Here's a correction OP for 50 Reasons, 50 Years OP

2. Introduction: Woman heard shot from grassy knoll

(From the thread you deleted)

That introduction starts off with a witness who says the shot came from "the hill" just as the limo was passing her. It was reports like that, of course, that started the whole "grassy knoll" thing.

Back in the 60s, the JFK conspiracy hucksters had me convinced that those reports were a "good reason" for believing there was a second shooter on the knoll. But when I went to Army basic training, one afternoon we went to some bleachers set down in a pit to learn how to identify where shots that were fired overhead were coming from. Now, why do you suppose that would require special training? Turns out, it's not nearly as simple as you might think because of a complication: Bullets from high-powered military and hunting rifles fly faster than sound, which means that the first thing you hear is their "sonic boom." It actually sounds like a whip cracking, because it's really the same phenomenon. But here's the thing which was the point of the class: Because it's a shock wave from the bullet as it passes you, that crack always sounds like it's coming from a direction perpendicular to the actual path of the bullet. What we were taught was to listen for the "thump" sound that followed the crack (hence the name "crack/thump method&quot , which is the actual sound coming from the muzzle.

If you apply that knowledge to this woman's testimony, it tells a rather different story than the one conspiracy hucksters would like to sell: The shooter was most likely 90 degrees away from where the woman thought he was. "Good reason," not so much, but trying to explain why to conspiracy zealots never seems to be very productive. Just like trying to explain why the Zapruder film irrefutably shows JFK getting hit from behind.

And on and on it goes, through EVERY "good reason" offered by the conspiracy hucksters, to the best of my knowledge -- there's ALWAYS some reason why it just isn't the "smoking gun" they claim it is, and far too often, it's far short of the known facts.

But even though you couldn't seem to give me a good reason why I should, I did watch another video:

Episode One: L. Fletcher Prouty speculates Oswald was somehow connected with the CIA, with spooky, one-note soundtrack. No time to substantiate, apparently, and no time to explain how Prouty spans the logical chasm from that to concluding that the CIA killed JFK; he just just invites you to make that leap on your own.

I'd say this series is off to a bad start, but I'm sure you're too open minded to consider that possibility.
