Peter Jennings Reporting: The Kennedy Assassination - Beyond Conspiracy

A Great documentary I also recommend - JFK Beyond the magic bullet.

This should be viewed by all as an example of a disgusting, dishonest bulldozer through the truth. ABC and Peter Jennings make up our precious history and probably the most important events in that history out of pure fantasy. If you ever doubted America has its implausible propaganda (way beyond anything the Nazis or the Soviet Union could even dream about), then take a good look because here it is. I was especially furious to see Dale Myers with his idiotic computer-animated depiction of the Zapruder film, smugly making a truly bogus analysis of the event, claiming that he could see where the bullet rips through Gov. Connally's jacket, and that the "single bullet theory" is no longer a theory, but fact. He never mentions that the same bullet shattered Connally's wrist, even though Connally is holding on to his cowboy hat for several seconds. I notice that a poll was taken after this show aired and no one was convinced. Shame on Peter Jennings and ABC for trying to foist this on us! If this is what the American media is capable of, what other lies have they jammed down our throats?

Finally, a compelling documentary that doesn't use invented facts to persuade it's audience. The assassination of John F Kennedy shocked the nation and the world. A young, charismatic and very popular U.S. president, murdered in the prime of his life. And the villain? A nobody. A loser. How can that be? Then, two days later ... he is assassinated while in police custody, on live television. Smells like a conspiracy to most rational people. That's where we begin. And through interviews with local and national journalists, we get the feeling that most truly believed that there was a much bigger story than the one the public were being told. Forty years later, and clearly a great many people (most of the U.S. population) believe we have not been told the true story. I grew up hearing about the conspiracies, not the evidence that convinced the authorities that Oswald was the killer, and he acted alone. I knew that the shots Oswald made that day were impossible, and NO ONE had duplicated that kind of accuracy in that limited amount of time. This same claim is repeated in Stone's film "JFK". We've heard about a "magic bullet", which changed directions and stopped in mid-air, before continuing into the body of Governor Connelly. This is what the public, at least those who paid attention, heard from our media. I was convinced it had to be a conspiracy. Well, what this documentary does, is shine a light on the myths first introduced by Authors pushing their version of events of that day, and those in the media who parroted them. The predominant piece of media impacting the public's view of that day, being Oliver Stone's popular film "JFK". We learn, by documented evidence, that these myths are either flat out lies, or distortions of the truth. We learn that the witnesses these authors have used to make their cases, have said things that conflict with the accounts from the authors. We learn that nearly every claim which supports the conspiracy, has been discredited by the facts ... the evidence. What do we have left? We have JFK's head moving "back and to the left" after the fatal head shot. Some people will never get past that visual. I understand that urge. But, if you want to learn the evidence of this case, in a thoughtful, rational presentation, this is the documentary to see. If you're not emotionally tied to one side or the other, and just want to know what happened? Watch this documentary.

This film uses Stone's film as a punching bag, trying to fit a complex subject into an hour. It's a whitewash - not necessarily of the fact that a conspiracy existed, but that we don't know. Anyone who has examined the evidence knows that there are too many unanswered questions to land definitively on either side of the fence. But when a film shows one witness claiming that Kennedy's head wound was "clearly" suffered from the rear, it tells you all you need to know: look elsewhere for honest questions, honest answers. Stone's movie was flawed - most especially by its gratuitous addition of fictional elements which have never appeared in any of the serious challenges to the Warren Commission findings. (Donald Southerland's character, for instance) But Stone has always been the master of "bulldozer" cinema; that he would play with history for his own purposes does not diminish the very real likelihood that JFK was killed by a conspiracy.

No disrespect to the late Peter Jennings, but he lost a TON of credibility with this special (I am now watching, saw when it first came out...and am always compelled to watch over and over again when it airs because it is such a grotesquely-perverted piece of propaganda that it defies belief that it would have even originally aired or is STILL airing to this day!). Many of the other reviews here reveal my same sentiment, but don't really address WHY Jennings would have been a part of this farce. And anyone who doesn't/can't put one and one together to realize an entry wound would/will be smaller than an exit wound can be convinced...well...that an elephant can hang from a cliff by a daisy. But those of us who USE our brains...are insulted when we're expected to believe that "back and to the left" could result from anything BUT a forward head shot. Not only did this ridiculous documentary try to convince us that the "magic bullet" was REALLY magic (a direct spit in the face...front and center...to anyone with even an ounce of deductive reasoning can see would be an IMPOSSIBILITY)...but it also tried to convince us, as stated above, that a rear shot can cause a head to jerk backwards!! In what alternate universe?? I would be sooner convinced of that elephant hanging from a cliff! NOW...back to WHY Jennings would be a part of this farce...this disgusting ruse...after ALL this time?? My main guess is because the elites LOVE to play games...even TIMELESS ones on us simpletons...the REAL skulls and bones at the bottom of the world hierarchy/pyramid structure. These are propaganda, misinformation, population control exercises and games that are titillation for them. Again, no disrespect to a dead man who can no longer defend his legacy, character or integrity (Mr. Jennings)...but I propose that he was DEFINITELY a tool of the elites and their perennial propaganda/misinformation/mind-control games! If they can convince us that LHO was the lone assassin...even now...almost 50 YEARS after the fact...well hell...they can convince us of ANYTHING...even 9-11! I will close with the nail that will bond my entire supposition together! And that is that Peter Jennings was a member of the Bilderberg group...that "pure and wonderful" group of elites that "care so much" about the world population that they would (clandestinely...but that means nothing...yeah right!) get together and make S'Mores and only DECIDE THE FATE OF ALL THE WORLD'S SERFS!! So just put two and two together! Believe me you'll get some semblances of FOUR every time!!
