The JFK Assassination and American Conspiracy Culture by Jonathan Earle

[DanTex]

33. Huh? What facts would those be?

The fact is that you continually ignore the entire record of forensic evidence. I have refuted every single one of your points, while you haven't even attempted to address the actual evidence. Yes, some people reported hearing sounds from the grassy knoll. So what? That proves nothing. Like I said, we know for an absolute fact that no shots from the grassy knoll actually hit JFK, no bullets were found, no shell casings, no shooters, nothing. If there was a shooter, he missed and left no trace of evidence of any kind.

Evidence that you have ignored:

-- There are no entrance wounds on the front of JFK, but two entrance wounds in the back.
-- Both bullets that hit JFK were found, and matched by ballistics to Oswald's gun
-- Three shell casings were found on ths 6'th floor of TSBD
-- Oswald's fingerprints were at the scene of the crime
-- Oswald was last seen on the 6th floor of the TSBD, when Charlie Givens asked him if he was going down to lunch and Oswald said no.
-- One eyewitness saw Oswald actually shooting, immediately reported an accurate description to the police, picked Oswald out of a lineup, and gave sworn testimony to the WC oath that Oswald was the man he saw.
-- Three men positioned immediately below Oswald testified that shots came from right above them, and one of them heard shell casings drop and reloading sounds
-- One of those three men had dust fall on his head from the ceiling due to the gun blast the floor above
-- Oswald fled the scene, and was the only TSBD employee to do so
-- Oswald shot a police officer
-- Oswald left his wedding ring and some money for his wife that morning, something he had never done before
-- Oswald went home to his wife Thursday night, something he had never done before on weekdays
-- Oswald carried a rifle-sized bag to work that day, and when asked about it he said it was curtain rods for his apartment, even though his apartment already had curtain rods
-- Oswald lied to the police claiming that he was at lunch during the shooting, but nobody saw him there, including the people he said were in the room with him
-- Nobody in the TSBD saw Oswald for a period of 30 minutes prior to the shooting.
-- No TSBD employees saw anyone who didn't work there in the building
-- The overwhelming majority of people in Dealey Plaza said they heard three shots
-- More people heard shots from the TSBD than the grassy knoll

Now, just for a second, compare the overwhelming strength of the case against Oswald, against the fact that some witnesses claimed to hear shots from the grassy knoll, the fact that Oswald had an odd life story, and the fact that JFK had a lot of enemies, which in the end are the only actual pieces of evidence to suggest a conspiracy. It's not even close.
