I'm not going to say that's the stupidest thing I've ever read, but it's pretty f'in' close.

The autopsy of Kennedy's body suggested that all four shots that hit him came from behind, and powder marks on his skin showed they must have been from close range.

Anyone who knows about people would know that when a person sees a gun, the first thing that a person does is stick out the chest and make a large profile so that the face and abdomen take the bullets.

Nobody turns away from a threat at close range.

But Sirhan was in front of Kennedy when he fired, and after shooting two shots was overcome by hotel staff, who pinned him to a table. Also, Sirhan fired eight shots in total,

That is shaky evidence, and proof of conspiracy right there. This says that Sirhan was overcome by people after firing only two shots. But then, they say he fired EIGHT shots! There has gotta be a conspiracy somewhere! How could a guy fire only two shots, but eight shots at the same time?

I did not realize.. that the Guardian... was considered MAINSTREAM in ANY country

It's one of the 4 main 'serious' national newspapers in the UK. Why would we not consider it mainstream?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Lastly, five of the shots - 3, 5, 8, 10 and 12 in the sequence - were found to have odd acoustic characteristics when specific frequencies were analysed separately. Van Praag thinks this is because they came from a different gun pointing away from Pruszynski's microphone.

Newspapers will always publish items that will spark the interest of a reader to return to read another article.
They have a self-interest. So it is with conspiracy writers.

During Y2K, there were two types of writers. Ones that said that the problem would be handled effectively and only wrote one article. The second group wrote often about how the world would end and enjoyed a frenzied career.


One of the wildest assassination scenes was Huey Long in the 30s.

Most accounts say that Long was shot once or twice by Dr Weiss. Weiss was immediately shot some thirty times by Long's bodyguards and police.

Longs bodyguards carried .45 automatics, so you can imagine the scene. Because of the marble, there were other people with minor injuries due to the ricochet of splintered bullets.

Long had announced that he had proof of a conspiracy about 2 weeks before his death.

That would make an excellent movie.
