    Secret Service is definitely made up of a bunch of largely incompetent buffoons.

    After the Trump near success and stuff like this and Jan 6 I’m definitely a proponent of the theory that JFK was just accidentally domed by a secret service agent.

      no no, the theory is it was the agent in the front seat reaching for his shoulder holster and fumbling, firing through the seat and through jfk’s head, explaining the whole “magic bullet” thing and the zapruder film “back and to the left”

      So many people were observing the position of JFK’s head that, due the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the momentum of its contents went to infinity

      I 100% don’t buy the “SS agent who was hung over and didn’t know how to use his newfangled AR-15 so he accidentally shot JFK line.” It’s obv nonsense if you look further into it. Simple ballistics evidence alone shows that’s not how it went down. I can elaborate if you really want (I’m crazy JFK Pilled) but evidence shows multiple shooters, and the most likely hits came from behind. So that means, not Oswald, not some guy in the grassy knoll, but two dudes in one of the buildings that was behind the motorcade did the shooting. Plus the damage doesn’t line up with what a .223 round would do. That level of head explosion is achieved with a full power rifle round.

          Edit: SHIT! I was replying to the wrong comment. Give me a bit.

          The Death is Just Around The Corner series called Lose Extra Pounds of Brain and Bone the JFK Way does the best job of dissecting the bourgeoise power struggle that led to the Kennedy assassination. I’m not 100% on board with the analysis of the actual shooting in this series but as far as the wider political implications go it’s pretty damn close.

              Truanon has a really fun JFK series where they just go through the vast list of wacky shit that was happening in Dallas that day. They don’t offer any conclusions, it’s just like a twilight zone episode of all the spies and mobsters and intelligence freaks with Rod being like “what is the truth? We may never know what really happened in… the twilight zone.”
