This DVD would form a good companion to the movie JFK about which director Oliver Stone ADMITS that he made up facts. He now calls the movie JFK “an alternative myth”. I trust that the conspiracy industry knows what the word “myth” means! Oliver now says that he used “dramatic licence” in making the film. This can also be said of this documentary as the man that made this also was an adviser on the JFK film.
Why do we have so many documetaries like this? The answer is money for it has become a money-making industry.
We have had others-like those that claim Elvis is still alive,the ridiculous Moon landing conspiracy documentaries,the Nostradamus documentaries that told us the world was going to end in 1999 and so on.
As long as some people are gullible,then this sort of rubbish will come out.
Fans would be better off buying The ABC News Presents “The Kennedy Assassination-Beyond Conspiracy”,a documentary which has interviews with Oswald’s relatives and has proof that he did the assassination.

One of the best DVD’s involving Kennedy’s life and tragic death. From his childhood in Lee’s Summit, MO to his short stint as a minor league baseball player with the Toledo Mudhens, no stone is left unturned. There is even a short story about his favorite colors, foods, and others narrated by Don Cheadle on disk two. They also put in an alternate ending that shows what life would be like today if Kennedy had lived. Deniro is excellent as the lone gunman. If you are a Kennedy fan, you have to own this disk. A++++

Groden has done an excellent job of video remastering the films presented here but his work is inconclusive and does not present any hard evidence of a conspiracy. The single bullet theory is alive and well IMO. Perhaps Oswald had more time to shoot than originally thought because he fired the first shot earlier than first thought. A bystander (James Tague) was hit by a bullet fragment from that first shot. Oswald had time to regroup and fire the second shot which hit JFK at the base of the neck (in the rear) and passed through nicking the knot of his tie. Bullets tumble, slow down and do not maintain a straight line after they pass through a body (the bullet was in line to hit Connally without having to zig and zag). The governor was NOT sitting directly in front of JFK (he was seated left) nor was he at the same height in the car (he was lower and turning to right in response to the first shot). Elm St was slanted downwards plus the target was close to the shooter (JFK was only about 88 yards away from the Oswald rifle at the third shot).
The massive head wound JFK sustained was caused by a bullet entering the BACK of his head and exiting the right front. The particulate matter that sprayed everyone in the limo went to the FRONT not to the rear. All of the bullet fragments were found at the FRONT of the limo. I have seen no evidence of matter being sprayed to the trunk of the limo and I watched enhanced versions of the Zapruder film hundreds of times. The jerking and snapping back of JFK’s head and body was caused by a neuro-muscular reaction to the destruction of the president’s brain (BTW, there was a forward motion at the moment the bullet struck the president’s head). The evidence is just not there for other shooters, period. No man hole shooter, no grassy knoll shooter and no Dal-Tex Bldg shooter.
Anyone who has studied the JFK assassination like I have can learn to appreciate conspiracy theorists or believers of the Warren Report. That said, everyone should read “Case Closed” by Gerald Posner with an open mind. You might see the assassination in a whole new light. By not reading that book and only reading and studying books and films that support the conspiracy theorists is just blind judgement and narrow mindedness. No true assassination buff can make valid arguments if all angles and viewpoints aren’t explored and sorted out for their worth as truth or fiction.
UPDATE: 3/7/09 The very informative book written by Vincent Bugliosi (Helter Skelter) squashes the conspiracy theories like a bug. The title is “Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F Kennedy”. Buy or check this book out and you’ll never believe in JFK conspiracies again…it will open your eyes…

“JFK: The Case For Conspiracy” is a nicely-constructed program — put together and narrated by Robert J. Groden. It’s also, IMO, a wholly-inaccurate program regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Mr. Groden sees “conspiracy” virtually everywhere. I disagree. IMO, one man (Lee Harvey Oswald) fired the only three shots at the President in 1963, taking the life of the 35th U.S. Commander-In-Chief.
One of the more humorous efforts by Mr. Groden to “prove” that a conspiracy existed in Dallas’ Dealey Plaza is his assertion that the very blurry and grainy motion-picture sequence filmed by bystander Charles Bronson somehow verifies that MULTIPLE people can be detected just minutes prior to the assassination on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository (the floor where Oswald was seen firing a rifle and where Oswald’s rifle was found after the shooting). But if one evaluates, even casually, this “evidence” that Mr. Groden says is concrete “proof” that reveals more than one person on the 6th Floor (and thereby proving conspiracy) — the “movement” that Groden equates to “people” on the 6th Floor is EXACTLY the same kind of “movement” that can be seen dancing all over the BRICKS on the front of the Depository building! The “movement” appears to be nothing more than photographic grain and “noise” on Bronson’s far-from-superior film.
Here’s a list of questions I have for all “Conspiracy Theorists” (CTers) to reconcile……………..
1.) Why, if the President was shot in the head from the FRONT (Grassy Knoll area), does JFK’s head rock FORWARD slightly at the precise moment of the bullet’s impact (from Z312 to Z313 in the famous “Zapruder Film”)?
2.) Why is all the “blood spray” at Z313 TO THE FRONT of John Kennedy’s head if the shot DIDN’T come from the rear?
3.) If JFK was shot at least once from the front, why were the only bullet fragments discovered in the limousine found near the front seat, i.e.: to the FRONT of the President in the car?
4.) For those who believe Oswald was nothing but a “Patsy” — How did the conspirators orchestrating the “Patsy Plot” keep Oswald in a place where they KNEW for a fact Oswald would NOT be seen by anyone inside or outside the TSBD Building at the exact time of the assassination?
5.) For those who believe the slightly-differing theory that has Oswald “knowingly involved”, but still a conspiracy existed — Why didn’t his fellow conspirators offer Oswald a ride away from the assassination scene? Why was Lee the only shooter/conspirator left out to dry in such a scenario?
6.) How could the conspirators possibly have managed to “steal” JFK’s body after the assassination, in complete secrecy (as many theorists have postulated)? — (From either the heavily-guarded Air Force One aircraft at Love Field, or at Andrews AFB, or at Parkland Hospital?)
7.) Why would conspirators feel the need to FAKE and “plant” THREE different “Backyard Photos” depicting Oswald prior to the assassination — when zero were really needed to link Oswald with …. A.) The rifle; B.) The revolver; and C.) Oswald’s ties to Russia?
8.) Why did multiple HSCA investigators declare that the “Backyard Photos” were “authentic”? Were all of these people who looked at the pictures conspirators too?
9.) If Jack Ruby was “assigned” to rub out Oswald as part of a conspiracy, why then did Ruby take the time to send a stripper a Money Order just 4 minutes prior to his “appointment” with Oswald?
10.) Why would Ruby have taken his adored dog with him to a pre-planned killing from which he had to KNOW he would not return to his vehicle?
11.) Why did Oswald kill policeman J.D. Tippit, if Oswald had NOT just 45 minutes earlier killed JFK?
12.) Why do so many people totally disregard the testimony of up to 10 witnesses who positively identified Oswald as the man who (alone) killed Tippit (or saw him flee immediately afterward)? Conspiracy theorists, instead, seem to rely heavily on the sole testimony of Mrs. Acquilla Clemons about having seen two men, neither one Oswald. *
* = If you want my pure guess on Clemons’ account — She’s obviously confused on her “timing” here. She saw heavy-set Ted Callaway take Tippit’s own gun from under his dead body and run away with the gun (to go and hunt down Oswald). She is attributing CALLAWAY as one of the “killers” of Tippit, IMO.
13.) How did the conspirators (in a “Patsy” scenario) get this lucky? —-> The ONE MAN they are trying to “set up” for the JFK murder just happens to get himself hired by Roy Truly at the Depository weeks before anyone knew of the motorcade through Dallas. **
** = And the popular theory that Oswald was somehow “placed” in the building by conspirators won’t hold even an ounce of water — because we know Oswald got the Depository job through recommendations of friends and neighbors, including Ruth Paine and 19-year-old stock man Wesley Frazier and his sister.
14.) Why didn’t conspirators “eliminate” Oswald much earlier than the morning of November 24th? IMO, in any conspiracy plot that is going to require Oswald being “rubbed out”, letting Oswald live for even an hour after the assassination makes little to no sense.
15.) Why does Oswald spin lie after lie to the police after he’s arrested (IF he’s completely innocent of killing anyone, as he screamed to the waiting press, on November 22nd)?
16.) What was in that “package” of Oswald’s the morning of 11/22 (if NOT a rifle with serial number C2766)? Oswald’s “curtain rod” story won’t fly either.
17.) After his arrest, why didn’t Oswald spill his guts about ANY conspiracy plan he was involved in? Just saying the words “I’m just a patsy” one time doesn’t cut it. If he KNEW that SOME type of “plot” was “going down” on 11/22, then it stands to reason that he would have talked like a singing jaybird after he was caught. And to believe that he DID talk (and gave names of co-conspirators) is to implicate multiple police officials, etc., in the “plot” to cover-up the truth (Fritz, Curry, Leavelle, Wade, et al). And THAT is just silly on its face, IMO. ***
*** = Oswald’s “Patsy” quote, BTW, has actually been taken somewhat out of context (if you think about exactly WHEN he uttered his famous “Patsy” statement). Oswald stated he was a “Patsy” ONLY after ALSO declaring the obvious lie of: “They’ve taken me in because of the fact I’ve lived in the Soviet Union”. … Therefore, he’s not specifically saying he’s being used as a “Patsy” by conspirators who are trying to frame him for a murder he never committed. He’s saying here that he’s being used as a “Patsy” by the Dallas Police Department because of the mere fact he defected to Russia. Big difference. And seeing as how we KNOW for a fact that his “Soviet Union” line of dialogue is nothing but a lie, then WHY would we (the public and the press) be expected to suddenly believe he’s NOW telling us the truth when he spouts “I’m just a patsy” just one second later? One lie feeds the other, in my estimation.
————————–
Robert Groden’s videos, DVDs, and books are excellent resources for collecting the various JFK assassination-related films and photographs. But that’s as far as my recommendation can extend. I like having several of Mr. Groden’s products for the restored films and photos, but I could do without all the excess “Conspiracy” baggage that comes along with them.

Classic case if you want it to be there, it is!
These guys see things that are only blurred blowups.
Under there theory all of humanity is to blame.
