I confirmed one of the claims in the movie JFK myself.
I'm always more interested in proof of a conspiracy, than in evidence of any particular parties guilt. This is usually easier to find, because the conspiracy itself leaves more evidence in harder to control situations than the crime does.
One good example of this is something I was able to confirm myself by direct examination.
In JFK there's a scene that really struck me, where Kevin Costner is getting filled in by Mr. X in Washington. He tells JFK that the papers in New Zealand have full write-ups of LHO that would be impossible without a pre-planted cover up story.
So, one day I found myself in New Zealand and went to a university library and looked up the papers on that day.
LHO was arrested approx. 1:40pm, Dallas time.
Time Zone differences: NZ is UTC +12 hours, Dallas is UTC -6 hours.
Thus LHO was arrested on November 23rd, at 7:40AM NZ Time.
Yet the morning papers on the 23rd, a Saturday, which came out between 8AM and 10AM (it varies by the edition) had a write up of LHO's dossier.
In the 1960s they did have telephones so the news could have easily reached NZ by then. However, printing tonnes of newspapers takes time, as does writing a story and distributing the papers.
The papers likely went to print in the middle of the night before-- which is before the assassination even happened.
I wanted proof, and I got it.
The people who don't believe are not interested in evidence and will take any rationalizations presented to them at face value. This is the reason that, every year or every 5 years, in November, we get these asinine "there was no conspiracy" stories like this one.
Check my account name, I won't be back (assuming I don't get hellbanned for the "crime" of disagreeing with the hive mind, like so many do.)

- ceejayoz 13y agoSo the conspiracy decided to notify a newspaper in New Zealand in advance? And none of the many, many people involved in putting it together and printing it noticed the rather large cover story that hadn't happened yet?
- jlgreco 13y agoThis is a perfect example of what I have talked about elsewhere in this thread: finding a weirdness, declaring it a supporting detail of your pet conspiracy theory, and absolutely failing to describe how the detail is any less weird when considered in the context of your pet theory. Assuming that the CIA or Illuminati or whoever killed JFK: Why the hell would they tip off New Zealand newspapers of all people? Lets do some role-playing to explore the full extent of this absurdity: "Alright Stan, lets go over the checklist one last time" "Welp, we have all the bullets and guns already, and both shooters say they are good to go. Escape routes are already planned, and Ruby knows his lines. I think that just about covers it.. oh shit..." "What?" "We forgot to tip off New Zealand!" "W-What?" "We forgot to tip off New Zealand. Boss says that New Zealand newspapers have to know about this before it goes down." "Why the hell..." "Hey man, orders are orders. Something about the international dateline I guess?" "....that is not how the international dateline works."
