    JFK - 50 Years On

    Lots of stuff on TV this month.

    I never get sick of knowing more about this period of history and all the many, many aspects of the story.

    I never quite realised just how beautiful Mrs Kennedy was, inside and out.

    I have been to the museum in Dallas. The spot he was allegedly shot from houses all the details, etc. Worth seeing if you go to Dallas.

        Thanks for the prompt, I've found about 20 hours of JFK stuff to watch when I get out of hospital.

          the Aussie made "cold case" one was really interesting. Has me pretty open to accepting that a secret service agent accidentally killed him

            Yeah, fascinating watching. There a lot of conspiracies I don't buy into, but that's pretty close!

              There was a great piece in the Herald Sun this week totally debunking that theory.

                What debunks it in particular, I don't generally get the Hun?

                Oh, and are registered numbers past 40,000 yet?

                  I was born 3 days before he was shot,don't remember it though.
                  Watched a show the other day on him, gee a lot of the Kennedys have had tragic deaths, 2 by gun shots 2 by aeroplane crashes and his sister died young too.

                    I have also been to many of the locations at Dealey Plaza including the official museum located on the 6th floor of the Book Depository building.
                    Interestingly the curator of the museum used to be an avowed conspiracy advocate and author about the JFK assassination, but has since changed his tune to the official line.
                    Im still firmly of the belief that Oswald was as he said 'a patsy' in a larger plot to kill Kennedy. I feel the need to add that I otherwise am not a believer in conspiracies, but that in this case I believe there is much more going on with JFK than the lone gunman theory espoused by the Warren Commission.

                      Boo!


                      Was probably Murdoch on the grassy knoll,

                      Any chance of a link to that article?

                      (or just a brief summary)
