime soon. In fact, you will have the "Pause" button on your DVD player worn out, because you will want to take in all of the minute detail of Groden's studies.
If the picture quality on this DVD was better, I would have given it 5 stars. It is that good!
If you are a JFK Assassination researcher, or just someone who wants to learn some fascinating American history that the history books Omit, this DVD along with Groden's other DVD about the Kennedy Assassination are a MUST HAVE!
Jesus said "The truth shall set you free". Well America doesnt have the truth about who killed our President. So what does that make us?

Summary: TWO WORDS, INCREDIBLE!!!
Review: One of the best DVD's involving Kennedy's life and tragic death. From his childhood in Lee's Summit, MO to his short stint as a minor league baseball player with the Toledo Mudhens, no stone is left unturned. There is even a short story about his favorite colors, foods, and others narrated by Don Cheadle on disk two. They also put in an alternate ending that shows what life would be like today if Kennedy had lived. Deniro is excellent as the lone gunman. If you are a Kennedy fan, you have to own this disk. A++++

Summary: What a bargain!
Review: This dvd is great and very affordable. It features a treasure chest of rare footage of the motorcade and Dealey Plaza after the shooting. The destruction of the single bullet theory is powerful. The interviews with the Parkland and Betheda doctors, and their impressions of the official autopsy photos was very damaging to the Warren Commission.

My only complaints are the parts regarding new photographic evidence. Blowing up a sixth floor window in a tiny photograph and showing a guys head that takes up the entire window and the "black dog man" analysis aren't really necessary. The black dog man and the badgeman photos always bothered me since the evidence shows the shots came from behind the picket fence.. not that little pagola or whatever it's called.

Summary: Another fantasy conspiracy DVD
Review: This DVD would form a good companion to the movie JFK about which director Oliver Stone ADMITS that he made up facts. He now calls the movie JFK "an alternative myth". I trust that the conspiracy industry knows what the word "myth" means! Oliver now says that he used "dramatic licence" in making the film. This can also be said of this documentary as the man that made this also was an adviser on the JFK film.
Why do we have so many documetaries like this? The answer is money for it has become a money-making industry.
We have had others-like those that claim Elvis is still alive,the ridiculous Moon landing conspiracy documentaries,the Nostradamus documentaries that told us the world was going to end in 1999 and so on.
As long as some people are gullible,then this sort of rubbish will come out.
Fans would be better off buying The ABC News Presents "The Kennedy Assassination-Beyond Conspiracy",a documentary which has interviews with Oswald's relatives and has proof that he did the assassination.
