5 Conspiracy Theories That Are Shockingly Easy to Debunk

#5. The JFK Assassination Is Explained by How the Targets Were Sitting

If you've seen Oliver Stone's JFK, then you'll remember the climactic scene in which Kevin Costner "proves" that the Kennedy assassination was a conspiracy by demonstrating the impossible path of Oswald's shot, which he sarcastically dubs "the magic bullet."

The problem, according to those who believe in the conspiracy theory, is that Kennedy and Governor John Connally (who was seated in front of him) both suffered a constellation of wounds on their bodies from what the official investigation claims was a single bullet fired by Oswald. For this to be possible, the bullet would have had to curve around in midair several times, in multiple directions.
Since this openly defies the laws of physics, there must have been another shooter on the grassy knoll, or maybe the limo driver did it, or perhaps it was space lasers from a Nazi base on the moon. In Stone's film and elsewhere, you see it accompanied by a diagram like this:

The Simple Misunderstanding:
JFK and Connally weren't sitting like that.
The people who draw up these diagrams invariably put Connally at an equal height to and seated directly in front of Kennedy. That's where they'd be sitting if they were two ordinary dudes riding in an ordinary sedan, but the problem is that this sedan happened to be carrying one ordinary dude and the president of the United States.

1. Are you serious?

This is garbage. Really. You can do better. Some DUers are more qualified than the author of this garbage to present more reasonable "debunk".

His "debunking" of the controversy regarding JFK assassination is laughable. The fact that the diagram is wrong doesn't mean anything. Doesn't prove Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Doesn't explain the injury in the back of Kennedy's head. He didn't debunk anything.

The "debunking" of Pearl Harbor contoversy is even more pathetic. I mean, any elementary school history teacher would laugh of this explanation. The fact that the Tripartite Pact was only defensive doesn't mean the US didn't know about the attacks and much less the US could not use this attack to get involved in the war. Again, he didn't debuk anything.

To "debunk" theories about WTC the author would have to offer an answer to ALL topics that are questioned. He's not saying anything here. He's not debunking anything. He didn't even mention WTC7... how can he be "debunking" anything if he's not even referring to the real controversies in first place?

Well, it's easy to claim to be debunking something. The difficult part is to really debunk something. The author of your article failed miserably at his attempt. This reads like a school pamphlet, something written by a teenager...

2. You use a comedy site as a reference?

Don't expect a more serious response than laughter.

7. Digging up the Truth a Half a Century Later

I think the only hope you have to find out the truth about this, will be if you are fortunate enough to have a second generation involved in the cover up and prove that.

Secondly I have derived at the conclusion the reason Rubenstein was going neuro-paranoid and started talking about stuff he was over heard like something about he can't let the Jews get blamed, . . .

that was because his association with Organized Crime and contacts at the cops in Dallas's favorite strip bar made it possible for a leak from the guy who stated that he was a patsy,

and because that patsy, . . Lee Harvey Oswald was still alive and that might be blamed on the cop that had the table turned on him when LHO killed him , . .
and therefore, "Ruby had to kill Oswald, but could not use a, "head shot", because of the danger to others there, so he shot him in the belly, and the rest was left to others during his ride to the hospital and or when he arrived.

Main Motive, as I see it now, BIG oil needed to sell lots of Weapons to Israel, right away, and Texans where starting to look Bad with the Arabs around, and JFK wasn't buying it.

Second generation, . . you don't have to be a genius to figure that out.

I think the second generation are the the ones that murdered Brown, . .

and that might be provable, so you need to start in 2013 and work your way back a half a century.

BTW

If you read that Secretary of Commerce Brown was assassinated by, "Big-Oil",
and promoted Obama to cover it up, . do you think you could you prove it didn't happen?


US Office of Energy Related Inventions Chief Analyst, George Blewett - Deceased
US Dept. of Commerce Fraud Hot Line, Ron Hurd - Deceased
Enron Chief Executive Officer - Deceased
Secretary Brown - Deceased

What do you think are in the files of the O.E.R.I. at NIST, . USDOC ?
I won't say I can prove this happened, I am saying can you prove it didn't ?

I could provide a motive and a damn good one !
