(20,709 posts)This particular documentary lies repeatedly about the facts. For example.
The documentary claims that Oswald only shot 2 of the 3 shots fired. But they neglect to mention the three witnesses standing directly below Oswald who heard 3 shots fired above them, inside the building. They also neglect to mention that nobody heard any shots fired from the car with the Secret Service agent who supposedly shot JFK by accident. That includes the people who were sitting in the car, who were asked about this when the book came out, and who all said that obviously they would have noticed if an AR-15 went off right next to them and they didn't.
Another fact they neglect to mention is that bullet fragments from JFK's head shot were found in his car, and matched ballistically to Oswald's gun. A pretty important fact to consider when pondering a theory that this shot actually came from a Secret Service agent's AR-15, wouldn't you agree?
The thing is, anyone even slightly interested in the facts of the JFK assassination would, at the very least, know about the witnesses who heard the shots, as well as the ballistic matches. Which means that the documentary makers assumed that the audience would either be ignorant of the basic facts of the case, or would be willing to entertain an obviously false narrative. In other words, it was made for people who are anxious to believe a conspiracy theory, any conspiracy theory.
